We've been exasperated wondering why Metro was wasting time with this stupid duel, and it's because Red could never arrow him in the first place. I'd never expect him to accept being red arrowed, with all his ego. But, at the same time, we did see him testing its limits on the baseball field, so it's not outta nowhere, he knows how much control over himself he'd maintain.

>>279522563 Why are we wasting pages on this shit, we the readers know he's not a fake because you've shown us his face a thousand times already. This is padding the page count. If you wanted to make this argument you shouldn't have shown us his face
>>279548377 i could see it work if it wasa quick thing, maybe before the match started, with metropoliman saying "alright, to prove you i'm not a fake" and taking like 3 pages at best. but this manga seems convinced that a 50 pages chapter should contain just as much action as a 20 pages one
>>279551863 So if Mukaido wasn't the one to arrow Mirai, would Mirai start sperging out about how Metrosexual Man should also live to be happy or some shit?
>>279552419 uhh i understand ohba messing around with time when dealing with the arrows and wings, even if really dumb, but this is a a gun you aren't having a conversation while the bullet flies towards you
>>279552584 Y'know what? Never mind. I think I'm okay with the slow bullets just to make Metroman suffer. I was afraid that he'd somehow convince the bitch and the woman to let him go while the bullets were midair.
Oh that was shorter than usual. Thank god there's one character who gets shit done in this manga, a shame he's probably leaving soon. What's your favourite gun? See you tomorrow
Pacing was once again glacial but at least something happened. Shame that the character who died is one of the two who was actually willing to make things happen in the series. And that the other one is I assume dying in the next one.

>>279553004 I know he died due to all the spoilers here, but it still feels weird to see the main villain up until now die. I guess this is another thing Ohba did to make this not-reversi >>279552842 so the person in the trump mask was the questionable gendered kid we saw several chapters ago?
>>279556576 not-reversi as in making reversi without trying to make it obvious it's just his reversi idea. Instead of brainwashing, it's cupid-arrow(plus wings), instead of an anti-hero protagonist, it's a moralfag, instead of demons, it's angels etc. and now instead of protagonist/antagonist focus, they kill off the antagonist as mentioned in Bakuman "Reversi biggest flaw is the focus on the protagonist/antagonist relationship, we can't just kill of the villain and introduce a new one" and thus they do just that in Platinum End
>>279557758 it's also not-death note in a way >power to kill >power to control people >supernatural companion only people with the power can see >they get wings like light wanted >but the protagonist is moral and is opposite to twilight in not wanting to ever use his kill power i like it in principle. in a better version of reality this manga would've been an interesting story of a guy trying to never cross the gap and abuse his powers while stopping others from doing so, with every character having understandable and relatable motivations that made the argument that killing is always wrong viable. what we got is a whiny bitch that does jack shit for the whole story until other better characters spur him into action. and even then he whines the whole way through
>>279552496 Given how close the bullets are, even if they had superhuman perception the sound waves literally wouldn't move fast enough for them to be having that conversation, and of course neither would their mouths/tongues.

Platinum end we've got two boring M/F main leads, hard carried by a metrosexual man and cancerman, cosmetic surgery guy was pretty good, and this craft kid who seems to be pulling the strings but then what.. we had a middle ages virgin who just wanted to get laid, two jobless NEETs gay for each other and a literal kid who was executed in front of a live studio audience.

Man, I actually want to reread Mirai Nikki now. Terrorist woman was hot.
>>279560576 Mirai Nikki was fucking garbage. Even speaking as someone who loves yandere, Yuno was mediocre as far as yandere go and wasn't nearly enough to redeem it. I still think it was better than Platinum End.
>>279565665 Over time my opinion declined of it, but theres one thing i wonยดt ever fucking deny: The Opening/Endings absolutely fuck and those sets of character theme songs that got made seperatedly from the anime are excellent shit:
>>279585370 why blame herself, they all had to deal with a shitty game to begin with. To be able to only choose people that tried to commit suicide makes the entire thing meaningless
>>279585397 this kinda doesn't make sense tho. special angels have white arrows specifically to perform euthanasia, so you'd think carrying dead bodies is part of the job, but she talks like it's a disgrace for someone her rank
>>279585638 >>279585663 >>279585699 >>279585731 this is such a great scene and it makes me a bit mad because it shows ohba still has it when he pulls his head out of his ass. no words but it says a lot. i wonder how conscious mukaido even was. i like to think he was at least aware enough to figure out someone he loved was close by
>honorary MC and main antagonist go down at the same time, leaving us with two characters with zero drive This being my first time reading, I legitimately have no idea where the fuck the story can go on now. I assume the next antagonist will be Trump mask kid but damn.
>>279586084 >we don't even get a goodbye or something from Mukaido I disagree. The hosiptal scene is the culmination a long process. It's his wife's chance to say goodbye, not his, because Mukaido has been saying his goodbyes for a long time now.
>>279586084 >>279588453 Yeah, I think it's very fitting how he says his final lines and then pulls the trigger. He did what he had to. The man is done. The end. Platinum End.

>>279586277 the answer is i read the second part and i still don't remember what happens aside from the ending
>>279595689 >write good side characters but completely fail with the main ones It's a very peculiar kind of failure that's up once in a while. I wonder what the cause is.
>>279600270 Some writers think only about the premise and treat main characters like templates they can never stray far from. Mirai is the textbook wimpy moralfag high school boy despite his extreme upbringing. He tried to kill himself, he has that one memory of his parents he keeps returning to, but otherwise he brings nothing to the table beyond radical pacifism that doesn't serve the story either. Saki is even worse: she doesn't amount to anything more than token love interest.
They're both afterthoughts compared to someone like Mukaido, whose entire character drives the story forward. His family is used as more than just background motivation: they're the hostages. His cancer is the ticking clock that generates tension in each scene. His moral dilemma towards life and being the kind of man his wife and daughter will remember fondly is compelling because he's forced to compromise it. It's a very bad sign when a side character steals the plot this hard and dies.
But the saddest part is Ohba's shown he's so much better than this. Death Note has an amazing premise yet Light still steals the show by being such a fascinating character. Ashirogi wasn't that good, but still strong characters with clear motivations that worked in tandem with the narrative. Mirai is dragged forward like a dead weight by whatever whiplash turn the plot takes.
>>279585370 oh yea, they mentioned this angel went from a normal to special rank and nobody knows why like it was some big mystery. Did anything come from it?

>>279595743 >i can't believe this was supposed to be the good part of the manga I would say that the second main antagonist is much better, but I don't remember a single sing he does during the story.

A follow-up question would be why Meyza, the angel of greed said to have used underhanded means to become a special angel, did not doxx everyone herself. It's just Ohba stitching plot devices together without care so that he can attain his "Platinum End".

We generally all agree that prioritizing your own personal feelings over the well-being of others is selfish, but I feel like we overlook it when that feeling is guilt.
