At first glance I thought his tongue was sticking out lmao

I really think people need to stop taking volume sales and Oricon as the end all be all, for all series, it just leads to all these schizos constantly fighting for bigger number, but Oricon doesn't include a ton of different things (any digital, anything that's not an explicit bookstore, a lot of bookstores)

If you were the wsj chief editor and were given an empty magazine to fill with 20 manga, how many of them would be standard battle action manga?

>>280462675
15

>>280462648
What the fuck is this cope?

>>280462688
The cope of an objective fact about Oricon?
It doesn't include digital or convenience stores, and tons of small bookstores aren't included

Finally watching the newest MHA season (I'm too invested to give it up now). Why is this psycho vampire bitch being treated like a legitimate threat to Deku, he could do this shit in the SECOND SEASON. Does it make more sense in the manga?

At least Dabi is still cool.

samura drama and samura-chihiro drama feel like nothingburger, the arc themes are all over the place
>samura won't looks forward
>iori's decision
>chihiro determination
but chihiro has already been determined, the only conclusion that would make sense for this arc is chihiro punching the shit out of samura for oppositing his will, not this "pleaseeee" heartfelt talk
most importantly, kgb early arcs have been about taking down evil doer, and having good guy samura as the arc antagonist ruined it
haruhiko is a through and through evil and should had been beheaded that time by samura, but he didn't

bachifags started it first

>Here's a rough estimate of the new film's box office revenue
>Considering the box office market over the past few years, a realistic prediction would be a box office revenue of around 10 to 20 billion yen. This is still too broad a range, but it's no doubt that this is why it is so difficult to predict.
>However, if there is something about the content of the work that breaks through and strikes a chord with people, it is entirely possible that the situation could change in an instant.
>Expectations are high that the film will become a social hit again, and many people involved in the film industry have a premonition that something unexpected will happen. If that happens, box office sales of 20 to 30 billion yen would not be a dream.
>The box office results will depend on how much the numbers grow from the end of July when the summer vacation season begins through the Obon holiday period. First of all, we want to pay attention to that timing.
>Movie theaters are going to be busy this summer.

Apparently Kiyoshi's author will be the judge of Jump's 100th monthly award

Q1. Tell us something that left a strong impression on you when you won the monthly award.
"I had just moved to Tokyo and didn’t even have a place to stay, so I was crashing at friends’ places and moving around while working on my award-winning piece. Even my editor was kind of like, ‘Eh, might as well submit it,’ so when I actually won, I was absolutely thrilled! Thanks to the prize money, I was able to move into a proper place.

Q2. Please share a message for aspiring creators aiming to win the Shin Sekai Manga Award.
Getting published in a special issue right after winning is possible, so I think this is the fastest way to take your first step toward becoming a manga artist!
You never know what part of your work will get recognized, so instead of stressing about making the “perfect” one-shot, I think it’s better to just go ahead and create something and submit it. Good luck!

Himaten's author is also featured in the Jump Mangasho website because he also won it before.

Q1. Tell us something that left a strong impression on you when you won the Monthly Award.
A: I was just really happy! I got the results when I was in my third year of high school, so I felt like, “Now I can say I want to be a manga artist without people laughing at me.”

Q2. Please share a message for aspiring creators aiming to win the Shin Sekai Manga Award.
A: My impression is that as long as your entry is at least readable and there's something that shines, you’ve got a shot at winning. Don’t overthink it — just go all out and hit 'em with it!

List of past winners
https://www.jump-mangasho.com/become/works/

Why does Jump serialize obvious trash from talentless hacks when they have great Golden Cup winners that they still haven’t given serialization to?

>>280465913
Volume 1 had SOVL, I refuse hate it.

>>280466037
either the winners don't want to do or can't handle a weekly series yet

More data according to >>280465935
>>280465810
Usui won the award at age 24 in 2013 (he's from Osaka). So he was born in 1989, currently 35-36 years old.
>>280465831
Ono won the award at age 17 in 2011 (he's from Tochigi). So he was born in 1994, currently 30-31 years old.

Now I understand why Saito is pushing Usui, maybe he feels bad because Usui started very late (start submitting manga at age 24 when normally people do it in their teens), and if he got cancelled at age 36, he might've quit manga industry altogether.

>>280465841
Anon, they are literally going through their current batch of mangaka who managed to last a year. Nue's author already did this and that's the guy I would have personally not allowed near judging contests.

>>280466104
Saito pity pushing again

>>280466104
Maybe Saito think Usui would become the next Shinohara, if I remember correctly Shinohara debuted at age 33 with Sket Dance after quitting his work at a game designer company.

>>280466104
>Saito

I doubt he cares. If anyone is pushing Usui, it's Sugita.

>>280465873
bcuck, blacked clover is literally axed from jump to die

>>280465154
The latest arc had a higher reception, if the author doesn't shit the bed after this and keeps improving, it can break out of the exister clique.

>>280466186
Also if you compare Kiyoshi with Sket Dance again, I think it's apparent that Jump was very patient with Sket Dance too, even though it placed at the bottom of ToC in chapter 14, but still recovered and became a long running moderate hit with anime adaptation.
https://www.jajanken.net/en/sakuhins/3p7wEbvn1Z/

Kiyoshi's early chapters' ToC rankings were very bad too.
https://www.jajanken.net/en/sakuhins/GJnOxdP84L
Now the question, can Usui make Kiyoshi as a long running manga like Shinohara did in Sket Dance?
>>280466276
Might be the case too. Although I don't know if a squad leader has a say in deciding ToC placements.

Stop spreading baseless hate on Kiyoshi. Let's appreciate the story for its depth and creativity instead.

Hakuri
Extremely shitty progression between factual weakling to "badass" genius. There is literally 10 chapters and couple of days between two states.
Fujobait with him also felt extremely forced.
Relationships between him and Chihiro had no real gradual development. Dudes just fought in the corridor a bit and voila they are talking like the best buddies. Bullshit.
On top of that (in general KGB problem) - they don't have casual chats that would create the natural environment for the relationship's progress. They only talk about the plot and that makes their relationships feel extremely dry.
He also has no fleshed out personal arc outside Auction arc. He had it there and it was concluded and there it is - he is just the floating boat with extremely boring and lazy goal to be the MC's cocksleeve. Not to avenge his clan, not to become the best sorcerer in the world, not even those simple things. He is fucking object.
And finally - Hakuri only exists when plot demands it. He had his abilities not because it's laid out in his design. It was laid out in his design to serve the exact plot author had on mind. Same with SBA. He existed to advance the plot at the temple and then got written off. Garbage. Be sure - in HQ he will also exist just to do some shit with Shinuchi or to be kidnapped again. He is walking tool, not the character.

>I legit do not believe anyone went through all literal thousand of chapters if the only thing they care about are the fights
You'd be surprised

But the truth is that they get their "experience" through tiktok and youtube shorts. All complete with the shitty edits and music that are not even from the anime nor the manga. This applies to most anime of this generation as well.

We're years past covid though. OP in the west is currently bigger than it ever was during covid.

>>280467552
I do dislike the fightfag mentality that has plagued the more current One Piece. This series is not built on that. It was worldbuilding first, everything else second

I can guarantee you most have never even watched anything East Blue until the LA dropped despite joining on manga leaks weekly

>>280467552
have 2 power system and many characters who can fight. so its just power levelfag and fight-match up.

>>280467703
JJK is short enough. Even with the dumb memes and Gojo's popularity eclipsing the rest of the characters
Naruto and OP, I get though

>>280467696
No? It was falling off from the covid boost while JJK was thriving. The live action wasn't helping and Film Red didn't perform in the west and that was 2-3 years after the lockdowns, it had lost covid momentum. In like the last year though it's gotten really big on tiktok and x out of nowhere.

You could play Infinity Castle 24/7 across 500+ theaters worldwide, 200 of those in IMAX, with how much you project.

BTW, here's a reality check that absolutely demolishes the "Superman flopped in Japan" cope narrative, rofl. See picrel:
>July 11 Japan box office
1. Kokuho (国宝): ¥870K (~$5.4M total gross = ~$35M USD)
2. Superman: $850K on debut day
3. F1: The Movie: $220K
4. Lilo & Stitch (re-release): $120K
5. Mission Impossible (re-release): $75K
You know what that actually means, Paco? $850K opening day in Japan is extremely solid. It's less than $20K behind the #1 movie (Kokuhō), which is already in week 5 and coasting on buzz and local loyalty. Superman has just entered the market. It's brand new, Western, and not inherently built to dominate Japan.

And despite that it opened at #2, on a weekday. That number tracks very well for a ~$3M+ opening weekend, which is great by Japan's standards for foreign films, especially live-action superhero ones. "Lukewarm reviews" don't even matter at this point, it's still eating market share on day one. And it also has a perfect runtime of 2h10m, which makes it far more rewatch friendly and it gets more showings per day unlike Infinity Castle. Everytime people go and rewatch Superman, that's money not going to Demon Slayer.

>>280467959
Those 20 minutes are ABSOLUTELY killer in theatrical terms. You're not watching a movie at home. You're fitting it into a tight schedule of daily showtimes.
>Theaters need buffer time between screenings: cleanup, ads, seating, trailers, etc
>A 2h10m movie with trailers = ~2h35m total screen occupancy.
>A 2h35m movie with trailers = ~3h+ screen occupancy.
That's 1-2 fewer showings per day on average. Multiply that across hundreds of screens, and you've just slashed your earnings potential significantly. Money talks above all. A shorter runtime = more showings = more tickets sold per screen per day. Even 10 minutes can be the difference between 4 showings/day vs 5.

Superman's 2h10m is the golden zone, long enough to feel like a blockbuster, short enough to maximize rewatch efficiency. It can fit into after-work time slots, matinees, and has room for repeat viewings on weekdays.

Meanwhile Infinity Castle has a 2h35m runtime. That's exactly the kind of thing theaters HATE unless you’re guaranteeing Avatar or Endgame-level returns. For an anime movie with diminishing returns post-Mugen Train and isn't even a finale? That's a liability, not a flex.

So no, this isn't a "switch-up." It's just called understanding how theaters work, something you clearly don't. You're trying to treat theatrical box office like you're timing YouTube videos. Sit down, shut up, and stop embarrassing yourself with these baby-tier arguments.

>heavily front-loaded
>running on fumes from word of mouth
>bleeding screen count
>and not pulling IMAX or PLF traffic
The fact that Superman came within ~$20K of it on a random Friday opening day, in a foreign market, with no built-in cultural nostalgia is VERY solid. That's like saying, "You only lost by a point to the reigning champion on your first game ever!" And pretending it's a dunk. You're just exposing how fragile Kokuho's legs are if it's only barely holding off day one Superman, lmao.
>Imagine losing in your fucking OPENING Day to a movie in its 5th week.
Lol. You're trying to weaponize seat count without understanding that seat count doesn't mean sold-out. Superman didn’t "lose", it debuted at #2, in a market that has never been friendly to Western superhero films. And ut still posted $850K on a Friday which puts it on pace for a $3M+ opening weekend in Japan. For comparison:
>The Batman opened to ~$1.7M
>Across the Spider-Verse opened ~$2.8M
>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 opened ~$3.5M
Superman is right in the pocket for a successful Japan debut. Not a flop, not a disaster, and definitely not "decimated."
>>280468775
>Superman is going to have its shit decimated by next week. Might not even be in theaters by week 3
LMAO. If you actually knew box office legs, you'd know movies DON'T get booted by Week 3 unless they’re catastrophic bombs. Superman's runtime (2h10m) means it fits theater schedules better than most big blockbusters. And it pulled a healthy $850K weekday open in a market that isn't even its stronghold. It's not being "decimated", it’s finding its floor. You wish it'd flop, but the data ain't on your side.

>a religious temple decked out like a theme park

They're going nuclear on PR because they know this isn't Mugen Train again (and a lot of Japanese agrees the Mugen Train days are long gone). The recap experiment didn't hold overseas either. They saw that. And now they’re overcompensating with temples and heritage pageantry, trying to front-load interest before word-of-mouth slows it all down again (the seiyuu are all praying for months before the movie drops because they're insecure btw). You don't roll out this kind of spectacle unless you’re terrified of Week 2 drop-offs (which they are, see Jurassic World).

You can set a temple on fire and drape it in Demon Slayer banners, and it still won't increase screen retention vs Hollywood blockbusters like Superman, Jurassic World, and Fantastic Four. It still won't improve runtime economics (Infinity Castle is long, that cuts into showtimes). It still won't change the global fatigue surrounding this IP's dragged out final chapters because it's run out of content.

Your picrel is the equivalent of the Flash premiere with Ezra Miller and red carpet chaos. Flashy as hell, but meaningless when the actual box office legs are soft.

Q1. What impressed you when you received the monthly award?
≥I was a university student at the time, and I remember fighting the fear of job hunting while drawing. The award-winning work was to be published in an additional issue of the magazine, but I remember that I had to redraw all the pages because the drawing was so dirty. I recently learned that I had met Mr. Watanabe of "Ginka & Glüna" at the award ceremony.

Q2. What would you like to say to new artists who are aiming to win the Shinsegae Manga Award?

Latest one. What the fuck is that jump from number 3?

In the manga world, there's only three people who can truly be called a celebrity and be referred to as a superstar and these people are:
>Osamu Tezuka
The father of manga.
>Akira Toriyama
Most popular manga ever made and Tezuka's heir apparent (Tezuka literally called him that).
>Eiichiro Oda
Best selling manga ever.

Just like Kurumada, there's nothing that separates people like Kishimoto and Kubo from another mangaka with a hit, in Japan at least. There's no niche nor achievement that makes him a more notable name. Same with the Demon Slayer author whose series is well-known but the general public don't care about the author. Tezuka, Toriyama and Oda are the closest you'd get to "rockstars" in the manga world. Everyone else are just a dime a dozen.

All this just to say "MHA deserved to be more popular than "insert the series he hates" "

>JJK, Frieren and Solo Leveling are the new hot topic anime).

You don't roll out this kind of spectacle unless you’re terrified of Week 2 drop-offs (which they are, see Jurassic World).

You can set a temple on fire and drape it in Demon Slayer banners, and it still won't increase screen retention vs Hollywood blockbusters like Superman, Jurassic World, and Fantastic Four. It still won't improve runtime economics (Infinity Castle is long, that cuts into showtimes). It still won't change the global fatigue surrounding this IP's dragged out final chapters because it's run out of content.

Your picrel is the equivalent of the Flash premiere with Ezra Miller and red carpet chaos. Flashy as hell, but meaningless when the actual box office legs are soft.

>>280467552
>This series absolutely loathes the low attention span of that generation. I legit do not believe anyone went through all literal thousand of chapters if the only thing they care about are the fights
Don't underestimate the binge watchers, they can easily marathon all of Naruto, filler included

is Hima-Ten! any good?

>>280472103
think toradora mixed with bisque doll, but faster progression than both and the art is kind of endearing.

>>280472082
Are you sure? Naruto at least have canon content paced nicely, fillers can be skipped entirely

But One Piece, especially the anime. Is a literal slog because it's canon content stretched to 20 minutes and depending on the chapter they adapted, it could feel very slow (which is like 90% of the time)

In the manga world, there's only three people who can truly be called a celebrity and be referred to as a superstar and these people are:
>Osamu Tezuka
The father of manga.
>Akira Toriyama
Most popular manga ever made and Tezuka's heir apparent (Tezuka literally called him that).
>Eiichiro Oda
Best selling manga ever.

Just like Kurumada, there's nothing that separates people like Kishimoto and Kubo from another mangaka with a hit, in Japan at least. There's no niche nor achievement that makes him a more notable name. Same with the Demon Slayer author whose series is well-known but the general public don't care about the author. Tezuka, Toriyama and Oda are the closest you'd get to "rockstars" in the manga world. Everyone else are just a dime a dozen.
>>Gotouge
A one-trick pony hack (and possibly a tranny) whose entire mediocte career's success doesn't come from (his) own merits and was single-handedly carried by Ufotable. The general public don't care about Koyoharu Gotouge because (he's) not a notable name with a prolific career. They just like Demon Slayer by Ufotable.
>>Fujimoto
A one-trick pony jack whose entire career hinged on shock value. His whole career's success doesn't come from his own merits and comes from surrounding himself with more talented people like Tatsuya Endo of Spy x Family. That's why manga sales plummeted by 60%.
>>Gege
A one-trick pony whose whole career is based on ripping off Togashi, but he really just made another Naruto clone. Like Fujimoto, he was surrounded by more talented people like the editor who told him that his self-insert Yuta and dyke waifu Maki are boring as shit. Just like Gotouge, his slop was (but not to a greater extent than Demon Slayer) carried by Mappa giving his slop manga steroids.

And you know what they all have in common? No staying power.

>>280472168
>>280472082
Naruto's anime. Especially Shippuden has what you call "Canon Filler" within the canon episodes
Still, it's likely they'll binge watch all of them.

I saw some marathon the infamous filler wall of the original anime

>>280472147

Those 20 minutes are ABSOLUTELY killer in theatrical terms. You're not watching a movie at home. You're fitting it into a tight schedule of daily showtimes.
>Theaters need buffer time between screenings: cleanup, ads, seating, trailers, etc
>A 2h10m movie with trailers = ~2h35m total screen occupancy.
>A 2h35m movie with trailers = ~3h+ screen occupancy.
That's 1-2 fewer showings per day on average. Multiply that across hundreds of screens, and you've just slashed your earnings potential significantly. Money talks above all. A shorter runtime = more showings = more tickets sold per screen per day. Even 10 minutes can be the difference between 4 showings/day vs 5.

Superman's 2h10m is the golden zone, long enough to feel like a blockbuster, short enough to maximize rewatch efficiency. It can fit into after-work time slots, matinees, and has room for repeat viewings on weekdays.

Meanwhile Infinity Castle has a 2h35m runtime. That's exactly the kind of thing theaters HATE unless you’re guaranteeing Avatar or Endgame-level returns. For an anime movie with diminishing returns post-Mugen Train and isn't even a finale? That's a liability, not a flex.

So no, this isn't a "switch-up." It's just called understanding how theaters work, something you clearly don't. You're trying to treat theatrical box office like you're timing YouTube videos. Sit down, shut up, and stop embarrassing yourself with these baby-tier arguments.

>>280468381
>Kokuho has been on the theaters for 5 weeks.
Cool. But that actually helps Superman's case, not hurts it, rofl. A movie in its 5th week is:
>heavily front-loaded
>running on fumes from word of mouth
>bleeding screen count
>and not pulling IMAX or PLF traffic
The fact that Superman came within ~$20K of it on a random Friday opening day, in a foreign market, with no built-in cultural nostalgia is VERY solid. That's like saying, "You only lost by a point to the reigning champion on your first game ever!" And pretending it's a dunk. You're just exposing how fragile Kokuho's legs are if it's only barely holding off day one Superman, lmao.
>Imagine losing in your fucking OPENING Day to a movie in its 5th week.
Lol. You're trying to weaponize seat count without understanding that seat count doesn't mean sold-out. Superman didn’t "lose", it debuted at #2, in a market that has never been friendly to Western superhero films. And ut still posted $850K on a Friday which puts it on pace for a $3M+ opening weekend in Japan. For comparison:
>The Batman opened to ~$1.7M
>Across the Spider-Verse opened ~$2.8M
>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 opened ~$3.5M
Superman is right in the pocket for a successful Japan debut. Not a flop, not a disaster, and definitely not "decimated."
>>280468775
>Superman is going to have its shit decimated by next week. Might not even be in theaters by week 3
LMAO. If you actually knew box office legs, you'd know movies DON'T get booted by Week 3 unless they’re catastrophic bombs. Superman's runtime (2h10m) means it fits theater schedules better than most big blockbusters. And it pulled a healthy $850K weekday open in a market that isn't even its stronghold. It's not being "decimated", it’s finding its floor. You wish it'd flop, but the data ain't on your side.

>>280472715

LOL. You're flailing temple-tier theatrics like it's going to erase the fact that the last Demon Slayer movie underperformed internationally and got outpaced by a filler MHA film with a third of the hype and none of the spiritual bells and whistles. This is not a flex BTW. It's desperation guerilla marketing.
>a religious temple decked out like a theme park
>for a movie based on a four-year-old IP peak
>that is stalling between arcs while Sony milks every ounce out of the theater-to-TV-to-theater shuffle
They're going nuclear on PR because they know this isn't Mugen Train again (and a lot of Japanese agrees the Mugen Train days are long gone). The recap experiment didn't hold overseas either. They saw that. And now they’re overcompensating with temples and heritage pageantry, trying to front-load interest before word-of-mouth slows it all down again (the seiyuu are all praying for months before the movie drops because they're insecure btw).

>>280474544
Love that he's not even pretending MHA is in the same league as KnY anymore.

This fucker is avoiding using a MHA picture at all costs.

Fourth, MHA will still get a Hollywood live-action movie. Something Tatsuki Fujimoto who's the biggest Hollywoodfag in the manga industry won't get, because his coom shock slop has no actual substance. That's why Chainsaw Man lost 60% of its reader base and the ones remaining are sticking around because of sunk-cost fallacy. In other words, they're battered housewives.

Hollywood never picked Gege's slop either because just like Fujimoto, JJK has no actual substance. The whole series is carried by hype and memes, built by shock value, “aura farming”, cool one-liners, and fights beefed up in the anime. Outside of Gojo, it has not a single memorable character. Gege is a bit more talented than the other two hacks though, because he can actually draw good fights, the only thing he's good at.

Hollywood never picked up Demon Slayer because it also doesn't have a single substance. Its entire existence lives and dies by the anime, and the moment Ufotable are done stretching out what little chapter remains of a short-lived series, the franchise will die and fade off into obscurity among many other anime and manga in the weeb ghetto. There's not a single memorable character in this series and it has no crossover appeal, which is why Hollywood ignored it even when Demon Slayer wants to fit in (Aniplex tried to submit Mugen Train into the Oscars and they immediately got rejected).

MHA will outlive them all. It already did, since it effectively got Hollywood's attention and the red carpet treatment. Legendary Pictures picked it up, Shinsuke Sato is the director, Mary Parent is one of the many producers (she produced Minecraft, Dark Knight Trilogy, Godzilla and Dune). MHA outgrew anime just like One Piece, Naruto and Dragon Ball before it. Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer are forever bound to the anime ghetto. As for Black Clover? The less we talk about that trash the better.

Is this series about inbreeding? Interesting premise, if true.

I don't even know what's happening anymore. At least compare Infinity Castle with a different japanese anime movie

Not fucking Superman

Fifth, Kagurabachi is still garbage. It's just another badly drawn manga with shit for all choreography (they're not even fights, they're just highlights of "cool moments" rofl) and boring characters with a protagonist with a flat personality. I'd rather Giorno talk about his stupid, nonsensical Godfather dreams than see Chihiro's vanilla Sasuke cosplay ass who just so casually kills other humans with no moral repercussions or dilemma (author isn't as talented as Kishimoto, his inspiration, to write nuanced characters).

Naruto always tried to avoid killing his enemies. As Goku became an adult, he alsovstopped killing (if only because he could get a new rival out of them). The Joestars all avoided killing their enemies because Araki made it clear that only villains kill humans. Giorno is the only one of the first five JoJo's who kills, but Giorno kills other criminal scums.

Stories like Kagurabachi only works if it functions like Death Note where the protagonist isn't perceived as the hero but rather a villain with an evil vs evil narrative. It's a revenge story, but it seems like the author wants to have his cake ("he's warm, compassionate and very caring!") and eat it too ("he's cold-blooded, he actually KILLS his enemies!").

>>280475236
>he's warm, compassionate and very caring
>he's cold-blooded, he actually KILLS his enemies!
MY. HERO.

>>280475236
Chihiro is more iconic than Deku could ever be.

**TLDR summary version: It's a Himeno-Ten chapter**

```Iemori visits the café where Honoka works, but not for telling her about his job — he just came to see her because he's curious about her crush. When he leaves, he encounters a mysterious and beautiful woman who seems familiar. She's arguing with a man in a car, saying she’s quitting something. Iemori doesn’t quite get what’s going on, but helps her out when she drops her keys.

The woman then offers to drive Iemori home, joking that he must’ve wanted to see her again. She’s cheerful, flirty, and seems used to attention. Turns out, she’s Himeno, a 20-year-old idol who looks just like her. She playfully gives Iemori a handshake ticket, tells him she had fun, and even says “I already love you” — leaving him blushing and totally stunned.```

>>280479560
He's right here bro

>>280479657
>Dual wields with an Enchanted Blade and sashimi knife
Subrau's the coolest Seitei War vet.

>>280476097
Karakuri Circus was canned at 450+ chapters.

>>280479722
Misaka's design is already really popular among spoiled nips, and we haven't even seen his front yet

>>280479682
Xhe is so beautiful...

>>280479657
>hokazono likes kill bill
>subaru is basically just hanzo

>>280479657
>Subaru and Lolibaba have their own unique swordsmen styles
Would be cool if they taught Chihiro them when he meets them.

>>280479682
That's just white haired Maki...

>>280479570
>uruha and samura are dexfags
>sushi might also be a dual wielding dexfag
>misaka is a shirtless strfag
What about hag?

>>280479944
Given her weird hair/hair ornament, I thought she would have hypnotic or psychic sword effects but then we got Kumeyuri so I doubt it's anything like that. Maybe a poison user like Shinobu from kny?

>>280479944
>>sushi might also be a dual wielding dexfag
Since he was the one in the very front of the group I figured he's the tank.

>>280480043
It's probably poison,Hokazano'srecent volume comments are foreshadowing
>"Whenever I hear words like 'Venomous Snake Assassination Squad', I get so happy that it sends shivers down my spine."
>"SushiIt's seriously too delicious.

>>280480228
Also the random big ass snake at her shrine

>>280480228
>>"SushiIt's seriously too delicious.
I really hope Subaru's sushi tastes like total ass and before he dies he manages to make some that isn't half bad.

>>280480228
So she's got a snake themed sword? What is sushiman's sword then, sea themed?

>>280466037
I believe it is because they hope that the constant rejections build character, as per when the mangaka thinks they are doing something kino and it flops they won't get as depressed.

>>280475236
All trvth nvkes btw

>>280475781
Still has more soul than any KGB lcp

>>280480406
I'm sticking with the four sacred beasts theory, Samura has the Vermillion Bird, and Cloud Gouger was a dragon. So hag has Genbu, the turtle-snake, and Subaru has the tiger

>>280480406
>sea themed?
Probably, shit like whales and octopuses if I had to guess.

>>280480570
>They get all these cool animals
>Chihiro gets some goldfish
Th-Thanks Kunishige!

they wont live up to the hype

Ah yes, the sacred beast that protects the central gardens of the heavenly kingdom: Japanese whores

>>280479436
>"no animation" style to cut the corners
>pointless over explanation of the style that makes zero sense
>overusage of that "WPS is ready" stance that looks way less cool than Hokazono thinks as it never results into killing blow or even a serious wound after ch59
>genius idea to make everyone a WPS user of the samey level, so no one Is really faster = there are no one-shots = fights look the same as they were looking before WPS introduction = point of the style is completely lost
>battles turned into tedious slide show
>spend almost a year on that

It was one of the worst ideas he had. I can almost see him just wanting to draw it before SBA without any idea or care about how it would look in the long term. Dumbass.

I only care about sales as long as a favorite manga of mine doesnt get cancelled, anything above that doesnt interest me, I dont care if an author makes more money or not, not my problem.

>>280480950
She tried her best to cure him of his faggotry.

He will learn IWPS next.

Wind Breaker got cancelled lmao

So...... Tafuku won?

>>280481069
maybe she was a fujo

>>280481246
>Author thought he could get away with tracing the 'Shut the hell up' panel from Tokyo Ghoul
Dumbass.

>>280481280
>Kicking back and chowing down sushi while Chihiro and company are gonna be torn apart by El Hermano
Tafuku never loses.

>>280481246
>manhwa wind breaker
what's with east asians and naming their comics "farts"

FACT: Post Samura betrayal SBAA has been the peak of KGB so far.

>>280481280
>>280481392
His Sacrifice is coming up

>>280481246
Who? Was it from jump?

>>280480840
Nothing else would fit Uruha.

>>280481023
I genuinely think Takeru created it just to have an excuse and draw the aurafarming iai pose.

>>280481622
Samura is so dead
Hokazono really wrote the arc to fit season 2 in such a way Samura is so fucking dead right at the end of the season

>>280479805
blue haired Maki

>>280481793
It's like Kenshin's retarded reverse blade katana
Sometimes mangaka just put a concept so retarded that now they basically patented that concept
THAT pose will never stop being associated with KGB for eternity through sheer retardation

>>280481974
Who invented "put your sword behind your back?"

>>280480727
As long as she's a crazy woman, she's good. Hokazano did a good evil woman fodder recently

>>280481829
>Gets reunited with Iori and makes up with her despite being absent for 90% of her life and abandoning her twice
>Is forgiven for his betrayal
>Will die saving everyone around him
>Will be remembered fondly and with adoration
>Will smash Inori pussy for eternity in the afterlife

>>280480401
SUSHI SUCKS

>Creates a sword fighting style so cool and powerful it mindbroke those who are unable to pull it off
How does one learn this power?

>>280482091
Probably some samurai movie from the 40s or 50s

kogan-ryu is the best bullshit sword style

This place barely discusses anything besides Kagurabachi it feels like. I started tapping out when the movie spam began as well. Just unusable dogshit at this point.

>>280482748
Most of nu shonen cant keep a general alive for shit so they use these threads as generals

>>280482748
>I started tapping out when the movie spam began as well

>>280482748
Around the start of new batches is the best time to post here
All the hype and speculation over new series drown out KGB talk

>>280482823
That would be great if they pretended to treat this place as anything besides /kgb/ schizo containment general with the occasional mention of another Jump manga. It's starting to remind me of like lolg or ffg on vg. Just the same six topics looping ad nauseum with the same 12 users because there's just so little new shit to discuss most of the time.

i read shinobi, i like this bitch

>>280482912
Its not even a kgb general because no one talks about the happenings of the actual amnga, its just schizo shit flinging with other mangas

>>280482959
Santa isn't a bad artist but her faces are weird af they have not changed since candy flurry

>thread possession syndrome episode
Maybe if you hadn't hijacked other manga to use as shitfling material people would've come here lmao
Imagine the feelings of Nue and Ichi fans who just want to hang out but are forced see your shitposts

>>280483328
>Pic
Hiruhiko's gonna have to do something crazy if he ever wants to be seen as intimidating again while fighting the big boys. As is now we know any other Enchanted Blade wielder can push his shit in, fuck I bet even Hiyuki could beat him in a fight.

Anyone has the PPP CP for this week?

>>280483752
He's gonna bend the knee, admit hes a scrub and ask KuGOD to teach him the way of the sword.

why is there 60 deleted posts

>>280484452
>KuGOD
Takeru better not cuck him out of getting to wield an Enchanted Blade.

no, its the webtoon wind breaker

>>280475048
>MHA
>below blacked clover
MHA isn’t axed, unlike blacked clover bcuck

WIN Breaker canceled?

What Kawaguchi can do to salvage Otr?

>>280487085
Make the action in the next fight as clear as possible

>>280486599
mha is way below black clover

>>280484710
Did he finally get banned?

>>280487085
get axed and come up with better plot

>>280487085
>>280487136
Pretty much this, if he can make an interesting fight there's a chance but he doesn't draw action well sadly

>>280487415
he ban evaded 4 times in this thread alone

>>280483328
keeping this faggot alive is just blueballing. Want fujos? just make another character, please
I hope he die a pathetic death next time

>>280480727
samura was the fastest swordman but I hope the girl was the strongest combatant

>>280488269
PATHETIChiko the JOBBER will remain an annoying mosquito buzzing in Chihiro's ear until he finally swats him. Probably after he does something stupid like kill someone Chihiro personally cares about to get Chihiro to hate him.

>>280488269
>blueballing
huh? do you have a story to tell the class?

>>280484679
>sword autist
Imagine if he and Subaru bond over their mutual autism

Isn't Ichi fairly slow?
I feel that it takes one whole chapter for things that could be solved in few pages.

>>280489005
>He shows him how to use his autism as a force for good
Personally, I wouldn't mind one of the Hishaku being redeemed/turning over a new leaf.

>>280489054
Its trying to go the one piece road of developing a world slowly, lets see if it can do it with todays tiktok zoomer audience

chad clover

>>280486599
MHA was axed because hori failed to deliver. BC is still ongoing.
Cope, mhacuck.

>>280466969
Need more chiyou thank you

>schizoposting stops
>Thread dies
Proof this place just shouldn't be a general it's not cut out for it.

>>280488269
If he wants fujos, he can always reveal that Hiyuki is transitioned ftm.

Bejita won btw

Is someone gonna make a new thread or are we done here? I don't think all of the leaked color pages have been dumped yet

>>280486586
>Empyreal Cabinet has good art and intruging characters
