new chapter Soon™

Any minute now...

>>280524836
yeah

>>280522847 (OP)
oh, it's gash alright

>>280522847 (OP)

How soon?

>>280526600
it's already out

>>280526600
somebody pony up

>>280528808
Wonder who her partner will be.

Bumping to keep alive.

Glad I finally remembered to check /a/ for the Gash thread this time.

>>280522847 (OP)
I miss my girl Cherish, will she ever show up?

>>280522847 (OP)
gosh of the minute

>>280528808
why focusing on a new character instead of an old one?

>>280534221
To mix up the formula? Even if slightly

>>280534654
I understand it and appreciate it, but all I want to do is see all my favorite old characters.

>>280522847 (OP)
Oh, is it time already?

>>280535893
Best time of the month.

I've been reading Gash 2 recently and I feel distraught that I am already about to be caught up. Only got 9 chapters to go.... I hate monthly releases, I don't wanna be caught up yet, bros... The past week of reading 2-3 chapters a day has been fantastic, I don't want it to end.

>>280536892
Such is the life of manga readers.

>>280536892
Look on the bright side. You can read with us now! Yipee!!!!

>>280522847 (OP)
I'm so excited!

unpopular opinion: Bari is cooler than Brago, there I said it.

>>280541257
But brago has a cooler power.
So they're both cool but brago has a cool power so he's double cool.

somebody dump the raws

>>280541257
That's not an unpopular opinion. Barry is literally the man who can strike the king with his best friend being the last kaiser of Russia. Brago is just an oversized freak with a cuckqueen handler.

It's now available.

There is so much HOLY SEXO in this chapter. I'm not kidding


https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1CC5eKHfG_ja8rS7S4mELihvYBfOzqyoA

>>280543050
I thought it was unpopular because of how crazy people go about Brago.

>>280543322

Bump it anons

>>280541716
Nah, Bari is cooler.

BUMP THE CHAPTER NOW, ANONS https://comick.io/comic/zatch-bell-2/eNMtuFqJ-chapter-32-en

>>280544345
Coolest guy ever.

>>280544418
Ehhh...
It was ok.

>>280544744
IDK, BUMP THE CHAPTER, NOW

>>280541257
>>280544345
I think Bari is super cool, but he also literally jobbed to a door.

Dump it

>>280545007
Okay

>>280545167
reminds me of kanchome

Holy fuck

>>280545351
Cute

>>280545259
The most important?

>>280545542
SEX

>>280545542
We should never have doubted Raiku

>>280545703
Man, I felt this chapter so short, and now here comes the pain, another month to wait. Thank you for posting all the chapter!

>>280545630
>aruterego
I know we've been living with tons of essentially untranslated stuff like rashirudo for awhile but not using alterego when it's so obviously right there bugs me

>>280545786
Thanks OP

>>280545630
So this seems to imply that they recognize some powerful spells, meaning they must have gotten decently far in the original battle for king?
Maybe if only Jil recognized them, but since Luna seems to as well it implies that she's used it before?

>>280545542
I guess the demon world needed a Big Boing too.

>>280545703
Cool page. Thanks for dumping. Interesting chapter, I was ready for getting back to action after last chapter, but I guess Raiku wanted to take things slow for a bit longer, and needed to answer some more questions, this time regarding the mummies. Elleby's gonna make it, but I think Cuffey's gonna bite it soon.

>>280545703
I hope they can use this spell to make bodies for all those people who are being controlled by Beliel against their will and free them for good, like the butterfly girl and the animal girl.

>>280545586
>Kiyomaro receiving psychic damage upon hearing a stupid joke riddle

>>280546200
It's gonna get used maybe one more time before Beliel kills her off or something

I think this chapter sort of shows the flaws of monthly releases to this kind of story.
It just feels like any new character introduced has to have a super sped up introduction and this chapter was trying to introduce four new characters. Meanwhile characters that existed in the original series already have their traits/personalities built up already so rushed re-introductions don't feel as bad.

>>280545542
No wonder she jobbed during the battle

>>280546330
This is her teen/adult form. She could have been a loli originally.

>>280545630
>Mirakupusu
Miracle pussy?

>>280546224
I really like this image.

>>280545187
Holy shit, Answer-Talker got even nuttier.

>>280546307
Those two girls deserve to be free, at least Raiku should let those two get their own bodies and the get rid of that spell.

>>280546455
My favorite spell.

This chapter felt very weirdly paced

Stuff kinda just... happens.

Not that I want stuff to be stretched out necessarily, but I feel like the introduction to the new Cards/enemies-who-claim-to-be-allies here should have been done over the course of multiple chapters where it's ambiguous what their actual motives are as we see them tag along while other fights or plot threads are going on.

>>280546311
Zellie's intro was handled fine in chapter 1.

>>280546607
They'll fix the pace with extra scenes in the anime. Let me dream.

>>280545703
So, how shit is going to hit the fan for this? Also who do you think offed jilnoz in the previous battle, my money is on clear

>>280545896
btw how are the spells written in japanese? its amussing that all these time the translation use a kind of broken english for the spells

>>280546687
Might have gotten gang banged by ancient mamado

>>280546405
>This is her teen/adult form. She could have been a loli originally
o yeah you are right, demons grow old too

>>280546687
The Clear angle makes sense because Asheron knows her too, but that means she probably got taken out by Gorm at Clear's request. Can't rule out her just getting smoked by Zeon or Brago though.

>>280546687
I'm wondering how she got so far to begin with. Dolls don't seem that powerful.

>>280546997
>I'm wondering how she got so far to begin with. Dolls don't seem that powerful.
we still yet to see what did alterego can do, remember that momon got far by not fighting

>>280546997
But the duo seem to recognize the spells as being stronger which might imply they lasted a decent amount of time. >>280546013

Patiently waiting for White to revive and look exactly like Clear but retarded and with a love for fish.

>>280545896
Leaving the spells as-is is completely fine and lends to its otherworldly nature. Localizing some spells but not localizing others is just a terrible idea.

>>280546997
Granted they both had plenty of help from Allies, but all of Kanchome’s spells are just distractions and his most used spell after he got it was just making some extra copies of himself. I imagine Raiku has plans in mind for her if he went to the extra length of making a brand new demon with unconventional powers.

>>280547220
>Plans in mind for her
Designated mummy maker

>>280545351
What's under the hat?

>>280545368
That hurts the fish, you psycho.

>>280547286
Yeah she's clearly meant to revive all of the dead demons.

>>280547520
And free the good "villains".

>>280545896
Apparently they didn't because spells have some kind of naming consistency and it might break the spell language? idfk I don't see any part of that spell written in here

https://zatchbell.fandom.com/wiki/Spell_nomenclature

>>280522847 (OP)
I always think this is a Pokemon energy card when I see it

Weird to have a chapter where nothing bad happens with such a setup

>>280545368
is she wearing a diapper? thats hot

>>280546311
>>280546607
I don't even think it's a monthly pace problem, it's an editing and modern manga problem. Authors fear that manga readers don't have the attention span to enjoy longer arcs for character introductions anymore. So all of the intros are being blitzed through like a checklist and Raiku not having an editor makes it so the pacing/execution is clunkier than Gash 1. At the very least I'm glad Raiku's managed to keep the hype in but it's been multiple volumes now and I don't think a single character moment has hit as hard as any from the original series yet. The stakes are higher but yet I feel less invested in the plot and attached to the characters - the work is still coasting on a being a rare sequel that actually introduces a new plot and changes the status quo but that's about it.

>>280546742
They're just written in katakana

>>280546455
Thats the spell you use to heal the world.

>>280548946
>>280546311
>>280546607
Do you think that if it were released as a completed work it would go better than the monthly release? More time could be spent on certain elements because you don't have to squeeze it into a monthly release and not having to worry about the audience forgetting because it's been a month in real time

>>280545542
please look at the boing

Would you like to see them team up?

Interesting chapter. I like the idea of getting to see demons we missed out on in the original series, and it's a nice touch that the Jilnoz has insider jokes with her book owner. The new cards are a missed opportunity though, could have had an interesting problem to chew on if they weren't immediately trustworthy to everyone. I'm still not sure I buy their story. Beliel can't destroy their hearts because he can't see them because...rope magic?

As everyone has said, pseudo-monthly pace is too slow. Really feels like this story needs a biweekly schedule to meet the sweet spot of pacing and quality. There is way too much story to tell with only 10 chapters per year. I'd be totally fine with shorter chapters that give us more worldbuilding and mundane stuff.

>>280545424
I always like how he never beats around the bush and calls everyone stupid.

>>280545187
He's an angel.

>>280546075
YAY!

>>280545229
Oh good. I was afraid these two were bad guys.

>>280545368
I hope she stays happy forever.

>>280545149
>>280545167
Ah, this is clearly rope magic.

>>280551380
The heck is rope magic?

>>280545703
Ya know, that's a pretty good reason to consider her as the most important demon. Not a bad payoff, Raiku

>>280545667
imagine, your entire clan can profit off of making sex dolls

>>280551424
Its my specialty.

>>280551266
I said that ironically, but I since Gash trusts them they actually must be good.

>>280545424
Witchbros...

>>280545463
Nah I don't trust a man with eyes like that.

>>280545703
Well that's pretty darn powerful.

>>280544873
Hey, my greatest heroes jobbed to a door.

>>280546997
I assume her strategy was to use numbers game with the dolls. Like if each if her spells are independently functioning that could overwhelm some of the more Brick tier Demons.

>>280545528
They should've taken a step back. Someone could've gotten hurt.

>>280545630
Those are some big boings.

>>280545616
Even though I know Gash is the Demon King, it's still weird seeing characters defer to him as their liege.

>>280545542
Hummina hummina.

>>280545542
I feel like we should start doing polls when new demons get name dropped on what their design is going to be because I was not expecting this

Cuffey is so cute. I don't trust him but I wouldn't be mad if he betrays them.

>>280554759
I had a feeling it was going to be a girl, just not that attractive.

>>280545351
>Not taking off the hat even under water

>>280545446
Ropesbros... Will we ever get relevant again...

>>280545486
Thats my HER-... Who the fuck is that?

>>280545542
>Diversity hire gets the bombshell white friend

>>280545703
Thanks for the dump anon. I wonder if her ancestors were as SEXO as her...

>>280546311
I thought the pacing was fine desu

>>280522847 (OP)
/a/ really overrates the shit out of this. It's so boring.

>>280545896
>>280546742
The katakana for it actually a-ru-te-re-go/アルテレゴ while alter ego would be a-ru-taa e-go/アルターエゴ. Obviously, it is alluding to alter ego as a spell name, but translating as such would be inaccurate.

>>280549468
I don't think a faster release schedule or volume-by-volume schedule would help. I follow monthly manga regularly and even if there are hiatuses or only 10 chapters a year, it's fine as long as the pacing of the overall story flows well. Dungeon Meshi was only 10 chapters a year since that's how Harta's release schedule works and it was always a joy to read monthly. Similarly I don't have any issue keeping up with even a dense work like Heavenly Delusion where there are multiple plot threads and minor characters to keep track of.

>>280545786
Thank you very much, anon.

>>280544345
My hero.

>>280522847 (OP)
Thank you bros, it was nice reading this chapter with you. See you next month.

So, let's assume for a second this new pair aren't actually friendly and are duping Kiyomaro and co

What's their play?

Maybe if the girl gets a new body, her orb won't be a weak point anymore?

Well that explains the mummy supply being solved but there's still the issue of there being a finite source of stone books to bring to life. Wait don't fucking tell me they're going to look for a descendant of that fucker that turned 40 demons and their books to stone tablets.

>>280545586
>TN: kiyomaro is not amused by this
Kek

>>280547090
Wait, these guys are from a previous selection? I thought they were just randoms and resurrected demons. Not the Millennium Mamodo arc again.
>>280557199
We clearly need some ally for added tension when they get inevitably killed by a stronger fighter for their betrayal.

>>280557967
I mean, if it's all demon magic and it is inheritable, it's a good way to solve their problem.

>>280545542

Thread theme

>>280545703
Isn't her ability way too convenient?
Feels like the author will let her use it this one time before the author kills her or disables her for the rest of the series only for her to come back and revive everyone after the final boss is defeated.

>>280556071
Since it alludes to alterego, I think aluterego would be better then.

>>280559495
Maybe he'll do a "I can only use this power once every x days" type thing. That will keep her busy for the rest of the manga.

>>280551798
Hanma Yuujirou?

>>280562231
That or she gets kidnapped by the villains and forced to mass produce flawless bodies for them to no longer have weak points

>>280548358

I think the bad starts happening the second she gets her doll body.

>>280545102
>yes, back then the men lost their dicks from the sheer speed of my... my fucking... ah god is this... that syphilis i was warned about?

>>280545116
aren't epipens for allergies and the like, and not for dangerous animal venom?

>>280564526
I think the implication is that she wasn't stung, otherwise they would've brought up the poison.
I think see the scorpion on her just brought her into shock, causing her body to tense up like that.

>>280545312
that's either a really good relationship with a client or she's a fucking thief. probably the former given the series this is

>>280545424
>>280545586
holy shit that face lmao
so many good laughs this chapter

>>280564526
It can be for either

>>280557199
I feel they'll betray Gash and Kiyo.

>>280557199
Something bad will happen from or around them, for sure.
But since Gash trusts them, they aren't lying about this, guaranteed

>>280572129
The rope power seems too useful. I feel like he's going to die after they manage to set the girl free.

i didn't noticed until reading it for a second time that cuffey and elleby are based on tarousa and riemu from animal land (doubutsu no kuni), even the way cuffey healed camilla is similar to how tarouza can enter other's mind and feel as well.

>>280572680
Nice catch.

>>280545786
Thank you for posting.

>>280555882
Her orb thing looks to be on the hat

>>280572680
Maybe it's a trick to get us to lower our guard.

>>280572680
nice observation

>>280572680
>>280579814
whoops, hit post by accident.

I was gonna bring up that one of the characters in animal land is a genius Takamine too.

>>280564526
She specifically mentions anaphylaxis which is a severe allergic reaction that venoms can cause if you're allergic to them.

>>280546075
>>280552641
She's more like a thicc boing

>>280546224
>>280545586
I mean, stupid nonsense canonically cripples his answer talker and normal brain functions.

>>280579868
at first i thought raiku just liked to add some references here and there to doubutsu no kuni, like by example with the character of gill with giller giller giller, but it's seems more complex now that we knows of cuffey and elleby

>>280545351
>>280545368
>>280545386
Can't wait to see them suffer.

>>280581473
Man, they are going to suffer so hard.
