Dumping newest translated chapter.
"Daruma's Eye-picking Hour".

oops

Btw, check out our other series if they look interesting to you. Also, we're looking for redrawers to help us with a new series called Darwin's Deadly Sins. You can check it out here: https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/280719895
There are more translated chapters, so if there's enough interest, I can dump them.

Fat dude should have remembered his Sedatives if he's gonna look at something that causes Frenzy...

Not even that, it's like if the Brain of Mensis instakilled you if you looked in its direction.

>go to find cute fat snek

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS MAKE CONTACT, CJ

God, it certainly felt that way at times, especially on that fucking bridge.

>>280888107
Maybe it's their shared sense of curiosity that drags them to places that Asama refuses to go.

>>280888349
In a way, that's what he's doing here >>280887124
>>280887147
except he's stuck doing that for all eternity instead of 10 minutes (which still feel like an eternity lmao)

No, he tried running for like a year, but the creature finally got him when Asama looked away.

This Bloodborne talk made me think, isn't this kind of The One Reborn more than the Moon Presence, with all the slime, random body parts, and shedding pieces of itself? And the wind god that killed it is basically Amygdala, lmao.

>>280888564
Huh, I thought that was something like a flashback, but that makes more sense.

>>280888576
One reborn was a failed attempt to gain the power of the Great Ones, fusing everyone together, but it wasn't a true Great One. It wasn't even kin, just an amalgamated mess. I think you have a point, in that the failures are like ones reborn, in that they're failures filled with power from an external source, but the Moon Presence is that external source, and keeps trying to find a good host. Aunt didn't make it. Asama knew to avoid it. But now, the Moon Presence thinks that the Nephew may be a good host, to be the next Gehrman. Maybe that's what they have in common, they're favored as hosts by Great Ones.

>>280888741
The fact the Birth-Monk saw both Inubousaki and Wakashio as damaged goods basically is interesting. It makes me think that the reason the wind god left is because he recognized that the thing targeting Inubousaki (and Wakashio as well) was much more dangerous than the thing he just killed.

>>280888796
The wind god was said to be mercurial, but yeah I too got the feeling it was outclassed and dipped. Whoever or whatever the Moon Presence targets seems to make the person utterly unpalatable to other entities. Man I fucking love this series.

>>280888869
It's the only Japanese one at least that I can think of that doesn't do the "gods are born/powered by faith" thing. The fact the gods preexist and that the strongest among them (like the wind god) can even ignore the bindings of faith really make it feel like those ancient religions that sacrificed people had a reason behind their existence.

>>280889217
Well, a few of these things aren't gods, they're a tier above. For example, Gerai the Anglerfish was brought down by land descent, but it failed because he was too powerful. Gerai then proceeded to consume everyone in town AND the local gods, and turn the area into his personal hunting ground. Wind God was probably powerful enough to fend off most threats from his land, but couldn't stand up to a true Great One. Compare this to the mirror entity or the stalker entity they had to use soul separation for. Spirits, gods, Great Ones.

>>280888869
I dont think Inubousaki and her nephew are cursed by the Moon Presence but rather something else entirely since birth that would cause her to be scolded for the most part avoided by her family then her nephew told not to be like her. Does the Wind God really fear the Moon Presence if it can so easily gobble up its spawn and rest while the Moon takes over the land?

>>280890066
>Does the Wind God really fear the Moon Presence if it can so easily gobble up its spawn and rest while the Moon takes over the land?
It's the old trope of having a grueling close fight against a monster, only to realize said monster was a baby and its more powerful parent is on its way.

bumo for your dumpspam

thanks for the dump

>>280888139
Thanks for all your work Ura Baito's.

Nope, we don't like the idea of instant death via casual glances.

People and plants are one thing since they are all alive. But the fact that completely inaninmate objects also "avert their gaze" is interesting.

>>280893610
In Japan they have a belief that after a certain number of years even inanimate objects gain a soul. Though kid's scooters would hardly be old enough for that, so maybe it's something else in play.

What is Land Descent again?
>>280888741
What is the presence again?

>>280893710
>Though kid's scooters would hardly be old enough for that
Yeah, the Jizo statues I'd understand since those could be old enough. But the scooters or even the little bauble on the counter should all be too young.

>>280894215
>What is Land Descent again?
The act of binding a spirit or god to a particular location. If there's a local God they might also be helpful in keeping the bound spirit in check but at least in the Anglerfish' case it wound up supplanting the previous god of the area.
>What is the presence again?
The thing that took Asama's sister. I'm not really sure of it's true nature but it only seems to target people with spiritual sight and once it does it starts an aggressive possession of the target leading to an eventual consumption.

I should really pick this back up again.

Remember to always talk with the suspicious busty lady in the park.

>>280893710
Considering some of the plants fell like a crop circle, I think the Nodzuchi's gaze works like a mallet: it falls down on an area, causing objects to topple and living beings to turn away to avoid it.

>>280887124
I look like that.
