Thread 281593145

Discuss the new chapter. What do you think of Jiji and Seiko's relationship?

>>281593145 (OP)
Seiko SEX

>>281593145 (OP)
I miss Turbo Granny and I hope she comes back soon.

>>281595296
Most recent volume bonus confirms she is looking for the hammer of Issun Boshi to help Momo.

>>281595296
>>281596314
I am behind on the last dozen or so chapters but I miss TG. I am glad to hear she is off doing something helpful and I hope to see her return soon!

>>281596437
I hope we get a fight scene of her kicking ass in her manekineko form.

>>281593145 (OP)
I think Jiji owes me lots of cuddles

>>281595296
I don't think I've ever seen a mascot character as popular as Turbo Granny. Third place after the protagonist and deuteragonist is pretty impressive.

>>281593145 (OP)
Tatsu fucking knows what he's doing with this Jiji x Baba ship tease. Put Vamola on Jiji's arms like that and the shippers would go insane.

>>281596622
Maybe he named him Jiji as a pun, since he'd literally be Momo's (step) jiji.

>>281596587
>Rokuro above Kingta
serpobros we're so back

>>281596587
It’s probably because she hasn’t been uWu about being the mascot. She’s a snarky hag and lives life like one. Imagine if they tried making a mascot out of Chiquita, total mess. Plus she’s paced out in appearances.

>>281596669
Rokuro rejecting the Serpo collective's views on Momo is an unironically excellent moment.

>>281596658
Jin means "compassion", I think he went for that and found a cute nickname too

>>281596587
>>281596710
It’s definitely this. Her bitchy and crude ways are what makes her cuter than actual cuteness IMO..

>>281596587
how is Okarun so much more popular than Momo? I think Momo is more entertaining to watch

>>281596969
All the manlets started inserting as him, with the hopes that they will slowly become cool and strong.

>>281596969
Boys reading a boys' magazine will tend to prefer the boy character.

>>281597052
oh don't be mean
>>281597061
I mean I'm glad because Okarun is a sweet kid, a good role model too for young boys, big improvement from MHA where Bakugou got more popular than Deku. However Momo is the better character and I can see many boys falling for her while finding her badass as well

>>281597247
Momo being second is proof of what a great character she is.

>>281597052
tom cruise is a manlet and he's cool as fuck

>>281598369
anon...he's a scie**ologist

>>281598399
I don't care what he is. He's cool and he's like 2 centimeters taller than me
but I'm ugly so... :(

>>281598369
Exactly, manlets self insert in hopes of becoming cool too and getting the hot girl etc.

>>281598424
you should...look on what that is...

Also I think he's handsome but a bit overrated

>>281598465
>you should...look on what that is...
I have. It's like some secret cult or some shit. It doesn't matter anyway
he could be the reincarnation of hitler and he would still be cool

>>281598497
it's worse. It's kind of an interesting read if you got time on your hands
>he's cool
you can be cool too, I believe in you!

>>281598613
>you can be cool too
well, I'm trying... I'm trying to be lean and finally see my abs for the first time in my life but belly fat is stubborn as fuck...
but I will not give up

>>281598643
coolness is much more than your physique, it's about soul. Be bold, be kind a little chub is always cute too. Kinta is chubby and he's super cool

MHA people still mad Okarun is Deku done right?

>>281598709
but I want to have abs too. It doesn't matter anyway. I can't even talk to women, abs or not...

>>281598745
He's a bit of a Gary Stu later in the manga.
Tatsu seemed to notice and brought back his schizo rants in one of Momo's flashbacks.

>>281598745
You are actually really right about that

>>281598745
Aside from them both being "soft boys" I'm not sure I see the resemblance, but yes Okarun is better.

>>281598861
it's fine if you'd like to have them, but that's not what matters the most. Your confidence won't come all from physique...shoot your shot with a girl who seems like the most nice to you, ask her a random thing (not what hour is it) and if it goes wrong you lost nothing, you just tried something you never did before, and can try that again. If you don't start, you'll never master it, anon. I believe in you, you sound like a sweet, shy guy, that is not a bad thing

>>281598745
different characters. As absurd as it sounds, Jiji is more like Deku than Okarun

>>281599073
Different is that Deku is an absolute cuck while Jiji could dick down any girl he wanted if he got serious for a second, since he already makes all of them wet by his mere presence. Only exception being, ironically, his oneitis.

>>281599168
Deku is pretty cute, won't be as popular as Jiji but girls would like to be with him, it's not unrealistic since he's sort of beefy too now
Also
>Jiji could dick down any girl he wanted
you guys still don't understand what kind of guy Jiji is if you say this. It's not about being serious, it's his nature

>>281599290
That's the point though, he won't, he's too much of a cinnamon roll, but he easily could.

>>281599448
>>281599168
Deku would have his same exact success but with guys

Momo on the front page!

>>281599968
:D

Why are all the girls in this show gremlins?

>>281598745
mhaQUEERS are going to die knowing their pathetic MC held down his own story. For Christ's sake, how do you get outshined by your bully for a decade? Lol

>>281600753
>woodchipper noises

>>281597052
But I'm 6'3" and I think Okarun rules

>>281600753
>okarun saw this and immediately thought "cute!"
We dunk on Momo's severe obsessive love for him but he's not exactly far behind her

>>281601304
He thinks every part of her is cute. He is hopeless.

>>281601470
>He is hopeless.
They both are. It's really sweet.

>>281601562
They really are and it really is.

>>281601576
She's so cute.

>>281601576
The way she adjusts her hair to make sure she looks good for him is so precious.

>>281596587
>otaku selfintrest 1st
main cast is THAT dull?

>>281601823
Okarun is based.

>>281600753
because girls are at their cutest when they're almost retarded

>>281601304
ywn understand the true love of finding a girl cute no matter what she says or does purely because she's the girl for you

>>281601823
All of the other guys are hardly featured in the story and none of them have girls chasing after them, whereas it’s the opposite for Okarun, he’s almost always featured and every new girl that gets introduced wants his dick. It’s very obvious that he’s the self insert for the author.

>>281601914
It really is magical how everything a person does can become lovely when you love them.

The webm that saved /a/

>>281601967
What makes Okarun different compared to other self-inserts is that he is a nerd that actually puts effort into improving himself. He goes out of his way to physically improve himself and get out of his shell. Aira tried to bully him first until she got to see his good qualities which made her go dere for him and Vamola was amazed at how strong he was and thought that based on how she was brought up, that he was destined to be her husband. In the latest chapters his physical efforts resulted in him being noticed by other girls in the school. It's the same as in real life. Get out of the basement, lift, and learn to socialize while not compromising on what you like.

If he didn't chance upon Momo, who is autistic as he is about the subject she likes, he would have stayed the same human paperweight that would be kicked around in life. But hey, how many men changed because of a woman?

>>281604903
>What makes Okarun different compared to other self-inserts is that he is a nerd that actually puts effort into improving himself.
Sounds literally the same as every other self insert MC, you really think Okarun training to get stronger is some unique concept in anime?

>>281593145 (OP)
4 more chapters until this arc is over.

>>281605151
A lot of MCs do the bare minimum and are rewarded for being nice guys. Okarun earned all the pussy on him. How many stories have a guy start from zero and go to hero and get the chick in the end for their troubles? One of the basic tropes in writing.

>>281605476
>A lot of MCs do the bare minimum and are rewarded for being nice guys.
Literally the same as Okarun. The kid a few situps and curls and had a generic “training” arc that required for him to dance to get stronger. Let’s not mention that he was gifted the strongest yokai for powers btw
>Okarun earned all the pussy on him.
He didn’t earn anything, especially when it comes to Momo, she wanted his dick solely for his name

>Jiji is not a jober anymore
>That means he will not start dating Momo
I don't get that logic, especially when the manga and the anime even more, so is pushing for Okarun and Momo pretty hard since the beginning.

>>281605593
>He didn’t earn anything, especially when it comes to Momo, she wanted his dick solely for his name
How bad does your reading comprehension have to be for this to be your takeaway of the first chapter?

>>281605659
>>Jiji is not a jober anymore
Jiji never lost a fight he’s like 3-0 (I don’t consider EE vs Okarun 1&2 as “Jiji” fights)
Okarun will get with Momo because his purpose in the story is being everything she fantasized in a guy come to life. Jiji purpose is being the genius prodigy with unlimited potential.

>>281605659
They're so cute.

Consider: long hair Momo

>>281593145 (OP)
There is definitely more going on there than between him and Aira

>>281601967
>every new girl that gets introduced wants his dick
no they don't
vamola was following orders, she dropped okarun pretty quickly
rin is just horny as fuck for vampires, she dropped okarun immediately after she realized he wasn't one
cookie didn't even acknowledge him as an entity
It's just Momo (because he's quite literally the man of her dreams) and Aira (because she thinks she's the main character and okarun is her designated love interest). And Momo was in active denial about it for a while.

>>281608052
I said like a year ago that my theory was that Jiji and Seiko are actually married, around the time when Momo was a baby they both fought a yokai or maybe an alien that de-aged them. The yokai/alien made Seiko a woman in her early 30s and made Jiji a baby again like Momo and he lost his memory completely. When you study how Jiji shows his love towards Momo it’s more similar to how a father loves his daughter and not how a potential boyfriend loves his girlfriend.

>>281601967
>none of them have girls chasing after them
speedreadersister... jiji is repeatedly shown to have npcs after his goofy ass
the only reason why he gets away with having the evil eye possess him is because he's too hot for girls to think straight

>>281608578
>npcs
not real characters

>>281608511
Did Vamola and Rin chase after Okarun before stopping for plot reasons? Yes or No question.
Aira and Momo are still lusting for him.
Kouki is the only one that hasn’t chased Okarun, yet….

>>281593145 (OP)
It's actually very strange he always gets scenes with her. I'm not gonna lie.

>>281608593
>goalposts
The only one who doesn't get a crumb of pussy is Kinta, and that's because... he's Kinta.

>>281596969
Maybe lots of people thought like me. I voted for okarun because I knew Momo would be at the top so I wanted them to be at the top together.

>>281596969
Because she’s weaker as a protagonist and doesn’t have much going on.

>>281608855
This. Momo as character is very one dimensional and she revolves solely around Okarun, but with Okarun he at least revolves around the entire group.

>>281596969
>how is Okarun so much more popular than Momo?
Momo is too forgiving. She refuses to kill objectively evil bastards.
Okarun on the other hand beneath the nerd facade is a cold blooded killer. Surviving Okarun is a matter of tanking him, not a matter of him being a typical MC who forgives.

>>281607664
Momo is a goober for different reasons
Ken is also a Goober
Together they are both goofy goobers.

>>281608578
>jiji is repeatedly shown to have npcs after his goofy ass
See this >>281608593
plus npc girls haven’t shown intrest in Jiji since his character debut, Jiji might as well have a design like Kinta since they both get zero action with girls, ones that are actual characters to be specific

>>281596587
I have a theory, there are a suprsing amount of women who reads it and they like okarun.

>>281593145 (OP)
I dont think about it

>>281609919
Jiji is insanely hot, I'm saying this with a little envy as well, so for girls not giving him attention is just something that hasn't been shown much to focus on other plot points, also, his oneitis.

>>281612467
It's still been shown a few times.
Evil Eye got Aira's friends to talk to her by... restraining them and ordering them to, while both of them were blushing and wetting themselves.
Any other character tries that and would be scary.

>>281609085
Momo Takakura

we're not seeing Vamola until 2027...

>>281613566
Seems like the kind of thing Momo would write in her notebook with hearts around it.

>>281613568
Good I hate that ugly alien

>>281614586
How dare you, she is CUTE

>>281614586
Vamola is pure

>>281609085
I wonder how much time did he spend drawing this.

>>281609085
ROCK!

>>281615277
Would Momo wear the maid outfit in private with Okarun?

>>281617105
if he asks for it, sure

>>281617414
I think she'd do it as a surprise on his birthday or something.

>>281615982
He's said he spends time redrawing Momo if he hasn't made her sufficiently cute so it could've been a while.

She's coming.

>>281618894
no she isn't. We're ending this EE arc in episode 10. Only 2 episodes aren't enough for the Kaiju fight sadly..

>>281619344
EE arc ends next episode. It's entitled "You Can Do It, Okarun!" That's the chapter when Okarun challenges Evil Eye. Maybe there's a wrapup in the episode after but even then that's episode 9/12. 3 episodes for the kaiju fight is enough.

>>281609085
It's cool to show this to kids, that it's still just drawing in the end. I bet lots of people imagine some guy at a desk with a drawing tablet and photoshop doing occult things with the software

>>281620959
a lot of mangakas do that too
but I imagine if you can draw well on a tablet, you can draw well on paper too
I think it's a little different going from paper to digital but you won't lose your skills, you just have to get used to the drawing tablet

>>281617105
Outfit comes out in the nights when she uses his real name

KIMI NI MUCCHU-UH EEHH

>>281621185
Imagine Okarun forcing Momo to say his real name while he fucks her. She'd cum like a typhoon.

>>281596969
while obnoxious girlbosses like momo are common in the west, it's a surprising unwelcome novelty in japan
>well akshually she only looks that at first glance if you-
in popularity polls only first impressions matter because 50% of the voters don't even read that series and are fan of some other series but still send the vote

>>281605476
You really need to lay off the video essay propaganda if you really believe this crap before it's too late.
Next you will probably tell me madoka is a deconstruction or some bullshit of the sort.

>>281621979
NTA but Madoka IS a deconstruction, first one of its genre

>>281622058
it does nothing that magical girl stuff wasn't already doing, including "akshually a girl fighting is fucking gruesome and grim" and all that jazz
lay off the jewtube brainwashing bro

>>281621835
More in character for Momo to force him to say his real name mid-way, with the same end result. Unless it turns out the meek otaku is dominant in bed while the loudmouthed gyaru is submissive, which would be kino.

>>281596470
I'm really not ready for next episode's bromantic arc swan song, bros

>>281622319
Their relationship is definitely femdom in the streets, maledom in the sheets. Momo likes it when he takes charge.

>>281622388
She probably got a bit wet there from him yelling at her.

>>281614586
Kill yourself

Will Aira ever fully get over Okarun when he rejects her? Her side of the love triangle seems to get ignored by the fandom and only the Jiji side gets discussed, even though in canon Aira attempts to steal Okarun way more than Jiji does with Momo.

>>281622527
it's more like nobody cares

>>281622527
>Her side of the love triangle seems to get ignored by the fandom and only the Jiji side gets discussed, even though in canon Aira attempts to steal Okarun way more than Jiji does with Momo.
That's because NTR by men is more hated than NTR by women.

>>281622388
it won't be as bad as Jiji's rejection but I am curious how she's going to handle it. I can see Aira being more respectful and dignified and trying to understand why she fell in love with Okarun in the first place. Jiji will trigger something within his powers, we're getting an Okarun vs Jiji/EE final showdown most likely
>the fandom and only the Jiji side gets discussed, even though in canon Aira attempts to steal Okarun way more than Jiji does with Momo
people are more obsessed with male rivalry than female rivalry, they love seeing boys fighting over a girl like we were in the 1800...It's kind of Tatsu's fault as well tho, he never took Aira's crush seriously, even if she truly is in love

>>281622388
srry
>>281622895 is meant for >>281622527
>>281622527

>>281622746
But why do they care more about the Jiji side of the love triangle when the story puts less emphasis on it than the Aira side?

Jiji has even had positive chemistry with girls (Vamola, Seiko, Miko, Muko) that could be foreshadowed as potential ship partners for him after the Momo rejection but Okarun is still the only guy that Aira has had positive chemistry with so far.

>>281622231
Kyubey was definitely something new. Anyway, name three that came out before Madoka. Sailor Moon doesn't count

>>281622527
>Her side of the love triangle seems to get ignored by the fandom and only the Jiji side gets discussed
That's simple:
Okarun has NOWAYFAG'd her so many times that it doesn't register anymore. Aira could quite literally bury his face on her tits and he would simply NOWAYFAG her again. Aira is not there narratively to take Okarun's heart (even though she wants to), Aira is there narratively to piss off Momo's territorial ass.
Jiji hasn't been direct at all about how he feels and Momo is in denial about it "oh I'm an important FRIEND to him!", so there's more tension in this one, because there hasn't been a resolution. And that's because, unlike Aira, Jiji most likely can take no for an answer, so the moment Momo tells him off, he'll drop it.

>>281623018
Jiji's rejection will be pretty ugly later on, I don't think he'll take it well but he'll fake it at first. I can see Aira overcoming her crush better since it's a little more shallow, but there's something deeper about her love

>>281622895
>he never took Aira's crush seriously
To be fair, look at it from Okarun's perspective
>constantly bullied and marginalized
>often the butt of jokes
>pretty mean bitch starts complimenting him but then she shittalks him behind his back (Momo confirmed it to him)
>same pretty mean bitch confesses her love two days later unprompted
I wouldn't be surprised if he thought Aira's confession was a ploy to bully him again for a while, and by the time he realized she was actually genuinely thirsty for him, Momo and him had become each other's oneitis.

>>281599290
>Deku is pretty cute
For homos like you.

>>281622957
because people are more sensitive to NTR
they don't care about a side heroine trying to steal MC from the main heroine but they care about the possibility of a more attractive male trying to steal main heroine from MC

>>281623018
>so there's more tension in this one
Based on what though? Momo never even acknowledges that Jiji is attractive and never blushes at anything he does, Okarun at least states the obvious that he finds Aira attractive physically and blushes at her flirt attempts while he still rejects them.

>>281623151
I always thought the opposite, Jiji seems to have his suspicions about Momo's love for Okarun and seemed to at least partially internalize it (probably why Zuma got him red in the face, he seemed to not want to think of himself as a boyfriend), plus Evil Eye is not evil anymore, considering how protective he's of his new family, while Aira seems legit clueless about Okarun's love for Momo. Aira seems to be the one who'd fake being okay but bawl her eyes about it in private, while Jiji acknowledges he loves Momo but is legit happy about the couple even if it stings him a bit.

>>281623263
>Based on what though?
Lack of resolution. Until feelings are made clear, anything goes. There's a 0.001% chance of Jiji winning over Momo, but that's infinitely higher than Aira's 0% chance of winning over Ken

>>281623330
>probably why Zuma got him red in the face, he seemed to not want to think of himself as a boyfriend)
This. Most people think Jiji turned red from embarrassment when Zuma said that but he clearly turned red from anger, Jiji knows that he lost Momo already (I think he figured it out in the chapter when he walked Momo to school and asked her if she had a crush on someone) I don’t think a Momo rejection is going to happen because a Jiji confession won’t happen for her to reject.

>>281623206
so?

>>281593145 (OP)
Jiji will soon be Momo's Jiji

>>281623330
>Aira seems to be the one who'd fake being okay but bawl her eyes about it in private, while Jiji acknowledges he loves Momo but is legit happy about the couple even if it stings him a bit.
opposite. Aira will hurt inside, but she'll reflect on it. Jiji will hurt the most because he lost the girl he was always in love with since childhood but was too dumb to confess to. Just because he knows Okarun is a rival, it doesn't mean it will hurt less
>>281623330
>>281623900
also you're both wrong. Jiji is trying to become more assertive since the Kouki arc, he got red with Zuma because Zuma exposed his feelings he's not mature enough to confess yet, it's that simple
>not want to think himself as a boyfriend
he was embarassed to be aknowledged as clingy and jealous, which is Ironically the kind of boyfriend he'd be for Momo, so he told Zuma off

>>281624165
>he was embarassed
He wasn’t though, he was clearly angry. Vamola even said that Jiji was angry and not embarrassed. Jiji has been saying “precious” and not love for a reason, he’s trying to keep himself in the friend zone because he’s aware that Momo has fallen for Okarun already, it’s just not officially confirmed yet for the reader because Tatsu wants to keep the fake drama alive for the Jiji and Momo interactions.

>>281624165
>jealous
And this is why Jiji x Momo could never ever be, Momo's already brutally jealous of any woman getting too close to Okarun and the only reason they work is that Okarun himself doesn't have that issue and she'll get over it. A mutually jealous couple would break up quick.

imagine a Jiji bf super jealous of you

>>281624319
So... Jiji is male Momo.
Fujos will absolutely love this info.

>>281622957
>>281623241
Especially when the attractive male is also set up as being openly best friends with the MC.

>>281622957
forced love triangles (or even full blown geometry) with multiple femoids on a single guy where the first girl wins anyway is so common it's borderline expected
to the degree this is why the battle harem LN genre died in the first place, because it's just fucking stale and never goes anywhere 99% of the time because the writer loves milking the "will they won't they" with the MC and the main girl, which mind you already started happening here as of the board game arc's ending
hell just look at how the conversation flows, we already know momo is going to win, it's a matter of how aira is gonna lose and how will she take it, it's so trite and expected people don't event take vamola seriously on this conversation
on the other hand a love triangle where two guys fight for a girl is far less common and thus more notable

>>281624315
anon...he was angry because Zuma embarassed him, the two things can choexist. Jiji was mad he wasn't called last mission because "his woman" got in danger and because he understood that if he lets Okarun and Momo be too close alone all the time, it'd be too late to confess (it already is alas) so he's catching up quickly, he wants Momo to rely on him. He quickly jumped abroad for the trip without a second thought as well because he wants to be near her. Trust me, it's that simple. Maybe he won't exactly confess, but the poor guy still thinks will have a chance until he sees Okarun and Momo as a thing officially

>>281622990
Did you forget precure exists or something.
Also cardcaptor sakura.

>>281624350
Jiji is the emotions drived version of Momo

>>281624521
>the emotions drived version of Momo
thats just momo

>>281624503
and I am brainwashed...you just sound contrarian

Madoka doesn't just show that magical girling is dangerous, it outright demonizes it as a mean for an evil alien race to do shady stuff, none of that is done in Sakura or expecially in Precure, where the girls' mission to protect the world is never questioned, expecially for early precure.

Madoka was a first in the genre

>>281624599
>none of that is done in Sakura or expecially in Precure,
You really need to actually watch anime instead of video essays dude.

>>281624521
that's literally just momo
she would have done the same for the evil eye had she been possessed instead of jiji

>>281624541
Jiji is more emotional, he's a feeler that can occasionally be more serious under pressure. Momo is emotion driven too, but she's more rational and ultimately a thinker, most of the time, while Jiji always does what his heart says. He's more open about his feelings as well

It's pretty nice having the guy as the more emotional one

>>281624630
I watched both, point me out where Precure or Cardcaptor demonize the magical girl mission

>>281624319
>Okarun himself doesn't have that issue
Okarun does have jealousy issues, he just internalizes it. He was jealous for many chapters when Jiji first showed up and didn’t stop being jealous until he heard the Taro speech. Plus it helps that Momo pretends other guys don’t exist. If Momo suddenly started entertaining Jiji as a potential bf he would get jealous again.

Enough. Jiji is male Minorin

Unrelated but I'm surprised looking at retrospect how much of the ironic weeb discourse the last 2 decades have just been arguing like gossiping high school kids over which girl the MC will end up dating.
Not even fucking, just dating.
And I only realized this because the discourse it's borderline identical to the shinji-asuka-rei love triangle once kaworu got introduced, forced homoerotic okaru-jiji sentiment included.

>>281624912
Kaworu was Shinji's one, author didn't have the balls to go through with it. Can't really say the same about OkaJiji

>>281624912
>arguing like gossiping high school kids over which girl the MC will end up dating.
This is and always has been the shoujo equivalent of powerscaling, and Dandadan being a shoujo larping as a shounen makes it natural for the fans, especially women, to engage in lovescaling. Notice how there's barely any powerscaling in comparison.

>>281625059
i feel like powerscaling just is dying in general thanks to jeetkaisen and cheinsotards
cant even blame DBSpics for that one when even they admit toriyama was kinda shit at keeping powerscaling consistent despite being the one that introduced powerlevels as numbers to shounen to try make shit consistent

>if you don't forcefully use the verb "to fuck" everytime you envision a girl and a boy in love you're a kid
I think kids are more used to use bad words to sound edgy. Besides, romance is the main point of discussion because this manga is very romance heavy itself, more than Evangelion

>>281625122
you're still a gossiping high school girl either way for arguing about this
cope

>>281625143
eh whatev, don't see much wrong with it.
Propose something to discuss about moron, or gtfo

>>281625187
IMO that is also part of the problem.
Once okarun got his balls back and lost turbogranny's powers (after getting two massive powerups no less) the series just lost steam entirely.
This entire arc legitimately feels like filler, especially when it's literally just to delay okarun confessing to momo.

>>281625059
>Dandadan being a shoujo larping as a shounen
It started out as very much a shounen, Tatsu slowly shoujofied it after it was clear it wasn't going to get the axe, by the time Zuma was introduced it was completely shoujofied.

>>281624483
>Jiji was mad he wasn't called last mission because "his woman"
He wasn’t mad and he never said “his woman”.
>He quickly jumped abroad for the trip without a second thought as well because he wants to be near her
Literally everybody wanted to go on the trip with Momo. Jiji had already left to pack his luggage when Kinta showed up about the news that Kouki was in trouble at the school, Jiji most likely stays behind to help Aira if he’s there.
>but the poor guy still thinks will have a chance
He doesn’t think he has chance, he’s over Momo already, he flirted with girls multiple times in front of Momo after the EE arc and didn’t even try anything when they slept together in chapter 92.

>>281625240
we can theorize about Yokais or aliens, DDD does have some worldbuilding, albeit not very well explored, to prioritize romance. Anon just isn't creative enough himself and got lazy complaining like an old man
>>281625059
back this winter we had an obnoxious amount of powerscaling fags, expecially when Jiji showed up. Romance at least is more entertaining and brings drama

>>281625343
>albeit not very well explored,
That is also another problem.
Exploring the worldbuilding is not gonna happen and we both know this.
It's seemingly the curse of modern shounen due to prioritizing attach rate with an audience of tiktok kids, there's no time for worldbuilding when we could rush to the next fight or NTRbait scene instead.
To this day st germain still feels like a fucking rando with no real lore despite his reveal with that name (and turbogranny seething about him) being one of the most interesting things to happen to the manga since vamola's introduction and her lore implications.

>>281625298
>He doesn’t think he has chance
he's known ever since picrel
>he’s over Momo already
I don't think that's true, he's definitely not over her, but he also knows she doesn't reciprocate

>>281593145 (OP)
Manga should end with Jiji proposing to Seiko and bagging that dried up infertile hag pussy.

>>281625343
>Romance at least is more entertaining and brings drama
i would rather have powerscaling jeets than romance femoids self inserting as either aira or momo and arguing from that stance

>>281625240
>This entire arc legitimately feels like filler, especially when it's literally just to delay okarun confessing to momo
Because it is. They would be official already if it weren't for the anime, but anime onlies getting spoiled about the relationship scared Tatsu so he came up with the "they're not official but they're a couple now, just need to solve a tiny little problem" compromise. They will not be together until after Vamola cucks Momo in the anime.

>>281625404
The manga is a little slow paced because it is serialized, Tatsu is saving this for later to keep fans reading. I do agree that not much is done with the other interesting concepts of the show however, worldbuilding is minimal for a manga about ghosts AND aliens, something never done before. The knives arc and the typhoon felt like a drag too

>>281625506
>They will not be together until after Vamola cucks Momo in the anime.
This is why Tatsu gave the curse a time limit by the way, to comfirm it will be solved this arc, which will end after the S2 of the anime

>>281623968
>>281625440
99% of the fandom is still in denial about Jiji x Seiko being a possibility and most likely a reality. There’s been no fanart for them after these few chapters but if you replace Jiji with any other guy (including Okarun) or Seiko with another girl (including Momo) the ship art would be endless.

>>281625494
powerscaling is retarded and useless, romance creates new dynamics between characters. You're just easily irritable, this coming from someone who doesn't read or watch romcoms

>>281625568
Even the name makes it obvious that Jiji x Baba is endgame
>Momo! I'm now your jiji, so you need to call me JijiJiji

>>281625512
there's a difference between filler and properly expanding the worldbuilding
vamola for all intents and purposes is a filler arc, but it did serve to expand the worldbuilding
this is straight up filler that will progress nothing, in fact it is stopping progress until season 2 ends
hell even some arcs like the otaku bitch with the dead friend is also filler but at least it progressed SOMETHING while also expanding the supernatural lore in the series
this is literally "thinly veiled mini fetish and ryona fetish filler arc"

>>281625606
Momo even called Seiko out on crushing on him at the start of the series

>>281625610
I never talked about filler anon nor I difended this arc. I agree, fillers should be for worldbuilding, this arc didn't do much of it, but you can argue we got introduced to the most dangerous member of the gang: Kouki. She got introduced through the knives arc just like Rin did before, the problem is that Tatsu dragged it for too long

>>281625440
Seiko's anti aging stat is maxxed so it would be hilarious if she were biologically in her early 20s.

>>281625748
She is basically a Tsunade-type

>>281626223
doesn't seem like it, she's on the brink of death and hasn't aged even a tiny little bit

>>281626293
In general, just sexy youthful hardheaded grandma.

>>281625610
>this is straight up filler that will progress nothing
How can you come to this conclusion when the arc isn’t finished? So far we got Hase and Kouki introduced as prominent characters, Kitos return, Jiji new form, EE character development, Okarun Ogre Club training, CSGs main objective being revealed etc The only way think you think this Arc is filler is if the only thing you care about is the MomoOkarun romance.

>>281625718
>Tatsu dragged it for too long
The anime might pull a FMAB and speed through this saga when they get here. "Tiny Momo season"

>>281626381
Hase and Kouki are frankly filler characters like the mechafag and even vamola.
All of them could vanish entirely and people would only slightly miss vamola.
The underground kikes are also a wasted appearance, using them for the typhoon was legitimately a waste because now their proper return would be expected like a generic villain, not one of the big bads they painted themselves as.

>>281626545
>Hase and Kouki are frankly filler characters
What if Hase becomes the love interest for Aira and Kouki the love interest for Jiji, would you still have this opinion? That alone would make them more important than Rin and Zuma who have eaten chunks of manga chapters but nobody calls them filler characters.

>>281626545
You don't know what the word filler means

>>281626844
>What if Hase becomes the love interest for Aira and Kouki the love interest for Jiji, would you still have this opinion?
Yes, because that would just turn the series from shoujo shit into full blown femoid shipping wars and ruin both aira and jiji.
It would not make the NPCs more important, it would NPCfy the few relevant characters this series still has.

>>281626990
>into full blown femoid shipping wars
How would it turn the series into shipping wars when it would confirm ships and not bait it?

>>281626990
>it would NPCfy the few relevant characters this series still has
No it wouldn’t. Whoever Jiji and Aira gets with (Jiji especially because he’s Okarun best friend) would only elevate their screen time and make them more important to the story. And the fandom would rejoice that they finally moved on from Momo and Okarun.

People are allowed to save and like their care takers.

>>281622895
>Jiji will trigger something within his powers, we're getting an Okarun vs Jiji/EE final showdown most likely
Reminds me of a possibility of last point in >>281381963 to test the mileage of their friendship since Tatsu never brought that up again

what the fuck was the csg again, i forgot

>>281629280
Count Saint Germain, (probably) the orchestrator.

>>281629283
oh i never abbreviate his name to that so it was tripping me over

>>281622895
>>281629027
Jiji and Okarun fighting each other over Momo does nothing for either character
>Okarun beats Jiji
Okay what’s the point of this? Other than to completely humiliate Jiji and satisfy Okarun self inserts
>Jiji beats Okarun
Okay what’s the point of this? It’s not like it will stop Momo from loving Okarun and pick Jiji
>It’s a tie
Okay what’s the point of this? It’s a complete waste of time when you could’ve just gave Jiji his best character development and have him take the mature approach and accept losing with Momo with grace

>>281629573
>Other than to completely humiliate Jiji and satisfy Okarun self inserts
that would be based tho, i have telenovela fatigue
men entertainment should be for men

>>281629769
Nah it would just prove Jijifags right that this series is nothing but revenge of the nerd wish fulfillment

>>281629878
>this series is nothing but revenge of the nerd wish fulfillment
and what would be wrong with that exactly?
it's shounenslop
i also have MUH DEPTH fatigue, especially when it only results on utter trash like JJK

Are jijicucks still believing Momo gonna choose them?

>>281629928
No. There’s not a single post in here that implies Jiji will be with Momo.

Why do people insist on acting like Okarun fighting the Evil Eye is equivalent to him fighting Jiji when every character always explicitly separates the two

>>281595296
Trust the plan.

>>281629928
Jijichads moved on to the superior Ayase months ago

>>281630180
Because it's gay to be such an obnoxious pedant. Same body, same character. Especially when Jiji doesn't seem to try to wrest control of his body back from EE

>>281631551
How is it pedantic to repeat what the story has established? The Evil Eye never acts on Jiji's desires or vice versa until they independently decide to cooperate because, again, they are two separate people

>>281605988
Jiji's end game will be to 1v1 CSG while Okarun and Momo charge up their ultimate combo attack

>>281631551
>it's pedantic to actually read the manga

>>281632377
That’s probably something Tatsu will do for the final boss of the series, which i don’t think CSG is. I think Momo, Okarun and TG will be the main trio that defeats CSG with TG dying at the end.

Aira desperately needs to get a power up, is she stronger than anybody in the group right now other than powerless Okarun? Or is it meant to be ironic that the “leader” is the weakest?

>>281633108
this is not dbz, bro
aira won't get anything else unless she fuses with another yokai and somehow it has a good compatibility with acrobatic silky
so no chance at all

>>281633771
Power creep exists in every Shonen. Characters need to constantly level up so they won’t be useless against stronger antagonists.

>>281596587
I don't think it's that surprising, she's a really popular real-life urban legend in Japan. She's not just some random wacky mascot they came up with.

>>281633854
I don’t get why this fandom acts like DDD isn’t a Shonen that follows generic Shonen tropes in terms of storytelling.

>>281596587
>I don't think I've ever seen a mascot character as popular as Turbo Granny.
So you’ve never heard of Pikachu

>>281633854
>>281633930
i never said dandadan isn't a shonen, I just don't think Aira is gonna get any power up

>>281633930
Because it does in some ways but it doesn't in other ways
The fights in this series are more about how effectively each character uses their power in a particular situation than getting a bigger number to hit the bad guy harder which is why it's not conducive to powerscaling autism

>>281633771
>unless she fuses with another yokai and somehow it has a good compatibility with acrobatic silky
A yokai with ice powers would be the best option.

>>281634070
> The fights in this series are more about how effectively each character uses their power in a particular situation than getting a bigger number to hit the bad guy harder
That sounds cool in theory but power scaling still applies in DDD because whoever has the more broken hax wins the fights, it’s no different than Jojo once they introduced Stands.

>>281633930
because at this point they only read for the telenovela bullshit

>>281634070
Anon, we are well past into the "nuh huh, if I concentrate hard enough your powers don't affect me and I get to use my limited-use powers an extra time" point.

don't listen to him. learn how be toned now, you will have time to be chubby later

>>281605916
All he did was be nice to her, try (and fail) to stop the aliens from raping her and then give her his jacket so she didn't walk naked.

Those things aren't special. Anyone in his situation would've done the same.
>>281622058
Madoka is not a deconstruction because deconstruction is not a creative process. Deconstruction doesn't create anime, manga or sitcoms.

Retards online use the word 'deconstruction' to make their shitty sound more intellectual and important than they really are.

>>281629878
That would be even Whittier writing because Jiji has never been mean to Okarun.

>>281624772
>he's going to self-sabotage himself because he ultimately doesn't have enough enough self-esteem to actually pursue the person he likes
Jijibros...

>>281625255
Tha car scene with Momo playfully teasing Okarun's hand was 100 % shoujo shit. When Aira is being cute she's basically a magical girl character.

The series was always shoujo in essence.

>>281637858
That was part of the shoujoification, but the first 10 chapters or so were quite shounen.

>>281638073
>Momo becomes jealous of Aira after a misunderstanding
>Jiji shows up and Okarun becomes jealous of him
You're in denial. It was always that way.

>>281638109
Both of which happened AFTER the first 10 chapters. Tatsu only really did it after he got confident the manga wasn't going to get canned and he started turning it into what he wanted it to be: a battle shoujo

>>281629769
It would be utter cringe

>>281629573
>Jiji and Okarun fighting each other over Momo does nothing for either character
Most importantly, it would be repetitive.
Okarun already fought the Evil Eye twice over Jiji, that fight was done a hundred chapters ago.
The correct approach is Jiji figuring it out by himself and telling Momo to stop being a pussy like he was, otherwise she'll lose Okarun like Jiji lost her.

>>281638179
Based Tatsu

>>281637774
yeah a jiji vs okarun fight would go against both of their characters, it would be like okarun telling momo he's dating her exbf

>>281593145 (OP)
we dont care

When will you retards learn that there is no love triangle? Okarun is only interested in Momo. Momo is only interested in Okarun. All other attraction involving them is entirely one-sided.

>>281637038
Sounds good. He has a lot of range, so he should be able to give Kinta's more serious scenes the weight (lol) they deserve.

>>281641389
People are still traumatized by MHA's shipping wars.
On top of that, Okarun's status in the story is similar to Deku's, and Deku gets cucked. So there's still a chance nothing happens.

Kinta is garbage

>>281596453
actions are cool

>>281624772

>>281651826
Valid point. I definitely pushed it too far for realism. The gremlin things are correct though. Women are gremlins a lot.
