Fucking Coward

>>281962643
What is even happening?

>>281962668
DE-HAND-PITATION!

>>281962661
Finish reading the page before you post.

>>281962802
And done
>Inb4 Tokio hesitates at the final moment because sudden "Cabirol was mean to him" flashback flashes by, resulting in Sankek dying

>>281962828
Woah

>>281962828
P. cool chapter. Sad Sora fucking died.

Character stats of this chappie

super nue is such a fakeout villain

>>281962220 (OP)
using this when twitter dies

pajama aura....

argumental spouse before domestic incident

>>281962576
>>281962608
How about you just fly into the nue at full speed and pierce its heart the moment it's immobilized instead of just standing there and explaining how your powers work

What killed the hype?

>>281963258
he was there all the time, waiting for his moment, just like Sato

>>281965022
nta but doesn't change the fact he's an F-tier character

>>281965087
yeah but they had to get rid of him anyways, his departure with Batista makes sense

>>281963258
No, he's fun. He is extremely hateable, he loves bragging, his existence was long foreshadowed and his powers are over the top. He is the ideal final boss for this arc because he's the perfect opponent for Tokio to go all out.

>>281962643
I can see her nipple.

>>281965140
That doesn't change the fact that he's not a good character nor an investing villain/boss fight (that title still goes to HEARTista)
You look at that fight and only want it to get it over with in favor of actual interesting characters/events

>>281962643
>one of her thoughts is that prophecies ruined her life
Damn

>>281962496
Now you realize Sora could easily wreck the entire Yamato forces but held back because this power is only for slaying villains.
Wonder if Tokio will learn it by the end.

>>281962576
So it is like a kaleidoscope. Eventually if the right sides align, you *may* be able to act.

>>281965462
I wonder what the fuck even led to the development of this power
>inb4 Sora played a tabletop game when she was small

I don't remember - why was her crown shattered? And will Tokio get a crown of his own?

Also in this weakened state Sora was still a menace. Imagine how strong young Sora was, before the drugs and the prophecies..

>>281965539
She lost half the crown when Batista stole the Mark, it's been this way ever since. I dunno if Tokio only gets the naginata choujin slayer or not, but since this is Sora's last gambit, she probably indeed transferred her remaining powers to him.

This chapter makes it painfully obvious she went super easy on Yamato Mori and could easily retake the organization if she wanted. Nobody could lift a finger against her.

I wonder how ishida will handle sora dying and tokio/azuma living.

>>281965631
As long as the Mark persists, it doesn't matter.
Bottom line, Zombie Tokio.

I love the fact Tokio appeared to like Zora and Zora herself also liked Tokio. I just hope the next chapter won't start with a Kaneki nugget panel.

>>281962643
Sora's perky nips...

>>281965947
She is dying, anon...

>I just hope the next chapter won't start with a Kaneki nugget panel.
It's not beating the sheer comedy of Kaneki's panel

>>281965191
Well yeah, that's the purpose of Nue, to start new events.

is the series good?
i was really excited for it when it came out but quickly got disinterested

>>281965178
fakeout as in he's not the final boss of the arc or an actual threat, ishida made him goofy so that he's a kind of innocuous segue to the actual calamity

>>281966472
It's obvious that he's not the Calamity, but he's a perfect final boss for this particular arc. Motherfucker has a Nue themed border around his megalomaniacal title, how can anyone hate this.

>>281966487

>>281966230
Former tg reader or not? I presume the former so
>Don't expect the same tone as TG (CX is lighter in tone)
>Ishida changed his storytelling style from tg; if TG was subjective with Ishida putting bits of himself in characters, CX is more from an outsider's pov (so if you find some moments not really as engaging/raw/rather sanitized in comparison to tg that's probably why)
>Slow start (prologue is 24 chapters... 4 volumes in) people would say it picks up around chapter 19 (volume 3); biggest filter would be chapter 2 due to tonal whiplash from chapter 1
>Main trio is pretty great
>Side cast is more compact than tg's, but tg's side cast still mogs it; aside from a few exceptions, the side cast of cx is either cool but popping in once in a blue moon (such as Ume and Ricardo), is there but you feel like making fun at the fans of said character for hoping because the character barely does anything (Simon...), or you wonder if Ishida forgot about them after their arc (Shiozaki during New Years Pic); kinda sucks if you wanna do any written content/analysis on side characters because you barely got any material to go with
>Aside from Sora, Batista (and maybe Hume depending on his story goes, especially since he wildcard now rather than villain) the villains roster of the main faction is kinda eh,
> World-building is better than tg's, though you might need to read the omake to fully appreciate it (weeb central has the volume versions of V1-9 and should update V10 contents in december probably)
>Art is done by him alone no assistants so expect some uncanny valley 3D assets standing out when you read, but ignoring that you get some good shit
>Schedule is irregular but this year Ishida is trying to go biweekly (thank god his weekly chapter chops from last year sucked, barely anything to digest)
>You may notice the .1 numbering, that's because Ishida releases chapters in parts (which will be united in volume version)
In the end it all depends on you and your taste

>>281966487
I find it interesting it is the only thing in the setting that has no redeeming features.

>>281964694
There was never any hype whatsoever. CX reads like Naruto fanfiction from the mid 00s.

>>281966472
>"Ah thank God we beat Nue! I'll all ov-"
>Suddenly Flare Death (yes the video game character) gets the drop on them
yfw?

nue feels like a bit of a manchild rather than a terrifying villain
maybe its just the translation job

>>281966644
He is rather blah in og too
>HAHAHAHA PAWAAAAA!!!!

>>281966569
That's because he's a pure desire, not a person. People are complicated. He's just a blob of negative emotions.

>>281966644
Nah, he's specifically written like this.

>>281962633
>vagina bones
AIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE

>>281965631
Elly is probably going to get the mark

Was Queem another X?

I think Sandek will die here too, probably by taking Batista's heart out. Tokio will be the only survivor again.

>>281966872
He's literally used the first example in the lineup

>>281966644
you know how did a way better job with a similar character?

Ryoko Kui, from Dungeon Meshi. I loved the Winged Lion, but he was far more developed. Although I don't mind Nue being the final boss of this arc before the Calamity begins ngl, I'm more than satisfied with Batista arc.

>how did
who*

sorry

>>281966906
They are completely different characters beyond being a living concept. Nue survives through the most selfish and dark emotions, Lion manipulates the most noble and pure.

>>281964694
Bro this chappy they stood in the air, threw out some moves and got nuh-uhd instantly
It wasn't very dynamic

>>281967111
Are there any manga like this where characters don't stop to literally explain what they're doing or seeing as it happens? A writer that's confident enough in their visual storytelling to just let that do the work instead of exposition?

>>281964694
pretty much everything about the writing after Palma joined the crew has gotten pretty generic shonen-y. not blaming Palma I like her, that's just around where in the plot I feel things started getting a lot more predictable going forward

>>281967297
>pretty much everything about the writing
>that's just around where in the plot I feel things started getting a lot more predictable going forward
Don't insult Queen Mcpreggers like that anon... no one saw THAT coming

>>281962576
Why is Tokio just standing around?

>>281967297
Horseshit. Palma's own arc and Tower has some of the best bits Ishida has ever written.

>>281962567
>>281962576
>>281962589
>tokio gets his opening
>doesn't attack
>szora exposition dumps about her move
>still doesn't attack
>nue evolves
>misses his opening
this was really lame man, this doesn't feel the same at all to the early chapters and fights

>>281967338
but the conclusion to the fight itself was predictable, eventual setup for something down the line be damned the story in the moment as a whole went nowhere, if it had immediate ramifications instead of "aaand Azuma's unconscious and out of the fight, written off until later" it would've been way more interesting and original.

>>281967412
>>281967469
>Sandek needs Tokio and Sora to cover for him so he can give the final blow (preserving power and everything)
>Tokio lagging
>Nue just offed Sora (their powerhouse) who could've given them their best opening
It's like the world wants Sandek to fail kek

>>281967482
Anon, he didn't forget what he is. It will have a lot of ramifications in the future.

>>281962633
He's on twitter right? Can someone request granny nudes on my behalf? I want to Sora in all her glory.

in all honesty it feels like Ishida's writing changed after he started working on Jack Jeanne 2
maybe he should take another big break, he might be burning himself out again

>>281967598
Rare that he didn't ask Mado for permission

>>281967898
we are reaching the final of the arc man, relax

>>281967898
After he started working on JJ2, he wrote Azuma's insane arc as well as Tokio's fantastic talk no jutsu. And this demispace arc has been extremely solid too.

holy shit tokio is useless

>>281962226
Pajama choujin.

>>281962245
Was Nue a choujin or an actual supernatural entity? I forgot.

>>281962633
Unexpected Sora fanservice.

>>281968926
A virus

>>281968926
An entity, but we don't know the origins. I suspect that it was initially a choujin's power that outlived the wielder.

>>281962417
>boss intro caption
No health bar? Damn gimmick bosses.

>>281962633
Sora's soras...

>>281969287
Needs a Storm Ruler.

>>281969287
It'll appear when our party member (Ely) does their scripted sequence and takes away his X inviolability.

>>281969550
Ely was sent away from the party anon...

Do you think Tokio can now pull a crown of thorns?

>>281969675
No because he's not tied to religion like Sora is (we've already seen how it went for Nuetista after her got his L'Oréal form, no crown)

>>281962226
got over

What voice should Nue even have? Male? Female? Both?

The pacing is too fast, something feels amiss here. There should be some follow up to Hume and Nue backstory before everything goes bonker.

>>281973263
Please understand, Sora is very dedicated to making Tokio Her 2.0 just to have the last word against a one-dimensional horseshoe crab

>>281969675
>>281969821
he's tied with Death, I expect a huge ass scythe

>>281973721
You're gonna get Tokio carrying around Sora's backscratcher from now on and you're gonna like it!

>>281973721
>fuses his own swords with Sora's, turning it into a scythe
pls Ishida

>>281962633
If Queem can impregnate himself can Sora do it too? That body is way too fertile to just be barren for over a century.

>>281974520
In Queem's case his true ability seems to be body modification. Sora just has a wide variety of other assorted powers, mostly bible themed.

I DARE Nue to use evil eye on Tokio. He will fuck around and he will find out.

>>281962576
Why the hell is this bitch explaining her attack to Nue so it can counter it and why are they doing literally fucking nothing while Nue is stunned?

>>281976296
Because it didn't get how it works. In fact it shouldn't have been able to use the big brain move but the CX mark simply let's it do it.
