I think I reordered the pages right.
>>291930379Seems about rightTy OP. Now we wait for transanon
>>291930409Give me half an hour or something>transanonbro...
>>291930409That doesn't seem like quite the right name imo.
Used Google TL and desu it seems like a pretty nice chapter pretty much an overview leading us up to the start of December and there's been no blades deployed which we kinda knew from last week if the TL is accurate enough. They suffered a setback so it seems like the first forged blade isn't coming till at least next chapter bare minimum. Also all NTR theories died tonight. I'm guessing we have 2-3 more volumes of the seitei war at most assuming the blades deployment isn't something that takes overly long.
I haven't seen jump treat a popular series with this much scorn since kimetsu

For Chiaki's sake, we could do anything. No... you'd do more than me.>Kunishige thoughts: The ones worthy of wielding great power aren't people like us, but those who hesitate and can stop themselves.>Kunishige thoughts: Those who don't hesitate are strong. But at the same time, they're also dangerous.>>291930299>March 30th.

Facial hair's good.>Kunishige: Chiaki isn't a fan.>December.>Subaru: It's about time.>Narration: We've already sent out a prototype. Heading towards the real deal, they entered the final stages of preparation for swordsmithing. >>291930331>Giyu: You're to guard Yagiratei. >Akemura: But.>Giyu: In the worst case, who will protect your sister?>Akemura thoughts: I still don't know the battlefield. I've just been kept here.>Akemura: To protect Nee-san...>Akemura thoughts: Nee-san suffered nightmares every night since the war began. >Akemura thoughts: Tragic dreams fell upon her with no stop to them, and she grew exhausted as she started to fear sleeping.>Akemura thoughts: But ever since the enchanted blade plan has moved here together with him...>Akemura thoughts: The hard days aren't that different. >Akemura thoughts: Yet she's now gotten some peace.>Akemura thoughts: Nee-san can sleep again.>Akemura thoughts: Once again, Nii-san saved her.>>291930337>Akemura thoughts: I still haven't done a single thing...>Akemura thoughts: I guess I'll move my body a little more.>Soga mom: Akemura!>Ichiki: You two are the most important people in the country with the situation we're in now.>Ichiki: For a while we'll keep it as a top secret.>Ichiki: However at Chiaki-sama's request, you, her little brother, will be informed of this.
>>291930348>Akemura: Nee-san... are you okay?>Chiaki: Yeah. Because of everything, the dreams have kept rushing in and I've just been stuck in bed.>Chiaki: But I'm still in a bit of a daze.>Chiaki: Akemura.>Chiaki: You're going to become an uncle.>Akemura: ...The name?>Kunishige: You're being too fast.

Head to the forge.>Editor note: The meeting in a dream. The plan moves forward.
The pacing is garbage, you can feel the change of plans. this went from a proper part 2 that just happened to be set in the past to a Wan Piss tier flashback.
>>291931027>Chiaki: It's a boy.>>Soga mom: Could it be...>>Chiaki: In a dream... I talked to him.>>>291930360>>Chiaki: His name is Chihiro. I talked to him.Oh boy. We're on some self fulfilling time travel, prophecy shit now. Its Eren all over again.
>>291931014>chiaki fears the beardWhy?
>>291931027Nice chapter. I accepted that we're probably not going to see much of the actual war so I'm fine with it, I like the Chiaki-Kunishige-Akemura stuff.Kinda funny, went to sleep yesterday thinking there's no way kgb will get bottom one again and yet here it is...
>>291931027>chihiro has been forged
I wish Hokazano cared about her
>>291931301Seeing as we're about to forge the first blade for real next chapter I don't think we're going to be waiting all too long desu. It's her or Ibuki getting first dibs imo.
>>291930944...this is popular?
>>2919313583rd best selling series in the mag that's a 100k seller isn't popular to you?
This arc is such a joke. Where's the fighting?
It's pretty ballsy to spend so much time on a flashback arc on character who are mostly all dead. We've spent a dozen+ chapters on Kunishige / Chiaki characterization, which I can get, but then you throw in>Ibuki>Possibly lolibaba>All the MikaboshisThe present day cast could also use this kind of characterization but it will have to wait. It's a ballsy decision, and people are getting impatient
This story is getting too Tokyo Revengers for me.
>>291931442>it's afraid
>>291930279Kek, it looks like conserved chapter from before Ibuki introduction one, with one panel with destroyed city being added recently. Nothing from character interactions or emotions indicate that Ibuki+ chapters happened. How dead is Hokazono?
Seriously, the hell is going on with the pacing of this arc.
>>291930360NAME DROP
>>291931027>>291931290>Chihiro was born from eugenicsJapan did it again
one more week
>>291931548Nothing?
Bro, this chapter is lowkey...It makes the whole flashback look retarded. Like it just showed he could have summarized it like that from the beginning, no bullshit famy abuse flashbacks or smelting, and it would have been FINE.
>>291932113you are low iq
>>291930279The pacing is legit atrocious
>>291932113The pacing has always been all over the place, people are only noticing now because it's gotten sliiiiightly worse and the usual keys are not jingling to keep their attention.I don't have any expectations left for this manga anymore and actually enjoying this arc more than the previous two. Not surprised some people are getting frustrated because their favorite toys are not present and there are no shitty "amazing action" double spreads to keep them entertained.
>>291932284> amazing action" double spreads to keep them entertained.Last time it happened was during the deadlock arc with Chihiro vs Datenseki jobbers
atleast he went back and give a summarisation of all the events. Are the protoypes an unnamed katana? Did they ever say which one was the first to be made out of the six?
>>291932334Eh, I'm pretty sure Chihiro+Samura vs Yura/Akemura had plenty of them? Might be misremembering though. Less action, no battles with EB, most popular characters are not present - suddenly people say the story is now bad and the pacing is bad and all that stuff, they only start paying attention to that stuff when they don't get what they want, lmao.
>>291932412>suddenly people saythe schizo is not "people"
>I had a dream where I talked to Chihiro WTF is that
>>291932453Stop being disingenuous, you know there are other people both here and in other places who are dissatisfied. You look like a schizo yourself if you blindly deny it.Your average jump reader is not smart nor patient.
>>291932583Maybe it wasn't a literal conversation, idk. Reminds me of when naruto met kushina, maybe we will get something like that?
>>291932596>hereno there aren't. the samefagging is extremely blatant because he puts 0 effort into it.>other placesno one cares about your shitcord or whatever the fuck
>>291932412Well, there is certainly some big problem with the pacing right now.
>>291932639>No one but a schizo criticize Kagurabachi on /a/This is how insane you sound anon.
>>291932639>no there aren't.You really don't see how insane you sound? All popular manga have both haters and regular readers who criticize it, it's impossible to only have one schizo being negative at all times. Just because that schizo posts more often that any other anon doesn't mean others don't exist, you're just fucking paranoid and should take a break from 4chan at this point.
>>291932688spamming the same short sentence with minor variations on the thread over and over again is not "criticism", negro
>>291932284The short chapters are really hurting it, feels like you get crumbs every week if that.
>>291932583I mean she can see the future sometimes, Chihiro probably thought about his mom a lot and "talked" to her in his mind, I can buy that this can end up feeling like a conversation.
>>291931005>Julywont it be June?
>>291931601At this point I'm just thinking we're not going to see her. Fucker drew lolibaba entirely to fill out the roster
>>291932284Bad pacing + short chapters + characters that should be getting focus aren't getting it + offscreen war = bizarre clusterfuck of an arc
