> if the parasites are in matter based bodies cant he just mist dispersion them all?
He cannot, this will only destroy their physical form but they're not beings of this world, it would just lead back to them hounding on students after being destroyed. Miyuki's cocytus worked because it freezes the soul and is and has always been the most broken ability in the entire franchise.

Christianity in Japan was evil.
>>
Do people forget that the catholic church also exists?
>>
>>266705270
It's really about the aesthetics.
The japanese knowledge of the church stops at:
>"it's a world-wide hierarchy which employs complex rites and a distinct, codified aesthic"
so it's natural that it's easy to use such a concept as the villain if neither you nor your readers know any better.
Similarly, you wouldn't say that Japan is very christian just because western-style weddings are trendy there: it just looks nice to them.
On the other hand, it may also the usual abuse of the "epic subversion" factor: in Evangelion the church does not appear for example, but they still call those monsters "angels" for no real reason other than the fact that it sounds more "mysterious" and "unexpected" than just "demon" or any other typical bad guy name.
There could also be the fact that despite liking hierachy in general, for some reason japanese culture doesn't like it too much in religion.
I think I'm just stating the obvious in all my points here, but on the other hand this thread will happen again in two weeks, so.

So did the author read all the comments saying she was only in love with Lemon in Sunao's body and made this chapter to pretend that was not the case? Sunao was out of character being so thoughtful and eloquent.
>>
>>266707682
I checked, and Orange specifically has people who are native proofread stuff.
Native doesn't have to mean Japanese born, as a lot of translators and editors aren't actually Japanese, but just live there.
You'll see that with a lot of Jump stuff especially.

>>266707354
That's true. It didn't start as an over the top gag manga, and I don't think it'll ever be one.
>>266707936
I don't see how he was eloquent. He's just not a stuttering mess with Natsumi. And that's definitely not Lemon, since you'd be able to tell Lemon by her inner monologue.

Why did they get so up in arms? I thought Americans loved violence on TV.

It's more than that. It happens every fucking thread, and it's clear that there are malicious intentions. Like an attempt to completely demoralize anyone who's liking these shows. Maybe it's just a single poster, but if that's the case, he's fucking OBSESSED.
It's clear that he's giving IM fans a bad name, though.

Is there a more overrated character? Johan is literally a blank slate character. Ruyk is memorable and charismatic, Griffith, Yujiro... hell, even fat Major from Hellsing is dope
Yet Johan is considered top10 of all time.
Is this a joke?

It was one of those failures of the "show don't tell" creative writing rule.
His genius was mostly told to you instead of him doing impressive things and making you believe he was a genius.
It's why Monster starts out strong and then gets worse and worse over time until it ends. You're gradually realizing there's no real plot and that the villain isn't really smart or interesting.
Only good part of Monster was the autistic detective.
>>
>>266706235
I'll spoil all the mystery manga written by Urasawa for you: they are all like that.
>>
Johan is evil, to a magical realism extent.

He's like the Judge from Blood Meridian, if you're reading his character as some kind of real person, then you're missing the point.
You're not meant to point out the various contrivances behind his actions, he's there to motivate other characters to react and reveal their own natures.

What did you think of Shigaraki’s final?

>>266702672
Why would he tell anyone that he’s secretly trying to take over Shiggy?
>>
>>266707185
Ok, you seem decent enough to have a discussion with. You do realize Shigaraki’s character has been reaching his final station when Deku arrived at UA? He got to take his body back, he thought of his friends, he got to understand it wasn't his fault, he saw his his father turned that way, his grandmother got to save him and apologize to him, someone reached his hand to him and saved him when everyone didn't 20 years ago. All that happened before 423. Yeah AFO took over and possessed him again, but that was because Shifaraki’s hatred was destroyed, Tenko was saved, it was hatred that let him fight AFO and get his body back, it was hatred that revived him when Miruko destroyed his pod, and it was hatred that got him the army/friends. Yeah, it could have had more than 2 chapters, but this one is still good. No need for 30 chapters of Shigaraki fighting AFO and helping the heroeslike Obito. He accepted himself as a villain and asked his family in PLW's dream to not deny his existence.

>>
>>266706732
You don't need gasoline for napalm, in fact if you aren't using modern gelling agents you're probably better off using diesel anyway, but generally speaking you just need a flammable liquid. That said it isn't impossible to make a poorly refined gasoline in the medieval era, as like with most crude oil refining, it's just distillation. You take the crude oil, put it into a sealed tank that you heat until it boils stuff off, that you collect in a condenser.
>>266707441
Well the issue is that there are a lot of possibilities, we don't know what the recipe was, but there are actually many ways to make things with the ascribed properties, with methods and materials they had available.
