Although Bocchi is prominently antisemitic, I still love her
I'd vote for Bocchi's final solution
>>284610709>>284610734Bocchi's final solution is that everyone should be friends, she isn't antisemitic.

Christmas is next week.
>>284604139They still need to rest, they just literally can't sleep
>>284601448Didn't Ono age up and run away before he ever turned into Santa? I have no idea how it is remotely his fault.
>>284608821I could shit in my hand and it would be a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Paru has great ideas but just can't write a cohesive story, the theory she's just making shit up on the fly makes more sense with every work.
>>284614965you sound like a deeply unhappy person.
Digimon was great
>>284612432Why is this franchise to cursed?
Is it me or is there lack of fan art?>>284611505Did the crew forget that this a children show or wanted to see what they can get away? >>284606651Why does she have two different names?
>>284604937I guess you could say it's similar because both are instances of mentor-like advice being interrupted by slight bickering.I don't know if the parralel is that strong though.
>>284606397Pristimon/Wolvermon has her champion form at the start of the series. It's pretty much her default state when battling, so it's a baseline.On top of that, she's the muscle. Chiropmon has status tech for non-violent takedowns and Gekkomon has a protagonist-y super attack. Wolvermon's role is to keep the enemy pressed so the others can come in for the finishing blow.This all means she doesn't get to be the star of the fight pretty much ever. To some people that's jobbing.But it's not like she's constantly humiliated on the battlefield.When she jobs it's usually because everyone is jobbing and we need a special plot device to save the day.
>>284612432>Appmon is literally homosexual.It has Eri at least.
Pure maiden.
>>284607022Do you think she got an std before she died?
>>284610502All I know is they didn't have syphilis until the 1700s

Kaiju No. 8 Final Chapter Production Confirmed!A new Original Short Animation "Narumi's Week at Work" has also been confirmed!
Nice, I didn't think it would get a sequal.
vol. 3 is out. Discuss Ars plapping his hot aunt.
>>284612062Anon, the point is that it's literally censorship in every meaning of the word. It doesn't matter why it was done, it's censorship. Why can't you understand that? >but antithetical to Japanese cultural valuesBecause Japanese culture isn't retarded>Inb4 Americans LARP as Japanese people and complain about American culture being worse as if that means anything
>>284611575It’s bumpslut just let him be here to bump the thread by replying to himself about his own headcanon until we talk about the actual story again.He’s not a bad guy and actually helps the thread being kept alive he’s a useful idiot for MT chads.
>>284602958Or who would assume leaving OG dragon god alive when he killed off all the other gods non-stop and expecting him to die quietly in his world…what could possibly go wrong? It’s actually funny how his fuckup in ODT is almost identical to the one he did in main story.
>>284614504Wish we got to see more about the world's cosmology. I still don't understand how the fuck this cube world works exactly
so how many more volumes are we still expecting?
Why does every battle shonen keep making the same mistake of having a billion useless side characters? They're plastered all over merchandise and volume covers like they're important, but in the actual story, they either don't do anything, or what they do ultimately doesn't matter.Dragon Ball made this mistake, Naruto did it, Bleach did it, MHA did it, JJK did it, and One Piece is currently doing this.If they don't serve a purpose in the story, they shouldn't be in it. We don't even get filler to actually make use of all these worthless characters that clog up the story anymore.
>>284606896
>>284606896Because it only takes one design / character to attract audiences for the series popularity trajectory to change completely. More characters = more opportunity.Vegeta from Dragonball was introduced in Chapter 204 of the series.
>>284606896Drawing the same characters over and over again gets boring very quickly so artists create new ones to keep things fresh. Also they have ideas for cool powers and abilities that can only be expressed through these new characters. Then they think they could ultimately make them all relevant through some final conflict or great war.
>>284610925This
>>284606935Mami Koyama recently stated that she told Toriyama she would be busy traveling, so Lunch was written out of the manga for extended periods of time accordingly. Broadly speaking, a lot of mangaka like designing and drawing characters but may not necessarily have much for them to do. Introducing new characters might be designed to broaden appeal of the series, to give everyone a chance to find a character they like, or at the very least to pique interest and survive another week in publication. Kishimoto and Kibo just happen to be the most egregious with it.
Koito! The internet connection is down! Koito! KOITO!!!

Koito?More likeKoitus
>>284613202>this much tism to an obvious jokeAlso, dwarfs is proper English. "Dwarves" was a misspelling by Tolkien that he kept to make his Dorfs uniquely his. Alas he didn't have the foresight that his would become the standard for Western Stunties.
>>284613659i see
Nobody fucking asked for this.

Alright, it is Thursday and I am gonna post the twelfth volume of MAO. Feel free to react or comment on any panel, though I appreciate if image replies are not used during the dump. Feel free to discuss anything related to MAO after the dump. In addition, as MAO is atypically plot-heavy as a Rumiko Takahashi manga, please be mindful of others and use spoilers tags when discussing things that are revealed later in chapters that have not been dumped.MAO is Rumiko Takahashi's current ongoing series, a dark fantasy manga with a more serious tone than most of her other major series. I highly recommend it, as there genuinely is a lot of intrigue.Previous thread: >>284419897I will be using the official localization of the manga volumes by VIZ (despite my issues with it). Keep in mind that the nature of the writing in MAO and this localization in particular has resulted in some mistranslated lines. Be aware that some of the larger images may have been edited to be lower quality due to image size limits.
>>284613411I can't help but believe.
>>284583657>>284588716>Surely there's a more reasonable way of asking that question.heh
>>284588727how long has it been nanoka>>284588838>sleeps with the sword right next to her she's learning her role well >>284588857uozomi is ready you don't want those hands, kitty>>284588869>picrelmajestic >>284588991but this one seems to have come up from underground judging by that lightning that the byoki saw, and it's not the byoki's fault this time also interesting style for nanoka's face there
>>284589165he's got a scar on his ear I guess it grew back?>>284589280oh no...bros, do you think grandpa's going to make it to the end of the manga?>>284589297ol' place held up pretty welloh my god is the building part of the death game too?!>>284589017>>284589356the chapter began with shirtlessness and now ends in full nudity! we are so backto be exact we'll be back on>The SUNDAY AFTER Christmas!!
>>284614150>bros, do you think grandpa's going to make it to the end of the manga?Depends on what kind of ending they go for, I suppose. If Nanoka decides to stay in the past with Mao, I could see them doing a bittersweet grandpa death before she leaves for good. But if Mao dies or she stays in the present for whatever other reason, he'll probably stick around. (Actually, it would be funny if Mao makes it to the present somehow and becomes old man buddies with grandpa, like Rinne's mom and grandma.)
