Was there any hope of Archer not giving up on humanity? The issue here is that likely, he WILL be abused, he WILL get taken advantage of for it, at some point or another. Archer wasn't happy at all, he grew into a bitter, depressive person because he understood his ideal was absolutely futile. He wanted to follow it, but it only caused him pain
>>282946414Across infinite timelines of battle and suffering, even the strongest ideals will wither away. Archer handled his time as a CG better than most examples we've seen like Kerry Alter and Okita Alter. He's almost the voice of Alaya itself now, the self-hating unconscious of humanity that is forced to know all of its sins and what it's done to survive in every timeline, the sacrifices it has made, the people who have died because of its evil, greed, and weakness. It's inevitable that anyone in his shoes would become either a worn-out, sanded-down, empty-minded vessel of bloodshed like Okita Alter and Kerry Alter, both of whom exist only to kill and remember nothing. EMIYA is an unusual case that managed to cling to his identity as swordman, full of personality, but he's essentially tainted the same way as what the Fuyuki Grail mud does to a mfer. His entire existence is wading through grail mud in a symbolic sense, staring into the worst curses of humanity and having to kill, kill, kill so that everyone else doesn't end up getting dragged down into the mud with him and the curses of humanity upon itself.So no, there was no hope of that. EMIYA gave up on humanity a long time ago. But Archer does his job regardless. It was only seeing Shirou that really caused EMIYA to suffer a crisis of morale, being forced to confront the infuriatingly naive past version of himself that would foolishly throw his life away to try to save humanity, when EMIYA knows it's pointless from the start.
Alright, it is Thursday and I am gonna post the first 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: >>282728526I will be using the official localization of the manga volumes by VIZ. Be aware that some of the larger images may have been edited to be lower quality due to image size limits. In addition, unlike the twice-a-week schedule I've had for every series thus far, I will be switching to dumping this manga once a week on Thursdays.
>>282939893I think it gets used at least once when Mokuzu shows up

>>282941186I was trying to find where she talked about her reasons for her improvisation writing style but I had trouble finding a quote that got into it. Cool. There was another one that talked about characters, but I need to dig that up.

Kiki's Labor and Delivery Service!
I want Miyazaki to be forced to make a movie about driving on a road trip across North America and talking about how great America and driving and dining in America is, especially their sushi.
New episode soon.
>>282944304As was said in an upper post, the tgird episode suffered by that, with she punching so hard a dude that she broke a wall, he flew away, despite technically she was in a covert operation.
>>282944304It gets more interesting as more of the setting is explored, IMO.Re: challenge, I have two words: escort missions.
Kyle during his farmer arc ends up with a really buff right arm because he lets pinky lay her head on it every night when they sleep
>>282944376That makes sense, plus whatever was left of his pride was crushed at the end of Scarlet's fist, and maybe his nose too.
>>282925503Would you be able to tame this mesugaki? Damn, I want loli Scarlett in Bache outfit.
Since the last dump was posted after bump limit, redumping here as if anyone actually discusses the chaptersChapter 289: The Akatsuki Spy!!Start: https://desuarchive.org/_/search/boards/a.desu.meta/subject/Daily%20Naruto%20Chapter/filter/text/page/8/Previous>>>282905987

>>282942852Looks like he didn't even read it.
>>282938738Nah, I'm thinking Kinema Citrus
I've come to realize that each Yuru is meant to represent a different season.>Kyouko is spring because spring is when people start feeling more energetic>Chinatsu is summer because she has the brightest colors and mood>Akari is fall because she's the comfiest>Yui is winter because she acts cold and it's darker during winterTheir hair colors and personalities all match the vibe of each season, and their names are also similar to Japanese season names (with the exception of Kyouko not being similar to Haru).Chinatsu > Natsu, Akari > Aki, Yui > Fuyu
>>282941756It's kind of a staple with omurice
>>282941756Better than mayonegg.

>the antagonists in One Piece are not intimidatingHow is a 16-foot supersonic motherfucker with a trident less intimidating than some fag from Bleach or Naruto who just has very, very powerful magical powers?
>>282943650Haki users cannot be hurt by non haki weapons>>282943655Yeah but a haki punch would still have done more damage
>>282943292>Big Mom is used to mock One Piece?Yeah, niggas have no problem with Majin Buu, but will tell you that this deserves to be laughed at and mocked. People just love being awfully biased and retarded about this series.>>282943581>cherrypicks one of the few antagonists with>what is Arlong>what is Smoker>what is Crocodile>what is Enel>what is Rob Lucci>what is Doflamingo
>>282944046>Arlonglooks goofy, and when it attacks is just plain ridiculous >luccifurry, cannot look seriousthe rest is fair but it's still less than 10% of the main villains. Most shounen villains look respectable at least
>>282944190>an anthropomorphic shark that can eat your neck in one bite isn't intimidating because...>a giant leopard with super speed isn't intimidating because... memesOk>More than half of the antagonists Luffy has faced>still less than 10% of the main villainsOk

Do you think you lose a certain something when you read a manga all at once, versus reading it as it comes out and you get the waiting and the build up in real time, waiting for the new chapter to come out? Or am I being a schizoid and because it's the same story either way, the actual wait doesn't matter if the story is good?I don't really have an image appropriate for my question so here's a cute Fuuka
>>282944224Both have their charm for their own resons.Dailies in theory are a good compromise because they allow for chapter by chapter discussion while keeping a decent pace.
>>282944224They're different things, each with their own benefits and drawbacks, you can't really have both so you just need to pick what is preferable to you.
>>282944553Stop insulting my threads, I thought it was a good question
I think reading week to week gives you a greater familiarity with the material because you start to attach emotions to the arcs (good or bad) and start to identify the series with its place in your life with a sort of long view perspective. When you binge a series it might resonate deeply but it sort of holds a place in your life like a good movie or limited series. You appreciate the larger arcs and storytelling devices the author implemented because the cause and effects and motivations and foreshadowing is much more obvious and immediate. But you'll always be aware that your appreciation of the series is one where you came to the story late and you can only interact with the community on the community's terms. There might be very few people who give a shit or there might still be a huge amount of fans keeping the lantern lit. Just two very fundamentally different experiences for reading a manga and each with their own pros and cons
is this the moomin thread?
What will be the downfall of Ricardo "Jap Killer" Martinez?
>>282942733Ippo vs Mashiba already used the gimmick of Ippo's opponent getting one of their arms completely destroyed during the match. Nobody would be satisfied by Ricardo losing because of a major nerf.
>>282942704>american mercenariesIsn't everyone who receives a wage a mercenary?
>>282941814Sendo tanks a straight from Ricardo. Sendo clinches but to the surprise of the audience, he kisses Ricardo right on the lips. Ricardo tries to get out of the clinch and does a body shot but Sendo presses forward while kissing him and then gropes Ricardo with his right hand. Ricardo is flustured. Then suddenly...BAM. Sendo launches a smash to Ricardo's left side of the jaw and he falls to the mat flat on his back and his head bounces on the canvas. Sendo wins. After the ceremony Sendo walks out of the ring. Looks at Ippo and says "I discarded my manhood to win. Now is the time for you to come out of the closet." Ippo is dumbstruck and confused. He is not sure whether it was a challenge or that he should confess his love to Miyata. つづく
>>282942686Martinez lives as a king in Mexico why would he move to hellhole that is USA?
