GetBackers Volume 10 Chapter 74Previous chapters 68-73 >>268496592
>>268569973Heterosexuals
And that's it! See you folks tomorrow.
>>268571033Thanks OP
>>268571033Cheers, OP.
>>268571033Yeah!
>>268570352Love is one hell of a performance enhancer.
>>268570489>translating his KIERO roars as go awayShamefur dispray.
>>268569767What a happy picture of a a terminally codependent suicidal dude and his omnicidal living emotional crutch.
>>268570991Bloody...!!
>>268570991Sorry AHH!kabane... but the Night Walker, you are not.
>>268571033Thanks, OP.
>>268573619funny, one would think Ginji would be the codependent one...
>>268575590haha
>>268571033Thank you for posting.
>>268571033Thank you very much anon.
!
This whole sequence of the last 5 chapters was amazing in the anime and in my case, the latin dub enhanced it greatly despite some minor mistakes in the translation
>>268583250Hell yeah.
thanks OP!
>>268582330Get back
>>268583250The JP voice acting was GOAT in these episodes too.
>>268575590It is a bit like a twist
>>268575590But it also makes complete sense. Ginji may be schizo and kinda childish, but when he’s at his best he’s emotionally intelligent, empathetic, and has a healthy support network. Ban, on the other hand, is a genius, but deep down he’s a wreck of person.
We haven't gotten back far enough.
>>268573619>>268575590They're both codependent to a some extent. There's a scene in a later arc where Akabane observes Ban freaking out over Ginji and comments, "Whenever one of you is in trouble, the other displays an explosive burst of power. I do not understand this kind of a bond, but I find it very intriguing."
>>268573619Well that's one way to describe them.
>>268583250>>268584813>>268589008Dat soundtrack, too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74IexpG4MJc
>>268595715
>>268573619Ban's codependency is even sadder when you realize that (big spoilers ahead) Ginji is his curse and he knows it. He got a prophecy when he was a kid that he would meet a two-faced Lightning Lord, and one day, after the Lightning Lord completely loses his marbles, he will have to make a choice: either he kills Ginji, or he lets Ginji kill him. The guy found the one relationship more doomed than the Titanic and jumped straight into it.
YEAH
Found the old fanart pages printed in the tankobons. The sheer confidence of those kids to send this to the creators is impressive.
>>268599314I need a Honky Tonk girl in my life.
Also, I've forgotten how fucking gay the manga page spreads became as the story progressed.
>>268599314ballsy young artists
>>268599699Damn, you weren't kidding.
>>268601735>>268599699>just realized they have matching braids and earrings tooThis spread just gets more over the top the more you look at it.
I remember watching GB back to back with Saiyuki Reloaded.
>>268602013I wonder how aware they were of the fujo fanbase at this point.
Next chapter in an hour or so.
>>268604089There’s that, but given that Ayamine is a self-admitted reader of BL and related doujins, I suspect most of it was a matter of his preference as well. He outright said that he tends to turn friendship into romance.
We aren't dying right before a chapter
Come on, OP.
Chapter 75.
>>268608781Instant healing too. Talk about OP.
And that's it for our heterosexual protagonists! See you folks tomorrow.
>>268608923Sick
>>268609139Even sicker
>>268609193Thanks OP
my backs... I need you to.........
>>268608942Considerate of Ban to make sure the sword doesn’t touch Ginji while he himself is being skewered.>>268609193Thanks, OP.
>>268604089>>268605440Many shounen manga have had fujo fanbases, but I don’t remembered any shounen being this blatantly romantic.
>>268609193Thank you for posting.
>>268609926Yeah, it seems to deliberately appeal to that crowd while still staying a shonen.
>>268609447I got you.
>>268614498Thanks.
>>268609139Fanservice.
>>268609193>AHH!kabane: fucking cocksucking cockblocker... some other people were also trying to kill themselves here too, you know?
>>268617140For?
>>268617792Us.
>>268617418To be fair, ACKabane just wanted to test his power levels. Ban is too smart to join his combat sadomasochism, so mindfucked Ginji is his best bet.
>>268620210Makes sense.
>>268609193Cheers, OP.
>>268612684Ayamine's favorite read in high school was apparently a manga about gay fallen angels, so I'm guessing he also just grew bolder once he realized his editors will let him get away with it.
>>268623194That does explain a lot actually.
>>268609139I really like Ban calling Ginji's Lightning Lord personality Pandora's Box. Very poetic. Also>GOOD dreams
100% success rate at getting things back
>>268608923The classic cool guy shoulder wound.
>>268628507In his case it’d also be a fairly big deal because it’s his dominant hand. It’s also where the sword would go automatically if he wants to maintain eye contact with Ginji. That said, it’s interesting how shocked Akabane looks in the upper left panel here >>268609139. Given his speed, he should have seen what Ban was doing.
Up
'sup?
>>268569767
>>268623194This gets extra funny if you know the ending of GB.
76
>>268637925>can build a nuke>won’t update his Windows SecuritySasuga teenagers.
>>268638928Yeah!
>>268638604What a twist. That was some incredible self-control on Ban’s part, goddamn. Though you can see him quietly gasping in pain here >>268638387, when Ginji touches him.
>>268640015Ban's hidden four trillion IQ to outwit Makubex.
>>268638604Explains why he called getting stabbed a 'good dream'
>>268638928Thanks OP
>>268640357It really was a trillion IQ move. Letting himself get stabbed in the dominant shoulder sucks and this has weakened him significantly, but the older wounds helped him hide the new injury. He’s managed to defuse Ginji and get a hidden ace up his sleeve for Makubex in one fell swoop. Ginji will freak out once he finds out the truth, but alas.
>>268638160>Ban literally roasting Ginji in the background for his fuck up Holy kek.
>>268638160>Ban: you should've thanking me, The lightning lord would have burned you to a crisp had he reached 100%.>AHH!kabane: you think i dont know that? im into that shit and you just cockblocked me, dammit!
>>268637925really, when you think about it: Makubex is right.when you discover EVERYTHING in your life, right down to the minutest detail, is being chosen for you, what is even the point to even trying? and then theres living in IF: hordes of murderous thugs everywhere, people with sudden superpowers fucking shit up in a regular basis, get infected with supercancer from god knows where, while you know theres a city full of godlike beings deciding your life for you and unable to compromise for their subjects.why are the heroes so intent in protecting such shitty hellhole and such an even worse status quo?>because tokyo could go down too.well it better be, because its implied the babylon gods are also in control of all of japan. they have to be stopped somehow and nuking the entire country is the most sensible way.
>>268638928Thank you for posting.
>>268642013kek
>>268638928See you tomorrow!
>>268641183Yeah, that's funny.
Bampu
Get back!
>>268634954It'll be a while before I find out.
>>268643186Speaking of control, notice that Ban’s trillion IQ and self-sacrifice just broke the Babylon Archive prediction. >>268637786 says the Archives predicted that he’d use Jagan to save Ginji and protect himself, but he didn’t. Looks like there’s at least one person in Tokyo who unequivocally has free will. And where’s one, there could be more.
>>268642013>Ginji is fun to toy with >Ban is a better challenge There will always be a next time.
>>268653743good spotting
>>268638160>>268638315Ah yes, the infamous Dom Stomp sequence.
>>268638160>>268658666>the katakana sound effect literally says ドムMy sides.
>>268658666Fucking lol
>>268570065>quarter GermanEvery time. At least in this case it's kind of relevant for his story.
We ain't dying yet
>>268653743Spoilers for later parts of the story: Come to think of it, this is how he breaks the predetermination multiple times during the story. He keeps refusing to do what a “human being” (as various people put it) would have done.
>>268638928Cheers, OP.
>>268658666kek
The old man (assuming he's some sort of agent or outcast from Babylon City) kind of reminds me of when a member of the Committee of 300 shows up in a Science Adventure VN
>>268667594Gen doesn’t know the exact nature of Babylon City, does he? I doubt he’s that high up.
Not yet
>>268570408I like how even Makubex with his fancy observation tech and predictions just goes “wtf, that guy is scary”.
77.
>>268673852See you tomorrow!
>>268673520>>268673458Of course Akabane would be the one to get off on killing his clones.
>>268673631Everything about this page is hilarious. Ban’s stone-cold neck snap, Ginji’s remarkably understated reaction given that Ban-chan had just murdered their friend out of nowhere (as far as Ginji knew), and Hevn confirming that Ban seemed to enjoy murdering her copy a little too much.
>>268674010Thanks as always, OP.
>>268673458GInji being scared of Akabane won't ever get old
>>268673852Thanks OP
>>268672514lets be real, whenever Ban uses the Jagan, most people do end up seriously fucked up to the point they dont want to live anymore (case in point: the violinist guy, and his illusion wasnt even scary)the Jagan is definitely a powerful and highly dangerous ability that should not be taken lightly, hence why those on the know of its existence and limitations try to do everything on their power to avoid it, because if they dont, it would be game over, no matter how smart or powerful you actually are.
>>268673852Thanks OP.
>>268673852Thank you for posting.
>>268673852Kazuki cutest girl
It's simple, we kill the GetBackers!
>>268682488Threadly reminder that the Genkobackers already died. :(
>>268682550;__;
Continue.
>>268676449It’s actually even worse than we usually see, because Ban intentionally holds back the full scale of the horror. He can insta-kill people with the Jagan illusions by inducing brain death. He just doesn’t, because Ginji would be sad to see him kill people and Ban hates himself enough already.
>>268689831NTA but I didn't think of that. That's interesting.
>>268691963And he's got a lot of self-hate. When rushing to Ginji during his Lightning Lord snap, Ban is repeating "you're not like me" pretty much like a mantra.
>>268680659The most popular girl (male) character in the manga.
>>268689831We're also told that he can see through the VR on steroids in the Infinity Fortress because of his Jagan, so presumably they work on a similar principle, except Jagan is more powerful and literal magic.
>>268695051kek
>>268695051wew
>>268674167Thoroughly enjoys it.
>>268676449It's almost like a cheat code.
>>268703605Or would be if he were more ruthless with it. There’s also the three uses per day limitation.
>>268704769Yeah, and I forgot about that second part. If he gets ganged up on it's not quite as spectacular. Still, it is amazing.
>>268706157Remember, he can use one eye on multiple people
78.
>>268706363>comedy manga where Ban has a lazy eye and accidentally Jagans randoms on the street when
And that's it, folks! See you tomorrow. Three chapters left in this volume so we'll finish v.10 then.
>>268707622Thanks OP
>>268707622Thanks, OP.
>>268707622Fanks.
>>268707561>Ban’s KEIKAKU DOORI face on the bottom left Feels great when you fuck up destiny.
>>268707400again with that...i do get what the old man is trying to say, that Makubex doesnt have to live alone and that he can still live a plentiful life with friends who will care for him despite him being so linked to IF that he cant fuck off like the other Volts did.but the problem is that this would just let the babylon city gods to keep fucking with japan as they have been doing so far undeterred. whos to say those guys wont start targeting him directly, or other randos? or start war on the world? maybe stopping Makubex from using the nuke is priority one, but still, someone should consider doing something about the ones who basically forced him to even make the nuke on the first place.
>>268707622!
>>268707622Thank you for posting.
>>268711422Destiny is no match for Ban.
>>268707502I love Ginji's reactions.
>>268721733Cute
>>268707622Cheers.
>>268707561They look a lot worse for wear.
>>268721733Cutest shounen protagonist.
>>268726353You might be right about that.
>>268727366He's fucking adorable in a very natural way. I didn't really understand why he was always no1 in popularity polls back when GB was running, but rereading it now, I kind of get it.
>>268729927It's funny how you can look at something so differently the second time around, especially when a lot of time has passed.
>>268731318Most childhood favorites don't hold up, but it makes you appreciate the few that do even more.
>>268707400>There are other ways to end this battle besides winning or losing!Ayamine did say he dislikes conflict resolution based on win/loss.
>>268732179Very true.
>>268707502>tsundere mallet out of nowhere Good old days.
>>268737120goddamn that activated a neuron
Almost there.
Ban bump.
Chapters 79-81.
Ganbare, OP!
>>268740408>Let’s cut the therapy session and start the bloodshed.Akabane seems to have forgotten what magazine he’s in.
>>268742418Kino
>>268742418Ban Mido, master of traumatizing autistic kids.
And that's it. See you folks tomorrow for the start of volume 11!
>>268743274>I don't really care if this breed makes a good seeing-eye dog or notLove this guy's honesty.
>>268743348Wait, is he playing as a slut healer girl?
>>268743738Thanks as always, OP.
>>268744046I had to double-take too when I originally read it and began reading the text. A healslut back in the early 00s.
>>268743738Thanks OP
>>268743221>He and Kazuki are BLEEP>Fudou’s Ban’s obsession wasn’t liked by the fans, but I like this character >He has uncontrollable desires, what else do you need?Ayamine gives no fucks.
>>268743469>look her name up>only result is gay ass MAL and all she was credited with was working as a GB assistantsad
>>268740408emishi gyatt
>>268743221Fudou was only 28? Guy looks middle-aged.Guess that's what being fueled by hatred does to a man. Frankly they're all a solid decade younger than I thought they were, except for Sakura
>>268745025A typical case of Anime Age™. Just add ten years to every character in your head and things will make more sense.
>>268742660>>268742708>Got hit with the Jagan.>Got so depressed that he will still be bound to the gods and having taken his detonator that he decides to kill himself in a desperate attempt to get SOMETHING out of this.yeah... the Jagan is no laughing matter, you get it, you're as good as dead.>>268743348could this be the beginning of the isekai era as we know it now?
>>268745378If I had the jagan I'd stand in front of the mirror and spam it at myself to fake a life that isn't shit
>>268741801i mean, you know we are talking about AHH!kabane, right?
>>268745422Remember, anon, you only get three uses per day. You can’t really spam it.
>>268745670No, tell me more.
>>268745378It ultimately helped him, but it’s still funny that Ban basically mindfucked a depressed 14 year old kid into suicide as a form of therapy.
>>268746836I wonder how long the illusions can last (from the victim's perception), considering that we've had entire chapters inside the jagan
>>268747118Are you saying...
>>268743738Thank you for posting.
>>268749290Yes!
Get back.
I need to step out for a moment, /a/. Would you watch my GetBackers thread for me until I get b/a/ck?
I got your back, anon.
>>268742451You can't be a bad-ass renegade without a signature one-liner.
>>268744509The mark of a true author.
>>268744656I always get a little sad too when I discover something like that.
>>268638387this forum sticker is so old I still had it saved as a .bmp
>>268747118in the anime-original final arc Ban gives a dying Fudou a neverending dream where he gets to fight Ban forever
>>268747118Ban can stretch the victim’s perception of time, but he has to actively riffle through the person’s mind and memory to create advanced illusions like that. I doubt he could give the same complex dreams to himself.
>>268758699>bmpYou don’t have .mov files laying around somewhere, do you?
>>268761473lol
>>268761479nothing showing up on my current hard drives but probably some in the stack of old hard drives I pulled out of storage to see if there was anything I wanted to salvage on them
>>268761473Given that Akabane was constantly 3rd or 2nd in popularity polls, I suspect his fanbase looked a lot like that.
>>268758292It seemed she put a little extra effort above the others, into her post-volume drawings. Sad she didn't go anywhere.
>>268763488She probably saw the brutal mangaka working schedule and decided that she didn’t want to die at 50.
>>268764409It reminds me of actors trying to break through. It's really brutal and based as much on luck as anything else.
>>268765451True that. I hope she's happy wherever she is all these eons later.
>>268766477Yeah, maybe doing something else with her art.
>>268767872Having a healthy wrist.
>>268768489kek
>>268762096Morikubo’s voice acting for him was a thing of beauty.
>>268762096i watched the latam dub of GetBackers on Animax(i think?) whenever Ginji talked, all i could hear was Yakko Warner. i dont think that was a good casting choice specially on whenever he did those kid of things. but then again, that dubbing group was behind A LOT of the animes aired there.
>>268766477Did she get married a few volumes back?
Up you go
>>268773151Thanks.
Shit. Why does it start on a random page sometimes?Chapters 82-84 incoming.
Fuckin' drag and drop.82-83: End of the Return to Infinity Fortress arc.84: Interlude I
>>268775077Just turn off your inner electromagnets, Ginji.
>>268775230Cute retards.
>>268776441Oh shit. Cogito ergo sum in full effect.
>>268777914>105k yen for medical expenses of one person>your insurance doesn’t cover it, too badWhat is this, America?
And that's it. See you folks tomorrow for a special interlude starring Shido and Madoka!
>>268778912Thanks, OP.
>>268778837Nigga what
>>268778837That's basically a nipple.
>>268778912Thanks OP
>>268779704Basically? It's two nipples
>>268778912Appreciate it OP, a necessary spread to cap off the Infinity Fortress gauntlet. Seeing what arcs are coming up I'm looking forward to how the rest of the manga goes compared to the anime since I watched it recently
>>268780020Basically because you and I /know/ it's a nipple but it's not actually a "nipple".
>>268780277How is it not?
>>268781408Ssssssh.
>>268778912Thank you for posting.
>>268776370Uhhhh...
No.
Yes.

>>268789780Trash taste, literally.
>>268786490Imagine the wild bestial sex she has now.
>>268792422but not with you
>>268793233That tends to happen with fictional characters.
>>268794876Say it ain't so...
>>268778697Goddamit, Ban. Stop trying to cheat with your E class luck, swallow your pride and use your considerable talents for honest work.
>>268793233gottem
>>268797186>Ban wants to be a luckchadI sympathize.
>>268779342GET BACK
>>268777914Oh wow, that's brutal.
