>>269853933>Hym's stareHe is a gokubro.
>>269854004>UguuI think someone on JP twitter had a gif of Hyunckel running after easily beating Hym's ass and added Kanon's OP. Not sure, but I know they did something with that.
>>269854361
>>269853981This is bullying.
>>269854443So manly...
>>269854415He's shirtless now. He's unstoppable.
Wait a second, this is just like Shiryu using Excalibur against Krishna
>>269854561Why are you acting like you care about his life, Hym?
Honest question, do they talk too much now? Or is it just complicated translation? There's a lot of talkey talkey and less fight fight now I think.
>>269854792>TAKE THIS!!>MY HATE,MY ANGER AND ALL OF MY SORROW!!

>>269855479You think Vearn pays his servants? Lmao.
>>269855567Our HUNK
>>269855716Myst is right. Only Kill is more pathetic than you, Maximum.
>>269856032>>269856074Maximum may be a king, but he is no Hadlar.
>>269856249WARRIORSHIP STILL ISN'T A WORD
>>269856353Wow, this guy is a LITERAL failure. Why the fuck does Vearn even keep him around.
>>269856534Dude, HUNKel was kicking your ass not even 5 seconds ago and had you dead to rights. The only reason you're not dead is because you're a Zaboera-tier snake.

Toramana?I fink this bird meant snooze, fullheal, tingle, zing, peep and safe passage.
>>269856712Really not a fan of this one, just dont think Larhart is a particularly interesting character so his return just ends up being another “oh i guess this dude didnt die”. Has some funny banter with Hym at least and it is not like him returning takes away anything from the series proper though, so whatever.Also the opening spoils his return so hard lol, they really didnt bother hiding him.
>>269858408>clean duelBullfuckingshit.
>>269856074Fucking danger Mario
>>269859217Thanks anon
>>269856964>the quiver on his lips in the bottom panelIt's the little things.
vearn should have given hadlar the entire chess set, he's fucking garbage at this thing
>>269857017>>269857041Beyond pathetic.
>>269857070Hym really lucked out that he got the best leader a guy could ask for.
>>269857228The other two staying dead is probably a good thing, given they were psychotic cunts.
>>269857447GAAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>269857469Hyunkel...no...
>>269857540Oh, he's just taking a nap.
>>269857739Myst is not amused by this goofy dork.
>>269857788>Myst actually likes Avan's silly jokesThe most disturbing thing from him yet.
>>269854328Fighting spirit? I think this bloke meant "warriorship"
>No mention of Larhart beyond one post in this threadWhat killed the hype?

>>269858296
>>269865057Full circleYou knowCause Death 13's Stand Cry is from the Rariho Spell
>>269862861Vearn just wanted to see what King would do, as a joke.
>>269855296>>269855479He does it for free
>>269855784Maybe Vearn hadn't matured when he first created Maximum. Or Maximum is a reflection of the scummy pragmatism aspect of Vearn's personality.
>>269856786>LITERAL King Cold behaviorThey both babble a lot too.
>>269856712I wasn't expecting him to return.
>>269853960So what is he now? The hair and the fact he has touki indicates that he is a king which should be impossible.
>>269868645Hadlar isn't very good at chess
>>269854043He just needs to get the timing right!
>>269857788Myst...has a sense of humor?!
>>269858408Kill's idea of a 'clean duel' is probably not the same as most people...
>>269855017>>269855045SON OF A BITCH! IT'S THE DEMONSBANE!!!!
>>269857788>>269868744I wish the original anime reached that far, would be interesting to hear him laugh with that dark mysterious voice of his.
>>269855329Hym, you dummy. This is the usual number of pieces used for a chess match.
>>269855329Was Fenbren just the guy no-one liked?
>>269855386ENTER Janny!
>>269855596>Can see numerical valuesIt's so over!
>>269856712Boy, I can't wait for Baran to return as well.
>>269857041What was the point of this guy?We already know HUNK is a unit so there was no need to do the undead routine. It could have just ended at the Hym fight and it would have been fine.
>>269868645Block also ignored Castling rulesJust roll with it
>>269857906>Millennia>Constantly get thwarted by humans who are less than a century oldDo the creatures of Makai have shit progress rate?
>>269858358I have a feeling he's a little upset.
>>269858535Let's get chaotic!
>>269858801Myst, the master baiter.
>>269869612Worldbuilding? Logical to have a King and the additional Chess Pieces considering the game they're based on.
>>269870069Don't see what worldbuilding it adds. We already know the chess pieces can be transformed into warriors.It's not like his fight was great or his character was interesting. He just appeared, jobbed and that's it.
I was wondering why Grand Cross isn't in the games and it turns out it's named fucking Pearly Gates.
>>269857540kek I thought it was an edit(did the original guy ACTUALLY DIE?)
>>269872173And Giga Break is named GigagashAnd Earth Slash is named EarthsplitterAnd Medroa is named Frizz CrackerAnd Senka Rekkouken is named Great Ball of Fire (okay that one's actually Senkou Rekkaken but it's an obvious reference)
>>269872173I did a double take watching the official subbed anime and seeing>Behold my Land Dragon!>And my Sea Dragon!>And my Ethereal Serpent! (audibly says "Sky Dragon" in English)
>>269857860damn Vearn was ahead of the times with DEI hires.
>>269872317I'm surprised Boku no Meme didn't have Shoto use Medoroa.
>>269868645Evolved into king, probably a combination of the promotion ability + his own pride allowing him to inherit Hadlar’s will? This seems to be Hyunkel’s belief assuming the translation isnt wrong since he specifies it wasnt “just” the promotion rule.Block could bypass the usual limitations to perform a castling as well, so they arent entirely limited to what is possible in a real game.
>>269872682There's still enough wiggle room to have Hym pull out https://highschooldxd.fandom.com/wiki/Illegal_Move_Triaina in future
>>269868684Thoughts on the new Kengan chapter?
>>269872283If by original guy you mean Joe Yabuki then ______yes______
>>269869663Vearn pointed out that his castling move was cheating, so Pawn getting promoted to King is "consistent“ with the cheating
>>269857264>He woke up only 3 days ago>Somehow leveled up to the point he can contend with their current foes despite being the minion of a surpassed boss from a million arcs agoI always thought this was a bit much.
>>269874297Uuuhh absorbing Baraan's blood dragon infused him with some of his strength and battle experience
>>269874965I can believe that but Popp also did the same thing and he didn't power up as much as Larhart did.
>>269875033Larhart is half human half demon so he is closer to Baran and that's why the blood had a stronger effect
>>269875134This is also how Baran got stronger by sitting in a cave, he bled on himself
>>269875033But Popp does power up a lot. Most of his crazy gains comes after being resurrected by Baran's blood.>>269870234People would have asked what happened to the rest of the Orihalcon pieces, especially the King Piece.
>>269875719Popp didn't power up to final dungeon-tier in 3 days is what I meant.
>>269875719I don't see how. Vearn gave Hadlar five pieces, not the entire set. So there is no reason to assume there are more.
>>269876467Yes, the entire set, wich Hadlar only receive 5 pieces.
>>269856712>FUCKING WHY!?>>269857195Makes more sense than Avan NGLDunno when you start bringing people back from the death with no clear justification it just cheapens everything else, really sours the overall work.Hym coming back was foreshadowed as fuck and makes a ton of sense, Avan AND Larhalt just having been taking a trip to the shadow realm and coming back with the level to contend with the end game bosses is just fucking stupid and I question the inteligence of anyone who defends this development.
>>269875735But Larharlt was already super strong, Hyunkel only barely won by baiting him into a point blank Grand Cross. The power up can easily takes Larhalt to final dungen level but still, he is not at Vearn's level.
>>269876549But htey didn't matter. The 5 pieces were the only ones that did. They were the ones that Hadlar made into his guard. The rest could have been omitted and the result would have been the same.It's not like it was a big mystery where the rest of set went or whether or not the other pieces were used.
>>269878524If it's not such big mystery, then is not a big deal they decided to include them.
>>269878621Why include them in the first place?
>>269878818To show the rest of the chess set
>>269878961But there was no need to do so. We've seen all of the relevant pieces and Hadlar was considered the king of that group.
why did the new anime flopped so hard even his last yeargame flopped bad in japan
>>269879086Only the author can answer why they add that enemy (and the following "irrelevant" bosses). As I see it, Maximum was needed to expand the worldbuilding, answer some questions from potential readers, and show Larhalt's current level, and yes, he can destroy Orichalcum.
>>269879160Zoomers' brain are too rotten in mechanical videogames and isekai to understand old mangas. In these same story time threads you can see people forgetting what happened last volume, not knowing how to read between the lines of the characters, parroting the word asspull and thinking that the bonus pages with the characters' stats and levels have relevance to the plot instead of being there for pure flavorI remember that during the anime broadcast, people were saying stupid shit like "Why did Dai lose to Zamsa?" "Why should characters train to master the skills they've already unlocked?" "Why don't the characters grind?" "Why did Aban come back so powerful if all he did was grind for three months non-stop?" "Why is Larhalt so strong in the last arc?" "Why did Hymn revive after Hadler died?"
>>269879562I can't attest for everyone, but considering no one in the storytime wondered about where the set went I don't think there was any need to answer any question around them. They were never focused on.Anyhow, this sequence feels like unnecessary padding. If Maximum was truly needed then at least he should been coupled with a good fight or a memorable personality. HUNK's death could have been explained with the fight between him and Hym alone and it still would have been fine. As for Larharlt, I don't think his return is good either. But I will wait until later before I make a final judgement. However, if the point was to showcase how strong he became then it utterly fails in that since Maximum himself was weak.
>>269880113>Why did Dai lose to Zamsa?Simple CHADza was stronger than Dai and SURPASSEDran
Dragons!
>>269854462Can anyone confirm if this is your typical stats for a hero of his level in the game? I remember anon saying Dai's speed is especially high for a hero.
>>269876953I give Avan and Larhart a pass because the manga's extension led to Sanjo having to switch plans drastically.
