uh fuck i didn't realize there was an interruption in posting
>>273230650>>273229670You know shit’s gonna get good when Ban starts shit talking his opponents in every panel.
>>273231151Good moment slightly ruined by the sudden presence of Ban's enormous dumptruck
>>273232520I’m sure Ginji appreciates those childbearing hips.
>>273230783”I can’t be defeated”, screams a man who can’t even touch his opponent.
>>273232242So the Brain Trust future is the SMT Law path, second future is Normal path, and third future is Chaos? Neat.
>>273232500Domestic abuse saves lives (again). Also>Ban defending Ginji’s sense of direction
See you tomorrow for the conclusion of volume 37!
Did fujobait already had his fight?
>>273232007Annnnnd HEEEEEY what is down THIS hallway in particular?
>>273233679which one? Kazuki vs Yohan? that one was 3 days ago.
>>273233464Thanks, OP.
>>273233302This whole page reads like something Araki and Kubo's child would come up with
>>273233464Thanks OP
>>273232674Ban is screwing up fate again.
>>273234184This whole arc would be marvellously trippy if it got properly animated.
>reading book>spell called "Brain Trust" is mentioned
>>273237150What’s the book, anon?
>>273237184it's litRPG fiction shit
>>273229670>A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me - Ban Mido
>>273233182I appreciate that Hevn has such a major role in the final arc that isn't damsel in distressa shame Himiko has only had like four lines in 30 chapters
>>273237209oh, isekai
>>273238554not all litrpg is isekai
Hevn dating Ginji's strongest general is definitely not on my Bingo list
>>273240953something about the phrase " Ginji's strongest general" is really funny to me
>>273241263Ginji gives his gayest thoughts to his strongest generals
>>273241263It's kinda hard to believe that Ginji was basically the "King" of Mugenjou before meeting Ban
>>273241555Imagine if your emperor just vanished one day and you found out he was living in a car with a known murderer stealing videogames for a living. You'd fucking hate Ban too
>>273241622thats basically Chiatozu in that one DB movie
Get back!
>>273244645
>>273241622>I USED TO RULE THE WORLD>SEAS WOULD RISE WHEN I GAVE THE WORD

Cool OST https://youtu.be/uR7K6CeOU-Q?si=80xS8Ps4398FF0NZWhat was Ginji's Raitei's personality like during the Volts era when he isn't going berserk?
>>273249038other people perceived him as passionate, stoic, savage, and fiercely loyal,but according to Ginji himself he basically didn't have a personality. He just responded to the emotions of people around him and may as well as been a machine. That's part of why he left with Ban. Ban was able to drag out genuine thoughts and feelings that were his own for the first time in his life. Arguably the whole reason Ginji is the way he is because that personality is only a few years old even though he has memories of everything prior
We gotta get back
>>273249133Notice that he was also more mature and serious at 16 (when he'd just left the IF), than two years later. Ban basically fostered this new silly but happy personality in Ginji, and in the process grew a bit happier himself. When you think about it, they met at the lowest point of their lives. Ginji was turning into a soulless husk and Ban was suicidal. He came into the Fortress to meet his destiny - a guy who was prophesized to kill him.>>273241622Don't forget that Ban had killed or maimed a bunch of gangsters who tried to jump him and fought Ginji in his mutated form. In the eyes of Ginji's associates, he's a literal monster who killed their people, stole their emperor, and changed the emperor into a different person.
Reread the last chapters in JP, and there are some interesting details. First, the system Makubex talks to has a female speech pattern and he acknowledges it. TL has also omitted a few details in its speech here (>>273196575)>Tee-hee. It seems the the Second Future has began to warp, Makubex. Forget about the Third Future you so much desire; even this very WORLD may now return to chaos from whence it came. Wonder why I am not concerned? Because once it happens, I will be able to Create the First Future I desire, malleable like imagination itself. And my contract with that repugnant Voodoo King will be null and void. For me, it's the preferrable outcome.Its word choices are interesting. It uses "creation" in the Biblical sense. It also uses katakana rather than kanji for the current "world", implying it doesn't see it as a real world, but more like a facsimile or a simulation.>273196618"The power of GB's bond" not "bonds". Makubex talks about the two of them specifically.>>273230857>Maria: If Paul is right and you're now able to release all the power you hold using Asclepius, the the Ogre Battle that awaits us will be beyond our imagination. Truly the last battle battle to end all battles.Interesting.>>273231594>Ban: You can keep on living even if you can't win. Dragging yourself through the dirt, drinking muddy water like a worm. A chump like you can't imagine living such a pathetic life, and that's what makes you a scrub! Why don't you try living like a loser? Live, and try to leave something behind for the one you need to protect.A telling difference in the last speech bubble, which the translator apparently misread in a rush. Ban is speaking from personal experience there.
>>273241622>stealingRetuning, anon.
>>273249038Ban's theme for comparison.https://youtu.be/ptNqrciP4YE?si=IZZPi2LqZU5HnHgd
>>273231151Many such cases for some reason.
Gotta get more backers
>>273233966Yes this one, i never understood this fucking plotline in the get back the lost time arc
>>273251271>When you think about it, they met at the lowest point of their lives. Ginji was turning into a soulless husk and Ban was suicidal. He came into the Fortress to meet his destiny - a guy who was prophesized to kill him.Prequel with Ginji as a gang leader bringing together the Fuuga and the Four Kings leading up to this moment when?https://youtu.be/P5_r275S6QE?si=BdisOmoNK25jIOh0
Remember this extremely heterosexual art? Apparently this is the censored version.>Release: Animage March 2004 Issue>Comment: The illustration I submitted to the editors actually went all the way down! I don't know why, but whenever I draw the two of them together, Ginji's face comes out looking much cuter. And Ban looks extra wicked (laugh). In order to show both of their faces from the front, I put Ban in the back with Ginji in the front similarly to how women are photographed. Had to shrink his shoulders to make it work.
>>273255923Kazuki's entire reason for being in the Infinity Fortress was to resolve the destruction of his clan.
>>273255582Getbackcoin, fortress hands
>>273256124I’m not sure how exciting would it be with the main character being an extremely overpowered empty shell of a person.
I have declared that this shall be a multi-dump thread
>>273257941>it’s a psychological horror Would watch/read.
Chapter 325.
wasn't this manga about recovering things?
See you tomorrow for the beginning of 38, our penultimate volume!Spoilered image because this is a preview for the next volume and I'm pretty sure one of the dudes is the Voodoo King uncovered.
>>273263388well. they ARE doing that right now.
>>273263388They are currently retrieving the Lost Time™.
>>273263388The IL Retrieval arc made it abundantly clear that things will get extremely wild.
>>273264864Ren trying to leave Lower Town was the Idea of Evil of GB.
>>273265079Yep. The manga told the audience right there what to expect eventually.
>>273262803I like these moments when we see just how well Ban knows the nitty gritty of Ginji’s powers. Better than Ginji himself, even.
>>273263008Based Hevn making good on her promise here >>273232500.
>>273263483Thanks, OP.
>>273263090>>273263121>>273263179I kept waiting for him to get sneak-attacked
>>273263388Shonen escalation
>>273263483Thanks OP
>>273266558ayo this a shoujo
>>273263179It's a heterosexual manga
>>273257941>Paranoia Agent but Lil Slugger ends up a gang leader to a bunch of freaks like Tetsuo in Akira
>>273262695>The second future, Hevn. its a thing women would never understand
this arc reminds me a lot of the second season of Big O. Any influence on it?
The CHADS of MugenjouPraise be to lightning jesus
>>273268678Did the anime have Masaki in it?
>>273268715Yeah. I think this final arc took bits of the last arc of the anime which detoured.
>>273268837I take it the author gave the anime staff some hints and didn't canonise their own decisionsProbably
Ginji needs a haircut again.
>>273269203NOhe looks so wrong with short hair
Not yet.
>>273269203I want to see long hair Ginji
>>273273964that's illegal
>>273249038such a good track
>>273275449It's time to break the law.
>>273249038Why does he look like Vergil?
>>273269203Longer hair >>> short hair for them both.
>>273278151Cosplay.
>>273268837I need to rewatch the last arc of the anime. I remember absolutely nothing about it.
>>273280931I mainly remember an astounding amount of QUALITY and Ban curbstomping Akabane.
>>273282514The anime writers also couldn’t help themselves and went full character exposition, with Ban holding a whole speech about how he’s a completely different person now thanks to Ginji right in the middle of the fight.
>>273282514It sounds hilarious when you describe it like that.
>>273280931they went back to infinity fortress and the doctor's daughter had joined the new bad guys and uhh....... and they never even reached the beltlineit was basically just a remix of the IL arc
>>273287629Gojo is Ban if he were a genuine asshole and basically failed his character development.
>>273287629The power of being low res.
>>273269203I just realized that GB haven't had a haircut since Chapter 1 and it shows
>>273282514will WAAAH!Kabane be curbstomped in the manga too? also, he had a daughter in the anime?
>>273289627>art style change is just the protags being broke Kubo-tier
Volume 38, the penultimate.Chapter 326.
>>273290902Don’t remember anything about a daughter, but in the anime he challenged Ban to go all out, got snakebitten into dust, and Ban left him alive because he’s a better person now and Ginji would be sad if he started killing again. Akabane then warns him that he’s gonna keep stalking both of them, to which Ban replies that he’ll just beat his ass as many times as it takes and leaves.
>>273291380>penultimateIt's not actually ending...right?
>>273291419Penultimate means next to last.
>>273291673so... how horribly is Masaki gonna die now?
>>273291495I like the helpful reminder who currently holds the keys.
>>273291738well, someone has to help with those trying to keep up the score at home.
>>273291722He’s not a woman interested in Ban, so he’ll be fine.
>>273291722It's fine, we already have a sacrificial lamb (Saizou)
>>273292163AAAND ITS INSTRUMENTALITY! WE GOT INSTRUMENTALITY PEOPLE! we're getting our brains (as well as our bodies) turned into tang... again.
>>273292217sory there, but i still dont buy Maria actually being in the dark about all this crap. not after how she has been on top of things all this time, even now.
>>273292293See you tomorrow!
>>273292385Thanks OP
>>273292385Thanks, OP.>>273292217Considering the Brain Trust seem to be operating on a different level of reality, I don’t see why not.
>>273293227Was meant for >>273292272.
J
>>273293371Why is she such a saucy autist
Is this the manga that inspired the suggsverse?
>>273294286qrd?
>>273294846NTA, but it’s basically extreme powerscaling autism.
>>273294980I miss seeing that big powerlevel chart posted regularly. So fucking boring and tiresome seeing "hurr goku is da strongest!" spammed by newfags in every discussion for the past several years.
>>273294980The fun TTGL kind of powerscaling or the gay argumentive type of powerscaling
>>273293602>sheUnexpected spoilers or an unfortunate typo?
>>273295701Goku isn't even in the top 30 strongest in DBS. There's nameless guards stronger than him
>>273296890I understand that but not newfags. I know DB, overall, is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
>>273296890>There's nameless guards stronger than himReally?
>>273298259these fuckers
>>273295701My problem with powerscalers isn't whether they're right or wrong, it's that they don't seem to understand how quickly things fall apart once you go cross series You can make the argument that some planetbuster couldn't beat the weakest logia from One Piece since the former won't have haki, just as an example. But sometimes in their arguing they end up missing the point of series entirely, like someone I saw once calling the very idea of Featherine from Umineko's character retarded just because she doesn't fit their conceptions of powerscaling
>>273298869Featherine vs Drosselmeyer from Princess Tutu, who wins?
>>273298797Damn, maybe they should make an anime about them. Make one taller and goofier and the other shorter and more serious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7DNBeJz8Ms
>>273301124Nice.
>>273296330So cool.
>>273296315If you saw Akabane from behind, what would you think?
>>273305934I'd recognize that hat and hips anywhere. I would know I am already dead.
Best character
>>273301124https://youtu.be/KKMGAPXGdAE?si=QU3zSVGPayqFaQP3Makubex had a really nice theme.
>>273307397Hey, that's not Mr. No Brakes
>>273308606I hope he comes crashing into the infinity fortress and runs over herr derr kaiser with his truck
>>273308606Holy shit Ban is just Eddy
Get back
>The Rose of Versailles is getting a new adaptation>Ranma>now Anne of the Green Gables/gb/, we're definitely getting that remake.
>>273310341part of me has a feeling that if it does happen it'll get the Night Head Genesis/2041 treatment where it gets remade as a more overtly cyberpunk setting rather than ostensibly being 'present day present time'
>>273310550I wouldn't necessarily mind GB going cyberpunk, but the NH2041 producers did the horrible thing of making it a quasi-sequel to the original and then giving it just one cour. And since it was a sequel to a novel series consisting of seven fucking books (proper books, not LNs) it was basically incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't read them. Worse yet, it was also kind of a reboot, so it didn't follow the last book.>mfw we get a super rushed 12 episodes GB reboot
>>273311285At least we'd get some nice music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6iWfWFOZ24
We need to get back
>>273314339From a mass murderer to Jesus in one easy step.
>>273308737He reached maximum cartoon levels there.
>>273308737It's my favourite page so far, along with this one
>>273317320And we'll throw this one into the equation too Can you guess who my favourite character is?
>>273315786Our motley duo of scamming mass murderers.
>>273317320>>273317349This one is definitely one of my favs of Ban
Chapter 327.
>>273317349Deservedly so.>>273317320It’s a beautiful page. The contrast between Ban’s human tenderness and his monstrous appearance is 10/10.
See you tomorrow!
>>273320200Thanks OP I bet these two would appreciate it if people stopped keeping details of their tragic destinies from them
>>273320006The real enemy was Format C all along.
>>273320006On a side note they finally get rid of GB's mortal enemy, The traffic departement
>>273320200Thanks, OP. TL-kun is fucking up a bit here >>273320200.>Hevn: Is this true!? Masaki!? Those two... What a horrible fate!Hevn is super horrified, not just surprised.
>>273320346Well, Ban does know some of it and it just made him anxious of the future. Perhaps it’s for the better that they don’t know all the gory details.
>>273321796Yeah it felt pretty weird to read Like she was impressed at what wacky hijinks they're about to get up to
>>273320169ok... how to put it in the most humane and polite way possible... oh, ok... STOP IT WITH THE MOTHERFUCKING PRONOUN GAME ALREADY YOU SHITBAGS!!!
>>273321940in a way, i can agree, after all those are TRAGIC destinies, one will possibly become the demon who will destroy the world and the other is gonna be forced to kill said demon, fair enough.but at this point of the game, literally the last legs, i think they are strong enough to get the full gist, dont you think?
>>273322709If that’s what’s going on there, I’m guessing that nobody wants to tell them because it *has* to happen in order to bring the good future, and if GB knew this shit in advance they would back out and screw up everyone’s hopes and dreams. So the more knowledgeable party members want to keep them in the dark until the circumstances force them into their destined roles, at which point it will be too late to refuse.
>>273323016and thats fair enough... if they were to be fully briefed like say, right after Akabane helped Daddy Kaiser with Himiko's kidnapping at the underground tourney.but right now the only opponents left are Mr. Voodoo and Kagami (and hopefully Akabane) we went already past the point of no return a long time ago, even if they wanted out, they wouldn't be able to do so. Hell! one could argue they crossed the point already when Daddy Kaiser gave Ban his key. not to mention right now the objective is clear: defeat Mr. Voodoo, defeat kagami, take over the archiver to fix the world, and save himiko from the voodoo child curse. this is why i mean theres no reason to keep stuff from them anymore.
>>273320072>NearlyIt's the little things kek.
>>273323590Unless the Ogre Battle everyone keeps talking about is them literally fighting to the death and it’s unavoidable. We know Ban can’t hurt Ginji, and it’s hard to imagine Ginji attacking Ban without going schizo first. Yet we also know the Witch Queen foretold that Ban has to either kill the Lightning God or let himself die. It seemed like the prophecy was broken in vol32, but given what we’ve learned in the last volumes about her, it probably wasn’t.
>>273320200Thank you for posting.
>>273320200Thanks, OP
