Chapter 28
>>275144985Fuck...
>>275145031ENTER!
>Umagon and Barry added to the crewHow can the villans even compete at this point without going full Clear Note tier.
>>275145031MY FUARKING HERO
>>275144782Raiku always manages to make attacks look extremely painful
>>275145031FINALLY>>275145043Yup spells are for losers
>>275145031ENTERTHE MAN WHO CAN STRIKE THE KING
>>275144884>>275144896Momon is cool.
>>275145113She's looking well.>>275145167>>275145177>>275145188Everythings going to be fine.
Super exciting if you realize, we're going from what was thought to be just a reconnaissance mission to a full out assault.With Bell and Barry here, plus the hint of the baby dragon, there's no way they're not going to try a takeover.
>>275145031Time for some striking.>>275145177And time to get groovy. Two enters in one. Though I'm guessing Barry is gonna fail to kill the mad scientist guy.
>>275145113Can't believe Sunbeam got maried with the sister
>>275145031ENTER
>>275146016I thought nuns were married to god, was Sunbeam that good?
>>275145031>>275145113>>275145167>>275145177>>275145188YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!DOUBLE ENTER!!!
>>275145257Barry much like Ashuron operates on his own and only temporarily meets up with the group. He hunts down demon slayers on his own.The villains have a much wider net, larger numbers, access to spells, strange abilities, and the ability to communicate with each other betterWeakness of gash's team is they need to split up to do anything at the moment, they're being spread thin and communication is a big issue. Folgore, Megumi, and Kiyomaro all need to go different paths in order to get anything done since they're also working under a time limit. If any of the evil demons gets to a book owner first they're just going to kill them. There's nothing they can do without a demon backup.Umagon might stay with gash but I don't see him adding too much just yet.
This manga is nothing but ENTER and I love it
>>275144884>>275144896kino
>>275145031>>275145177Massive ENTER.
>>275146587It's crazy how it has just been one long continuous ENTER since Gash first reappeared and hasn't stopped, even crazier that we haven't gotten to some of the real insane ENTERs. Looking forward to Zeno personally, although I won't be surprised if he shows up working for the enemy after getting brainwashed or something.
>>275145177>Schneider comes back>Gash still calls him Umagon>repeat all the jokes againI'm ready.
>>275145031>>275145177LET'SGOOOOOO
>>275146740>he can finally talk>never corrects Gash>fucks Kiyomaro up the moment he calls him a horse
>>275144896This arc is what Sanji's Mister Prince failed to becaptcha: pr0
the madman keeps doing it. every fucking chapter he keeps hitting those notes.Like dayum i never get bored of the enters.Also Barry Enter already in current top 3 enters.(Barry 3rd, fulgore 2nd and zatch 1st)
After this ENTERs and seeing how angry Sunbeam his I can't wait to see Umagon's fury unleashed when he revives and first thing he sees is Momon on the verge of death
>>275144985oh no
>>275144716there's gash bell sequel?
>>275145916plus Umagon/Schneider likely coming in shortly after, that is three strong powerhouses and Barry doesn't need any of his spells to kick ass
>>275146325yes he is just that good
ENTER count so far?
>>275145031RAPE!!
>>275147165started rereading the manga now, its not been 1 per chapter but i think its close to being average one every 2 chapters.
>>275145031Gustav bros, look at how huge our boys has become.
>>275146431Triple. Barry, Elle, Sunbeam
>>275146693I really wonder how long it'll take for us to get to Zeon. Probably not until near the end I'm guessing?
>>275145257>>275145916I think the big struggle right now will be fighting Libra. Moses will probably escape and a bunch of guards aren't a problem for Barry and Gash.
>>275145031My guy came up behind him like he's the Undertaker, what a glorious ENTER!
>>275145031why doesn't he just use a super tornado and kill every evil guy
>>275146823They already know his real name in the final chapter, although they still call him Umagon.
>>275147571Tio mentions it in the top panelIt kinda stuck as a nickname
>>275145031Time to slap some kings.
>>275145031>>275147543Thought the same thing. I do wonder how long it will take for Barry to get his spells back.
You gotta feel bad for competent villains sometimesThey aren't overly cruel, they second guess every action, they're analytical, they're careful, they're correct, they make every optimal choice but they still lose due to a sudden power of friendship moment out of nowhere I don't feel bad for incompetent villains, but you gotta feel something for the ones who were both smart and careful but still got fucked. Probably deserved but he acted appropriately the entire time.
>>275147755I'm more curious of the monster he had that ate spells and somehow incorporated them into itself, maybe it's somehow related to the giant worm that ate everyone's spells.
>>275147755The power of friendship sure looks like punching a hole into someone's chest.
>>275147755To be fair, this came down to a stroke of fortune for Momon and a stroke of misfortune for Moses that Barry was walking around. That's how life goes sometimes
>>275147061Yes and its full of kino ENTER moments
>>275145031>tfw you have the face of a true man
>>275145031>>275145043>>275145057>Barry ENTERS the Fray>Immediately devil lances Dr. Mengele10/10 chapter
>>275144819>>275144835Man, what the fuck? Raiku has never done any body horror quite on this level before.
>>275148004Since fucking whenI'm speadreading it right now to catch up for another threadsis it monthly? weekly?
>>275148421Since like 3 years ago. Started out monthly but he's been taking some off months in between chapters the past year or so. There's like 3 or 4 volumes out? Not sure. It's also self-published. But at any rate, it's been great to read with /a/
>>275148421It's been ongoing for a couple years now. It is monthly.
>>275147061There's always someone who discovers it in every thread.
>>275148573Raiku actually has a very good output rate so far even with the occasional break, which mostly happens when they're publishing a new volume.It's definitely not like certain other "monthly" series that split chapters in two and repeatedly go on break for undisclosed reasons...
>>275145188>LOOK AT ALL THESE ENTERS
>>275146325Novices in holy orders are allowed to withdraw before they take their confirmation (or whatever it is called). I had a teacher who was a novice nun for a while before she got married. I don't think Raiku cares for the intricacies of monastic orders though so I'm fine with it. >>275145177I dunno how I feel how Raiku and his team just default to making characters BUFFER to show their older. It works for Barry, but Sunbeam looks younger than he did in the first part here. It could just be his shirt though. Good chapter though!
>>275145031ENTERRRRRRRRRRRRRR3RD PLACE FOR THE GREAT DEMON KING SELECTION
>>275148236The first chapter of this had a kid getting dismembered. Definitely a sign of things to come. We likely haven't even seen the worst of it yet.
>>275145188What a fucking chad Momon has become. HOLY SHIT this story is so hype so far.
>>275145148>Ring on ring fingerSo she's either engaged or already married to Sunbeam.
>>275144854>"Invade the lair, grab some spells, have a few laughs..."
>>275147755His mistake was underestimating his opponent's backup.Momon was lucky. but Moses was also lucky that he didn't simply meet Barry's arm through his crystal when he got to the roof alone.I'm sure Libra is going to come breaking the roof soon, but that was a mistake on Moses' part.
>>275148993kek
>>275145113>>275145132>>275145148>>275145188I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING
>>275148875He was 18th place though
>>275145031ENTREE
>>275145177SHIN ENTERUGA
>>275148573>>275148585>>275148653I don't visit /a/ often and don't check out the newest mangos. I thought it's an another storytime of the original until I've noticed number 2.I'm happy I have another thing to look after and postponing an heroing myself even further
>>275145177Literal Gigachad enterImpressive chapter.
>>275147755>They aren't overly cruel
>>275145148So... they have a child, right? Momon is gonna be an inspiring older brother just like his hero Kiyomaro, right?
>>275145031Reminder that barry never lostHe decided to give up so Gash would win, he's actually got a flawless record
>>275144805Sasuga Moses-sama
I'm in Japan right now and saw this at the supermarket, so I decided to pick it up. After 20 years of leeching, finally putting a little bit of money in Raiku's pocket
>>275149342he exited early for the "le ebin sacrifice for the greater good trope"had raikou wanted him to stay around, he would've been in the last 3 anyway
>>275148154Still jobs to SPACE. LANCE.https://youtu.be/MURDGxx7FJo
>>275145031Question: Momon could feel Barry's demon presence. Even if he did not notice 3 other humans along, he should be able to notice Zatch's presence. Could this be explained by simply him being weakened? But he could feel Barry even though he was not expecting him.
>>275150575It's because of Barry's massive aura his iron fucking ballsAlso Gash is still technically dead and just borrowing the body of another
>>275145113Sweet, she's back.
>>275145031>>275147750I started this like>oh I'll do a funny little thing for the threadAnd it was fine with Moses.But when I got to Barry, jesus. Some mangakas are really something else, being able to draw such complex designs both consistently well and dynamically.
Did that team that was retranslating zatch bell ever finish?
>>275145177https://youtu.be/fhNrqc6yvTU?si=88HmodEcnwWCS3cF
>>275150837good job
>>275150837Pretty cool, anon.
>>275149018Assuming the bird was his backup was an accurate judgement. Anything more than that would be a wild assumption.
>>275150575Didn't they teleport in right after Barry arrived?
>>275145031>"He's standing right behind me isn't he?"
>>275145031>hey hear you have something against demons
>>275145031There's something kind of heartwarming about seeing Barry being chummy with Momon. Our boy has learned the power of friendship and not just out of respect for raw strength.
>>275150905Translator said on Twitter that it's supposed to be done this month
>>275151898All of it? Nice thanks. What's their account
>>275145031>>275145113>>275145177i know this is just a cashgrabber.i know raiku fell off and couldn't come up with any ideas after his failures, thats why he had to come back to this.i know i shouldn'r care that much... and yet i almost cried reading this shit. fuck you, raiku.
>>275150575It could be a situation of his powers being spread thin? He noticed Barry but he was also keeping tabs on all kinds of other things inside the building.
>>275151926Shit I guess it's just a volume my bad https://x.com/ZatchBellGamerX/status/1868019867213025404
>>275151976I wouldn't call it a cash grab, he's done other popular manga since gash, such as Animal Land. Doing Gash is really an uphill challenge since he's still kinda blacklisted by TOEI after he had to sue them so they won't allow any Gash adaptions now, he basically has to sell the manga himself. It feels like he really just wants to do more Gash for awhile.
>>275145031holy BASED what an ENTER
>>275145031This should have been more or less Brago's body type too, maybe a tad slimmer.
>>275146740My guess is that Umagon can't defend himself either as his mummy body probably is missing vocal cords or something
>>275145031You'd think SOMEBODY in the demon world could do something about those scars.Or at least fix his...horn? ear?
>>275152353No fuck you, I want umagon to finally be able to talk to his friends.
>>275152360He doesn't want them fixed, that is an eternal reminder of when he became an adult.
>>275152360He likes them. They're proof of his growth after his battle with Elzador.
>>275147596Everything about that guy in the chair is hilarious>>275148154Shame that the Kengan sequal is nowhere near as enjoyable as this
>>275145177sheer enterness made me tearyMY EYES CANT HANDLE IT!!
Raiku's illustration for New Year's
>>275152829>Everything about that guy in the chair is hilariousEven the part in the gash cafe where he was sad to realize how long its been since he was sealed and his parents are probably dead? That funny to you tough guy?
>>275149784Sherry should have gotten with Koko even if she was a panty thief, better than being a happy cuck
>>275145177ok I guess I'll be the party pooper herethis needs more shading, the pants in particular straight up look like a paper cutout connecting his torso and boots
>>275153163She probably didn't know it would turn out so awful. People like him don't pull that shit until you're locked in with kids and a house. Financially she's stuck with him and if she got a job and a shitty apartment the kids aren't gonna come with her after the divorce when they could live in an actual house.
>>275153114duck
>>275153143Haven't read those, so probably not.
>>275145031LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
>>275153248fuck off
>>275153909Gash Cafe are the deep lore>Teaches you each demons favorite foods>Gives unique interactions between all of them>Teaches you some odd lore stuff that the original series couldn't get around to>Sets up the sequel
>>275154039
>>275154053
>>275154064
>>275154072
>>275148236Animal Land was full of stuff like that thanks to the chimeras.
Best one is Coral Q and Leafboy
>>275154072Ah, was wondering where this panel was from.
>>275153143Not him, but a little bit yeah. The contrast between his characterization and the situation creates a form of comedy while still being a sad situation. It's a similar concept to gap-moe.
>>275148236Uuh I remember Animal Land is also pretty gore.>>275145031>>275145113>>275145177Enter.>>275145167Do the books automatically let them teleport to the location? I kinda forget. Wish we get that explained instead it just conventionally works.
>>275154039Guess I need to read it then
>>275154281https://mangadex.org/chapter/6eda2a42-9d6f-49b6-911e-8f3e6a753f0f/1https://mangadex.org/chapter/e5bc2190-b089-4dad-afd5-71c36046cb37https://mangadex.org/title/f1652fc3-5774-4f7a-90ef-a35a182f09ac/zatch-bell-gaiden-friendTakes like an hour at most to read all the bonus material that takes place between the original series and the sequel. Gash Cafe segments are pretty short, like five pages each.
>>275146325Probably she just quit from being a nun, Sunbeam is that GROOVY
>>275150837Nice
>>275145113That is 100% a mom haircut.
>>275154039>The two main villains interacting and having a normal conversationKino...
>>275154589I wouldn't call this a "Normal" conversation
>>275145177Just how fast is adult Umagon going to be?
>>275154116It started out as just cool animals and then those fucked up monster showed up in the Gorilla town and you knew shit was gonna go down. You see that monster design philosophy in Vector Ball too, I have a feeling that a lot of what he had planned for Vector Ball ended up in Zatch Bell 2, both in plot and designs. The villains are similar.
>>275154325I appreciate it. Thank you friend
How fucking jacked do you think Umagon will be and will he be like 10 feet tall standing on two legs?
>>275154732He's going to be normal horse sized.
>>275152047If i'm not mistaken one of the afterwords for Zatch Bell 2 says he has his own publisher now, so i agree with you.It really feels like Raiku just wants to make something again as a passion hobby project and decided to use Zatch since its popular enough and honestly, it's cool to see him again and how he evolved in drawing and making story.
>>275154589Hard to think of Zeon as an antagonist at this point. Even halfway through his own fight he was hardly an antagonist.
What each demon orders is one of the best parts>Monster energy mixed with red bull
>>275145031>>275145113>>275145177YESYEEEEESS
>>275154844>That Zofis phanelGod I can't to see how he'll look like after all this time and to know why he'll obviously be working for Beliel.
>>275154325I hope if we get an anime remake somedaythese Gash Cafe sections are animated after certain points in the anime Also seeing the King's partner is great
>>275145113>wedding bandGodbros...
>>275154870Monster+Red Bull gets me every time
>>275154969Zofis is ultimately a demon, he'll likely side with the demons. One of the more interesting parts of the sequel for me is how everyone is on the same side now, so even people that were villains before, or even people the heroes hated before, are going to be on their side. Heck you might even have a few "I was in my edgy kid phase back then" moments, where they've grown as people. Its a good chance to shake up a few alliances and not just have it be the main demons again, throw in a few curveballs, like Coral Q.
>>275145021This should probably say "divine aid"
>>275155231>"I was in my edgy kid phase back then"Oh my gosh, Leo is a prime candidate for that
>>275144716This guy is one of the best in the biz
>>275151976>fell off and couldn't come up with any ideas after his failuresAnimal land was serialized for a while, although I wasn't that impressed. Raikou straight up apologized for ending Vector Ball on a cliffhanger, he had too many complex ideas and couldn't find a way to express them in the story.Zacht Bell 2 is proof he's still got it.
>>275147061you are not ready for the King
>>275147563no spells :(
>>275149849it's okay to be cruel to your enemies
>>275155313Underage drinking with Barry!
>>275149849He was asking nicelyAnd he hasn't done it yet
>>275154072>pogchamp
Reminder barry is still stronger than brago in the sequel
fuck, wrong thread about demons, sorry.
>>275154626I would not be surprised if Vector Ball showed up later
>>275145079Love me a mad scientist character that fixes themselves up on the battlefield like it's nothing.
>>275156149 damn
>>275156243Happens all the time.Now look at this and forget you saw anything.
how many years is it going to be before we get the payoff for that Fern girl
I honestly don't know how raiku does it. You'd think with this much repetition and dependence on ENTER moments you'd think it would get stale by now but that first Barry panel has had me misty eyed, and I read that 20 minutes ago and I'm still stifling it.
>>275156429Even back when the original was running, he was already an emotional maestro, he could make you laugh, cry, or get hyped as he needed. He's just doing what he's always done, but now the context makes it hit us even harder
>>275151976It’s not really a cash grab, he has assistants he’s paying out of his own pocket and he’s so filthy rich he spends all his free time riding bikes. He literally has no reason to do this
>>275148145Well adult Buck is a cringe cuck though
>>275148703alright chud Kishiro is like half dead he literally draws a chapter or two every year
>>275153114remember when fucking Koreans got mad at the rising sun background lmao
>>275145031Holy shit, I didn't expect him.
>>275156318Did big boing appear in the sequel yet? She's my favorite female character
>>275145113>>275145177I love this manga so damn much.
But why did he make sherry a cuck
O MY TELEPORTING BOOKAFTER I'M NEAR DEATHBRING KIYOMARO & GASHALONG WITH MY PARTNER AND SUNBEAM AND UMAGON
>>275157869Raiku's mind works in magical ways (he probably really hates lesbians)
>>275157596is he apologizing or telling the Koreans to get over themselves
>>275157670eah
>>275157979the latter one
>>275154589That conversation is better characterization for Clear than he receives during the main story.
>>275158033well yeah, he doesn't want to explain himself during the main storysometimes your enemy doesn't get characterization because he's busy trying to kill you
>>275157670Yes, briefly in chapter 20 and 25.
>>275145057God as my witness he is broken in half.
>>275155313God I hope these two get to team up in the sequel.
>>275158066Yaay!
>>275158011based
>>275144782Fucking ouch.
>>275144819That thing can talk?!
>>275154039>>275154281>>275154325At this point I feel like the Gaiden chapter is more obscure then the Gash Cafes
>>275144985Fuck you Moses
>>275154870Koko and Zofis would be an interesting reunion.
>>275157897Asspullposting in Gash threads is basically impossible, since golden book already happened and everyone loved it
>>275145113>>275145167>>275145177THE ENTERSTHEY DON'T STOP
but will umagon talk?
>>275147755If it wasn't for Momon's last ditch gambit, Moses would have absolutely killed him here. This was very much down to it being a stroke of pure luck on Momon's part that Barry was close by.
MOMON YOU WERE BRAVE AND STRONG AND TENACIOUS. GOOD JOB BUDD.
>>275150837Perfect.
>>275158592If he doesn't, I will cry.
>>275158592Yes, and he's going to really mad when Moses calls him "Umagon"
>>275158528I think a key part of what makes the Golden Book not feel like an asspull despite absolutely being one, is because Clear himself got like 5 different horseshit asspull moments himselfIt made him extra hatable and it made it extra satisfying to watch his shit get pushed in by the Golden book
>>275156183I'd love to get into Shaman King again but all the spinoffs and sequels are confusing
>>275158528half of 100 demons were defeated by gash and his friend. yet somehow those new demons in faudo arc are super strong and experienced also have multiple spells, compared to gash that only awaken new one when cornered by strong enemy(usually)
>>275152047so we will never get Gash Bell 2 adaption? FUCK
>>275159069probably need another remake for the first one first.
>>275147755They're competent villains, but they keep getting royally fucked by ENTERS. Eventually they're going to run out of ENTERS.
>>275159109>>275159069>>275152047Raiku being blacklisted by Toei is speculation, and doesn't make much sense since he sued his manga publisher, not Toei who had the anime and some other game etc rights
>>275144805dork
>>275158455it was speaking spell names the past few chapters
>>275158976Shaman King >Zero > Mappa Douji > Kazenbang > Shaman King & a garden > FLOWERS > Red crimson >The Super Star (up to chapter 27) > Marcos > The Super Star (the rest) > S.K.Y. (this is the next series, has not started yet)
>>275159438Toei having the rights is just as bad as Raiku being blacklisted from the standpoint of a good anime adaptation desu
>>275160123God this is what I mean that sounds like a fucking messcan you tl;dr what each thing exactly is?
>>275160284"Shaman King" is the original Series (Required) "Zero" + "Mappa Douji" is collection of prequel stories for the main protagonist + the main villain (Mappa Douji is Required)"Kang Zeng Bang": Original series never had a proper ending, it suddenly cut off at "Princess Hao" Ending mid the plot of the last arc, Kang Zeng Bang is the official continuation of the original series till its proper conclusion (also 1 fight that was skipping the original series is added here) (Required) "& a garden" (also "FAUST8") are a collection of Prequel stories for the "Team Flower" girls and Fausto VIII Respectively (not required but pretty good) "FLOWERS" Is the official sequel to the series, set up the new main plot and new characters, it abruptly end cause the magazine it was published on was."Red Crimson": Flowers Set Up requires A LOT of new and Old characters to recruit, this things happens all in Parallel between different groups but all works towards the main plot established in FLOWERS, Red Crimson is one of those "Side Stories" (Required) The Super Star: The Main Continuation to FLOWERS, Follows the main Protagonist. (Required)MARCOS: Same as Red Crimson, is a parallel work of events happening outside of the main protagonist but that will still tie tie inon the last 3 Vols of The Super Start all the plot line from Red Crimson and MARCOS blend into the series, Series end with the Teams ready to go to the place of the main Tournament S.K.Y. The direct continuation to The Super Star, it has not started yet.
>>275160449MARCO is Required
>>275144819I thought that was his fuck hole
>>275160449I agree with that anon, it is indeed confusing.
>>275160162Toei lost the rights to the series last year. Kind of a shame, I think modern Toei would do a pretty good job
>>275161275how the fuck did that happen?also:when was the last time that Toei made anything that was even watchable
>>275161194if I were to set up the events in a Time line So again, Reading order Shaman King > Zero and (Mappa Douji) > Kang Zeng Bang > Flower > Red Crimson > The Super Star (up to chapter 27) > MARCOs > The Super Start (the rest)
>>275160162I half agree with you since the one piece anime "exists" and world trigger seasons 1, 2, and 3 exist.
>>275161325the original anime adaptation of Gash Bell also exists
>>275161337I don't know if I could call it the best adaptation it could have received, but it is a good one since we good renditions of folgore's and vicotreen's songs out of it.
>>275161374please, sincerely, kill yourself
>>275161381??? Im saying that one piece's anime doesn't have the best track record and that's also reflected in world trigger season 1, but God damn season 2 and 3 are good adaptations of their source material.
>>275161381oh, Im retarded, misinterpreted what the reply was to. Fuck I'm even more confused. >>275161381 What the fuck are you angry about anon?
>>275161405>>275161427the anime adaptation of Gash Bell is abhorrent dogwater with zero redeeming qualities, only watchable by the most smooth-brained of childrenI would know, I was one of them before it suddenly got pulled from the air
>>275161452The music sections are nice.
>>275161452Ok. clearly I shouldn't have used good. Maybe saying it was mediocre or even mid would have been less piss in your milk.
Is this manga just a bunch of memberberries? Pretty cringe ngl.
>>275156090Yeah but Brago mogs Barry's gains and is the true giganigga of the cast now
>>275161381the original storyline gets massively improved while the fillers are so damn bad. I don't understandt.
>>275144835What an utterly impractical but cool method to summon minions
>>275145021There he is
>>275154072>>275154085It's a real shams though. Clear Note is a pretty lousy final villain but these pages make him a lot cooler, wish the exchange was somewhere in the actual story.
>>275150837kek
>>275145177It's time to get GROOVY, Umagon!
>>275145167>>275145177>>275145188Wait a minute... TIO WHERE ARE YOU?! A BROTHER IN ARMS IS DYING IN THE SNOW, HIS LEG TIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>275163505just feed him and he will go back to prime in a week
>>275145043damn he does not fuck around lol
>>275153248Raiku does have a problem with shading in 2, might be because of the lack of assistants. One spread that looked particularly bad because of it was when Ashuron showed up and 90% of the page was unshaded triangles
>>275163533>t.
>>275145031Feels good being a BarryCHAD
Will momon and barry get their own book?
>>275145031ok i have to ask, where does the flesh end and the clothes start?he has scars everywhere
>>275164174imo it's all skin, yes even his collar, he's scarred even in the black parts
This manga is just a bunch of ENTERing
>>275163933Momon sure, Sister's there. Barry I doubt it, Gustav's not there and he can get by just fine with his fists. He'll probably fuck off after this fight (and maybe slapping Gash around some) and show up again at some other time.
>>275164691Barry is genuinely such a force multiplier even without his book that he needs to either get asspulled out of the story or leave to save the other remaining demon survivors. Just like how Sherry and Brago need to be doing their own thing. But when Barry comes back for the final fights with Gustav in tow, oh lord.
>>275164174Barry has always been naked
>>275144884>tfw light rolling
>>275145177Nice. Looking forward to this fight. Even if Umagon was my least favorite of the main cast, Sunbeam is such a cool motherfucker. Moses is 120% fucked.Hopefully now that all of part 1's most important characters have been assembled to some degree, we'll finally slow down, catch our breaths, and stop to talk for a bit. I don't mind nonstop action, but there's some questions I'd like to see answered.
>>275145098>>275145113I honestly thought it was Barry grabbing the vial from Momon and Momon hallucinating sister holding his hands kekDidn't realize it was actually her until the others showed up
>>275164174It's possible that one thing or another is clothing, but most demons are naked unless stated or shown otherwise.
>>275145031
>>275145031My boy is back and better than ever!
>>275145031Shin Enteruga
>>275162492>Clear Note is a pretty lousy final villainDid you really dont understand he is bassically a spell take over?
>>275171553Not that anon but I don't like the mentality that if someone doesn't like a villain it's because they don't understand their gimmick, or alleged gimmick in this case. I don't know if that anon happens to subscribe to your brand of headcanon but it's completely unrelated to liking or disliking the idea. Heck someone can even like the idea but the execution is terrible.
I love the new cafe stuff too
>>275172837
>>275172884
With the maincast mostly assembled outside of the arc allies who would you personally like to see make a return?For me it's the legend himself
>>275173096Honestly, I want more of the one-off enemies. Having them as allies is so cool and really gives them a chance to shine.
>>275173096That guy who called himself an elite and had 8 spells but lost to early Gash still lives rent free in my head, would love to see him.
>>275173096Zofis or Leo have the most interesting potential for character dynamics and development.>>275173245But yeah also Eshros or Mars too, given they'd be less serious bad guys to team up with, and could still lead to good character moments.
how would you guys rate zatch bell 2?I was holding off on it. do you recommend it and hold it in high regard?
>>275173431If you read the original series and enjoyed any of it's moments you will like this.It's a sequel that doesn't suck and just gives you more of the previous series.The only grumble is the long distance between chapters but it's worth the wait.
>>275173431Its shockingly just as soulful as the original
>>275172920Gash Cafe is the best use of extra pages I have ever seen on a manga.
>>275172192>your brand of headcanon but it's completely unrelated to liking or disliking the idea. Heck someone can even like the idea but the execution is terrible.Read his explanation to Gash, I can see this new generation thinking he is very relatable
>>275173431>how would you guys rate zatch bell 2?I will wait for chapter 147, that is the moment Gash Bell one became legendary
>>275164957>picThis should happen.
>>275145031>>275145113>>275145177I kneel. Raiku is the KING of ENTER.
I liked Barry's SHIN ENTERUGA but I have mixed feeling about Elle, Kiyo, Zach and Groovy. I think the spellbook ability to insta teleport people within entering rage is something that came out a bit out of nowhere in this sequel. It's like it exists just for the sake of creating serial entering sprees, which are great when they feel natural but lack a little omph when there is an unexplained new gimmick created just for it.
>>275175552I can see where you're coming from but the books could already transport people between worlds in the original. It's just more directly supporting them this time.
>>275173527>>275173559>>275174333I'll take your word for it.no other series made me cry as much abd hard as this one. a good sequel is difficult to achieve so I'm glad zatchbell still got it.the other series that managed this was sumire 16/17.
>>275145031>>275145177>how many ENTERS do you want?>yes
>>275145113>ringDid she marry Sunbeam?
>>275175552Based on what the book said before, the books are on the side of humans and demons but ultimately they're only allowed to interfere in very small ways typically. The one behind the books is a higher dimensional entity that watches over the characters, but is t allowed to interfere too much. If they interfere too much it puts them at a big risk themselves, they have to make it fair.Feels like the guy behind the books is trying to cheat slightly for the demons in a way that isn't too obvious by allowing the books to be warp gates between worlds. He wants to help out the demons a lot but he can't make it too obvious.The book has to keep things fair, I suppose he's using the logic that since the villains are allowed to travel between worlds, the heroes should be given that right as well.
>>275176351
>>275176393
>>275176413
>>275176428
>>275176351>>275176393>>275176413>>275176428>>275176450Thanks for the recap, those gash café extra are great sources of insight. I wonder if Dauwan's name was intended to be Dawn, it sounds coincidentally close in how it's pronounced and Dawn Bell has a nice ring. Also it's a shame we don't know any more about Willy, his human partner. Probably got all those scars from demon battles.
>>275158528The entire series is basically asspulls, the spell system itself is just character development asspulls, no one bats an eyelid to the golden book because the power system the story established is more like a representation of character growth rather than something you get through training or whatever like most other shounen.It’s why people willshit on deku gaining 7 quirks out of nowhere while Kiyo gaining 8 new spells out of nowhere and immediately knowing how to use them in the Faudo arc was cool as fuck
Faudo liquid restoring heart energy was the worst asspull in the series. They should've just gotten more determined.
My favorite least favorite asspull moment is when the device to return Faudo to the demon world returned Faudo to the demon world. Literally zero foreshadowing.
>>275177233True, but Kiyomaro chugging the whole bottle to wail on Rodeaux a little longer was one of it's peaks.
>>275177233Nah, Faudo liquid is way better. Faudo is like a demi-god so it makes sense. They were getting fucked up physically and Kiyo straight up died. You don't get out of that with determination
I wonder if Zeon will appear in the sequel.
>>275178344He dead
>>275173096I feel like one of the really early starter villains showing up is inevitable. I would bet Reycom as the very first villain but his book owner was too evil to be a good guy, so I'd probably bet on Sugino showing up. Duos I'd like to see would be the panther hunter duo and a reformed White and Vino.
>>275179016So is like half the cast.
>>275173096Wonrei and Ted will probably return, as Earth.Personally, Laila, Rops, Cherish and Rein. And Belgim E.O. just for shit and giggles.
>>275146555>get demon backup>it's that ugly useless frankenbaby from the first couple chapters
>>275173096forgot his name, the earth guy who beat zatch and kiyo at the beginning but his book master burned his own book because he was tired of being controlled and was a good guy.I want a redemption enter
I really want to see villain ENTERs soon, I want to see someone like Rodeaux team up with gash
>>275178344>>275179016Zeon will show up just to one up Gash as a 12 feet chad.
>>275181013Fein?
>>275181013I bet you either Zelie or Olmo have really OP spells. 100% one of them is going to come back partnered with Kiyo's egyptian assistant.
>>275163505>TIO WHERE ARE YOUTio has a long memory. Hell hath no fury...
>>275146991>Barry 3rd, fulgore 2nd and zatch 1stYou're forgetting the biggest ENTER of all
>>275173096I'm not sure why but I want to see Keith contribute in some way. He was a douchebag but he wasn't evil so I'm curious to see what he turned into.
>>275177452>the device to return Faudo to the demon world Was that the full title or was it longer? TDTRFTTDW seems right I suppose.
>>275181746I just want to see how he changed now that Gash is king
>>275176058i'd say what makes this sequel great is that you can tell it was a story the author wanted to tell.it's self published so raiku answers to no one but himself
>>275183847It's self published? I didn't know mangaka could do that. Fuck yah.
>>275158528it's an asspull but it's also a great moment. also it's not too bad because it makes sense a fight for choosing a king could have democracy as a powerup
>>275183934his situation is a bit unique, he won a lawsuit against the magazine and got full rights of the series back to him. he probably got blacklisted by the industry in the process, so i wouldn't hold out for an anime anytime soon, but he's luckily at a level where he doesn't need big publishers.mamga volumes for the sequel are selling very well too, so he's set
>>275184032Good for him. It's always great to hear about someone owning their work.
>>275184032When asked about a new anime he basically said "Ask TOEI about it" as though he literally has no control of it anymore, or they won't even consider it if its him asking. No one knows the exact story but it feels like studios avoid him now, which is why he has to self publish everything, but he's one of the few people big enough that he CAN actually do it.
>>275154072Clear really suffered from coming in so late out of nowhere.The Animal Land villain felt like a more realized version of what he wanted to do with Clear.
>>275184348Nah, Clear is the ultimate product of evolution(destruction), he can't love anything which is why he feels nothing breaking things, he has no feeling about it to begin with.Giller in his own fucked up way had love, which is why he had to kill others. I don't remember all of it at this point, but his dad was a good guy, they got rich, and his dad became a dick, for some reason he killed his dad, and in his final moments he saw his dad once more become the guy he once was, he realized people will only be good at the edge of death or when they fear death, when they're greedy and selfish they're only evil people, but at the edge of death they can once again become human. He pitied everyone he met, he saw the current world as fucked up where the weak can only prey on the strong, a world where eating others to live as necessary, he was far too nhilistic. But the ultimate point for understanding him, he had memories from before he was born, he knew heaven existed, he knew there was an afterlife, its messed up but because he knew that, he felt rigteous in ending people and sending them there where at least they could be in peace and not killing and eating each other to survive. I feel like he saw the world as a curseGiller is a moral nhilist that saw death as salvationClear is a moral nhilist who never cared about anything to begin with, so he may as well end everything. He didn't receive joy from it necessarily but he just felt nothing towards it, everything, he had no appreciation of anything, no love towards anything, no value towards anything, which is why anything before him was just something to erase eventually.
>>275184348I think Clear is exactly what Raiku needed him to be, which is an excuse for a big bombastic finale. Everyone is basically complete as a character after Faudo but a series of friendly fights between the main cast would've fell flat as an ending, so he made a big powerful asshole who could only lose in the most glorious and hype way possible.
>>275184610Clear felt nothing but very obviously became consumed by his pwn power, Brago and Kiyo and Gorm’s partner all make a mention about his shift in personality. In a way I think Raiku meant for Clear to be a mirror to how Gash was almost consumed by his own Baou.
>>275184610
>>275184872It also worked thematically since it meant that Gash became king through the support of the people rather than brute force.
>>275184872Clear truly was everything Raiku needed him to be, he even gave Clear a baby partner to explain why he didn’t immediately start fucking everything up the moment he landed on earth, which is fucking hilarious.
Is raiku a furry?
>>275173245he won actually, but his book owner just decided "yeah, but you are shit demon so I will burn my own book"
>>275185306Sort of? He sure as hell loves animals, but not in the same way a furry does. It's closer to the sort of childish fascination you could have for animals growing up. You know, the healthy kind of animal love.
>>275186313He made Ena hot as fuck though
>>275186440Isn't that (you) being a furry though?
>>275186530You telling me this nigga draws by accident?
>>275161311I knew that new anime was a bad idea, and not just because they half-assed the thing
>>275185306>no snoutNot a furry.
>>275160449WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON
>>275145188Thank you for posting.
>>275184610damn this guy seems Thalmor-pilled, I should really read Animal Land
>>275185306Nah
>>275184938From that one Gash Cafe I thought that Clear erased his own empathy and shit with his powers as a kid/baby, so he grew up fucked up.
>>275186191Also known as lost
>>275190242Thalmor are amoral nihilists and theocratic zealots of the worst sort, willing to destroy all the underpinnings of their reality for an apotheosis and salvation they probably won’t even get
>>275146693>Looking forward to Zeno personally, although I won't be surprised if he shows up working for the enemy after getting brainwashed or somethingI'm waiting for Gash and Kiyo to bring in Zeno to save Dufourt only to see Dufourt just beat the team on his own.
>>275153163She can save herself by pulling a Lien and taking in Brago meat.
>>275157913Raiku dabbing on /u/ troons a bit too hard.
>>275192993By showing how terrible men are? Damn, het sisters, I think we got too cucky...
>>275158528>since golden book already happened and everyone loved itThe thing about the golden book is that despite being an asspull it also helps justify the series. Early on there was a lot of talk about how the tournament was wrong. However thanks to the golden book Gash wins the tournament not by being the strongest, but by being the one most worthy to be king. Because of this even though it is an asspull it fits really well in the story.
>>275185306Hyena girl was the only hot lady animal, so no I don't really think its his thing.
>>275154085I always did love how much further Raiku was always willing to push the more “demonic” aspects of Zeon compared to Gash since he’s not an MC. Something as simple as his sharp teeth akin to Sonic gives him that slight bit of edge that makes him appear less human.
>>275173096Barry was the one I was looking forward to the most. Now rather than a return, I'd love to see a character we never met in the original join the crew, even if its for a short while.Maybe a few chapters with Brago and someone he eliminated.
>>275193304Funnily enough, gash can turn his teeth sharp too. So, is Zeon consciously keep his teeth sharp permanently?
>>275193235Also it's the name of the series, Golden Gash. Konjiki no Gash!!At the end of the story he gets the gold book and becomes golden gash. It's a detail that gets lost when everyone just calls it by the dub title.
>>275178344>>275179016He’s absolutely being saved as some mind controlled enemy for the cast to face.
>>275145031>>275161290>when was the last time that Toei made anything that was even watchableThis year, Dragon Ball Daima.
>>275193410It’d would be very fitting for such a grumpy kid to keep his appearance as edgy as a six year old is capable of imagining. >>275193410
>>275186191Yeah but his strongest spell lost to a zakeru lmao
>>275193459This plus maybe a warped Baou. Now that would be an arc villain.
>>275145031LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>275192725yeah that's based
>>275194235gigano reisu lost to zakeru once
I wish they completed the manga in englisg
>>275197491We'll have to do it ourselves.
>>275193472daima is fine but the pacing is still glacially slow, it took about 5 episodes to finally get the plot going somewhere
>>275199866I fear it'll stay like that.
>>275201554i checked out after episode 6 or something, i was tired of the constant lore dumps and setting up shit to set up more shit to set up more shit jesus fuck just get to the point.you could probably cut daima down into 10 episodes tops
>>275193410Their dad can also change his height at will so that's possible.
>>275203143>Gash will be able to become taller than Tio at willRuined
>>275203427>Gash shrinks around Tio out of fear.
>>275148154HE'SANO- ONTHERLEVEL
