What are your thoughts on this latest chapter so far?

He made exactly the same characters as red hood, shota whose entire personaility is being the hero and stoic girl that never changes expression but instead of a giant gorilla is a flat girl, so no he didn't learn anything
>>282973476
All (good) authors try to give it their own personal touch when they use these tropes so even when you've read them dozens of times it can feel somewhat unique about it, what did kawaguchi add to the "demon/berserk form" cliche?
>>
>>282972457
Look how happy he is.

He learnt that at least but just that, he didn't bother to learn or anything else that was wrong in redhood.

this is the perfect opportunity for OTR to refuse getting his arm reattached. As a lesson and to grow a spine (plus maybe a cool flame-arm on-demand later on)

Like I said last week, the monster form is ultimately unimportant, it was just the opportunity to do something cool and slightly edgy. Nice fight sequence this week, if nothing else.

No real indication of OTR getting axed still, at the same time that several other manga are definitely ending within weeks. I don't know how long OTR will run, but it looks like it probably dodged the second axe.

Grimm had more personality than Etupirko
>>
>>282973016
Oozaru Goku isn't a fair comparison since Dragon Ball was the untested follow up to one of Shonen Jump's top 5 biggest series to date at that point, and everyone trusted Toriyama to bring the goods. It was also foreshadowed earlier in the series (with Gohan's death), and Dragon Ball was supposed to end with the Emperor Pilaf arc before its insanely positive reception got Toriyama to continue the series.

All these comparisons for why Otr wont be axed are so retarded.

Sakamoto wasn't a 2k seller, and its a comedy manga, Otr is an action/adventure manga.

Not a WSJ series.

The heroine calming down a shonen protagonist's demon transformation with her lust pheromones(power of friendship/love) is a staple shonen trope too. Just like sexopirco did here.

>>282988062
If anything, this transformation lasting longer would be a flag for the axe. (I.E, people think Sukuna coming out and 'killing' Yuji in the Detention Arc early on in JJK was because it was close to getting axed.)
It ending pretty quickly makes me think we still got time.

This and that part where Otr gained iron power look pretty awesome. This spread is the reason why Otr got a color page in chapter 18.

a nothing antagonist, the art is good when it comes to impactful moments or expressions, when it comes to action scenes or landscapes, it's unintelligible. I would like to see OTR's / the others goals redefined again, because it seems too vague, the lesser known characters (cowardly book guy/ wind guy, etc) should have more character building scenes, otherwise it'll just be like Wild Strawberry (all the trappings of a shounen without any reader investment)
The villains last lines:
>I got to see your real face, you were smiling
I don't know what he was trying to say at all here, liking war is a virtue for vikings. Furthermore, him doing a self-sacrificial move doesn't really make sense? He was characterized as cowardly, it doesn't fit
>>
>>282995224
I would like to see purpose and characterization similar to that from the first chapter, it feels like this sort of thing has been gradually declining since the iron arc, when you don't have a good arc premise and setting like that, the lack of character depth is really felt

He was offended by Otr's offer for mercy and saw it as some sort of a moral superiority stance. To prove Otr wrong gave him satisfaction before death, in addition to his personality that likes angering people. As for Otr he isn't above fighting or killing people. But he doesn't want unnecessary bloodshed
>Furthermore, him doing a self-sacrificial move doesn't really make sense? He was characterized as cowardly, it doesn't fit
His methods are cowardly, not his dedication to his conviction. Especially after his whole outlook of life got insulted from his viewpoint.
