End of chapter.Tokiyuki was not on screen. Where's Tokiyuki.
>>283970241>In order to become a true hero>The hero must lose everything So now we're dealing with the real historical Minamoto no Takeuji?
>>283969850>TL note: "aniue" means older brother
>>283970294If only the "he made Takauji a strawman" anon were here for this...Always bet on eyeball-sensei
>>283970432Always have been.
>>283969890Are those indians, of which millions are being killed?
>it's kino
>>283970675Black plague, I think
>>283969758I like the mirroring to Tokiyuki that Takauji didn't want to he the next leader/head of his clan
>>283970690BRAVO
>>283970294True Takauji might become even scarier opponent than God Takauji
Oldkauji...
>>283972080BRAVO KOJIMA
Gotta say I am partially glad we finally got the flashback of Takauji's possession that was being hinted at for ages but it was placed at such a weird spot in the story. Feels like it should've been told earlier.
>>283970176>>283970212>>283970241>>283970294Our fucking hero. I love him already and hope he kills that fucking greedy brat with the 3 wives.
>>283972769>Takauji becomes humanized as he loses his divine power>also, history says this is when Takauji became far more calmer, and began to have more health problemsI think it's fine. Would love to see some more flashbacks from Takauji's POV.
>>283969969>Nah, I'd win.
>>283969880He's doing his best to keep himself from doing one of his grossed out expressions in front of his friends.
>>283970294>Where's Tokiyuki.Canon Tokiyuki was already dead at this point of history, hence why he has angel wings on top of his phoenix wings.
>>283974005>the Tokiyuki knock-off already killed Tokiyuki and boasts about it to Takauji in hopes to cheer him up>Takauji falls into a further depression
>>283974112>Tokiyuki also killed Takauji's inner demon so he could be the only thing in Takauji's headThis is Batman and Joker levels of obsession between enemies.
>>283974467>What do you mean Tokiyuki is dead? Nobody could kill that literal who brat...Nobody except for me...>...fuck this gay earth, Tadafuyu just kill me alreadyhow did you know i was he->just do it
>>283974005>we don't even get to see tokiyuki dieWHAT'S THE POINT
>>283975125It's 7D chess>constantly tease whether Tokiyuki will live or die>now we reach his death year and we STILL don't knowTruly avant-garde
>>283975125Schrödinger's brat. Tokiyuki will be dead and alive at the same time with characters constantly referencing him but without direct confirmation until the box is opened in the final chapter.
>>283975125We're gonna be told Tokiyuki died due to dehydration after having way too much sex with his 3 wives
>>283969816Cute elf.>>283970294He is busy having sex with his three wives.
>>283976325
>>283969789>tadauji always wanted to be tokiyuki
>>283970294manthat was pretty damn greathow does matsui come up with this stuff
>>283976325>>283976419>>283976477>elfgoblin
>>283970294Will Tokiyuki even want to fight him anymore? The demon is gone and Takauji has chilled out. Tokiyuki was willing to forgive Go-Daigo and papa Nitta. I don't see why he'd continue holding a grudge against Takauji.
>>283978416They both still want to kill each other
>>283977535It helps that he plans his stories out to the end in advance. This Takauji was in his head the whole time he was writing and drawing schizoTakauji.>>283979272There's different levels to this. Sadamune never stopped wanting to kill Tokiyuki, but he became less intense about it over time.
I was wondering, how many chapters do you think are left until the manga ends? Do you think it will make it to its anniversary? And which characters do you want on the next volume cover?
Where's Matsui's comment?
>>283980827It's extremely unlikely that we get a new batch this year, and with a break week on december and two in january it's possible that Elusive ends exactly on the week of its anniversary (it began serialization in january 25, and its next anniversary will land in a sunday, meaning that the chapter will be available to nips on monday january 26).
>>283970294My HERO (and Tokiyuki)
>>283970212>>283970241>>283970294I always knew the real Takauji was just. This is the hero we deserve, not that shitty Hojo scum. Reminder that the only good Hojo is a dead Hojo.
>>283980827>glances at new batchMaybe we're going to get that modern descendant spinoff after all.More seriously, it ending on its anniversary seems perfectly feasible. And that's the sort of thing I could see Matsui wanting to do.>the next volume coverIf he hadn't already done the Ko brothers, I'd say them. So Fubuki and his sister. Gotta save Myozuru for later.
Did the devil also make him a homo who wanted blowjobs from Myozuru or whatever his name was
>>283980827>Do you think it will make it to its anniversary?Yes.>which characters do you want on the next volume cover?Yoritsugu's due for one, but I don't think it'd be befitting.>>283981410>removing the demon also drastically lowered Takauji's sex drive>Myozuru has an existential crisis
>>283981410No. That was pure Ashikaga virility.
>>283981410That was just part of the Japanese culture of the time. Having a cute boywife was a sign of wealth and power.
>>283970106I can't help but think they are the reason he went that far
>>2839808273 chapter at best, I thinkI would like to have Tokiyuli and Takauji (earlier version) on the cover
why is he called Sadauji when he's clearly happy
>>283982340You should be shamed of that joke
>>283981410The devil already does turn you into a homo so yes.But also nips stuck their dicks in anything back then. Flash forward and now they refuse to stick it in anything.
>>283982830no, they still have plenty of sexit's kids that they aren't having
>>283982002id say more than that. Less than 10
>>283983177Me in a few weeks. Not even joking. This is the only WSJ manga I read.
>>283970294No comment this week?
>>283983420Viz hasn't posted them yet. But here is last week's.
All polygamous people are evil
>>283984343I'm not gonna stand here and listen to you badmouth the greatest Khan the world has ever known
>>283984343Then both Tokiyuki and Takauji would be evil. Concubines definitely count. Boywives too.
>>283984343Bro, smaurais of high status all had concubines. What, you think if the main wife can't give birth to sons then they'll just accept it?
>>283982340He's in pain on the inside.
>>283984343>>283985373>Tadayoshi really was the only good guy
>>283985373This is one of those instances where "it was a different time" actually makes sense, huhI imagine it was normal for everybody to think that, if the wife can't provide an heir in a certain period of time, then concubines were the answerBut I do wonder why they didn't consider divorce an option as often as they could have? Was it because of honor? Love? Political marriages?
>>283986463>Was it because of honor? Love? Political marriages?Any of those. If you have a military alliance based on marrying the daughter or sister of the lord in the province next to you, are you really doing to divorce her?
>>283986463>Political marriages?This mostly. Marriages were used for a number of purposes; to help cool off hostilities between two rival clans, to further strengthen the bonds between friendly ones, as a reward for good and loyal service, as an attempt to get into the good graces of and gain influence over a more powerful clan or even the emperor. A divorce in any of these situations would be a political disaster that would put both families in a worse position than they'd have been in had the marriage never happened in the first place.
>>283985373>None of Tokiyuki's 3 wives were able to conceive for yearsHow many village women did he try to knock up on the side
>>283987638His sperm are just that good at escaping responsibility, it will take the combined spiritual energy of the two maidens supporting the tall one leg locking and breeding him for three whole nights to get a single daughter.
>>283988802b-but I'm not gay
>>283987638All of them. But his idea of flirting is showing them his notes on how great his retainers are. His three wives are the only women in Japan that can handle his autism.
>>283990644Great and surprisingly creepy
>>283991488Is it ever a surprise when something involving Takauji is creepy?
>>283993076It's more surprising in that Takauji isn't the creepiest part of the image>Takauji looking kinda bored or somber>Tadayoshi, Moronao, and Moroyasu however look ESTATIC with big smiles and small pupils, like they're looking at the grestest thing everKino, if you will
>>283970212no wonder he looked familiar
>>283970294I hate the supernatural aspects of this series so much. It had the makings of a good historical drama. It also removes Taka's agency by putting him under a curse.
>>283994573>It had the makings of a good historical drama.It's been supernatural since the first two chapters.
>>283990644ehehehe
takauji's va is voicing the same character in ninja vs yakuza by the way
>>283994835Alright I'll check it out, AnonIt better be good! Or else...
>>283994711This is how most complaints seem to me. It's like they came from another dimension where 1/3 to 1/2 of this manga was substantially different from the one I've been reading.
>>283981144>>283983420
>>283998150That sounds gross and unhealthy. Is Genba Matsui's self insert?
>>284001013That makes sense. I didn't realize he hadn't already had a cover.
>>283981410>>283981715>>283982830every nation's elite's favorite pastime is kiddiddleryrelease the epsteinmaru list, takauji!
>>283994573>I hate the supernatural aspects of this series so much. It had the makings of a good historical drama. It also removes Taka's agency by putting him under a curse.But the supernatural aspect is what elevates it from being a generic samurai drama.At least this epilogue should be to your tastes since Takauji is acting on his own?
>>284004350That would just be a census.
>>284004350It's so sad that Epsteinmaru decapitated himself three times...
>>284004608>Takaujifags complain that Takauji was too over the top and an unfair depiction>turns out it was the demon (something the characters said several times)>elderly, human, rational, normal Takauji will be the biggest threat to the main cast>might even get more Takauji flashbacks from his POV20D chess.
>>283970054>>283970106Isn't this every kid's dream? I miss the good old days when I still believed that I would become the first world ruler one day.
>>283995973They might be from a timeline that wasn't eaten by Takauji and history unfolded differently. Including the making of this manga.
>>284006869That would explain a lot. Thank goodness Tokiyuki put a stop to all that foolishness.On a related note, if that anime gets that far, the 4th wall breaks have the potential to get very surreal.
>>284007904I wonder if the director can come up with something more creative than Takauji reading the anime screenplay and shoving it into his mouth in disapproval, because I can't think of any other way it could be adapted.
>>284005039Any honorable samurai would do at least that much.Clintongawa-sama wouldn't lied about this!
>>284004608I mean it's at the tail end of the manga though. Anyone who wanted that kind of takakuji probably checked out by now unless they were completionists. At most I'd bet it's ten chapters of this. At worst, maybe three or two. Waiting a whole series for what amounts to one mini arc of the content they actually wanted to see would feel kinda wasteful
>>284008237I like Takauji doing some kind of live action Max Headroom-esque interruption before cutting back to the anime with a "corrected" scene.
>>284008237Takauji's VA cosplaying as him standing over an animator at work threateningly placing his hand on their shoulder.
>>284008237>instead of recreating the segments where Takauji grabs panels and text boxes and eats them, the anime has him erase and redraw the entire scene like in the looney tunes>instead of having normal people be confused at Takauji for talking to himself and eating air, they question him where did he get a notebook from and why he's drawing in the middle of battle
>>284010127
>>284010155Yoshi...
When are the femdom doujins coming out?
>>284011398>Elusive Samurai>getting good doujinPick one.
>>284011455Surely the claw woman gets to have a single good doujin?
>>284011474No...she'll get nothing...We have to either make or commission stuff because it's never going to happen otherwise.
Actually scratch that, I just remembered THE good doujin.
50 more shota yaoi gangbang doujins on the way
>>284011861>I will have to have to the actual manga more than the fan contentThis is an evil timeline
>>284011861You say this like it's a bad thing.
>>284011770It's like a mine full of diamonds but all the miners are all busy licking the pebbles at the entrance.
