Going to storytime the manga in conjunction with the new anime season so anons can compare and contrast, or experience the story in multiple different ways simultaneously.Today: chapter 98-99
Weekly Shonen Sunday #41, 1989
>>284658339>SprigganOne of my oldest manga acquisitions was the Viz translation of "Striker", fond times.
>>284658472>a duck is fine toot. Tendou Soun
Weekly Shonen Sunday #42, 1989
>>284658905Mousse is a terrifying simp for that retard
To be continued... eventually
Why is Shampoo such a bitch?
>>284659009Why is Shampoo giving the zamn face?
>>284658339As already mentioned, Spriggan by Hiroshi Takashige and Ryoji Minagawa. It had run for 4 chapters in early 1989, but then taken a fairly lengthy break before finally returning this issue. Fully translated into English by Seven Seas.>>284658690Kenta Yarimasu by Takuya Mitsuda, scanlated up to chapter 5.First 5 chapters got storytimed a about a month ago: https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/284071247
>>284658540The translation of the "homely chick" panel is weird, Ranma calls duck Akane the usual "uncute", why was it translated as "homely chick"? is it because he also calls her アヒル/ domestic duck??
>>284658388Saved this reveal for later.
>>284658540>>284659261Uncute isn't a word so VIZ always ends up trying to find an equivalent and it throws a lot of it off. Anime seemed to add a good bit of guilt. And add the plushie to this scene.
>>284659261Viz's manga translation was never super consistent with how it translated kawaikunee (at least not at this early point).
>>284658628I thought some of this was filler. It really seems like outside the last scene, everything was in there, just a little extended.
>>284659261I think in this case it's definitely meant to be a joke/pun to go with "duck"
>>284659222Spriggan had a really weird publication history. 4 initial chapters in early 1989, then another 11 chapters in late 1989, then it disappeared before returning in mid 1992 in Shonen Sunday Zokan
>>284658472Shotgun wedding>Look Mr. Tendo, it's not like I fucked her, I just turned her into a duck.
>>284659829So he ducked her.
Aren't they already fucking from their point of view? They all believe he sneaks up to her room at night.
>>284658925Yeah, but she's a hot retard so it's understandable.
>>284659029Because Rumiko is bitter. None of the female suitors were ever allowed to be normal nice people or else it would be game over for Tsunkane. Even Ukyo, who starts our normal, becomes crazier and more evil as the series continues.
>>284658769Upper left panel got expanded to like 8 times it's length as a loop.
Mousse would have won fair and square if Shampoo didn't sabotage him.
>>284659368The original anime extended the fight quite a bit too, with Shampoo continuing to give Mousse new boobytrapped weapons and him continuing to accept them.It's kind of funny even though it makes him seem a lot more retarded than in the manga.
>>284660274When she first appeared, she was trying to kill Ranma.
>>284659548Those two first "runs" were more miniseries than the real start of the series as an ongoing manga.
>>284658339>>284658690This storytime has made me really interested in this period of Shonen Sunday. It really sucks that so little of it is translated.
>>284659009>next issue starts the Tsubasa arcThe anime remake is probably not going to continue with that
>>284658885I love how everyone's constantly assuming Mousse is less of a shitty person than he actually is.
>>284658885The voice acting in that scene was good. https://streamable.com/n8iod3
>>284660274this has to be bait
I still don't understand why the remake swapped the Ukyo episodes and the Romeo and Juliet episodes around.
>>284664863Probably wanted a breather between the two "two-parters".
>>284659343"Uncute" came from the anime subs, didn't it?
>>284666103I think it's been used at times in all the '90s English translations of Ranma (subs, dub, manga) but probably none of them were completely consistent with it and might mix it up from time to time.
>>284658520Nabiki is enjoying the shit out of this.
>>284666431Can't blame her.
>>284666217I don't remember the manga having it.
>>284624520>rankane / shamousse focused episode>thread dies in under 200 repliesWhat did anon mean by this?
