Chapter 72.1 tl is out. DumpingAlso Volume 16 will release on June 18!
>>287622089
>>287622090
>>287622101
Choujin X should be dumped in two pages imo.
>>287622111
>>287622118
>>287622127
>>287622138
>>287622146
>>287622118Another relevant character in this arc. I mean, I liked her style and the fact that she has a jojo stand. Still asking myself what kind of relationship she will have with Tokio.
>>287622156
>>287622170
>>287622180
>>287622189
>>287622195So TL chose "Arulu"
>>287622202
>>287622212
>>287622218
>>287622226
>>287622234Unfortunately, Sato won
>>287622241
>>287622241>Unfortunately
>>287622249
>>287622255
>>287622265
>>287622275
>>287622287
>>287622295
>>287622302
>>287622311So anyways Tawashi is in the bathroom peeing while standing up like she said she would
>>287622322
>>287622336
>>287622345
>>287622351
>>287622361
>>287622372
>>287622379And done
>>287622090>Vice-Director HIGASHISATO BROS?! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS?!
>>287622408He's Higo's new Director of course.
>>287622372>>287622379>>287622392STANDO PAWAAAWRYYYYYYYKILLER QUEEEEN
>>287622392puffy
>>287622379Did the other guy knew? He called her cat.
>>287622138please live and be cool
>>287622491He is a genius. According to others, not himself, for complete transparent modesty.>>287622509No one's dying to Jing and Tawashi.
>>287622322Btw Batista did explain why The Stooges (and Hume) would join Guelta, they got nowhere else to go after Sora's death, and FUCK YM
It's been 3 years, when is he coming back? Or is his duty really done now that the mark has been passed on? He should be one of the few people who would move to Yamato Mori after Sora's death.
>>287622744>He should be the only one who would move to Yamato Mori after Sora's death.FTFY
>>287622781Surely some of the mooks Sora had would also go to Yamato Mori and hate Guelta (from the war days/history).
>>287622804The only relevant ones are the Stooges, Hume, Nari and Bucket (the latter who Sora didn't even know she employed)The Stooges joined Guelta>Jing is already here>Tawashi is in the bathroom to fight Koemori>IC is gonna job to Tokio for the third time because chapter 72 is just 36 with a different coat of paint>Batista already explained why >>287622676 As for Hume joining Guelta>Sora is the definition of Negative Charisma vs Yubiko who saved his life>Once again Batista's explanation (FUCK YM)>Ely of all people having the Mark would be sore spot (also him getting xember vaxx might've given him a new power and a plotline to take the Mark from her now)Nari's with Guelta because Sato (and most definitely swooped in to get the Stooges) and Bucket who actually hates them
>>287622804If anything I'd assume some could simply get rejected/killed by Guelta if anything if they tried defecting there. Them joining forces with Zora's people is more surprising actually, I guess they found them useful. I hope Ricardo and Ririka fell on Yamato's side.
>>287622885>I hope Ricardo and Ririka fell on Yamato's side.They only care about money and "Queem pays better anyway" is funnier
>>287622850imagine IC actually joined YM out of disdain for Guelta?
>>287622804>>287622950Weren't Vlad and Bucket the only ones who cared about OG Guelta? If anything I'd think the others would hate YM for driving Zora out and generally making their lives hell.
>>287622241He needs a pegasus
>>287623020Nah, Igor's justification for his actions was to prevent another calamity like Queem and what Guelta wrought. He was originally a Queem sea mine remover, but one went off killing his entire crew and severely injuring himself when Sora recruited him. He also harbors religious belief in Zora like Hume does (and unlike Jing and Tawashi) and believes in the Calamity just like Tokio does, being able to sense it through his blood connection.He'd absolutely join Yamato Mori if they let him.
>>287623091didn't Tawashi refer to Zora as "Mama Zora", would that mean she looked up to Zora?
>>287623186Tawashi's just a retard, like legitimately. Her only motivation for joining Zora is to not die, and on a personal level "to become god".
>>287623204if Guelta 2 is really loyal to Queem's beliefs then they wouldn't accept someone(other than Queem himself) who wants to be a "god".
>>287623253Having beliefs doesn't mean you can't be practical. Odds are jobbers like Jing and Tawashi will just die in the war, and even if they don't, it's not like it'd be hard for Guelta to kill them at any time. It's also possible they 'migrated' to New Guelta under Vanya's edict of protection, then got surprise conscripted into the army.
>>287623298>'migrated' to New Guelta under Vanya's edict of protection, then got surprise conscripted into the army.Kind of like that one MAGA dad who moved his family to Russia.
>>287623409Not trying to be political just making a comparison.
>>287622322What's with the other guy? Is he gonna be a massive coward-type character?
>>287623431Ely foresaw him breeding Arulu on the battlefield
>>287623431>What's with the other guy?He REALLY needs to pee
>>287622138so what are his powers and do they have something to do with his stupid name or him using english words
>>287623431Is this a rhetorical question?
>>287622850>IC is gonna job to Tokio for the third time because chapter 72 is just 36 with a different coat of paintI doubt so, we haven't seen Azuma's parallel this time deal with J(ob)ing, but her student/protegee So the one dealing with the inevitable IC confrontation should be Tokio's student so...Yep, it's gonna be Palma fighting IC this time, and the one attacked is gonna be nudeEither that or a 3rd new character for the parallel, I highly doubt is going to be tokio (besides him kicking IC's ass is kinda getting old, he's probably way out of the tard trio's range by now)
>>287624013Scratch nude mb, I forgot Ely both participated and got attacked, so it's either aruru or pissboy the ones getting gankedTho if we go by parallels Pissboy is the most likely one
>>287622101What incidents he's talking about i wonder. Is Ely so batshit she started throwing fits during official meetings?
Chara Stats of the chappy
>>287624056>Ely speedrunning her own sora-esque descent into madnessIT KEEPS HAPPENINGWhat do you guys think about the timeskips? I don't hate it so far but it is a bit jarring
>>287624726It's fun thus far. The previous chapter had soulful interactions between the main 4 which is something this manga does really well. Tokio becoming a new ace is bound to be hilarious if it still contrasts his out of combat personality.
>>287624726>What do you guys think about the timeskips? I don't hate it so far but it is a bit jarringIshida extended the flashbacks way too much, if anything they shouldn't have happened at the start of them
>>287624056>dammit, Palma pissed all over the diaries again
>>287624726Feels like I’m driving past a sign that says NO TURNING BACK
>>287622408He probably "died" or "disappeared" in Nowaki
>>287622218I really like these goofy characters that Ishida does.
>>287622241Does Sandek do anything?
Arulu is cute.
>>287622351Nice body Arulu
Arulu is the Momo replacement.
>>287622885>I hope Ricardo and Ririka fell on Yamato's side.Ricardo is always with Ririka and Ririka always does it for the money.
>>287623204Imagine Tawashi becoming the X lmao
>>287622249>be viz>add "probably" to a confident statement because you feel like itNever change.
Jing's power is too good for such a jobber, it's genuinely one of the coolest powers in the series because of how versatile it is. I'd argue it's stronger than Azuma's non chaos skill set when used properly.
>>287622138These 2 are going to be on Tokio's Quinx team.Also her looking like his dead sister is definitely intentional
>>287625198>I'd argue it's stronger than Azuma's non chaos skill set when used properly.Nah he has a limit, Azuma can literally create infinite weapons
>>287625262Kinako looked like Tokio with bob. Hell Tokio got his mom's haircutI feel you people are banking too hard on something that's not gonna happen
>>287625262She also has a similar personality. Ely is cruel, she knows that Tokio cannot go full out when he is worried about others, yet she ships a replacement imouto into his squad.
Is aruru gonna bring ptsd on tokio
>>287625316No. I doubt Tokio is even gonna take notice of the "similarities" (Arulu and Kinako don't even look the same)
>>287625316>dark haired strict no bullshit tomboy with a "my master is stronger than you" chip on her shoulderOh yeah that's gonna be so fun.
>>287625273>Azuma can literally create infinite weaponsDoubt it. He has to have a limit too.
>>287625273>Nah he has a limit, Azuma can literally create infinite weaponsI mean Queem didn't so it's probably the same for azuma
So the plan is obviously to time skip like this all the way to 2026. A brief visit with each character that will matter in the real timeline with little snapshots of the others. Is this modeled after some other manga or book or something, like how the major arcs of TG all echoed HxH ones, or is he trying something different?
What powers do you think Tokio has developed to be as strong as Sandek?Seems like he has his naginata Slayer now.
>>287622744>tfw this mystery nigga just never shows up again in the manga
HumeChads, how we feeling? I'm thinking /ourguy/ is going to end up on Yamato's side.
>>287626190Maybe various forms of choujin slayer that he can transform into the best suitable weapon whenever he pleases, just crazy physical strength, durability and speed.Maybe he can make it so all the feathers he can fire off can act as miniature choujin slayers.
>>287622127Spade on Kururu's clothes>>287622146Club on Koemori's beltTwo more newfags for Tokio's squad then, with Palma and Nude's card abilities on top?
>>287626580The perspective of mini choujin slayer feathers is honestly the scariest. That sounds like something capable of killing entire enemy squads.
>>287626539>inb4 Hume with awakened perfected Xember power is II Guelta ExecutiveThat guy was only loyal to Sora and that retard fucked herself over when she fired him. Bro also hates Sandek and YM, not to mention Ely of people having the MarkMeanwhile Yubiko was an angel who saved his lifeHell Hume in Guelta is further reason for the Stooges to join, IC actually respected the guy. Even more so considering he actually survived the vaxx like Ice hoped he would
>>287626633>inb4 Hume became a prophet for Guelta
>>287622202>TL choseusually they're told by the author how to translate a character's name
>>287626764>usually they're told by the author how to translate a character's nameJust like how he did for her name amirite anon?
>>287622392New Tokio wife?
>>287622089>Also Volume 16 will release on June 18!And confirmed for 244 pages! Currently 165 pages (171 if we add the first 5+ soundtrack page)
>>287626836>small titsNah. Imouto.
why do people think that characters that hated YM will join it
>>287626928They are coping those guys gave a fuck about Tokio and his opinions (they don't) and would join him (they wouldn't)
>>287626836Nah, he has Palma already. Its probably a new MC.
>Hearts Palma>DiamondsNude >SpadesArulu>ClubRhetoricBehold, the squad of Yamato Mori's strongest.
>>287627404Ishida can pull it off
>>287627519>Irrelevant Higemaru>Auntcon Aura who for some reason got most focus of the New Qs>Sidelined Hsiao (even tho she had most interesting background)>Mascot Saiko going "I'll be a terrorist!" only to sleep throughout the whole Urie revolting against Furuta>Urie the only one who pulled his weightOof
>>287626059>So the plan is obviously to time skip like this all the way to 2026. A brief visit with each character that will matter in the real timeline with little snapshots of the others. Is this modeled after some other manga or book or something, like how the major arcs of TG all echoed HxH ones, or is he trying something different?Anon there's literally been just 2 timeskips and the story is on the last part, there's no way this goes to 2026
>>287627006>Nah, he has Palma already.Nari*>>287627519Ah, the jobber squad
>>287627565The whole :re was a bit of shit show however am optimistic if Ishida tries something similar to it but actually well done
>>287627519man we need more panels like these but choujin x
>>287626841>And confirmed for 244 pages! Currently 165 pages (171 if we add the first 5+ soundtrack page)Did Ishida show tokio ENTER on the last volume pages of the previous timeskip?
>>287627978Yeah
>>287627978>he was in the train's toilet all along after eating a particularly spicy dish
>>287628003I'm guessing then>next chappy is Aruru fighting with J(ob)ing while pissboy deals with insect retard on the toilet>Somehow IC enters and takes one hostage>Palma (or a 3rd character) takes the wheel and subdues IC>A Cadre (or a high rank) enters the scene and shit hits the fan>Tokio ENTERSand then 2 month hiatus
>>287628099>J(ob)ing while pissboy deals with insect retard on the toiletkek
>>287628099It would be very thematic for Palma and Nude to show up on a train.
>>287622322somehow this character, to me, is sexier than any Fairy Tail girl.
>>287622379>>287622372>>287622392>capeshit referenceits so over
>>287629771>short haired tomboy>toned thighs>ass cheeks visible from frontNot as sexy as Palma but pretty cute in her own right
>>287629771ew
>>287627519I really liked how much Urie changed at the end. Everything about the Quinx squad was great. And I miss the chinese girl thighs. She was so hot. Although my favorite character of all of TG was Juuzo. The first time I didn't care so much about him (I liked him more in :Re) but in a reread he's great.
>>287622392「BURNING HEART」
>>287623510And Tokio REALLY needed to wipe. And now he's the strongest choujin of YM.Trust the plan, Rhetoric powerhouse reveal soon!
>>287625511>>287625490You need to read slower, Speedreader-kuns
>>287625490Damn, sorry, mistook the posts.This >>287631820was for >>287625273
>>287626190He literally goes full Sora now with naginata/spear and wings combo.All it lacks is his full beastification looking like that one art with "priestly" design to it.
>there is now a possibility Tawashi knows Azuma is a Queem Copy before Tokio
>>287626764The part where you actually believe that is hilarious. You realize Viz has changed Queem's name like 3 times, have blatantly translated Vanya's last name wrong, they can't decide how to do Sora's last name, and understandably didn't translate "Hurtley" correctly, right? Localization teams and authors rarely talk; at most the author will translate it on his own and put it somewhere, or he'll answer it on Twitter, but these are on the far rarer side.
>>287631919How would Tokio even react? He's been such a good friend to Azuma i think he will try to cheer Azuma up by implying his blood doesn't make him who he is.
>>287626190He's shown he can teleport through possibly causality manipulation, being a living causality nightmare, so probably teleportation.>>287625262Take off your Kinako goggles, Anon. Here, have some Hinako goggles instead.
>>287632059He wouldn't care. He already know he himself is Queem's grandkid basically.
>>287622241FUARK. That's the Lu Bu pose>>287622491>>287622372I thought "Arulu" would hint at "Owl", not cat.Would make sense if her uncle really is Shadowl.
>>287632161>He wouldn't care. He already know he himself is Queem's grandkid basically.wut
>>287626836Palma? Well, let's just say that she likes to 'watch' if you catch my drift
>>287622089Next is Azuma right?
>>287631820I miss BB (and Maho girl) bros. Her squad was great.
>>287635164At least she went out with a bang. She is by far the most charismatic and fun of all the secondary YM choujins. Literally died with a happy smile knowing that she saves a life.
>>287627895Why her?
>>287635127He already had his 'affliction' in the mpreg scene.
>>287635127We can probably consider this a Palma's version so Azuma is the only one without such a page.
>>287622202Women get annoyed by this? He won over my heart and I'm a man!
>>287634229Speedreader-kun... Tokio even made a diagram spelling it out...
>>287635558He probably smells intensely of cologne. I'd want that fucker away from me, too.
>mc kills the big bad with the power of friendship
>>287629813I mean, its basically a superhero story.
>>287635558He has an "unreliable dipshit" written all over his face
>>287635671Holy... Is kagurabachi that edgy?
>>287636075Not him and I only started reading it recently but I'm a good way through it, but it's more pretentious than edgy. Like the author constantly introduces characters to have them die in 1-2 chapters against random enemy whatever to hype up the character for when the MC fights them. The plot developments are very shounen as well, like 'oh this good side character died but trust me they aren't coming back no way nope' (they pretty much say exactly this in the story) to try to ensure the reader the author isn't going to asspull and then the dead guy comes back. Whaaat no way.Pretty much every fight is the MC and friends, and sometimes enemies, suddenly getting a power up to solve the problem, too. It's a very repetitive series like that. I started reading it because people were recommending it and The Bugle Call, and while Bugle Call was pretty good, Kagurabachi is just your average katanawank, honestly. It's not bad, but like, it's given what I consider zero investment into the series.
>>287635555That's just a cover. A cool cover indeed.
>>287636366What does Palma's piss taste like?
While Part 1 and Part 2 of CX were somewhat predictable (in a good way), I have doubts in what direction will this part go. We will probably see how Tokio changed and maybe more of the 2000-2003 timeskip flashback from Tokio pov. Then I suppose we will change pov to Ely to see how much batshit crazy she became. But that's just what I think. What about you, lads? what direction you think CX will take?Also drop the bomb about Sato already Ishida. Sato must be so pissed off about YM having a new prophet after finally getting rid off Sora and Mado.
>>287636572My best guess is that Gueltans are waging war in hopes of somehow awakening the soul of Queem and that he is the true antagonist of the second half and by extension the entire story.
>>287622090Who did the new YM architecture? It was you, Azuma?
>>287635576my schizo you're gonna have to explain your point a bit here, not everyone can read your mind
>>287636772no it was Ishida the 3D Objects Choujin
>>287637651...ssshhh don't speak too loud or he's gonna turn you into a png...
>>287637651Why doesn't he run over it with an ai inpaint at this point i wonder
>>287637743>Why doesn't he run over it with an ai inpaint at this point i wonderI don't think throwing gasoline into the fire's gonna make things better
>>287637743>>287637794I remember it was speculated that the spread of Sato mindbreaking the bone guy had some AI in it to help give off the dreamlike feel
>>287622392I like her side profile look more
>>287637794I pefer him using 3D objects and literally photos over AI shit.
>>287637475You don't need to read minds, you need to not speedread. I don't know how to make this any simpler or clearer. If Sora is Tokio's blood parent, and Queem is Sora's blood parent, what does that make Queem to Tokio?
>>287639089You realize that isn't enough to make them relatives right
>>287640634>You're not my REAL momAlright, stepchild, we get it; no need to bring up your family issues here.The translation says "birthed by blood", but the raw calls Queem and Sora's connection "blood parent and child" (血の親子), and Sora and Tokio's connection is called "blood child" (血の子). Sora is Tokio's parent as a choujin, and Queem is Sora's parent as a choujin. That makes Queem Tokio's blood grandpappy. This isn't even up to speculation; you're just obtuse.
>>287640732Ok no you literal retard that's not how it works lmfao
>>287640732So you're saying Hume, Azuma and the retard trio are Tokio's biological brothers, aight dude...>Alright, stepchild, we get it; no need to bring up your family issues here.Woah there buddy xD, you sure you're not the one with the problems here
>>287622089Is that naked Ely? Why was she jealous of Palma? she has a sexy body.
>>287640776>>287640854Illiterate, speedreader, and samefagging, what a combo. When did I say "biological"? If only the series has made some sort of constant comparison to his blood bond as a type of surrogate parent and child for choujin. It's not like there's a group that only refer to their boss as mother or anything.
>>287622311How did these guys regress from a modern style of clothing, architecture, and technology, to this sorta late feudal style? Late Napolitan? Something like that.
>>287642052Technology level and fashion in this series changes the second you cross over a border, with every country seemingly to be a mixed race of, well, every race.
>>287641728>SamefagOh fuck off at this point, you're the one seeking shitflinging, I'm not gonna give it to you, sorry>Did I say biological????You sure as hell implied it when you literally said Tokio is basically Queem's grandchild, giant autistic argument baby, you don't get to change your words to obfuscate the fact this is a pointless argument, again, fuck off
>>287642052>How did these guys regress from a modern style of clothing, architecture, and technology, to this sorta late feudal style? Late Napolitan? Something like that.Cult ideology mostly, the design to make everything clean and orderly is probably a mix between Azuma's influence and to present a "pure and good" image against the opposite front's militaristic and modern design
>>287642052jackjeanne
>>287636075nah, it's combatslop
why is this shit still ongoing?
>>287632161>>287641728>iliterate>He already know he himself is Queem's grandkid basically.>When did I say "biological"?lolBesides that brainfart of yours I don't really think Tokio wouldn't give a shit. I think you're flanderizing his aloofness, his core is mostly supportive. Unless you very poorly meant this.
>>287644086It isn't a true shonen battle manga unless it meanders for volumes and volumes after the best parts end. It will suddenly get good again when Queem inevitably shows up.
>>287644154>It isn't a true shonen battle manga unless it meanders for volumes and volumes after the best parts end. It will suddenly get good again when Queem inevitably shows up.tokio in 2 chappy, trust
>>287644154why are we wasting time pretending sato isn't the true villain? why is re happening again?
>>287643548>>287644118>Author literally calls it parent and child>continues to whine about semantics without giving any argumentDo you guys have any idea what "basically" means? I assume not since you both clearly have no reading comprehension. It doesn't mean literally, it doesn't mean genuinely, and it certainly doesn't mean biologically.>I don't really think Tokio wouldn't give a shit. I think you're flanderizing his aloofness, his core is mostly supportiveWhy would Tokio care? Like you said, he's supportive, so what even is your argument? Or was your double negative intended to be a singular negative, making it so you're just agreeing with what I said but pretending I said something else?
>>287624013we still don't know if IC will change sides to YM or not, unlike with Jing.
>>287644379>I assume not since you both clearly have no reading comprehensionAlright man, you do you>Why would Tokio care? Like you said, he's supportive, so what even is your argument?There's no argument, I simply said Tokio cares about Azuma enough to ease him down in case of an episode or revealMan you quite literally are desperately looking for confrontation, he wasn't exaggeratingI'm happy for u or sorry that happened, have a nice day
>>287644473So it comes down to you're arguing the semantics of "not caring" vs "caring mindfully" but it's alright to interpret "basically" as "biologically". You have some strange double standards. If Azuma revealed it and consulted Tokio about it, he would give him a goofball consolation that might be a bit off the mark, but if Tokio learns of it not from Azuma, he likely wouldn't aggressively try to console Azuma about it, instead just shelving it until it's relevant.I only called the original poster a speedreader because that's customary and he got extremely defensive about it, so I provided some more comedic insults (which he took hilariously seriously) but the focus on all my posts were my argument, in contrast to every post of his—and most of yours, too—devolving primarily into insults and ignoring the topic. I gave evidence of what I meant in every image I posted and he still didn't agree or seem even attempt to understand it to the very end despite providing no counter argument. And honestly, you've shown very little understanding by calling it a brainfart, even. You've also been just as defensive and trying to 'turn it around' on me, which has been pretty funny in itself. If I fuck up, I'll own up to it or correct it, not try to double down like a child or conveniently pretend it never happened.
>>287644441>we still don't know if IC will change sides to YM or not, unlike with Jing.I mean he was a Sora gigasimp (I can relate) so I don't think he's fond of Ely
