Heaven Chapter 2
>Saori showing ankleThis feels wrong and lewd.
>>288222183Kurumada is leaving more responsabilities to his assistants because he lost his hand. It took him 20 years to ask for help
>>288222418Imagine being an artist and having to adapt to drawing a new manga like one from 40 years ago because the author is still doing it. It must be wild. Pretty fascinating, like working on a restoration in a museum.
>>288222570I assume many if not all of Kurumada's assistants are Kurumada fans that grow with his work.
>>288222659Yeah, but it doesn't mean they can't push it beyond what the old man could do. I wonder if they'll be allowed to use different angles, poses or compositions that were unheard of in classic Saint Seiya, or if tradition will just hold them back and make them draw as closely as possible to the original.
>>288222711Well, they're assistants. Kurumada himself started as an assistant too. That remind me a story about young Kurumada working in Kyojin no Hoshi as an assistant. Kurumada changed an onomatopoeia because he thought it looked better but his boss told him to leave it as it was. Kurumada insisted with his page and at the end it was published as Kurumada wanted. Kurumada always had troubles with authority figures because his daddy issues
>>288222913>Kurumada insisted with his page and at the end it was published as Kurumada wantedMost likely because he would've beaten the shit out of the mangaka otherwise.
>>288221875Bump for interest.
>>288221875The amnesia subplot looks like a shoujo manga
>>288223854But like old school shoujo. Some Candy Candy goodness. Does modern shoujo do amnesia subplots and all that soap opera shit?
>>288221875raw?
So if she's losing her memory again then her plan of fighting alone won't go very far i suppose
Fucking hell Shun
>>288226208Man can't wear an apron? Maybe he was baking something. Why do they own a donkey, though. What the fuck is going on.
Finally
>>288225476Fuck you
>>288227466let's start this shit already
>>288227487Page 2 then this one >>288227466
>>288227499
>>288227510No colored pages means i
>>288227525
>>288227537
>>288227554
>>288227569It's a really shit episode so far
>>288227585
>>288227604
>>288227623
>>288227641Even the stupid dog can bring dead faggots to life too?
>>288227569>>288227585Zombies?
>>288227661
>>288227680
>>288227698
>>288227680>>288227698Without saints around, even those jobbers could easily conquer Earth
>>288227716Fuck off bitch, you didn't took care of him when he spent 3 days dying in a wheelchair
>>288227751Now you care? gimme a fucking break!
>>288227751>>288227453El encuentro más esperado en Latinoamérica unida
>>288227766
>>288227778
>>288227791The End
>>288227773The fuck you talk about? this shit feels unearned. It's like Apollo said: "Here nigga, live with your stupid sister and stop fucking mine"Very anticlimatic
>>288227819Saori really wants the pegasus cock
>>288227854It's perfect. Seiya wanted to live a peaceful life with his sister and now he has everything he wanted. Apollo fulfilled Seiya's dreams in exchange for him to never be a saint again. Of course he'll return but still
>>288227604so Poseidon just didn't care to even try to take the world now that saints are no more?
>>288227554Reminder that Seiya/Shun is huge in Japan. This will fuel the shippers
>>288227969Poseidon is locked in the jar. He could only recover Julian Solo's body for enough time to bring the gold cloths to Elysium. Rerise isn't canon so far
>>288227878Meh, it doesn't feel right but at least that Mihofag can kill himself because she lost.Honestly, even if Seiya never wanted this life of fighting he came to embrace it over the year or whatever timelapse the OG manga takes place. He kept fighting to end the fights, peaceful life means nothing if you the fight is not over, even Shiryu came to understand that in ND.
>>288228021It's not like Seiya will spend the rest of his life as a civilian, you know
>>288227969Too busy with Sorrento's bussy
>>288228034Still, if he was still searching for his sister during the memory wipe it would've been better, the movie did it better 20 years ago
>>288227672They're just Greeks.
>>288227854It's the beginning of the story, anon, literally the opposite of climax.
>>288227791What's their level? I guess it's around bronze saints and I don't mean Seiya and friends but more like Jabu and friends
>>288221875Why is Saori remembering her almost kissing Seiya when he fall off fighting Jamian?Why is she such a slut?
>>288229076Been a while since I read it, but I think that scene is anime only.
>>288229230Nigger, it's literally OP's image. You're fucking stupid
>>288229076She's sexually repressed for being a virginal goddess
>>288227791Apollo:Fucking idiots!!
>>288223854>>288223950Kurumada is a big shoujo fan. The otaku generation loved shoujo but they read them for the cute girls while Kurumada was looking to the fabulous men
Post translation
>>288229260It's not there.
>>288230835You're not only stupid but also blind, good to know
>>288227680>No Ker in sightIs she sleeping again
>>288231332yep, lazy hoe
>>288231332Good. No Ker makes this chapter two times better.
>>288227854It's a good ending for everyone. Apollo granted it. I hope he made Artemis the ruler of the whole planet, even an acting one, to not let Hades' remnants do the shit. Speaking of shit, Ker and her Specters is a shitty recon. Always has been.
>>288231730No one is ruling/protecting the Earth. There's zombies because of it. The bronzes fighting the Hades army to get their memories back and make Apollo descend again to punish them a second time is the lamest way to start the saga
>>288231851They looked more like drug addicts, homeless fellas, thugs. But ye, I agree that it's a lame way to start an official sequel manga. Next Dimension had better start. Here it's just something suggesting that we will have "muh Athena fights with Specters" again. Fuck, I don't even fool myself that Ker's only, and I mean only, role will be to make Bronze Saints remember their past.
>humans have free will and shit>but they actually depend on the ruling god's presence which affects their behaviorYou know, I like Kurumada a lot and I have defended ND for years, but this thing? I don't like it and I don't even want to defend it. It's a dumb idea.
>>288232182Obviously the endgame is a world without gods. Kurumada is a fedora atheist
>>288232260I thought he stopped being one long ago, but it seems that yes, it might be the final theme of Saint Seiya - world without gods.
>>288231851>>288232182KEKAnd the same gods who complained about humans acting in a specific way during Athena's reign now don't give a fuck about global pathological society.Bravo, wonderful retcon.
>>288232374I never heard of Kurumada having a change of heart about divinity.
>>288232409I think gods just don't care that much about humans, except for Hades and Poseidon that want to exterminate them for installing their own agendas. Hades said humans are useless and they don't even worship the gods anymore.
>>288231730Ker isn't a retcon. It's expanding the lore
>>288232260>oh my god how dare somebody isn't from my religionShut the fuck up. zealot dipshit.What right do you right do you've to nag about other people's religions? I came to check the chapter and you're babbling about the guy's religion. kill yourself. This isn't your Church. I don't care.
>>288232869I don't have problems with Kurumada being an atheist. It's his choice. Personally I'm agnostic and I hate geeks mass converting to Christianity because they relate it to white supremacy
>>288229076Just imagine if Seiya had a girlfriend in the new world. Some nameless Greek girl to piss off the few het shippers in the fandom
>>288230909You can't gaslight me, retard.
>>288231555Living forever must be a chore
>>288227672peor, Peruasnos
Hue's up>This... This is your hat, isn't it?Side text: "An encounter marked by fate!!"
>This hat... Is mine?>Didn't the wind blow it away just now? Don't you remember it?
>Ah...x3>Ah... You are...>You are...>Seiy...
>Tenma!!>Huh? How do you know my name?
>Ah! Are you alright?>I... Who am i?>What did you say?>I can't remember anything about me...>What am i doing here...? Who even am i!?
>Did something happen?>Shun!>It's just, that girl...>Huh?>Memory loss?>Looks that way>Hm...
>So she's the same as us, isn't she?>Huh?>Ah... Yes. Sure. Hehe>Yep>We also met here a short time ago, but none of us knew anything aside from our own name
>Who are we after all?
>Who are these guys?!>Damnit...!>Let me go!
>Fo-Food...>Mo-Money...>They were road bandits, looks like their numbers have increased lately>They say public safety through the world is deteriorating and if it keeps going like this the entire world will be full of evil people. There's a rumour that, eventually, the Earth will be completely covered by the darkness.
>That's because the goddess that protects love and justice on Earth would have disappeared from this world>Goddess? What are you talking about?>Well, i also don't know the details, it's just a rumour anyway>Hm... A goddess, eh?
>Rise up!>Oi, move, on your feet!>Damn skeletons!
>What the...?
>W-What is this? >It's our lord Jean of Orthros!!>Hm, looks like Athena's seal ended up weakening and freeing mere foot soldiers like the skeletons, you guys are lucky?>Huh?>Not only have you awakened, but you'll also receive, in a special way, eternal life!I'm a little confused by this skeleton talk here
>Eternal life?! Is this really true?!>Yes, if you want it then go to Rodorio village and kill the girl called Saori>That girl seems to be Athena's reincarnation >Ah... Athena's reincarnation?!>Looks like she lost her memories for now, but we cannot allow her to awaken again! Kill her before she awakens as the goddess Athena!>For the ressurection of Hades' army!!>If you understand then go!!
>Rodorio village>Tadaima!>Sis Seika, i've just returned
>Welcome back, Seiya! Thanks for your hard work>Food's ready, go wash your hands>Ok>Delicious! You stew really is the best!>Ah that's right... Today i met a strange girl>Huh?
Saint Seiya fans are actually the CONSOOMER meme come to life. No matter what Kuru shits out, you will buy saint seiya manga, action figures etc all to fund his retirement for a story he has 0 intentions of finishing before dying lmao. CONSOOM
>She looked like a lady from a wealthy family, but she had memory loss>Yet even so she knew my name, she said "Seiya"...>Huh? Sis?>It's nothing, eat up before it gets cold>O...K>Ah... Just as we've finally managed to reunite... Please...
>Please don't destroy this peaceful life... Don't drag Seiya back to the battlefield ever again!
>Did you find her?>No, i can't find her anywhere>The girl is surely nearby, kill her as soon as you find her!>Before she awakens as Athena!!>Yes, sir!
>How beautiful...>Tonight the constellations seems to shine even brighter. That one is...>If i'm not mistaken, that one is the the constellation of PegasusSide text: "That one is the constellation she trusted the most in the past..."
>>288234665>Tenma!!>The page clearly say Seiya!!Are you trying to prank me?
>>288235033H-How did you see through my tricks!?
>>288227487SIGAN AL MAESTRO... SOLO EN LA CHAMPION!!
>>288227766>>288227751Seiya x Shaina will ever get confirmed?
>>288234358>t. el chileANO
>>288234665>>288235033Koga
>>288227525>Mfw I can read this without needing to read the furigana despite barely being N4
>>288234998This is still similar to Overture
>>288236896almost as if kurumada has 0 ideas left. This is just him shitting things out for money
>>288221875What's wrong with Kubo? Did he have a stroke? Why is his drawing so bad?
>>288235556T.El hambrientino
>>288226208What a cute donkey.>>288227751He was taken hostage by Saori inside the sanctuary. No wonder Seika resents her so much and hopes she drops dead.
>>288235517No
>>288228001That jar had the Athena's seal. And like Ker said, there's no more Athena so the seal lost its power. The real reason is probably >>288228042
>>288234723>>288234948>>288234957Apollo doesn't give two shits about humans to the point that he literally just erased their memories and didn't give them new ones. He probably didn't bother with anyone not related to the Sanctuary so Shunrei, Miho, Sorento, hell maybe even Tatsumi remembers everything.It would be funny if they didn't even bother to send Shiryu to his home back in China and he's just a homeless guy in Greece without a shirt. I wonder if Ikki lives with Shun. Apollo just can't erase their brocon instincts.
>>288227661Those seem to be skeletons
>>288222418>>288222659>>288222913>>288230175kurumada hates you , baka gaijin
>>288234633They are fast
>>288235664It’s basic stuff you can easily pick up with minimal exposure to raws, some light kanji/hiragana grinding, and heavy anime consumption.
>>288227773Come verga.
>>288234867>I'm a little confused by this skeleton talk hereHades army is divided in 3 tiers, specters (Celestial and Terrestrial) and the foot soldiers (named skeletons)
Now that I think about it, we never got to see Poseidon's lower ranks
>>288239792Well we don't see the equivalent of a bronze sait but we do see foot soldiers and that fish girl is probably like a silver saint
>>288234932Say the moefag
>>288238691Shunrei said that she hates Athena in the Poseidon arc
>>288241177Shiryu needs to go home and be a family man
>>288240050Yes, Poseidon is pretty underdeveloped.
>>288241694Shiryu prefer to wrestle half naked with other men
>>288236976TLC won’t get a S3
>>288242573Great, the ship arc is pretty dumb and the final temples aren't better
>>288243475The blood sacrifice was a bit too much
>>288234723Thanks Shun for expositioning the new status quo verbally so I know what's going on.
>>288244421It wouldn't feel like Saint Seiya if it wasn't like that. That and the characters with hearing problems whenever someone say anything and have to confirm by repeating what they said.>>288242573>>288243475I would like a Season 3 if they fixed most of later part of the story. Yuzuriha's brother appearing in her gaiden to do fuck all was funny and sad.
>>288244652Nah, just give an OVA with Kardia and Sasha getting into trouble in Mexico
>>288241177Women hate Saori, both in real life and in fiction. They make an exception when they ship her with Saga though
>>288227569The dead rising from the grave because Athena has no power it's been done already. Yes, better
>>288245830Kurumada had some participation in that movie
>>288245830It's an old trope. It's in the bible too
>>288239230Kurumada doesn't like to interact with fans but never heard of him hating his fans like Anno and Tomino do. Also he knows at this point that gaijins will remember him more than nips.
>>288245357Unironically, I think OVAs of some Gaidens would be better than season 3. Now that's a good idea anon.
>>288246982He did the infamous June interview
>>288245712This explains why she is always portrayed as a mad goddess in the derivative works
>>288248166I don't remember that one.
>>288248193She really tried to fuck up with the past/present/dimensions because of Seiya's dick. Artemis and Apollo were completely right on how insane she was for doing that.
>>288248459NTA but it's an interview from 1987. Kurumada said some interesting things like SS being made with 8 years old boys in mind and that he used to go to gay bars until AIDS arrived to Japan
>>288248193
>>288234723They are kinda chill about not remembering anything. Not even fake memories, just nothing at all due to being related to Saints.
>>288248759They're Showa guys. They can endure anything and be chill about it.
>>2882471623/4 of TLC Gaidens suck.Most of Extra Story stuff is garbage.I would've preferred Season 3.
>>288242573Good. Half of it would be good, but the rest? Muh Giant Boat arc is mediocre, and the final part, the very climax of that Holy War, is worse than already underwhelming Hades arc.
>>288238361I chuckled.
>>288234867>Athena's sealGood that this shit wasn't even mentioned before.
>>288249775Well, they at least think that there were one. But it was just Kanon and Dohko killing everyone. Saori probably thought that killing everyone including Hades would prevent that from happening but too bad Kanon forgot about the sleeping goddess.
>>288234897Is there a meaning to his more squareish speech bubble?
>>288250883What? the eternal life if they kill Saori?I guess that's just the lie Hades has been feeding their warriors since the age of myth. No one lives forever.
>>288251000We have no proof of eternal life but Christians around the world still believe it. Reminder that Kurumada is not only an atheist but also a humanist. Life is valuable because it happens once
>>288250883I dunno, probably talking with some authority? Ker also had square speech bubbles in the first chapter while Jean talked normally
>>288238469atte. El negroguayo
>>288251017It doesn't matter if you believe in Santa Claus, he is still a lie your parents told you to behave
>>288251000I meant the speech bubble itself, I saw it used in other Kurumada's works.>>288251076Makes sense.
>>288250488Maybe it will be referred to somehow in Final Edition. I'm naive as fuck, I know.
>>288234998Just fuck already
>>288241929Shiryu is the most straight saint. He has a canon girlfriend and before ND he was raising a kid with Shunrei
>>288249775>>288246383>>288245830what if Athena grows a cock?Has that been done before?
>>288234867It is funny how well protected Hades' mooks are compared to Athena's saints.
>>288251942Well, Ikki tries but they all end up dead.>>288252217The one think I like about Omega was giving the regular Sanctuary soldiers, Steel cloth. Too bad they're totally non-canon and Saori really wants to make everyone retire and not fight anymore.
What a boring episode. See you next week
>>288240792I'm not, but even if I were, K-on fans have more thinking power than Saint Seiya fans do.
This is going to end with Saori/Seiya
>>288254856Yay for the 3 or 4 guys that ship them
>>288255827And probably most of the staff of the original anime.
>>288256804That's a Shigeyasu Yamauchi directed episode so i mostly blame him for that he also directed the DBZ episode where Goku kisses Chi-Chi offscreen
>>288256843>spoilerThat reminded of the absurdity of never happening in the canon of DBS.
>>288256804>>288256843To be fair, there is a panel in the Manga during this situation that has Seiya and Saori staring longingly at each other, so it's not like it came out of nowhere.And I celebrate anime characters trying to get it on, even if it's not a ship I'd personally push. The notion that girls are icky and shonen titles need to be just manly fights was always nonsense.
>no underword>no deathAre humans immortal?Kurumada is getting stupider and stupider.
>>288254856>>288256804already happened
>>288258391I like the chainsaw hair that was going on here
