Dumping
>>289321576Kaichi best guy
Bitch, I thought you were throwing up.
>>289321713She was. Hikaru was forced to hold the phone with the stream so Akane could still watch Kaisei while throwing her guts out kek
>>289321785Aww they have inside jokes
!
Suffering builds character.
To Be Continued!
>>289321939>both lose>I win>drops mic
>>289321977>You both suck>*does God of Death in front of them to show them a REAL winner*
>>289321986That's the only way I can see it ending>they both SUCKED>*performs shinigami*>FUCK YOU>end
>>289321977It's gonna be "this performance SUCKED because [random nitpick]".
>>289321785>What does that mean?Hikaru... it just happened! Don't you remember?
>>289322056>>289322058Isshomind
>>289322184I mean, it won't be random and I still didn't like akane's version much.
>>289321814>there was no clear gap in skillWhat?
>>289322184>Akane you broke character mid-performance ("oh man this is wild")! You SUCK!>Kaisei what the fuck was that face? You SUCK!
>>289322192We are gonna get this Kaisei back soon
>>289322392>Akane gets Haru glomping her once againAll according to her keikaku?
>>289322251Shut up Issho
>>289322360Don't ask me, kaisei's revised version was more emotional.
>>289321939He seems genuinely excited....Is that a good thing?
>>289322536>I can shit on people>for freeyes?
>>289322509>kaisei's revised version was more emotional.We know random dude in the audienceHonestly tho, as technically impressive as it was, Akane's performance only got me at the climax with the whole Shiguma referenceKaisei started off but it got me with that whiplash of a face >>289322376
>>289322536He gets more evil when he is happy
>>289321939If this was a battle shonen, Issho would genuinely be a top ten Jump villain. He may already be.
>>289321977Issho's going to declare Akane the winner and heap praise on Kaisei.
>>289322546Even as a sketch drawing, he's beautiful...
>>289322536>>289321939I honestly think he got super fired up watching their rakugo and wants to do his own Shinigami now. I can't imagine him picking between the two of them and crowning a winner just like that next chapter, they are definitely going to delay the issue somehow. Maybe he is going to criticize both of their performances, do his own Shinigami, maybe a full performance, maybe just small snippets, to show them how it's done, followed by both of them deciding to retire from the competition since they still see room of improvement in themselves or something like that?There's just no fucking way the Akane vs Kaisei competition is going to be decided in the next 1-2 chapters with no more big climax. Zero shot in hell.
>I heard about the bet you two had on your "date" >So I'll blueball both of you
Issho smiled during Akane's performance but not Kaisei's.
>>289323127From his reactions he definitely got more excited for Akane's performance.I think it's probably because it was consistently higher quality, she knew what she wanted to do and executed it flawlessly. Kaisei kinda stumbled around and while he ended up on a very high note it was a spur of the moment realization/ character growth moment and not something he worked towards or can easily replicate.
>>289321481>>289321519Really making those Maikeru shin'uchi test parallels obvious
>>289321320
>>289321986>>289322056yeah I was expecting that from the start. Issho is still the main event here
>>289321713What is this face supposed to convey?
>>289323433She just saw Kaisei himself, who she always considered to be in a completely different league, having a character growth moment because of how unbelievably hard Akane pushed him so she's in complete doomer mode doubting she's ever going to be able to catch up.
>>289321713Akane had a grudge from what Kaisei told her on chapter 70
>>289323433>>289323563Before she thought Kaisei is the closest to Shin'uchi out of anyone and would mog AkaneBut as it turned out it was Kaisei who had to play catch up to Akane who she always considered to be roughly on her own level so her entire world view is collapsing
>>289323563>Akane-chan pushed this dude to be stronger...>He's been pushing Akane-chan to be stronger too...Btw anime op had Boss Fight Kaisei play as Okiku from Okiku's Plates, y'know Hikaru's specialty
>>289323680Yeah no shit. That chad stride has been on her mind rent free for 3 years
>>289323433She's having mixed feelings because she's happy for Akane and sad she's so far ahead. Hikaru's been pretty emo for this whole boat ride.>>289323702It was Hikaru who told Akane that Kaisei would be chasing her someday. She probably didn't expect to be the very next day though.
>>289321309So blowing out the candle actually did kill the kid? That's a heckuva tweest alright.
>>289323433Can't compete
Hikaru really needs a win some time. I feel bad for her
If I had to rank Akane, Kaisei, Karashi, and Hikaru in terms of skill, Hikaru is at the bottom. Karashi is next, but every now and then he could pull off a hat trick of sorts to be on the same level as Akane and Kaisei.
>>289324439She already won once.
Btw since there's an anime exhibit they decided to give Akane, Kaisei, Hikaru and Karashi some status charts. Also no one seems to share a good quality Hikaru chart (I did see better res for the other 3, and they wrote Akane's name wrong)So it's like this>Rakugo SkillAkane: 4/5Kaisei: 5/5Hikaru: 3/5Karashi: 3/5>Competitive SpiritAkane: 4/5Kaisei: 3/5Hikaru: 5/5 (of course)Karashi: 1/5 (kek)>Athletic abilityAkane: 4/5Kaisei: 4/5Hikaru: 3/5Karashi: 2/5>ConcentrationAkane: 5/5Kaisei: 5/5Hikaru: 4/5Karashi: 3/5>IntelectAkane: 1/5 (my dumb wife)Kaisei: 4/5 (together with Akane they make a 5!)Hikaru: 2/5Karashi: 5/5 (expected)>"Hitotarashi"Akane: 5/5Kaisei: 2/5Hikaru: 3/5Karashi: 4/5>OverallBoth Akane and Kaisei have 23/30 (according to Issho they both suck)Hikaru is 20/30Karashi is 18/30
>>289321348Holy shit, he's a zombie!
>>289324785>Kaisei: 2/5Did Akane rank this one
>>289322685Or does he get more happy when he is evil?
>>289324855I mean depending on what meaning you wanna take "Hitotarashi" as Kaisei in NOTA) CharismaticB) A swindler
>>289322192She doesn't watch the anime.
>>289324439She won 1st place when Taison had to rank the Karaku Cup trio (he only put her in first place because he's scared she'll yell at him; Karashi is the true no.1 in his heart)
>>289321977>You both get expelled
>>289325950hey it's a heart shape
>>289321713I'm sorry, but you can just tell from this page Hikaru had her way with Akane. Kaisei is a cuck.
>>289326487Please stop posting your fanfics in this board, Hikaru
>>289326248>hey it's a heart shape
>>289321977"BOTH SUCKED!YOU'RE EXPELLED"
>>289321939>>289321977God he's such a dick.
>>289324572>>289324785We powerscaling now.Can't deny the magazine the series is in, huh.
>>289325950>>289326740>I request you don't expell us broinb4 Issho gave her that request then immediately dropped the Isshokai on them just to make her waste it on this moment
>>289326888What if he JUST expells Kaisei and Akane saves him?
Akane was a brat
Him expelling them both would be hilarious. But I expect him to give Akane the win.
>>289326981>Humiliate my Pupil in front of 1000 people during his Shin'uchi test a la El Padre Concreto>Make him seethe so hard he wants to prove himself>Call him and the Daughter of El Padre Concreto over to dinner to discuss her win at Zuiun>Praise Daughter of El Padre Concreto in front of pupil to make him seethe harder>Bait Daughter of El Padre Concreto with a "grant you any request of mine" (give her time to decide on what to ask)>Bait Pupil with chance to prove himself at Isshokai with a show with Daughter of El Padre Concreto>Leave the room knowing Pupil will convince reluctant Daughter of El Padre Concreto (she might be a Shiguma kid and with a grudge towards but she's kinda obsessed with beating Pupil)>Both bait themselves into doing a repeat of Pupil's failed Shin'uchi test. This is hilarious>"random" order has her go first so he got a disadvantage and lose>he's also pulling an El Padre Concreto (I don't like El Padre Concreto's rakugo)>Become the one who decides the winner even if audience wants tie>Threaten Pupil over the Concrete realm so Daughter of El Padre Concreto yells "NOOOO!! DON'T MAKE HIM EL PAPI CONCRETOOOO!!!">She burns her request to save Pupil>Now I don't have to answer her shitKeikaku Doori
Btw Shinigami is based on a Grimm Brothers' tale called "Godfather Death">A poor man decides to find a Godfather for his 13th (and last) child>He ends up choosing Death as the Godfather because unlike God who condones poverty, or the Devil who deceives mankind, Death doesn't discriminate>then story goes the same, Death tells the boy to become a doctor and what to do when death is at the head/feet of the ill (the rakugo chose the inverse for the victim's fate), then the boy becomes famous>One day the King falls ill, and is to die but the boy takes pity on the king and tricks Death>Death actually gives the boy another chance because he's his Godson>So the boy tricks Death again because the King's daughter fell ill and he was promised her hand in marriage, the crown and he wanted pussy>Death then kills him for real by extinguishing his candle
>>289321546Sorry Kaichi, Kaisei is used to compliments cloaked in several layers of grouchiness and emotional repression.
