>>289686699Might be, his face is spotless in early panels
>>289686715Leon has a big chin like Jonouchi so it's obvious he would get fire powers.We're getting JOHN THUNDER vs LEON FIRE somewhere down the line

Hard to find a shot where Pano is standing next to someone. No proper height comparison yet.Maybe it's artistic license or just inconsistency but I remember Leon being much bigger when he first appeared.>>289686644>>289686699It's the spot where John punched him

>it'a Leon arcfinally!
Always thought Leonfags were the worst and now it's months worth of Peeon shit.
I could see Oscar betraying Leon and that being the last straw that pushes him over the edge into full blown schizo. Like Leon just starts hallucinating that everybody he doesn't like is actually John so that he can justify killing people without betraying his own ethics/moral code - that level of schizo. He always seems like he's about to snap any minute.
>>289687706Family>Religion>>289687796Shut up Oscar
>>289686137His ears look really off here lolBased protector of children though
>>289688067he is mutating slowly
>>289687435>Live, Leon.>becomes an immortal burning messiah for a bunch of retardskino incoming
Interesting that they comment how these tribe guys are not ordinary. Could be a hint that these guys are adapters as well, but I think they either developed their own skill to not be detected or they are similar to Alda.Fire seems like a basic choice for Leon. It's not that bad since John is lighting but I thought the ??? in his profile meant something completely bonkers. Also, it means that ice user Pano needs to watch out.
>>289685951Leon the MOTHERLY>>289686046Leon the HAYAI>>289686077Leon the MERCIFUL>>289686225Leon the MESSIAH>>289685990>Future sight out of nowhere uhhh, be careful with such an addition ...Funny ass chapter regardless. Was laughing my ass off the entire time, especially imagining /mad/s reaction to each page.
>>289685885this chapter restored my faith in the manga it was going down a dull and generic path, but seems it was just temporary.
Can Leon the Savior defeat the vile evildoer John Thunder?
>>289686077>>289686092Love how expressive his monster faces are.
>>289687629Bob is gonna behead you with his laser for this you philistine
>>289685923He took his first stepsHes on his way to duel BongoWhen it happens I will make Amv set to My Way ala wrestlemania 17
>>289687818Pigly is really keeping him grounded.Not good for the baby long term though. Leon will still beating on Pigly like his father did him.
>>289686161He's fodder for B.O.B.
What a great an unexpected chappy. Is Leon the deuteragonist now?
>>289686894They are melons Udderly delicious
>>289689616Leon is the protagonist but mangaka cant write two mangas at once so we have two dudes who are both right and will duel to death
I think the funniest thing here is that Leon is actually a very good parent.
>>289689775Does the author have it in him to break these two apart?
>>289686046hyperkino
>>289689775don't tell me you didn't read the flashback anon
>>289689907As sad as it is, yeah they're going to have to separate. Yeah he's a good parent for right now. But he has attachment issues and he'll start beating on him eventually like his father did. MAYBE he'll prove us wrong though, but I dunno.
>>289689907?
>>289689775Leon will solve humanity going extinct If it wasnt for the aliens he would have 25 kids and be a widower on a farmHis wife wouldve birthed till she could birth no more
>>289685962Leon is a garloid farmer too? Holy based
>>289686137our FUARKING heroes!
>>289690101This is the kind of shit hitler would commision from Arno Breker for propaganda purposesAnd it would work
>>289690206I'm joining the Leonwaffen
>>289686225based Leon
>>289690239Welcome to the family
Where would you place Oscar? On Luo's level?
>>289690396We have no real idea what either of them can actually do, we know Oscar can emit acid and he has mediocre stats but other than that they're both a big question mark.He might as well be fodder for Alda right now and he's certainly marked for death, whether it is Luo, Alda or even Leon who'll do him in is up in the air.
>>289690396>>289690525Base Bob with preptime hard diffs oscarLuo mid diffs oscarB.O.B one hits oscar Luo (boosted by promise of mollesting alda) two hits oscar
Hmm, so there's at least one new adaptor - the boss of the bandits. And are the Rolodov tribe adaptors? Leon marked them as not regular humans and I can't really imagine there being some other mystical power in this world other than the adaptors. Then again, there's a guy who can see the future? Also, the alien invasion happened like a few years ago, right? How are the Rolodovs mythical? Were they known about even before the invasion? Is this precognition thing related to aliens after all then? Like they were experimented on before the invasion so there are "old" adaptors out there?
>>289690793They are all different types of experiments. I think MAD's world is probably some type of colony and people from earth use them as guinea pigs
>>289690793I think the entire prophecy thing is just complete bogus and a coincidence which sets on Leon on some adventure, it's most likely going to be an absurd coincidence which starts the domino falling in place for Leon's own arc.The Yazurists were also total nutcases and MAD seems to be decidedly hard sci-fi so far with no magic bullshit, so unless Otori wants to introduce ESP mutations or some shit this will most likely be a reverse Yazur church where Leon becomes the unwitting prophet of a bunch of people who worship him without him having to gaslight people like Yazur did.>Were they known about even before the invasion?No idea, if Leon knows about them it's likely?The idea of a primitive society with seers and shit seems a bit antithetical to the society of whatever planet MAD is set in and it's unlikely to be some post-invasion thing if Leon is aware of them, but the manga is vague about these things so it might as well be either.
>>289690396i'd place oscar in the trash where he belongs
>>289691067>I think the entire prophecy thing is just complete bogus and a coincidenceIf they just said something vague, sure, but to predict his chin?>so far with no magic bullshitPredicting future is actually a sci-fi trope. If they were messing with aliens maybe it allowed them to see the future.
>>289691854>but to predict his chin?Could've been Superman
>>289690990Alda is definitely one.
>>289691067Your onto something. If they can read the future, then they can manipulate it too. Leon might just be a pawn in whatever plan they have. Noway its a your our Chosen one bs. I think its a trap.
>>289692481Nah, Leon is the hero we deserve. The true and only chosen one.
>>289691854>but to predict his chin?It's a running gag so yeah, I could totally see it being yet another gag>>289692481As I said I can see the Rolodov people being a total opposite of the Yazurists and being decent forest people/stoners who end up worshipping Leon due to a hilarious twist of fate and become Leon's second family and mitigate his schizo side a bit.It's likely that the Rolodov are getting harassed by the bandits with the adaptor boss and some stoner seer has a trip where he sees a hero that looks like Leon coming along and rescuing them from the evil bandits.We just had a long arc with John&Co. having to deal with a fake church lead by a schizo adaptor, having the same exact thing but with Leon would be pretty lame, I can see Otori turning this on its head for fun shenanigans and possibly have Leon going through reverse/bizzarro arcs that mirror John's until the finally meet again.
>>289686121Oh my god Leon is an eunch!
>>289692787It's not a gag to the point of not existing within a story. Bulging muscles, and a chin, and a child? If this was actually foretold it's not just a gag.
>>289687470saved
>John Thunder versus Leon Fire
>>289693412Achully, Leon is ?
>>289693514>2 intelligence
You think this is just a one-off chapter to catch up with Leon?
>>289689725Guaranteed kino then.
>>289694242The Grius gang are heading to the same forest aren't they? So I think Leon will be the protagonist for the time being, while John and everyone else are travelling. I would imagine they'll eventually meet at the climax of this new arc we're about to start.
>>289693514>Atribute: AbuseLmao
>>289689616Always was.
>>289690990>I think MAD's world is probably some type of colony and people from earth use them as guinea pigsTake it you liked Claymore?
Rate them.
I glad the author finally got tired of that incel loser John SHITder so we finally return to our hero Piggly and his doting (adoptive) father Leon. Oh, and Oscar I guess. Piggly WILL get his revenge on John.

MAD is a manga about family, and that's what makes it great.
>>289697605
>>289695575Never read Claymore, I will read it someday
>>289686550Oscar actually works as a scumbag with recurring joke level hate sink status though, unlike "that man".
It's so weird seeing Oscar and Leon in the new artstyle.
>>289698010That Man is great though, "me"
>>289687472Run away really fast because I must've come across some sort of gay rapist Terminator
>>289685923>>289686003Oskar is starting to look breedable
>>289688544>Fire seems like a basic choice for Leon. It's not that bad since John is lighting but I thought the ??? in his profile meant something completely bonkersTo be fair, the adapter powers so far are fairly "grounded" for superpowers(which I think is good). Elemental stuff mostly, with Yazur having the most fantastical with his element being explosions. Fire is a cool, powerful choice, pretty much the strongest unused one I can think of without jumping the shark into magic/conceptual stuff. I guess maybe he could have been lasers/light?
>>289686046yooooooooo
>>289686237emma is gonna come back as an alien
>>289698984We've said it before, but she's 100% either going to be used by the alien queen as a body somehow, or be rebirthed as some kind of hybrid that they're making out of the biomass the aliens collect.
Leon posters getting good panels this chapter
>>289699977He looks hella weird in the current style, but at the same time I like how he does look more unhinged than he did before
>>289687538>The author has a weird sense of humorAnd I love it
>>289687540Better than part 2
>>289699977We'd been edged with extras for a while, it's about time.
>>289685923Look at Pigly and Oscar's hair, they have been searching for John for months
>>289685943Pigly settles the goat debate by choosing leo Messi
>>289687540Fujimoto wished he could write without le irony.
i hope Leon stays safe, i dont want to see him get killed, he's my boy
Pigly tells us there will be a Part 2 with a timeskip.
Bongo vs Pigly
>>289685923lol
>>289686161the femboy wiho needs HRT
>>289707457Leon truly has the strongest, most unshakeable will in the series, if it was some of "us" there instead, Oscar would be Pigly's new mom.
>>289708463Oscar been bishonen'd
>>289708463oscar makes a cute jimiko
>>289709297he needs anal correction
>>289710027Bob, calm down!
>>289703928Yeah, looking at how much hair John and Oscar grew It's probably been around half a year or so since the fall of Jericho, Pigly is also clearly older and has started walking and talking a bit so it might even be closer to a year or so.
>>289685951Oscar vs Bob SOON

>>289686199>>289686225He’ll hard counter Pano with his new Flame powers
>>289686237We had Diana vs Oscar chapter
>>289686374He needs it since he’s horribly outmatched currently
>>289699977You know it
So does this cult or tribe want Leon because the vision their guy had involved leo being the guy John goes through to put an end to the aliens all together or something? Like an important missing piece /sacrificial lamb situation?
>>289693514They need to give Leon a Chin strike move then
>>289712004Probably just that helping and buffing Leon up will potentially lead to the best future for everyone in the end.They were just introduced and found this chapter so there’s not much to go on.
>>289689373With the power of Family he can
>>289685923Slap some titties on Oscar and holy shit.

>>289714387But John doesn't have that chin

>>289716233*had
>>289716233It’ll be John Thunder team’s daily lives while Leon is going through his training arc.
>>289715024You sure about that?
Leon needs some SERIOUS buff because in his current state he will get fodderized by Pano let alone horned John
>>289717161The only way to get a buff is to eat an adaptor but then you turn into Yazur. Even if Leon manages, we already know that Yazur-level threat is no match for JON SANDA, so I don't know how can Leon become a relevant threat. Maybe he won't and he has a different role?Maybe the story will lean more into the alien lore and go full Guyver.
>>289717278maybe humans are the real aliens...
>>289717543Koffkaesque
>>289717278Love me some Guyver armor
>>289717867Guyver was the coolest shit ever.
>>289717278I could see Leon doing the same thing as Yazur but his schizo family brain wins out over going insane so he just gets crazy powerful and keeps “growing” his family by eating people
>>289717161Leon is a bit ambiguously powered because all we've seen him do is lose to fully transformed John, who's a lot stronger than even Pano, the only time he's fully transformed since then was for just a second to fully obliterate Yazur. You could believably say he's Pano level imo, since he was the strongest of the Jericho group by far and fought regular horned aliens before.You're right that he doesn't really pose a direct threat combat-wise now though, especially to the full group. But he doesn't necessarily have to be one, we'll have to see where his plot goes.Also what >>289718162 said, I feel like we're set up for a case where cannibalism "works", and Leon seems like a good candidate for it.
>>289717278>Leon GiganticAs much as I'd like to he's not going down that path.Leon might somehow evolve in his own way without the cannibalism gimmick, he already knew about it when he mentioned how Matilda, one of Jericho's adaptors, did that but that didn't go anywhere and he doesn't seem like he's interested in doing that.
>>289718399>Leon starts accepting everyone into his "family" by eating them>his extreme autism keeps him semi-saneTOGETHAAA
>>289708463Even if you can chalk some changes to art evolution, his design changes make sense in universe. Longer hair is obvious, squinty eyes and eyebags because he gets no sleep, more angular facial features due to malnutrition / less food intake.
>>289718590>and he doesn't seem like he's interested in doing thatOnly because it's so risky. But that was his first thought and he'll come back to it where there's nothing else.

Alda is cool and all, but he's got to have some kind of superpower or something beyond "he trained as a gladiator" right? Because otherwise if a normal human can continuously beat aliens solo with just some swords it makes it hard to believe humanity ever lost.
>>289723993Penis in Pano knows no bounds.
>>289728983His flashback teased that there's something more to him. Maybe a hybrid experiment on aliens or something.
