>>290058242He IS bored.
>>290058672Garbage, Kaji didn't agree to the bet against the old man. Unless the old man can read his mind.

I wish the translation for this would get redone
>>290063151>my feet hurt>these guys are loud>I wish I was at home making coffee
>>290058758I love how everyone hypes up Baku like he's The Enigmatic Gale in the manga. Just constant sweating>Usogui could be here...>HE COULD BE GAMBLING RIGHT THIS MOMENT>He's actually just jerking it in a woman's business suit again
>>290061464Weekly, the guy was hardcore grinding out his artistic skills in between chapters. He was a hair stylist beforehand I think
>>290059808Gambling until Marco gets Kaioken x 5
>>290059234this whole sequence of them protecting the little man is so funny
>>290063861>Hair stylist to mangaka to MMA fighterHuh
>>290059390>>290059420ENTER
>>290063833To be fair there's like a dozen characters that get hyped up like this in the manga
>>290063861>He was a hair stylist beforehandA lot about this manga's art makes sense now
>>290059275>Casual psychopath versus competitive psychopath
>>290063833Don't you dare diss The Great Breast Mission!
>>290063962He always did MMA casually, he just got bored of being a hair stylist and decided to make the most cerebral nonsense gambling manga.>>290064036Uosgui's fabulous hair didn't clue you in? Yeah though, it's bizarre.
>>290064020Yeah, though non nearly as much as Usogui I think. Maybe Leader or Yakou? But he's not the main character so he's just a background.>>290064057Of course, my mistake
>>290064109Doing MMA casually is still doing MMA, you know? You don't go in amateur matches all whoopsy daisy.
>>290059743>>290062981Yeah, though this page isn't the most technically impressive it's really well composed
>>290064160I mean that he devoted more focus on it after Usogui ended from what I can gather out of his posts
>>290059791Enter the worst arc in the series!
>>290064252I'm excited to finally find out where this dogshit opinion comes from.How is the abandoned building better?
>>290064327 I mean its not that bad, but the villain sucks and is lame. Hus death was a really lame last mintue character assassination. The real issue though is the retarded "twist" that is litteraly impossible si fi nonsense. No other arc has a sci fi magic twist so it stands out so much more
>>290064327>>290064252NTA but Hangman is one of the worst but I'm not sure it's strictly the worst. The one preceding this one and Kaji's parents are pretty bad both but it's not so much a quality thing or the style of the game, but rather I think the Toshio didn't properly understand the stakes or what works for Usogui in terms of pacing, so we get a sizeable arc with not much going on that serves as nothing but leadup introducing new characters and then a cliffhanger that basically goes "Baku failed, but actually not really, but actually, but actually not really" To be fair, I do think it's still a good arc as are the others I talk about, but while Abandoned Building had mystery, grit, and stakes that were well balanced between action and gambling, Hangman kind of has two separate gambles going on at the same time which are both connected and independent of each other, and the splitting up the time between the two does nothing here. Compare that to Air Poker, which also has two games going on at the same time except they're both related and the focus isn't split between Air Poker and Iron Maiden Poker Fair warning for sizeable spoilers.
>>290064426foreshadowing for it has already begun however.My issue isn't the level of technology it's leader gassing him up when Kengan absolutely should have already found out about his tricks.At least we can both agree that things just keep getting better after this.
>>290064426 I can also get down with this idea, the guy had very little buildup and wasn't really connected to a big time antagonist or Usogui's plan, while also being kind of an annoying asshole. Yeah the turn around that he's basically larping and pretending to be in control is interesting but I think ultimately it's a nothingburger that's just there for the very memed on Usogui enters a gamble to bait someone into a gamble style of plot progress
>>290064508"I" called Kakerou "Kengan"I also keep wanting to write KagerouMy brain can't handle these similiar names.
>>290064591>Retarded organization of superhumans and insane business owners who want to witness as much human suffering as possible so they can get hard and avoid assassinations and disputes over property>Insane organization of superhumans and retarded business owners who want to witness as much human suffering as possible so they can get hard and avoid civil war when a politician refuses to pay off his gambling debtsI can see how you can get that confused
>>290064591Sex with Hidefu Kitayan's Kagerou.
>>290064109He started going to a martial arts gym and getting /fit/ during Usogui's run, we'll see the omake later.
I like the upcoming arc now, but there's many plotlines you won't fully understand until later, so to be fair I don't know how it can not be confusing on a first read.
>>290064252Hangman sucks but I actually like the Marco/Leo/Kyara fight.
>>290058738So,Is it Hal?
I like the contrast between how Toshio and FKMT write their characters during big brain games.If Morita were in one of these games, he would reveal at the end that he had a come up with a plan B (and C through Z) beforehand in case his failed at first
>>290059353Reread this again, i'm surprise he's not using his needle fuckery here
>>290064252It's fine since the manga really picks up after it
>>290064426> No other arc has a sci fi magic twistI was going to say that human ecolocation is up there, but apparently this shit is possible to learn in real life
>>290064964 Yes but it's probably not concrete yet
>>290065051that's practically how blind people seehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAtVOK04XvA
>>290058738oyakata looking kind of strange here
I see it's barcode hours
>>290064924It's a good one.
>>290065346It's been like this since Chapter 1 and that says something about this manga's continuity.
>>290065142>>290065051A lot of this also is visualization and letting go of your fear of hitting the wall>>290065346Hey man, there's always going to be barcodes when discussing this manga until the very last episode. And even then, there's the excellent Yakou volume to read and discuss which'll have to be spoilered until the last chapter.
>>290063833>Enigmatic GaleWHO THE FUCK DID YOU JUST MENTIONED
>>290065716Ry-Ryou Fuu Setsu Jin? Apologies but I don't have the sweating gif

>>290059816Foreshadowing
>>290065844Good one.
>>290060103>All the panel with foreshadowing
>>290065844We're in quite the dilemma here>don't spoiler and ruin the nu-anon experience with outright schizophrenic ramblings about future plot beats and the FORESHADOWING>spoiler and have discussion be insularThat's just the nature of the adventures of Bakuboy, Godco, and the Clever-Creep
>>290065346First time reader here, I'd rather have this than some schizo shitting up the thread like in the Dungeon Meshi daily.
>>290066132What happens in the Daily Meshis?
>>290066197A schizo posted pages of huge spoilers in the middle of the dump. Faggot has been a constant nuisance since the Meshi anime aired.
>>290066272Kek, that happens fairly often everywhere there's some discussion though but I'll take it that he does that literally every thread. Sucks though, Meshi is pretty good not much foreshadowing though
>>290059711>>290059722>>290059743>waku waku
>>290066596Usogui and Nowami aren't doing waku waku stuff actually, Nowami is responsible for cultivating new referees and also a bit of a sadist, Baku's trying to play off of Nowami's public mask to fool him into thinking Baku just wants a suicide gamble again where he's really just trying to play the leader (again) So they're basically both using waku waku as a deception against the other
>>290060209i wish baku-san would praise me too
>>290066272Sounds like the dude who got super offended by the WHA storytime
>>290060840Thank you for posting.
>>290066272And it has nothing to do with DM itself, its all because it was animated by Trigger. If anything touched Trigger he schizos
>>290065010There's tons of witnesses
bump
>>290059743Guys, I'm starting to think the people in this story may not be of sound mind...
>>290074613You don't say?
Saigo no banpu
>>290060238>FUCKING HATE THIS PIECE OF SHIT HOPE HE DIES CHOKING ON HIS OWN DICK>i like to goomble :)
So, Kaji's gamble is actually Baku's bait for another gamble...?
>>290079258*unwraps kariume*
Pay close attention to almost every panel of leader this arc. I don’t think it’s possible to enjoy Usogui to its full extent unless it’s on a reread
>>290058738Who was this again? I forgot.
Had no clue what was going on in hangman first time thoughHated it on my second readingLiked it on my third reading
>>290079710It's not complicated though
>>290079710Kinda same.>>290079738I think it is on a first read. When you know the characters and concept that get introduced, and how they will matter in the story, it's much easier to grasp.
>>290079738I am not a smart man
>>290079811The situation around it can be confusing but the game itself is simple I mean.
>>290079864Agree.
>>290079864>why is he talking about aliens?>who are these politicians?>why are people fighting in the woods?>who was phone?
Who’s more handsome, locked in Kaji, Leader or Baku?
>>290058064Could Usogui beat Nao tho?
>>290080017Baku would feel immense guilt playing mindgames with her nonexistent poker face and wouldn't be able to play at full strength, which would actually be part of Akayama's plan, which would actually be part of Baku's plan, which would actually be part-
>>290079988I am partial to leader, especially later on
>>290080017Baku Nao momentSONNA>>290080081kek
>>290080017She wouldn't even be worth opening a kariume for.
>>290080304Nao, you are a big… truther?
Do you want me to start a new thread or continue here?
>>290080780Might as well continue here ig? Plenty of posts until bump limit.
Sure will continue here
>>290081002>Baku suddenly gets a lot more attractive
>>290081016Oh it's not that "the art gets better" over time.The more gambles the characters have, the prettier they become! Sasuga Toshio-sama I kneel!
>>290080972I know he's not really an ally but he feels so reliable...
>>290081159He will protect them all
>>290081018I just realized, Kaji's very first words in this manga are something he says to be of use to Baku.
>>290081162WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3
>>290081162Sick
>>290081162kino
>>290081225You wanna learn how to do a fuckin infinite! Would Romulo be Marcos Install?
>>290081315With the full context of the story, Rodem makes more sense as a clone character.
>>290081343Sadakuni's expression is somehow the only expression appropriate for this sceneConsidering we're at volume 4, it's pretty impressive Toshio had such a good grasp of expressions by then
>>290080972They even let pinheads become referees.even if this is not a "new" thread I shall make my 1st attempt now.
>>290081360Better not read the spoiler but it's probably important
>>290081440kek
>>290081428Close
>>290080932Marco is very well mannered
>>290080972The whole exclusive referee thing always seemed weird to me and gets even more so once having the number 0 ref becomes the condition for challenging the leader. Like what if the first ref you meet is just a shitter? Sucks to fuck?
>>290081091>too bad it was fuckWhat did he mean by this?
>>290081483I was merely giving you a taste of victory.Now check em
>>290081183>Baku if he was in his 40s
>>290081579Marco trying to learn swears
What do you think is the best arc?[Spoiler] Tower arc [/Spoiler] was pretty good imo

>>290081595Protoporos is so intricately woven with insane peaks.ctrl + s , anon : )

>>290081506Pesci pesci pesci pesci my dear pesci
>>290081645>But...what if...he actually messed up the spoiler on purpose? What is baku planning?
>>290081595All of Protoporos is fun, I love the bull arc as well for Kaji
>>290081664Baku... is an angler.
>>290081684You better shape up or we'll send Marco to get you.
>>290081679That was within my prediction.
>>290081689The TL note mentioned here:>Hamakou casino incident: a scandal in 1973, where a politician named Hamada Kouichi (nickname Hamakou) lost 490 million yen in a las vegas casino, and was later suspected of accepting bribes from lockheed, a US company, to pay for it
>>290081769So he's saying, are they [rich like] that politician? Got it, thanks.
>>290081761ENTER X19 I think only like 1-2 of these people get mentioned later by name.
>>290081761ENTER usMe 2nd from the left, 2nd from the bottom.

>>290081968Fucking rich people man
>>290081661You must reveal your favorite Touhou character, or if that is unfamiliar to you then your waifuConsidering what kinds of games we could play... I'd want to play a version of Hangman next but can't really think of a way to play over posts. Maybe there is a website for that.I'm also down to let another anon take a turn if they have any ideas.
>>290082068This cocky sonuvabitch
>>290082074You could play like this using the 4chanx draw function. Spoilered to not interrupt the image dump.
>>290082068Framing the image in leopard print (?) is certainly a choice. Maybe it's a "eerie" / "violent" screentone but it looks like leopard print.
>>290081401That knife is laughing
Goombling is like a fire...
>>290058064Oh damn, I was reading this earlier this year, stalled around chapter 360 for whatever reason. Guess this is a sign to resume.Also I have to say it's insane how much the art style changed over the first few volumes, after volume 5 or so it looks like it was drawn by a completely different person
>>290082074I have a few waifus:Gaming CammyAnime/Manga tia harribel and Boa HancockBooks From Sword of truth Cara MasonMy last 2 gf's were personalty wise also like them I have my type... For the gambles im always open for rounds just (You) me
>>290082312Wonder what Baku's thinking here. Is it just an observation? Is he mocking himself? Is he thinking how it will affect the gamble? Makes you think.
>>290082448ENTER house cat.
>>290082546Feels good man
>>290082735Peeing in the woods hits different.
>>290082849What a fearsome old(young) man!
>>290082864End of the storytime thanks for reading!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or the Fib Feaster will come for you!See you tomorrow for the first half of Volume 5 and the start of the game.Nowmy terrible drawing
I tried drying this picture from memory >>290059832 i thought his hair was darker
>>290058779oh shit they vaxxed him
>>290082891Arigatou OP.>>290082910You did the ink spots thing Sako does cool.
>>290082864>Vampire Usogui
>>290082910Brilliant, worth every risk.At the end of the next dump, would you be down for a competetive Jiggy run?I would provide two links for two different online jigsaws, each made with an image of our waifus.Other anons are allowed to join either one to help or to sabotage.
>>290083003Sure im down
So we have two games to look forward to next thread, one in the manga and one in the thread. Delightful.
>>290081554The way the leader explains it, luck is just as much a part of Surpassing the Leader as assets and gambling ability. You simply have to get lucky and have a referee capable of being #0 show up to be your exclusive referee. Which, of course, Baku did not once but twice
>>290082949Yeah i liked them and it was also the thing i remembered the best and went from there
I peeped that.
>>290082910>>290083003Amazing. Im keeping count
>>290083020I'll leave deciding how you'll pay me up to you :^) *peels banana*
>>290082891Thank you for posting
>>290081440yeah but you can tell this guy can shoot a bullet straight.
>>290083664*cant
>>290081689i feel kaji is the piccolo of this manga, he's just there to MASAKA?! and shit like that.
>>290081002Kaji has taken his "nutrients"
>>290081506Toshio is a great artist, but I fucking hate this panel that he often does where you see the character's face from a lower angle, but without a chin
>>290082546kek
>>290082181Holy shit I never noticed that
>>290082891thanks op. old maid, uh? sounds a bit too silly for a deadly game.
Wait, is Baku actually a bad guy?
>>290082891Thanks OP
>>290060209Kaji being so utterly starved for approval that he'd gladly jump in front of a gun just for praise is one of his more pathetic traits.
It's time to wage.I bet that in the next dump, OP will get at least two dubs
>>290082160It symbolizes how Baku is gonna spook his opponent
>>290081768you are...a liar!
>>290082336How wet was she when the outcome of this game was carried out?
>>290082448THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOO
>>290082546Saved by the pee
>>290084266What are you betting?
>>290084280Naruhodo. Very cute.
>>290060840Time for the first big gamble of the series. I forget how much actually gets established this arc like holy fuck on a reread there are so many relevant characters introduced throughout this ordeal.
>>290082757>TerroristThat title is somehow funny to me
>>290058672>won the betUh, I don't think he even agreed to the bet, right?>>290058779Well, that's a win entirely through luck.>>290059297Hm, after hyping up the organization so much, I'm surprised how easily a top employee gets low-diffed by the epxeriment of what seemed to be a relatively irrelevant memeber.>>290059353>unarmed everoyneOh he's 100% bluffing here, he definitely can't do that.>>290060398Is this actually in the manga or something the translator slapped on?>>290060461Pretty convenient that they didn't just blast him here, but I get that drawing aura farming is important.
So, did Samemaru survive?
>>290085314Yes.>>290059774
>>290084860>Is this actually in the manga or something the translator slapped on?It's a joke that happens 2-3 times in the first couple volumes, one of the gunmen in the abandoned building did it too. It is in the raw but doesn't show up after that, propably just a new mangaka experimenting with what types of jokes work.
>>290080972this man is literally my father
>>290081002they look a lot less like simpsons characters now
>>290081018>Maybe Baku-san is using me...>... That means he needs me and I can't leave his side!Kaji is delusional
>>290064993Morita gets shit on by his associates for going through with the sky high poker bluff because he doesn't have any outs if the main plan fails. This actually serves as a build up for Seikyo mahjong where Ginji abuses Morita's single-minded recklessness to set up his winning condition.That is to say, Morita really isn't the best example lol.
>>290081291Light Yagami didn't die, he escaped and became a kakerou referee
>>290085490I envy your mother
for laters arcs is there any game i should learn beforehand so i don't end up in a kaiji part 3 situation?
>>290086013Every game is fully explainer before it begins, just remember to pay close attention to small details.
>>290086013No, thinking through it, I can't think of anything that requires prior reading. A couple of games later on are Japanese schoolyard games that obviously you won't know, but their rules are thoroughly explained beforehand. There's also Battleship but everyone knows that one.
>>290060209It's happening "again"
>got so used to clicking the spoilers in the daily kengan from already knowing what happens that I'm just reflexively uncovering them here tooi'm having to hold my mouse arm back like that one scene from Dr Strangelove, "I" am still too "green"
>>290087045Leo is Referee #0 and Baku's childhood friendThe man Usogui left to die in a gamble in his place was Kaji's fatherMarco is referee Nowa's estranged sonSamemaru reappears in one of the later arcs and dies for BakuBaku genuinely does know Hokuto ShinkenKuroki was actually in this manga first, Sandro borrowed Sako Toshio's character with permission and was allowed to feature him in Kengan Asura
>>290087488YAMEROOOOOOO
>>290084860>experiment of what seemed to be relatively irrelevant membersReferee's are freaks of nature anon, anyone who is referee level has either exceptional luck, skill, or that raw violence. In this case, Marco basically got groomed to fight and be an axe-murderer for 8 years, which is by far more than most of the referees who are just>Le strong grit
>>290087488"Spoilers" are on the move...You forgot to mention that we actually see the MC of Batuque later, implying that it's actually a prequel to Usogui.
>>290083897You can tell the art is still kind of rough, this panel sort of disappears around the time of Karma
>>290087884I like to headcanon that Batuque and Genikasuri happen in the same verse as Usogui
>>290087993Genikasuri is still too early to rule either way.
>>290088105I wish it updated faster
>>290087993KY declaration guy is in Genikasuri and it's implied to be a sequel as he has made a comeback to TV. Also there was an unconfirmed yakou lookalikeOther than the few wasted chapters on the bare knuckle guy it's been good, I like it more than Batuque.
>>290088561Batuque was nice but it felt directionless, unlike Genikasuri. Helps knowing most of the cast in advance like with Usogui
>>290082546Kek, got me.
>>290082891Thanks.>>290082910SOVL
>>290088561Bare knuckle guy is cool..
>>290084266Im betting at least 5 digits from all of us
Are those live-action movies any good?
>>290082910Bros remember to always brush your teeth
>>290086013If you don't already know it, Poker
>>290087488kek>>290087993It's canon, there's a very slight confirmation at the end of Usogui.
I like death games and all in manga but does it even make sense to let the main character participate in them when it‘s obvious that the author isn’t going to kill him. I mean the manga is even named after his
>>290081162iconic page
>>290081362REF DOOO SOOMEEETHINGGGG
>>290091326Baku being an insane adrenaline junkie is absolutely central to his character and the gambles being ones where his life is one the line is important for establishing that even if we as the audience know that realistically there's no chance of him actually dying.
>>290091326Remember the that columbo is not a whodonnit, but a howdunnit. People can care for the procedure and not just the results
I don't know if you will see this OP but when we get the double spread covers I hope you can stitch them. I love when authors do those
Who's the biggest liar?Baku or the MC from Tomodachi game?
>>290091326Being named after the story isn't always a guarantee that the eponymous character will succeed>The Asura loses the Kengan Annihilation Tournament
>>290082735I understood that reference
Thank you OP. I was reading the last Usogui story time in the archives since there was no recent ones. Will be tuning in here.
>>290081554I believe there are ways to rig it. I vaguely remember Usogui doing something like that but I might be wrong here
>>290082891Thanks a lot OP
>>290091326I like the great gatsby and all but does it even make sense to write a tragedy about this guy when it's obvious the author isn't going to kill him? I mean, the book is even named after him.
>>290091326>>290092340>it's obvious the author isn't going to kill him Much much worse than that can happen
>>290082277>multiple waifus ShamefulIf you don’t put them on a pedestal you don’t have a waifu Claiming an emotional connection where there isn’t one only makes you look like a manwhore
>>290087993What is genikasuri? I haven’t heard of it yet
>>290098260Genikasuri is a manga by the same guy about organized boxing and more specifically on the management-side after the MC got stiffed and put in a 2 year coma from a bad fight. It's pretty good so far, just a bit slow. The fights have some good choreography and art, but it's more about the social element of the MC's push to bait rival gyms into bad positions.
>>290087993Yakou literally has a cameo in Genikasuri
>>290099676What? When? I read through it today for the first time and I didn't recognise Yakou. >>290098260Anon, I second the opinion of >>290099562.
Honestly what confused me most about this arc was Yakou’s twin and differentiating him
>>290099841>What? When?Chapter 27
>>290100137Is he balancing the bottle on his fingers?
Who's the weakest Usogui character that could defeat Rolon Donaire? I think Kadokura (forma sano) could high diff him.
>>290100137>Master BaristaAnon, that's clearly NOT Yakou he's talking about.
I love gambling(fictional)
>>290101693>(fictional)*unwraps kariume*(You)...are a big liar
>>290101356His thumb would be in the indent that wine bottles have
>>290099562I always liked the cerebral thriller elements of usogui more then the fighting, and I don’t think that this would do it for me (and I don’t consider a drama where people think through their actions to have the substance I seek. I need rules and logically sound plans)It’s sort of sad that this author focuses on the fighting so much, but it looks like other people are having fun, so I really can’t complain
>>290102011It's cerebral too, just in a different way with the hijinks around the ring.Similar to how Usogui is a battle manga with gambling or a gambling manga with battling, you can really flip it either way if you want.
>>290102011>>290102043It's very cerebral, I'd say in certain elements it's more cerebral than Usogui. There are actual fights, yes, and a big part of the manga IS the fighting, but the work the MC undertakes to set up the fight and even more swing public favor while also working in the background as the underdog is legitimately quite cerebral. It's bi-weekly and a bit slow to update though, so I don't expect we'll get an escalation to the big shit the same way we did for Usogui for quite a while. I'll admit I understand and share the sentiment but I still say you should check it out. It's only 38-ish chapters at the moment, very doable.
>>290102043>Usogui is a battle manga with gambling or a gambling manga with battling, you can really flip it either way if you wantUsogui... This is a story about breaking a curse (unironically).
>>290102495Usogui is about the friends we made along the way.
>>290102495What would "Usogui"'s stand be? [The Man Who Sold the World]? It'd be kino
>>290102563He does have a sort of Bowieish je ne sais quoi, doesn't he.
>>290102490Genikasuri has fun schemes especially in the Oga fight but it's mostly a drama imo... chapter 37 hits so hard with visual storytelling.>>290102642A high CHA stat as as we'll.see.>>290102563[3's And 7's] https://youtu.be/BgVfjXA_QY0?is=Uf3wRn9ezljIruNm
>>290102043>>290102490I understand that the characters will be using their wits to gain competitive advantages against eachother, but things like that are too broad and too fleshy for meIt isn’t as compelling when there are no rules and no match boundaries. It needs to be about construction under heavy constraints for the problem to feel distinctly solvable, and the problem needs to be solvable for the solution to satisfy meI may check it out, but I don’t think it will workI should write something
>>290102495
>>290100137Oh, yeah! That scene. I thought that was just a Yakou look-alike, because what would Yakou be doing here of all places? Besides, he doesn't have Yakou's curly eyebrows.
>>290103033
>>290102887Heh, that's good. Genikasuri baiting you in with boxing to present to you a character drama about a guy SNUBBED so hard by the system he turns into a mini-mafioso is a pretty interesting twist
>>290102935That's fair, though I don't think the point of the fights IS the fight. It's hard to really put it into words but all of fights so far have basically boiled down to public humiliation rituals meant to bait more and more prestigious boxing gyms into fights, and the elaborate ways the characters go about it is part of the appeal. I do recommend you at least check out the first couple of chapters
>>290102983
>>290103036It's more of a visual gag/inside joke I think, that's definitely not Yakou.
