>>290131090Wait, is that the Tintin rocket?
>>290131123>Don't get me wrong, I'm glad your prophetic comics have a happy ending, but I still prefer Pistol Hair.
Not to be rude but it would be greatly appreciated if you could post the chspter number at the start of each chapter. Makes it easier for people who will fibd this in the archive inbthe future or for people who stumble upon it in the catalogue if they want to join in.
>>290131207Shit, didn't mean to attach an image. Sorry.
>>290131207okchapter 44
>>290131090So if Kennedy lived he would have been Proto-Reagan?
>>290131276That's one grassy knoll
>>290131348This feels like the ending to that one fucked up Animal Man issue, right down to the 4th wall breaking final panel.
>>290131012>>290131065I love the unmistakable Tezuka influence on display here. I guess Kevin took a few pointers from New Treasure Island.
>>290131050>The northern territories have been returned to Japan!!Their smiles and optimism: restored.

>>290131332Oh shit you know it's serious when Billy releases the seal on his wings. Not like the shitty Culkin version where he's flaunting his secret flying technique like it's nothing special every issue.

>>290131113What a great ending!
>>290131332>unironically going "MR PRESIDENT GET DOWN!'I love this stupid manga so much.
>>290131050Masaka... The northern territories?
>>290131348Billy is fucking dead...
>>290131332KINOINO
>>290131384Time for Kevin to become a hero for his country.

>>290135540What?
>>290135587Oy vey...
>>290135840there was only ever just 1 OP
>>290135720Thanks OP the ?thI'm lost today
>>290131122Looks like a mix of the Tintin rocket and Thunderbird 3 to me
>>290135420Understandable reaction
>>290135649>>290135658Wtf?
>>290135587>>290135599WELL WELL WELL.As a reminder Kevin narrowly missed out on finding this out earlier when the Billy Bat Hour started playing in the bar of the cowboy weeb town.
>>290131588>>290133467You'll never guess what manga Billy Bat's co-author also wrote for.
>>290131332https://youtu.be/dI8RPO87vSc

I thought we were getting 1 chapter a day
>>290131027>>290131050And everyone lived happily ever after!Yeah....
>>290131145Urasawa forgot to flip the page here.
>>290131348>"That's ok, don't throw a fuss about it" while literally dyingLiterally me!
>>290135523Urasawa's expressions are really on point here. You can just feel the emotions of the characters.

If this a reference to the epilogue at the end then bravo.
>>290138791you tell me.
This whole story arc is pure unadulterated kino. I haven't read it in years, but I was sure it was the pinnacle of the story.

>>290131448It's a long shot, but I wonder if Animal Man or any Morrison's/Moore's/Milligan's comics influenced Urasawa a bit
>>290135599i hope urasawa is doing fine on the run from didney's assassin lawyers because there's no way he wasn't put on the mouse target list after a truth nuke like this
Billy Bump
>>290143521>assassin lawyersspoiler that shit man
>>290135720Thank you for posting!
Chuck fuckin'
>>290140351Kek.
>>290135356>Chuck Culkin likes to stare at the oceanI get the feeling this is foreshadowing of some kind.
>>290149283Probably
Bump
>>290135587Wait, THAT'S Chuck?! So the current owner of Billy just stole him from both of them?!
>>290150840Disney is a fucking asshole
>>290150840It was a fair and legal agreement.
>>290135587>It's Ub Iwerks but twice overBravo Urasawa
>>290135599So who the hell is this fucker then? It's wild how not only did he swipe Billy, he stole Chuck's identity on top of that.

This OP is definetly black, wtf are these watermarks?
>>290155581Finally, a REAL chapter of Billy Bat from the TRUE and HONEST creator, Kevin Yamagata.I guess I can forgive you for posting a chapter from that IMPOSTOR Chuck Culkin earlier.
>>290155680>>290155705My theory right now is that Kevin is seeing one bat and Chuck is seeing the other.I'm not sure which one is seeing the black bat and which one is seeing the white one, though.
>>290155788Surely, a trustworthy face right?
>mangastream watermarksholy flashbacks
doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>290155654Mangastream jumpscare
>>290155705He didn't even try with the eyes
>>290155954Thanks, Black Gawain.
>>290155941I can't believe Kevin is trying to kill Chuck.
>>290155595https://youtu.be/ld5m_Qyt0fQ
>>290149283>>290155632Huh, didn't think we'd come back to this so soon.
>>290155654>>290155960What the FUCK
>>290155954>Disney was the bat the entire time>All of humanity was hallucinating him
>>290155954Well thats...really unsettling.
>>290155954I wonder if body Chuck can see the bat or not
>>290155954hahgaaaaaaaaaaaaay
>>290155632UMI DA
>>290155954Gay not gonna lieThanks OP
I'll come back in a few weeks when Hitler appears.
>>290155803Kek
>>290135599Was Walt Disney evil?
>>290155613why didn't he just fly
>>290145789bro, we're in the billy bat thread, we already know too much
>>290155705moefags, i swear to god
>>290158822And get naked in front of a lady? Come on.
Chuck Culkin? More like Cuck Chudkin.Give me true hardboiled American Billy Bat which only Kevin Yamagata could draw.
>>290155954Thanks for the dump
>>290158934lol
>>290159017Only commies like that forced drama edgy japshit>billy can't fly because uhhh uhhhh.....No thanks, give me Billy written by a REAL American
>>290158740Oh fuck. Is this the manga where the Hitler and Einstein conversation where Einstein thanks Hitler comes from?
>>290160966Yeah.
>>290160966>>290161045that's not an edit???
>>290161191It's been a while since I read this, but I believe not.
>>290161191Nyo, it should take some months to reach it though.
>>290160966>Einstein thanks HitlerI don't remember that part
>>290161504That was an edit making fun of the AOT ending
what inspired billy bat? I never read this manga but I feel like I saw the bat before but idk where. Was it big on mangastream back then?
>>290161639It just resembles the early animal cartoons.
>>290161639>but I feel like I saw the bat before but idk whereHave you ever been to Japan?
>>290160966>>290161191That part is an edit, Hitler and Einstein talk about the bat and its potential power. The common version posted is an edit made to laugh at retarded shit in SnK/AoT.>>290161406It's chapter 102, 99 and 100 are where Hitler first shows up though.
>>290158804Irl? It's complicated. Depends on your definition of evil. He was far from a spotless individual but some people tend to attribute to him faults he did not have.
>>290161639we just don't knowa good part of the manga was scanlated by mangastream too though
>>290163393just learned that guy singing this "fell" to his death from second floor balconyreally worried for urasawa now
to be honest hitler appearing would be pretty tame by the standards this manga set out in the beginning with fucking judas.
i guess one of the things people can get from this arc is imagining 'would the world really be THAT much better had JFK survived the assassination attempt?'personally, i kinda doubt it, i guess people, the author here included, are seeing him as some sort of martyr, putting him on a really tall pedestal just for the fact that he died, but probably, had he survived, things would go pretty much the same.
>>290164904obviously, but he1. had a great speechwriter2. died (and importantly died before the illusion could be dispelled) so he became a mythic figure. but honestly you can't really apply that kind of criticism to historical fiction like this, especially stuff from a foreign perspective, just have to accept the basic tropes and meet the narrative where it is.
bumo
/pol/ redpilled me and now im a firmly believer that Oswald didnt do it
>>290165984Well if you look at who benefited it's obvious it wasn't him. A bit on the nose of them to use a mentally ill Jewish ganster to off Oswald though,
>>290161639>what inspired billy bat?Some people believe Urasawa was inspired by Tezuka Osamu's Phoenix, which is also an omnibus story about a bunch of people from all sorts of different time periods going through their own shenanigans trying to understand a supernatural animal thing
>>290165984Do you believe Auschwitz was a summer camp or that the moon landing was fake?
>>290167906>Auschwitz was a summer campNo>the moon landing was fakeUhh, give it like 50 more chapters I think?
>>290167906Kubrick didnt do it
>>290167906There's a magnitude of difference between killing a dude and those things
>>290155632Drawing water is hard. I always appreciate well drawn water.
>>290155844>sir, a second bat has appeared
>>290155954My, How utterly homosexual!
>>290167617Yeah, I definitely got the impression that this was Urusawa's take on Pheonix, just with a darker twist on the concept.
billy bump
>>290169086He was the most influential person in America at the time
>>290173795he wasn't even the most influential person in his own administration.
>>290173982He was in the public's eye
>>290155914>Elizabeth TaylorHe met HER and he didn't even allow actual Chuck to see her? What a bastard.

>>290184350You used to be able to just walk into people houses before 9/11
what would sneed's billy bat have been like
>>290184350He killed all the cowboys...
>>290182359That doesn't sound like something you can force him to do.>>290182375Though he is an easy man so you don't have to force him.
>>290182660Thx buddy.
>>290178140until recently there were only mangastream scans of chapters 46-53 and 137-165however, it seems some ry0sen guy has been retranslating the manga from the start and is up to chapter 93 but he uploads only to comix so I guess op is unaware
>>290178208>Work for a guy for half a decade >Who the fuck is this guy eh? Somethings about the Billy time skips are rather silly
>>290182499The detective's face in the bottom right panel is immensely amusing to me but I'm not sure why
>>290182404This is more of a Florida thing thanks to Wet Foot Dry Foot but ye, native Cubans will absolutely beat the shit out of you if they hear you support communists/the Castros
>>290155680>>290155705are there really no versions without watermarks?
>>290158804He was ambitious, and did a lot of nasty stuff. I wouldn't call him evil, though. And the world is more interesting due to him having existed.
>>290184954>op is unawareMany such cases.
>>290177915you have to remember, mangastream wasn't a good scanlation team
>>290178123please don't
>>290186535you also have to remember billy bat was getting dropped left and right like hot potato so there are no alternatives>>290155748>>290186418read the threads maybe?
>>290186875>niggastream defenderswew
>>290178208Whoever he is, he's a world class gaslighter.
>>290182660Thank you for posting!
>>290187120If you want a version with no watermarks, you're going to have to typeset the whole manga. This isn't an issue of aggregators slapping a watermark onto clean scanlations, mangastream were the scanlators to begin with.
>>290187120>defendersstating facts is defense?
>>290182565Woah, calm down there, Oswald.
Chuck chuklin is unironically the best Urasawa villain
>>290183002I'm not sure I've ever seen someone say this in the wild.
>>290191783What about Sneed Sucklin?
>>290194490You mean Sneed Snedlin.
>>290182648>>290182660its him! the famous creator of the Billy Bat comi, Chulk Culkin!
I have to give ir to urasawa even if i dont like his works, using Walt disney as the main villain is bold as raw as fuck
>>290182341Look at that smile.
>>290197671The glowies are the main villain, Disney's just sort of attached.
>>290194359People are a lot less ashamed to be openly communist these days. And everyone generally understands that marxists are the same thing.
>>290196935He is so cool...
>>290182375>>290182391>>290182404Oswald no one told you to wear a sign sucking Castro off or to throw out pro-Castro anti-America slogans. You were just supposed to hand out folders and say "I'm a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee".
>>290182660Thanks OP.
>>290200151commies are still laughed atat least in america they still are
>>290182660thanks for the dump
>>290197671Wait until THAT chapter, than its even MORE unhinged
>>290205670How many more THAT chapters does this manga have?
>>290205694Enough to keep people reading to the end, which is also one of those chapters itself
>>290182581You think you're not?
Good morning
>>290209290How would you respond if Marina Oswald told you that you reminded her of Lee?
ovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>290209478score
>>290131090Wait, that rocket...
>>290209738You know what, I was thinking the same thing.
>>290178116All the time we saw Finney lookin down on us as the reader since he talked to potential victims. Dominance. This is the first time I think we see his face in submission angle, lookin from bottom to up since he is talking to his superior. So it is not just money, its devotion and ideology, almost reverence. Interesting
>>290209580>You disappearing...is how you become a hero.Incredible line.
billy feels more inspired on the felix the cat creator situation than on mickey, chuck even kinda looks like otto messmer
>>290209580Deep, thanks OPTell me, are you really black?
>>290209580aww poor Lee
>>290131159>>290131181I like how this is framed like Kevin's trying to brainstorm his way out of a plot hole instead of predicting the future
>>290182648>>290182660What is this, a crossover episode?
>>290211021Are you a Disney plant trying to divert attention away from the truth? I'm on to you!!
>>290209277I like that she's using it to learn a language. Very relateable.
>>290209345Can you actually hear anything from that distance?
>>290209451Fat FUCK!
>>290209580Oswaldbros...
>>290182341oswald is moe
>>290182626godspeed, oswald
>>290209580Theres something cinematic about Urasawa's paneling, very nice
>>290182606>>290182626
>>290209277It's interesting seeing how Billy's comics are a unanimous net good for people. Even the fake one helps people in its own way.
Hey Anon, wanna become a hero for your board?

>>290135369something about how much this manga portrays empty chairs is so good.
>>290209580Thanks op.
>>290209580>his smile and optimism: goneI like this exploration of what it means to be a hero with Oswald. Is it the accolades that define a hero? Having your name etched in history? Or the act itself? If no one else acknowledges your action as heroic then did it even matter? Looking forward to more Oswald adventures.

>>290231377thx OP!
>>290231377Known what it is, its really fucking nothingburger.
>>290186535"The Bad Sleep Well" is how that saying is written for the title of one of Akira Kurosawa's classic films. It isn't just a Mangastream thing.
>>290230739Oswald our FUCKING hero!
>>290229319Japan still loves them I have to assume because that's a plot point in the current Precure season.
>>290230393Alexander just kinda died as far as we know. Like maybe he was poisoned or caught malaria or something but it probably beats exile or stabbing.
>>290226855He's saying "I have nothing!" in the first panel in the raws, right?
>>290231377By Friend?
>>290227284Telling a drunk he can drink as much as he wants for a year equals telling him to drink himself to death within 2 weeks.

>>290231443ive finished it. mind giving a small recap? is it about the bat being a 5th dimensional being? i cant recall how the earth ends, only 911
