As for todays game it'sConnect 4One Anon suggestet Chess and im down for it but i have to go after the storytime so chess is to long for today.Tomorrow is good gotta think about the rules first.
>>290147471Stylish. What's up OP.
>>290147570Dem eyelashes
:)
>>290147574All good hope with you people as well
>>290147628I'm a bit hard of hearing right now
>>290147440>>290147531Every now and then you compare Labyrinth arc art and later to before and you just forget how deepfried the older art looks.Still great though
>>290147628He's SO fucking cool
>>290147603>>290147628Oh he's crazy too.
>>290147628A chaotic period so this storytime is the highlight of my day.
>>290147647>This is awesome!!no NO NO
>>290147712Damn hope it gets better.Im happy people are enjoying the storytime it's fun reading the comments in the treads and reading it.Cant wait to read the chapters i haven't reached yet!
>>290147763Thanks, it warms the heart. It will get better eventually. Very excited to see how you feel about the rest of the story.
Do they say "Leader" or "Oyakata-sama"? I feel like even in engrish Leader sounds better
>>290147883I do get what some anons mean here, Leader-san doesn't look human No doubt that's on purpose to bait and switch you later, despite the implications
>>290147802>>290147821That's how you open a door..?
>>290147929 Usogui's reaction here is really telling, in hindsight. I wonder how far back Toshio actually planned the story out, because iirc even back here the most GALAXY BRAIN type of plot twist was already being teased
>>290147955HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHALaugh or else!
>>290147902Cant wait
>>290147929Baku pog face>>290147950Chapter 1 had the Russian roulette tease.
>>290147987 Yeah but I don't believe that was a full tease of Leader's relationship with Baku or his memory loss yet
>>290148002>>290147987These anons...are not laughing!
>>290148035>>290148012inverted order?
>>290148033haha don't be silly, I was just caught off guard.
>>290148035>>290148012Pages out of order?>>290147984He's dead brom>>290147998You got me, Oyakata-sama.
>>290148002Yeah plausible. This arc, or if not, definitely the next.
Yeah they're out of order...This first>>290148035Then this>>290148012Sorry gotta check the other ones now.
>>290148097Cold>>290148148Win-win :D
>>290148179Leader hiding behind him is cute
>>290148179> Ragebaiting Dork ruining his friend's fun because his friend is a fellow ragebaiting dork Kino
>>290148212>right now we don't even have our submachine gunKaji-chan was really ready to throw heat for Baku-san.
>>290148285Karl... they'll cancel you... so that's why he hates outrage mobs kek
>>290148406What did he mean by this?
>>290147628This old dude just loves to talk your ear off : ^)
>>290148385What a silly fella
>>290148352It's magical how ride or die Kaji is this early into knowing Baku. It's been something like less than a month I think.>>290148306How is he so fucking COOL bros
>>290148420No need to be tsundere, Yakou.
>>290148464Yeah, makes me wonder how bad he had it that he clings to Baku so much. A normal person would have walked away after the Abandoned building. Yet here he is. In fact, how little he is swayed when people tell him in repeated times that sticking with Usogui will get him killed.
>>290148420Ok Yakou.
>>290148464My son is so precious and wonderful. I truly love Marco.
>>290147821Wait... but? He was just fighting the other guy?
>>290147645hangman arc art > labyrinth arc art
>>290147838>>290147857>>290147883ENTEEEEEEER!!!
>>290148521destiny mentioned
>>290147968Kek, that was funny :)
>>290148554Face reveal.
>>290148033And I sense... there are lurkers who also aren't laughing.
>>290148614I'm inclined to agree solely because i dislike how Baku looks in that arc. But man, everything else about labyrinth is so so much better, to me at the very least
>>290148614Nahh that arc is an OPT goldmine granted this arc has an edge in scenic backgrounds.
>>290148179>who is he?So he really was so bored by the game he forgot, kek.
>>290148615He dodged the high with a full-on knees bent fighting game crouch.
>>290148656I imagine him saying Kyara with a ghostly inflection here.
>>290148342I'm seeing double! Four Yakous!
>>290148443pesci
>>290147802ENTERTHE FOOT
>>290148406What exactly is going through Baku-sans mind at this very moment?
>>290147929What?
>>290148588Believe it or not but that too is a setup for a payoff later
>>290148051Spooky
>>290148192That's just mean
>>290148614The characters I can agree but something just *happens* in the middle and suddenly it's like you can tell this guy was a former hair stylist
>>290147821>>290147838>>290147883EL HERMANO DE YAKOU
>>290148669no no i-i'm laughing haha
>>290148588I won't spoil much, but HE HAD IT BAAAAD >>290148594I love them both
>>290148306Man how far did he fling that knife
>>290148342Niyakou
>Knife weilder loses
>>290148948Weeping Willow
>>290148497Confident in Baku isn't she
>>290148964Truly unfathomable
>>290148554You've got something on your face
>>290148948What about throwing the knife like Kyara and Leo? Is this a simultanous buff to you and debuff to the opponent since you are ridding yourself of the knife and giving it to your enemy?
>>290148705...are you gonna eat that?
>>290148948RIP Karl's bodyguard squad.
>>290148948Nice shot
>>290149216THE STRONGEST UNFATHOMABLEKYARAAAAA
>>290149238Could Lolong Donaire have taken him?
>>290149191ouch
>>290149261Kyara is the one who kills, so Rolon would win under purgatory rules...
Gonna stop at 5 chapters today as this chapter is a good cliffhanger for new readers.Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or the Falsity Feaster will come for you!See you tomorrow for the second half of Volume 6!I will post the rules of the game in the next post

>>290149216He said the thing!
>>290149430OwThanks OP.
>>290149488I predict OP is a safe-type and he'll start in the middle.We can counter this by denying him and putting our first one in one of the corners, this gives us the advantage in sneaky angled attacks
>>290149488>playing a solved game
>>290148554RE-ENTER
>>290148694No, it looks like shit
>>290149572This is a free-placement version of Connect 4 no gravity on a image board so you dont have to start at the bottom.Or is this version also solved?

>>290149968You think the one-shot is canon?
>>290149810I think reading Kengan has actually made me drop a few iq points. I need some time to readjust because people's arms aren't turning into noodle whips while attacking or radiating hexagons through their clothing from taking damage.

>>290150020E2
>>290149697It doesn't look solved for this particular board size, but a general mnk-game is either a player one win or draw with no mistakes.

I play E4>>290150256>>290150278Close anon
>>290150299NEVA GIVE UP
>>290150307Ok "you" can play 2 because of the highest of dubs
>>290150330C4 A2Ldt's go
>this is the gamble that causes Kyara to flip back to Usogui How does he do it bros?
>>290149697>>290150048 Apparently it's solved and a player 1 win
>>290150435It's less that Baku flips back, it's that Kyara can now be Baku's ally since Kyara left Kakerou. I think Kyara secretly hoped that Baku would reappear one day. And then Kyara says what Baku hopes to hear.. I haven't lost yet. I never have and never will.
>>290150399>99Anon im no judge but to 99 hmmmI Play D5>>290150484Damnmaybe "I" shouldn't have played with my food
>>290150544F5
Truly a devious OP, using our poor eyesight against us.Let's hope the penalty isn't too great.While I remember the list of games played:On time game: anon lost as OP was on timePenalty paid was a single (You)We went a thread without a gambleEvens or odds: anon won as OP was evensPenalty was set beforehand to be a drawing, OP delivered.Second Dubs: anon had two chances to post with dubs in his seconds, easily won by using a clock.OP had to reveal his waifu, instead he revealed he is a manwhore :^)Jiggy Race: anon provided two links for online jigsaw puzzles with 120 pieces each, one for each of their waifus.Anon with a time of 13:10 vs 21:02OPs penalty was to decide the next gameHangman: OP thinks of a word and anons guess it either by suggesting letters or the wordOP beaten 3 - 0 with the words: RODEMU, SADAKUKI and KARIUMEI don't believe a penalty was set for this game.
>>290150544>>290150656Excuse me, when did you play E2?
>>290150656GGsBoth of us owe a penalty now OP.
OP IS A BIG LIAR!
>>290150683"That" was another "me"I play E5 now i win
>>290149135Thoughtful kick
>>290150300Kyara is very chuuni
>>290150725You missed drawing our C4 so I makee last roll. If dubs I play F4 and F2.
>>290149430Thanks OP
Aight GG OP. I threw the first play by not starting in the center.
>>290150785Closethat was actually not a mistake i wanted to cheat it away and see if it works. good eyes.I play E6o tomorrows game is gonna be Chess. If you got any idea on how to play it write it in this thread else im gonna go after Anons idea on "chess played through posts with moves noted in algebraic Notation" and make a board for it.As for the rules on how to Play im gonna think about something on how to make it more exciting and if you also have ideas on that write it here.See you people tomorrow.Now its time to join "myself" again
>>290150901Refs, throw him in the torture simulator.I know the rules of chess but not the strategy.
>>290148967It's funny that it seems like Leo is being sarcastic here but he's actually completely sincere and a nice guy
>>290150901Normal chess played with algebraic notation using the highest post number/dubs like we did here seems fine. We can save complex variants like duck chess for another day if we run out of ideas.
>>290150901I still need to know the penalty for this and the hangman games.
>>290147906>>290147929>>290147944Am I just too retarded to understand what's going on? Why did he tap his throat? What the hell is yakou2 doing? Why did kaji call it old school? Was he just doing a funny voice? Was it a reference to something? My brain hurts
>>290147906>>290147929>>290147944The hell is going on here?
>>290151151Googling gives one guy saying it might have been a popular line among Japanese kids in the past but idk if thay's true at all. Ig he taps his throat to get an effect, try it yourself.
>>290148342Huh, did he double?
>>290149989No reason why it wouldn't be other than the weird sexual nature of it. I assume the loose plot threads are still canon but not the actual circumstance and "results"
>>290149430Can't say I am a fan of his much fightfag stuff is in this manga.Aside from that though, Baku totally planned to get Marco on his side all along right? Seems like without someone like that a lot of his plans just wouldn't work.
>>290151422Maybe. I don't think it is canon cause it makes Kurara look kinda weak. I think she just heard of Usogui's feats before but never met him.
>>290151473Yes, Yakou even says as much in the Abandoned Building arc.
>>290150540> He was just a Tsundere all this time He really is a cat
>>290151473>>290151512>Totally planned to get Marco on his side all along We're going to get context later for how much bullshit Baku is pulling off don't worry Kaji was the real surprise pick up though, Usogui seems to value talent and loyalty quite a lot.
>>290151525Lol
>>290150540>>290151525Also I meant, Baku says what Kyara hopes to hear. but yeah
>>290149697Late reply, but I think it's an automatic player 1 win with perfect play, even moreso than vanilla connect four. The optimal solution would go something like:>P1 D4, P2 anywhere around the center>P1 2 diagonal spaces 135 degrees from P2's first move, e.g. P2 E4, then P1 B2 or B6, then P2 blocks, e.g. P1 B6, then P2 C5.>P1 forms a right triangle facing away from P2's starting position, e.g. P1 D4, P2 E4 first turn and P1 B6 second turn, then P1 D6 third turn. P2 intercepts either side of the triangle>P1 connects the triangle's last side, P2 anywhere, P1 wins next move no matter what
>>290151151He's doing a funny voice to pretend he's an alien
>>290147382kino cover
>>290151873>OP got destroyed so hard he had to pull out a sure win game and still cheat
>>290151873Yeah, any variant in a 6x5 board or larger is an automatic win
>>290149261>>290149285Jobber of christmas past trying to get him to hex himself
>>290148588Like Baku, he's a degenerate gambler at heart. Except unlike Baku, he's just a normal man doing outrageous things which makes him endearing when things don't go well for him.
>>290153201I love the extent to which Kaji is larping here
>>290147628I waited patiently for the entire dump to post this image
>>290147929>Aliens alreadyKUSOgui jumped the shark
>>290147968>>290147955Funnyroo
>>290147929>>290147944BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>290148342I like that this second Yakou has a bit of an attitude. You don't see classy old men doing delinquent staredowns often
>>290147628Just ripped your fucking ear off.
>>290147883Wait, he's actually el hermano de Yakou?
>>290147944Oh, he's doing some ventriloquism.
>>290147984This feels very Jojo-ish, like when a mystery nigga villain is being introduced.
>>290148002But isn't Baku only figure out that Hal have memory loss after the Tower arc? As right now, he only still think that Leader pretend to be Baku friend
>>290154192 It's highly implied but it's never confirmed. Yakou's origin story omake and the presence of the brother is kind of dubious canonicity and never outright confirmed by Yakou himself
>>290149191Damn.
>>290154431 Baku knew of his memory loss from the start, he watched the tape I had meant more so that it's foreshadowing for the situation
>>290149430AIIIEEEEEEEEEEE, YOU'RE HANGING ME OP!Thanks.
>>290149430>Falsity FeasterNext time will be Disingenuity Devourer though, since the original is Lie Eater I don't believe these should have the same letter
>>290154485Nah, i just check, it seem he only known the vague that Hal is Leader, but when everyone shit the bed after the tower, he finally figure out that hal have memory loss
Tbh, i just dont like this manga's fighting, as its really bore, especially during not-Greed Island. Also the entire Greed Island is fucking schizo as fuck
>>290154538 I think this more so means that he figured out Hal has increasing memory loss, the final arc has Usogui watch the original tape as well as understand more or less the story book made by the caretaker. Baku's plan to capitalize on the leap second doesn't make sense if he only JUST realized Hal is suffering from memory loss I think.
>>290154557>spoiler Yes, and that's what makes it beautiful. I agree though, the choreography is less refined than his later works but I think it's still pretty good. I feel more like the fighting is just complementary rather than a core aspect of the manga, to keep it high tension, but also there are some great moments in the island. Like the Chinese Terminator getting the shit scared out of him when he realizes Usogui WOULD gamble his life away on his bluff
>>290154570I mean, at least a month since the the tower and not-Greed Island happened, so its not recently, so he have more time to think about plan
>it's black box o'clockFUCK I hope we can get to the later games already so we don't have to discuss more cool shit with spoilers
>>290147628o shit
>>290154603Could be the case, yeah.
>>290154072It's a little more than a "bit of an attitude" but we won't really get to see it until much laterThey're basically completely different people
>>290148342they're having an aura off
Ughhh where are the gambling? Why characters are punching each other?
>>290155261Gambling is just mind punchingAnd punching is just physical gambling
>>290155261They are gambling on who can beat the other to death
>>290155261They are gambling if the missile will be launched, old men being punched is just the side show.
>>290151151>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ワレワレハウチュウジンダAliens and their iconic modulated voices were popular decades ago in sci-fi shows or tokusatsu and whatever. Mostly Ultraman. The tapping just makes your voice sound "alien-like" as >>290151236 mentioned.
>>290155261They gambled on which blind chicken can cross the goal first, if it helps you contextualize what's happening in the fights
>>290154431>>290154570Not what happened in the Tower Arc. Baku knows about Hal's memory loss, yes. In the Tower Arc, Baku simply understood that a memory loss just happened, and that Hal had likely ran away from Kakerou.
>>290155539Perfect, thanks anon.
>>290154538Holy fuck, they look like a duo of DYELs here, what happened to their muscles.
>>290154248yup thats bossu on the top right

>>290148051fucking Getter Beam eyes
>>290154557I think the paneling could be off sometimes, like I just can't fucking understand what the hell happened with some segments Sako drew. His paneling is even harder to understand than the gaming part.
>>290157053Baku is physically weak and Kaji is just normal, they’re not freaks of nature
>>290149430Thank you for posting.
>>290149815Sure, should I count minor ones like "Will OP be on time." or not?
