>>290280287Thanks for the dump
>>290280215In retrospective everyone will be making fun of this Forging Mini-Arc. Cause it's literally two dudes dancing around the forge with nothing interesting happening for what would be the whole ass volume.
hakazono is fucking dyinggood
>>290280333>Forging Mini-Arc.Does phoneposting make you write this? Chatgpgt? Curious.
Namek ahh pacing
>>290280262>>290280273>those eyesGreat stuff
>>290280333I mean, its just oppenheimer but instead of math its fucking around with a lump of magic uranium.And I like it, ironically. Cuz I was expecting Shiba fighting all bloody but no, lets continue with the magic uranium smelting
Next chapter is probably the end of the forging, there's not much to go through since the datenseki seems to be in a properly forging state at this point
>>290280355Hokazono is great with eyes.
>>290280391Seems like it, then kunishige is arrested but he has something to show to the bureau and they dint just hand out chiaki anymore
>>290280333I mean, I know you are just shitposting, but this arc is literally focused on kunishige as a person, which is important, almost everything in it is about who he is and his goals and traumas.You don't randomly steal uranium to the point you can die because the woman you love is being sold off.
>>290280434I mean.... It's bug ojisan rape island...
>>290280417>no goateeI get hokazono hadn't thought of a design for kunishige yet but feels bad.
>>290280333>Posted in both threadsHuh?
>>290280262>>290280273Incredible fucking page turner
I want main story and characters back.
>>290280450Maybe he spends a few days in prison.I dint think hokazono will just ignore it.
>>290280461The war hasn't even started and no single sword has been forged buckle up.
>>290280461>>290280474Oh shit, you forgot half of your post.
>>290280215>1st Try>Eyes only>48 hours straightSojo was a bum, he could not replicate this with super Tech 20+ Years later.
>>290280488He hyperfocused on kyonagi blood to keep it stable
>>290280488PUNYTHUG
>>290280496Tunnel vision is a hell of a Drug... still a Bum
>>290280504Amazing how the only character you badmouth Sojo in the whole series was FUCKING SAMURA
>>290280508Women and children torture tunnel vision, in particular.
Let's see if I can start translating already.
>>290280450Believe in the GOATee
>>290280522>I have to use NOT MERMAID blood, there is not other way!!!Says the mofo that Simps for Rokuhira .Did her ever consider Rokuhira DID NOT use Magic Blood to make the fucking swords in 1st place?
>>290280542He had no way to replicate it
>>290280417>kunishige is arrestedEveryone in there will fucking AWE at him making an Stable Datenseki Ingot that can then be Forged. He will Pass out. and they will let him Forge a Sword. The sword will be tested against the envoy sent to pick up Chiaki. After seeing it succeed, they other 5 Blades are forged.
>>290280564According to kasen's flashback he's getting arrested.Then he will go full chad and say>YES, I CAN REPLICATE IT>YES, I CAN MAKE ENCHANTED SWORDS>GIVE ME A YEARand everyone inside will get wetExcept izaruFUCK izaru
>>290280550its just CONTROLLED heat, thats all it took, but to an autism level. Sure he does not have SUPER EYES but that is where you do Trial and Error/ FUCKING TECH to supplement.
>nothing’s happening>nothing’s happening>nothing’s happening>it’s over
>>290280333Go back to reading your sissy manga,ichifag
>>290280589Power of love>science
>>290280287>today I will become worthy of youDamn, I love this couple.
>>290280739Kunishige and Chiaki are really winning me over
>>290280739When will hokazono give chihiro a girl so he can YEARN for her like his dad?
>>290280739Watch as those fucktards on twitter say that kunishige is bad.
>>290280751She probably is what kept him from hanging himself. so now its time to repay the favor and save her.
Any moonrunes speakers can do TL?
>>290280758Trauma Bonding on Samura's death. Do your thing
>>290280772Working on it, give me an hour at most, forging terms are NOT fun.
>>290280782SAMURA STOPPLEASE
>>290280262>>290280273DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES KUNISHIGE>>290280287>furnace blows upJokes aside, it's a cool chapter. That page turner would be an amazing needle drop moment and the last spread is glorious. As usual Subaru is carrying the smelting operation.Thanks for the dump anon.>>290280589Technically speaking, this whole smelting business is everything before the forging. He's gonna work with Subaru and do that sword forging with spiritual veins of his afterwards.
>>290280805the whole smelting is the important part, Getting an (probably) and Stable ingot to work with. If not, it will be impossible to forge Daten cause the hammer blows will make it nuke.
>>290280758Chihiro only YEARNS for the blade.
I can't wait for the 6v6.
>>290280262>>290280273These are two great pages.
Does anybody else can’t access the catalogue?
>>290280504>Blade breaks after saying thatKINGjo lasted longer than BUMura
>>290280758He doesn't need girls.
>>290280739You are very undemanding reader I guess. Hokazono is trying to make people care about chiaki x kunishige for 4 chapters in a row, as if editorial got feedback from the readers that they don't see why these two are in love, and it's still very unremarkable and basic.
>>290280956I get it you spent a week alone keeping up a general with no posters and are happy to finally have someone to talk to but calm down, this is like your 6th post itt.
>>290280758Kuniaki is literally Chiyuki with more sugar cause Chiaki is a snowflake pussy unlike Hiyuki. Chihiro will break at some point.
>>290280488I think you need the super eyes to micromanage the fluctuations in the datenseki BEFORE they affect the temperature. One step too late and you blow the fuck up.You basically get almost no leeway.
>>290281012I'm just sending excuses, punyjo.
>>290280762They hate everuthinv that's not strong women anyway
OKAY, DONE FINALLY WITH THE TL>>290280217Page 1Chapter 129 : Smelting 4Jouji’s thoughts(suddenly the fire power is…>(the reactions inside the forge hit their peak)>Jouji: w-will it be ok!?Subaru’s thoughts (no, it’s too strong)>Subaru: rokuhira!>kunishige: it will go back to normal soon! This is the biggest peakI changed the insertion method to rapid seeding in intervals of 30 secondsPage 2>Subaru: a firepower this strong, it’s a sign you can’t achieve in a normal tatara>Jouji: having come this far and you say that!!IRREGULAR SITUATIONRokuhira’s concentration didn’t waver>Subaru: the temperature!!>Jouji: !!>Subaru: a tatara is normally used in dry winters. If the temperature is high the forge is hard to heat and there will be issues with temperature regulation inside of it>Subaru: slight mistakes because of this only cause small waves in a normal tatara smelting>but with datenseki you can’t even allow the smallest flicker
The pacing of this arc is so fucking ass man wtf, the hype behind the series is actually taking some blows
>>290280227Page 3:Strong enough to burn its surroundings>WE WILL TAME THE GODS>Subaru: seems like you incurred in their wrath>Masumis: the temperature level is wrong even at this distance. If we want to get rid of it putting out the fire is not enough. Even getting close is suicide>Cute Masumi: at least… we need to raise a barrier around it, we need to minimize the damages!Page 4It can’t be! At this rate>Chiaki-sama, please come insideAGAINSHE’S GETTING FURTHER AWAYThe soga princess… yeah…>Shiba: that’s why it’ll be hard to meet her for now>It wasn’t meant to be Chiaki but stuff happened and suddenly…
>>290280240Page 5>Shiba: we were close for a long time and we stopped caring, but the blood of the soga family runs through her veins>kunishige: is that so>Shiba: but don’t give up, I can send her letters. And one day…Every now and thenI feel cornered/pushed away>Shiba: our exchanges got found out by the maids, you need to lay low for a while. Only until it all calms down>kunishige: no… >I will only cause her trouble… I…Page 6I am not worthy of Chiaki>Shiba: what’s happening!>Jouji: this is the limit! We need to get away from this!>Kunishige: irregularities are a given in a tatara. I told you, we can fix this>jouji: what is going on!>kunishige: due to the datenseki, the strength of the fire is irregular, just that. Looking at the pipes and the base of the fire? (sorry no fucking idea). It’s a light charge, if we put it off, it’ll go back to normal, surely….>jouji: light?>Subaru: it’s an instability that happens when there’s few sand iron in the forge>Subaru: it happens even in normal tataras. It can be fixed>which means
>>290281010Chihiro still considers her an enemy btw
>>290280251Page 7>Subaru: as long as we continue, we can make iron>jouji: SORRY, THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME!19:35 SUDDEN RAIN AT THE LOCATIONEven in you go on, in circumstances like these…>shiba: rokuhira… it’s over…>kunishige: Subaru-san>Subaru:let’s do itPage 8>Subaru: I’m already completely insane anyway>Shiba: wait, rokuhira! If you die… it’s all over!>kunishige: there’s only today>Kunishige: I ONLY HAVE TODAY!>Chiaki: we could make some fireworks this year too…>Let’s do them again, next year and the one after that… forever
>>290280262Page 9>Kunishige: is it ok? You are… the daughter of a good family, you know>Settling for m- HURTS!>Chiaki: how many times do I have to say it!>blood is irrelevant>Chiaki: kunishige is kunishigeKeep on forging, I didn’t have anything but this, my blood is worthlessBut everything, was burned in these eyes of mine and no one else’sPAGE 10DESPAIR
>>290280273PAGE 11AND HOPEPage 12I will challenge the tatara forge as a human>shiba: let’s go!>if it goes on like this!>Subaru: make it submitAs the human known as kunishige!Chiaki…
>>290280287PAGES 13-14TODAY I WILL BECOME WORTHY OF YOUMan is this chapter GOOD once you understand it.
>>290281293>>290281305>>290281320Genuinely kino stuff
>>290281293>PAGE 10>DESPAIR>>290281305>PAGE 11>AND HOPE>the pages themselvesSo good.
>>290281320>once you understand it.Definitely, Hokazono is doing some great stuff with Kunishige
>>290281269Does he?
>>290281320Thanks for the translation, anon. I enjoyed these chapters as a hopeless romantic Gosling bro.
>>290281361As of the last chapter of part 1.
>>290281320Thanks
>>290281371Kunichia hits so well.Chiaki isn't a super amazing character but kunishige's fight for her is just perfect.You can actually feel how much he loves her and how much she means for him.
>>290281371Kunishige has less self esteem than the average gosling poster
>>290281375This is him reminiscing about what others told him about the swords.
DESPAIRANDHOPE
>>290281399Except samura isn't there for some reason. It's just all his enemies... and hiyuki somehow!
>>290281395He’s just like me
>>290281390Her image reflected in his eyes was beautiful.>>290281395He's already won over his girl though.
>>290281320Thanks for TL anon, it is kino indeed.
>>290281421Where is the woman who gives your life meaning anon?
>>290281426>He's already won over his girl though.But she's a princess now, he's a lowly peasant.
>>290281390It's a shame the chapters are so short but I like he's taking his time even if the weekly pacing suffers a little, all at once it's very good.
Haha
Not trying to shitpost so hear me out. I unironically like when there's a non-combatant kind of character doing their thing while metaphorical parallels to combat and struggle are made. Like a doctor healing a patient, or Light eating a potato chip. This kind of reminded me of that guy from KNY forging a sword in the swordsmith village. That was a bad arc but the scene stuck with me.
>>290281320>pages 13-14HE'S DYIIIIIIIIIING
>>290281456It definitely could go faster and Hokazono could stop nerding out about forging.But the chapters, even with 4 more pages, would be the same, just more stretched out
>>290281508Maybe, but his dying throes are fantastic.
>>290281511>>290281511>could stop nerding out about forging. HOW DARE YOU
>>290281508I wish they said if the chapters will go back to normal soon.
Why are you guys ok with one of you shitting on Roku that means you agree...
>>290281468I genuinely like that the fight in this volume is forging the datenseki, but I don't think he's portraying it as well as he thinks, the narration and all is hype, but it's hard to make forging feel exciting.
>>290281440That makes him even more impressive for earning her favor, doesn't it?
>>290280262>>290280273>>290280287I am crying... Again...
>>290281561Doesn't count, she was a maid when she fell for him.
It feels wrong that he feels like he has to do all this to become worthy and "earn" her love, but that's how damaged his self-esteem is and how much he feels like he owes her.
>>290281573Failing means rape island.
>>290281558I think it's the type of scene that could be portrayed as suitably epic in an anime with the right direction, choreography, music, voice acting etc. Everything could probably be portrayed in a single episode too which helps with the pacing complaints.
>>290281573The whole problem is that she's a princess, if chiaki remained a simple maid, he wouldn't be THIS damaged.Also>everyone telling him he's a no name worthless blacksmith in volume oneyay
>>290281433Does my 1.50 an hour salary count?
>>290281573Given his past it makes sense he would have trouble parsing love, poor brother never experienced it.
