>>290348747Baku looking like Hag from SMT.
>>290349438Marco (Forma de Kyara)
>>290348747That's a zesty cover
>>290349111RULES OF NATURE!
>>290348767Cool dust cover.
>>290348968The angle...
>>290349719The angle... OF AN ANT!
>>290348996Ants leave pheromones where they walk, letting other ants follow their trail.
>>290349596POV: You're a japanese-style toilet
>>290349754I kneel.
It's weird how often ants come up in Japanese stuff. OR maybe it's not. I don't know.
>>290349954>Footfags
>>290349015I wondered where this little flashback takes place. There is some greenery right next to the MPD HQ so maybe there. It also seems common for police stations to have those car stops so it could be any police station too I guess.
>>290349894He really is such a child.
>>290349806Not sure I understand, isn't the day Baku lost in the 2nd round the Surpassing the Leader day? Is he just taking back his alibi and not the loss?
>>290349806Always love it when referees tell Baku to eat shit.
>>290349047Can't with these Lawfags man.
>>290350057He's taking back his alibi, not the loss. It's not a swap.
>>290348996>>290349047>>290349079Kaoru has a white shirt at first, then a black and white shirt, and finally he gets coated in darkness.
>>290349954This doesn't make any sense in English, lol.足元を見る (look at their feet) is an idiom means taking advantage of someone's disadvantageous situation where they can't or it's hard to refuse, like price gouging.
>>290350198Thank you based knower
>>290349111The archons (society) when I'm trying to escape the matrix (bee myself).
>>290350198We'll get through this together, we'll return to Duwang in time. I appreciate you explaining things liie this tho.
>>290349191That's a neat transition from the blood to the cigarette ash.

>>290349191>>290349222>they are the by-products of>the history and system of the nation's power>it's similar to the logic of a nation's powerI guess they're saying the Yukiide family are created by and for the system, with no judgments of good or evil, simply to keep the people in power there.
>>290350295in hindsight, Leader’s memory loss should’ve been obvious. Laying it on pretty thick
>>290349251Kurisu is a scummy guy but he knows it.
>>290349275I guess the irony is that the Yukiides are the most like ants out of anyone.
>>290349312>his iq supposedly exceeded 190Are we absolutely sure about this.

>>290349342According to Wikipedia, the TMPD is relatively new, only founded in the 1800s after the Tokugawa Shogunate was overthrown. It was part of the Home Ministry and enforced the Japanese Empire's authoritarianism.
>>290349368SMT Messians be like
>>290349394Baku looking like young Yuki here.
>>290349417So Yukiide didn't know his name was Madarame Baku then.
>>290349438Do not hurt Marco's friend.
>>290349473Finally putting it together.>>290349506Wonder if Yuki views himself as an ant.

>>290349660I have read this before but I forgot the details of the tricks involved, so it's fun to speculate on pages like this.
>>290350104>>290350057That's not what's happening at all actually. >>290349831In the next page he says "...and the rest of the dates... reveal the real culprit"He does not want to take back his alibi or whatever. He wants Yukiide to reveal the true culprits of all crimes.
>>290349047Is there anything more cucked than being a lawfag?
>>290349251>I'll maintain order by keeping chaotic elements in powerNever understood that mindset
>>290351276We're just using the alibi as a nomer for the crime he "gained" when he lost.
>>290351339WALLED
>>290349438You thought it was going to be Kyara but it was I, Marco!
>>290351028Probably
>>290350244I mean, it's a fine translation in itself but I appreciate >>290350198your TL note anon.

>>290351397i love this face
>>290349954Kek
>>290350017 bakus greatest trick is that he earnestly wants to do good. All of his opponents are so self interested that they just assume baku is the same way, its why the often fail to comprehend why he does things. He plays the part well to be fair
>>290351339Why did the story reveal Kadokura was an Earthbender so suddenly?
>>290349806>>290350057It's a bit confusing but the result is basically if Baku wins he gets the money, kaji gets exonerated and yuki has to keep his death sentence. If Baku loses he gets back his death sentence but loses everything else
>>290350198Thanks for that context, duwang usually explains stuff like this
>>290349954>take dem dogs out yukii
>>290351335As long as we're on the same page. Baku is saying "The crimes that happened on my date, Kaji's date, and all the dates... Reveal the culprit of all of them". It's split up in two pages so I didn't get it at first.Well Yuki couldn't give him that anyway so it doesn't really matter.
>>290351480Should have summoned those clerics :^)
>>290350237>>290350266What a dick
Chaos?
>>290350415I think most people figure there's something going on with his memory, but my assumption was that he could selectively choose to forget things, or he was just actually forgetful and didn't remember lots of details. I didn't expect straight up hardcore amnesia.
>>290350266lol
>>290350536Spooky megamind
>>290350741I don't know what you get out of this since he cheats
>>290350415Tru.
>>290350266It's funny how his childish curiosity gets the better of his self control and he just does shit occasionally just to see if he can do it like fucking aiming at someone's golf ball just to see how many times he can intercept it without failing.
>>290351339https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUJzj4DXHYE
>>290350295>>290350330It's true what he's saying, people are good at forgetting pain. It's convenient, tho also why people get back into bad relationships or habits, because they forget the pain.It can be good to forget painful events. On the other hand, you can also narcissistically forget the bad things you did instead of remembering and bettering yourself.Overall, I agree with what he's saying here.
>>290351198You fool, don't start monologing until after you win
>>290350330Oh and it's neat how he's telling Judge "idrc about the STL thing"

That's it for the first half of Volume 10!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or the Mendacity Muncher will come for you!Tomorrow i wont be here to post the second half so "Anon" will take over for "me".Also for todays it's called Editor. Thought it would be fun now that we have some good pages for it.Will post the rules in the next post
>>290349806-_-;This guy is the most useless, incompetent referee we've ever seen fuck this guy, he is unprofessional as heck
"I" have mine already finished.See "you" monday
>>290351178Cool.
>>290352322Why? A referee is not a player's personal butler, exactly as he said he has no obligation to do what Baku asked
>>290352196A cheater?>>290352218FUCK
>>290351293Wonder if that's true.
>>290349047Pretty sure stray ants like that are actually pretty important because they're essentially the "scouts" that find new food sources while the rest of the ants are distracted by the current one.
>>290351323Thought the same. I guess it's that the hierarchy must be preserved, those at the top must stay at the top.
>>290352297Thank you for posting OP See you soon
>>290351339Awesome.
>>290351087Maybe the typesetters accidentaly erased them when cleaning the original text from the panel
>>290351366Watch out you're turning into a funny European comic
>>290352475Don't try to find a real meaning in the autistic retard's philosophy...
>>290351480erm ackshually a maze has multiple ways of traversal while a labyrinth has only one.
>>290352548Obviously, but it just further hammers home the "lawfags are retarded" message
>>290351397>>290351452>>290351480The genuine disbelief.>>290351519I can feel this face but how do you put it into words.
>>290351606He's the type of guy that "played" Megami Tensei with online maps baka
>>290352297Thanks op. I'll put my trust in "me" to "scale the wall"

>>290352297>>290352674The „Gu Ritual“ is complete.Good luck „me“
>>290352297Thank you OP. This manga just keeps on giving. I always forget certain things, so every reread is delightful. Maybe Leader is right about forgetting things
Cant believe society turned Baku into the Joker...
>>290351952Ig he's talking about the justice system.
>>290352793>My father was... a big liar.
>>290352144sad kek
>>290352362He is retarded. What the heck does he think is going to happen now that Usogui's money isn't secured? Usogui is just going to roll over abd let his money get taken, the retarded ref is necessitating that Usogui interrupts the gamble environment to secure his position. I.e. he is a bad referee basically making 100% sure the gamble will get messed up.
>>290352218DON - wait I mean, DOO... All the good sfx were taken.
>>290352297Arigatou OP.>>290352787Ha maybe so.
>>290352929That is not his problem, he presided over the gamble and made sure the rules both players agreed on were followed."Making sure you can leave with your winnings" is the responsibility of the winner and this is stressed at multiple points in the manga
>>290352929>ref is necessitating that Usogui interrupts the gamble environment to secure his positionYes, anon, that is one of the core themes of the manga and why Baku needs Marco and Kyara.Now Baku could have arranged safety rules before the game, but he didn't as to play the sucker.
>>290352356Well, that's perfect.
>>290352906Unironically maybe Baku has some complex about people lying to him, so.
>>290353014Thats exactly the problem though. The gamble is still going on, and the money isn't even in play. If the gamble was over? Sure its Usogui's problem.But the Ref literally asked Usogui to make one more bet, on the BEHALF of Kekakakak. And cordially Usogui accepted. The greaser ref is obligated to secure Usogui's money and take it off the field so it is no longer in play in the next gamble. He is fucking up his own gamble
>>290353409The money is already no longer in play. Usogui will not be using it. It is no longer part of the gamble.
>>290353409>The greaser ref is obligated to secure Usogui's moneyNo, he's obligated to make sure the money is given to Usogui. Kadokura deemed it to have been collected. He says other referees may've seen fit to go further and help him deposit it, but correctly pointed out that he has no obligation to do so.
>>290352218>yuu big raiar
>>290352297Thanks OP
>>290352793>I thought my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it was a big liar
>>290349634Why does Yuukiide need to entice Baku even further with money? I don't get what's forcing him to do anything here, except that Yuki promised 2 more gambles
>>290352793
>>290354201Why would Baku gamble if all Yuukkiide was betting was something he lost on purpose and didn't want back? Yuukkiide is putting up 1 billion and the other stuff so that Baku will accept the risk of getting the surpassing the leader date back. It's set up a little oddly since Baku isn't really betting anything he HAS, he's accepting the RECEIVING of something if he loses, but it makes sense.
>>290352793>you wanna know how I got these plums?
>>290351318bottom panel looks like the Count from the beginning of Berserk
"I", for one, am glad there are many "me"s here getting out of Sandro's bullshit.
Thank god "that" daily is now over.Now I can be safe in here.
>>290354483I get it now! Also the anons after my post helped this anon understand. Thanks, "me".
>>290354793Very nice
>>290349954In the bible when they say looking at someone's feet it really means admiring someone's genitals
>>290350330I have terrible memory, its nice and annoying. I get to read usogui for the first time every 2 years :3
>>290351339He has to "scale" "the wall" if he wants to reach new "heights".
>>290350608Holy shit I think I just hate this ref for some unknown reason.
>>290355454 maybe you will enjoy his upcoming suffering
>>290355454He is based and will be even more based after the brain trauma
If I had a nickel for every time Baku's gambling opponent was a little kid in a grown man's body who was led by his guardian to become a murderer, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
>>290348968If I knew there were going to be this many shots of this specific angle, I would have gone back and made a collage. I might still go back later.
>>290355855Marco was hardly his gambling opponent, that would have been his dad
>>290351397
>>290355454get off the computer Nanpou you slacker
>>290355871You can do it as an edit for the gamble, gambatte anon.
>>290348747Thank you OP, I needed this. I lost my other "me" in the storytime of Omega.
AIEEEEE STOP REPLYING TO ME WITH BLACK BOXEEEEES
>>290350949Yep, he got bamboozled big time
>>290349985It was a good check trick, but sadly not good enough
>>290350536I fucking hate how this is the only major character moment for Touya, but it's just another thing that can be included in Usogui 2, like the reunion of the Heihaizi brothers
I'm curious if any new readers guessed the trick with the paper.
>>290352297Thanks OP, can't wait for Minotaur of the Labyrinth
>>290359139I didn't
>>290359009you forgot he shitting his brick when Leader gotten amnesia?
>>290359139I figured there was going to be something along those lines (heh) but I wasn't sure about the exact method that he was going to use.
"I" am late to the party and there's no after party thread, guess I'll just post it here since this storytime is keng/a/n coded.>>290349428Green anon here and I can't believe I survived the gu ritual. Omega is such a dog shit after chapter 50.And back to usogui>>290352297Thanks OP
>>290359757You are a big broccoli
>>290359652Oh yeah, that was pretty good too! I mostly remember it for Hachina and Oofuna. Can't wait to elaborate on their relationship and how they serve as foils & callbacks to Baku & Kaji
>>290350877The Order-kikes FEAR the Chaos Samurai
>>290351339He kind of looks like Vegeta here
It can feel slow for these simpler arcs but as someone who got hard filtered by the tower I think half a volume per day will turn out to be a perfect pace
>>290351397We will never escape the "grip" of the [Omega]>>290359757Omega starts off so strong and then it just loops around into itself
>>290352123wait, i don't get it, why would marking the back of the baku's sheet transfer to yuki's sheet. Aren't only the front sides of the sheets in contact when the holder is closed?
>>290360736The gist is that it changes the properties of the paperDon't worry too much about it
>>290360736The oil soaks through the whole sheet and passes through to the other side, while the ink stays behind
>>290360736 The trick is explained to be dependent on the absorbent properties of the paper and the oil ink in the pen, so basically the oil seeps into the paper and makes a wall
>>290350045
>>290350045>>290362380Baku looks a lot like the Enigmatic Gale here.
>>290362380I just realised how nice the eyebrows are
>>290349894uh oh, melty.
>>290352297thanks op.
the game
>>290349954passerby anon here. this manga looks wacky as hell. what is it about?

>>290366858
>>290363052ONOREEEEEE
>>290350359>>290350377So is the implication here that Yuuki's dad was a hypocrite who didn't fully buy into his idealogy and ended up getting turned in by the turbo-lawfag he raised?
>>290352356my contribution
>>290367384This is only one fucking arc, its not even that repeat
>>290352475That's interesting.
>>290366858Hybrid battle manga about high stakes gambles, most of which are overseen by a giant criminal organisation that enforces the rules of the gamble and collects whatever was bet & gives it to the winner
>>290367636It will explain in the next volume
>>290367904>giant criminal organisation that enforces the rules of the gambleI'm still surprise Kakerou successful taking over Police
>>290368496Kakerou did have it's roots in the country since around the year 400 while the police was only created in the 1800s, a baby in comparison.
>>290367668The marco 10 chapter fight is pretty accurate
The fights get better in usogui once you realise they're all gambling-related
>>290351510im here to kill chaos.
>>290369656In a gamble?
>>290369673with my fists
>>290351366Why you trying not to laugh Baku, that's disrespectful as shit.
>>290363052>SMTfags before>now puppetfagsI know I'm amongst people with good taste in this storytime.
>>290350428Shook.
>>290359139It's actually way simpler than I expected. I didn't think of it, but I can see how a smart person could figure it out pretty quickly.
>>290351339When you come to it.And you can't go through it.And you can't knock it down.You know that you've found.The wall, the wall, the wall.No man on earth can make it fall.
>>290352218U BIG LIE>>290352297Thanks OP.
>>290354793KEK
>>290368963The fight choreography can get confusing though the actual panels look sick. There’s always a cool factor to them and bonus if there’s genuine emotional and narrative weight. the Kyara, Caracal, and hermano Yakou threeway, Caracal vs Marco, the police car battle, and Tatsuki vs Yakou are all standouts
>>290354793>Anon nameboxPerfect.
>>290359139At first I thought Baku saying something about the printer is hinting that, but quickly discarded it because my instinct is telling me that's a red herring. Then I thought he used one of these bad boys somehow, not close enough. Didn't even know there's a trick using oil based ink.
>>290366858kaiji meets jojo
5 hours to go!
>>290366858Madarame Baku is a gambler, aiming to take over the gambling organization Kakerou.He is currently in a game, standing to gain 1 billion yen and names of corrupt police officials if he wins.
>Gambling manga protagonist is called Kaiji>Other gambling manga has a protagonist called Kaji
>>290375791It's a fun allusion, even some of their character traits are the same Of course, they're expounded upon in Kajis case to the point where he is distinctly different from Kaiji, which is pretty fucking cool if you ask me
Less than 3!
>>290367599>>290371217We've got an eclectic group alright
>>290368622To be fair, Marco only has two and a half 10 chapter fights
Bump
>>290381332So beautiful.
Just remembered gambleanon is taking a break today, see you lads either monday or when anon makes a new storytime
>>290381575I am covering for OP today. The dump is happening.
>>290381608Right here? In front of everyone?
>>290382065Shame is not for winners.
Hello anons, just doing a little test of 4chanX's dump list feature, in preparation for today's storytime. Please don't mind me.
Alright, I think I got the hang of it. We'll start the storytime in ~1 hour from now.
>>290382835
>>290382835>>290383233It kind of looks like Baku has six toes here.

Let's finish Volume 10 >>290385092>>290385092>>290385092
>>290350576IQ is made up bullshit anyways. powerleveling intelligence is such a goofy concept
>>290385522IQ is real and measurable, but it's not the end all be all of intelligence
>>290386373It's only real as far as the things that are being tested are concerned. It represents only a specific set of skills, some of which can also just be practiced and improved upon, so I don't take the concept of IQ very seriously
>>290386513Well yeah that's kinda what I mean, it's mainly measuring pattern recognition, but pattern recognition can be very useful in many aspects of life
