Volume 12 2/2 and first 3 chapters of Volume 13>>290489416Volume 13 1,5/2>>290513421Volume 13 2/2>>290538959
>>290571550What a bunch of jobbers...
Holy Hairline
>>290571662God... Weak?
>>290571662Marco the deceased...
>>290571550Man he really likes those down/upwards povs doesnt heAt least he got much better at the neck-ear thing
>>290571710It's fun to start reading around here, nice to see the art really starts improving, especially with the upcoming next 2 arcs.
>>290571780Never got this partHis mom didnt want him to study? And wanted him to beef up to become a top martial artist or something?
>>290571847Minowa must be one hungry fella, hopefully he brought a cookie or something :)
>>290571907>tonkClunk?
>>290571427Never saw this cover before.
>>290571960>>290571984Pay attention SandroNow this is how you do bait and switch
>>290572001Its a double bait and switch, you think the tragic backstory is Amako at first, and that the dead body being recovered is Marco
>>290572000NOW YOU FUCKED UP
>>290572028This nigga needs a Snickers
>>290572000>>290572028Wait I never noticed this His teeth are here in the past but missing when meeting Baku. I thought that Marco knocked his teeth out. Did Minowa bite and eat apart Amako so much and so hard he ripped his teeth apart?
>>290571780Wonder if this is why Minowa has such an appetite.>>290571829Yes, I read it as something like that. To constantly eat and becone strong.
>>290571881I guess it's "kuitai" and "itai"?
>>290572128>>290572099My HEROThe most NEUTRAL referee
>>290571829I think she wanted him to study, and withheld food when he didn't. The "you shouldn't do this anymore" is not referring to studying, it's something else, not sure
>>290571930>>290571960I don't think we ever see Baku with THIS expression again. So much pressure.
>>290571829She wanted him to bulk by "consuming nutrients". But she forgot that "nutrients" has to be "digested".
>>290572156Marco forme de sexo
>>290571780Architect mother
>>290572163The YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL spread on Air Poker
>>290572182Marco the ABSENT
>>290571907Do we ever actually see what he spit out?
>>290572156MARCO PLATINUM!
>>290572158That makes much more sense
>>290572028ugh
>>290572028hungo boy
>>290572207I think its a piece of flesh
>>290572028https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1oAiH79iyo
>>290572266It made a tonk sound when it hit the floor and rolled away though
>>290572182Guys this might be a stretch but I don't think Minowa is feeling well
>>290572294Maybe an eyeball
>>290572158Nope, that's the fakeout. Look>>290571497>"this kind of thing is a hindrance">smack>>290571690>books falling>>290571780>lots of food served
>>290571930Big difference between their two meetings
>>290572357>those dilated pupilsMan just snorted a kilo of cocaine
>>290572316Maybe the shorter days are starting to get to him.
>>290572353So did Minowa kill his mother? Is that what you mean?
>>290572357Evil thoughts.
>>290572443ENTER OUR HERO
>>290572443My FUARKING hero
>>290572399>When the limited edition kariume hits
>>290571662God? WEAKER than Minowa
>>290572408No he's talking about his mother constantly feeding him because he's got insane physiology (also why she says "if it's you you can do this or something along those lines"). She bought him some books or pencils because he was good and then threw them on the ground in anger when he asked to not have to gorge on food anymore.
>>290572407Look out Baku there's a minotaur behind you!
>>290572408What I said has nothing to do with that, at all.The mother flashback is made to make you think that it's Amako and he was forced to study, but it's actually Minowa and he was forced to eat.
>>290572443INSANE trust on Kadokura to withstand that
>>290572408No, he doesn't need that kind of things (books, studying).
>>290572495Kadokura seems to have pretty insane specs himself
>>290572507This really should have clued him in, since there's literally no reason for Baku to make this decision other than style points.
>>290572482Don't worry ref, him being a "superman" de facto makes him a "nutrient" worth consuming.
>>290572531FUUUARRKKKKKKKK
>>290572531Purge is such a great term for them
>>290572531KADOKURA THE JANNY
>>290572531KadokAURA
>>290572567And yet we dont see a single actual purge in the entire manga
>>290572531So Minowa's initial plan, before getting his shit kicked in by Marco, was to kill Marco and then, when he encounters Baku, kill him too without regard for M time, assuming he'd just be disqualified and Amako would auto win. Except this shows that Kadokura will just fucking merc the guy if he breaks the rules. Guess he didn't know that.
>>290572531>i'm just following the rules i'm not helping the guy i like ok?
>>290572531Please, Minowa, kill this retard.
>>290572590kino
>>290572590Shit, here we go again...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5171TqKUKbU
>>290572590HOLY FUCKING KINOOOOOOOOOO
>>290572590One of my favorite spreads out of context
>>290572590Minowa looking a bit different here, artstyle change?
Could Baku have fixed Minowa with the power of friendship and keikaku?
>>290572590Is this the start of the "Sako Toshio farming OPT spreads" arc?
>>290572582I mean Kadokura purges Minowa here
>>290572585No, he can't control his body, which is why he ate Amako. He attacked Baku before even hearing who won the M time because he can't control his impulses and is hungry and wants to eat. He knows the referee's will take him out and is very aware Kakerou will kill him if they break the rules of the game.
>>290572625Nah I think Minowa was too far gone on the "evil" side
>>290572634Indeed.
>>290572585Kadokura most likely wouldnt have been present
>>290572643Yeah but I was talking about before he completely lost his shit, killing Baku by violating the rules was still his plan then.
>>290572643He very clearly wanted to kill Amako since he went out of his way to use all his MP
>>290572678dang
>>290572675He'd still be killed by Kakerou though, they wouldn't just let him walk out because the game is over, unless the entire funeral division was scheduled to show up at that exact moment Baku loses, but they don't have phones and ways to communicate, so there's no way that could have happened. I think he just hoped that Amako would be smart enough to reach the end, Baku would fuck up, and he would maybe have a chance to kill him either during the gamble or immediately after winning.
>>290572590>we went from monkey Baku to this KINO
>>290572732Mindbreak START
>>290571960NOW CUM SAMURAIPUT ON A GOOD SHOW
STOP THE HEXING BAKU! STOP IT!
>>290572762I bet Baku was shitting his pants when Amako pointed out the shirt
>>290572794ouchie
>>290572794ough
>>290572794ohh that's brain
>>290572794I love/hate how Sako draws the injuries "real".
>>290572833NOT THE POMPADOUR
>>290572833uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>290572833Oh that'sThat's not very good, isn't it
>>290572833Fucking hell.
>>290572794Oh that's apples, mate...
>>290572833bwhahahahaha YESSSYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSYESSSSSSSS
>>290572833OH THAT'S BRAIN
>>290572833fucking scalped
>>290572833Jesus Christ superman syndrome is not a fucking joke
>>290572833Crazy Diamond activated?!
>>290572727I mean I'll post it later when the dump is done but he explicitly stated that his plan was to break the rulesActually I don't even need to post it, I can link it >>290490166
>>290572803Oh yeah you're right lol
>>290572883KENG/A/N TOLD ME THAT "SUPERMAN SYNDROME" IS A JOBBER TRAIT AND THEY'RE JUST "HIGHER QUALITY NUTRIENTS"!
>>290572931Splat
>>290572833t-tis but a flesh wound...
>Kadokura spends most of the gamble neutrally helping Baku>if it wasn't for his change of heart, Baku probably wouldn't have been able to get Amako to accept the gamble>"oh yeah btw i cheated for all of your cool gamble btw not sorry :') enjoy fucking dying for me lmao"Why is Baku like this
>>290572833Kadokura (Forma de lobotomía)
>>290572794>>290572833Reminder that OUR SWEEPER, Yakou, would've purged this trash without getting hit once
>>290572865Jokes on you Minowa that piece of brain was just weighing him down!
>>290572931NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>290572939My god, can you retards shut the fuck up alreadyYou are not funny
Baku-san isn't a bad person...
>>290572957Yakou B would fight him for 5 chapters and then run away while saying "heh, next time you won't be so lucky"
>>290572833Guys never start inner monologuing while fighting a crazy superman assassin.
but he isn't a good person either
>>290572989>>290573013This just doesn't sit right with me. Kadokura really didn't deserve any of this.
>>290573024I mean Baku didn't make him get punched in the head.
>>290573024He was too smug for this world
>>290572939"You've got it all wrong!"
>>290573013So brutal.
>>290572943Gambling and cheating go hand in handPlus his opponents always cheat tooBaku was actually pretty smart using the "neutral" Kadokura for his goalsI recall later on he tries to do the same with Midara but Midara doesnt fall for his bullshit
>>290573024He should be thankful Minowa started this shit hungry and had to fight Baku's own Gary Stu, he would have been fodderized by Minowa in any other scenario
>>290573050Well.As I recall, Midara does fight to protect Baku's gamble so I thnk he did fall for Baku's bs in thhe end.
>>290572931Hard to believe, huh? Minowa had superman syndrome and everything
>>290573013this page is kinda funny
>>290573041hes dead?!
>>290573106You could say he was too strong to win
>>290572865>>290572899>>290572931>does this right after his eye and skull got smashedKadokura's a beast
>>290573102Its more like a reference so that Judge said earlier with Yukiis game. The referee in control is the superior in every sense. If Midara failed to stop the sabotage then he wasnt fit for being a Referee
>>290573013No kariume, no gloating, just nothing. Chills.
>>290573106Yet he couldn't "scale that wall"
>>290573135Thinking that all those guys could be Kadokura lifelong mates really makes this a more rough page
>>290573184True.
>>290573153Maybe so. Regardless, Midara was made to protect Baku's plan.
>>290573234A WINNER IS YOU!
>>290573234....
>>290573234Fuck you Baku
>>290573234Raise a triumphant cry, you mighty Minotaur!
>>290573270EXIT OUR HERO
>>290573234Baku is never happy when he has to sacrifice something for his gain
>>290573106I hate you so much, that garbage really fried my brain
>>290573284You could see that line in Air Poker as a cope, yeah.
>>290573309I can almost only speak with "sandroisms" and laugh at key words. Such is the price to leave the "greenness".
!
>>290573364Goodbye...Marco...
>>290573364Narrator Kun is a big liar isnt he
>>290573364Our golden boy...
>>290573200What would they have done if Kadokura just died here before being able to say this? Call in another ref?
>>290573398Did Kadokura regenerated his pompadour or it's just me?
>>290573398I thought that Nanpou would replace Kadokura when I first read this
>>290573364I can't believe Marco is fucking dead
>>290573446Nigga that Nanpou
>>290573454I mean he does become a ref
>>290573458ENTER.............................
>>290573458>I return to you now as Marco the White
>>290573465Fuck, I'm too intellectually impeded to follow this manga...
>>290573458UNSCATED UNDEFEATED
>>290573490Tch.,..what a shitty opponent...
>>290573458Let’s be honest, no one ever thought there was a chance of him dying here
>>290573490Look at that goofy smile
>>290573480no....RETURN!
>>290573501Anon plz look in the mirror to make sure you don't have a chunk of brain missing
>>290573458MY GOLDEN BOY IS BACK ON TRACKS BABY!
>>290573524RETURN OF THE MARC
>>290573509First time reading sureSpecially after Kadokura's goon denies with his headSuch a shitty bait tho
>>290573509I mean I kinda did. Like 10% chance but still.
>>290573522>YESTERDAY'S DEATH 3 PPLNever noticed that before.
>>290573458MARCO YUMEJOS ARE SO FVARKING BACK!
>>290573554OUR FUARKING HEROES
>>290571907>>290571930I don't get it, did Minowa gnaw Amako alive?
>>290573522It's been a long gamble
>>290573554DON>>290573580Yes.
>>290573584Fuck I forgot about thisplease dont cry please dont cry
>>290573526I found that I only have a monkey slamming cymbals against each other in my skull, is that okay?
>>290573554Kaji bros…..we’re looking like a third wheel here. When is it our time to shine?
>>290573522Oh yeah, Kaoru was here too lmao
>>290573476Yeah, compared to refs like Midara and Kadokura he doesn't get much focus
>>290573522RATE THE LABYRINTH ARC
>>290573622There is something to rape?
>>290573613Oh yeah that's fine, he probably knows what he's doing
>>290573593>Yes.Damn.
>>290573642Oh, goodie! I'm good!
>>290573650Whoops, forgot the dump was still going, my bad.I usually joing after OP ended dumping.
>>2905736366, pretty good arc. I have to reserve higher scores for what's to come.
>>290573644Wonder if Yukiide would have reached Baku levels of gambling if he actually lived through most of his life instead of sleeping through it.
>>2905736367
>>290572931EXIT ONE MAN
>>290573699>CUMWhat did the bird mean by this?
>>290573723man
>>290573723>those dark stains around the buttonman...
>>290573723Holy fuck look at the finger smudges on the button. fuck me
>>2905736367 was pretty great but im not finished with the manga so i dont know how it will be after the next arc.
>>290573723>finger marks all over near the buttonfuck...
>>2905736367/10 and it gets better from here
>>290573723Speedread before and missed the finger stains...
>>2905736367, too much mindfucks for my smooth brain and I don't always understand how the tides turn sometimes. But the story is cool and the stakes are real, so I get hooked.
>>290573742>>290573747>>290573756Yo I never noticed that. Nice catch.
>>290573749Big spoilers dont even pass by thisI like to think that this is the same hospital Leader is at at the end. And the reason his life is not collected is because Baku "Forgot it"
>>290573773ENTERDSL nurse!
>>290573806I'm afraid it has been 9 years
>>290573773I... Don't trust this nurse for sone reason, I don't know the hell of what will happens next but there is something... Unsettling.
>>290573805From his hair and beard, and even facial features, I think this is a big timeskip
>>290573773>>290573806Wonder how far in the future this flashforward is.
>>290573742>>290573747>>290573756I dont get it
>>290573883It should have been me
>>2905738973 days (probably)
>>290573903Yuukide was a loner all his lifeThe little toy bird was the only thing that comforted him so he presses it many times
>>290573903He is so fucking depressed he keeps pressing the button contantly, cmon anon. If its a parrot I imagine is one of those toys that repeat whats is said back to it. I like to imagine its his dad's voice saying welcome home
>>290573917Aw
>>290573917THAT'SMY FRIENDS
>>290573917>>290573956cute
>>290573883Damn lady
Can we skip the sad parts? It's makes me very emotional.
>>290573956Marco draws so good.
>>290573917Wonder if Marco drew that
>>290573956>there is a note in the box>"btw you owe me 100 million yen for the hospital bills these last few years."
>>290573984the angle....
>>290574002lol>>290574014He finally figured it out.
>>290573983Maybe some coffee will calm you down
>>290573924>>290573932Oh it‘s a button i thought it was a screw…Ok makes sense
>>290573956Baku's face there....Nyoro~n
>>290574056KYARA THE MUSCULAR!
>>290574056Please stop bullying our kind grandpa who only brews delicious coffee
>>290574056Kek what a whiplash
>>290573983Anon... Has a soul!
>>290574096lol
>>290574096Yakou's ultimate plan has been revealed!
>>290574056That line at the end has me in stitches please tell me thats verbatim in the raws
>>290574050Oh, I was about to make me a coffee then I saw the next pages! You planned this!
>>290573458>>290573554When I first read Usogui I was gonna drop it at the Marco death, but I thought I should finish the arc. Lord, did I cry like a bitch at this. I love my son so much. I want to protect him so much.>>290573956People say Usogui only gets good in the later half but Sako was always really good at selling smaller scale, shorter character moments. Genisakuri has done this pretty good with the fighters as they come
>>290573917Oh this is yukide i couldn't recognize him
Not now but tomorrow. As this is a great point to stop so all the focus is on the murderer.That's it for the first half of Volume 14!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or the Hokum Hog will come for you!See you tomorrow for the second half of Volume 14!
>>290574134lol same. I generally don't like when they use fuck in translations cause they don't really swear like that in Japan but that line so funny.
>>290574166*bites down on kariume*
>>290574189Thanks op, knew you were gonna stop here.
>>290574096>single sweat drop on Kyara in bottom left panelEven the one who kills fears the reaper's smile!
>>290574096lmao
>>290574056Our Christian hero saving the world from bad coffee.
Enjoy the next arc anons, it took years before we got to see it because of a translation hiatus. Make sure that while reading the next few threads you are eating fried chicken
Next gamble is maybe top 4 in the entire mangaDon't miss it
>>290574189ENTER the most forgettable arcAt least for me. I dont like this one at all.
>>290574251>>290574256The duality of a gambler
>>290574256I'm the opposite, I really like it. Also OP said he stopped during this arc right? So he's blind afterwards, unless he read ahead.
>>290574189Bull's uterus?
>>290573522I can't believe this was just the second gamble
>>290574172Yes.>>290574189Thanks anon. Oh the next arc... I'll say, it's super well done, and hard for me to read because of it. So dark and damn intense.
>>290574256I think it's fucking sick.
>>290574256Kaji’s gambles are more entertaining to me because he’s not a 2000 IQ genius that plans everything like Baku. That makes his breakthroughs all the more satisfying because he’s the underdog. They feel more human and personal
>>290573509The first time I read Usogui I did. But also back then the abandoned building arc wasn't translated (that I could find), so I had no clue Marco was important.
>>290574256Nah, it’s the probably one of the most cathartic given the despicable antagonist.
>>290574189ARREST THIS MURDERER
>>290574189Somehow the next villain is a bigger piece of shit than Amako
>>290574303Yes?
I don't think the Gamblers here are ready for the next arc... I might even get a ref in check for some... Wild gamblers.
>>290571582Kid Marvelman ass face
>>290574404KEKAROO>>290574410HUH?!
The only thing that redeems the next arc is Ranko
And here is the last game for labyrinth.It has 19 walls and as a little challenge.There is a minoatur who will come near you the more mistakes you make.He will reach you in 20 steps.Every step will be calculated with your last post number.Good luck
for me it was discovering how much Brazen Bull snuff hentai there was :3
>>290574445Marco's dream while his semen was being extracted.
>>290574467Agreed
>>290574289Yeah i started the storytime after the fat guy got burned so im completely blind after this arc.
>>290574488LET'S GO! I WILL WIN THIS FOR YOU ALL MY FRIENDS!
>>290574488D5
>>290574493I could have lived without knowing this.
>>290574579Yes
>>290574056>>290574134>>290574205Garbage scan quality, but good enough.Can someone tell us?
>>290574558We are counting on you, Jack!
>>290574617It says nervous breakdown/gone neurotic based on my MTL scanner from my phone
>>290574616C5!
>>290574617It's not specifically aneurysm but ノイローゼ (nervous breakdown and such), aside of that it's correct
>>290574617>>290574704ohh true
I failed you, friends... I got an 8...
>>290574718No!>8Do you hear him Jack... the minoatur?Will your Goudou be enough to defeat him
>>290574749I still like the translation. Saying someone has gone retarded from drinking your coffee because of a blood vessel popping is great
>>290574814D4!
>>290574799We trusted you, Jack... You let us down!
>>290574922No!>2The Minotaur is already halfway there.
>>290574970A-AAIIEEEE....H-HURRY UP AND SOLVE IT....!!
>>290574970I‘ll take two steps.D6 to C6.If it‘s wrong add my number to each other
>>290574947I WILL REDEEM MYSELF!>>290574970D6!
>>290574970>halfway there and we barely startedWe're fucked.
>>290575040>>290575042Correct
>>290575060B6
>>290575135Yes!
>>290575156B5!
>>290571550it seems that, despite my initial assumptions, the battle between marco and minowa actually came down to a razor thin margin
>>290574256I was mostly just grossed out from thinking about the smell of burning flesh.
>>290575169Anon... You jobbed.>9The minotaur is right behind you jack and has its own Goudou
>>290571639Usogui is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness
>>290575231Fuck.I cant do it anons…But A6
>>290575274Yes and as a little help i give you the next one for free

>>290572883Except for Waka
>>290575378Yes!
>>290572931Niko Style, MINOTAUR'S BANE
>>290575401B4, maybe if we get the timing right, we can SHYEAAA our way to victory.
>>290575401B4!
Anon-sama....there's a wall.
Our timing... Is wrong, "me's"...
>>290575463Yes!>>290575485You are a Liar!
>>290573636I liked it but also I feel like splitting the players up hurts the story, also ifeel thay gambles should make the games very intuitive and easy to understand, so that the player can better understand the mind games. I feel that the maze is a little too complicated, in that you are just trying to keep up and are limited therefore in speculating on the meta game elements
>>290571907damn he turned that nigga into nutrients for real
>>290575506B3, I'm guessing there's another wall in the C column.
>>290575571Yes!
>>290575595A3!
>>290575595B2, followed by C2. If I'm wrong, may the minotaur devour me for my "nutrients".
>>290572028rest in piss
>>290575639>9Jack...
>>290575639Yes!>>290575642Im sorry "me" but "he" has the higher number
The next one is also for "free"
>>290572156minowa the mindbroken
>>290575701So what's "my" plan? Go in from the left or from the bottom? A2 regardless.
>>290571960>MINOtaur>MINOwasasuga, sako...
WIN THAT LABYRINTH FOR US YOU MIGHTY ANONS!
>>290575735A1 B1 C1 C2 reacharound straight to the finish line.
>>290575735B1!
>>290575825A1!*
>>290572732>>290572762>>290572943Baku at least genuinely read Minowa in their first duel, because Baku only got the ability to listen to the wiretap after getting the phone back.
>>290572322>if i were usogui, i would probably shit my pants right nowkadokura the AFRAID
>>290575735B2
So the guy that said Sadakuni and the ref from the previous arc could take Minowa, would he still think the same? After all, it took both the combined damage inflicted by Marco and Kadokura to take him down.
>>290575735B2 reroll
>>2905736366.7/10C+I didn't find any of it to be particularly logically deducible, given that it's based on a specific board game I have never played or heard ofThe colour stuff is much too specific for the level at which it was hinted
I had to brush my teeth and get ready to sleep>>290575806>>290575846These one one because the highest numberYou were close "me" but looks like you became nutrients for the minotaur.This is a Victory for "me"
>>290575735B2 threeroll
>>290572531TIME TO SWEEP
This is how it looked. You came close "me" yet you were still to "green".See you tomorrow!
>>290574256>ENTER the most forgettable arcThe complete opposite for me, it was the arc that actually cemented Kaji as part of the squad.
>>290575976I actually think Mekama was probably pretty strong, but Minowa was an actual monster. I don't think Mekama could have won.
>>290576005I'M A JOBBER!!! I WON'T GET THE RANKO PEE AT THE END OF THE LABYRINTH! I'M JUST A NUTRIENT!
>>290572590he's so cool
>>290576005Could Rolon Donaire win that labyrinth?
>>290574256unironically bull > labyrinth
>>290576005Apart from that rough start, that went better than expected. We narrowly dodged the walls in the A4, C3, and B2 squares that would have otherwise ended a run.
>>290576041Tch...what a shit labyrinth...
>>290576041I think my "Maze" is "Stronger" then this, and I would wager it couldn't be beaten in 40 "Minotaur steps"Also: 19 walls. Very avant garde
>>290572184I still don't understand what architect means here, I've seen it used before on the site but never got a concrete meaning
>>290572833my hero tanked that
>>290571930>Baku is sweatingHe is about to get more beautiful
>>290572931EXITfuck the kadokura hater btw
>>290572028So this sort of confirms to me the idea that (because of superman syndrome) Minowa kind of NEEDS to keep himself fed and starves and tires out much faster, makes sense with how much he rests in between bouts, rooms, and mental confrontation. I guess taking so much damage from Marco he ended up hungry?
>>290572357>Madarame Baku realizes you are a big liar uncolorized
>>290572585He banked STRONGLY on Kadokura not being there for a 1v1 that wasn't the final one, and that he could kill Baku unimpeded during the 30 second M-time
>>290572634He's been doing it all labyrinth, actually. But yes, yes he is
>>290576339Fat fetishist
>>290572732>The lie eater lied Bros? Our hero?
>>290572794How fucking strong does Minowa have to be to CLEARLY slice off>Skin>Skill>Hair>BrainAll at the same time?>>290572957>>290572992Of course, he's a close combat addict. Winning would ruin the combat
>>290576575Don't tell me you've forgotten the golden rule even the strongest Kakerou referees follow without exception......................."It takes one to know one"
>>290572931>local samurai slays minotaur
>>290572958It's actually a bit frightening how Kadokura somehow gains physical + mental attributes post lobotomy instantly.
>>290573304>He actually scammed the same guy to getting his shirt backBaku really is frightening sometimes
>>290576684Minowa forcibly removed his limiter
>>290573636I think this is the start of Usogui having elaborate but well made gambles and art, so a solid 7. If we're rating this out of all the gambles it's a solid middle-upper tier like all Baku gambles
>>290573917>>290573956Marco is such a good boy, genuinely doesn't deserve the shit he's put through>>290574172>Usogui only gets good at the later halfEveryone always says "Just wait until hangman ends, it'll be worth it"
>>290574189>>290574256>Most forgettable It's fairly sleeper but it's kino all the same. Kaji really comes into his own in this one >>290574303The intent is obviously a space within the bull, in which case cavity is appropriate, but that avoids the element of Kaji's metaphorical rebirth as a gambler that goes on during the arc, hence Bull's Womb/Uterus
>>290573458So, "you" wanna fight too?
>>290576636Surely our hero Usogui would not be a Big Liar?>>290576757Suppose so Kino schizokura incoming later
>>290576546Thank you anon, now I will know for the funny discourse
>>290574518You're in for a treat OP>>290574467WRONG, it's Karl, it's always Karl
>>290573554all our HEROES are hereyup YUP, nobody's missing!
>>290573622Literally next two arcs
>>2905736368/10 and i'm being completely biased here.Really the first arc that really made me say 'This shit is so fucking good'I doozed a bit with the paper labyrinth even if i really liked yuukide as an antagonist. But everything in the real labyrinth was so just fucking good. I was finally able to get the smaller details this second time. Maybe helps that i binged the arc in plane flight, but man, i fucking loved it.
>>290573956Really like this moment.Kaji said it, despite it all, i don't think baku is a bad guy.
>>290574189I'm so ready for Kaji and Karl's excellent adventure.
>>290574189uterus? sounds like a job for the rapeGOD
>>290571662I think they are actually referring to Amako here
>>290577788Yes...
>>290571847
>>290567995I was considering the same but for Liar Game. Maybe we could do a bit of sequential gambling manga storytime.
>>290578236Lot to do between all that stuff and Kakegurui
>>290578236Liar Game is awful to reread and the ending is terrible
>>290578250Wait theres a Kakegurui storytime? Or there will be?I can't miss that
>>290578392It's unfinished isn't it? Not sure why there would be a storytime that, and the anime is just better
>>290578426>unfinishedStill? Or author just gave up?I remember reading it on and off a long time ago, never made past ch 50 or somethingI just recall I got some good faps out of it
>>290578426Anime Yumeko is one of the prettiest female characters ever made. Would she and baku be gambling buddies? Both are fairly unhinged when it comes to that, but as far as i recall, Yumeko is just in for the thrill, while Baku has a goal for all the shit, that he enjoys the thrill is a bonus
>>290578250I read the other Manga by that author shitsuraken and it may be the worst Manga I have ever read (certainly on par with omega)
>>290578470It's a LN series is it not? I don't remember I'm not well versed in it.>>290578544She is made for sex, but I don't think she'd get along with Baku. Baku, for all his faults, is a responsible guy and doesn't want his friends to devour themselves into a gooomble coma. Meanwhile Yumeko be like>I want to go GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBLINGAnd her retarded thrillseeking turns everyone around her into a passively suicidal 200 IQ retard who takes an insane 50/50 so they can feel the thrill of the VOID but yeah. Yumeko probably values her friends as fellow gamblers and fun people, but she's kind of just there to get her fix. Baku might be the type to try to fix her before realizing she's just a gambling addict who's lucky all the time.
>>290572931Delinquet Style: Lobotomy Punch
>>290578544Yumeko would work better with AkagiNot in the lewd or man+woman sense, just that they'd probably kill each other on endless gambling
>>290572989spoiler no, I mean it last warning "Kakerou has been nothing but a tool for Usogui..." and "When did this begin?" Same as with Yakou A, they are on the cusp of figuring "it" out because Baku can't help but dangle the answer in front of you.
Last year for New Years me and my best friend played surpassing the leader with a taser and it was really, really fucking kino. We were both wasted and had my brother as the ref, it was such a great time and so excilerating
>>290576636>"It takes one to know one"Do you even realize what this implies?Grandpa is a gamer!
>>290574189Thanke OP, tomorrow is going to be wild.
>>290573509>>290574172>>290574365>>290573542So, how did you think when Kyara die, no fakeout
>>290579416I don't think we're even getting to the gamble tomorrow
>>290578265Most of it was very good, Much more fun game theory in it. (except for game 5. I might honestly stop a reread on game five even though it is so close to the end)I like the reading that the ending is a meta commentary on the author feeling personally silenced by his editor, but the game before it is still quite bad
Private Funeral Division is such a cool name for an organization
>>290579455It's good on a first read, but yes like 85% of it is explaining the games and doing the games, there's very few character moments which is a shame since the characters are pretty likeable, and there's next to no character development for anyone
>>290573522First time reader here, I can't help but notice Kadokura Yuudai isn't marked as deceased.
>>290579050The game isn't called that, and although at this point the connection would be made clear and as of such it would be a spoiler to name the game, I feel that if you had named the game initially you could have been more descriptiveIt does seem like it would be an extremely fun game
>>290579572
>>290579417The signs were slowly increasing as the fight went on, and him diving straight into a radioactive waste spot pretty much solidified it/spoiler]
>>290579417>>290579740Having him say this the chapter before the guy who ends up killing him 300 chapters later is introduced is crazy. Sato really had every little detail planned from the start
>>290579417 That was the only fight in the series where I felt unsure of what would happen because both of them seemed like they would winThen when it ended in mutual fatalities, I felt like a god
>>290579828He has stated in interviews that he didn't have everything planned, he just had the abstracts and some ideasThere is obviously a Lot of foreshadowing, but the specifics of things were decided as they happenedI vaguely remember the labyrinth as something where he knew how he wanted it to start and how he wanted it to end and he figured out the middle as he wrote
>>290579994That's crazy since there's so many details that activate your neurons on a reread. I guess giving you the impression that he planned everything in advance is still the sign of a great writer
>>290571829Mostly correct. Once Minowas mother got him diagnosed, she decided that his one in a million musculature should be honed and focused upon to the detriment of Minowas wellbeing. Ergo, she force-fed him immense amounts of food so he'd bulk up even more, while occasionally buying him math homework because Minowa is autistic enough to do so as a recreational activity. Which of course, led to his disturbing mentality and association with physical pain & hunger. Honestly he's more of a victim than anything
>>290580345where does this information even come from
>>290580364The text
>>290579828I dont remember where I read but most mangakas start their stories with the ending already done and work from thereThe problem is magazines tend to make them drag it out as long as possible when it makes success so most of them inevitably burn out and end up as slop
>>290580364It came to me in a dream
>>290572803Eh, so-and-so. He knew it was an either-or between noticing the real trick or calling out Bakus fake trick, so while it was still harrowing, it was only by a bit
>>290572582Yakou does on Protoporos with all those would-be assassins.
>>290578992>spoiler The thought of Baku not being happy playing everyone unless he's leading someone on to challenge him is kind of hilarious
>>290572590Pretty cool spread.
>>290580424>>290580345>>290580364Impressive levels of larping and inference, I applaud the synthesis of semi-plausible and accurate headcanon with written and visual evidence. This is honestly pretty believable, I can see this as something Baku would come up with
>>290572833Kadokurabros...
>>290573636This manga is so good that people are rating this awesome gamble a 7 because that's the only way to compare it with the last few gambles.
>>290572582Yakou purges some guy who refused to pay up after a gamble. For the life of me I can't remember when it happened though.
>>2905736368/10. While Rodem showing up and rocking peoples shit was the hook, Labyrinth was the arc that cemented my love of Usogui. Paper Labyrinths game of deception & the shenanigans of Minotaur are just fucking fantastic, and it only got better from here
>>290573636>rereaders rating THIS ARC just 7/10jesus christ I am in for a ride aren't I?I don't remember the last time I felt actual chills reading a manga, and this arc got me like that more than once
>>290574256Bronze Bull is honestly one of my favorites. Kaji gambles always feel like there is more at stake because you genuinely can't tell if the man is going to fuck up or not.
>>290573501Nigga, you need a pair of fucking glasses.
>>290573956Shit, Yukiideyou are not the only one tearing up
>>290580672I consider it good, but not among the best ones.I like the next gamble better
>>290573522Ooh, that's why the change in kanji in that flashback.
>>290580633Okay it was all the way back in chapter 37. He had some guys hidden in the rice
>>290574493...of which characters, I'm compelled to ask
>>290574256huh? I thought the bronze bull happened before the labyrinth
>>290574256I think its peaks are very high. I like it a lot.
>>290574056KEK
>>290574189>bull>uterusHuh?
>>290580858>he doesn't know
>>290579417I was confused because he ate the pill. It wasn't until Baku showed up that I understood he was really dead. This is a different story, but its also why I thought Ohma really "died" because his death was so similar to Kyara
>>290580879Well, Ohma not dying was probably a retcon, and also a shit decision by the writer
>>290580617That makes a lot of sense because I was wondering why this arc was "only" a seven when personally I'd give it at least a 7.5 or 8. I thought anons were being too harsh or my standards were too low.
>>290580873
>>290580910You're right to feel that way. This arc is definitely the best yet, but the actual best is yet to come
>half a volume>bump limit alreadyDidn't know this manga is quite popular.
>>290580364The text and basic inference
>>290580986Its mostly kengansissies overreacting to every single page
I haven't read kengan, and as of such I consider the schizoposting about "Me" and "Nutrient" and "Scaling" the "Wall" to be surreal bullshit that almost makes sense at some pointsIt's a little bit amusing
>>290581071Asura is actually good, but all the memes come from Omega which is actual, pure dogshit
>>290581095And what if I were to "read" omega "Without" asura?What then "?"
>>290581148A lot of characters return from Asura so you would be lacking a lot of context
>>290581148>what if eat a plate of dogshit instead of a normal meal? what then?
>>290581095Asura is kinda bad. Not Omega bad, almost nothing is, but an extremely flawed with side plots that go nowhere and comically useless villains and wheel spinning and sandro favoritism. It's easy to remember the good fights at the tail end and memory hole most of it.Only posting about this because we're at bump limit
>>290581186But the hype moments though
>>290581071Amusement is the only salve for the poor bastards who read Omega in its entirety, everything else about it is purely fucking maddening
>>290581207Every single hype moment in Omega is just like you gooning for a week, edging all the while and then Sandro comes, kick you in the nuts, shoves ice cubes up your ass and farts on your face
>>290581242I meant in Asura where the hype moments have proper buildup and feel like deserved payoffs
>>290581175What if I took every challenge right from the start?What if I start from the end and move backwards?What if instead of allowing the story to "Happen" to me, I am to project my own will onto it, to replace it's inner essence from the very start?What if I "Defeat" omega?WhatThen?
>>290581284"You" are "scaling" the "ceiling' at "that" "fucking" "point"
I "am" genuinely tempted to "read" kengan at this point to "up" my shitposting "game"I know there were storytimes for omega, but what about asura?
>>290581753There was, a month or two ago?They did Asura + Omega back to back
>>290581284>Defeat the "Omega"Not possible
>>290581753They're frequent enough, usually Asura + Omega back to back, but it's a good enough read alone. By the way, Kenganisms only really began in Omega anyway so you'd still be "green" until you consumed the "nutrient" that is Omega
>>290581148Reading Omega without the context of Asura means it doesn't hurt as much when the quality craters because you have no frame of reference. For example, the worst moment when a certain character appears is a direct spit in the face of Asura's ending.>>290581186I will agree that a lot of Sandroisms appear in Asura and bring the overall quality down, but there's more good fights other than the final few. Seki's R1 was great.
What a gamble huh?
>>290573636it's short and a 2 parter, the actual labrynth might be weaker than the maze drawing though Minowa and Marco's fight was so well done. Genuine 8 or 9/10 arc, Kadokura was a great ref. Strong timeless panels. It has a smaller cast too compared to what's ahead
>>290573723I wonder if it had his father's voice recorded?If you don't have anyone to say it to you tomorrow I'll say itWelcome home. Tadaima Anon.
>>290582654Thank you, anon. I needed that.
>>290582654I can't tadaima if I never ittekimasu
>>290573956on my first read I bawled and on this one I am too as I type.So many authors would never revisit this. Or offer redemption and healing to an antagonist that frankly WAS doing evil (but controlled via trauma against his true will) and I think many of us know the loneliness of lost time. The whole "gambling a day of your life your memories" conceptually always screamed jealousy or envy. But Baku and Marco showed him love that cut right through all that evil.
>>290582654Hey, fuck you. I read the whole fucking thing without tearing up. What gives you the right to break me right before the thread ends?thanks...
>>290573883Just want to say I really like the throwaway panel about crushing some guy's balls
>>290573956>>290573984I always wondered just how far into the future this is supposed to happen, at some point I just figured this was either not long before hijacking the TV show or once he became the leader of Kakerou, since that may also be the hospital in which Hal was.
>>290571881>>290571907>>290571930>the Minotaur devours the criminalI kinda just got it now
>>2905736368/10. Honestly every gamble that's after OH MY SCANNER EYE one is a 8/10 for me. The tower is really hard to understand so it might be a 7/10. It's always the fights of Usogui that's the most retarded in the sense of logic.
>>290574256Nigga the Bull arc is genuinely a fantastic arc, Kaji the RAPIST shined for the first time all by himself
>>290583538I agree but he was carried by Karl
>>290574189Thanks OP>>290574256Somehow I think this arc is better than labyrinth, or I just have weird standard
