Don't forget to put on your trusty tinfoil hat. You wouldn't want government electromagnetic waves reprogramming your subconscious with propaganda.

Not him but here's my very bad attempt
I'm bad enough at this that it looks like it would be a painful for him to live even an instant like this.

Following this storytime has made tempted me to draw the Bat. The problem is, what happens if he starts talking to me?
>>
>>290809295
>>290809338
Is this black or white...?
>>
>>290810075
didn't read ahead
Devivie purposefully talked to the chief so he would turn around, even though Devivie could have killed him from behind
I'm guessing this will be important, maybe to throw off the investigation
>>
>>290809886
Might be too late to ask this but is there a reason he looks almost identical to the Kevin's fan, Detective Smith?
They look just like the same guy and I even thought he's actually detective Smith, but I don't think that's the case considering this is like more than decades before Kevin starts to draw manga

This kind of stuff happened back then, it's not like different police departments shared information even within the same state. The golden state killer also hired as a cop despite having an extensive criminal record as a teen, and ended up investigating his own burglaries and murders.

Remember it's in 1924, predating computers and the internet.
If you want to transfer large amounts of information, someone has to print them all out, transport them by hand, and then read all of them.
I wouldn't be surprise if a good number of investigations about crimes stopped after the culprit skipped town and become too difficult to track.
>>
>>290814339
Oh yeah it's wild what people could get away with back then
Some people just had two families, one the other town over, and it would just never get discovered until the guy died and had the most awkward funeral ever

>>290825247
Ohhhhh fuuuuck. He's gotta feel stupid after unknowingly burning his lead like that.
>>
>>290809218
Jackie is getting special treatment. Devivie not only tied her up but also gagged her. Why did he feel the need to go through that extra effort to specifically gag her too? Not that I'm complaining. I'm enjoying seeing her tied up and gagged and imagining her cute little muffled "mmph mmph" whimpers. Lovely girl.

So...the whole "Billy bat hour" is based on "The woody woodpecker show" right?
Here, the creator, Walter Lantz, appeared in his office and spoke with a cartoon woody before he presented cartoons.
I don't think Walt Disney did that with mickey, the closest he did was present cartoons in "The Wonderful World of Color" but he did it alone while showing some props or wearing costumes.
The "Billy bat hour" format taking place in an office with the creator always wearing a suit resembles the Lantz's show more.

It's been a few years, but if only we were given any clarity on what the fuck they wanted, or even keeping track of who was probably talking to which bat. I think I read some commentary about how they're meant to be the hopeful and dangerous sides of ambition or other... the ending was a pleasant one in isolation, but a complete letdown compared to the build-up imo
Looking forward to how new readers react to things, we've still got a long ways to go until the Mecha-Billybat arc, and the interactive bits where the reader gets to directly interact with Billy

This whole plot of tracing comic characters to their "origins" reminds me about how Finnish cartoonist Ola Fogelberg and writer Jalmari Finne created an anthropomorfic duck called Janne Ankkanen (Janne is a male's name and Ankka means a duck; -nen is just a common suffix in Finnish surnames) in October 1917.
The comic lived only to the start of January 1918, but was able to comment and satirise the independence struggles, the workers' movement and the Finnish society as a whole at the time. Fogelberg and Finne would later release a comic where Janne was the one who agitated weaker animals to go up against stronger animals, alluding to the Finnish civil war, which started in January 1918. Fogelberg would revive Janne in 1943, during Continuation War, where Janne would comment current topics, such as war time rationing and black market business.

Fogelberg became aware of Walt Disney's Donald Duck later on, and said that despite the resemblance was significant, it must've been just a coincidence. Both of the characters are, funnily enough, quick-tempered. Fogelberg drew this crossover image in 1943, where Janne meets Donald (Aku in Finnish) peacefully.
Translation:
Who are You?! Donald Duck, You say! Well, since I'm older than You, I propose that we'll leave drop the honorifics - my name is Janne - thank you!

Or maybe (and don't read if you haven't read the manga before, I assume you did) it's a subtle hint that deep down he has the capability of being a good person.

I love Billy Bat. Genuinely his most entertaining work. And it's a bit of meta feeling how it makes you want for more with each cliffhanger.

Back in Ninja times the Japanese discovered a scroll with a bat that could (potentially) be used to control the world and or manipulate time.
The scroll was never delivered to the government, and hidden by a ninja.
But the spirit of the scroll manipulates people and turns them schizo and gives them the power of prophecy. Many influential people in history were manipulated or given foresight by the bat.
Zofuu and his Sensei were artists given influence by the bat, which then spread to Kevin, causing him to get involved with the Railroad Incident and JFK. Kevin saved a young mulatto boy instead of JFK, who can also see the bat.
But in between those events, Chuck Culkin (real), and Chuck Culkin (fake), a man tasked with expanding the Billy Bat empire by ______ took the Bat to spread his influence even further, for some reason.
The glowies and Culkin are both looking for the scroll to control history.

So where do Jesus and Judas fit in to this whole mess?
Man without context this manga seems like the most batshit insane thing ever
>>
>>290884418
The scroll was made by a Jesuit missionary that had come to Japan, which was stolen by his disciple who that couldn't resist the temptation to bring it back to his clan so they could use it for war. For that to happen, Christianity needed to exist. The bat made sure that of all the so-called messiahs cropping up in the region at that time, Jesus was the one that went down in history

She sleeps with a Chuck Culkin Billy Bat plushie. It's not just when she was little.

Fucks a billy bat and what does it have tk do with tinfoilers? My name's Billy.

The Lee Harvey Oswald arc shows Urusawa has the capability to write good endings. Is there just something going on when he decides to finish a manga?
>>
>>290883049
Doesn't change the fact that it's a lifeless ripoff.
>>
>>290884554
I always thought the Jesus chapters were simply high-octane shitposting, I never considered it was because the bat needed a transmission vector to Japan
God damn

>>290885684
Not sure if it was this post, but going through the archives it might have been this one.

how do they explain the other billy bat artist popping up for devivivi to kill all over the world

>>290887666
Billy has left traces of himself all over the world throughout history. You only need to see him once by accident to be infected.
>>
>>290887666
Billy has very limited reception, he takes whatever he can.

Friendly reminder that you can now buy an official translation of Billy Bat at a bookstore near you! (If you live in America, the only country that matters)
>>
is the official TL good?
the scanlations have their ups and downs, especially since the series was done by multiple groups
but the prospect of not staring at mangaupdates watermarks is enticing
>>
billy commands you to draw jackie lewds, anon.
>>
>>290889627
Seems alright from the first volume, but I don't know JP so I can't verify the accuracy of it.

There's one panel where Billy tells Kevin "We'll just say he got run over by a car" in the scalation is "I'm gonna go run this guy over" in the official release.
>>
>>290867469
Now that's the REAL billy bat... a true Kevin Yamagata original

this one?
I'm only an intermediate, but speaking literally he says "turn into car-crash body"

which can be interpreted like scanlation did, in the sense of arranging the body so it appears like he died in a car crash
or like the official TL, which says they'll run the body over
it's unclear whether the prone Billy is dead here, so maybe official TL assumed he's still alive
I'm not fluent enough to judge which is the more natural interpretation
>>
>>290893403
wont that make it になる?since its にする
my jap isnt very good but seems like he is saying "this fella car crash dead body decided"
its more inline with "We'll just say he got run over by a car" than the official TL
>>
>>290894261
it's the other way around
になる is "become X", passive
にする is "make it be X" and implies action
>>
>>290893403
Yeah.

>>290893403
wait a second, were the two billies fighting to decide what happens here

Literally. On /x/ they call me Nobody. That’s a stupid name

Well everything is stupid. I asked what was going in though. This thread was doomed to die.
