Let's finish this volume.Also thanks again to Fumbler-san for jumping in yesterday!
Other Volumeshttps://pastebin.com/9HGt1efZVolume 34 1/2>>291514906
There’s no loyalty in Ideal, even Kakerou has more unification and they have a system that places referees against each other to fight to the death. They may not be fully loyal to Souichi but they’re loyal to the position of Leader. Only Baku’s faction of Marco and Kaji have unconditional loyalty
>>291534603His whistleblower powerlevel is too great for even Boeing to touch him!
>>291534700Billy was loyal, for the rest Lalo himself said that almost no one in the organization knows his real identity
>>291534700>>291534759Letting Desu-chan die was a big mistake
>>291534810Hi OP, I got a question.Was The Encirclement of the Four Gods Anon vs OP match ever finished.who won, what score. please help pastebin anon out, Im stupid and cant find it anywhere.
>>291534810>knows Kaji has the advantage now in the gamble>I was j-joking about what I said before. Don’t take it p-personally
>>291534817There is one round leftBut i never came around to play it.Probably Tomorrow (if anon is still up to it) as i have to go after todays thread.
>>291534603I can't believe Floyd exposed Silvio Berlusconi
>>291534810What a nice guy
>>291534861Thank you for answering, enjoy the story!Also the Pastebin is now up to date!https://pastebin.com/9HGt1efZ
>>291534529Explains why Lalo's allies are all Asian.
>>291534948Nippon strong!
>>291534603Honestly a pretty cool character concept, which makes him immediately sniffing out Kaiji's gay pedo backstory even funnier
>>291534990I am...a totally different "me"...
>>291534529I missed the perfect "timing" today...
Looks like I got the "timing" WRONG :P.
>>291535074>>291535077A Anon who always gets the "timing" right doesnt exist...
Kinda to cool see how normal people like Champ are impressed by Kaji’s deductions and strategy since he used to be that guy. He’s become a formidable gambler now
>>291535146Floyd Lee-sama I KNEEL
Kaji-kun...
>>291535165Baku is not a killer, Kaji is mistaken here. He still thinks Baku is some ruthless gambler that will sacrifice everything to win even his allies. he’s such a softie he refused to kill Hal in the end
>>291534603I can't believe someone would spread fake news about a new virus! Thank god Floyd set them right
>>291535146he knows japs are pussies and wont shoot
>>291534630>>291534652I have to say, Vampyr-kun is one of my favorite referees just from his cool factor.
>>291535211Sako should have had Kaji kill here and I’ll continue to stand by it. It’s the only mistake he made with his arc
Weekly drawn panels btw.
>>291535187Wtf I thought Kaji would shoot him in the arm -_-; what a kwab
>>291535245cant have our relatable protagonist shooting people, many such cases in manga
>>291534817Technically OP cheated by adding a 4th round and anon then chose to treat it as a new set of 3 rounds.I think OP used Down and anon used UP?
The fact that Kaji couldn't shoot Floyd here probably proves he was right when arguing with Nameribone about who killed IkutoKaji didn't kill him. It was Nameribone.Kaji the INNOCENT
>>291535261>YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG
Kaji’s kindness is a strength, him refusing it to become a weakness of his and sticking by his virtues is more admirable than him becoming some ruthless gambler for no reason. It’s what drew Baku to him in the first chapter after all and floyd. He reaps benefits from it. Remember Leader said, to be a gambler capable of challenging StL, one needs to create bonds and this is how Kaji creates bonds. Baku didn’t draw people to him by being some psychotic cutthroat murderer
>>291535050Assumptions Kaji...
>>291535146The manliest bluff in the whole manga
>>291535404Kaji.........
>>291534630>>291534652Sick.>>291535233With how old and bushido he is I imagine he was a menace during the war.
I didn’t expect a side character like champ to get so much focus and be the voice of reason. He’s great, he’s actually one of the most developed characters in the series.
>>291534505If someone cares, that's a Lincoln Continental mark VII of 1991 with a V8 engine of... 200 hp!
You guys were right Kaji has a great character-arc in protoporos.
Why can’t Baku and Kaji just talk man to man?
THE LEGENDARY TRAVELER KAJI
>>291535507He truly did walk 10000 steps...
>>291535370Point being proven here again>>291535446
>>291535507This is the best Kaji page in the series, even more than the crying one
>>291535507>Kaji becomes more handsome
>>291535507>best arc>best glow upChadji the chad
>>291535504Baku is too scary in gambler mode and too chill in friend mode
>>291535367I wasn't sure about Champ sticking around but he's been great so far
>>291535367Let's go Champ.
>>291535146holy shit
>>291535507LET'S GOOOOOOO >:; ddddd
Bears repeating but Marco got written out here, kek. I feel like Marco could’ve said what champ did in his own retarded way but it does make more sense coming from Champ who’s also "normal"
>>291535211I know Floyd is Kajis fight and the penultimate gamble for him. But I'm so curious as to how this gamble would have gone if it was Baku vs Floyd
>>291535627>>291535652Kadokura, that's not even close to being neutral. This is a conspiracy.
>>291535245You are wrong and don't understand Kaji as a character.Imagine I attached an image of Kaji saying he can't understand you one bit.
>>291535731Dont talk like that about KADOKURA THE NEUTRAL.He never takes favorites!
>>291535724Floyd gets out-thought by Kaiji, Baku would somehow sniff out when Floyd picked the taser/iron shield and get the taser and win.
>>291535302>it's okay Baku-sanIt seems that Champ wasn't the biggest slave here, but Kaji.
>>291535686If Marco were there I don't think Kaji would be scared
>>291535446Kaji's KWAB'ing this volume was hard to read but Champ and Ryuusei (and Kadokura) are hard carrying it for me
>>291535798Harima? Is that you?
>>291535507KAJI THE REBORN no longer the rapist
>>291535877I still don't get why the rubber shield breaks here
KAJI THE FORSEER
>>291535912Okay that's some fucking bullshit
AAAIIIIIIIIIIIII
>>291535912LUCKCHADS
>>291535912Even Kaji's confused
>>291535912Seems like an accident with the way Kaji reacted
>>291535211Kaji aged 50 years after shooting that
I'm sorry but I can't help but wonder why everyone is ok with a fucking vampire as a ref.
>>291535912i thought Kaji had intentionally aimed there at first
>>291535970he's not a vampire he's a ninja
>>291535970What's wrong with that?!
>>291535912basednever give up mentally even if all seems lostbullshit can just happen
Kaji displaying all 3 things Leader talked about to Baku in StL. Luck, skill, and being able to create bonds
>>291535970He's not even the weirdest
>>291535762it seems Kadokura has really gotten used to making slightly indiscreet faces
>>291536011True but there was also strength.
>>291534788So he just admitted to having the mother of all hard ons in public?
>>291535970>>291535981Both of you got it wrong, he's a samurai.
>>291536069Mogamisisters...
>>291536069>his superpower is he's such a little bitch the ref feels sorry for himwow... our hero
>>291536069Kadokura the lovable brain damaged freak
>>291535970I'm more concerned about the ref with literal brain damage
>>2915360691. That's a Nosferatu2. Kado you big liar
>>291536069Kadokura is being a little indiscreet about his Tzimisce origins here
>>291536069This whole moment happened because Kaji outsmarted Floyd in the 2nd round and got the gun in the first place
>>291535686Marco is just too strong now, his strength de escalates situations now.
>>291536214That is a great face.
>>291536214Sweet I love these messy gambles
>>291535912Kaji spraying and praying has ironically saved him twice now.
>>291535923Just as bullshit as Kaji breaking a camera by shooting blindly at the ceiling.
>>291536214>Kaji suddenly achieves Nirvana
Pretty funny how Baku is never there to witness Kaji’s victories or successful strategies despite him wanting Baku acknowledge him>the card game with the monkey dude >Bulls womb >exposing the murderer on KY>battleship>this game of course this changes in air poker and that’s one of the most satisfying payoffs in the series
>>291536302The 3rd spear...
>>291536267Not the same, that was purely accidental. This was a combination of luck and skill leading to this>>291536201
>>291534810Now not one but TWO people have mistaken Kaji for that Takaji guy who was on KY Declaration. When will it end?
>>291536370KAJI RUN HE'S GOT A SPEAR(gun)
>>291536398You mean, he was wanting to die here
>>291536425Welp Kaji's dead.
>>291536398Huh? He wanted to lose and die here? Then wtf was the point of his newfound resolved attitude about wanting to fight for himself and be at Baku’s side? You can’t help Baku or yourself when you’re dead
>>291536510Luckchad Kaji
>>291536550Rubber was luckThis was resolve
Doesn’t Kaji wanting to lose and die here and make the previous chapters and his entire arc worthless? Pretty lame direction to go in, Sako. It’s like he regressed from bulls womb, KY, and battleship
>>291536568May Allah forgive me for using these words, but you are media illiterate
>>291536577Now that is something Baku would do, it’s more similar to him than murdering Floyd who’s not even a bad guy. Kaji has grown
>>291536562KAJI MY MASOCHISTIC HERO
>>291536642my hero looks so cool....
>>291536666Ultra Satan...
>>291536642SWORD SAINT TAKAJI
KINO!I enjoy that Kaji is going the no killing route even if it's harder
>>291536693It's a little naive, but it's also what a HERO would do.
>>291534603how does Floyd mean pale in jp? can someone post the raws?
>>291536693Would Baku have killed Floyd?
>>291536693Japanese sword folded 1000, no... 1001 times.
>>291536748Definetly not he would have tasered him and then done what Kaji does here, bluffs him into taking a step back.
>>291536745"I" will post after the dump.
MY HERO KAJI WOOING OVER THE VILLIAN WITH HIS CHARISMA STAT
>>291536748Not at all, people who think Baku is that ruthless clearly haven’t been paying attention. Floyd loves exposing lies. Baku would find interest in him. Also, there’s a reason Sako never wrote a gamble where Baku straight up kills someone directly
>>291536568Kaji knows he has less bios than Floyd and Floyd will spend big for the spear, and thus is saving his bios for after he TANKS the spear.
That's it for Volume 34!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or the LEGENDARY TRAVELER will come for your BIOS!See you tomorrow for the first half of Volume 35!
>>291536828Kaji out here spamming the Mercy button until he wins the fight
>>291536847Thank you for posting OP!
>>291536847Thanks OP. Good volume as a whole, I like when a volume contains an entire gamble / fight.>>291536832--------------Yet-------------
>>291536832Hangman sort of refeems him, so I'm fine with not considering that.But the police game is partly Bakus fault and caused untold suffering. It's why he was so kind to ant-boy.
>>291536801>>291536828>>291536847Kaji won the physical battle and more importantly the mental game. He completely wooed Floyd, unknowingly planted a seed that bore fruit.
RATE THE CONTRADICTION GAME
>>291534603>>291536745Here is the page
>>291536847Thanke OP, no extra for this volume?
>>2915368959/10 game design, 8/10 character drama, 7/10 gaming.
>>291536905I guess the katakana for "white" is same as "Furoido"
Interesting that by not trying to be like Baku so heavily he becomes more similar to him in the sense that he’s drawing people to him through his own charisma, having enough resolve to shake others, taking extreme risks
>>2915368958.5/10 like seeing Kaji grow more as a person and the gamble wasn't too hard to follow
>>291536895One of the best moments in Protoporos overall
>>291516180>>291516462And for youIf anybody wants the raw pages from this volume, just ask.
>>291536895Great fun game and more excellent development for Kaji and Champ is great as well
>>2915368958.5/10 it was perfectly paced and had really good character developement. To contradict myself, it was also a little too serious for my taste. Which it of course had to be but still.
>>2915368959/10 real gambling! Kaji is single handedly carrying this arc!
>>2915368959/10Kaji is turning into one of my favorite characters i really liked every gamble he was the main part in
>>291535507>>291536801HOLY FUARK, how strong will EoS CHADji become?
>>291535211Kaji is retarded, why bet every last Bios? just keep like a couple hundreds for the mind games betting 1 or 10 like he did until now
>>291535146>what are you gonna do, shoot me?
Does Kaji get one more big moment or gamble after this, just tell me. I want to see the satisfaction of Baku acknowledging him as a great gambler or helping him directly in a gamble
>>291536895Extremely good. I've missed a simple gamble when not everything is a Sharlock Holmes mindgame wizardry type shit and yet the stakes feel real. And Kaji is just so fucking awesome like he must be stronger than Kyara by how much he's carrying this arc.
>>291536912Doesnt look like it, it wasnt in the files
>>291537051No I will not tell you.
>>291535367>Baku-san I too am a recovering slave, I know what it's like
>>291537051There is one more major moment for Kaji and plenty of minor ones
>>291537051Don't read it if you are new because its a big moment for him imo but.Air poker. He's the first one to understand the game and give Baku a hint on how it works
>>291535507Baku tulpa jobbing count: 2
>>291535507You've earned the right to fight the true rapist
>>291535627>>291535652Kadokura the Whacky
>>291536531>Intentionally include getting shot as part of your plan to winBaku would be proud for him that.
Using powerscaling lingo, who does current Kaji scale to? Has he reached Suteguma, think at this point he has the resolve to take a knife to the eye and can actually fight back against him physically on the stairs unlike Baku.
>>291535912Kaji PLANNED this!
>>291535912ooh, I thought he shot the shield to see if it was actually bulletproof
>>291536069>he has the talent of a small fluffy animal that makes you go "awwww"
>>291536847Kaji now has another sugar daddy after him.
How long did this game last in universe, 45 minutes? What were Marco and Souichi doing the entire time?
>>291536214>if only you knew how bad things really were
>>291537181I don't speak this lingo but I can explain it to you in "Gu Ritual" or "Wrestling lingo" also called "Carny".
>>291536642That's how a DYEL dies.
>>291536444>>291536497I think it's supposed to mean that this was the kind of ending he was hoping for BEFORE he got the will to live
>>291536531Gunfags how likely is someone to survive a shot like this?
>>291537224Yucking it up with eggs and coke
Kaji, Champ and Kyara have been the mvps so far, step up your game Marco. We haven’t seen what Hal is doing yet
>>291535481I care car-san
>>291537237Not him, but I am interested.
>>291536828I like that Floyd is not a massive asshole and just accepts the result. I guess you'd expect someone who's dedicated their life to being a whistleblower to not be a complete monster.
>>291536847Thanks OP. It's a conspiracy of the heart Floyd
>Robert K and Floyd have basically switched sides Would Billy have the done the same, or would he totally loyal?
>>291537292>We haven’t seen what Hal is doing yetYeah we have, seducing sugar mommies and aurafarming on the balcony.
>>291537338Billy would 100% stick with Lalo. But he also wouldn't have lost like those two did.
>>291536693this doesn't really make sense, how did the fake sword get on the table? the referees are supposed to put them there under a cloth, so Kaji couldn't have switched themalso was it really allowed using another weapon other than the 3 spears? shouldn't Kaji lose by default?
Is Kaji still a murder rapist in the eyes of the public or is KEKarou still spreading lies?
>>291537414He just had it in his scabbard the entire time, you can see it in >>291536345As for the rules, I don't know
>>291537414You can see him reaching towards his hip for it here.>>291536620
>>291537414>>291537497Here are the pages with rules
>>291537122That's a Hachina tulpa tho
>>291537642>The "attacker" can only deal one blow>Nothing specifically states that the attacker has to use the spearSon of a bitch, that's clever.
>>291537292Meanwhile, Marco...
>>291535556still "THE HAND" page for me, but this one is Top 3 for sure.
>>291537281very likely9mm is weak, even more so if it didn't hit any organ or cut through any major artery
Machimaho 10th Anniversary Celebration Illustration by Sako
>>291537883>>291537906Sakos tweets are the only time I don't get angry I'm forced to look at social media.
>>291538207Need more drills in stories
>>291538207Sako had way too much fun drawing those drills for sure.
>>291536069Kadokura the fair, impartial, unbiased, etc
>>291535187>>291535211BOOOOOOOOOO! Should've shoot his arm at the very least!
>>291535367Ho, Champ finally showing his worth.
>>291535507Awakened Kaji!
>>291536801Kaji literally aura mogged him
>>291536895EXCELLENT/10
>>291537051The Baku/Kaji partnership gets one of the best payoff moments in the whole series.
>>291537181Amako.
>>2915368957/10Pretty decent. Just thought there was too much luck and hesitation from Kaji, he didn't even shoot Floyd's leg or anything
>>291536895I really like it, it's only held back by some overreliance on luck
>>291536069GOBLINkura the NEUTRAL
>>291536510>9mm
>>291535507fuck yeah kaji
>>291535912Luck is a skill, right?
>>291536069Nice grin.
>>291536214Kaji looks sad, is it a face of determination?
>>291535912Kaji's greatest skill really is just his luck.
>>291536847Thanks.
>>291534500I got a little busy at some point during the Ky declaration dumps and missed a whole bunch of threads.But remember these words: One day I will catch up and stand next to all of you again.In the meantime>>291416948kek, humilliation ritual
>>291536772>>291536801>>291536828Feels a bit like bullshit, to be honest. Kaji's victories always feel kinda cheap.
>>291534990Did Kadokura become "neutral" in this moment?
>>291535038Kaji really can't help but make assumptions huh
>>291535286Jesus that headshot is brutal
>>291537051He's gonna gamble against leader, there's no way Sako built that up for no reason
>>291535507Kino
>>291536568Are you fucking stupid? He took the shot on purpose to win; that was his determination.>>291536577
>>2915372819mms are notoriously bad at landing kill shots
>>291542216From 30cm away?
>>291536895It's not Bull's Womb but it's Kaji kino still. I'd say maybe a 8.5 to a 9. It's got very little foreshadowing compared to the other gambles we've seen, but it had solid pacing. It was only about 7 chapters?
>>291536568The point is that he's determined to risk his life to survive and win on his own, rather than just to benefit Baku. The old him would have been more "welp I'm dead Champ, guess that's my lot in life, be sure to shank Floyd with Marco later"
>>291542307From any distance, 9mm's especially from older low power pistols have notoriously struggled at killing or stopping power. That being said, the nature of death and damage due to gunshots depends on random factors outside of the actual gun shot or ammo, like artery damage
>>291536089>>291537212I mean.... Kaji learned from the best.A version of Baku with zero charm or charisma loses to Suteguma.
>>291542821Erm this is life or death we're talking about. God decides; science has nothing to do with it.
>>291542854Baku called Ranko a liar after that though. I interpreted it that he knew Ranko is too prideful to be manipulated by Ideal and would help him anyways, as well as knowing Suteguma would fuck up on the final choice. Essentially she has made her decision from the start and was just tsun to Baku about it.
>>291543140That's a separate issue. Baku called Ranko a liar when she said she would shoot Marco if Suteguma got the number of beads right. Jokes aside, Ranko's reason for BELIEVING Baku wasn't deceiving her is based on vibes and a shared past experiences, not that far from what compells Kadokura to be NEUTRAL when it comes to Kaji.
30 more days of Usogui.
>>291542865Yes well God will decide you're dead if you nick a major artery in your leg and don't get help

>>291535068really nice expression thereon Floyd
Starting October 22, the original artwork exhibition of Lies Devourer will be held at Tsunashima Mizuki Hall. Admission is free, so we look forward to your visit, everyone(In the spoiler is a drawing with Souchi, Tatsuki, Yakou A, Baku and one character we haven't seen yet, open at your own risk.)
>>291535481Thank you.
>>291534550What are those things Makami has in his hair?
>>291534630>It's nothing more than the karma made by humans>>>291534670>Then look at people's karma carefully.>You'll realize that way of thinking of yours is nothing more than a delusion.I wonder what this means. I guess Floyd is saying secrets / people's true nature are something people create, while Makami says that it is really out of peoples' control?Like how Kaji became the way he is because of circumstance?
>>291535146cold
>>291535212Nah I think Baku would have shot if his opponent bet on the fact that he wouldn't.At the same time, Floyd would not have read Baku as unable to shoot, so Floyd wouldn't have called the bluff in the first place.
>>291535187Floyd still recoiled from the gunshot. Understandable.>>291535211Yeah, can you shoot or not? is the question. This manga likes putting characters in extreme situations and asking the question "Will you really act as you think you would?"

>>291535446THE POWER OF "bonds" FRIENDSHIP
>>291535469>>291535487A great evolution from this >>291547662
>>291535227>Would you have shot me if I was a disgusting criminal?Wonder if Kaji would have shot Ikuto. Kaji stopped himself from telling Ikuto about the necktie stuffed in the bull's air pipe, but would Kaji have been able to dirty his hands directly?
>>291535912lool
>>291535959Ha.
>>291536020I guess Makami is using Lalo as an example of Floyd Lee only having shallow, utility based bonds?>>291536043I like that Makami, who normally comes off as ruthless, is quite compassionate here.
>>291537212lol
>>291536444>>291536497>>291537258>>291541657Kaji did plan to tank and survive the bullet, but at the same time, he couldn't quite let go of his hope to die "in an outstanding way".>>291536486Kaji laments it himself here. "I... should have already changed", as in he should have stopped wishing to die.Which he mostly has, again he took the bullet with the intent to survive, but a part of him still wanted to die.
>>291536562>>291536577Crazy.>>291536615Ok there's a bit too much whitewashing of Baku going on in these threads. Baku is not a bad person, but he's not a good person either.
>>291537253KEK>>291536748If Floyd chooses to grandstand with the "shoot me" callout, yes I think so. But Floyd would have understood that Baku would do that, so Floyd wouldn't have played it that way.
>>291536828>>291536847charmed>>291536863lol
>>291547499Floyd said human nature is hard to expose but hard to protect, prone to self destruction, which translated to their conspiracies. Makami probably disagreed and believed people are tougher than Floyd think, as seen with Kaji here.
>>291542216That's why you use .22 long rifle instead
>>291536895I would say pretty good. Battleship is still the best so far.
>>291547853Kaji tried to stop Ikuto from getting inside the bull even if he didn't tell him about the necktie, he wouldn't shoot him directly.
>>291549512Is that what you tell yourself, Kaji? "I tried to stop him", yet why didn't you tell him about the necktie? You wanted Ikuto to die, yet you morally masturbate by convincing yourself you tried to stop him...
>>291536847Thank you for posting!
>>291542821Why are they still in use then? Is it that cheap?
>>291551830Because 9mm pistols can hold like 15+ rounds
>>291534529Makes sense, since his better henchmen are all dead, lmao. Ah... Really man, i miss Billy.
I need to stop trying to read ahead I cant stop when I start
>>291551830Cheap, easy to make high capacity, still hurts which is a good deterrent, it can knock you on your ass with a good shot still. It's perfectly adequate for self-defense and enforcement or practicing aim, but usually not more than that. Any caliber can kill, it's just some are less reliable for it. You can always use hollow points instead and have the fragments absolutely ruin someone's day and life
>>291555247Be strong Anon, there's only 3 hours and 20 minutes until the storytime!
>>291549656he... he looks like me.... I... thank you
>>291549656
>>291555510
>>291555542
>>291551830That and the fact they trade a greater need for shot placement for more ammunition per magazine
2 hours 35 minutes left!
>>291534810>Nitro panel jumpscareAnyone saved that "purge that anon" edit? I'm too lazy to go look for it in the archives

>>291534883Amazing play, Kaji-kunBet floyd was thinking he would go for the kill, so he tricked him into spending his bios.
>>291556446Found it!
I miss Billy....
Kaji’s girlfriend would’ve gotten wet seeing what he was doing in protoporos. Marco screwed him, but since Baku became leader of Kakerou, maybe he can get her number again
>>291547455hair clips, essentially
We should manufacture a bet to force OP to post a whole volume or slightly more in one of the upcoming games
>>291557610What kind? Makami reminds me of a warrior so I wonder if the things he has in his hair are tied to that.
Did a shitty tribute to OP.Also only 1 hour left!taken from volume 27
>>291534990>Kaji suddenly gets a lot more attractive>Referee has a boner
>>291557722I'm not entirely a hair clip nor Japanese cultural expert so I'm not so sure what they specifically are, but the way his hair clumps together in thicker strands reminds me of those bands girls use to keep pigtails together.
I’m in love with Kaji
next thread>>291560085>>291558780Amazing thanks
>>291536895I'm pretty conflicted on it.The game, the character development and pretty much all the mind tricks that went into were amazing. My biggest issue was how exactly kaji won. I can excuse the shield as one instance of luck (read: plot convenience), but the victory did make me raise my eyebrow.Had he specifically aimed to make Floyd leave the square, i think it would have been perfect. But again, amazing character development, amazing game, amazing tension management. i think it deserves an 8/10 at minimum. Kaji really really showed off here.
