>>291622887IS THAT A MICHAEL JACKSON REFERENCE???
ovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>291623141>>291623173Seems like a swell guy! At what point does he start becoming twisted?
>>291622865>>291622680Did I fucking miss something? Didn't this guy shoot Moorehouse as he ran away with the scroll? Why is this happening in the current year?
>>291622627>Manchild dad hogging the comic book instead of doing his chores and letting his son read itkek
>>291624191Finny was the one who got shot when Morehouse was going to take over the facility, now the facility and the scroll are Morehouse's
>>291622800>Kevin Goodman's security has gotten stricter>He was unprotected in a skid row filled with skinheads like a chapter agokek
>>291622847I figured Finny would have killed this guy since he managed to crawl all the way to the park
>>291623141What a nice guy
>>291624272oh right, this guy is slightly more hook nosed
>>291623639Always was. He's deliberately acting like he can see the bat to fool Kevin G and carefully studied his and Yamagata's works to accomplish this. You can already see a hint of it here, where he wants Culkin enterprises to become a "shelter for the future", by which he means he wants to basically turn it into its own country.
>>291624497He's also less fat and doesn't have the creepy eyes
>>291622613The bat with the attitude.
>>291622756>Me, staring at the same damned banners because jannies can't even add new ones
>Urasawa: Yeah i think the simpsons went downhill after that DOG
>>291622775THAT man!?
>>291622887A gray bat?
>>291622901Look at how cute he is.
>>291622935AUUDDDRREEEEYYYYYYY!!!!
>>291623173Look at him go!!!
>>291623032He was..... my hero
>>291623173>>291623218I don't like him and I can't tell if it's all the spoiler posts or if there really is just something off about him that I'm picking up on
This new Kevin is pretty boring
>>291623173Does he know who his dad is?
>>291627303No need to be so suspicious! Everyone is just having a laugh to throw off new readers. We all know that Timmy Sanada's Billy Bat is the real deal and he's got a heart of justice.
>>291622775Oh yeah, that guy in the middle east who hates the U.S. You know the one.
>>291622887hee hee
>>291627972Probably. Timmy's mom only died on his 1st year in college, so that's plenty of time to tell him.
urasawa is working on a new series and asadora still untranslated
>>291627325Don't worry, Timmy will be replacing him as the MC.
>>291622775>That man.You're gonna have to be more specific.>One who sees America, the American people, and anyone who follows them as enemies.You're gonna have to be more specific.>That middle-eastern man.You're gonna have to be more specific.
>>291631253You know... あの男...
>>291631253I'll give you his first name Osamu, at which point any Japanese person should know who that is
>>291622704It's funny seeing everything back to how it was when Finney was in charge, including the scroll.
>>291622726>Sanada and Sadana in the same panelIt's almost funny
>>291623098smug balloon
>>291629458Is it? It's being published here in Burgerland.
>>291622887I know he's right about this but I can't understand the train of logic. There's an important set of numbers that are pointing to a location, simpletons are always warning you about white bat and black bat therefore the location is pointing to best bat, the secret third bat. Like where is the logic in reaching this conclusion?
>>291633150They know that the bat is supposed to "grant wishes"/ rewrite history, neither black or white do that, they only tell people things and push them towards different outcomes. They believe you need the scroll to rewrite history. They look at the scroll: It's a bunch of squiggles, a treasure map , picture of a cliffside, what looks like a Mayan relief a circle and a bunch of numbers throw their hands in the air and try to decipher it. In the meantime they go to the moon and find another bat. By the time they finally figured out what the scroll means missions to the moon already stopped. Figuring out you can connect with the moon bat in another way isn't that much of a stretch honestly, since it's written on the same scroll.
>>291633150>>291633433NTA but if I recall I don't think any of this fucking went anywhere by the end of the manga
>>291633520The deciphering is probably just for the readers. Since the bat told Jackie the location in plain text. Kevin will eventually go to that location though
>>291622775>THAT manhttps://youtu.be/PR2eKkU0SAs
>>291623173sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious
>>291631443Does his reach know no bounds?
>>291633520It did, but no rewriting history takes place, since this is the only Earth left. The only thing they can change is the future and that's basically what it was always about: changing what we saw in Fuhrer's final painting. The scroll does give hints to bat's whereabouts, but in the end it's just a scroll.
won't humanity go to the moon again at some point? the bat is still there, still ready to erase the Earth at a moment's notice
>>291622704>he buyed
>>291636111Well why haven't theyIn real life I mean
>>291636862hasn't there been like 4 in total
>>291636111Were there any moon missions after Apollo 11 in the Billy Bat universe? Is this ever addressed?
>>291637310the space shuttles are briefly mentioned, so we know the space program continuedbut I don't think manned Moon missions beyond Apollo 11 and Kurusu's were ever brought up
>>291631643I wonder if the only reason Finney was replaced with Morehouse is because Urasawa noticed having the same man in the same active role during 1949 post-war Japan and a 9-11 storyline was a bit ridiculous.Sure, Finney could've been in his mid 20s in Japan, that would put him in this mid 70s now which is still plausible but he already looked and acted like an experienced agent during his first appearance so I'm sure he was supposed to be older.
Imagine working for NASA and one of your probes finds Kurusu's decaying corpse on the moon
>>291640819Considering there's no air and therefore no decomposers on the Moon I'd assume his corpse will be preserved very well (as long as the suit got punctured afterwards)
>>291640819it's not like Kurusu's mission was secretNASA could probably track it as far as lander's locationafterwards, yeah, it would be like a crime scenethe discarded CCCP flag, a lone man's footsteps across two kilometres of lunar surface, amd and that drawing
>>291625905daidai will 1 hit him
>>291641355A lot of decomposers are anaerobic and already live inside us, I think there would at least be some decay unless the sun's radiation killed them off quickly
>>291640509It did seem like a waste and rather abrupt for a long time villainous character to get replaced like that. The time skipping does complicate some things. Which also reminds me that Kevin is supposed to be in his mid to late 30s at this point.
>>291642360Goodman was born in 1960, he's already in his early 40s but looks exactly the same as when he was 20
>>291642778>>291642360Black don't crack man, what can I say?
>>291625905You can put them in bats?
>>291633821>>291634787>>291635333It's been years
>>291622775That man...!?
>>291623218Thank you for posting!
>>291622591Bump
>>291643344>It's funny how good he still looks as an old man in his final appearance and how much worse Timmy looks next to him.
>>291650796RE-ENTER
>>291651139That’s all btw
>>291650796RETURN OF THE FAT KID
>>291650796Yamashita sure has come up a long way.>>291651139REUNION WITH BEST GIRL (HAG)! That aside, I felt this chapter was a bit contrived with Yamashita being able to see the bat like that despite there being a precedent with Devivie seeing a vision.
>>291651139ok what the hell?
>>291650916RIP
Whoever impregnated Jackie is so lucky
>>291651139When she's not going anywhere, the bat's gotta bring people to her, I guess
>>291651139why is billy bat suddenly turning into an ugly bastard hentai
>>291652841It was Yamashita
>>291650742>More growthYeah!!!!!!
>>291650830>Makes it sound like a vampireSubtle
>>291650865Based
>>291651046Why is she blushing?
>>291651139Haha. The bat is losing patience with herThx buddy.
>>291651025>bat led him to his destination, including conveniently marking which option he should pick from the flight list this is on the level of videogame waypointsall it's missing is a persistent HUD element saying "[0/1] FOLLOW THE MYSTERIOUS BAT SIGNAL"
>>291653827COME ON SAVE ME DR JINI NEED YOUR FUTURE MEDICINE
>>291653827>stop reading /a/ dailies because of this trash>started reading nana>hmm maybe its not so bad, let's try this billy bat one too>
>>291655299there is no escape, Jackienow remember the numbers34.4019450806132.4519450806
>>291653845because of his BBC (big black card)
>>291655299>stop reading all dailies because of one daily you didn't likehow does that work. what goes on in your head
>>291652841I know I am.
>>291651025>Yamashita: *gruff voice* Gotta follow that bat.
>>291654587>>291656214>That damn bat is being vague again and you know what that means.>Yeah... trouble.
>>291622775This man?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzni5Pr1puA
>>291622775as the story draws closer to the modern times, the author is increasingly reluctant to use real peopleI preferred back when the manga featured alternative, magician version of Literal Jesus
>>291651139I usually hate fat ugly bastard x lonely wife stuff, but for my good man Yamashita I'll make an exception.
>>291655541fun fact: the manga began serialisation exactly 18 years ago(I cropped out the end date because total length of any manga can be considered a spoiler)
>>291651139God i love jackie
>>291657579Billy Bat is finally legal
>>291657569Hey Yamashita may be fat and ugly but he's no bastard. Well, at least by the definition of an unpleasant person.
>>291659876he's the kind of person that was born to give it all, unfailingly supporting whoever gains his admirationguy's a rock
Bump
>>291657579Was there anything to actually qualify Billy Bat as science fiction? Supernatural more like.
>>291654587Might still get lost, it need bright yellow paint.
>>291661385Another!
>>291660077>guy's a rockman's an island
Nothinburger
>>291651995>this fucking bat i swear
>>291667027they forgot the chicago one
>>291667239Cool contrast between hag and young Jackie.
>>291667300ok i kinda ship them now
>>291667341>>291667365I like how old Jackie looks so done with everything.
>>291667413o' billy scroll, grant me threesome with jackie and her daughter
The new part feels a lot more unfocused than the first half
Ovaaaaaa
>>291667491Thx senpai
>>291667300DAMN JACKIE i miss you so much
>>291667466Yeah, i think its a dlc for the first part
>>291667491>jackies daughters tiddy linebros....
f for Gawain run over by a truck
>>291667300He's inBut seriously, this is a really cute scene
>>291667124hilarious to think of America as that significant globally, insane to see all of the repercussions that came out of 9/11 globally. Especially when it was orchestrated by Kitty Bush after having a report made by a commission as to how to properly start a new world war to secure America as a global power
>>291667413STILL CUTE, any fucking hag posters can kindly KILL THEMSELVESgrow up fags, she's still best girl
>>291667327Fat man with the 'rizz
Would you a schizophrenic hag?
>>291668486no joke, jackie is one of the cutest girls ever drawn. the realistic style fits her very well
>>291667135I think what Devivie says here is closer to>Is that why you're no longer going to be a cartoonist that draws fantasy?which feels like less of a non sequituralthough honestly I don't entirely understand what Devivie is getting at
>>291667223looks like a giant heatersomething about this architecture screams old-style America
>>291667166>>291667194Hmmm. Might be something important!
>>291670423I assume he's pressing Kevin on that point about being a prophet or not and that line on the previous page about everything becoming real since Kevin was adamant about just writing interesting stories yet he's traveling around trying to figure out which two towers are going to be attacked.
>>291650796wait, what!? h-how did he?
>>291671862He lives in the area where devivie was buying land for the Billy bat theme park. That apparently still went through. And he, one of the biggest Billy fans, diligently and earnestly worked his ass off for the benefit of the park for Billys sake.
>>291671862It was a different time, all you needed was a smile and a firm handshake to climb the corporate ladder.
>>291667438Not like thatIt's "Billy Bat, Billy Bat. Billy, Billy Bat. Grant me sex with Jackie, Billy Bat"
>>291668486She's a cute hag
>>291670443yeah, its mid century built in the 60s, the WTC twin towers also had that too which you can see on the lobby walls here >>291667065 its really nice
>>291667491Thank you for posting.
>>291667270Best of both worlds.
>>291667341JACKIE BEEEEEEEEEEAMU
Jackie's daughter x Yamashita
>>291675191Cute.
>>291677171Bump
>>291670423>Kevin is almost white in the second panelTruly is he based in Michael Jackson.
>>291680516the quality of raws went to absolute shit at some point
NOOOO
OVAAAAbtw. Im banned since thursday lol, thats why i wasnt able to dump those long chapter for Nana
>>291683376Good night, Henry.
>>291683352FUCK NONot when he just became such a good guy.
>>291683203AHHH i wanna eat hag jackie home cooking tooo
>>291683476>Im banned since thursdaywhy
>>291683352NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>291683226It's just a small detail but I just remembered that the final Billy Bat segment in the final chapter mentions chopping up onions.
>>291683617And?His kill numbers are probably in the hundreds, he deserved it.
>>291683226Why is Jackie chopping onions after already cooking a meal
>>291683617He lives and gets on a plane to New York.
>>291683693Off topic
>>291683860Always be prepping your next meal. Preferably for the whole week. That way you can accurately predict what you'll eat next without the power of Billy Bat.
>>291667166>>291667194>>291683431>>291683476Hmm, I think I know where this is going.Timmy is a fraud, he doesn't speak with Billy and is just making shit up, but "they" (Morehouse's organization) need him to be a real prophet, to see if they can use him or whatever, so "they" are the ones going to make Timmy's prophecy come true and that's how the 9-11 inside-job conspiracy theories are going to get integrated into the plot.And since he's seeing the same prophecy in his dreams because they are going to succeed, Kevin is still going to believe he's the real deal.
>>291682869>Yep>It's comics time
>>291683476Goddamn it need more Nana so bad i had to come look for answers in other dailys
>>291683226It's not polite to ignore the bat!
>>291683352>>291683376>Read comic in America>Get shot
>>291683476Wouldn't be a Gawain daily without at least one ban.
>>291683178That first panel makes him look like Tenma and Johan had a baby
>>291686938Looks like Japanified Nicholas Cage.
>>291686938So he's Tenma and Nina's child
>>291682869He is so friend, I love DevivieHow do you even pronounce his name though>deh veevee>de vy vee>the vive
>>291684670>not letting Billy pick which dumpster you should dive into
>>291687563デヴィヴィエ is "De-vi-vi-e"although note that the Japanese famously mangle all foreign words, so the "canon", American pronunciation might be differentjust like Smith is Smith and not Sumisu
>>291688069>that little eh at the endWhat the fuck manOk so it's probaby De vi vi? I've never heard that name before>just like Smith is Smith and not SumisuSumisu ando Wessohn...
>>291683226>>291683801I wonder if there's a meaning in this, or it's just a quirk.
>>291688719Did the bats tell him to gas the jews
>>291688719lolboth black and white are into it
>>291688719>inside you there are two bats>one says: it never happened>the other says: they deserved it>both are right
>>291683203Wait till she checks his bank account
I really dislike Urasawa's penchant for Scooby Doo gangs.
>>291689934I'm leaning to the latter for that. Some things probably just end up being easter eggs rather than full blown 4d galaxy brain foreshadowing.
>>291688719kek
>>291685449>Timmy is a fraudjust like daddy
>>291688719DAS BATTËN ZAT I HATE
>>291667239>>291667263Finally! Young Jackie is back.
>>291668486Cute old woman
>>291668486>>291670361how about everyone who fawns over a picture as if it's a person kill themselveslet us imagine such a wondrous world
>>291695390how about you kill yourself you faggot fuck, where the fuck do you think you are?it's even more pathetic to be morally grandstanding on fucking 4chan, YOU'RE PATHETIC BRO YOU'RE HEREtruly embarrassing
>>291695390>as if it's a personif she were a person I wouldn't be fawning over her
>>291695664>morally grandstandingkekI'm not fighting for respect for picturesI'm pointing out that what you're doing is terminally stupid, and more importantly, common, boring and repetitive I believe the phrase is "peak normalfag"you're a white noise generator
>>291695762so were you an adult or child when you formally got diagnosed with autism? it's key to this whole shitfit you're throwing
>>291668486hag is praise as it is the highest grade of a woman
lol, lmao
