Why did Kevin wrote a racist japanese caricature?
>>
>>292085235
Racist? Look at the old japanese paintings. Only asian americans find that stuff offensive since they're raised in a society that values censorship over artistic expression.

das rite brotha das rite
>>
>>292085235
he's half nip himself, so it's not racist, it's insightful
>>
>>292085574
I don't think he's supposed to be half, he's probably one of the nisei who joined the military both to get out of the internment camps and to prove that just because they were racially Japanese doesn't mean they aren't Americans. We never see Kevin Yamagata's mother but it's safe to assume she was a first generation Japanese immigrant like Kevin's father was.

Wait a minute. When you isolate it to just his face, Pontaro's face is reminiscent of the Bat's smug mug. Am I crazy?

No.
>>
>>292081518
The real power of Fuji Pontaro lies in that ambiguity. Though he simply says "domo domo" the reader can project all sorts of intentions and arguments into that phrase. When he says "domo domo" you are confronted with a mirror that reflects what you need to hear from yourself. The racist caricature, initially a symbol of division and hostility, thus becomes a place of unity and shared meaning where we can all understand and feel understood within his catchphrase. This is why Kevin Yamagata's hidden masterpiece Fuji Pontaro mogs Timmy Sanada's Billy Bat which preaches a message of unity but at its core is a crude promotion of the military industrial complex and violence.

Return of the king! The myth, the legend, the moon man! Since it's now 2017 Maggie must be in her 30's. The trip to Basque was in 2002 and she looked college aged back then. I assume she's in grad school. Meanwhile Kevin is in his mid 50's? A little scruffier but still looking pretty much the same.

they knew what they were doing.

the book Yamagata left, essentially told them 'if you try to go to the cave now, you WILL DIE!'

in fact, they knew Moorehouse was tailing them, so they deliberately left the book there so he goes to the cave and gets killed by the cave bat.

>>292114485
I just realized Timmy has been drawing Billy for 16 years at this point. I bet war stories in the Middle East would be a fairly easy topic to fake predictions. All Timmy would have to do is show some terrorists getting blown up and allude to a fight over natural resources (like those water sources his company happens to acquiring) and all the news outlets would eat it up.
>>
>>292115396
I like to imagine that in this universe, it's Timmy getting kinda bored and tossing in a more fantastic story to shake things up for a couple weeks is what led to the conspiracy theory that soldiers found a nephilim/annunaki in a hidden tomb in iraq

>>292113976
I think it's an admission of what the people want and how the times have changed. Authors/artists do care about people seeing their work and regardless of what they think of the comic itself you cannot deny that it is influential.
When I first read BB I thought Urasawa is taking a negative stance on heavily commecialized works like Culkin's BB but rereading now I can see that he is more neutral in his approach. I appreciate the way he is balancing his views on the matter.
>>
>>292113976
It's brought up several times, and reiterated in the upcoming end of this arc, that there's no denying the "fake" Billy genuinely put a smile on countless people's faces and helped them get through some tough periods in history, and there's artistic merit in that regardless of fake caulkin's malicious intentions

Seriously two of my grandparents got Alzheimer's but one kept deteriorating for 15 years and one was lucky to die young. It has to be one of the worst ways to go out where you can't even recognize your children. Pathways in your brain start corroding away and you lose a little that makes you you everyday.

I mean I can see it if I specifically look for it
but I can't shake the feeling that you have to be actively helping the narrative by putting your own effort into assembling the pieces in your head so it all becomes coherent
I know that's technically how all storytelling works, but hopefully you see what I mean
those are just events, it's the author's job to make them into a story

and more importantly, it has nothing to do with Billy's freakouts
he has next to no impact on the events
which I guess is justified by the plot, but again, narratively unsatisfying
>>
>>292150164
Understandable reaction
>>
>>292153864
I get what you mean and think it's part of the reason why everything after the 9/11 arc loses steam compared to previous arcs. Billy is extremely nerfed now and you don't get the crazy tapestry of conspiracy threads like before. I suspect this is in part due to this being set in the future so no more big real life conspiracies or events to research as a base which does line up with what ends up being the overall theme in the last stretch of "the future is unwritten and it's up to you to choose how you want it to go." But I agree that it's unsatisfying compared to what was a big appeal of the manga before.

I really enjoyed it until after 9/11. Since then it hasn't been that great.

>>
>>292157238
no, there is a definite dip in quality
previously the manga juggled various time periods and story threads with ease, never confusing the reader
now we continuously jump back and forth and it's often hard to tell when and where we are
the events are much more compressed, too, with fewer establishing shots and many forward skips

I'm sad this will never get anime adaptation.

Disney did have a daughter, whose husband took over the company after Walt, and he was eventually ousted, so I assume Audrey's story is partly inspired by that.

He'd make Billy Bat themed levels in Roblox with associated vlogs that have a full Alternate Reality game attached, like some Marble Hornets shit

okay, I just checked in Blender, and you're right, no need to be such an ass about it though
>>
>>292173776
no u

>>292173906
got you to engage, so it worked
also lol at "checked in blender", it's simple perspective not astrophysics, why do you need a computer

Just as a rule when you look up things appear to "move down." If you turn your head to the side things appear to move in the other direction.
>>
>>292173954
it's not simple perspective, because when I tilt my head, either my eyes or my brain automatically rotates it in my mind right up ahead, so everything looks like as if I were standing straight up. Only when I'm close to 180° I can recognize that things are upside down.
>astrophysics
>Astrophysics is a science that applies the methods and principles of physics and chemistry in the study of astronomical objects and phenomena including the universe
what does that have to do with anything in this discussion?
>why do you need a computer
so I can have actual evidence instead of just "trust me bro, when thinks turn left, things look turned right"
>>
>>292174022
I would have preferred to get a full response the first time around
but that has proven too much to ask

>>292174109
How entitled

>what does that have to do with anything in this discussion?
it's called hyperbole anon
>so I can have actual evidence instead of just "trust me bro, when thinks turn left, things look turned right"
I don't think a diagram constitutes evidence, but hey, I'm not going to be picky about semantics
I do genuinely appreciate you putting in the effort to think about the problem, so thank you for that

which one of the myriad happenings this year was caused by the bat...?
>>
>>292167463
He is indeed a good man!
>>
>>292168888
CHECKED
He doesn't have many options left anymore. Can't afford acting cheeky.

Could be that she's swaying before falling.

Urusawa should do a billy bat sequel with covid

The sideway panel is very creative

Alright.

>>292157238
Not sure what foreshadowing I'm supposed to expect, but just looking at the arcs for their self-contained writing, early stuff like the taxi driver, ninjas, and Lee Harvey Oswald was pure mastery of storytelling and far more compelling than what's going on now, and that's not even getting into how perfectly they were woven together into the main plot.

>>292156523
I think it fell off after the moon wish. that scene with the cave man was the high point to me.
>>
>>292166877
Hey wait a minute...
>>
>>292163455
At some point, we started reading the black manga instead of the white one.
>>
>>292156523
I've only read Billy Bat and Pluto from Urasawa but I'm getting the impression he's great at establishing and setting up a mystery and not the greatest at resolving them. I'll probably have to read more of his stuff though.
>>
>>292068024
Yeah, I kinda lost interest after Goodman takes over. He's just so boring as a protagonist.
>>
>>292182709
It's also a problem in 20th Century Boys
It wasn't one in Monster tho

I’m working a double shift today. See you tonight.

>Gawan
You planned this

>>292167746
Impressive thing to notice. The hyper-specific thing I notice is just when the toes are drawn wrong leading to two right/left feet.
>>
>>292187512
thanks
it felt instinctively wrong, which led me to analyse it in detail

>when the toes are drawn wrong leading to two right/left feet
oh boy
there was this one otherwise excellent artist which had done this constantly
so often that it had to be deliberate
I would post a pic but danbooru is down

Gelbooru isn't

Bat got the OP...

I'm gonna take a guess that you're talking about Tony Taka
