MA'!
>>292103446He was already a piece of shit before that incident. So forgetting it wouldn't change that.
>>292103491Kid learned from the best
KAMI-SAMA!!!
>>292103491HIROGARU YAMI NO NAKA KAWASHIATTA KAKUMEI NO CHIGIRI
>>292103559Now he's going to an hero. Not that that's much different from what Akuta had asked of him. He better not go for a murder suicide.
>>292103574The fucking feather lmao
>>292103529>>292103543>>292103559Not satisfying. I wanted him dead, not just dead inside.
FINENTER: A new shotaPotential L? Do you agree with the father's ending?
>>292103623This was sort of what I expected for the dad. Although I was thinking Kasuga would find something to actually fix the father, since we didn't know yet that he had always been awful. I think there's a decent chance it backfires eventually.New shota is definitely L.
>>292103146>no fear of being caught by law enforcementi wonder how it affects people who dont know the person in the first place.people who know reject the inconsistencies and just dont think about it. but what about people just following what the computas and documents say.for an adult it might take a few years for government to notice, but the first girl might cause some investigation soon
>>292103759I think it'd be the same for them. Anyone whose attention was drawn to the pitted person in a document or database or something would get that distressed compulsion to remove them or throw out whatever it is that referenced them.
>>292103667>>292103476True but he is still testing the pit Deep inside, besides maybe the new parents would be worse. It's an improvement for him to stop beating the kid and just go back fishing>New shota is definitely LYep, gotta call him J kekHim having a little sister already makes me fear the worst
>>292103274Let's be real there's a lot of guys like that
>>292103491>>292103574He is so small but his ego is so BIG
>>292103623Uh I wonder if I got it wrong and it's not a shota but a loli
>>292103998A sickly little sister, no less. She gonna get thrown in the hole 100%, but new kid will see it happen and remember her while their parents forget.
>>292103230>kid learning something from google ai generated responseThis shit is grim man, I was talking to a friend who's a teacher and he said that all of the kids he teaches use Ai to for everything. They are completely lost when they take it away from them.
>>292104653That's google and he is still too small to understand suicide
>>292103124I chuckled. This manga is truly a comedy.
>>292103623Thanks for the dump. I guess this is the best end they could have gone for. I don't see a good way to fix the dad. >>292103574mindbroken shotas>>292104406I could see a reverse trap. Let's hope not.
>>292104406>>292104743That character looks 100% boy to me.
>>292104800Yeah that's why "trap" and the name is "Jo". >>292104653Get with the times grandpa.
>>292103230This is a good scene.>>292104653Has the right idea about it.
>>292103383Ever the murderer kid was stunned by that story.
>>292105013>maybe we should throw him in the hole after all
>>292104800Jo = Joseline
>>292105680Or Jotaro.
>>292104653Twist: the pit can't fool grokGOD
After reading the first 3 chapters I'd say it feels like preschool death note. They even got baby light speedrunning his first god complex with all of his goofy faces. Looking forward to where it goes from here but kinda on the fence
>>292103623
I wonder what would happen if he threw only part of the ashes in the pithe should experiment more before adding new characters
>cured his mother's hoarding>got a shitty father to stop beating his kidHe may not go about it in a nice way, but so far he is doing good deeds.
>>292103230>Claude, tell me how do I lead a grown man to a death pit of doom&oblivion if I am a small kid myself. In uhhh minecraft
>>292103623Enter meitantei autism kid.
>>292107312That's good to hear!
>>292104620He probably will remember thanks to her medicines or something
>>292103274I see we're just going to make this as exaggerated as possible. At least his arc is done if he doesnt kill himself.
>>292107789You should watch asian dramas, they are that over the top, and this is some kind of village so
>>292104620Why would Kasuga have any reason to toss her in the pit?
>>292103667Its pretty fucked up, even in death his mother was an object used to "punish" the father by having the one time her family stood up for her when it was too late be forgotten and having her own child help throw her ashes and the rest of her family's into the pit.
>>292107840L got too close
>>292107964I don't see how pitting his sister would help with that.
>>292104653>using google 20 years ago was le epic awesomesauce>using google ai now is heckin poison to the mind despite them being the same thing
>>292108385he should've just asked the granny what it meant, old people are the most based and trad source of information
>>292108385>using google 20 years ago was le epic awesomesauceNo one has ever thought this.
>>292104724child abuse made you laugh? sicko
>>292104724>>292106949
>>292103491Kasuga? More like SAKUGA
>>292103230>>292104653In the raw it was obviously a dictionary site. I hate trannyboostlators. It also obviously doesn't how the first main meaning.
>>292103124>>292103134Poor autistic shotaI want to adopt him
>>292109710lmao they even added the shitty disclaimer at the bottom
>>292103240>Don't come to my house, we are not friendsAtsumu needs some correction for being so mean to the stinky boy
>>292103350>>292103370top kek
>>292103491This manga has some really great faces
>>292103543>and other family memberswill this backfire in some way?
>>292103623Even more shotas!
>>292103827>Anyone whose attention was drawn to the pitted person in a document or database or something would get that distressed compulsion to remove them or throw out whatever it is that referenced them.and that's why our mc doesn't have a siblingmom clearly regretted using the pit hence she kept the clothes. dumb kid made her mother forget. kek>>292106458>Twist: the pit can't fool grokGODthat would be a legit twist>since when were you under the impression that grokGod wasn't watching you?
>>292107956no one forgot her, they just forgot the ashes incident
>>292110925>mom clearly regretted using the pit hence she kept the clothes.don't think throwing away clothes is enough to make her forget she gave birthnot sure anything less than throwing the actual person would be enough
Throwing oneself into the holeEverything will be restored except for the MCCould there be any other ending?
>>292103623it's conan kun
>>292103623every Light needs and L
Aren't their reactions to the removed people kind of odd?If I suddenly saw someone in my own family portrait who I had no recollection of I might get a schizo breakdown or paranoia but I wouldn't just cross over their face with a marker.Is this some kind of hint regarding the true nature of the pit?
>>292111647>Everything will be restored except for the MCThat was already addressed. It doesn't actually change the world, merely people's memory. Akuta's scar didn't go away when the cause of the beatings was forgotten. So even if Kasuga jumped in the whole, everything else he threw in would still be gone. And likely the memories of them too.
>>292106949Im scared
>>292109710Wow that's quite a strange liberty to take. I'm guessing it's because the old woman used a word in Japanese a child wouldn't know, but the closest thing in English was to use a full phrase which wouldn't necessarily be found in a dictionary
>shoot someone>throw gun into pit>they go to the hospitalThe wound would still be there and the victim would not remember being shot, but do you think they'd somehow ignore the wound too?
>>292111461I meant that the moment her family admitted to their neglect and beat the shit out of him for her and the later dignity given to her ashes is now forgotten/desecrated.
>>292112572I don't think they'd ignore the wound. But the victim would probably end up getting arrested when the doctors ask them why they have a gunshot wound and they give them that panicked look and claim they don't know.
>>292112128>Is this some kind of hint regarding the true nature of the pit?Yes
>>292110382That's a girl
>>292113653Into the pit she goes then
>>292113653Why does everyone think that's a girl?
>>292115380>everyone
>>292115380>Jo>Those eyes
>>292103485Shouldn't that have a ton of knock-on effects? From other people in his family being forgotten. Like you suddenly don't remember your own parents anymore, just where did you come from?
>>292116321It doesn't make them forget the whole person, just the events surrounding the cremation. The remains are treated as merely an object, rather as the person themself, similar to the photos.It could still have some unintended effects. The mother's family won't remember that they ever confronted the dad over his behavior. And if anything important happened in relation to the cremation of any of those other remains, that would be lost too.
>>292112605oh rightwell that memory is honestly worthless if its only result is the dad taking out his anger onto Akuta and the mom would probably rather the memory be erasedthen again she did leave Akuta in the hands of an awful person so who knows how much she really cared about him
>>292104019But usually they get a new woman instead of rotting all day in the house.
>>292103330>>292103350>>292103370lol at this dumbass stomping him out must've been cathartic for the family
>>292116612He did NOTHING wrongHe loved his wife too muchHe didn't want his wife to be a wageslave
>>292103491Autistic kid is going to lose his mind from psychological damage before this manga ends.
>>292116634He is basically Misa Misa and Mikami combined
>>292103265How did she die? She burned herself? Why kill yourself in the most painful way? There has to be something more, if she killed herself she would have hanged, cut her wrists or OD but this? How the fuck can you assume SUICIDE from this???
>>292112605>>292116550The family is still shitty for not taking away Akuta. The daughter is dead, so the best way to salvage the situation was to take her son (Dad wasn't going to fight since he's drunk all day). Instead though they beat the dad's ass and walked away thinking they avenged mom. The beatdown didn't do shit but make them feel good so MC taking the memory away isn't a loss.
>>292116676She was cremated, anon. The suicide part comes from the husband's mother >>292103219
>>292116740That's the thing, families are there for the bad never for the good. Giving a beating to that man was fun but taking care of a poor child? That's a NO
>>292109710I've said it once I'll say it a million times more, localisers experience an unparalleled sexual rush whenever they push through a baffling localisation.
You could say the husband had a BONER
>>292103230>>292109710It's easy to hate on the translator but it's not so easy to come up with a better way to handle this. What would you have done instead of this?
>>292117161Come with me, I wanna show you something
>>292103118Didn't know it was out thank you anon. Reading 2 first though.
>>292117396Who are you talking to
>>292103350I wish someone loved me this much
>>292117165Honestly? Keep 自決 (romanized) and translate the dictionary entries, make a note of it. There's better ways without being a weeb, use a thesaurus or look for euphemisms for suicide, preferably archaic. Then just copypaste the dictionary. Kid doesn't know archaic or euphemistic usage, makes perfect sense.Point being that it's both made-up and a kid would very much understand what "taking matters into one's own hands" means, in the usual sense. So him, a clever one even, looking it up makes him actually look retarded.
>>292118681He is still a toddler, he probably didn't even understand the idea of suicide
>>292103623Thank you for posting, OP.
>>292103118I hate this shota, his smug aura mocks me.
>>292120378That's because you know you are inferior to a GOD, insect.
>>292103667>since we didn't know yet that he had always been awful.Did you read the manga, he was always an abusive psycho but he could at least go and be the breadwinner before the mom killed herself all they did was put the breadwinner part back into his personality, he's still gonna beat his son just half as much
>>292120552we're not sure about that yet, there's a chance he just gets depressed and attempts to fix their liveshe could also just "go check on the boat" and never come back
Interesting that mangaka bothers to make the MC look up how the erasure works instead of just calling it a timeline divergence. Judging by the behavior of Chisato's mother it seems more like subconscious forced brainwashing than magic. She was actively erasing her daughter from the photo and looked psychotic doing it instead of wondering who that might be, as if still knew her deep down and just chooses to ignore it to avoid pain.
>>292104653It's absurd how most normalfags I knew never learned to google but they instantly understood AI and got addicted to it. It goes so far that I wouldn't wonder if online discussions died out for good because the majority prefers to talk to AI, I witnessed this with some loose friends even. It's not just a zoomer issue.
>>292117165To be honest I don't think it's too bad because they use the common term for suicide in the original (jisatsu) and I surely knew what suicide was when I was 8 or so, so being puzzled over an idiom makes more sense because it's not something that kids are exposed to yet. Especially for MC who seems educated otherwise.
>>292103274This is a bit comical and the guy I knew was a good person but I legit knew an old man who killed himself after the death of his wife and one of the main reasons was that he was absolutely incapable of doing household chores or even know how to start the washing machine. Old women usually suck at handicraft and can't plug in their TV, but those are skills that you need less often and there is usually a young person around that will do it for them. Meanwhile, nobody is willing to wash someone else's clothes or cook for them every day. I have only seen this with old people though. As retarded as young people can be, they at least mastered the most basic skills to be able to survive on their own whereas old ones married the second they left their home so they never bothered to learn what their spouse can do.
>draw a manga about the void from amazing world of gumball but it's all dark and evil and twisted and psychoticFor what purpose?
>>292121667>I have only seen this with old people though.Loneliness. After a certain age your social circle gets smaller and smaller. Then the wife of 50+ years dies, and you're all alone. An old man in his right mind can figure out how to do that stuff, but there's no point when there's nothing to look forward to until you grow so weak that unless you die beforehand you will become a problem that someone has to "handle". At least old people are retired. Akuta's dad is extra retarded because you can't neet on an unstable income.
>>292121667Love is hard
>>292103118Ty op
>>292121447Says a lot about our society.
>>292121667>>292122203Sometimes it's not loneliness and they are just a shitty person. Akuta's dad reminds me of the guy my grandma married after my grandpa died. He wasn't physically abusive, you actually go to jail for that here. But he was a mean and useless bastard. When my grandma died he couldn't manage even the most basic hygiene on his own. Like underwear caked in dried shit type stuff.The only part of Akuta's dad that feels exaggerated and unrealistic to me is his outburst at the funeral. But that could be a cultural thing.
I'm just waiting for Kasuga to get his comeuppance.
>>292122203>After a certain age your social circle gets smaller and smallerThat age was 25 for me. Though it's generally hard to impossible to keep friendships (let alone making new ones) past a certain age. Even if they don't have families it seems like full-time jobs erase everybody's soul, so even if you are still friends with others the spark is gone and all you do is talking about the news or some shit when while you drink something in a bar. I know more people of 75+ years who are motivated enough to things and have hobbies than anybody between 25 and 60.
>>292116250>This is a girl according to /a/
>>292126091The choker and the earring mean that he is a boy. Everyone knows that.
>>292126091>>292126431The shota squad is all here
>>292125981Old people really never shared knowledge or experience
>>292126991We've been pretty blessed lately.
>>292104653before AI existed this was just looking up/asking stuff on Yahoo! Answers
>>292103623needs more cute boysand a sort of non-retarded athletic kind would be nice too
>>292125417hopefully it won't be at Akuta's expense...
>>292129051That happens first at the start of the downward spiral.
>>292126991always
Drop people into the hole: You can pull off the perfect crime, but setting it up is difficult.Drop objects into the hole: Manipulation of past memories—the situations where this is effective are limited.It’s a superpower that really puts the author’s writing skills to the test, so to speak.
I think this whole thing is eventually gonna end up with the MC dropping himself into the hole and undoing everything.
>>292130465That wouldn't undo everything. It would just make people forget him.
