I jobbed...
OP, dump the spin off tomorrow. There’s a lot to discuss with these final chapters so give us some breathing room. Also, I want the story time to continue just for a little longer
>>292164919They were the beest of friends
>>292164929I will the first post is just for drama
>>292164919This sounds like the beginning of a love story
Hi, sorry to do as the thread starts but I'm permabanned and can't wait long enough before making this post.Thanks for "getting the timing right" and starting Usogui at a time I was checking /a/. Hardly anyone does good storytimes anymore (besides single-chapter dailies of trash like Nard) and not at a reasonable rate either. Semi-volume dailies was okay. I wish Sako would stop being autistic and let a publisher license this so the early garbage translation can fall into deserved obscurity.And on that note, I won't be reading the Baki threads until however-many months it takes to get to Pickle or Musashi. We all know about the huezilian bus driver who committed a crime against humanity by making up a ton of shit for his non-translation, and the retarded weebs who enabled him instead of telling him to kill himself. I would be too angry to read that shit (which is why I recommend people watch the Baki animes instead). 2bh Jack, I think you'd be better off using generative AI tools to redo the pertinent volumes you're looking to dump.Okay, thanks for reading my blog. Usogui was pretty great to read for the first time.
In hindsight, it should’ve been obvious Baku went to the meeting place and discovered everything about Hal considering in the bookstore arc he already knew where he would be and won the prince bee from Hal the first time.
>>292164992Baku can't believe his luck
>>292165030Baku enters an abandoned building
>>292164965You're welcome i had a lot of fun for this dump.BUT ITS STILL NOT FINISHED!
Remember the dream sequences here
>>292165069I love that Baku just geniuenly likes the book.
>>292165069Baku nerding out over this is cute
>>292165086>top middle panelDaiba?
Been a wild ride lads, if you're a first timer I envy you
>>292164965I already said it, there will be NO wildfag!
So does current Hal still suffer from memory loss? Does he remember Baku and everything he’s been through up to StL?
>>292165173a big liar, one might say
>>292164876Farewell OP. Thanks for reading and sharing my favorite manga with a new number of anons, as well as reminding me on why I fell in love with this manga in the first place. I hope you enjoyed yourself.P.S. When you posted that you wanted a gamble that involves Poker it took everything that I had not to reply with the riddler "Does he know" image
>>292165173Still wild to think Baku was aiming to go against Tatsuki
>>292165173HE LIEEEED TO ME!
>>292165069>baku geeking outi love him so much
This cements the bookstore gamble as the most important bet and event in the series>allowed Baku to win prince bee and figure out Souichi’s weakness which helped him win StL >also ended up gaining a friend and ally
>>292165257a friendly grandpa who illustrates childrens books

>>292165257what's an Arcanum character doing in my gambling manga?
>>292165208Happy you enjoyed it but we're not finished!The Side story will be dumped as well>I hope you enjoyed yourself.OH YES I DIDAnd the poker gamble did not dissapoint!
>>292164954>time to bleed?Baku is a woman?!
>>292165296So this is before she met Tatsuki and had a baby?
>>292165354>Eko suddenly starts talking a lot like ManabeAnimal facts...?Strong?
>>292165398>to become stronger, a person has to fight foes stronger than themselvesImportant line
>>292165423Manabe gambles will just be Trivia Pursuit with only animal facts.
When it was revealed that this whole thing was just Bakus dream as Eba kills him I kinda didn't like it.
>>292165451No wonder Tatsuki liked Manabe that much, he reminded him of Eko>Honey, did you know that tapirs have some of the biggest penis to body size ratio among animals on earth>They also have pseudo prehensile penises>I thought that was interesting
>>292165484AIEEEEE
>>292165484>my running skillsBaku you’re weak as fuck
>>292165484>with my running skillsThis takes place after the bookstore gamble, we saw that Baku fucking sucks at running.
>>292165530THE TRUE HERO OF THIS STORYTHANK MR. RAT FOR HIS SACRIFICE!
>>292165484>i should be able to make it with my running ski- ACK!
OHHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT THE BLOOD
>>292165354>blind>echolocation powers>weird religious figureWtf, she's Daredevil
>>292165556It was hidden in plain sight. What more can you say, no other manga does foreshadowing, build up and payoffs better than Usogui. The fact that it was weekly and over 500 chapters make it all the more impressive. Everything is so intricate, this shit was 200 chapters ago and before that Leader’s amnesia was hinted at in the first 2 arcs
>>292165530Aren't you going pick up your knife, old man?
There's no point in comparing the manga to itself. Each arc presents a different experience, with its own unique high points. I'm glad the manga developed in this way instead of repeating the same formula for 500 chapters.
>>292165556So what’s Baku feeling here?
>>292165620>I can’t resistCould be Baku's motto desu.
>>292165640Betrayal
>>292165657reminds me of that heinous criminal...
>>292165657Kaji: "I like this guy"
>>292165677JUSTICE!
>>292165657Baku, you don't get to say that when one of your besties is fucking Kaji
>>292164876SHINE ON YOU MIGHTY GAMBLERSI'll miss you anons
OP, do you think you would have caught on all the clues without duwang, I wouldn’t have first time I read it
>>292165726Maybe on the reread but first one no i do have some stuff from past chapters in my head but not everything
>>292165759Quick OP, do you know what a vice fund is?
>>292165130I like that Usogui (young) looks like Hal (young) occasionally
>>292165759raping baku's twink asshole
>>292165774I DONT KNOW!MAYBE SOME FUND????
Reminder, Baku is 3-1 against Hal
>>292165173>Baku reads about Hal's memory loss>Baku immediately sees his real identity and schizos out hard over a "lie" Hal didn't have much control overWas it autism?
>>292165806Lying is badt. Baku
>>292165556What does the blood mean again?
>>292165820that's an.. interesting looking car
>>292165640Probably wondering how much he's exactly forgotten and how much he's lying to him about.
>>292165820>Taka-san, did you know mandrils actually really hate lions and will brutally kill lion cubs if given the chance?
>>292165864America prepares SCUD missiles for you...China prepares honeypot wives for you...
>>292165640>Impressed at a lie he couldn't see through>Betrayal>Fear for his life>Gambling boner deluxe edition>Mortification>PlanningYou can really read a lot into it
>>292164956A romantic story like none that has come before!
>>292165843Pet peeve but It still bothers me how everyone from that mountain meeting ended up mattering except the 4th dude>Hachina(obviously)>Gakt>this journalist
>>292165633So why did Baku allow this guy to slot Lalo's diamond into his socket?
>>292165922That's after they've got the contents, it really doesn't matter to him at this point.
>>292165733ToK Baku unironically looks so handsome, only Air Poker Baku comes close. Genuinely looks like a chad in any shot that isn't from 5 miles away
>>292165925This is like the L file, it’s very convenient all info was stored in one device. I’ll let it slide though, since only through Lalo’s death could it be opened
>>292165964The famous hacker noface!
>>292165964Hackerknownas4chanbros...Vincent Lalo was actually moot?
>>292165955Go look at his jawline in that hangman double spread
>>292165984>Lalo would have dominated the criminal underworld completely if he wonHot damn, he started with the hardest opponent for Ideal.
>>292165963It's perfectly in line with how Lalo operated, he was extremely secretive and only a few people even knew his face, it makes sense that someone like him would keep all his info on just one device
>>292166003>Kekarou was just so good Lalo couldn't even find an inTo be fair, it took Baku a couple of years and some damn fine luck
>>292165173>rookie level baku thought going against mega tatsukibrave but stupidyou could call this creature a true goombler
>>292166036Simba...is a big liar
>>292166061Man, this guy even talks like a Jojo character
>>292166035They were actually doing really well in a short amount of time, having two guys with memberships under Ideal within moments.Actually, Fukurou too, so three.
>>292166077Do yo~u thi~nk he lo~ves pa~ncakes?
RE-ENTERRRRRRRRRRRR THE ANNOUNCER FROM HELL I know he's a murderer but fuck im happy he's back!
>>292166086>it was just the jews againYeah I would be bored too
>>292165354The fish showed up during Souichi's POV. 3rd or 4th round?
>>292166103EEEXCELLENT
>>292165733The absurdly early foreshadowing and ample in-your-face preparation is what hard carries Leap Second into sticking the landing.It's like the reverse of the Nika reveal in One Piece, there's just too many receipts Sako can throw around to demonstrate how deliberate he was for years in order to reach that specific moment. You just end up respecting it.
>>292166101Without a doubt, he's an American afterall
>>292166128Bit odd that the arms industry is included but not the sex industry
>>292166103Still cool Karl and Kaji are happy to see each other, they’re trauma bros for life after the bull’s womb
>>292166103Did Karl pay his plastic surgeon too little, or too much?
Incidentally, the rise of green investing sometimes gives a nice discount for investing in vice industries as they become relatively undervalued, raising yields.Well, not that much currently, but about eight years or so ago you could have made some gains based on such a contra-strategy.
>Karl, Floyd, Kaji This would be such a fun trio
>>292165640>>292165556Another good question would how Hal is feeling. Imo Hal is offering Baku a way out, meanwhile Baku isn't accepting it and he's saving Leader's flaw in his "secret exploitable facts" mental folder.
>>292165657colonel diamond eye>rape is justice!kaji>can i join?
Where is Marco, did he get demoted to babysitting Hal while Baku takes Yakou B and Mizue with him? Kek
>>292166214Who?
>>292166214...who?
>>292165901D-do diamonds really store DNA?
>>292166227They don't, that's just Sako broscience
>An international clique is manipulating events to further their own evil plansOkay that's just TOO unrealistic Sako, no one will ever believe it. What's next, rape islands? Haha, good one.
>>292166244>What's next, rape islands?...Kaji was on Protoporos, anon
>>292165806Especially since Baku is hiding something as well.
>>292166260OH MY GOD
>>292166196Honestly, if it came down to Kaji's circle vs Baku's circle for a future StL, 100% Kaji's side would be way more fun. Kado on top of those 3 is hell of a car crash to ride into the side of Baku. Ultimate planning vs Ultimate schizophrenia. All Kaji really needs is more muscle, but he has the guy from KY Declaration for that, right!(Jokes aside, Kaji winning Marco over by showing true kindness instead of charming would be very sweet. )
>>292166260Ironically he got raped by Miss buckingham
>>292166292>Baku (El esqueleto)
>>292166103>Carl>CNot my Karl
>>292166227Don't check your mother's wedding ring.
>>292166190>shootings with lots of deaths are actually profitable to vice investors in Americamakes too much sense really.
All these orgs taking part in games with the premier gambling organisation is funny
>>292166373Most likely they have their own schemes and ideas on how to win despite the gamble, which is then thwarted by Baku. We're just seeing the sped-up version here.
>>292165964Hacker group Noface? Sound like a collective of people who don't want to be known. Some kind of anonymous, eh.
>>292166387Marco bros I thought Baku wasn't a bad guy?
>>292166387First time readers, do you remember what Baku said when Yakou asked him what he would do if he acquired Kakerou in the first arc. This your payoff 500 chapters later
>>292166387Eko's schizo rambling really did set the entire manga into motion, huh?
>>292166409Very nice. I like it
>>292166387WORLD PEACEORLDPEAC E
>>292166387Wait a minute, this tape was meant for Souichi so Baku basically stole his "destiny". Or rather, they have the same destiny and that’s one reason why Baku wants Hal as an ally
>>292166307Holy bald
>>292166450This is the same mantis that chased the rival bee(baku) mentioned in the bookstore arc btw
A NEW ENTER SO LATE IN THE MANGA???
>>292166468Billy...you're alive! And Lalo!
>>292166468ENTERTHE DOCTOR
>>292166387Baku wasn’t lying when he said he wanted world peace
>>292166387wtf it really was world peace? kek
>>292166485t...thanks doc?
>>292166234((((Those people))))
>>292166512me on the top left
>>292166025>>292166036I think Sako really didn't like Disney's Lion King.
>>292166485Kinda want to do this with my two husbandos desu. I won't have to pick one then.
What the hell is happening?
>>292166581Baku...lost
>>292166128>>292166151Yeah, should have been weapons, gambling, drugs and sex.
>>292166581>thanks to you your life is going great Does this line make many sense?
>>292166468ENTER THE MANTIS
>>292166599It will make sense in a minute
OHHH SHITTTTT SAKOOOO
>>292164876It's been a long ride friends, what a great manga
>>292166387WORLD PEACE.I finally get to join other anons and say "my favorite page in the entire manga".
This whole thing feels really unnecessary. Just pointless sequel baiting.
Ok, the dialogue in this chapter is a bit confusing. Abi Khan says he and Baku made a bet waging their bodies but he was the one who did the transplant so he couldn’t have been the one betting his body. Is it just a translation issue? Are Abi khan and this mystery guy allies?
>>292165620he forgot the eyepatch
>>292166644HE KNEELS
>>292166651There was never going to be sequel, it’s an obvious the "adventure continues" type ending. Sako has never even hinted a sequel
>>292166666Ultra mega satan... why did you do this?
>>292166646Very nice i like it
>>292166703>right panelThey framed a drawing or photo of Marco, Hal, and Nobuko
!!!!!
>>292166716FUAAAAAAAAAAAARKKKKKKKKKK
>>292166716We're back
>>292166716Holy fuark... I.. kneeled...
>>292166716Aura
>>292166220>there is a conspiracy behind a conspiracy!brb, getting liar game ptsd
>>292166732life...is like a goomble...
>>292166234Sako knows too much, dispatch the Axman!
A gambler who keeps on winning doesnt exist after all...
>>292165984imagine being the spy chosen to be sent in fucking UgandaI hope Lalo paid well at least
>>292166732>>292166756KINOKINOKINOKINOKINO
>>292165069>Baku corrects himself from geezer to master (or well, sensei in nip i guess)Cute
THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE WEEKLY DRAWN MANGA
>>292166387>suddenly kageaki
>>292166716DESTINY CAN NOT BE DEFEATED
>>292166792ONE LAST RIDE
>>292166485Do you think he also cut, uhh, you know, down there...?
>>292166387>socialism with gambling characteristic
>>292166252>Floyd-san, that "they" means...Kaji is learning to noootice in real time.
>>292166842Kaji the JANNY
>>292166842Kajibros...not like this...
>>292166703>>292166716HAAAAAAAAAL
>>292166052The impression i get is that Tasuki was more of a fighter than a gambler. I don't think he was the same monster Souichi was in terms of intelligence. So in a fair gamble, i do think Baku could have won.
>>292166387holy fucking shit, he didn't liealso that's one large ear
>>292166842THE JANITOR THAT KEEPS ON SWEEPING
>>292166854Kaji chads what happened?
>>292166871mysterious warriors that we've never seen before...
[BAD END]
>>292166805First Kageaki mention I've seen that hasn't been jokes about him taking it up the ass
>>292166086chill out with the antisemitic remarks
IS THAT MAYWEATHER IN THE PANEL!!ARE THEY IN VEGAS????I do applaud Sako that he managed to not mention Las Vegas once until the last chapter.I really thought we gonna go to vegas at some point but much much earlier

>>292166919ENTER EL PADRE DE BAKU
>>292166919ENTER EL PADRE
>>292166941Confirmed that Baku would be strong if he had his heart? At least above normal(kaji level) but not referee or Souichi level
>>292166961he's AFRAID
>>292166600>>292166625say what
>>292166919>>292166941EVIL IS ON THE MOVE
>>292166052>>292166858Yeah I think Baku would have annihilated Tatsuki in a gamble
>>292166625>An animal study published in the British Journal of Nutrition this month suggests that eating dried plums slows the development of atherosclerosis. An inflammatory disease, better known as “hardening of the arteries,” it is the condition that leads to cardiovascular disease and stroke, and is the leading cause of death in our society.>Although there are numerous studies of the effects of fruit and vegetables on serum cholesterol, few exist on the reduction of atherosclerosis. In fact, this study appears to be the first examining the effect of a fruit, in this case dried plums, on this type of disease. “This study breaks new ground by showing a significant reduction in the development of a major inflammatory disease,” says lead researcher Dr. Dan Gallaher, professor of nutrition in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota. “It also strengthens the notion of eating fruit, in particular dried plums, as a preventive measure against heart disease.”>Dried plums, often touted for their digestive health benefits, are emerging as a heart-healthy addition to a diet. https://www.farmprogress.com/orchard-crops/study-reveals-dried-plums-effective-in-reducing-heart-disease
>>292166986>He laughed
>>292165173Surprising that he found out so early on
>>292165700Woah, so the shadowy figure was Eko
>>292166986yup all part of the keikaku
>>292166961>Baku surprised that gonen looks like him when he sees him again>Says here Gonen only looks like Baku because of the transplantSo why did the fanbase trick themselves into thinking he’s his dad?
>>292167010Because of cognitive load, they want an answer but don't want to think too hard about it.
>>292166716The Rubik is on the move again!
Usogui Omega?
>Sako will never draw the donor game between Gonen and BakuYou bastard, I seriously want to see how these two met and what the gamble was. No doubtable was already a kakerou member
WTF SAKO YOU CANT DRAW SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE LAST CHAPTER
>>292166975I think Sako said that he was pretty alright, not referee/leader level yeah but probably a healthy guy.However, in this case we can also say that Gonen was nerfed by a diseased heart and having a healthy heart helped him a lot.
>>292165497Eko randomly coming into Tatsuki's room to tell him fun animal facts and leaving is a very funny image
>>292166756Another great page.I don't even mind the esl word order.
>>292166387worldpeace.jpg
>>292165571>echolocation powers>is named EkoBRAVO SAKO
>>292167039Damn calm down Yakou
>>292166108It was also mentioned in Baku's dream, the greenland shark
>>292167039This actually confirms for me that he is NOT as sharp as Baku, as Baku wouldn't tell that he's figured something out to the opponent and would instead use their skill against them.
>>292165484Well ran
>>292166812>>292166842>>292166854kajibros, don't look...
>>292167010It doesn't make much sense to me either. IIRC, the argument is something like: Baku is also a prince, one who got exiled from his kingdom. Who could've exiled him, who could've defeated him? Gonen is the only option we know of, and they do look weirdly similar, over and above what can be explained by the bro-science-tier heart-transplant feature transmutation. He's also extremely sharp. So therefore, Gonen is Baku's dad.
>gonen looks like Baku because of his heartThis may be the most insane baki/Jojo tier science in the series
>>292167033kek the shitposting was just foreshadowing
>>292167080k-kajichads? what is this?
>>292165530You know I wonder if Eba would have been glad that Souichi made a friend. Probably would still need to consider eliminating him for finding out the secret, but it'd be an interesting conflict for him.
>>292165836Rat went splat
>>292167033How hard would it utterly shit itself 50 chapters in?
>>292167123OUR HEROES
>>292167123THEM <3
This is just Vento Aureo endingWill pretend that nothing happened after the leader in wheelchair reveal
>>292166666Holy checked, but also correct
>>292167123What did he set up in those toilets...
>>292166919Baku got swole and old!
>>292167104I think is the other way around, Baki looks like Gonen.
>>292165620>this would be so fucking funny if I pull it off
>>292167147>Staff credits roll
couldn't Baku find a better heart in another gamble?
>>292167123>Kaji setting up cameras in all the toilets
FIN!
>>292167169Where is the fun in that?
>>292167147I think it's time we blow this thingGet everybody and the stuff togetherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFFa0QoHWvE
>>292166919>>292166941Like I previously commented. I don't think Gonen looks like Usogui but Usogui looks like him after the heart transplant
>>292165657Jesus christ the foreign affairs chick became a boy
>>292167169Note that he's addicted to gambling with a diseased body, it adds to the thrill.
>>292167174WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK
>>292167174Farewell, Usogui...
>>292167174Thanke OP! It's been such a ride!
>>292165677I like how he makes both his subordinates nervous
>>292167174KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>292167183That makes absolutely no sense, as Baku is surprised by his new looks and he himself stated that he's changed considerably since the transplant.
so wait, Leader woke up so Baku gave Kakerou back to him, while working with him in the background to make him win every game?
So Baku and Leader are co rulers of Kakerou now? Who calls the shots?
>>292167174THE GAMBLER OPENS A KARIUME ONCE MORE
>>292165700>>292165717>>292165733Thank you duwang
>>292167174Uhh what? Who's the leader now?
>>292167174USOGUI 2 IN 2030 haha
That's it for Volume 49!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or Gonen will come for your Heart!!BUT ANONS THIS IS NOT THE END!THERE ARE STILL 2 DAYS OF USOGUI LEFT!!!Tomorrow we will start the Usogui -Rikkainin Yakou Hikoichi-!.It has 8 Chapters 4 tomorrow and 4 the day after tomorrow!See you for the REAL final ride you gamblers!
Why are these anons asking such stupid questions...
Kaji, Hal, and Souichi as a trio vs Gonen and Abi Khan. We’ll never see it but we can imagine
>>292167249The real leader is the friends we made along the way.
>>292167211This fight took place in 2015. I wonder if we really had a 6-year timeskip or if Sako just thought it looked cool.
>>292167252Thank you OP! See you tomorrow!
>>292167252Batuquegui is so fucking cursed...
When is the Baki doomp? I am a frog but not of the French kind
>>292165820I only JUST realized he put the diamond in this fucking eye.Also what the hell is that car
>>292166214I mean, for Baku, someone taking care of Hal is proably a big mission and well, i don't see Marco being interested in chasing the bigger treats unless baku specifically ask him to.He wants to have his zoo, doesn't he?
>>292166598>>292166151These are actual fund funds, not black market. Literal organizations investing in real companies. While there are pornography companies, I don't imagine them being what you mean by sex industry and it's the legal drugs(alcohol and tobacco) that are already mentioned.
It’s clear that it was always meant to be an open end where the journey continues. that being said, Sako is a liar(heh) for saying he wants to draw Baku vs Gonen but never did
>>292165843Wonder if Sako was inspired by Kony 2012
>>292167249Physically being the leader doesn't matter to Baku, his objective is to take down Vehizoma, so he's now working together with Souichi to make it happen now
>>292167252Oh nice, never read those.
>>292167227Because that's related to the Yakou Gaiden and the appearance of the younger Baku
>>292164876But I still want to goomble with you guys...
>>292167252Looks like Gonen also stole Baku’s balls and forced him to go on hrt
>>292167249baku and hal cured their duel autism through literal death they can just be normal friends now
>>292167249Baku won StL, so he' still the leader until Hal challenges him again.
How the fuck did Baku get into a gamble with Gonen at like 8 years old
>>292167252>those lips on TatsukiI actually think the art in the spin off is great, but Tatsuki has the most rugged face in the series. Under no circumstances should he look pretty or feminine, it’s like twink Jonathan
>>292167252Baku why are you looking at mr like that…
>>292167344>Hey Boy wanna play a round RPS for some karuime?>All you have to do is give us your hearth
>>292165901WTF
>>292167272If I remember right, it should be 22:30 French time starting next Monday.
>>292167350he wants to tickle your balls
>>292165086This is some collector bullshit.
>>292167344This is the thing that gets me, we never see Baku's past and can only really guess at his motivation for wanting to take down VehizomaI'm guessing they directly or indirectly ruined his life somehow (maybe killed his family?) and he's on a revenge bend
>>292166485>tfw a Chinese exhibit actually did this including with a pregnant lady and when people actually investigated, nobody could find out where they sourced the bodies with many people strongly believing the pregnant lady was a disposed of mistress
>>292167228It seems to be implied that Baku lost to Gonen with that page where the rival bee's spear broke, so Hal had to step up.
By the way OP, what did you think of the ending?
>>292166420>Souichi's mom's schizophrenic monologue meant to be done for her son and to motivate him ended up fracking Baku's brain into being world-peace pilledIt's a bit impressive
>>292165925>phone dies>ideal lost
>>292166600Remember those pages of his heart during STL?
So Batuque and Usogui are confirmed to take place in the same universeWhat about Genikasuri?
>>292167375Baku at his core is a gambler, he said it himself. Things beyond the thrill of winning are not necessary in gambling. In the final arc, we saw more of Souichi’s last but not Baku’s. Clearly done purposely. All we know is that he’s been betting on his life since very young and was lonely before Hal
>>292167344gonen was going around the block challenging kids in life and death gambles
>>292166468This really was so extra and unnecessary but I'm glad it happened. I hope we get an Usogui 2
>>292167272Next monday
>>292167390Baku stole his friend’s motivation, before that I don’t think he had any real goal besides just winning gambles and accumulating wealth.
>>292166512>He puts them on a diamondShine on you crazy diamond Lalo!
>>292166732When was the last time he said this?During abandoned building?
>>292167010Another thing about Gonen not being Baku's father is that Gonen is actually not even a Japanese name.In Japanese it's ゴーネン / Goonen, which is written like a foreign word (elongated vowel implies it's not a stylistic choice). The Japanese fanbase theorize that it comes from the word エピゴーネン / epigonen, which means imitator, fraud etc.No one cares about him, but the Abi Khan guy comes from 阿鼻叫喚 / abikyoukan, meaning pandemonium.
>>292166036Lole
>>292167174I am attached to this manga in a way that has happened very few times in my life. Gentlemen, it was a pleasure and a privilege.See you around.
>>292167377That is fucking insane>ChineseOf course.
>>292166581>Baku goes from shock of a near loss to wondering who this joker isHe looks a lot like Gonen here
Seeing as how Baku eats lies, did part of him want to expose Hal? Did that set his lie eating in motion?
>>292166792This sure has been a ride...https://youtu.be/6O4SU42d_J0
>>292165880LMAO that's my bank, UBS Zürich at Paradeplatz. I know because I live like fifteen minutes on foot from there.
>>292166103RETVRN
>>292165595Look at how gaunt Baku and Kaji looks, what the hell.
>>292166644This is a Kyara teaser of sorts, is this a primer for plastic surgery (Gonen) a Kyara ghost, or something else
>>292166854I wonder how much of this is meant to be true and how much is just a fake out?Deep down, does kaji regret joining this twisted and bizarre world?
>>292167138I see where you're coming from, but this final chapter wraps up the Prince Bee stuff and drives home the fact that the whole story has always been a plan within a plan within a plan and Usogui enters a gamble...
>>292167387I liked it.I am really curious about Gonen and did enjoy it but im not angry or offended that Sako let it open (maybe we see it in the thread tomorrow dont know) but all the goals the main character wanted to reach were achieved and everything explained with a little open end if Sako does want to continue Usogui later in his life.So for me a it's a really well made end which surprises me. Im the opinion a bad written end doesnt destroy the journey it had beforehand but it does make me think if i should pick it up again or not.Its not something you see so much in a long running series and it showed me that Sako is a talented writer.Definitley in the TOP 2 Mangas for just a little behind SBR.
>>292167483That's just the TV making noise, which is why he shuts it off.
>>292166903First time i was checking the manga, i thought KY Declaration stood for Kentucky
>>292167483Maybe, at this point he’s no longer staying by Baku for Baku’s sake and acceptance. He’s doing this on his own accord
>>292166993neat
>>292165050ENTER>>292165530EXIT
I think it’s better that Baku’s last remains ambiguous. He doesn’t need to have some tragic background. I like the idea that he only started losing serious things once he entered the world of gambling on his own>Kyara>his heart
Usogui is Baku's and Hal's story at its core. Everything else is just extra.
>>292167525*past
>>292167496I think it's a very well written ending because with just a few pages of setup it desperately leaves you wanting more, while at the same time as you said Baku achieved everything he wanted so there's really no point for the story to continue.I think it was a bit of a gamble to do it this way, but it's WAY more interesting than just "and then Baku became leader of Kakerou, the end"
I'll never lose hope
>>292166271What about kakerou?
Like I give a shit
>Usogui’s main plot was all about Baku trying to regain his friend and stock up his arsenal so they could team up to defeat a bigger evil Based
>>292167448While the Chinese(as well as Russians) are the ones mysteriously disappearing people and selling bodies. This is the fucked up German guy buying them.
>>292167560Not a vice fund, just a shadow organization that Lalo wanted to take over
>>292166387>tfw your best friend's mom accidentally grooms you into committing zero requiem
>>292167560Kakerou is the friends we made gambling for vice funds!
>>292166732This would actually have been a kino ending for Usogui to just leave it here, I must admit. I'm actually surprised Baku didn't self-destruct earlier with all the curses thrown at him
>>292166485Are they OK?
>>292167552>I think it was a bit of a gamble to do it this way, but it's WAY more interesting than just "and then Baku became leader of Kakerou, the end"A gamble you say huh...We are all Gamblers after all!But yes i agree with that statementNow i have to take a mighty sleep.See you tomorrow you crazy gamblers
>>292167552Yeah, it’s the best of both worlds. We got the payoff to Baku’s meaning of world peace and the prince bee dynamic concluded. We get a glimpse of what threats Baku will face to achieve said peace. Like you said, it would be boring if it just ended with Baku as leader. The series keep reiterating that violence and evil will never stop existing so you want to sell the evil that Baku will go up against and not leave it as a generic no name
>>292166512Sako are you OK?
How come Baku never bothered reteaching his pinky?
>>292167174After half a year of reading, it finally comes to a close.Its bitter that it ended this way. I mean, after winning STL with the page of Baku as the new leader. or the one where he starts the gamble with the warlord. Hell, Baku dying could and the speech about life being a gamble could have been a great way too.And yet, this is the end.Its oddly fitting.Even after climbing to the very very top, he'd still fight against the world, because that's what baku did, does and will always do. It really is an interesting train of thought where fate will lead this man.As they say, there's no such a thing as a gambler that wins forever. But until that day, fair game. I imagine this the camu-esque part that i've seen a lot of people tal about in regard to the manga. Still, a great trip.See you for the Batuque dump, OP.
>>292166919>>292167183Baku's so mysterious and unexplained that he very well COULD be related to Gonen, who himself is likely half Japanese
>>292166625Well this is out of nowhere
>>292167616The story technically never betrayed the theme of how no one can win forever>Kyara died>Souichi lost>Baku lost The page still hits emotionally for me, Baku isn’t immortal. His heart will give out one day, sooner than later if he keeps betting his life. He may suffer the same fate as Kyara
>>292166716Fucking Kiruma's taking over again
>>292167440Shieeet, maybe Baku is just a random guy
If I had a nickel for every manga about bishounen 5D-chess masters and fightfags where the final boss has both the brains and the brawn and whose gimmick revolves around stolen identities, I'd have two nickels.
>>292166732What is this face meant to convey?
>>292167643He intentionally left it off as part of his snare to make Lalo the Kaiser, and then immediately spent a week on the run (during which I doubt he was able to keep the wound very clean or change his bandages) followed by Air Poker followed by StL. Can you even reattach a finger after like two weeks in that condition?
>>292165963To be fair Lalo prepared his inheritance for Baku during Proto by calling Anoma over, he could have had this done during that time too
>>292166986>Abi-chan>Raughs like BakuLmao

>>292167724Eh, baku would have tried going for Kakerou regardless.But it sure would have been a lot different. No kaji, no marco, no souichi.
>>292167174Amazing read yet again, even more so with company
>>292167747Eh, i started reading usogui somewhere around May/June.Then the storytime happened and caught on with me, so i just stuck with it
>>292167010Because these epilogue chapters are confusing
>>292165556>>292165577This is the moment Baku decided to end Hal's carreer.Anons think the gamble was close and PL would win without the memory loss, but Baku didnt want to simply win, he wanted to eat the lie.Its like winning a race against a f1 car using a minivan by 0.1s and the F1 pilot telling you he almost won and would've won if he had a different tire or something.
>>292167365>>292167424Fuark, thanks anons. I had started to believe it was this monday
>>292164876>oh rodemu>you kill caracal, now we are now landless>how will we find solid footing now?
Post them
>>292167714I think it's more than that too, he's leaving it as is as a form of apology for Kyaras death.
>>292167553No joke, it’s probably difficult to write this game. Even though teenage Baku is not as strong as current Baku he’s still a genius. You have to create a very intricate scenario where he straight up gets outplayed by someone else with it feeling earned. Even souichi never beat him. The game itself has to be pretty damn complex and have gravitas to it as well
>>292167796forgot pic>oh rodemu>you kill caracal, now we are now landless>how will we find solid footing now?
>>292167123Eyyyy
>>292167496>Even OP the gambler praises SBRThere's something special about SBR I find. It's hard for me to describe but it feels like such an honest rendition of the hero's journey through the unique lens of the wild west and stands, but somehow Araki really locked in as both an artist and a writer.
>>292166387Hmm, kinda based.
>>292167174I was worried there was gonna be some kind of downer end but this was pretty good. Still a lot to drop on readers in the last few chapters, could have been done more elegantly imo.
>>292167684Yes that's my read also, but I think it could have made an equally as valid ending having Baku die during or shortly after StL
>>292167252Thanks OP, it's been a lot of fun. And we still have 2 days to go!

Sir, the Final Villains you ordered just arrived
>>292166770Ah yes, there it is.
>>292167010>>292167782There's a few things going on>Baku's past is very mysterious and he is noted to be a rival prince exiled from his kingdom, while Kakerou is described as a kingdom>How did young Baku come to possess such intimate knowledge of Kakerou, death gambles, and else to begin with?>How come Baku already knew these people (not surprised by Abi's appearance but only by his winning card)>Baku is a blonde Japanese (foreigner blood probably)>Gonen has to be asian for the transplant to be successful due to genetics and compatibility, and organ compatibility is best in close genetic matchesOf course, this is all fucked up because Abi is a notably accomplished surgeon and the series borders on the supernatural at times. So yes, it could be either or and the way the epilogue chapters are rapid fire in terms of chronological movement and exposition does give the readers (us) much time to digest or comprehend the scenario before the manga ends.It's extremely open ended though, even if you want to look at the meaning of the names or the themes of the story. In some ways, Sako may be TOO accomplished at foreshadowing if we expect the Prince Bee book foreshadows Gonen as Baku's relative/father and Abi's appearance
>>292167710Resignation but you had fun anyway
>>292167798>Fugitive Bee and Battleship so lowAYYYYYYY. Overall it's hard to say. Kaji's introduction is rough but abandoned building itself is quite good, though imo Usogui doesn't get started properly until Hangman
>>292167798>not rating Hangman
>>292167946>How come Baku already knew these people (not surprised by Abi's appearance but only by his winning card)Gonen was the one who flipped the winning card, that's why all the referees were stunned at his appearance. Plus you can see his white jacket in >>292166404

I've always thought that maybe, at some point, Air Poker was meant to be the game for Baku/Hal vs. Gonen. I'm glad we got what we did though, I wouldn't want it any other way.

crashing this thread with no survivors
>>292167798
I think ultimately we can go in circles speculating on Baku's relationship to Gonen for the heart transplant to bear fruit as well as their physical similarities (Gonen only speaks as to his mannerisms) and them knowing each other before the manga's earliest point for Baku, where Baku would have to be younger than 15, but it's rather ambiguous
We may need an afterparty thread to honour the end of our Story time properly.

Gonna be honest, not a fan of these last couple of chapters. Introducing all these characters and organizations that they are not going to follow up, it could have a stronger ending without itBUT that aside, usogui might be one of the best finales in a manga overall by having both it's best gambles in the end, impressive really
