This is how a good retainer salutes his lord Edition.Old: >>3921504
Series needs more Tadayoshi
Takauji gets the weirdest fanart IMO
OUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH
>>3929233Did the artist ever finished this? I can't even find the tweet anymore even though I remember saving it (but not sure who the artist was anymore).
>>3929315I miss when he was an eldritch horror dressed as a human and not a fool with 100 LCK.
>>3929470RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE

What a mighty dump.
>>3929457Same. I feel like some side characters got done dirty and it made the shilling of the OCs and Tokiyuki more annoying to me. I really hope that Fubuki's arc will at least get a well written end regardless of whether it's happy or tragic. But I already not a fan of how the arc was written. He was a type of character I can see switching sides based on opportunist reasons or a plan, instead it was another spit mind manipulation. The only other potentially interesting parts related to the MCs I still have some hopes for are plot points related to Kojiru's development (if it happens) and Tokiyuki's relationship with Sadamune. At least I am sure that the latter will deliver so the new arc could be fun, despite being battles again.
>>3929545Every single one of Tokiyuki's retainers was subjected to Takauji's aura, and all the boys had been subjected to it in Kyo. Only Fubuki gave in to it. And he even explicitly explains later that he switched sides to satisfy his ambition.I'm getting really sick of people fabricating reasons to doompost.
>>3929551>Only Fubuki gave in to it. And he even explicitly explains later that he switched sides to satisfy his ambition.This is why he's by far the most interesting retainer IMO. The showdown involving him is one of the three things I am looking forward to the most.
Need meido merch..
>>3929043Unpopular opinion but I think he's hot
The manga needs more assservice
Worst boy

>>3930383Yep. It's cool now. Think I've only seen this with cartoon villains and One Piece before.
You're not gonna believe this:https://x.com/takahi_zucchina/status/1856387298033840417Straight from the man himself.
>>3930402Based I hope the gay up of the anime made him even more unhinged. They know their audience.I like that he made that card to thank the anime team, it's really nice. Happy that he's looking forward to s2 as well.
I hope Elusive Samurai has an ending as good as AssClass.
>>3930419Personally I am hoping for something slightly bittersweet but good. Neither a bad not a typical full happy ending and whatever happens I hope that Takauji will at least suffer a bit at the end, even though I like him. Kinda dreading the last four years since a lot of characters should die there if it keeps following history. I just hope that everybody that dies will do it gloriously.
>>3930550yes please
This is how I feel about cute things too
>tfw half of the artists forcing me to use a second SNS by moving to bluesky Will do it but reeee
>>3930662As always, blame that faggot Elon.
>>3930879Can't wait to see Takauji's mental collapse when his brother and his son become lovers and turn against him.
>>3930911
>>3930958fucking kek
>>3930958There is something strangely entertaining about seeing Takauji losing his shit. It probably helps that he's the main antagonist and unlike 90% of the cast you know he'll get away everything and survive at the end.
>>3930667I can't wait to see this guy animated (implying). The anime style makes everybody even hotter and/or cuter than they already are and I need more fanart of them. I don't believe it will happen but I wish they would adapt everything. Just once in a decade I want a full adaption of one of the rare shounen I happen to enjoy.
Since some anons like these characters: one artist is planning to publish an Uesugi/Nagao doujinshi in January it seems. Here is the relevant skeet (tweet? skypost?)https://bsky.app/profile/pisvany.bsky.social/post/3lb32cig7m22yI also see a few other doujinshi being drawn right now, but since I don't see any announcements they'll probably be uploaded on poipiku for free, like the Takauji doujinshi.

>>3930911The disturbance part and wrap-up of Sadamune's arc are the most interesting upcoming things for me at the moment. Makes me wonder of how he will fill the rest. There should be some development happening with Sadamune respectively Ichikawa between 1340 and 1348 but I don't know if they will stay relevant after the fight (could go both ways) and the infighting with Takauji shouldn't start till the late 40s at best. We know have Noriaki back who is scheming as well which is nice, I assume that his route will be connected with Kojiru and Fubuki which sounds interesting and might fill some of the gaps but no idea about the rest. Assuming the manga won't regularly skip multiple years to jump from plot point to plot point from now on, which is actually within the realm of possibility.
>>3929460>episode 1>don't like the pacing>this scene>suddenly shota service, prime horse ridingWhy did no one tell me this was based actually
>>3932166The history filter is a real thing, and the series was ignored by all normalfags.
>>3932166I actually liked it from the start but almost skipped it when I saw the promo art since I thought it was just some shota slice of life or something. It's the screenshots of the samurais that attracted me. Samurai shit is always good as long as it's not genderbending stuff or weird parodies or something.
>>3932205It even happens with best sellers like golden kamuy which is insanely popular in Japan but not the west. Nobody watches stuff like Hyoue Mono or Revengers either, the genre doesn't seem to matter. The moment it's history it gets ignored in the west. It wasn't the case with Kenshin back in the day, but maybe that's related to the scarcity of translated manga in the early 00s. And most fans back then were eager to read and explore different genres. Today the market is oversaturated and most anime and manga fags are casuals that want things that appeal to casuals or instincts like romance shit or ecchi.
Are we waiting for the older thread to fall off the catalogue before making a new oneLots of drama this week for Ichikawa/Sadamune fujos
>>3932857I feel bad for having too many threads but I also don't know how much longer it will take for the first one to die. A lot of other threads that are still on page 10. There is a lot of new fanart though.>Lots of drama this week for Ichikawa/Sadamune fujosI relate. It's actually fun but also quite horrible. Classic gay(ish) antagonist fag experience, I almost expected it. Regardless of which theory is right it'll probably all lead to a bittersweet ending if you want any of the two to be happy. Something like that was maybe needed for development reasons, but still. Doesn't help that history dictates that both will go before the end of the series, I just hope it isn't misery porn. The comedic nature of the manga better saves my sanity.
>>3932863The /a/ chapter thread has given me enough copium that the outcome of this won't be so bad.It's kind of funny how invested all of us are in this, I don't think Matsui expected how popular the ship would be or Sadamune in general among the cast. I'm curious what his perspective on that is
>>3932869Same. And I already wondered about that as well. Characters like them are usually in danger of getting shafted by their creators, since they're neither conventionally attractive nor fighting for the alleged right side. With Matsui it's more complicated since he likes weirdos. I wonder if Sadamune is among his favorites, he always stroke me as someone he enjoys drawing. Ichikawa is a character I never expected to care about at first, but he quickly grew on me. He is underrated in my opinion, since he's clinging to Sadamune who is more dominant and charismatic, so he gets overshadowed (albeit willingly).
