man after reading the latest few chapters, Kingdom is just an incredible achievement. It's insane to think we already have a 750 chapter epic that will probably make it close to 1k and chronicle the main character from a peasant in a village backwater to participating in and witnessing the reunification of China.

Arist posted:Oh hey, just got an email from Viz stating that the price of the monthly Shonen Jump membership is increasing from two dollars... to three dollars. Yeah, not a big deal and still totally worth it. The $1.99 was so cheap that I've gotten a few random months free just because I had no other activity during those periods on the credit card I use for it (Discover) and processing the billing for $1.99 would cost them more than it was worth so they just straight up apply a "small balance credit" to the account and zero it out for that month.

 Still funny as gently caress the 2nd time around. Folgore suddenly remembering all the poo poo he had to tank during the previous series and regretting everything.

https://twitter.com/OfficialHitsuji/status/1603916927621271552?s=20&t=3rOqDoUOmmhh7XFDlVZ23Q Yozakura Family is getting an anime. Even as someone who enjoys the manga, I'm not sure the anime will last long. The beginning chapters are by far the weakest part of the series. The first chapter introduces the titular family and is a good core cast of characters to base things around, but they then got mostly sidelined while dozens of other, less interesting characters got introduced and discarded when they didn't catch on. Eventually it got back to focusing on the family itself and left those other side characters behind, but it took an embarrassingly long time to get there.

Sakamoto Days continues to be the coolest although was expecting Shishiba to eat it here, wondering what this means for the story since I was expecting Amane to confront his dad at some point.

Amane learning his dad actually was the good parent out of the two after he kicks it is definitely the sort of dramatic irony that I can see the story going for. Incidentally, I wonder what this revelation means for Slur's deal.

Electric Phantasm posted:"Save your disappointment for your lover not me." I want Mash to punch him more. I'm not sure if all the peanut gallery fights were the Mangaka purposefully inducing the worst case of blueballs ever on purpose making every normal punch now feel like a symphony or if he just completely misread the room and is now stumbling back into what made Mash great by accident. It's also a bit silly that Doom isn't getting a little nervous. Mash brought you to your knees in a single punch, tanked everything by doing a silly dance and launched you across the room while you're at 90% power and you've done exactly 0 damage. Unless your remaining 10% is actually 50%, you're screwed. Fabricants: I'm digging fabricants. Ichinose: I am not digging Ichinose. There's no mystery, I find it hard to keep the characters and their "motivations" apart. On the one hand I would like to know how everything gets resolved, but on the other it doesn't feel worth the effort at all. Sakamoto: I don't believe staff guy died. It doesn't fit with Amano's story and the words of blondy and even be interpreted that he has no reason to kill him. But man, I love the creativity behind these fighting styles so much. How interesting can you make a guy who fights with 2 bog standard claw hammers against a guy with a segmented staff....well this interesting. Witch Watch: Good. Undead Unluck: That was one hell of a quick training arc. Still, very cool to see the previous loop interact with the current loop. Roboco: Didn't finish, I don't like Second Year much.

Akane-banashi: Really digging the past few chapters and the Urara arc. Akane's just fuckin' built different, I guess, in terms of focus and memorization. I guess that's one of her strengths of her single-minded focus. That said, I wonder what Urara's aim is. She clearly knew that Akane wasn't gonna be able to pull off an exact copy of Fetching Tea, so I assume it's a sort of test for Akane, though I'm not sure what the test is. Does she want Akane to try and craft a persona capable of adding the sultry undertones of her version of Fetching Tea? Or does she want Akane to modify Fetching Tea in a manner more fitting? Considering that Urara's master was the kind of guy who hated the thought of people modifying his rakugo style, I wonder what Urara's personal take on it is. Elusive Samurai: So like I expected, the seemingly suicidal maneuver from a guy with no battle experience turns out to have been the smart decision. Also interesting that the dude decides to go after Tokiyuki with words and not swords, and takes advantage of his youth to create the illusion of an adult scolding a child. But also, as it's been brought up before (especially with Kojiro's past), the Hojo shogunate wasn't really that great of a thing for plenty of people, and while the readers are on Tokiyuki's side, the dude does make a good point that its collapse was due to its internal corruption. Of course, that said, it's not like the Ashikaga are that great either, all things considered. G&G: Man I love how fuckin' weird and grotesque Schezeareawerawe is. I'm gonna assume the majority of the big shots in the guild are like her, albeit not as far gone as she is. Mashle: I always find it weird when people do percentage-based powers. Cause like, the dude went from 90% to 100%, and yet somehow that extra 10% has every making GBS threads themselves like it's 10x stronger. It's like 11% stronger. Though I guess given the Younger Toguro parody he might be going 120% or some poo poo. Which is like, 33% stronger than 90%. I dunno, percentage powers seem so stupid. Me and Roboco: Another useless Bondo chapter! But they combined it with a dating chapter so I dunno. Still an okay chapter though. Sakamoto Days: Nagumo's a heckin' mystery, I wonder what his endgame is! That said, it looks like we're gonna learn more about Raon and her death at Slur's hands. Sorta funny that we have another super strong chick dying in a SJ manga (MHA,and now JJK) and Raon never even got to show up in the manga proper! I guess what I'm saying is, Osaragi better watch her back.

If you ran a 4.2 second 40 time you'd be one of the fastest humans to ever exist If you reveal that you were only using 90% of your speed, and then ran a 3.78. You would have utterly shattered any even reported unofficial human time. Small reaction time and speed differences in sports and fighting is the differences between getting hit and dodging. If you gave any remotely competent boxer/MMA fighter 10% more of everything(hand speed/power/reaction time) they would probably instantly jump to being the best in the world to ever do it.

I don't think giving a boxer 10% more would turn them into a giant hulk with a death aura though.

I mean if you were 250 pounds of muscle another 25 pounds would be a noticable difference lol And if your death aura was like 10 meters another meter is a huge areas add  But yes percentage power holding back have always been silly hackery.

Next villain to do percentage based holding back should undo more of their drip and reveal that nothing was in it and fill it in. 'Okay, you're pretty good. I'll give you 70% now.' Takes off their jacket, second shoulder grows in

Basically one of the things I'm most curious is, uh, how much you're allowed to revise and modify an act that you've been taught. Cause different performers have different styles, so if you're learning a story from a specific performer, I'd assume there's an obligation to adhere to the original performer's style to some extent? Especially considering Urara's master was the extreme example of it, where (before meeting Urara) he was resigned to the fact that he'd die without passing it on because he didn't think anyone could perform it exactly like he did.
