Yeah, it looks like the general message is going to be one that condones the general concept rather than looking at it critically. Which is kind of hosed up.

I originally thought main character guy before we found out he was a member of the torture police. Was going to get falsely accused and convicted of some crime and then would have to do that weird duel thing against the torture police. After winning he would have to use the 3 year timer given to him to prove his innocence.

eh imo they're clearly angling for a redemption arc and it makes me sad, with him being more or less instantly forgiven by his wife who previously hated him so much that she scarred their youngest son because he looked similar to his father

but I'll shut up about this so yet another thread isn't bogged down by endeavorchat

His wife has not gotten over everything. She is still unwilling to see him. It's a complicated situation, and it's less redemption then atonement. Endeavor made it clear he does plan to ask for or expect forgiveness for his actions.

Presumably like the President Ryuk would have told him about the change in rules and that withdrawing the money would mean he would have to die. But in an entirely unforeseeable way, he screwed himself by telling Ryuk to never appear before him again.

I dont think theyll axe Kishimoto that fast.
Dude was a golden goose for a decade and a half and got the magazine jumping (hah) off the shelves.
I think he earned this in their eyes.


Besides its just getting good now.


In other Money Maker Mangaka news: Eden's zero:
The chapter isnt in english yet but
yeah no points for guessing a reset.
But its definitely a revisit of an old villain trope:
"So this person is possibly immensely powerful, has abilities that rewrite reality, and you want them on your side, so you killed all their friends and did what most people would swear blood oaths over you."
"yeah"
"Congrats ya played yourself."


Well the plan was for them never to explain the abilities and then steal them when they first showed up. She just happened to be in the only place they were not watching her when they first showed up. Still being able to go back in time does not mean they can suddenly win, the fight they just lost.

I did enjoy Natsu beating the guy who's secondary power is super hearing by shouting really loud.

Also that one demon who could gently caress with magic just by smashing him with a boulder.

Namely he could absorb anything with a soul, and magic has a soul in a way. So he could absorb magic and physical blows could not hurt him because he would absorb your soul. So Natsu just battered him with a soulless rock.

Baring any massive left field swipes, we're probably in the home stretch of this arc.
I think Hiro's aproach of "Have the big points ploted out like Rave and then play fast and loose in between them like FT" has paid off in terms of pacing.

Drakken Joe has also been a pretty intimidating villain.

Regading Undead Unluck, as the Galaxy UMA rewrote reality so that Stars and planets other than our own had always existed, implying that before now their universe was empty, but also that the concept of zodiacs and named days of the week didn't exist Ragnarok could well be 'The world now remembers going to war in 1914 killing millions, and again in 1949, and then there's the Korean war, the Cold War, the whole deal with the Middle East... hey, ask your non-negator friends about nukes!'

Going back to check. Everytime we got a look at space or the night sky there were no stars or anything. Makes me wonder if every UMA coming into being introduced their concept to the World.

Y'know it's rare for a comic's final arc to be its best but the whole post-timeskip arc of Haikyuu was fantastic. Maybe just because i'm a sucker for dramatic callbacks, but regardless it was really good.

Although, it's a shame that with Haikyuu ending Jump is now without the best Shonen genre. Hopefully it's not too long till they find a new sports series.

Literally the first time Jump is without a sports series since the 1960s.

Liked how Andy took down Rip in the new Undead Unluck.

Also liked that explanation of why Rip explains his powers to those he uses it on. He can't be killed by those trying to save themselves by killing him, as it's considered a way of trying to heal and thus he negates it.

In the latest Fire Force chapter it is confirmed that Shinra is literally that world's version of Jesus. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Undead Unluck just had a multi-month timeskip, which is giving me the same kind of rushed editor vibes that Time Paradox manga had too. Kind of a shame but I'm not sure how much longer this series has

It had a multi month timeskip cause the series was getting to the next set of missions, which were super interesting.

Like other then to watch Fuuko and Chikara train, there was no reason not to skip to the next set of missions.

On another note I finally started reading Eden’s Zero. Apart from the female leads basically being Lucy and Wendy with different names (and the lead essentially just being black haired Natsu) it seems to do a decent enough job of making itself unique.

Though out of curiosity, why is Happy from Fairy Tail here (seriously, Hiro didn’t even bother giving him a new name)?

Who's the Wendy?

Also the Hiro explained the Happy thing. Namely it was originally going to be a new character then he realized it was just going to be basically happy and so decided to just have it be happy.

But yes he also likes making References to his old works.

To be fair he's the only mega-dangerous special grade curse left. Dagon, the plant guy, and Jogou all got waxed. The cursed fetus guy is pretty clearly not on the level of Jogou/Mahito/etc, and all of the mook-tier sorcerers are dead I think now.

It's kind of funny that Jogo got beaten down like he did. Considering that he was the most powerful of the Disaster Curses and probably the second most powerful Curse we have seen after Sukuna. (Considering he was considered to be almost half as strong as a full powered Sukuna.)

Like Mahito at the start was considered to be about half as strong as Jogo.

Still from Jogo's final moments they implied that the Disaster Curses will return in someway if Mahito does something.

This is of course still ignoring the possibility that Mahito just activates his domain and instant wins against Todo. It's not like he doesn't have that ace up his sleeve.[/spoiler]

Mahito was weaker than the other Disaster Curses in pure curse power output so it's possible Todo or someone else could overpower his domain with their own.
