Batoto breaks links if a new/updated version of a chapter is uploaded, and also hides anything older than like a month behind that pseudo 404 error if you aren't logged in, which is dumb as all hell.

They made that change last year to discourage bots that would scrape the chapters withing minutes, add watermarks, and put them on other for-profit sites. It was as much a "let's protect scanlators' wishes" decision as it was a "holy hell there's too much bot traffic taxing our servers" decision.

Sometimes it makes for hilarious things, though. Somebody has been uploading Sonichu to batoto and it is now finding its way onto other manga sites due to bots.

Yeah, they said it doesn't stop all the bots, but it cuts traffic from bots down.

I knew Piwi was a Godly Being of some sort. In this case, he's simply anathema to evil, it seems. Also, I thought the mysterious witch lady was Vamirio from the future, but seems she's an entirely different person.

It sounds like she's her Aunt or something and didn't really let anyone know it/about her since she just wanted to chill out on an island or whatever.

it was very clear that the witch was not vamirio as soon as the side stories featuring her came out.

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
Either aunt or great-aunt or great-great-aunt or something, depending on how many generations have passed (the witch's the first Red Heavenly Dragon's sister, and I don't think it was mentioned which number Anne is). Still a relative though.

Yeah. So Piwi's powers were not only foreshadowed, they were pretty much explicit! But when you first read it you think Piwi is singing to calm himself down and Helck just beat the poo poo out of the other guy.

Which is especially hilarious because when it was introduced everyone thought it was just a little kid imagining a wand or something, and it turns out that it's an insanely powerful magical artifact.

I liked those adventures we saw of younger Vamirio.

What was "He lost his pointer and greatly shrank." about? Is Piwi supposed to have a pointer on his head? He's a good notbird either way.

I guess it has something to do with the fact that the large piwi-like thing has a big pointy head.

as we saw from the witch chapters, piwi never had a pointer unlike his sweeping-enthusiast kin.
