I always thought Borurun was a parasitic dragon but looks like he’s just a head that only survives by using as a human as his body. Probably got decapitated by Crimson.

I did find it weird that his neck looked kind of ragged but also just assumed it was his nature as the "arm Dragon" to look like that. Having more information as well as his old title of the "Forest Sea" dragon it's pretty clear he suffered a major injury in the past and has been getting by on the control of blood all Dragon's possess. It speaks to the hardiness of these things though if they can survive for what is likely centuries as just a head and neck.

I also think a side effect of giving all these villains more interactions and character is they appear more tragic to me. Or more rather some of them do in my eyes. Arnold and the Madness Dragon aren't too dissimilar to Ragna, both were warriors who lost everything at the hands of Artemesia and were then made into dragons. But seeing that brief moment where they realize they are no longer the same people as before, and then realizing how terrible it is to have that devotion and loyalty turned against humanity is super interesting but also somewhat sad. They all have to go at the end of the day, but some of these guys probably had no choice in their transformation and it was the whims of an equally conflicted and mad king that put them in this situation.

Manga Plus version is up now, actually.

I'm not sure it's completely over-over to his sister, so she'll probably be her usual self if not even more aggressive in the future. But yeah, Nariyuki 100% noped it. As you'd expect.

it's pretty well noped but my guess is she's still gonna be the younger sister who really really cares for Nariyuki but just with like significantly less romantic theming around it. she's probably gonna end up migrating to Team Uruka for the endgame.

I'm the opposite, the more I learn about the dragons the more I want them dead. Artemesia most of all.

I saw the art and promptly nope'd on it. Knowing my damnable luck it'll get the Naruto treatment and Yozakura will get two volumes and a swift punt up the arse out the door.

the art has a sort of retro vibe esp. in the main character design, and it's rough in ways that make me think of gyagu manga biyori, which is a good association.

yozakura is way more in line with typical sj stuff so i think it'll be fine, unless people just don't take to it's sort of romcom assclass thing

Now I know its downright cliched for a mangaka to have people we know are fine now get COMPLETELY WRECKED in a flashback but that doesnt make this instance of it better.

But the Girl getting cold-capped? That was unexpected given the stakes they were talking about. This does however give the story a path that doesnt end with Sukuna.

Yozakura's notion on how genetics worked turned me right off. The girl is totally normal and passes on the special genes because she's normal so everyone wants to kill her. Weird.

Eh it's a silly concept, which seems to fit the series.
Talent skips a generation. So kill the person without talent so she can't produce super offspring is a surefire way to kneecap what is probably one of the most powerful spy organizations.

I'm still baffled by the whole flashback but I think it's making more sense to me that this is clearly a set up as to the state of the current time where Gojo despises the system and his former classmate is the main antagonist. There's a lot of little things in there- like the former classmate having the ability to dominate/control cursed spirits, which shifts your perception of his connection to the super powerful cursed spirits in the main timeline. It comes off before this like he's just kind of advising them, where now you can maybe take it as he's subtly controlling them and they THINK they're operating under their own will.

Megumi's dad is the antagonist here apparently, which explains some things. Lot of lore I guess.

it wouldn't surprise me if this was the last chapter of the flashback and next week hard cuts back to the current timeline with no fanfare

this is basically kakashi's flashback arc in naruto but jammed into a random point in the story as though the author forgot about it until the last second

Finally finished catching up with We Never Learn so I've switched to Seven Deadly Sins and Ban and Meliodas are arguing about their girlfriends while fighting bird monsters in a Wile E. Coyote cartoon landscape hell maze.

To be honest that’s an accurate description of that comic. Meliodas and Ban being a couple of frat bros is easily the best thing about it.

One thing I truly appreciate in manga is plots that you can't describe to someone without sounding like a lunatic, and Seven Deadly Sins delivers.

Seven Deadly Sins is like Fairy Tail, reasonably entertaining, but you forget 90% of what just happened a few chapters in to every new arc.

What you can remember though is Escandor is the best.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



seven deadly sins introduced power levels and then made them conpletely meaningless in such quick fashion it would make dragonball blush
