Guess the raws guy got busted.

As poor as the scanlations were at times, I liked seeing the comparative differences between them and the official translation.

It's not just that. All of the WSJ series English translations have been removed from rehosting sites like MangaDex. If you view One Punch Man there, you'll only see Arabic and Brazilian titles.

I have definitely been reading Viz translations. I'm just surprised at how swiftly this all seemed to go down.

The raw providers didn't get busted as far as I can tell. The scanlators probably just got dmca'd finally.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
I'm on Android: what's the app I should get to read the big SJ manga plus like the side populars like OPM?

There's Viz manga, Shonen Jump manga & comics, and Manga +.

I'm not understanding what you're saying here because OPM is still on Mangadex as far as I can tell. https://mangadex.org/title/7139/one-punch-man

Look, I love Chainsaw Man as much as the next guy, but it being better than everything else doesn't mean MHA isn't worth reading.

It's probably just a matter of time before 4chan or another similar setup who isn't subject to DMCA starts doing their own translations anyway.

The best early scanlator for One Punch Man (Ultimateking) posted his translations on 4chan (whereupon Reddit would poach them).

Just a matter of time, really, indeed.

there are already scans for other shonen jump series. this will inconvenience people for a while but it doesn't really change anything

all they can do is hope more people move over to the official translations on viz/mangaplus in the meantime. they're not gonna stop scans

Yeah, that comment was really bizarre. WSJ is kinda uncannily good right now. I guess if someone is only vaguely aware of WSJ being the magazine "that used to have Naruto and Bleach and now has MHA" that take might make sense.

So, Daruma is totally modifying Shigaraki so he can safely use multiple Quirks, right? It was expected, but I figured it'd be further down the line.

I'd say that the way Horikoshi draws and shades generally has always made MHA look like poo poo when poorly cleaned from scans of the toilet-paper that Weekly Jump is printed on.

AfO was already the Vader - had a life support suit and helmet and everything

Here's hoping Shiggy doesn't become the Kylo Ren

Shiggy was always the Kylo Ren, even before Kylo Ren was created. Grandson of a legendary figure, turned to evil by a heavily injured and shadowy villain at the head of an evil organization, whiny manchild... he checks all the boxes.

It's just that he's following the arc people expected of Kylo, moving to be more and more of a real villain, instead of... whatever happened with Kylo.

I get that AfO’s aesthetic was supposed to be Vader but he’s definitely more Palpatine if anything

Kylo Ren for Shiggy makes total sense tho
