So Superalloy isn't black? He is just a Japanese kid who trained so hard he became black?

That's kind of uncool.

That being said I do like how SA acted. Cool development and even though he is scared he is still trying to protect and nurture everyone.

I think it's supposed to be the oil bodybuilders use during competitions? But yeah it's not the best look.

So Superalloy is basically the ultimate gym bro? Also I like how he pretty much instantly went "drat, you OK? Hurry up, pull yourself together, its dangerous here!" when Garou collapsed and he got imprisoned in the bubble. :allears:

I took it as he used so much bronzer that dudes wear for bodybuilding competitions that it permanently darkened his skin. Which is still very not great.

I thought it was implied somewhere that he used too much bronzer and became permanently bronze but I can't remember where or see it in the webcomic so I'm not sure.

I kinda thought he had just turned literally bronze, considering his name and sheen.

Been a while since I've read it and somebody correct me if I'm wrong but iirc this was the first chapter in a long time that was lifted straight from the webcomic with minimal (or no?) changes.

However, Superalloy Darkshine is a good lad who means well, and so is out friend Garou.

I also have to wonder about his hair loss. It just sort of happens without mention during his transformation mini-montage.

Sort of, this part happens when he's telling Puri Puri what happened, starts here:

So I uh... assume Super Alloy Darkshine is not the original webcomic name?

It's his original name, I'm pretty sure PPP is calling him dark-chan or something like that and the translator just uhh... was very dumb and chose poorly.

I actually thought this chapter improved on the webcomic by adding in Garou's perspective on the fight. Not to mention the double page spread.

Yeah Darkshine is just super tanned.

Perpetually a Pain.
Well, "tanned".



It's probably one of those 'borderline monster' effects, wherein his competition 'tan' became a natural one as he walked that border of monsterification, where his obsession and self-image altered his physical appearance in an unnatural manner, and he doesn't need the bronzer or a tanning bed or whatever anymore.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I feel it's half the bronze from 'tanning' to look more beefier, and half actually tanned due to being an active member of superhero society who fights outside.

Dope chapter, though, I want Garou to pin me down and scare me until he sees something he wants to protect.

The joke about how the scrawny Japanese kid keeps lifting weights until he transforms into Bob Sapp is definitely in poor taste but I don't think they're depicted as a racist caricature.

"Poor taste" was kinda my way of saying racist, yeah. Different countries are on different stages on the curve.

I almost forgot about Bob Sapp! My favorite guy who pop up in manga randomly. Next to cowboy George Bush when he was popular a decade ago.

I like that he had the same face in his super-bulked form with hair.

The real greatness is Garou backing down from ear pulling though. That's a great character moment.
