This interpretation of Buddha is so wild, I hope we get to see Jesus at some point and see that framing.

RatHat posted:Shuumatsu no Valkyrie 45 Lol, puberty is rough. I wonder how this is going to end actually. This doesn't feel like it will end with a big slugfest but with Zerofuku and Buddha coming to terms with eachother somehow. I feel sad for Zerofuku.

Also we've established one of the themes of this fight Selfishness vs Altruism. So let's see if Buddha throws in the towel because of his whims or if he can carry himself to give humanity another win.

RatHat posted:Shuumatsu no Valkyrie 45 Trying to decide if this Buddha is fully in the "skillful means" zone, appearing as needed to reduce suffering, even if (and/or especially if) it runs counter to predisposed visions of how he should be. Or if he's just a glorious, tell-it-like-it-is jerk with a heart of gold. Either way I love it

I highly implore all of you to read Mato Seihei no Slave (the one where the Male Protagonist turns into a slave beast ridden by hot gals to fight hell monsters). It is really really Grouchio fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Apr 9, 2021 |

Supersonic Shine posted:I really like this new take on the fighters' backstories. This is the first time we've had fighters who knew each other before Ragnarok...well, one fighter who knew the other, anyway. Buddha almost certainly remembers Zerofuku, even if he's not letting it on; he made the exact same comment to Ebisu back in chapter 34 that he did regarding Zero in this chapter's flashback ("Puberty's rough, huh?"). That doesn't seem like a coincidence.

No no its definitely creepy. He gets transformed and powerboosted but gets a 'reward' (the reward is an ecchi scene) depending on how much he did. Its a harem manga with shonen fighty bits

it's still a fetish manga, except the fetish is femdom instead of literal slavery. so, kind of skeevy but not outright grotesque like the slave harem poo poo.

Tosk posted:My offering to this thread is a manhua with some of the best world-building I've encountered! The art is also very unique. I haven't read many Chinese comics and this one was pretty amazing to me. Random trivia from one of the author's notes - pretty sure he lives in Wuhan. drat caught up only to see the indefinite hiatus. I wish there were more cultivation comics with art this interesting, the only other one I kinda liked is Renegade Immortal which people mention pretty often in the webnovel thread too, but the art in the manhua isn't so great.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:it's still a fetish manga, except the fetish is femdom instead of literal slavery. so, kind of skeevy but not outright grotesque like the slave harem poo poo. Yeah, the 'slave' stuff is pure consensual BDSM roleplay that lets the slave in question (actually more of a volunteer intern) be a superhero and hang out with hot girls. It's just a fairly harmless porny action fantasy rather than anything seriously reprehensible. Still kind of weird for Grouchio to so enthusiastically recommend it to the thread, though, but Grouchio having zero filter is hardly news.

There's some obvious stylistic exaggeration in Out, but youth gangs really were large, well-organised, and insanely brutal back then, and the police really didn't give a poo poo (as evidenced by how hard and fast the gangs folded once the police did start giving a poo poo in the 00s).

WonDance continues to update and the loss of Mangadex hits here because this series really does demand a 2-page view. Thankfully the translators are using Cubari as a temp dump site [url=https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/4xxJpII/1/1/]Chapter 25 Chapter 26 And some songs to help people get into the mood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTjzcPFLEYY - (no specific songs) - Summer Dance Forever 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpKgueoAhSg - Baekhyun by UN Village - performed by Prepix Dance Studio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-lpVPu4nDU - Canned Heat by Jamiroquai - performed by Preston Senior High School https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mb76aRJxaw - September by Earth, Wind and Fire - Performed by 1Million Dance Studio I did a re-read of this current competition and Iori is a monster in his own right. The introduction of this rival B-boy and the house genre has been good for Kabo especially since the other guy isn't just some poser but a kid so dedicated to break dancing he broke his loving face which is pushing Kabo to really find his own expression through dance. And as always, the art is super good

Buddha is also considered one of "the gods" in this framing, remember how he had to intentionally change to humanity's side? where the other three are clearly on humanity's side from the get-go here, which definitely implies something about Jesus (and Confucius for that matter).

A lot of old religions were Henotheistic (all gods are real but my gods are best/can beat up your gods) or straight polytheistic, and you would choose who to pledge your worship to or worship as part of ritual depending on the circumstance. For many religions, especially in their historical context, it may not be contradictory, but it definitely is for monotheist religions. There was an awful lot of syncretism going on back in the day.
