This week's Kill Blue was a lot of fun with the goofy horror tropes. I'm assuming this whole thing is a weird set up by Noren's family basically LARPing horror tropes for her friends.

Honestly a very strong week this week. Kagurabachi was solid. Centuria was bad rear end. Undead was cool and kinda funny. I love Shen.

I like Kagurabachi but drat do half the characters in play right now all look basically identical and I can't keep any of them straight. I know they're all like, the same family and in uniforms, but geeze.OnimaruXLR posted:I realize comics ain't reality, but is there ANY basis for this kind of thing in real life?

That scene where he first showed up and basically gave Shin psychic shock just by being there didn't seem like either of the personas we've seen.

About time, too ByeByeBye: I feel like this is the manga I expected My Girlfriend Gives Me Goosebumps to be when it first started Centuria: good chapter, especially with the MC just casually knocking out a bear at the beginning, lol Deep Raputa: this series is only going to get more and more creepy (derogatory) as it goes along, isn't it Kagurabachi: Nighthand posted:I like Kagurabachi but drat do half the characters in play right now all look basically identical and I can't keep any of them straight.

I think the ideal thought experiment here is what would happen if you could make the cut perfectly clean, down to a molecular level, and the rettachment also happened within a tiny fraction of a second (since I think we're supposed to assume this happened at hyperspeed). Like it definitely wouldn't just reattach instantly as shown, but I wonder if such an impossibly perfect and instant cut/reattachment could heal together if you perfectly bound the two parts together.

I think the main problem is the various connective tissue elements like muscle fibers, bone, collagen, nerve fibers, etc won't just magically fuse back together after being cut. It would take time for the cells along the gap to regrow the connections.

It would take time for the cells along the gap to regrow the connections. That's why I'm imagining an impossible perfect cut where it's perfectly secured/sealed back together afterwards. Could it heal back together in that case (since there's virtually zero destroyed tissue in that case, and the separation only lasts like 0.001s)?

There's no way to avoid severing those tissues and they won't just stick back together. If you made a perfect molecular cut on a piece of paper, putting the pieces back together wouldn't make them magically fuse again either. It's going to take time and energy (or super fast regeneration like Deadpool) for the arm to reattach. A clean cut will make it faster because there's less regrowing to do, at least, but not instant.

I'm a bit conflicted because on the one hand, it's great that the trio got to do something cool and beat the monster with a bit of teamwork. but on the other hand, the tree face guy is a much less interesting design than the big amalgamated wolf thing

The chapter came out a few days ago but… Wild Strawberry: I find exam arcs where a large number of recruits are expected and allowed to get slaughtered silly. It makes sense in something like HxH where hunters can choose to act as individuals loosely tied to the organization. But when you have a room full of people who are all working towards the same goal, killing most of them and just being like “well, they would have died anyway” is cruel and a waste. I’m probably giving too much thought to a meh manga though.

It's going to take time and energy (or super fast regeneration like Deadpool) for the arm to reattach. A clean cut will make it faster because there's less regrowing to do, at least, but not instant. I'm actually talking about giving it time - like if you could magically keep the arm and stump pressed together 100% perfectly for a while afterwards, with every single cell directly next to the cell it was previously next to. And I'm also talking about an impossibly perfect cut that could never actually be done in reality. The main difference vs the paper would be that cells actually would regrow and potentially reconnect. So with this "impossibly perfect cut" and "impossibly perfect reconnection" I'm wondering if it could hypothetically be reattached in just the time it would take for the existing cells to reconnect. (To be clear I just think this is a fun thought experiment, I don't give a poo poo about how realistic the cool thing that happened in the comic is)

I think Undead Adventurer had the best version of the exam arc since the entire exam was secretly being overseen by the guild who had their people stationed at various points in the test dungeon to monitor people to make sure they didn't die or try to do something sketchy.

To be fair, for Demon Slayer's case, there wasn't supposed an evolved demon that survived for 50 years eating new candidates. It was supposed to just be newly-turned Left 4 Dead Runner type demons.

I'd just like to say, Air Master and GetBackers... those were good. Well the anime, I still haven't read the manga. But I did buy a bunch of the GetBackers books at the time. Well I think the second season of GetBackers was filler-y and not as good, but still, was a classic. Being on the air circa 2003 was pretty good times in general.

And the only people sent to participate are those who spent years training for it, got their master's approval, and are told what's going to happen before they go through the gate. Not like that manga, where it's just "Surprise! Now figure out how to not die instantly!". Except Inosuke. He just kinda showed up with demon slayer swords and they let him in.
