Haha, yeah. One thing I got from reading Wombs: Even though we've only seen short trailers about Death Stranding, it's easy to see how a story with fetuses being used as tools as one of the main plot points would be much more impactful if the characters were women. Kojima is consistently terrible at that, though.

God just imagine
ladies with babies strapped to them doing sexy dances half naked in the mud
Because thats something Kojima would do

Hey these are super traumatized people with terrible pasts being exploited as implements of war
surprise theyre all sexy ladies
now they're in skin tight bodysuits catwalking towards you in an empty white void
and when you take a photo they pose just for you

I dunno about the link between Death Stranding and Wombs, Death Stranding is about the sanctity of human existence, whereas Wombs is some kind of metaphor for colonialism.

Is death starnding the worlds most elaborate pro-life/anti-choice piece


Or did Kojima stumble drunk into a midwestern church's garbage and found inspiration in a half torn pamphlet

It is a problem with a lot of seinen having hyper-competent MCs, and their 'flaws' as being just too gosh darn competent for their own good, and conflict arises from other people/society rather than an internal conflict created by who the MC is and what they do.

Granted thats also a problem with a lot of adult-targeted media in other countries, but the visual language and story telling style and pace of manga makes this very obvious.

That is a very common and quite old narrative tool in detective stories, when the detectives job and the truth conflicts with their conscience.
Its an easy twist to include but the finesse is in the execution, it shifts the mystery into a character drama that involves the investigator as a possible accomplice, which is a chance to flesh them out more, and possibly set up a chekovs gun for later.

At least the mangaka stuck to the core concept of red headed norseman with a hammer, and finds the underlying mythology interesting enough that they stay relatively true to the spirit of it.

And I like how they dont bend over backwards to justify how all these mythologies interlink and they just do

As compared to fate/stay jack the ripper..... and fate/stay in general:ohno:

Yeah, but TBF I can't help but feel that some of the more obscure Japanese heroes they picked are less interesting historical figures than some heroes from other countries.
(Not Kojiro though, he's loving awesome.)

I guess the criteria was more "who is most interesting to me and can i make a cool rear end powerset and 'true history' for"

Yeah, considering that Hild specifically chose Jack to fight against Hercules and that Hercules is like, super likeable while Jack looks like first-grade Jackass, I'm betting that this will be a fight where audience and readers end up cheering for Hercules, but Hercules loses in an ugly way, to show that those fighting for humanity are not particularly nice either.

Well the gods show nothing but sheer contempt for humanity
Why should they pull punches.

Jack is going to fight so loving dirty and gods i cant eait for his 'true history' where he turns out to be part cogwork cyborg

I have no idea how the gently caress they're going to include Buddha in a fight. It just seems weird, as he'd either be WAAAAAY over powered or a complete pacifist who just freely gave humanity the win. But yeah, the interpretations have definitely been over the top, so I'm far more interested than skeptical.
Edit: Though Shiva has the potential to be the most insane. He has some...interesting stories, to say the least.

There are some non combatants on the human side so im guessing it will be a battle of philosophy.

Humanity bet on the wrong horse. Brynhild is worse than I thought. I assumed that she would sabotage any attempt at peace but not be so malevolent. Poor Hlokk.

I think Brynhild may be justified: considering the alternative is the annihlation of the humans.

But we dont know her true motivation, whether its out of genuine care for humanity or absolute hate of the gods.

Hercules should get called out at some point for voting for nuking humans despite professing to love humanity

High stakes Gambling is an entire sub genre now.
Though most tend to have a really boring MC and generic supporting cast. Usogui is partly great because of the jojo-esque insanity of the world.

Alwo ones involving female characters tend to be overly horny for no good reason? I unno

I like that point of Usogui though
At the end of the day theyre only gambles and its only through Kakerou that the results stick. Not all Kakerou gambles are death gambles.

When you have a powerful person willing to use violence involved in a bet, what guarantees they keep their word?


Kaiji also has a different aim, and spends a really long time in the actual games.
