When was it ever in doubt that it was the sun

It only ever came up when people started that imperial flag whining, so some tried to rationalize it's a flower or something.
It just a hanafuda card with added rays.

the backstory in this latest chapter feels kinda rushed to me. like the author forgot to do it earlier and realized they were running out of time

That's the whole current arc.

i'm not sure how the story could possibly justify it, but it would be pretty sweet if nezuko grabbed a sword and started fire dancing too.

Tanjirou learned just by watching and Nezuko might actually be talented.

Wow :sigh:

drat, I expected Nezuko to arrive like chapters ago but that's lol esp the giant baby. TBH, the series started to decline pretty rapidly the last few vol so I didn't expect anything but I'm still disappointed.

I will rmb the series for the highlights Shinobu, Inozuke, crows, Giyuu, and Butterfly manor.

Shueisha probably pulled the plug before the anime started and quickly jammed it back in when sales exploded, except it now has brain damage and will never be the way it was before.

Bleach didn't have a tournament arc.

Every arc was a tournament arc.

idk I think you're making a lot of assumptions here based on nothing. actually most of the complaints about this arc seem to be based on assumptions. like "well the series was cancelled and that's why we don't get character arcs for snake guy or whoever!". but where's the proof of that?

I don't understand getting upset over how you assume things went down in editorial or how you think the author will follow follow current events up

The manga has been in the endgame since December 2018 and the anime aired a year ago.
If the anime hadn't been such a huge hit and boosted the volume sales, the series would have ended last year. The Akaza and Douma backstories were mainly meant to postpone the end until the anime was done airing, except it blew up and Shueisha wanted to keep it's cash cow.

She has to leave to return to her family's home and won't be able to live as a Mangaka in Tokyo for a long time. It didn't mention her parents, just that she has some family circumstances.

Sounds like she's either pregnant or has to care for a family member.

i don't think literally everyone needed to reincarnate in the same town. it really detracts from the message of mortality being part of human life when the very next chapter is 'lol jk you'll live again eventually, nbd'.

Did any of the demons get reincarnated?

It's generally not eternal damnation and more they need to work off some of their debts before they can reincarnate I think though?

So I guess the demons will probably be reincarnating much later than the humans.

Buddhist hell has waiting times on the order of billions of years.

This has to be a trick to get everyone to throw KnY's ending under the bus.

Sharkopath posted:

Yaiba's ending is alright but I think the actual final fight was both really really long and didn't have as much emotional resonance as earlier fights so I was wishing for it to reach the end faster.

I agree that it is very suboptimal and has been for most of the inifinite mansion, but coming in here going "hohum, TPN sure gives KnY a run for its money" just looks like bait to me to make it look worse than it is.
