I picked up my volume 19 yesterday. New pages inserted into most chapters, if I remember the old scans correctly. Nothing major, though. The pinup has Bunshichi in a turtleneck on side A, and one of Aya on side B which I've never seen before.

Agent_Wax

Fugu, when you are standing on a log bridge, you can only move forward and backwards. You are unable to move sideways or you will fall. He is likening the fight against a spear soldier to standing on a log bridge because you become an easy target if you try to approach by sideway movements. I comple...

Voldo is by far the most retarded, pathetic, & suck-arse character in Soul Calibur. His continued blight on the otherwise excellent series is a sad, sad testament to the nauseating & loathsome 'tastes' of his 'fans'. Or lack thereof. Come July 29th, I shall relish the opportunity to repeatedly smash...

Agent_Wax

Oh, how I long for the days when sensei designed and drew impossibly busty women instead of all this lolicon crap...

Guess I'll have to stick with the Hiroya sensei-designed Shura.

Agent_Wax

Does anyone have a ddl link that does not use megacrapload? Much appreciated.

Agent_Wax

Hmmm. I can't confirm until I get some high quality scans, but I thought that Maya is a ghost because of : 1). The mask. It's supposed to denote a female spirit. And unless Bun-chan brought it along when he raided Mitsuomi's office, I don't see where she could have gotten it? 2). I thought that only...

Agent_Wax

Jaysus Kerriisstt onna bike. Why the fark is RSF now using that absolutely shitty waste of domain name called megacrapload? That's the same as not uploading it in the first place.

Agent_Wax

Whoah, that's a crapload of delicious Maya nekkidness. Unfortunately she's not back. That's just her ghost.

Agent_Wax

Volume 18 also out, with a weird-looking AYa cover. The new UJ has an alternate cover for vol. 18.

MegaUpload = Bullshit Unusable Crap. "The download slots for your country have all been assigned" According to whom? If they just assign 1 slot to each country, then it will always be assigned and therefore they can always claim to be justified in asking for money. MegaUpload has been "unavailable" ...

Agent_Wax

Uhh, Mr Prophet lives in Talinn. It's been awhile since the news reported on the riots and cyber-attacks, so I don't know if the Russian hackers have gotten bored and given up. I'm not even sure if they still have working internet connections now after all that has happened. Even if he does, he migh...

The fan has nekkid Ancient Aya on it, not Maya. Nothing we haven't already seen, though the design of the fan is rather well-done. The pinup features Aya, Maya, Isuzu, and an overendowed babe I don't recognise, in bondage-style gear. Oh, and Volume 17 will be out Thursday. Asshat doing a Rocky impre...

The title says it all. Announced at Anime Expo.

Yes, it is obvious that Souhaku's current body is Shyoujyou's. About the finger thing, I think sensei and his assistants are never consistent about it. You see Souhaku's finger missing only in a couple of panels, and intact most of the time in the rest. It's probably just carelessness and/or indolen...

Agent_Wax

I'm ordering this issue because I want that privacy screen. Would've preferred one of MAya or Aya, though.

If anyone had told me that I'd be linking this one day I'd have said they were dropped on their heads as infants, but here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet Does no one think that Nokimi is Souhaku's agent in the school?

Fugu, 'Koukaken' is 'Hung family Kung fu'.

'Kinna', I think, is 'Chin-na', a pressure point grappling art from China.

Taidou's philosophy sounds very similar to the philosophy of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

Agent_Wax

No extra material for this volume. The cover is still as ugly in real-life, though.

Agent_Wax

I'll pick up mine today or tomorrow. Let you know then.

Agent_Wax

And his tight ship includes Emi's under the table deal with the archery club. Apart from Tagami things like honour don't really seem to mean much to the students these days. I guess it's a really thin line where matters of war and violence are concerned. But Emi's deal with the Bowgun club was a mi...

Agent_Wax

So you're fine with other bladed weapons such as swords, spears or Emi's hidden blades being used but a boxcutter is preposterous? Its still got a blade on it. Well, I might change my mind if somebody founds a bokusokata-jutsu style, but no, it's not the same. When your school allows swords and you...

Agent_Wax

WHAT. THE. HELL?! I was fine up to the armoured insect ninjas, but a sorcerer in his dungeon? A boxcutter stabbing (followed by a thinly-disguised penetrative rape)? What the hell happened to martial arts? If these are acceptable in the tournament, why aren't there a bunch of groups with machinegun...

My problem with the cover is that it looks like Oh!

Awful. That's what too much Air Gear will do to you.

Some notes: Shorinji Kempo is a Japanese religion-based martial art, not to be confused with Shaolin Kungfu from which it derives it's name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorinji_Kempo Arahan Seito appears to be based on Arai Tsunehiro: http://www.shorinjikempo.or.jp/wsko/instructor/araiss.html But ...

Agent_Wax

Thanks MrProphet. I'd just also like to extend Holiday Greetings and wishes of a successful and joy-filled coming year to one and all, especially to Fugu Hakase for all his great translations. Unpaid but not unappreciated, Fugu.

Agent_Wax

It's no trouble at all. That actually helps to explain things. Thanks very much for pointing things out, mate. We were pretty much baffled by it.

Agent_Wax

I don't believe that Soichirou killed anyone. I think what we see in the panel is Sagara's point of view of what would have happened had he been hit. His gang's reactions are what he imagined they would do after seeing him eviscerated. Everything is therefore in Sagara's 'vision'.

Agent_Wax

Nobody knows as yet.

Agent_Wax

Boobies.

I think Mits is in a wheelchair ever since he came back from "killing" Souhaku, he was already at his limit when he performed the double Forged Needle Attack, then he went on to kill Souhaku and punch Nagi. The whole ordeal most have lasted at least 10 minutes from the moment he entered the place t...

Agent_Wax

Ok. I just finished reading. This is what I think went down: Souhaku's eye is still in Soichirou. Either Souhaku can't take over his son completely, or he's lying dormant for some reason. Aya had to use the Dragon Eye to 'see' Souhaku's ki and hear him. Judging by his words to her, she struck a deal...

When I first took a look at that image I thought that the masked people were warming their hands, since that woman is so hot.

Oh Yeah. She's so hot she's radioactive.

Not that that would stop me warming my hands (and feet) on her...

Agent_Wax

Actually, if the eye had not been removed, why would Soichirou need to wear an eyepatch? But if it had been removed, what was that scene all about? :? Is Souhaku still inside his kid even though the eye is gone? And regarding Aya's hair, it's obviously intended to resemble her ancestor's. Perhaps it...

It looks like Takuan and Myoun are both hereditary titles. I thought they were the given names of the ancient arc Shyoujyou and Kabane.

Kujoe wrote: That thing that Masataka did where he was able to attack Madoka from behind Bob is actually quite typical of popular martial arts fiction.

What is it you do, anyway, Fugu? Programming? Translating? Teaching? Just curious.

Agent_Wax

I got my copy over the weekend. I'll probably take a shot at it if and when I have the time, since it interests me. But given my standard of Japanese, don't expect any miracles.
