In a not so unrelated side of things, I wish that Oh! Great would finish Air Gear first and get it over with so that he can focus on Tenjo Tenge more.

As for how long will this manga go, I'm hoping that it would go beyond the 20s, but not past 30.

kujoe

I'm not saying I'm positive about it, but it might have happened. On page 20 of Chapter 79, Inue says, "Kengo-san, isn't living in cell boring? I'll leave this meat here for you. Do help yourself in the other way as well." On page 22, Souichiroui is opening up the coffin with Shizuru in it and somo...

kujoe

Indeed, the story can be confusing sometimes but after reading the older chapters a second time, it became clearer for me. Some people may think the story is a bunch of convoluted hogwash, while others could probably enjoy the story with all its layers here and there, but in the end, the main story ...

kujoe

By the looks of Maya, she isn't in a good condition herself. All it might take is one good opening for Tetsuhito to exploit, and she could be lying right beside Makiko... That is, if he survives a slash like that.

kujoe

Nah, Mitsuomi sure isn't the True Warrior of legend--and I doubt he even cares. He's pretty adamant about correcting his father's failures and the mistakes of the past. He seems to care more about his 1000 year War (or whatever that is..) than a title he may have or have not held onto.

kujoe

Mitsuomi was raised and modeled to be the True Warrior, though he didn't exactly turn out to be the True Warrior that Dougen had envisioned. Interestingly, what happened to Mitsuomi--with his father manipulating events and setting up a conflict between him and a monster (Shin)--can be sort of compar...

kujoe

I've thought about that along similar lines, but only in the sense that Reiki must have a significant part to play in the present arc. It may not have anything to do with Souichirou wielding it however. Personally, I think Reiki still has to tie in with everything that has happened so far--if only j...

kujoe

The first three minutes of a Bunshichi vs. Mitsuomi fight would be great indeed--anything can happen. But after those three minutes? Uhm, anything can happen too actually...but I'm pretty sure Bunshichi can survive those three minutes with his fists alone. The guy gave Fu a karate chop and it was pr...

kujoe

I wasn't denying that Bunshichi claimed a great victory. In fact, how the fight unfolded, and how he handled it all just makes his victory all the more impressive--and in some way, significant as well. I'm just saying that I won't simply deny that if things were any different, it's quite possible th...

kujoe

In terms of power and stamina, Bunshichi is king. He went against a guy who, technically, can see through every move and predict the future, yet Tawara still whupped his ass. True, but I think the circumstances of that fight provided him the chance. I don't think this downplays his achievement but ...

kujoe

Kago said that his reason for living is to give birth to a "1000 demons". Makiko retorts that she will in that case kill "1500 evil spirits". This sort of refers to one of the stories within Shinto myth if I'm not mistaken--so yeah, it's used poetically. As for the number of Dragon Gates, I wonder....

kujoe

The Enma arc was basically a filler of sorts actually. Well, it seemed to be one at the very least. But even so, the events in the latter parts led to more significant parts of the story--like the discovery of the chip, and Makiko losing another arm. I suggest you read up on it, and for sure, it'll ...

kujoe

Well, maybe she thought it would be better to use her weapon against someone who was equipped with one. When Maya discovered that steel wouldn't work against Kagiroi, she was already in the thick of the fight. PS Agent_Wax, you polluter of minds. 8) Aren't we supposed to have polluted minds already ...

kujoe

If Souichirou eats Tet's dragons then Souichirou can use Dragon Palm to heal her. That would also bring Souichirou one step closer to the perfect True Demon his father wants. With his dragon that powerful and exerting influence over him, we may finally get a complete Souichirou turn. That could set...

kujoe

Well, I do know one thing: When it comes to showing some skin, Oh! Great's first choice for a poster girl has usually been Aya. (That is, that's what I think. I'm not even going to bother listing down the number of times each female character was shown in her birthday suit.) Whether some trance due ...

kujoe

Not yet done with my downloading, but if I'm not mistaken, I gather that Kagiroi's left eye is either lost or injured? Kinda had the feeling that the eye could be Makiko's early on--as an important detail in the overall story. But now that Kagiroi's got an eyepatch, what now? Now that it's wasted or...

kujoe

Yeah, I understand what you mean--but it's F. I kind of expected it, though I admit as far as Kagiroi is concerned it does seem lamer. F seems to have no qualms about "cheating" that's for sure. On another note, this fight makes me miss the formulaic fight scenes that TT used to have. You know--some...

kujoe

Well, most of the F members so far have used some sort modified equipment--some being more direct than others. Mataza with his mechanical arms, Madoka with her sword whip and energy blades and Kagiroi with his own stuff. Even Ishiyumi had those things for his arms to enhance the power and force of h...

kujoe

Yeah, I'm also excited about the next-gen consoles too.

But it also sucks that I'm not a kid anymore, since I don't have as much free time as I used to.

kujoe

Congrats, doctor!

Work hard and party hard is all I can say.

kujoe

Well, if wanting to become stronger due to some semi-traumatic experience of having to take care of your beaten up mom is considered as being selfish, then hell... I think that's a good enough reason. Personally, I think all of them have 'selfish' reasons in one way or another--but they aren't exact...

kujoe

All I can say is: only Maya can make unsheathing a sword look that sexy.

And one more thing--it's a bit disappointing that Kagiroi resorts to "cheating" a bit. But then, such things don't really matter when it comes to a real fight.

Ok, that's all.

kujoe

Dogs? You mean the Dogs?! (as if there's anything else..) Oh my.

That's definitely something to look forward to.

And wow... look at Maya. That's how the anime should've looked like!

kujoe

Literally perhaps, there are differences.

But if you want to make a proper transition from Japanese to English and vice-versa, some valid interpretation has to be made.

kujoe

Anyone have a link to volume 2 cover? Title across her chest. Come on, most female super heroe costumes show more than that. And Kujoe the reason I didn't mention any of the ones you brought up, is because I was trying to just cover what was in volume 3. Pardon for replying a bit harshly. It's just...

kujoe

I wouldn't say that was water too, you know.

But that's also open to interpretation, though I wouldn't really bother.

kujoe

Well, as far as who the main rape victims in this manga are, I personally think there's only one: Chiaki. No need to explain this extensively, though I also think that if the author chose to focus more on her, there would be more implicit emphasis on her gradual recovery. Not to mention, it sort of ...

kujoe

Yeah? How about Masataka's "fuck Bush" jacket? Or even worse, Mana's scenes with Mitsuomi or the stuff Makiko went through? I would've hoped by now that DC would realize that this isn't simply about editing out implicit or explicit sexual content. Not to mention, that it would look strange when the ...

kujoe

Wait... the rape romp Tenjho Tenge?

Am I missing something here?

The writer is entitled to his opinion, and sure the manga is filled with classic Oh! Great imagery (if you know what I mean) but still...

Oh well.

kujoe

As one of the posters in Newsarama have said, the whole thing smells like damage control.

And it smells really bad.

It doesn't even seem as if CMX is truly responding to the negative criticism that has been hurled at them.

kujoe

Well, he does have a following among the girls at school...

But oh, if they only knew... if they only knew indeed.

Still, that shouldn't be the most important thing to consider in a realistic sense--but it's sort of ironic considering the comical side of Masataka's character.

kujoe

Er... what about Bunshichi?

Has he found the paizuri version of the holy grail yet?

kujoe

Hey, he can always have any of those shrine maidens to help assist him in some, uhm, special ceremony... or something like that.

kujoe

Actually, I kinda like Mitsuomi. Simply put, he's the most interesting out of the Takayanagi men in my opinion. And who says I was portraying him as weak? Simply because I think he too can get beaten up at some point? Or was it because I mentioned 'Mitsuomi' and '3 minutes' in the same sentence? Lik...

Nice!

Isuzu wearing bunny ears, strapped in leather... Makes sense, if you ask me.

kujoe

If Mitsuomi was such a calculated fighter, then he wouldn't be beaten simply because he gets 'shocked' that someone copied his move. Lamest excuse ever--and for someone like "3 minute" Mitsuomi even. No, he was beaten like a pulp the moment Shin let go--when Shin finally gave in to his fear. That is...

kujoe

Personally, I think it'll be more interesting to see a battle between a beserking Nagi versus an unstoppable Shin. No chance of that happening, that's for sure. I mean, the best red feather power that can beat the Dragon's Eye is arguably the Dragon's Fist... And at the same time, the best red feath...

kujoe

Dead men tell no tales, dude. Why do you think Souhaku orchestrated their deaths? You can't tell if X's dragon has been stolen if X is dead... It just feels so incrediblely written off--in the sense while people were being killed, Dougen was simply just there, fixing up the mess, probably chasing t...

Well, kinda... He gets thinner at the very least.

Oh! Great's style just changes as time passes by.

kujoe

I think he was accussing Shin. But then again, since Maya also knows how to do it, it's also possible that it had been stolen a long time ago.

kujoe

Thanks for clearing that up and providing your own view with regard to how things developed. Hmmm...

Fu Chien's dialogue just seems to immediately contradict Souhaku's previous statements especially when the whole thing is still quite unclear--and all of this within one conversation.

Granted, that's one good looking and well built block of wood.

That can only last for three minutes?

Uhm...yeah... ahem.

kujoe

...not literally full of that "ki", since it obviuosly went into Tetsuhito and he kept the eye in a jar. Yeah, I got that part but I'm referring to the conversation between Souhaku and Fu Chien--especially what Fu Chien says. I'm also wondering if Fu Chien is a bit contradicting here. First of all,...

kujoe

Just wondering...

If Makiko's eye allows someone who's not from the proper bloodline to use certain abilities due to the memory that's stored in it, does this mean that Kagiroi has Makiko's eye transplanted into him already? Or is Souhaku still keeping it somewhere?

kujoe

Same as it is now, who knew Nagi was eating dragons? Shidzuru didn't know why they wanted her. But surely a Red feather clan member who has lost his Dragon would've reached someone's ears. Even Shidzuru went to the mansion to avenge her brother. I don't think he started the "true warrior" stuff unt...

kujoe

You didn't say it but that's what we we're arguing in that post, so if not that I don't really know what you're trying to argue here, I wasn't. If you read my post a bit differently then maybe you'd get the idea that I was somewhat supporting that Souhaku was more of scheming and carefully planning...

kujoe

"something that big" ? Huh? What was big? All the Mawari's weren't killed just Madoka's parents. What becomes empasized? And it's not her POV, she's sitting next to her father's body in the picture. Dougen wasn't "gradually" deposed it was a coup de'tat. There was no "big" thing with the Mawaris, o...

kujoe

Maya was 10 at the moment, so I doubt that she weilded Reiki. Probably Kaima had it, or his relative (if Kaima had the Dragon Eye). Still, that doesn't explain how Maya couldn't have known. Moreover, didn't she let Shin touch it at one point? But if Souhaku was there, then the most simple scenario ...

kujoe

Full-blown war footing? OK I don't know where you get that, but I wasn't saying he chopped them up, remember as we've seen Souhaku can control others(and as we now see even Inue was with him back then) so he could have gotten anyone or had them killed in a number of ways(though they are chopped up ...

kujoe

I'm not sure about the murder part, since it was mentioned that Mitsuomi did some restructuring of his own. And where would be those guys who trained Nagi be if they all died? Aren't they in the same generation as Dougen? Or was Dougen referring to the clan heads before him? Well, at least we do kno...
