Grappler Baki + Martial Arts Manga

^Shit forgot all about mentioning Riki-Oh, good stuff though the ending’s kinda wonky

Cuz Hagurou’s gone apeshit (beat and raped Chiba) and once he figures out that Inugami actually DOES care for the people at school, it’s gonna be ON.

^Beat, Raped, and Killed, but somehow, Haguro got some fucked up understanding that he and inugami are friends since Inu showed him and no one else his true form. Hence the apeshit rampages he’s targeting people with, it’s just a stupid angle on paper and in practice but whatever.

Anyways hoping for more baki uploads from sonikku but there won’t be a raw tomorrow, but rather a section detailing the build up to Yuujirou vs Baki.

Rofl…I can just see an 80’s style Haguro “My Buddy” doll, complete with commercial jingle:

High school stalker
High school stalker
I terrified his ass
but he just won’t let it pass
High school stalker and me!

^XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Trying to get in touch with Illuminati Manga on the status of Garouden(Jiro volume) but no luck yet, need something new since sonikku’s trans have been delayed lately

Fucking irony. Im reading Wolf Guy as well. Stay ouuttaa my fucking headd…

Ultra Red needs to be made into a fighting game XP

New Unchained Oliva(wrote here as Oliver) shirt from tomodachi:

edit:

Also found that Itagaki interview I asked about on Nicovideo, as well as the old Garouden movie(yeah you read that right there’s a vhs film), downloading both of them, wish I knew japanese to translate ;_;

For our japanese speaking guys who have a nico account(only way to view the vids) here’s a link to the page with the tag "garouden"

I’m really want to buy that Doppo shirt.

Shamo might get really gay.

crap

[details=Spoiler]Showing that he’s dumber than I ever thought, Ryo approaches Sugawara’s woman. She puts her arms around him and tells him what he has done… then she stabs him. Now he might die during/after he fights that jackass Toma.

C’mon Ryo. You don’t rape a woman and beat up her man which results in him being in a coma for a damn long time and let the bitch hug you.[/details]

You know it’d be 100x less gay if it stopped being in fucking litigation that it’s been in since 2008 I think. -.-

edit: @Stabby: Ichigo’s at it again. Now all of my guys who were here at the start of the thread remembers my little mishap with yanwanghokuto(who was outted as Ichido Reichan on ritualscanforge. Well he’s come out of his rathole again and is targetting Kotonoha, the guys scanlating meguru for us now.

http://forums.mangafox.com/showthread.php?t=152964

He’s been trying to get their releases pulled from Mangafox to get his put up, yet someone on the staff is smart enough to axe his shit, to which he’s started crying on the forums. :rofl: @ that yanwanghokuto guy ripping him a new one in the thread

luckily kotonoha’s been ignoring him publically, here’s hoping it doesn’t interfere with their releases, but it seems that rat is sticking his nose up wherever there’s a martial arts series his private WFP cult has that gets translated publically by someone else.

He is a shithead. I’ve been done with him and his drama. How do you get a frontpage interview on mangahelpers (easily my fav scanlation site), then get all your posts deleted and your account banned within two days?

Shamo is gay, and has been gay for a while.

Hunter x Hunter for life.

Ok, so i just started getting into Baki and i’m loving. I just had a question of whether i was reading it in the right order.
I read this first: http://www.onemanga.com/Grappler_Baki/
Now, I’m watching season 1 of Grappler Baki.
Am I going through this correctly story-wise?

Yup. Then after the anime, go to new grappler baki, then finally son of ogre.

I’m satisfied with JLPT. It’s really considered the highest. But maybe I’ll take the Biz one too, just for kicks. Tho, just because you’ve passed those tests by no means you’re really fluent in the language or can speak it well, just means you rather good at reading, I think.

No Baki this week, by the way.

Well, it would just be to increase your credentials, and it isn’t like it’ll hurt. But you probably want to take a break from studying after preparing for that test. Congrats again.

TBH, I’m lost with this manga. Did Yujirou accept that Baki is worth fighting? It can’t be winding down already, but the translations at 190 and the manga at 220, and nothing seems to be going on since Pickle left town.

The fight is set. The question is when. But come on the whole comic is hype for that one fight, so I wouldn’t expect it anytime soon, after all Itagaki has to eat!

^The fight is set, and iirc, the baki chapters from the week before last(since there was none last week), was just a timeline chronicling Yuujirou/Baki’s encounters leading up to this fight. Yuujirou acknowledged Baki as an equal back in NGB, he was just waiting for the results of Baki vs Pickle.

quick tidbits:

190 is up on sonikku’s blog

rawparadise called it quits in the wake of Shueisha’s announcement regarding that they’d start taking action against online manga scans, most of 90% of rawparadise’s traffic was from Japanese users, so they didn’t want to risk further action and just shut down.

still trying to find an alternative for baki raws now, but I’m sure the rsf message boards will still have them posted somewhere

also don’t think Itagaki’s in danger of losing money once Baki vs Yuujirou happens, He still has the Scarface manga(which he had put on hold since it takes place after SoO’s conclusion), also he could easily keep up the Baki Legends shorts that focus on single characters, there’s also his partnership with Yumemakura on illustrating Garouden, so I wouldn’t say it’s all quits after the final clash so to speak.

And he has NGB and SoO to turn into anime.

Sucks about raw paradise. Jump has a lot of people scanning, as well as some groups having private scans, but Baki is probably not going to get anymore. Mangahelpers figures that the note was mostly for the japanese audience so they’ll continue with business as usual until something comes up.

What I hate about anti-piracy things is that they put stress on the consumer instead of figuring out a way to do things properly. Movies, music, books-- none of them can come up with a solution so they throw these silly tantrums and demand that we stick with outdated formats. The only thing that makes me angrier is when they try to provide a service but come up with pricing based on their old model. Nuh-uh, that shit doesn’t fly with Stabby. I’m not biting until you come up with a better value than “free”

The scarface manga is written by some other guy, and I wonder if garouden might get canceled because it appears very rarely and is now in the back of the Evening comic magazine.
