Lol I was rolling, that speech was hilarious for me. He is pretty dang interesting, especially his relation with his own son not being one of hate from his end but morbid curiosity to see if the boy can challenge him, and how he treats jack like a redheaded stepchild
5 year old Yujiro: Ma I want some cookies
Ma: but son you just ha
5 year old Yujiro: I WANT THEM NOW! slams sippy cup through table crushing it THIS IS NOT AN OPTION!
Itās actually pretty good. Dude roams the southern countryside during the 1800s hunting down hellspawn while dealing with rampant racism.
It kind of reminds me of Berserk.
I was mostly impressed by the way black people are drawn in this manga. They actually look like⦠people and none of this Mr. Popo/racist caricature bullshit that ran rampant during the time this book was made; it was clearly ahead of its time in this regard.
Which is probably why it failed. One of the reasons I liked Baki was because Itagaki didnāt draw black people like monkeyish buffoons/good ole darky/idiotic thug(Tetsuya Saruwatari is good on this too), I mean I donāt think its that hard but whatever.
Would love to see it get a sequel, along with Ultra Red(Yeah HE, thereās no sequel, the series literally stops RIGHT at that point which is mind bogging, so it was probably cancelled but no one knows for sure.(Considering his series after that, Blizzard Axel iirc, ran for several more volumes, he may have actually intended to end Ultra Red at that point, which makes no sense but cool)
This must be the manga you guys are talking about. I might give it a shot but Iām not a boxing fan at all. There were some people who thought I was retarded for putting Baki and Kenichi over Ippo. :bluu: Thatās just my taste.
Ultra Red was canned. That is what quick resolutions like that mean.
But, he did (and still is, I think) Kongoh Bancho, which is a more shounen fighting but crazy. Really entertaining series, but translations havenāt been consistent.
Bewd, why is that page of Breaker significant?
Minoru is boring.
Waiting on new Toriko is killin me.
Iād put Kenichi over Ippo because Kenichi mangaka really loves his series, and you can feel that when reading. IMO,
Kenichi
One Piece
FAIRY TAIL
are the series where you can feel the most love from the mangaka for their work and characters.
Name some series where the moral is hard work and competent training can overcome genius/natural ability. Kenichi, Berserk (love, love, love, LOVE that scene), Ippo are all that come to mind for me.
@Stabby: Because thats very likely Goomonryong stepping out of that sports car, doesnāt seem like a title page so if it is indeed him that would imply heās possibly came back. Iām leaning towards it being him since the artists were sure to omit his face on that page
blech with ultra red, he shouldāve just ended it after the tourney then, just blech.
Stabby arenāt you forgetting about Nalto? :PPPPP
Ashita no Joe is another one, you can see that in the rivalry between Joe and Rikiishi
You mean scanlations right? I havenāt seen any new KB scanlations in weeks, and Iāve put it on hold until more come out.
Ultra Red was really cool, but it sucks that it got canned, if ever an OVA or anime is made for it I hope it continues the story and provides some good fights.

vicious stuff from Doppo, Tokugawa needs to put whatever his plan is into motion fast, if that dudeās not dead yet Iād be surprised >_>. Also an update over at Sonikkuās, look like Smoking has more left even though Retsu continues to KHTFO
Damn. Torn out throat, shattered pelvis/testicles, ripped out ribs⦠I know this book is notorious for people recovering from ridiculous damage practically overnight, but if this guy livesā¦
I mean the shattered balls thing alone would make me want to die.
