Did Adam teach you nothing? This is humanity vs gods, nothing more, nothing less.

Wasn't Ch18 out for a while?

Maybe in Spanish or Korean, but it only came out in English a couple hours ago with the usual TL group.

>Muh Nippon
It's Humanity vs Gods, not Countries vs Gods.

LIVESSS!!!!

MAKE PAPA ADAM PROUD SASAKI! STICK ONE IN HIS PROSTATE A D THE OTHER IN HIS ASS

why doesn't Poseidon just control water to fuck Kojirou up? why bother with all these martial arts move?

MEMORIES BROKEN

THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN

Because he doesn't want to lower himself to cheating.

A God should be above such things after all.

a god should be above fighting like the beasts do. poseidon should just snap his fingers and fill kojiro's entire body with water until he explodes and instantly win or extract all the water from kojiro's body immediately killing him

OH NONONONO POSEIDONBROS WE GOT TOO COCKY

After Adam lost, it doesn't look like it's even possible for a human to win at all. Maybe someone will win against some shitty minor god, but it seems impossible to win against Poseidon. If Kojiro wins, that will be a definition of NIPPON STRONK cliche.
I mean, Adam was the only superhuman with godly powers and was beating Zeus to a pulp, but still lost.

Gods can still lose by getting careless and making mistakes, which is why assume is what will happen to Poseidon once Kojiro gets a hit in.

Zeus tanked insane amount of damage. I don't see why Poseidon can't.

what irks me is that none of the gods has some sort of hax, and only resorts to getting into close quarter combat. Why didn't Zeus and Thor just zap the entire arena with lightning?

I love this manga so much, sure it's hammy and silly but the combination of drawings and hype is godly

This. I can't fucking wait for Simo Hayha and Rasputin matches.

When's his turn?

>Nippon Banzai the manga
Every other non jap will just job
There I summarized the manga

Do you think it is going to end with the phoned in "humanity loses but gods decide to keep them around because they proved themselves"?

humans lose but huamnity refuses to just let themselves die so it becomes humanity as a whole vs the gods.

I only started reading this, why the fuck is jack the ripper there

>it doesn't look like it's even possible for a human to win at all.
Lu Bu was just a stupidly strong human and Kojiro spent the afterlife training his skills. Adam went up against the final boss of the God's but that doesn't mean that no other human can win and if anything it's not impossible for him to win this fight because the past chapters have shown how he's both getting to Poseidon mentally, but also keeping up with him for the most part.

This isn't about Nippon Stronk, each fight has been parallels between fighters
>Lu Bu vs Thor: Two of the strongest people in their region find satisfaction in a worthy foe that pushes them to their best
>Zeus vs Adam: The "father" of the Gods fights the Father of humanity. The latter of whom unites the wills of his children
>Poseidon vs Kojiro: The haughty and prideful God vs the guy who's the most gracious loser in the world.

Kojiro is going to win this because he gets Poseidon to chimp out and open himself up once his Godly facade crumbles in the face of this human who won't go down.

If this was a Nippon strong manga, Xeus (a non japanese god) wouldnt be the king of all gods. I actually do find it odd that so many of the gods ar western.

It'll be a revote and they'll decide to have another fight in 7 billion years with some sort of sequel bait ending involving devils or some shit

why the FUCK would you side with the GODS. DID YOU NOT HEAR ADAM'S SPIRIT

My fucking god, it's STILL in Kojiro namek? Jesus christ

Buddha will either be the most evil by far or will retcon humanity's losses

Every fight being namek is part of the reason why it's good

The author is clearly playing on expectations with every fighter, it will be something both genius and retarded like Jack being humanity's malice or some shit.

Poseidon is hot..n-no homo

Rasputin is really going to suffer, dude's gonna be all perforated or win the fight with both arms cut off or something

user this is a good manga, an uterus eating faggot can't be some fapbait loli

At some point someone speculated Jack was a woman, right? I wouldn't put that out of the table in this manga.

I predict Rasputin vs Buddha
Something something the man who used the gods vs the man who became a god

There were a lot of theories if i recall. Some where they say he was a she and some where they say that he was a member of the royal family. In reality we won't know what Jack is in the manga, though im guessing it will be a muscly guy who gets a knife as a weapon or something along those lines.

>muscle guy
You just know he's going to be some creepy ass lanklet with sharp teeth.

Personally I'm hoping for incel manlet

That is also a possibility, I like yours better though. But with the stereotype of wonky as fuck teeth.

Could work aswell

he'll be a gentleman bishie nothin personal edgelord and it will be glorious watching the gods vomit in front of his antics

Anyone else who's into Rokt had to stop to laugh when it was revealed Lu Bu actually let himself be killed out of boredom?

Did the author make it up?

I bet hes going to be spring heeled jack too.

That's his second phase obviously

Lu Bu was as strong as he was a stubborn retard who couldn't into politics. His army got his shit kicked in as a result and he was sentenced to death because he had backstabbed everyone who had trusted him.
Keep also in mind rokt is a romanced and heavily biased version of the real history which also happens to be the only record for a lot of shit. So he most likely wasn't as strong as the romance claims.

Meant for

So basically the author will outright change the stories of these heroes so that humanity will be a bunch of dindus. Great.

The gods' side is a huge Greek and Norse wankfest after all.

>mfw if this ever got an anime it would be some netflix cgi bullshit

Attached: 1562272490925.jpg (720x720, 75K)

The portrayal of most people in rotk is more exalted, Lu Bu being wanked quite a bit. That's why I laughed when the author went even a step further with the suicide claim.
But I mean this in a good and endearing way, it's part of the appeal of this manga.

The author has changed the stories of every god/hero

Well duh, he made it so that Adam and Eve didn't actually eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge until Adam said "fuck it" and decided to leave Eden, but not before killing the snake. What else are you expecting? All of this runs on rule of cool.

I wonder if they do this because they know very little about the gods they depict, and thus have an easier time to add secondary background stories.

The real Kojiro just got paddled to death with an oar by Musashi but who cares. It's entertaining as hell.

Some people think Kojiro wasnt even a real person in the first place.

When are the next raws going to come out?

He's going to be Mercury or Loki.

ok so Ares was a bit retarded in the myth but does the author have to go out of his way to portray Ares as absolutely incompetent? Ares/Mars was still the principal god of the Roman Empire, one of the greatest empire ever created.

His design is also pretty lame. I hate that butt chin.

Which match up do you want to see the most?

I think you severely overrate Ares because even in his own myths he's not that great. Him being a buff poser isn't a bad thing in my book.

I don't mind Kojiro being the first win since his characterization is absolutely based, but i hope not all nips will win. That would be just blatant wanking. Also Tesla better win.

This is definitely gonna be Japanese wanking

I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt, the writing has been surprisingly good so far. Gods get good characterization and they're built up as overwhelming threats.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
FUCK HIM UP KOJIRO HOLY SHIT

Does anyone have a pic of the complete list of combatants?

If they plan to have humans win or almost win, surely some non-nips will have to win. How many nips were in the humanity's list anyway? 3 or 4?

>Re Volund
Could Adam and Lu Bu have won with it?

For Adam, only if it turned the Valkyrie into a pair of glasses.

4, but it's not just about non-nips winning, it's about how blatant it would be to have 4 fucking nips represent all of humanity, have some of them be literal whos, and then have all of them win on top of that

I don't think Lu Bu could have won no matter what, Thor was just too strong and durable. The clash of their ultimate techniques mangled Lu's body while not even scratching Thor. It was just a bad matchup all around. Adam was robbed.

While the nip wanking is bullshit, at least author was based and didn't include any negroes.

Thanks
>not wanting based Shaka Zulu

Of course when he's a nip.
>no Shaka Zulu
Not based.

Btw, bullshit that he didn't include Samson.

Wonder who the final fight is gonna be? Tesla seems amusing whats he gonna do shock the god? And the white death is there thats gonna be fun im sure. God thats alot of asians.

Depends, Kojiro's valkyrie specifically has this dual personality so damage to her weapon form doesn't seem as lethal as if it was the spear girl whose ability was breaking shields.

You know, I can accept Kojiro, and even Okita and Kintoki, but why the fuck is this :Raiden Tameemon" fucker here?

Well lets see. Asian. Check. Extreamly good fighter in his field. Check. Never actually achieved the highest rank in Sumo despite being more then good enough. Well thats interesting check. Honestly the biggest odd man out to me is tesla. Dudes a scientist. Nostradamus and rasputin are both kinnda weird but 10/1 says they are gonna be like magicians. My gut tells me the older sister is gonna die in the semifinals and the youngest sister is gonna become a weapon for the finals. Though thats kinnda obvious.

>biggest odd man out to me is tesla. Dudes a scientist.
He's far more important to human history then anyone not named Adam on this list.

Yeah, because OP GODHACK PEAK human barely losing to the strongest in the universe totally reflects that while DAINIPPONWARRIORBANZAI winning to someone leagues beyond him is just the concentrated form of that battle.

Your not wrong theres an argument for Qin since he is the first emperor of China but its a list of best fighters Tesla really shouldnt be on there. There are thousands of famous fighters tesla the serbian immigrant who got overshadowed by Edision is kinnda weird to me. Come to think of it I think the thing all of them have in common is they all were losers in a sense. Adam got banishd Lu Bu executed Simo took a shell to the face.

Ares is on the human side, because he hate Zeus. Also war is his food. Humans provide it.

>all losers
Kintoki wasn't a loser at all, neither was Nostradamus or Jack the Ripper.

youtube.com/watch?v=R6zdc0mnXGQ

More like most guys in that cuck list because if fucking adam was in there I'm sure there's a bunch of other humans that can actualy have a chance to BTFO of gods and demons in other mythologies.

>its a list of best fighters
In what universe are Nostradamus and Rasputin fighters? Qin was a king too, i'm certain there are plenty of better fighters then him. It's a list of notable humans who will get gimmicked up to be fighters, of course most of them are gonna be actual warriors.

Nostradamus gonna preddict every
move of the opponent and just kill him slowly. Dont know about Rasputin.

You guys forgetting Zeus was the final boss and fought the apex human.

His opponent just gives up.

>all losers
Holy shit we're into something here. Humanity will lose then someone will make a point of how all the humanity reps were, in fact, losers but that didn't prevent them from doing amazing things with their lives unlike the gods who take pride in being perfect and undefeteable.
So humanity will lose the battle but will survive. That can't be a coincidence.

Spartans.

>>all losers
See my post here

Nostradamus predictions turned out to be wrong, for Jack and Kintoki the author will take some angle like saying Jack actually wanted to be caught.
It works easily for everyone else and it explains some weird choices like Kojiro over Musashi or Tesla since he was cucked hard by Edison. The sumo guy over Sukune the father of sumo since that guy got denied the yokozuna rank despite deserving it and so on.

Why there no ninjas in list like Goemon or Sarutobi?

>missing out on earthquake machines and death rays
Probably just there to take on electric powers gods are abusing and turn it into 'free energy'.

GO SASAKI GO

i actually like how the author paints this basically unknown jap as a ultimate loser but the whole point as a human is that you can learn from defeats which hes experienced countless

Adam almost won.

we already have both the white death and jack the ripper we dont need more "assassin" types

Soon. His weapon would be his dick which he is famous for. After being possessed by a valkyrie it will elongate and Rasputin will use it like a whip.

Zeus' lightning isn't an ability, it's a weapon he uses. And he specifically said that he wanted to fight with his fists instead so the fight wouldn't end instantly and he could enjoy "crushing Adam's bones".

That would be Adam again.

The biblical Jacob, who managed to stand in a fight against god for an entire night
King David, the guy that's famous for killing someone stronger than him
Spartacus instead of Leonidas (Spartans are a meme, Spartacus was a good fighter and also a good leader)
Blackbeard the pirate, though he kinda overlaps with Rasputin as evil dude hard to kill
The emperor Quetzalcoatl, as a founder of civilization, and someone that put a stop of human sacrifices during his reign, therefore defying the gods in a way even before this tournament. (I assume that he was a strong warrior, since he managed to be respected despite that, if he was real at all).
Gilgamesh, despite the fact that Fate already called dibs on him, another ancient warrior, founder of civilization, and a pain in the gods' butt.

The Chinese and Japanese choices are pretty questioned, but personally I like the variation, since their heroes are cool and not so widely known, I bet that the Hindi must have some good heroes too but I don't know much about them. Buddha in the list of the gods feels too weird, I kinda hope that his fight is more of a test.

It's pretty funny that, if Adam had fought against the god he had to fight originally, his sharingan wouldn't have worked because the other guy had 4 arms. Also, I wonder what would have Adam done if he had to copy the moves of a god that used a weapon, I guess that he could have made his valkyrie turn into something else at least.

God Kojiro is so cute, please don't die.

Imagine if there was an Ethiopian Prester John crusader. It'd be fucking great.

Romans were big fans of Ares, Greeks were more partial for Athena
She was their godfu. Well, at least considering that she was the patron Goddess of one of the biggest cities, it makes sense that she was pushed into the spotlight more than Ares.

Is this manga one long tournament arc?

Attached: 1562361810791.png (218x217, 35K)

Show me where in the bible was Adam a fucking god destroying machine. The author could bullshit any number of reasons for Nietzche to be broken, like being immune to the powers of gods because he rejects them, or him being a literal ubermesnch who wills himself to power and perseverance.

Characters I wanted to include but couldn't:
Prester John, Genghis Khan, One of the Gracie family or other modern Martial Artist (GSP?), Ashoka. Info on non Egyptian/Greco-Roman/Japanese Gods is hard to find.

Did I do good? What would you add or subtract?

Attached: 1545491399285.jpg (1380x709, 234K)

King Arthur had crazy powers before having his story coopted by Christians, so the original King Arthur might work.
Sampson lost his god-given powers before dying, and he got them back just before his death, so, in the spirit of this manga, I can say him retconned into getting his strenght back by his rage at the injustice of God and the cheating of the Philistines, and be "the man that stole the power of God".
Moses is a bad choice, as he was basically a godly errand boy, however the pharaoh or the magicians that fought him could be good choices, if they had a name. David, Solomon or Judas would be better biblical choices.

Is this series any good? I stopped reading after Adam lost but I’m considering picking it back up now.

I don't know if the author is a genius or a hack, for asspulling all that bullshit for Adam from the line "he was made in God's image"

It would be nice if there were more evil people fighting for the humans, like Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death.

Rasputin will be all but immortal.

...

It's not boring enough to drop it, at least for me, it's a monthly highlight. I hesitate at calling it good, but it has its moments.

>Where in the bible was Adam a fucking god destroying machine.

Think of Lucifer Morningstar and Michael Demigure in DC who was created by God. His first creations imbuded with tremendous power. Same concept applies, the first being by god is a holy being. You can use that in a much more reasonable way to give him inhuman capabilities.

>Immune to the powers of god
So because you don't believe in god you can now not be killed by a god? That is retarded and what is even more idiotic is the idea of the ubermenshe powering him up.

He wrote this shit on paper, it won't manfest. At least Lu Bu and Sasuki Kujior are warriors with divine weaponry.

You are talking out of your ass.

Not many of them can be called unquestionably good, or heroic even.

Neither unquestionably evil. Mengele would be.

Also, it's a misunderstanding of Nietzche, he certainly didn't find any joy in the idea of God not existing, he was more about "well let's just all admit that no one really believes in God and we all tell ourselves that we do to not admit that the world is cold and uncaring". Him learning that the Gods exist and want to kill us all would make him despair even more, or probably he already would expect it.

>literal archangels are uber powerful
>so the first man should be as well
>So because you don't believe in god you can now not be killed by a god?
>what is even more idiotic is the idea of the ubermenshe powering him up.
The concept of belief and gods goes hand in hand. Clearly this is a universe where belief has power. Nietzche didn't just ''not believe in God'', he rejected the very notion of it. Same goes with his ''will to power'' philosophy. The fact that he's it's originator and that there are people throughout the centuries that became his followers could easily be used. Ideas made flesh. It could actually be done pretty well.

My point is that Lu Bu was basically a mass murderer and betrayer, they're barely heroic. Mengele would be harder to swallow than Rasputin, that's for sure, but he was kind of a meme, he did shit like try to breed monkeys with humans, he's hyped because, like the nazis, he appeared as a villain everywhere.

You can't really murder and fight for a living and be called good, can you?

Despite the nazi meme, Mengele would fit perfectly. He literally played god.

If you kill for the greater good, yes.

>this is a universe where belief has power
Considering that very few people still believe in the Greek and Norse gods, why are they so powerful then?

I didn't know Ilya, sounds cool. Manco Capac is the son of the Sun God according to legends, though that can easily be retconned since is debated if he was real or a legend. I'm pretty on board with the Pharaoh that stood agaisnt Moses.

I don't know, why is Lu Bu able to trade with Thor?

Well, if you're a warrior, at least technically you're only killing in wars, which are basically killing contests. Of course, depending on your behavior in battle, you could lean more to the side of good or evil. Lu Bu was a very dark grey, and even his version in this manga is a guy that fought for fun, so he's not like good, good. Obviously, still leagues over Mengele.

If the champions were all summoned together, I would love to have a nazi champion and some jewish biblical character sitting together, waiting for their turn.

Explain to me how Lu Bu, Adam and Kujiro needed belief with their powers? Lu Bu was a incredibly strong warrior, Adam was the first human and thus the divine progenitor and Kujiro was a master swordsman.

Compare those three. To a guy who wrote a book and rejected god. A thought does not spur power in this series. Tesla has the body of a man and the only thing he would get would be a divine weapon from the Valkyrie. In no way can he manifest a superhuman ability to be completed unaffected by the gods or even use the ubermenshe.

In your mind, if Tesla fought against Thor, his weapon would be ineffectual since any god like being, weapon or idea would be rejected.

Idiotic.

Considering Nostradamus and Tesla are gonna be fighters too clearly there is going to be some way for anyone to fight provided they're a big enough historic figure.
>Idiotic.
Eat me, cunt.

Or Jesus, the king of jews, as a God against some Nazi.

I don't really like the idea of Nietzche, but I feel that if that idea of belief were played into the manga, Nietzche would be the only one that went far enough with that idea to really affect the gods. Every other human holds to some lingering belief in something else, while Nietzche was the only one that completely stripped it from his mind. Everything about Kojiro is extremely bullshitted, there's nothing on his story to suggest that he was the best human scanner, he wasn't famous for predicting moves or anything. If the author wanted, he could pull that with Nietzche. However, as you say, he's a guy that wrote a book, I wouldn't really go with him, and sadly he's even more memetic than nazis now.

Yes, they jumped into it rather quickly to. For some retarded ass reasons aswell. Only real thing it has going for it is the concept of Gods vs Historical Figures but so far fights have been rather shitty, and we've only seen one good character but he died in like 4 chapters. Definitely not good, but it's a decent monthly time waster if you have nothing else to do or to read.

Nah, imagine the shitstorm that would come to this manga if that ever went to pass, specially if we're supposed to root for Mengele against Jesus. And more than the outrage, I would be afraid of people proclaiming that is good or deep for doing that.

I really wish that there were different kinds of battles, maybe with fodder gods, or lesser creatures, so you could have people like Napoleon or Julius Caesar who weren't great warriors but were good leaders and generals. Also, it plays against the gods, Poseidon fighting on the sea against some famous captain and his crew would be great, instead of Poseidon spamming trident attacks.

I'm dying to see how Nostradamus will be bullshitted into some move predicting guy that can see a few seconds into the future

Did you just say you wanted Poseiden to play battle ship with some famous captain? How would that work even? He isn't a general nor is a tactician. He is just a god of the sea.

A fighting tournament needs build up, so I agree there should have been a giant selection process and narrowing down all the people. Maybe a mini tournament to determine the 13 or something.

Well, at least Poseidon could have done more sea manipulation like that, not only having all that water around him for a cool entry.

Also, trolling seafarers was something he did all the time. Get some cool viking or pirate crew, maybe some famous marine or military diver, or even a submarine crew, who knows... with how hyped the gods are, having a bunch of humans fighting against one wouldn't be neccessarily unfair.

It is literally the first chapter and this is a fighting tournament. We just seen two close hand to hand combat fights and we have a swordsman on the otherside. Poseiden just drowning Kojiro would be a let down.

well you clearly are not even reading me, I don't know why I even reply

You said Poseidon should have more sea munpulation and my response is that any manipulation would be the end of a swordsman. He has the range of a few meters and you think chucking water at him would make the fight more interesting?

>while Nietzche was the only one that completely stripped it from his mind.

No. Also Stirner would be a better choice thematically because IRL he was a loser who lost all of his wife's money trying to sell milk.

>He has the range of a few meters and you think chucking water at him would make the fight more interesting?
please tell me where I said that Poseidon should use water manipulation against Kojiro, because I specifically started saying that, if they weren't limited to one vs one duels, both gods and humans could do different things

Well, that was saying how could it be played in the manga. As I said before, Kojiro is the loser of one of the most well known duels in Japanese history, and he was turned into the ultimate "learn from defeat guy". Far from me to say that he was the only atheist in history, but he could be turned into the ultimate "god denier".

Probably something like this?

John Henry isn't a great choice. Not a whole lot you can do with him as a fighter.
You're better off with Prester John or Shaka Zulu for a black character or one of those insane African Dictators.

If you want an American, Theodore Roosevelt or George Washington (and his like thirty goddamn dicks) can easily be converted into some hero. Or you could grab some soldier or MMA fighter from the past.

I feel bad for her, honestly the thing that hooked me with this series was her, the fact that she (and well, the rest of the valkyries too) took such a gamble for humanity with nothing to gain and everything to lose, and the fact that she had a plan that surprised even the gods (though so far none of her champions got a win). Even if the valkyries lack personality or even characterization, I can barely stand to see them die.

Honestly, Adam is still at the top for me. His entrance chewing apples, the incredible bullshit the author pulled to make him fight, and the fact that he got out more dignified than his rivals, really sold him out for me

Why did it have to be this tournament to death setup, instead of a team battle? We barely got to know him and he won't appear again until they're all revived at the ending or something.

Which human will get to wield Brunhilde?

Its that selflessness to them that gets ya. Pulls at your heartstrings.

He has a big hammer covered in blue fire and a clinically insane drive to prove that human power is superior to everything else. He doesn't have to be visibly ornate to be awesome or sophisticated as a fighter.

What is this format

This gotta be the hypest shit.

This is the manga that actually will benefit from a weekly schedule.

>Stirner joins the fight
>God attacks don't faze him because he claims them as his property
>He just declares the god a spook so he won't do his interest
>Seething Marx and Engel on the stands being tsundere towards him
>Eventually Stirner absorbs the god's power into his ego
>He talks shit the whole time
Imagine

Not really, waiting a month is painful, but then I like how long and detailed each chapter is. A weekly schedule where every chapter has to be a short romp and end in such a way it has to set up the next one would potentially hurt the pacing.

Thanks user, I needed that.

I guess no one told Kojiro that 2 sword style is for dealing with multiple opponents. Just like no one told the mangaka that Musashi beat Kojiro with an old oar he found on the way to the duel.

Damn i wonder how far behind we are in chapters. Hopefully we get the Kengan asura treatment and a group starts translating a chapter a day.

My one major complaint about the manga is in the crowd. We have humans side by side from all different parts of history right? So why arn't we having more interactions between them? Maybe during kojiro we could have different swordsmen talking to the nip swordmasters or during Lu Bu have other great warriors of history talk. Minor gripe though, the rest is great.

English releases are a week or so behind raws/Spanish/Korean releases, so that's what you may have seen people talk about, but it's always just one chapter for a few days. The current fight isn't over yet.

Sasaki definetly jumped up to #2 in terms of best fighter. #1 will eternally be our great father

Fuck, this manga really did peak with the Adam fight.

Ji Chang is an archer of Sino-Japanese legend who became so perfect at archery that he no longer needed a bow and arrow. He could glance at a bird and it would fall from the sky.

I can accept Kintoki but who gives a fuck about Okita?

Fujos. They were writing Shinsengumi fanfiction in XIX century.

I'm convinced the common element of every humanity rep is that everyone of them was a loser in some way.
It's a bit forced on a couple of names but I'm expecting the author to use some uncommon take and it does explain some guys who feel out of place.

That's great. I hoped that the Valkyrie's personality/speciality would somehow affect this fight. I was disappointed when Forehead Loli (Daughter of the Gods) didn't play any special role in Adam's fight with Zeus.
I really want Sasaki to win this one.

It's a personal burn for Poseidon, the rest of the gods we've seen can and do have normal relationships.

Doesn't help that the entire lineup is 90% nip wankfest

He didn't kill the snake, he turned the snake into a snake. He gave the snake fate worse than snake. That's another twist on the original tale.

How did Adam survive blows from Zeus when one panel specified they would all constitute one hit kills against a human?

adam is very stronk

He didn't survive though?

Might be that his Valkyrie made him more of a powerhouse. Not like it was revealed why she was called the Daughter of Gods.

I hope for either no anime at all, or for it being made only after the manga ends. If anime comes out, threads will forever be filled with "MUH LOGIC/POWERLEVEL"-fags, demanding to explain everything to them

This author is shit
not only he doesn't know any martial arts knowledge to make actual interesting fights, his selection of "fighters" are lame as shit.
Why the fuck are there so many non-fighters like Qin Shi Huang, Nostradamus, Rasputin, Tesla? I swear this manga will become Magical fights later on instead of manly fist fights.
Why the fuck are there 4 (FOUR) Japanese and 3 of them have same style (muh nippon swordmanship)? Kojiro is fine, Raiden is fine just because he's unique, but the other 2 are redundant and serve no purpose.
Where the fuck are actual conquerors? like Alexander and fucking Gajah Mada. Where are human heroes from Norse? It would be a perfect set-up for fights with Norse hero + Brunhild as the final fighter combi. Instead, he chose to do lame jap wanks.

fucking shit author.

Even though a lot of his suffering is self-inflicted. Ignoring that, he still doesn't get to participate according to the Manga's tournament rules. Valkyries get a pass since they do a fusion with the human fighters and Zeus didn't ban it even after catching onto their plan since it's more fun that way.

He said that the account duel was written 150 years after the fact and was full of shit.

Don't forget the hunter"chad". Now it's literally impossible to enjoy a Dr. Stone without them interrupting the thread since the anime announcement

How an anime of this would even work without waiting for the manga to end? The whole plot is the tournament, so it'd be really weird if they made an anime without actually showing how the tournament ended.
If an anime ever comes out, my only hope is that it falls in the hands of a studio with enough budget to give it good animation.

>The man known for taking so much damage that he is legendary for it
He didn't even confirmed dead, since his body wasn't found. And all his murderers are disappeared.

Like every anime that only covers half of a plot arc?

Most of these cases are isekais with a very vague main plotline, so it's pretty easy to finish things up after the first arc. In this case, however, the plot is very straightforward: there's a tournament and they fight, with flashbacks on each competitor's backstory.

You can do that with one of those shows that have the arc of 'lets kill the big bad', because you can staple on an ending anywhere really, but an oversized tournament arc needs a winner of some sort.

But Jesus is a half god, meaning he is an asshole on Zeus' team

Good dads put it all on the line to protect their kids.

End the first season with the first human victory. Plot around everything else, as needed.

things that never happened: the post

If you go by the Holy Trinity doctrine, you can claim that he has a split personality, Jesus as the human part can play for humans, and his dad can play for Zeus (well, considering that every god is real and the ones that threw Adam and Eve out of Eden were a council presided by Zeus, you might also go with a god that decided to make himself human, to include him in the rooster).

Or, you can just put him on Zeus' team, Jesus' description in the Apocalypse, with the "King of Kings, Lord of Lords" tattoo in the thigh, would be scary enough, and he's suppossed to come back to end the world. Still, putting Jesus on the bad guys' team would attract too many edgefags and fedorafags, I don't know if we want that.

call me an idiot, but just now I realized that the first guy in the human list is the kid from Kingdom

If you had to include a female character on the list, if only to not have it be a sausage fest, who would you include?

Julie was as far moer a badass than Kojiro is in the history books, all he was known for was dying to Musashi while Musashi used an oar. But like this manga said, that story is probably bullshit.

Well, samurai were an actually warrior class, Musashi and Kojiro were two characters from a time heavily ruled by violence. Julie was from a more civilized time, but admittedly, having a Zorro style fighter would be interesting and preferable to a serial killer.

>Shih I think is the best bet as she was a legit Pirate Queen and in these stories power=badassery.
The series seems to be trying to find a balance, using people genuinely good as warriors instead of leaders and generals, or people that were both things (speaking of the ones with military backgrounds). However, pirates ussually had a balance between being badasses and good leaders, at least the ones that got a name in history, since all the others died rather quickly, and any pirate leader that lasted had to be a good leader, since pirates didn't have any hierarchy and would throw troublesome leaders out of the ship. Joanne is kinda underrated, maybe it wasn't a great combatant, but you can't really get a spot in history as an illiterate peasant teen without doing something impressive.

J!

Bringing the gods immediately to the edge of the required wins sapped a lot of the tension out. It's also coming in on a fairly dull matchup: I would have been far more excited to see how the guaranteed win would come about at the hands of one of the less martially inclined human entrants. Not to mention the beginning of Japan wank.

Probably best if it went off the rails of the tournament setup. Not sure how they'd do that precisely (maybe while the tournament was going on, they figured out a way to mass produce near-valkyrie grade weapons for the rest of the heroes of humanity to use?), but the natural place to go would be for it to turn into an actual all-out war between humanity and the gods.

>Bringing the gods immediately to the edge of the required wins sapped a lot of the tension out.
how are 2 wins the edge of the required wins for a tournament of 13 vs 13?

yes, admittedly, the author knows how to create hype, even if he can't live up to it afterwards

Only ~50 or so years separate Kojiro and Julie.
