It was fun even if it was muh glorious nippon winning
I guess since I'm not as butthurt about Adam as I was before, I could enjoy it, but I hope the next nipondin loses badly
Adam should have won but instead some literal who from Japan gets first blood.
>literal who
>Sasaki Kojiro
> muh nippon wank
I think people are being to harsh on the author for this, there's nothing wrong with Sasaki Kojirou winning the first match because it's following a narrative theme.
Lu Bu vs Thor was telling humans they couldn't rely on brute force to win.
Adam vs Zeus was telling humans even if they brought their best; random dumb luck could still turn the tables, plus the Gods will also play dirty.
Sasaki Kojiro vs Poseidon was telling humans that even the eternal loser can win in the end by humbly accepting each defeat, learning and improving. By not hating his opponents but rather loving them as brothers in the martial arts and incorporating their knowledge and skill until he became a fighter able to kill a god. Poseidon was the complete opposite pridefully isolating himself in his own superiority over everyone else. Pride before the fall and all that.
I'm not japanese but even I've heard about Sasaki Kojiro and his duel with Miyamoto Musashi, on the flip side I can't even mention a single non-japanese fighter who would fit the requirements to tell the same story told in the 3rd fight as European martial history is more about the generals, grand strategies and politics/politicians involved and not so much about the actual champions and their personal dramas.
Assignment; find a non-jap fighter who could've replaced Sasaki Kojiro and still told the same story.
Requirements:
1) historical accuracy not needed; can bend truth a bit to make it fit but must remain plausible.
2) champion must have died in a duel.
3) champion must have competed in multiple duels throughout his life.
4) champion must have been a recognized martial artist within his field.
5) champion must have been within a martial culture where you can mention several others who could've been chosen besides him (re-write the fight introduction to suit your pick).
and then argue why the Japanese author, being a wide history professor obviously, know about your champion and picked him.
Based
Nothing to add I'm convinced
Good job user
I agree with this. The idea of humanity's biggest loser being their first winner is nice.
However, nipwank WILL become a problem if every single Jap from now on wins their fight. I think that's what everyone is concerned about now.
>Poseidon loses
>Instead of last second respect fapbait shit for honoru faggots he goes down like the cunt he was from the start.
So did he just hate weak people and humanity in general? Because his brother he murdered was certainly stronger then most humans. I mean i like that he was a cunt until the end it has its own charm.
Its going to be Jack the Ripper.
The messages aren't that at all. Only Adam really had a message directly to humanity, the story of the fights are playing the traits of the god vs the traits of the human.
Lu bu and Thor were framed as the strongest people from their regions, ultimately they both found pleasure in meeting someone they could go all out against.
Adam vs Zeus was the father of humanity vs the leader of the Gods. Two people who stood at the pinnacle and ultimately giving humanity a uniting figure in the face of future defeats. There was nothing dirty about his fight with Zeus, it was an honest brawl and Zeus even neglected his thunder bolt and took his victory with humility. Nobody cheated, Adam merely ran out of steam and died on his feet like a true man.
You are mostly correct about Sasaki vs Poseidon. Sasaki was the eternal jobber who held all his opponents in high regard and learned from all of them culminating in him carrying the weight of every japanese swordsman on his back and reaching the pinnacle of their swordsmanship. And his valkyrie partner complimented his fighting style perfectly by allowing him to tap into his two sword style.
Poseidon was a loner who held himself as the most Godly and had no regard for anyone. Ultimately, Poseidon's loss was framed as his isolation from the rest. He'd never had a challenge, and he never had anyone in his corner. Even Zeus has his kids to root for him.
> However, nipwank WILL become a problem if every single Jap from now on wins their fight. I think that's what everyone is concerned about now.
wait with judging/bitching until after those fights are done, we don't know yet what story the author wants to tell.
>Lu bu and Thor were framed as the strongest people from their regions, ultimately they both found pleasure in meeting someone they could go all out against.
Yes, but being just strong isn't going to get you anywhere against literal gods.
The problem with being strong is that there is always somebody stronger.
Adam and Zeus both being patriarchs is a nice comparison as it reinforces Adams motif of being the equal to the gods/Zeus. Once Zeus went into Adamas it was an even stalemate war of attrition until either side broke down first, and the deciding factor was luck in Zeus' favor.
Adam fighting beyond death was just rule of cool spiced with tragedy being the worlds greatest dad.
> playing dirty
I could have phrased that better, I was meaning the part where Zeus takes Shiva's place, whom Adam probably would have won against.
"At least this shit is finally over" kind of good
Yikes neck yourself my man
>but being just strong isn't going to get you anywhere against literal gods.
I can agree to this mostly. lu bu was supposed to be the strongest human but he was a wild child and not a tactician. Outside of Adam no other human should be as strong as Lu Bu, but there are a couple fighters who are still known for their strength. There's a Japanese guy who is supposed to be strong like a bear, and Leonidas is also on the roster and he's supposed to be a strong fighter as well.
The difference is that strength must be tempered with tactics. Lu Bu and Thor basically just walked up to each other and swung on each other. And lacking Adam's godly body Lu was more likely to break after such blows.
Manga is dumb as shit but great fun.
I’m going to guess that for the next fight the authors intent will be to make Heracles the sympathetic character and Jack the inhuman monstrosity, flipping the premise on its head
why are u guys mad about the japanese guy winning ?
the autor obviusly is trying to appeal to his jap readers not some faggot from overseas
Good feels my man
>why are u guys mad about the japanese guy winning ?
It's a small group of shitposters who have been wanking on about japanese fighters doing good since the fight with Adam and possibly even during Lu Bu once we got the roster. Just ignore them. The more attention you give them the more emboldened they become
Terrible, made me drop it.
I used to be concerned about it but after seeing this arc I'm not; Kojiro was amazing. Most of the other japs aren't even swordsmen, and I can't imagine all of them winning.
I just wonder what kind of wizardry Tesla is going to pull. And how the fuck Rasputin is going to fight.
>And how the fuck Rasputin is going to fight.
He has weird magic powers and can't get killed.
I'd like to see him get killed in the most brutal ways possible and recover from them immediately while complimenting the God for fixing some incredibly minute problem he had with his body
Who are you guys looking forward too the most?
> yfw no leonidas vs heracles
why do even bother ?
Fuck im looking forward to all of them especially on the gods side
It just had to be Poseidon, one of my favorite gods, that loses. Oh well, I'll stick around for Aphrodite's tits.
Sakata Kintoki actually.
I want to see what shit the author will pull for Anubis, Beelzeboy, Tesla and Nostradamus
>no hitler
dropped
>Qin Shi Huang
What's he gonna do, drink mercury at the gods until they die?
Three Greek gods in a row feels like a bit much, at least their side will have to be more varied from the fifth fight on.
Thank you user, very well said
I love you bro
It feels good that we're moving on. Felt nothing but apathy for the fight because we knew the conclusion right out of the gate. Doesn't help that the fight in itself was just slash vs stab until the dude that slashes could double slash, but all around all the fights have been bad. This one being the worst dude to how predictable it was. So yeah, feels good that we're moving on from it. Wonder who the next dudes will be.
Is Thor a Greek god?
Pretty sure that user meant Zeus, Poseidon and next fight Heracles being three Greeks in a row.
Oh man, my mistake then. Didn't know fucking Heracles was next.
Yes, which is why I said "from the fifth fight on". Not that Heracles should be similar to Zeus and Poseidon though, it's certainly a lot better than getting Apollo right away.
Heracles vs Jack the Ripper.
Title?
Shuumatsu no Valkyrie or Record of Ragnarok.
Shuumatsu no Valkyrie - Record of Ragnarok. Have fun and prepare for old-school uber-manliness.
It could be worse, Keisuke Itagaki could be writing this. Only then will you know what nipwank looks like. There wouldn't even be any non-japanese historical figures in this tournament.
I'll be fine with Kintoki also winning and I'm currently neutral on Raiden winning (it'll depend on how the fight is written), but I'll call bullshit if fucking Souji Okita wins. It's not even a cool member of the Shinsengumi like Hijikata.
Lmao somehow the glorious nippon shit never bothered me on baki, yuujiro for example just seems so "otherwordly" but you are right
Herc vs Jack is the next? Did I miss a raws thread?
>Sexier dual wielding than Mamako
Just a page advertising the contents of volume 5 past the end of Poseidon vs Kojiro.
I wonder if its possible for a human to become a weapon like the Valkyrie. It would be interesting if a Valkyrie wielded Jack as a "weapon" of humanity because of the negative traits associated with him.
I hope the author doesn't make Jack the Ripper into some edgelord twink. Imagine how shocked Heracles would be if he's told that he's facing one of humanity's deadliest serial killers, and then out walks this average-looking Victorian gentleman who just gives him a hat tip and an "'ello guv".
Problem is, how would an average Victorian gentleman fight a demigod?
>plus the Gods will also play dirty.
Kek the fact that the gods only fight in melee instead of 'lol get zapped' means they have sealed a huge portion of their powerset. Human also has Valkyrie so they could actually damage gods otherwise they would be hurting themselves when they hit the gods.
Poseidon could have drown Kojiro for easy kill but he went for melee instead. Also Kojiro was 400 years old, living a much, much longer life than any normal human.
The manga already has HFY as the core idea in the first place when the author nerfed all the god and buffed human. Like what the hell Shiva is a junior god to Zeus?
Simo, oh man
Zeus is just there as a stand in for the big G.
I see
The August chapter isn't out yet, right?
Leonidas wasn't really a powerful fighter compared to any particular spartan, he was just their king. Also they were a bunch of pedrarasts.
Also I know the author is a nip who somehow doesn't know much about western history apparently outside of what he saw on TV but for real with say, Nostradamus?
Why not King Solomon wielding Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar? Or Roland wielding Durendal?
That last fight scene was hype af
There is a lot he could've picked but not much point In bickering over it desu. I would think that Audie Murphy or Alvin York would've been better than Simo and I'm a finnaboo
Shiva gay
How would a roster with an actual humanity's strongests look like ?
Heracles (divine) vs Heracles (human). That would be a riot.
>Unparalleled in all of existence
So fucking great.
This manga really knows how to build up hype.
>2 more nips left
Oh fuck off.

There's 3. Okita, sakata, Tamee
Anubis. Greek gods don't get enough exposure in manga.
I'm fine with the nip winning. I'm not fine with Poseidon dominating and then getting cheapshotted at the last secnd by shounen memes. It was a good fight thematically, but shit in terms of execution.
>Anubis
>Greek
NANI?!
That would have been fucking brilliant really.
Thanks for the spoiler
this
How are they going to handle Heracles really? He's both god and human. Wouldn't be surprised if his conflict is an existential crisis or split personality.
Just reading this post convinced me to pick the series up.
I'm more shocked at Jack The Ripper being on there with humanity's best, I mean seriously dudes best feat was killing a couple of hookers.
Anyone with an IQ over 12 knew he was winning, seriously dude?
who
He was never found out.
He'll end up pulling some Aizen tier shit out of his ass and reveal he wasn't dead after the fight and was actually one of Aphrodite servants all this time and break her neck while hell breaks lose.
I do wonder if they'll go with him being a psycho that killed women for pleasure or something different, I wonder if he'll even be able to synchronize with his Valkyrie, she might end up being disgusted by him and Volund won't happen until later on.
Simo
I powerfully desire to see some modern military shit.
As for the Gods, I want to see Beelzebub because for sure he'll be fucking badass, but I also really want to see Buddha just because I want to see what the hell Buddha is going to do.
It sets up some kind of retarded screwjob where a bunch of random incels get slaughtered but since nobody found out who he or she was it could be everyone or nobody and you can't kill an idea maaaaaan. It would have been funny if his opponent were Buddha but whatever.
Shit, neither was the Zodiac but i'm guessing we're going with the most famous, not the most efficient.
Cringy, vomit-inducing baki ripoff
This version of musashi cries and acts like an emotional bitch
Audience synchronized dancing directly ripped off from baki
>Cringy, vomit-inducing baki ripoff
Can't be a Baki ripoff, the nipwank isn't on the level yet.
I'm sure there's a dude out there who has killed even more but cleaned up nicely enough so literally no ones knows of the events if we're going for the "Fate assassin rules" shit
Tesla can win, Yay!
Pretty serious
just came to post this
daddy
>that sword saint
Is he based on a real historical figure or are there just many similarly designed characters in Japanese fiction?
You mean Muneyoshi Yagyū? He's real
Result of making hystorical character spam
>Cringy, vomit-inducing baki ripoff
You tried and failed during Kengan Asura. Nobody cares for your cheap bait here either.
Still waitin for the virgin vs chad meme.
Hector would of probably worked. There is more believability that he existed than Adam. He exists solely to be beaten by Achillis(who is a demigod himself) and was the greatest warrior in Troy. Though his fight might be a whole lot like King Leonidus. But I think it could of worked.
>no Hindu Heroes
Go read the Mahabharata and then reevaluate your list
Kinda surprising Sigurd didn't make it considering he was Brunhild's husbando.
Curious about Nostradamus, like what will he do? Predict the future?

>Thinking it's about bringing humanity's best
The line-up is composed of losers who still archieved greatness

Most Mahabharata's most powerful characters are half-gods, so they would count as full gods in this manga universe (if Heracles is any indication).
Still wondering if you're like Siddhartha, then you can ascend to godhood.
>no Diomedes
>no Sigurd
>no Beowulf
>Fucking Jack the Ripper
Why can't nips do research for once?
Change the future into his predictions.
Anyone else think the crazy faces loose their impact when they happen constantly? I think they work well on characters like Zeus and Loki, but it just gets weird when used on characters that otherwise seem normal. I feel like it should be a gods only thing, as a way to reinforce their inhuman qualities. Right now it just feels wacky.
It would have become a fate rip-off.
Note how the human side besides brihild doesn't do this.

Forget it, i forgot to account for the first chink figther.
The other Chinese dude with Lu Bu does it too.
Easy.
Arthur and Hektor are the two western examples which come to mind straight away, although arguably Arthurwank would be worse than Nipwank at this point. Don Quixote would also be interesting, although his "death" was metaphorical.
Make some really good jam and then tell them they can't have any
Then it would be a visual repeat of Adam (old and strong God versus twunk supreme/not physically impressive)
I like it, give me the Hellsing vibe
What the fuck is Okita gona do?
She was just a random comander from a group of police officers and died in bed of sickness

user...
Was just about to say this. Hector was based as fuck.
No matter what anyone says, this was bullshit. Kojiro was able to see thousands of moves in a split second on the verge of precognition and was able to cut a god who has light speed feats if we are scaling him from Zeus?
Do you know how utterly bullshit that is? Kojiro is old and instead of his age playing a factory, muh nippon wank put him at a level no one else on the human side will match.
This is pure ridiculous bullshit. The mangaka wrote himself into a whole by jumping straight into the fights with no fucking buildup on the gods or humans and their experiences so when bullshit happens you got anons scrambling to make sense of any of it.
Achilles?
I mean its not like Westerners care about stuff in the East all that much.
His valkyrie will turn into scalpel, and Jack will cut tendons with chirurgical precision
No way, a manga about human vs god in a mortal combat is not realistic? Oh the humanity
>Nostradamus vs Odin
>Instead of a fight it's a game of Mahjong
>instead of points they wager their blood
zawa..
And Lu Bu being able to cut the skies in 2 seemed realistic to you?
Bro cmon
i hope the jack the ripper gets killed by a female serial killer and she takes his place
>yfw Elizabeth Bathory is found drinking his blood and her weapon is a pair of fangs
>complaining about realism this late in the game
Just shut up and enjoy the fights. This is superhuman territory and always has been. This isn't even "turn off your brain lol" territory. Each fight establishes and explains how the humans have super strength or abilities. And myth is taken as fact as a baseline.
That didn't happen though Lu Bu's reputation was so great people imagined he could split the sky in half. Legends are always augmented through the generations by people misrepresenting the information.
it was flashback of eyewitness, Chen Gong
Imagine the boos and Insults when Siddharta comes out since he was once fully human
It literally did happen in the manga. OBVIOUSLY it’s not a true thing that happened in our reality, but that’s not the point you fucking moron
It's not a realistic manga, you autistic virgin
>That didn't happen though
>And myth is taken as fact as a baseline.
Welcome to fiction, enjoy your stay.
>She
Best saber face got stuck on you.
Its literal fate "the myth is taken as truth or even exagerated even further".
I want to see Beezlebub vs Rasputin, if only to see the ways Bub will murder Rasputin only for him to revive. I want them to become friends afterwards.
God I just want the rest of this fucking manga.
Roland is only known for getting killed.
Nostradamus is known for everyone and a good counterpart with Odin the all seing god
But only this jap manage to get the freedom to train and age even after death. Are you really going to tell me that only this guy right here who is also a jap is THAT SPECIAL?
>Don Quixote would also be interesting, although his "death" was metaphorical.
And he never existed
He will fight like Joseph and predict everything the opponent thinks
>But only this jap manage to get the freedom to train and age even after death.
Why are you complaining about manga you don't read?
This series is starting to feel pretty weak to me. It seems like whichever character has more effort put into their character design is going to win each round.
Maybe the nips will adapt jack the ripper well for once but I doubt it.
Fates fake Kojiro aside this was the worst Sasaki Kojiro I have ever seen in manga and anime but this panel still is fucking amazing.
The first two fights were unpredictable. This fight was predictable as fuck. It's fucking shitty since everyone with two brain cells knew he'd fucking win with how the author has set it up.
The nip wank was a bit much and it dragged on for way too long. The other fights were more entertaining.
Also anime in a year or two for sure
I feel like this kojiro would totally manhandle fate kojiro even if fate kojiro moves at super sonic speed.
I expect Simo and Apollo will have a sniper battle in a large open area and the audience will watch it on a screen.
Anyone else bummed Poseidon didnt summon a kraken or sharks to attack Kojiro while he gracefully cuts them into ribbons ?
Gods dont have supernatural powers in this manga or they dont want to use them in the tournament?
Because Poseidon ended being a dude with very fast spear thrusts only
Neither did Adam, Lu Bu or arguably Jack the Ripper. Don Quixote makes the pretence of being a historical document.
Zeus had a time stop punch.
>Lu bu
>not existing
Adam is as grounded as the gods, Lu bu existed I believe evrn when turned into a mythical character and Jacks crimes were very real
Don Quixote on the other hand is neither real or mythical
>whom Adam probably would have won against
I honestly rather doubt it. They seem to be playing up Shiva pretty highly in terms of ability and ruthlessness. Zeus didn't go all out from the get-go against Adam, whereas Shiva likely would've.
>They seem to be playing up Shiva pretty highly in terms of ability and ruthlessness
Shiva stepped down to an aged and shrivelled up Zeus purely because of intimidation. Even his challenge to Zeus was then glossed over. I have no doubt Shiva is strong, but Adam quite literally hard counters anyone who goes into a match with just their fists so Shiva would need to bring out some AOE damage to even stand a chance in my mind.
It cannot be overstated that Adam stole and copied ZA WARUDO purely because his eyes are hax. And most of the damage he did to Zeus wasn't even with the hand with the valkyrie knuckleduster.
>gods win
>wtf bros humans were pretty decent after all, let's let them live
>So did he just hate weak people and humanity in general?
He said it from the start of his intro. He's godly in all regards and that means he's a complete asshole. Humans are beneath him and gods that step out of line are too.
I'm gonna say Bruce Lee motherfucker
>Heracles on God side
I mean okay sure, he got elevated to godly status at the end. But he was still fucked over by gods all his life and was worshiped as a human hero, not god. Having him and Zeus on the same team seems kinda redundant. Could've went for something zoroastrian or aztec instead. (Unless his whole shtick is gonna be giving up the fight for humanity.)
Haven't read it but is there gonna be a Guan Yu vs. Guan Yu match?
why not Cu Chulainn at that rate
Poseidon was set up to lose so hard it was too predictable.
Are there any scans without the unfunny meme-filled translations? It's ruining it for me
Okita is going to feel fucking underwhelming when compared to Kojiro who became the culmination of all swordmasters.
I have a feeling he will be dual wielding a sword and revolver or something.
Most probably he was a FGO sucker that googled the backgrounds of historical and mythical figures alike and went hey what if these guys fought each other?
So the one who takes damage first always wins.
Orgasmic.
bruce lee is to recent in history to bend the facts
Will it be possible to surpass Adam in likeability?
I want to see Simo's design.
I half expect Jack to counter Hercules' surrender by deciding he wants to fight for the gods instead and refusing the aid of his assigned valkyrie, allowing the fight to happen with switched sides
Same, I really hate when translation teams try and be funny because they're really just not.
Thanks dad!
Place your bets for next round.
Lu Bu definitely existed but he got the Guan Yu treatment where they over-hyped his actual involvement in any conflicts for narrative potency.
Ok Yea Forums I will read it, give me 1h.
Jack plays the heel for all of humanity, Herc tells humanity they can be better then any god.
Who can animate this series without it looking like pure trash? Hoods?
At least baki is well written and drawn with good character designs
Adam is shitter and deserved to lose, Lu Bu should've won though
I think it's amazing how the author has created such a loveable character in 40 pages, though if the literal who Sumoringer wins his match Im gonna drop this shit faster than
Sumo > Adam
Tesla vs Beelz
Hitler was a weak little bitch
>no Alexander
Conquering 1/4 of the world is not enough these days
It's REGEND!
Okita vs Susano'o, who wins?
I don't want it to get animated because it's going to ruin the threads and nobody can do it justice
And imagine the religious death threats thye would get
There's no Muhammad, nobody would actually care about the dieties in this series.
The only ones from a religion people still follow are Buddha and Adam. Buddhists don't give a shit and christian zealots typically don't even know what anime is
He just needs to make 2 of the 4 nips loose at the tournament, then I´ll be cool with this
Okita and Sakata lose and Raiden should win
I don't care how much wank Raiden gets. Sumo is cool and I want to see that guy win.
How much do you like her?
Can I have the manga name please OP
No sauce. Ever heard of google-search newfag?
Here you go, Google it you lazy cunt
read the thread retard
Even then, he managed to eye-hax his way to carve a god up with his hands like he had swords during his flashback with the snake.
He never even needed the Valkyrie to begin with.
The selection of gods is good but what the fuck did the author think when selecting the humans? Also why the fuck does Adam exist but the christian god doesn't? It was awkward when Adam appeared and they wanted to build a theme with zeus representing the creators of adam and the author tried his hardest to never mention god.
I think Zeus is meant to be the stand-in for YHWH, considering how his first appearance outright says he's omnipotent and omniscient. Not sure how they're going to explain Beelzebub, the other demons, and the angels, though. Were they made by Zeus, too? And what about Christians like Rasputin and Nostradamus? Who were they really worshiping?
There is a pretty interesting theory regarding their choice of humans in the fact that they are all losers.
Lubu was caught and executed instead of dying in battle.
Adam was rejected from heaven and eden.
Kojiro was a loser swordsman.
Tesla had his lifes work ripped off.
Leonidas was overrun failing to hold off the persian army and all his men died.
Raiden never achieved the greatest rank of Sumo.
Simo got his face blown up with an explosive round and missed the rest of the war.
Jack is the most famous serious killer who no one actually knows about, after all "Jack the Ripper" is just a name the papers came up with that caught on.
I'm expecting the gods to win 7:6 and gloat their arses off about beating humanities best until Valk reveals that she picked a bunch of absolute losers and they still went 6 wins against the heavens mightiest.
The wife of the God he fights poisons his opponent cause Rasputin gave her that mystic D
>beelzebub
>heaven
THE FUCK?
Christianity dubbed him son of the devil. He was just another semitic god that Christians demonized.
Greek gods were all cunts, no clue why anyone would like them
>no edge
Fuck you~
The author has especially rewritten the loser part of Adam and Lu Bu. Lu Bu wanted to die because of boredom and Adam left paradise out of his own free will.
Kojiro was the only one with the loser theme and the author has rewritten Kojiro in the way that him losing was his greatest asset which was honestly kinda retarded but whatever.
Hey, Hades is just a chill guy that kidnapped his waifu.
Why does everyone think Heracles will be a chill guy? Was he seen already?
I love my wife Brunhilde!
>Roland wielding Durendal
You mean Charlemagne wielding Joyuse, right?
>picked a bunch of absolute losers and they still went 6 wins against the heavens mightiest
A slap on both sides.

I miss him, bros...
Literally the only good fight was Adam vs Zeus. Lu Bu vs Thor may be forgiven for being the introductory fight but Kojiro vs Poseidon was just lame. Poseidon was the fucking lamest opponent till the very end and killed the entire fight for me.
Literally ever character has gotten wanked during their fight why is Kojiro the only one people whine about?
Go back
The Gods are stronger than humans, but they don't really seem to have superpowers in the way that we would think of them.
Or at least the human fighters are so powerful that they are able to resist/negate the Gods' powers.
He's japanese and some posters are hyper sensitive to japanese characters doing good in a japanese manga written by a japanese person for a japanese audience.
Only good thing in Adam vs Zeus was just Adam. The fight in itself was just a punch rush until Adam jobbed out.
Can't see Hogan doing any of those gods any favors desu.
And yet it still had a more interesting fighting choreography than the other two battles. The first battle was just a straightforward test of strength and Kojiro vs Poseidon literally only had the Tsubame Gaeshi. The rest was just about predicting moves even faster and faster which was completely retarded.
Name a more kino moment
To be fair, fistfights are super easy to choreograph compared to other fighting styles
...
...
In my opinion, Adam's fight should have been pushed further down to at least 4 or 5 with humanity having lost 2-3 of those preceding. He's got to be a rallying call for eveyrone in a time of despair and he's wasted coming directly after Lu Bu which was a really lackluster fight.
Imagine how much everyone would hate Adam if he was Japanese
I also think this about Kojiro vs Poseidon too since the whole theme of the match was, "Biggest loser vs God that even other gods fear".
Pretty much this, i still like the series but is hard to the author to top a fight like this one
Let's not deny that the author was very lazy with the first battle. Lu Bu had the advantage in speed and a way more agile weapon, a weapon that was unsuited to compete with a giant ass living hammer in strength to begin with but the author forced the battle to be purely about might and unleashing your super special move.
Kojiro and Poseidon left conceptually not much you could do with it I admit.
>Let's not deny that the author was very lazy with the first battle.
Yeah, battles of strength are always lazy, there's literally nothing you can do with them, even if fistfights are simple and easy it's still better than that.
Maybe he feared cancellation seeing how he prematurely ended the first fight and immediately went with Adam vs Zeus.
It's just that Zeus talks about how he can't feel any hatred towards the God's from Adam and there wasn't any in the previous fight either. Lu Bu and Thor were being moe towards each other because they had a fun fight. Even Sasaki didn't have any animosity towards Poseidon it was strictly business fighting against him.
I'm still invested in this, and I understand it's a monthly series so they are probably considering how to keep readers invested. Having 2 or so straight losses that weren't on the same calibur as Adam would definitely turn away readers because I don't think many people would want to just see humanity job constantly. But they kind of blew a really poignant moment of humanity's literal father coming down here to protect his kids and get everyone united under his banner.
It feels like this is the kind of series where I'm going to constantly be questioning the order of matches since the writers didn't give a concrete bracket in the beginning.
Dunno, I feel like his fight had to happen this early. He was the ray of hope humanity needed, making every win from this point a lot more impactful
Where do you think all the human fighters are? A locker room in Valhalla? Do you think we'll ever get to see them interact?
>Dunno, I feel like his fight had to happen this early.
It goes both ways, I don't know how the series is going to pan out so maybe it will turn out to be a better idea. Time will tell
I thought they get summoned during their time when they were alive when she's choosing who to send to the next fight?
Im not mad at the 4 japs but I am peeved that the western choices all feel off. Only Leonidas and maybe the white death fit as greatest warriors off all time. Given the crazy amount of choices the author had picking people like rasputin is weird. To say nothing of obscure choices they could had picked even obvious ones like Arthur or Achilles. I also find the inclusion of beelzebuib and buddha strange. Im kind of hoping for a tie somewhere in there that could be cool.
Here is a list I thought up, I really wanted to include a Muslim hero of some sort, but I couldn't figure out where to put them.
I tried to get at least one hero and/or god per overall 'cultural group' (if there is such a thing)
I might switch Baldwin for Charlemagne, but the idea of a Leper-King of Jerusalem is hard to resist.
It feels like he just chose people off the top of his head and these were what he came up with because he's Japanese and doesn't know much about western civilizations. Simo Hayha is the only exception
I was influenced by some other lists I saw, so its probably similar to some others you've seen.
>Musashi Miyamoto
Adam was the only one completely asspulled. He shouldn't have had any powers at all to be honest. When I think about the best humanity has to offer I think about people with peak mastery, people that honed their skills all their lives.
It was a fucking joke that Adam motivated humanity when all his powers were gifted to him by the gods, it was not his own strength that got him this far. Even in his backstory there was not a single mention that he honed his craft, it was all given to him with his existence. How were the gods even surprised if his abilities were created by them? With the other humans I can understand that they exceed expectations as they have build mastery that is well beyond superhuman.
This is another manga series with writing that cannot be taken seriously, it's just purely for surface entertainment.
Wouldn't Son Goku be called Sun Wukong? I know that's what the Japanese call them but he's Chinese and the gods should be called by what their own people call them
Not that strange. If your average joe could name any soldier from WW2 the white death is first to come to mind. Googling his real name aint hard after that.
Which one is Brunhilde going to fuse with? And what will her weapon be?
Sasaki was great, but if we are talking 'the greatest of humanity' then I want the undisputed best from what people know of them, not the author's subversion.
Probably, but the other Gods aren't called by their traditional names in the story either. I could change it I suppose.
Brunhilde is second to last fight. She loses and dies. Her youngest sister has to fuse with the last fighter.
This series will become pure bullshit the moment we get to non warriors like Tesla and Rasputin.
I don't like this Musashi version, prefer the Vagabond one
Tesla gonna zap ya gud. Rasputin is gonna be immortal or some shit.
>why wasn't the first human, who was selectively created in god's image and made to be as perfect as possible, shown "honing his craft" of literally scanning a god's attack and learning it perfectly
pic related, retard
>how were the gods even surprised if his abilities were created by them
How the fuck do you even speedread with a series this short? His powers are literally explained within the first 10 chapters.
I've always liked the more subdued Musashi myself (been planning on starting Vagabond for years at this point), but at least SnV/RoR is somewhat original in its depiction of the guy.
>Tesla fight starts
>He enters with the the machine he claims he could have built that could split the Earth in two
Baki one is the best and surprisingly most accurate.
Buddha's alright, but I agree that Beelzebub is a weird pick. The author should've gone with Michael the Archangel desu, who's crazy powerful if you take all his different religious depictions into account. Then again, maybe he wanted to break the cycle of nip authors wanking the archangels.
>It was a fucking joke that Adam motivated humanity when all his powers were gifted to him by the gods
The G, not gods fucking retard.
And he's not here now is he
>Tesla fight starts
>Edison walks out
>Baki one
The fuck i thought Baki is about modern martial art?
this mangga is stupid i should have been chosen over stuipid telsa
They clone him and put his soul inside of it
I don't seek for an explanation, retard. It's thematically just complete bullshit and if adam was created as a perfect image of god he would be a god but he is the first human. He should represent human abilities but he was suited with god abilities.
It's such bullshit that Adam is pretty much the first person in this manga that uses godlike abilities in battle while everyone else is just supremely averagely fighting a down to earth melee battle.
It would have been neat if he actually did choose someone from alive right now but it's understandable since it'd be hard to sell that he could compete with godly beings.
>Simo Hayha
What the fuck is he gonna do? Snipe the gods?
>t. Edison
Its about as bad as it sounds.
B-But muh realistic martial art
It was good it just had a long stretch of wanking Musashi that didn't need to go on for nearly as long as it did, the motobe part was some of the best stuff in the series
Adam motivated humanity because he's our literal father whose sole reason for fighting was protecting his kids. It doesn't matter that he's got powers beyond humanity, he's our dad and he's a cool guy. And he died on his feet raising his fists defiantly towards the heavens and got the respect of everyone assembled.
What more needs to be there?
>It's thematically just complete bullshit
And the theme is?
>It's such bullshit that Adam is pretty much the first person in this manga that uses godlike abilities in battle while everyone else is just supremely averagely fighting a down to earth melee battle.
Did you miss the part where it's explained that the only reason the humans even stand a chance is because they're using valkyrie-infused weapons, retard?
>4/13 fighters are nips
>And the theme is?
Humans vs gods.
>Did you miss the part where it's explained that the only reason the humans even stand a chance is because they're using valkyrie-infused weapons, retard?
What has this to do with everything? It was even stated that the gods are as powerful just because of their divine weapons. The valkyries are just evening that advantage out.
But protect your garbage series. Protect fights where Zeus doesn't use thunder and Poseidon doesn't use water but Adam uses the sharingan and Tesla and all the other non combatants will use fucking retarded magic bullshit too while the supreme gods will hold all their abilities back like the shit writing of the author suggests.
Imagine taking this manga seriusly
Miss you and love you dad
Madhouse
>Humans vs gods.
That's a premise, retard. Even so, Adam is still a human since he was literally created as the first human.
>It was even stated that the gods are as powerful just because of their divine weapons.
this is your brain on speedreading
>But protect your garbage series. Protect fights where Zeus doesn't use thunder and Poseidon doesn't use water but Adam uses the sharingan and Tesla and all the other non combatants will use fucking retarded magic bullshit too while the supreme gods will hold all their abilities back like the shit writing of the author suggests.
this is even more of your brain on speedreading
Goddamn papa is hot
The problem with the choices for human fighters is that most mythological heroes are part god (Achilles, Cu Chulainn, Gilgamesh) or were granted their power/authority from gods (Sampson, Arthur, Mwindo). It's better to pick historical figures and exaggerate their stories to the extreme.
>Protect fights where Zeus doesn't use thunder
C'mon dude
>2019
>being an edgy kid
Lmao
Simo and Tesla, curious about hoy that would work
Didn't the author say that he'd be revealing Simo's design soon because it won in a poll? Will that be next chapter?
>It was even stated that the gods are as powerful just because of their divine weapons
No, it was stated that divine weapons are cheats. And then Zeus proceeded to not use one and demonstrated that he can punch at speeds that eventually are equivalent to stopping time, and his blows are devastating enough to kill a normal mortal on contact. Shiva likewise has no visible divine weapon. And Poseidon's weapon didn't make him fast, he was already that capable physically.
>Protect fights where Zeus doesn't use thunder and Poseidon doesn't use water but Adam uses the sharingan
This is your real problem it seems. The God's aren't fighting the say you want them too and that pisses you off even when it's explained why certain God's opt out of using certain moves or capabilities. That's a problem nobody can fix but you honestly.
2019 is the best time to be edgy, it went out of style a couple years ago, so being edgy now is a throwback to an older time.
>He can turn invisible
>4/13 gods are greek
Are you fujo? He's a generic twink
Thor used lightning
Zeus froze time and each of his attacks was described as a one hit kill in his diamond form
Poseidon is a cocky faggot, him not using magic on some small fry in his eyes was in character
Anyone else have a feeling it'll come down to the humans losing and Jesus is gonna come out and tell all the gods to sit the fuck down and fuck off?
>Implying Jesus care
Not really, author would probably bring in old testament god if anything. Christianity is too soft to fit the setting.
Zeus basically fulfills the Abrahamic God's role already. Most he'll probably have is Michael the Archangel during the Beelzebub arc.
I'm assuming GOD, capital G, exists, and that he's on the next tier above the gods, lowercase g.
That being said, it's pretty clear that the author is deliberately avoiding that, and frankly I'm glad because it would definitely ruin the story.
Why do nips only focus on shiva, buddha and sometimes indra as characters from india? And non one from india as representative of humanity. Could've used manu or yama as patriarchs of mankind. They better than adam in sense that they are patriarchs of every Indo-European culture.
Because most people don't care or know about the gods and heros from India.
He obviously hasn't done any research for this series and is just going with what he knows, which is what everyone knows, which is the most basic and boring approach
>No Andrew Jackson
Too bad. He really deserves to be there. I'll always have respect for the guy for actually being one of the few people in history to actually effectively screw over the (((banks))).
At the very least, there could've been an American fighter for the humans. Maybe not Andrew Jackson, but Abraham Lincoln would be great since he's always been memed as the strongest President.
>Inb4 Tesla
Look, I know, he's Serbian-American, but I'm talking about someone who was actually born in America.
>I'm talking about someone who was actually born in America.
Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Jim Thorpe.
>Jesus is gonna come out and tell all the gods to sit the fuck down and fuck off
Given that Zeus was the chief god and Shiva was a bitch to Zeus I doubt Jesus could do anything to tell the gods to fuck off.
>He hasn't read Revelations
>implying the author is following myth closely
jack the ripper vs literally any female goddess
Lincoln was apparently one of the best Wrestlers in the American West back in his heyday. Theodore Roosevelt would be another great choice to satisfy the Ameriboos.
Looks like he's in chapter 1 as well
At least it's not Aztec myth where mankind got created and destroyed 4 times already.
that's just aztec cope
>our shitty civilization got wiped out four times must mean everyone else did too :DDDD
Holy shit he's there?
That's better than every other civilization who got wiped out once and were never able to come back from it
>not a single woman combatant
wtf
>Jack the Ripper
Many buddhist/japanese dieties are hindu in origin so it shouldn't be that unfamiliar to them. Although by placing Buddha with gods one shouldn't expect much from the manga.
Yeah, seems like it. We refer oursleves as 'man' because of manu/mannus. There's no better candidate as patriarch of 'man' than him. Christian myths are way too overused.
As it should be, women can't fight dumb roastie
>Womyn can't fight in this series with Valkyrie magic powers
Pretty sure any female goddess can slap your inbred ass
RASPUTIN
>most legendary american fighter
whoever this nigga is
youtube.com
fought a fucking balrog
t. got rejected recently
This implies that YHWH got beat up by Zeus at some point in the past.
I doubt the author but that much thought into the powerlevels since Zeus emasculates Shiva
Tesla and Jack for me. Tesla because how the fuck is he going to fight when he was just a scientist, and Jack because it's always fun to see how people interpret a person that is literally unknown to all except the victims. Anything else is likely going to just be powerlevel wanking, but these two will be the wild ones that come out of left field.
Quetzalcoatl no Huitzilopochtli...
Everyting else is alright but would change Belzeebub for Baal
Just reminds me of all the off screen god fights that happened.
Will Tesla fight at all? What if he just plays a game with Loki
>What the fuck is he gonna do? Snipe the gods?
Tell me how many people survive getting shot in the face.
Not if i fuck them in the asses first, checkmate
Simo Hayha can.
That would be amazing.
Simo Hayha unironically.
You people are overthinking this.
Japan hates Tsunamis
Poseidon causes Tsunamis
Therefore Poseidon can go to hell
Why do you think One Piece dedicated two whole arcs to shitting on fish people? Fuck the sea when it's not behaving itself.
OMG, look at this loser. Based translators ftw xd
Jack: Women are one thing. Little strumpets. But kids? Those, I never had the nerve to gut. How'd it feel, Herc? I've always wondered. Died wondering. How'd it feel to murder your own child?
Sengan Asura anime flopped so hard that its barely mentioned in our threads. Just give valkyrie to Netflix
Wait, what if the god Jack the ripper is supposed to fight is murdered and Jack doesnt show up?
The Red Baron
I wanted a Dragon, so I got a Dragon.
We already got a Blue Man.
Christian here. According to Bible, Satan(and all demons btw) wanted to create his own world were humans had free will. And this is basically his sin and why was throwed out of heaven.
He is basically good guy for humanit but as Bible was written to strenghten rulers grip over population he was denounced
Netflix doesn't really make anime, it either buys them out of Development Hell, or just seemingly hands off Produces them.
KA was apparently in production for several years at this point - so behind the scenes there had to be some massive fuckery.
What if it's the Philistine Beelzebub?
Still better than Order of the Stick
>Therefore Poseidon can go to hell
Ba'al-Zebub? What's he gonna do fly around?
So Baal? We've already had two storm gods.
This. Fucking killed himself the autist
>manga follows trope of a nip winning
>everybody tells others to not bring it up
SUCK THAT FUCKING DICK
No Aztec gods either and those fuckers were far more brutal than 90% of the gods in this gay ass manga.
>Belzeebub for Baal
Same person. Except the author got it wrong. He was Baal originally before Christianity turned him into Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelz. Author is a fucking hack.
Nobody has said not to bring it up we're just saying stop being a little bitch about a Japanese comic for a Japanese audience is going to have a Japanese focus like how comics from other countries have a focus on themselves
Exactly. Now he knows how not to mess up.
>nobody said not to bring it up but don't bring up the trope!
>don't point out thing!
My god you fucking imbeciles way to miss the point. BACK to batoto with you!
>Battle shonen cannot be original because ME LOVE NIP DICK!
GOT IT NIGGUH
I didn't tell you not to bring it up. Learn to read.
This manga wouldn't suddenly be original or good just because it made Kojiro lose
It's cringy as fuck and is an overused trope. Hermes wants to look like some mastermind so bad with that shit
Chinese bugmen aren't human so it doesn't count. Especially not actual human garbage like Lü Bu and Chen Gong
you're trying too hard
Should have been 1 human per major countries, imagine the strongest indian shitting on a god.
>strongest indian
>shitting on a god
eheh
Strongest poos are all from poo mythology which is fanfiction-tier and they're pretty much all demigods. Apart from Adam and Kintaro, the rest of the human's champions were real men
All mythologies are fanfiction-tier
>imagine the strongest indian shitting on a god.
It should be a god from a white mythology just to make poltards like seethe even harder
>le pol boogeyman
fuck off poo
gottem
Why would you act like a poltard then yell boogeyman when called out?
Besides this chapter the manga has been looking amazing. I hope the weird side mouths this chapter aren't going to continue. Sometimes it just got way to noticeable like pic related
My favorite part about the manga is the gallery of people from all ages watching, i hope we see more of them
>That Medusa
Imagine all of the Victorian peoples faces when they finally see who jack the ripper is
That reminds me, who the hell is notably related to Jack the Ripper?
Like someone else posted in the thread, it's probably going to be him alone and humanity being weird out or afraid of him and reluctantly cheering him on. Either that or just a bunch of Victorian era detectives and police on the sides
I wonder if the author will shoehorn Sherlock in there despite him not being real or some shit.
I can see sherlock being in the gallery
Did medusa like it? Poseidon raped her after all
When does user get to compete?
And die horribly? You go user.
I don't think you can shitpost a god to death
Imagine.
You could wrote the same story with hector vs achilles
Tlahuicole, like half of all Iliad/Argonautica/Mahabharata/Ramayana heroes, Cu Chulainn, Ferdia, etc.
That said I like Sasaki as a figure so I'm fine with this. Would love to see more non-nip cultures get some of their badasses in though. William Marshal would be my pick for the European Knight archetypical figure.
Only in some versions
> Beelzebub is a name derived from a Philistine god, formerly worshipped in Ekron, and later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon.
>yoinkd
so who's he gonna fight and how they fight without it being completely retarded or bullshit
Was it a unanimous vote to wipe out humanity? Cause I know even the rigged vote against Eve had a .01% vote in favor of her innocence. I would be curious if any of the gods still hold favor with humans.
>the human crowd has two men who look the exact same
>also an old man wearing goggles who has an irregularly large head
>and fucking Abraham Lincoln in the background
Every fighter is a woman aslong as they are using the Valkeyrie.
Freiherr von Münchhausen would've been the strongest human if we are going by that rule
Ravana from Ramayana.
Karna, Abhimanyu, Drona from Mahabharata.
Middle-age Indian Warlords and Chinese warlords from different dynasties who fought in battle.
Any mongol warlords from the lineage of Chengis Khan.
Death Ray
1. Shiva
2. Bishamonten
3. Buddha
4. Simo
>how would an average Victorian gentleman fight a demigod?
Glass that cunt of a god
Sharingan!!!!1
C'mon bhai, it'll be DBZ of kaliyuga then.
Author must have to nerf them.
>Shiva vs. Ashoka
bro you wanna kill us all or what?
Probably don't want to?
Though Poseidon did only super fast thrusts because he felt that a God shouldn't try too hard vs a human, I think.
His thrusting stance was weird too
Who do you think Bishamonten is?
Like 3 out of 28 characters are from indosphere, not including Ganesha and other devatas.
>Zeus emasculates Shiva
retarded setting
Zeus=/=Indra
Shiva is the most OP entity in the indo-european steppe pantheon, not including Vishnu.
>would change Belzeebub for Baal
kys christcuck
greatest mystery!
I'm just salty Adam lost
kek
probably from the religion of peace.
Medusa orgasmed!
Bro, did Adam not show you anything?
Its not countries/nationalities vs the Gods.
Its all of humanity vs the Gods.
Not him and I get that though the choice of Human heroes doesnt really imply that. We have a half asian cast with no darkies or anyone from the new world Tesla is pushing it.
Half of them are nips.
Nips constitutes 1.6% of world.
So they should've included only 1/2 greatest japanese in each side
>Tlahuicole
Literally who?
Some Aztec super-god?
I dunno, ask the Mexicanon.
I wish there were an Aphrodite vs Rasputin fight.
Unfortunately Aphrodite isnt included in the contestants list.
>Be known as the greatest warrior of his country, the republic of Tlaxcala
>Fought in a giant war, hoped to die fighting since he saw victory as impossible
>Was too strong and never actually got killed before his side lost
>Got captured and brought before Moctezuma II to be sacrificed, and he became the only man in recorded history to be offered a pardon from the sacrifices because Moctezuma didn't feel right killing such an amazing warrior
>Refused because he didn't consider it right he should be granted mercy over his fellows and he could not return to his people after the the army he served lost the war
>Moctezuma begged him to take over Aztec forces and lead a defense against the Purepecha empire, desperate to spare him to the point he was willing to give him control of an army
>He accepts, hoping to find a glorious death in war this time
>Completely obliterates the enemy army instead now that he's in charge, returns, and demands to be sacrificed since his plan to die an honourable death in war didn't work (again)
>Moctezuma finally agrees but only after trying to spare him again by offering to make him permanent commander of his army or to go home, both of which he refused
>For his sacrifice he was drugged, tied to the altar with only a loinclith on, given a macuahuitl with feathers instead of obsidian blades as normal, and had a troupe of nine famous warriors sent at him while fully armed, pic related
>He crippled and/or blinded eight before the ninth caught him offguard
The most Chad man to ever grace either America, basically.
metal as fuck
fuggg, great story user
Were they high on drugs?
I want some
Sounds fucking based
One day one of us needs to take a crack at the Historical figure battle royale and put in participants as cool sounding as this.
