HSDK manga discussion thread

[Kage Kisaragi]

So clothing damage was the key to snapping Miu out of her brainwashing. Huge shocker there. (/sarcasm)

As much as I love Miu, and loved seeing her prove how awesome she is in a fight, i kind of felt she was being exploited more than being badass.. Demon God Fist is a perv. Where does this guy keep getting his fruit/vegetables from? He must be the healthiest villain ever.

To say Miu is exploited in HSDK is like saying that not much air conditioning is needed in Antarctica. Small nations could be rendered bankrupt by Miu's clothing bill alone. Hell, they probably need to make everything she wears out of the same material as her new mask, (not that it guarantees she wont somehow shred off her body regardless).

As for Jenazad, he's basically the unholy offspring of Akuma and those "eat healthy" TV ad messages aimed towards kids. So I agree with you.

"You don't need a stable family upbringing or a childhood for that matter! ALL you need is fruit!"

I like this chapter though because this is a moment where Miu genuinely needs Kenichi and, by god, he is going to be there for her even if it kills him in the process. The sheer power of the emotions at play here are quite evocative and a lot of a fun.

Agreed.

I think that this is the most engaged in the series I've been since the final fight against Shou Kanon. By golly that was awesome.

First 7 or so minutes of the OVA and a teaser trailer at the end.

[Kage Kisaragi]

new chapter out.

wow, so much booty in this chapter, yet it looks smaller, but its the butt crack line stopping short? The Kenichi Kick saves the day.

[Kusanagi]

Without getting caught up in the massive amounts of fan service, Kenichi has probably been the most badass he has ever been in this arc, and the good news is it doesn't feel forced. A fun read through and through.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Man.

These last few chapters have really poured on the awesomeness.

I love the Kenichi/Miu team-up.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Aww damnit.

I liked John the incompotent mercenary. I'm gonna miss him. I wonder how many will that he's died from reading that comment.

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Shiiiittttttttttt

[Jmacq1]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Shiiiittttttttttt

Ayep.

Gonna be interesting to see what position the new arrival takes. Clearly he's looking to protect Miu (and maybe Kenichi), but will he try to turn Kenichi to the dark side? Or just see them safely away?

I did kinda figure he'd turn up somewhere in this arc, though...after all Hongo went to visit him before joining this little adventure.

I confess...he's a lot more dapper and "pretty" than I expected him to be, but then again it -is- Miu's dad we're talking about....

Side Note: I kinda hope they keep Miu's "psychotic flashes" around for a while. They're pretty funny.

Other Side Note: I think the Miu fanservice in this arc is reaching metatextual levels....

[Hazard]

Did not see that one coming.

[FistofIron]

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Drunkard Kid]

spoilers:

EDIT: And Jonothan? The One Shadow Nine Fists, trying to help save his daughter and stop Jenazad from tearing apart Yami for fun. He doesn't look like that because of any special tech or anything, that's just his natural body type. All the flashbacks and everything were just Hayato and the others projecting their expectations onto him.

end of spoilers

Not quite 100%, but I still goddamned called it!

[Nik Hasta]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Shiiiittttttttttt

That was pretty much my reaction.

This arc has been really good overall.

[Holy Spirit]

OHHH YEEEEAAAHHHH! It's about to go down!!!

I am pleased with this development...... easily on pace to be the best arc so far.


Depending on what happens next..... this could be as good as the Aizen reveal. Hopefully even better.

Ayep.

Gonna be interesting to see what position the new arrival takes. Clearly he's looking to protect Miu (and maybe Kenichi), but will he try to turn Kenichi to the dark side? Or just see them safely away?

I could see it going either way.... but I think his main concern will be one of two things. First, make sure Miu gets to safety. Second, destroy the ever loving crap out of Jenazad.


As to Kenichi.... well..... he is there for Miu..... Kenichi's presence would be more like a side effect of that. So, even if he has plans for him later.... for now.... I think he'd let that go as his way of saying "Thank You." for risking his life for his daughter. Plus, he can escort her out while he deals with Jenazad.

I did kinda figure he'd turn up somewhere in this arc, though...after all Hongo went to visit him before joining this little adventure.

Yeah, me too.

Although, I wonder if Hongo knew the One Shadow was already among them or..... he only knew he'd be coming eventually and the disguise was just as much a surprise to him as it was to me.

I confess...he's a lot more dapper and "pretty" than I expected him to be, but then again it -is- Miu's dad we're talking about....

I wasn't to surprised by it.

I remember there was a flash back of Hayato Fūrinji in his younger days with Mikumo Kushinada and he seemed rather handsome back in the day.

Other Side Note: I think the Miu fanservice in this arc is reaching metatextual levels....

It has been kinda..... in your face as of late.
