Wait, does this mean we're comrades in poisonous cooking, or does it mean you're actually one of the Elite 10?
Tried googling "rice cooking time" just now to make sure. dunno what y'all are talking about
Kaze no Chinkorou (The Wandering Dick) 1-5 (nsfw)
Can't post pics but this is seriously something else. A true masterpiece.
So is Downfall done or does it still have a few chapters?
Cooking rice takes 40 minutes?!

The entire point of sending Kenshin to kill Shishio is for the population not to know. When Shishio took over a village they literally just erased it from the map. Everything is meant to be kept secret.Rurouni Kenshin Kyoto Arc
Moving on to Shishsio, I found him to be a pretty solid antagonist. He hits the right notes; good design, interesting counterpart to the main protagonist (being his successor), and an acceptable motivation. And although his final fight with Kenshin is excellent, Shishio never did anything to push him into great villain territory for me. Although it was pretty shocking to me when he. Small issue is that this is the battle for Japan, but during this arc you never really get an idea about the poluation at large. Only instance we really see Shishio's influence being negative is the town on the way to Kyoto. I guess maybe the Kyoto Fires section was supposed to give me a sense of it, but it didn't convey that to me.stabs through Yumi to attack Kenshin
There are some weird things going on at the end of this arc. Saito's "death", the guy who earlier in the arc kidnaps a baby and threaten to kills it becomes a police investigator, and the scene of Shishio deciding to kill the king of hell all felt out of place. About halfway through this arc it fixes one of my biggest problems with the series by giving Kenshin a technique that makes him on the level of Himura Battosai, eliminating the issue of him always having to have to go through that conflict just to show that the fight is serious. His mentor is also hilarious.
Ok, ranted on this too long. Thought the Kyoto arc was very good. Already a little bit into the Jinchu arc and that seems set up to be even better so I'm looking forward to continuing through that.

Yup. If the government really wanted to they could mobilize the army and take him out in less than a day, but as is pointed out very early on in the arc that would make them look weak to the other nations in the world and potentially open them up to be taken advantage of or invaded. That's not even considering how weak they would look to their own citizens if they needed to use the army to take out one man.
The whole thing needed to be kept secret because they just finished a civil war and needed to look strong to both the rest of the world and the citizens of Japan.
Alright. That makes sense then. I understand that secrecy was important (which is why Hoji is shut down by the government, before he kills himself). I was going through the chapters in pretty big bunches so I misunderstood Shinshio himself as the threat to japan opposed to what he stands for/the weakness he would represent to the Meiji era.The entire point of sending Kenshin to kill Shishio is for the population not to know.

Saito and Cho tie into the next arc. Although Cho was probably going to get a bigger role as there was an arc planned to have the ex-Ten Swords return. Apparently this arc is going to be the upcoming story for when Kenshin comes back.
Shishio is just shown after death to show how insane he is, perfect ending for him really.

Nice to see Noelle go over Solid. Vangeance is one of the more interesting captains so it was good to see the impact he has on the golden dawn. I don't think that Yuno/Noelle are actually set to face any other important character until the semi final. All of the interesting matches next round are on Asta's side of the bracket.
Of course not, they gotta save yuno/noelle for the battle with asta/mimosa
This. This is a whole new level of nefarious brainwashing. For the sake of both humans and demons alike, the Secretary's self-control should never be tampered with again (including, but not limited to, her sex drive). Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
I realized I purchased a Humble Bundle pack a while ago, which had the first Blame Omnibus as PDF included. After reading it I decided that it might be a little bit too reliant on art/ I would have appreciated a wee bit more dialogue.Blame then PunPun. While 20th is still a pretty good manga, its third act is quite a let down for most readers. Just know that all three of these mangas are quite different compared to Berserk and Vagabond.

So I'm pretty close to catching up with the few series I'm buying at the moment and kind of wanted to get into another shonen/battle series again soon. How is 666 Satan/O-Parts Hunter? I remember reading the first volume a long time ago and it felt like some combination of the beginning of Dragonball and Naruto. I just kind of remembered this series at random and decided I might check it out since all of the volumes are still in stock on Rightstuf and it's not a stupidly long series like a lot of notable shonen battle series tend to be.
So did Cross Account get dropped? I was interested in the few chapters I read in WSJ.

The series part 1 and 2 is ok.
