some of these are great... I also like the ones that some mangaka put their own twist towards it

lol Shokugeki spoilers

Azami and Erina are all upset about Soma being Saiba's son, but then Azami's like "I must fix the cooking world because it ruined Joichiro" or some bullshit reason. Erina not only does not mishear this, she has it confirmed via photograph by Yuki (LOL)

Kuga, Isshiki and the big dude from the Elite 10 get fired which totally makes sense because the Elite 10 have UNLIMITED POWER except oh wait Azami can fucking fire them at will checks out (although some people think its more that they simply resign from the E10 as opposed to getting fired which would make more sense I guess).

I never really thought about that Red Line detail before. This explains a lot.

That actually bothered me for the longest time. The whole geography actually, like why aren't people going the opposite direction to reach Raftel.The planet in One Piece is a sphere as far as i can tell.

The conversation between Roger and Whitebeard seemed to imply that getting to Raftel wasn't as simple as just sailing your ship there, but yeah, there's still a lot of things that have yet to be properly explained.

Don't you need to follow the island magnetism to get there? I mean you could probably skip to one of the New World islands with a Vivre card or something.

I guess it just being too dangerous could be a reason why going a different route is impossible.
 
Criminale! 1
The mating call of the yandere.

[MC] has some unnatural talent for attracting criminals, which is un/fortunate because he's just enrolled in a school where his classmates all appear to be criminally minded. At least, I'm assuming that's where this is heading. Followed for the potentially quirky cast and stabstabstabstab
 
Toriko 354

Too much stuff is happening feels like we are playing Budokai Tenkaichi... I hope they showcase how they captured news next chapter

Also more hints on Toriko's 3rd demon

So for the first time in who knows how long (8 years?!) Sanji is a good character again. Jesus christ, I've been waiting for so long. The new arc is shaping up to be amazing; year of the Sanji indeed.
 
Friend of mine said I should check out Mai-chan's Daily Life.

It was uhhh... how should I say this.... intriguing
it's fucked up
and there's live action adaptation WTF.

AKB49 262 Final.

I am so conflicted about my thoughts on this ending. On one hand it is pretty satisfying to see a happy ending and on the other I just feel so empty and I feel like there could be more left to say after the graduation.

This was such a fun ride tho I loved following AKB49 and the last few chapters leading up to the reveal were done so well.

But, it's over I will miss this.

Saw your post and gave it a shot, and wow it's pretty much right up my alley. I could see myself burning through this

Follow up Shokugeki spoilers:

The first translation I read suggested Azami was mad at Joichiro for turning his back on the culinary world, but apparently he's mad at Totsuki for expelling Joichiro and that Azami's scheme is basically a revenge plot against the school for taking senpai away from him. This is DTL as fuck.
 
Bleach 659

Laaaaaaaaaame

One Piece 813

I'm feeling it.

I feel Sanji's redemption. aaaaaah why couldn't he have been like this for the last half a decade????

The Sanji and North Blue thing may be the deepest pull Oda has ever done. That was like 600 chapters ago...

I'm so glad Soma is dropping in the rankings if Jump. It lost track of what made it special and relatable.

Rankings are literally meaningless for series with more than 50 chapters. The last volume released sold about 400K copies - its not getting cancelled, retooled nor is any kind of editorial meddling incoming.

Also its Rafa.

Almost at DTL tier tbh.

LOL

I guess that places more holes in the Azami got him expelled theory i remember hearing and begs the question of what really happened to Joichiro and the school.

I liked Sanji's serious look. Might finally really probably be his time to shine.

Bleach 659

I liked Ichigo's dumb look. He himself probably didn't know why he was standing there, doing nothing.
 
I don't get how a XIII would make any sense there there were only 12 apostles at the time Judas betrayed Jesus

but I don't know very much about the bible, so I guess they all had rad roman numeral tattoos or something

The XIII is the number of people at the Last Supper; Christ and the apostles make 13. It's a well referenced number in relation to the betrayal of Christ to my understanding.

My experience with Japanese media is that you see quite a bit of Christianity references that don't go anywhere because its often just referenced solely as an exotic religion with some very generally understood tropes (crosses, priests, nuns, although they frequently act like shrine maidens instead of real nuns). It's usually not terribly deep because I don't think the populace in Japan has anywhere near the level of familiarity with Christian theology that English speakers do, even among the non-religious.

To make it short, I don't consider it likely at all that there's any kind of subtle symbolism going on here.

Saw the Soma raws.

So who from the first years going to replace those 3 that got kicked out. I think Hayama is going to be one.
 
My experience with Japanese sourced series is that they have far less familiarity with actual Christian tenets than the average English speaker does and that it frequently doesn't lead anywhere or mean anything.

Could be, but the rest of the details she mentioned line up with being a possible ripoff of the event, if it's not the actual historical figures. Guess we'll find out whenever Ken decides to go further into it.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if
Soma was at least nominated. Azami isn't exactly antagonistic with him and he's Beloved Senpai's Son.

Just like the Lifemaker and Mage of the Beginning. For the record, I would just die if the Mage of the Beginning turned out to be Jesus.

This is supposed to be a comedy series, but the premise looks quite horrific.
