Welcome back to The Program! Last we've seen is Sugimura getting his shit kicked in by none other than the cold killing machine that is Kiriyama. Will he live? Or will it be another 2 notches on Kiriyama's kill list?

Sugi is crashing out, and Kiriyama is just standing there, menacingly.

Waow Kayoko does something. She ranks slightly lower than Takako now.

>>286439059
Fear is the mind killer.
So Kiriyama touched the gom jabbar. That explains everything.

>>286439289
Unpopular opinion maybe but Kayoko surpassed Takako here. She's simply a sweet girl so it means a lot for her to pick up the gun and shoot even if she managed to hit nothing.
>>
>>
>>286439355
I'd agree with you on that. Except for the fact that she solo'd a guy on her own. Still, Kayoko shot when it counted while Takako hesitated, so I'll give you that.

I tried wearing my jackets on my shoulders like Kiriyama did when I was younger because of the this manga but they kept falling off and people laughed at me.

You don't have the Kiriyama magic. It flies off and comes right back for the perfect pose.
Coincidentally I did the same, but with trench coats.

It feels like he took a little too much liberty with the characteriztions. But then again, manga is supposed to make exaggerations in the first place, even to the extreme.

I think that at the end of each volume (or maybe it was just the final volume?), the author of the original novel appears, saying that he read the adaptation month by month, that the mangaka consulted him about the changes, and that he liked some of them and even felt that they characterized the characters better or something like that. And also something about how manga and novels are different media and therefore have different approaches.
>>

>>286442231
I can't tell if the actual dialogue is this or if the translator is taking the piss

>>286442346
Safe to say taking the piss. That anon who knows the raws would say something about it.

I'm gonna read the novel after this storytime to see how much of a mess it is.
>>
>>286442367
Sometimes I wonder if the people who used to live on the island got relocated as the man claimed or dumped into the sea somewhere.
>>
>>286442330
Mitsuko is such an innocent little girl at heart
>>
>>
>>286442346
Not the raw anon, but I read the Italian version yesterday to see the differences, and there the text just says something like "I get what you mean but," the whole "He's not a monster, just a boy" is still there later, but it seems like they emphasize it way more here
>>
>>
I like this kanji test. It's interesting. I wonder if it's kept true to the raws.
>>
>>286441790
What could Sugi have done differently? I feel like he had the tools and the skill to win, but he wasn’t fully committed to killing

Boy scouts like these two need constant reminders not to show mercy when Kiriyama comes their way.
>>
>>286442383
I don't think it was a very straightforward relocation considering there are personal belongings everywhere, but it probably wasn't a violent one either since there isn't any sign of damage in any of these houses.
>>286442470

Shu wasn't getting any of it, despite seeing Kiriyama in action against the judo teach firsthand.

Aaaand done! Danke fer comin'!

Looks like next time is a showdown between the apexes. Who'd come out on top to go shoot up Shuuya's group for the win? Unstoppable Kiriyama or Hardcore Souma?
>>
>>286441790
This is somehow still better than how Sugimura got done in the novel/movie.
>>
>>286442266
Even back then, people knew Trump was an untrustworthy snake. Only now, it's worse than we thought.

>>286442688
You know what. True. Even blacks hate a nigger.

>>286442722
It's not being racist per se, but just all round dialogue. Fuck it, I'm racist and I love racist jokes and fried chicken.

Sugimura finds Kayoko, but she gets scared and shoots him. As he lies dying, Sugi explains her how to reunite with Shuuya’s group. When Kayoko realizes that he was a good guy and he genuinely cared about her, she breaks down and cries over his dead body. Then Mitsuko appears and kills her

It's been nearly twenty years since i've read the manga and despite knowing how this moment would play out I still somehow deluded myself into thinking things might be different. As if enough time passing would change things.
I think i stopped reading for a few days after this arc back in the day. I had enjoyed what an unstoppable beast Kiriyama was up until he killed one of MY favorite characters. Yes, I was a little salty that he killed Mimura but enjoyed the fight he put up. On the other hand, I felt Sugimura was fucking robbed by the narrative and that upset me as a young teen. Rereading though, I can appreciate the tragedy of it all a bit more, really bittersweet for our two lovebirds. Kayako was pretty cool too, I dont even remember her pulling the trigger and threatening Kiriyama. Good shit.
>>
>>286442249
did he already forget how Kiriyama removed the judo teacher eyeball or is he in full cope mode?
>>
>>286440833
Like this volume is a different manga.

First it was unlimited ammo and super speed. Then he started adapting and using magic as well.

By the way the reason she didn't run away here is because she wanted to let Sugi know she loved him too. Giffen decided to just replace her telling him she loved him too with Sugi complaining for some reason.
>>
>>286449486
didn't they have any QC back in the days
>>
>>286449586
I think the idea they were operating under was seriously just "We work on manga but we want to try to grab american comic fans, who we know nothing about. Let's hire a big american comic writer and just not question anything he does because he knows the market better."

Apparently this guy's a pretty well-respected American comics writer? No idea, though.
>>
>>286445721
Same. Mimura's death was a bummer, but when i first read it, Sugimura's death made me physically ill for several days.
Never has a character's death in any piece of fiction hurt as much. I really wish things had gone differently for him.

If only he had double tapped.

He really got unlucky too, if a single one of those bullets would have hit Kiriyamas neck/head he'd have been a goner. Or any in his legs and he probably would have struggled getting to them sneakily like that.
>>
>>286440547
Did he just launch Kiriyama with his injured hand?
>>
>>286440684
I'm surprised nobody commented on how nice this kick was.

>>286440730
And the fact that his coat just followed him and landed straight on his shoulders. It's so insane that it's great.
>>
When i first read this like 15 yrs or so ago, i was so surprised by the sudden ki/magic powers that i wondered how japanese audiences reacted when those chapters first aired.

Does anyone know how this was received?
I loved it but i can see it being somewhat contentious.
>>
I hope there's a gag version of this series where all the characters get to live.

How would that even work? They just laugh on the island?
>>
>>286449843
There's no ki in the japanese version. He just gets deeper awareness because of ikebana stuff, so they probably loved it because becoming a super-aware martial arts genius because you stared at flowers and nature for a long time is the ultimate Japanese fantasy.
>>
>>286449844
One of those "It was a simulation all along" things?
Ironically that would be an interesting plot. An authoritarian government places a classroom of 15 year olds into a life or death simulation and evaluates their futures on how each one performs under pressure.

By ki i didnt mean the translation, but the superpower itself.

>>286449889
Alternate version where Kiriyama's coin landed on the other side and he becomes the perfect hero who saves everybody.
>>
>>286450194
Haha Mimiya, Sugi, and Shuuya would all be confused and uncomfortable as fuck.
>>
>>286450057
Could you imagine if it was a simulation though? If I was in that situation, I'd be paranoid as hell with how many people that basically admitted to being total psychopaths.
>>
>>286450057
This is literally what Danganronpa 2 was if I remember right. Or it was at least a simulation of a killing game for high schoolers but for a different (dumber, if I remember right) reason. But nobody actually died or something.

Is he using Krazy Glue to patch himself up?

You can use super glue irl to close wounds.

Props to the writer for making Souma such a crazy bitch, do all kinds of fucked up stuff, and yet, you can't help but feel bad for her

>Apparently this guy's a pretty well-respected American comics writer? No idea, though.

He is, but is really weird that his most famous works are sitcoms with superheroes so I don't get why he decided to go full edgelord here

That kind of explains it honestly. The original story is pretty dark obviously, even in Japanese. If he just wasn't familiar with that kind of material, I guess this is just him trying to take something "dark" and make it "darker" without really understanding how that kind of story is supposed to work.

>I wonder if it's kept true to the raws.
It is. A lot of this chapter's the same. He doesn't guess at how mitsuko and kiriyama would respond to the test, his main point is just that Mitsuko's at least a human so it's possible to think of her in those terms. He says Kiriyama's completely empty and that he's basically just a human-shaped alien, impossible to compare to anybody else in the program.

I think the one big goof here is Shuuya here >>286442554 saying that Kiriyama would be a "mercy killing". In the raws he's just saying Kiriyama's still a human too and there has to be a reasoning to him, and his thoughts are played over a scene of Kiriyama smashing a picture of a happy family which kind of proves him right. So in the English version he's giving up on Kiriyama right as it's shown that he SHOULDN'T be, but in the raws he's NOT giving up on Kiriyama and we're getting a hint that maybe he's right. Also I guess "Monsters aren't born they're made" is a fine line that basically gets the point, but Shuuya still isn't thinking of Kiriyama as a "monster" at this point which I think is important.

Also I don't think Kawada ever explicitly says he'd rather deal with Mitsuko than Kiriyama, in this chapter at least.

This is where the translator's hubris reaches peak retardation. Sugimura's supposedly the token taciturn and socially awkward character of the main cast yet here he is at death's door spewing one-liners like Sean Connery on cocaine. It's almost charming how stupid it is.
