Guess they listen to the wrong fans then.

Knuxie, where is your Onegai my Melody videos? Veoh or Dailymotion?

Sorry for the double post but I got an email from La Luna and she'll be providing some translated info about the weekly manga releases. =3

Looks like Jenny was right about the mask removal match.. but apparently it's a bit more severe than that.

She says a lot of the Japanese fans are equally as frustrated with the arc as we are.

Well, despite me not being able to understand Japanese...most of that stuff has already been talked about here. Are Yudetamago really that predictable now? D=

[Dai Makai]

You know, someone should do a deconstruction fic sometime with Kinnikuman. I mean, how many times have people done stupid things to appease the audience? Not to mention the fact that battles that determine the fate of the world somehow always sell out and people then act *shocked* when people die or get mutilated.

[Jenny]

I'm right about half the time. xD I still think Mantaro's an idiot to accept it though. x[

No s-manga update yet. ;-; I wonder if we'll get one this week.

Probably on break for Golden Week.

Yep, it'd be Golden Week break. The other major hitters, like the Shounen Jump manga are off this week, too, for Golden Week. Which I'm sure had many Bleach and Naruto "Gimme-gimme-gimme" fans jumping off high staircases.

You say that as if it were a tragedy.

Oh, by no means. I'm normally polite about other people's tastes, but regardless of whether I like the series or not as well, I cannot stand it when the fanboys immediately demand that a version they can understand be released within minutes, if not seconds, of the Japanese being released, or likewise, the next chapter, when the latest chapter has just arrived.

Nice to know the "Oh C'MON!" factor defies cultural borders when it comes to fandom, and it's not just us.

Seriously, this should be one of Yude's finest sagas in Kinniku-history, and they're more or less RUINING IT.

[La Luna]

Nice to meet you, my name is La Luna.
I am a Japanese, living in Japan.

Weekly PLAYBOY magazine suspends publication during these Golden Week holidays,
and it will be released on next Monday.

It was also difficult for me to understand that Mantaro accepted the mask removal rule,
even though he had been taught by his father that a member of Kinniku clan should not refuse any death match rule proposed by the opponent.
If Mantaro wins, Suguru should die, which will result in Mantaro's disappearance,
needless to say about the case Mantaro loses.
I wonder no mates mention this point, however hard they opposes to Suguru's proposal.
Might the author have failed to recognize?

We Japanese, like most of the readers overseas, also think that this saga has impaired many nice characters' dignity and the story is lingering.
I think that the author would like to try new style, but it doesn't work well.

Hi! Welcome to our crazy thread here.

What do fans over in Japan think about the spider/hourglass curse?

[Aelia]

Welcome to the boards! Hope you have a nice time here.

Anyway, I'm not so shocked that Mantaro accepted. I'm shocked that Suguru even suggested it in the first place. I too wonder what is with that spider/hourglass curse too.

[Molanphy]

Maybe Yude will do something, like interrupt the match, or someone maybe die

[Dai Makai]

Or Scarface and company will go go spirit form or something and try to overcome the Spider.

Oh! That'd be an awesome plot-twist! Scar, Jade, Turbinski, Barrierfreeman, and Checkmate's spirits all like becoming an anti-Akuma Shogun and negating the Spider's Curse that way!

[TheOrgg]

If Anti-Shogun and Akuma Shogun punch one another, do they both dissappear?

[Dai Makai]

Well, I'm thinking Anti-Shogun would be more like some kind of entity related to Silverman, like how Akuma Shogun is like Goldman. And since Silverman's ability revolves around protecting people and defense, he might think of a way around the mask removal thing... like how Suguru or Mantaro would remove their mask and the Silver Mask would reappear underneath

[Stecase King]

I know we saw Mantaro's mask come off before the match, but did we see Suguru with his off? Maybe Terryman was helping him put on a second mask?

[La Luna]

Hi! Welcome to our crazy thread here.

What do fans over in Japan think about the spider/hourglass curse?

We don't know either why Suguru still seems to have the hourglass inside him.
There may be three stories:
1st: Actually, Mari did not hugged Suguru, because she couldn't or Suguru refused.
2nd: In fact, it's not Mari who is a keyperson of releasing the curse.
3rd: There should be additional keyperson to release the curse. That is, Mari is not the only keyperson.

The 2nd idea above is unrealistic, because Neptuneman admitted that Jikan-choujin was so cunning that he selected Mari as the keyperson, who seemed to be the last person to hug Suguru since she would keep Bibibinba, Suguru's fiancee, at distance.
I think the 1st one is most likely to be true.
But if so, why it took many weeks to describe Mari related stories?

When is someone allowed to see you with your mask off if you're a Kinniku?

I thought it was only during... well, intimate moments. Am I remembering incorrectly?

If Terryman is lacing up Kinn's mask...

[La Luna]

Yes, considering the manga's predisponency, the severer the rule is, the more inevitable it is that Mantaro should accept it.
The worse is the fact that Suguru proposed the ridiculous rule.

Many fans in Japan are disaffeted at the change of Suguru's personality in this saga,
that is, Suguru has been distrusted the new generations and has often insulted them,
while Terry, Robin and Brocken realized that they are truly new generations, their sons and pulil, coming from the future.
However, I sometimes feel that Suguru may have understood that Mantaro is his real son,
and this is why he treats Mantaro cruelly so that he should test the son.

Anyway, mask removal rule is ridiculous because Mantaro should disappear whichever team would win.

Kinnikuman can change his mask in front of people, because the face flash stops them from seeing his face (he does it in Muscle Returns). It doesn't last very long, though.

[Jenny]

Wait. The Time Choujin actually selected Mari to be the breaker of the curse? O_o

H-huh.

*thinks back to the Mari!Shogun crack theories*

Ah. So he can blind everyone briefly...


...err, does the Face Flash not work when he's underwater?
