Vodwatching yesterdays session from Kab’s perspective was so interesting because we don’t often see Kab and Clown interact on Lifesteal

What struck me the most was Kab’s dm to Clown ‘dont sacrifice yourself for them’, ‘they aren’t worth it’

It implies that Kab values Clown life over killing Mane which is crazy because she’s wanted him dead for months now, and shes asked for Clowns help with dealing with him before.

But “they” can be interpreted in two different ways: the Empire and the Blindfold bandits.

Don’t sacrifice yourself for the empire, helping them isn’t worth your life (It’s in a sort of superior way, like your life is more valuable than theirs, save yourself and get away before you die too)

or

Don’t sacrifice yourself for the empire, killing mane isn’t worth your life (In a concern type of way, I want to see you live more than I want to see Mane die)

The difference is very minimal but it speaks to how she views Clown, and either way the message remains the same - get out of there before you die like Zam.

Like it’s a small over minecraft chat interaction but it goes to show how much Kab cares and trusts Clown and gives insight into why she was so insistent that Clown would always have her back even when he wasn’t active on the sever. It’s obvious she cares for him a lot otherwise she wouldn’t have willingly sacrificed the opportunity to kill Mane out of concern for his life.

Question is, is it reciprocated? Kab obviously carries that strong bond she and Clown has into Lifesteal, and I would’ve expected Clown to not do the same so its surprising when earlier in the stream he straight up reveals his big plan to 1v3 them to her since he didn’t have anything to gain by telling her that. But ended up benefitting anyway since Kab offers to strike a deal with Sb for some god apples.

This entire conversation, they acted more like teammates than anything because they just have a weird almost unconditional trust in each other that doesn’t come with being just allies, which is important since we know that Clown is very willing to team with kab “once she proves herself”.

The notch apple thing also made me realise that Kab has a weird thing with helping people. She generally asks if she can help a lot (twice to clown in just one stream, and all those times shes asked Zam) and it’s such a striking difference how she treats Clown compared to how she treats Zam, who she imposes her help on, as opposed to Clown who she offers it to. Especially since she wants Zam to fufill that role of her protector that Clown is usually in.

This was just a bunch of yap lwk, but kab is interesting

Now that JJK 271 is out and had...an ending...I have one issue and question.

Why are people trying to force a narrative that most Shonen endings are bad?

Haikyu!!, Slam Dunk, Assassination Classroom, Mob Psycho 100, Dororo, Gurren Lagann, Zatch Bell, the ending of Chainsaw Man part 1, Trigun, Ashita no Joe, Gintama, the JJBA endings (especially Steel Ball Run and Stone Ocean), Golden Kamuy, Azumanga Daioh, Beck, Pandora Hearts, Great Teacher Onizuka, and way more than I can list all had great endings.

Heck, Full Metal Alchemist, a manga that many hold in especially high regard, is widely regarded to have a perfect or near perfect ending.

I have my own issues with the jjk ending, but some of them stem from issues I've had with the manga for a while so it wasn't surprising for the issues I've been having to crop up at the finale, especially given the rush to get there. But there are so many people quick to bash the entire category of manga. The examples of bad, mediocre, and/or controversial shonen endings are often just very well-known series so of course when they end people are loud about it.

As unsatisfied as I, and many people are, with this ending I feel like it was almost inevitable. Gege's health took a steep drop towards the latter half of the series and even more during this final arc. (I still swear by the fact that most manga, especially jjk, should be on a monthly format instead of weekly).

At the end of the day, endings are hard. You have to wrap up multiple threads in a succinct and satisfying way, and this is even harder when its a long running series or a series with a LOT of expectations. Coupled with the deadlines, restraints, and meddling most mangaka face when writing its a difficult task to wrap up hundreds of chapters in just a few.

Anyway it really has been our Potential Kaisen.

Slightly changed my d00d design recently.

[taldigi]

fr for me there is no greater proclamation of love then knowing and learning to perfect and then making your s/o's favorite food or drink and no greater payoff then seeing them happy to eat it (and no greater devastation when they don't like the food or are politely neutral) and nothing violently attached me to the p4 cast more than the team gushing over Yu's cooking. Hate that for me, honestly.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii sorry i disappeared i’ve been busy irl 🫠 i got a new job! it’s a kinda unconventional and little physically demanding, but it’s super fun and pays better than most jobs i’ve been looking at 💀 i also got a new haircut! i’ve been flip flopping on whether i like it or not, but it’s alright bc hair grows back anyway and my hair grows super fast too.

i’ve been in a really big art funk but being busy with other stuff has made me itching to get back to it!! so hopefully i’ll get to draw new things soon 💪
