SeeYouInShibuya
[dcst] Chapter 192
SeeYouInShibuya
Okay
SeeYouInShibuya
So we've got the B side to last week's A side so to speak
SeeYouInShibuya
Which was expected
SeeYouInShibuya
Wasn't expecting quite how it shook out though
SeeYouInShibuya
And you know what, I can be here for it.
SeeYouInShibuya
Senku explaining his crazy-ass plan and does not sound any less crazy
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
(But I mean who expected he would)
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
Not surprised they targeted him, considering he's the mastermind around here
SeeYouInShibuya
But really team KoS is in rough shape in both locations so they have no choice
SeeYouInShibuya
A moment for Ukyo before you know, he's also blood splatter
SeeYouInShibuya
Stanley should be real proud
SeeYouInShibuya
And then we have our hero
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
Go Suika, go!
SeeYouInShibuya
Also, shooting at a 12 year old, real new low there Stanley
SeeYouInShibuya
Senku clinging to life, barely. I looked at that panel closely it's at least two more gunshot wounds, if not his hip as well
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I already mentioned my almost expectations for 193 after this
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
/sits here tho
SeeYouInShibuya
Chrome, Gen and Kaseki throwing themselves at Stanley to stop the whole thing
SeeYouInShibuya
And Suika being our Big Damn Hero
SeeYouInShibuya
Which you know, I'm okay with
SeeYouInShibuya
I love Suika.
SeeYouInShibuya
It's a flawed plan too but
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
Suika being the MVP is always a must
SeeYouInShibuya
She's got this
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
It should be illegal for her to cry
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
And then the parting shot, so now my thoughts on all this -
SeeYouInShibuya
I wasn't expecting to pull Suika MVP and I'm super happy to see it because
SeeYouInShibuya
She should get all the credit, she's super great
SeeYouInShibuya
Forever
SeeYouInShibuya
In general, her character is so pleasantly handled in this series
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
yeah
SeeYouInShibuya
That's not a new thought I've had, like, the fact she's young but they don't diminish her contributions
SeeYouInShibuya
They all think she's just as vital a member as the rest of them
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
don't lie, they think she's more vital than Ginro /shot
SeeYouInShibuya
God I hate Ginro so much
SeeYouInShibuya
She's way better than him XD
SeeYouInShibuya
So other thoughts - this was actually an excellent chapter in revealing just how disgusting a human being Xeno is
SeeYouInShibuya
Because he's downright ruthless, and supportive of them slaughtering these so called children
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't know if there are fans out there that were hoping for a redemption from him
SeeYouInShibuya
Like realistically, he could stop anything at any time but he's like nah
SeeYouInShibuya
Go ahead and kill them all
SeeYouInShibuya
In the last page - Stanley stands alone
SeeYouInShibuya
Which likely means Gen, Chrome and Kaseki are at his feet
SeeYouInShibuya
So what we have here is Carlos, Max, Chelsea and Luna all unaccounted for (I really don't know or care what happened to the first two but weird)
SeeYouInShibuya
And I don't think in that case, apart from Suika, any other KoS member original, got out of it unscathed
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
"so called children" and actual children, mind you
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah he's also cool with killing children
SeeYouInShibuya
Since he wanted Stan to get Suika
SeeYouInShibuya
100 days after mid-December puts us somewhere end of March/beginning of April
SeeYouInShibuya
Notably this is the beginning of the dry season in Araxa (I looked it up)
SeeYouInShibuya
So I think as far as time skips go we're talking at least six months
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't think we're jumping into an epilogue yet
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
that's assuming they timeskip us to the rain happening, I won't be surprised if it goes to epilogue but I will be dissappointed if they do
SeeYouInShibuya
Because they haven't actually done anything about the biggest threat
SeeYouInShibuya
Xeno is a big threat but there's nothing stopping from Whyman resetting humanity every ten years cause he feels like it
SeeYouInShibuya
That's why I don't think they'll go to an epilogue yet
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I mean... an argument could be made that with the revival fluid entering the rain cycle the Earth would gain some inmunity to petrification
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
"fuck, we're stone again, hope it rains soon"
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
again I hope not
SeeYouInShibuya
So it's not the rain they need - it's the thunder
SeeYouInShibuya
Because of how the tower was built to shockwave that one bottle above Suika
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
but other than magically jumping to epilogue I've no idea how Senku plans for this to not end with his statue and the others smashed to pieces because Xeno or Stanley happen to wake up first
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
... oh wait
SeeYouInShibuya
I'm not quite sure that's the angle here
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
is that the plan?
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
have Suika be revived and then her revive the rest after making more fluid???
SeeYouInShibuya
They need a storm loud enough to hit that disk
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah!
SeeYouInShibuya
That's the plan!
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I thought the plan was to make the fluid enter the rain cycle
SeeYouInShibuya
That's why he talked about the sound of nature
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
ok that makes tons more sense and totally scraps the idea of epilogue jumping
SeeYouInShibuya
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I mean..., I thought the thunder thing was just because RAIN
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
orz
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
and that what Suika was duing was scream to break the vial
SeeYouInShibuya
No, no, specifically they need something loud enough to activate that disk thingy I can't remember what it's called I'm not Senku XD
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
yeah yeah I'm getting it now
SeeYouInShibuya
If she breaks the vial now, she'll still get petrified
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
see this iss why I try to wait till you're around to read the chapters
SeeYouInShibuya
So they need it to break after she is - and then yes, having her resurrect people
SeeYouInShibuya
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
because I'm dumb and miss sstuff
SeeYouInShibuya
It's a couple of hours early, actually
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I know, grateful for it
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah they don't usually release until noon but yeah so this hinges on her knowing how to make this formula
SeeYouInShibuya
Which I could buy that
SeeYouInShibuya
She's a clever girl
SeeYouInShibuya
But most likely she'd get Senku up first
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I mean, obvious
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
then again
SeeYouInShibuya
So timeskip-wise, at least six months to get a good thunderstorm but they do allude to years
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
maybe she doessn't need to know the formula, depending how it breaks and the disk's form some fluid may be left there so all she would need is take that and go to Senku
SeeYouInShibuya
So it would be a delicate balance there because leaving it too long renders things like the Perseus unusable
SeeYouInShibuya
That could be true too
SeeYouInShibuya
And would effectively strand them in Araxa which is a much more unsafe place to be versus waking in Japan
SeeYouInShibuya
Wildlife speaking
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
yeap
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
... I just hope that when they get to animate this this is the end of a season
SeeYouInShibuya
So I imagine 193 will be Suika's adventures in waking
SeeYouInShibuya
I...would hope so?
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I mean, it's fucking perfect to leave the series hanging for months or a year with Senku's last words
SeeYouInShibuya
Next arc should be all the way to the end of the Treasure Island arc
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
It would get them another season
SeeYouInShibuya
We do get 193 and then SJ is off for a week
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
yeaah the timing there is a big meh, I feel i would have prefered this chapter to be the one before the break
SeeYouInShibuya
Oh This is fantranslated /went back to look/
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
because for once while it ends in cliffhanger and I want more... it actually is a good cliffhanger and spacing it in real life would give more weight to the whole "it may take days or years"
SeeYouInShibuya
The only reason we wouldn't get 193 is they're on break XD
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
that explains the early and difference in quality compared to other chapters
SeeYouInShibuya
I haven't heard but also we'll know at 12ish when the next chapter comes out
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah, we don't get many fantranslations because SJ is so reliable. I mean the last one was chapter 160
SeeYouInShibuya
After Senku got shot
SeeYouInShibuya
(the first time)
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
... wait so when more or less would 193 happen? next Sunday or the one after?
SeeYouInShibuya
If Inagaki is on break, it'd be two weeks at least
SeeYouInShibuya
If not, it would be next Sunday with a one week break after because of SJ scheduling (likely a Japanese holiday)
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
ok, we just need to know Inagaki's state
SeeYouInShibuya
We are also kissing Senku's petrification scars goodbye, that'll be weird
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
depends
SeeYouInShibuya
If they're there a long time he'd get new scars, I would think
SeeYouInShibuya
Either way, those particular scars would be healed regardless of the time
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
he may get new ones if it takes a long time to depetrify them <- I WAS TRYING TO SAY THAT BUT PLURK FROZE ON MY ASS
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
he may get new ones if it takes a long time to depetrify them
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
OH, NOW YOU SEND IT, STUPID PLURK /kicks it
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
PLURK HAS DONE THAT TO ME LIKE FIVE TIMES
SeeYouInShibuya
Plurk, please, you're drunk
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
really drunk
SeeYouInShibuya
It's too early for drinking Plurk
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah would still be weird, he's got quite a striking look with the scars he has
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I mean, it's never early for drinking, but still yeah, too early
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
he will paint them back anyway
SeeYouInShibuya
He could they still haven't defeated whyman
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
it wasn't just "defeat whyman" it was "restore humanity"
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
wasn't it?
SeeYouInShibuya
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
yeah I was just checking that
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
so yeah until whyman is defeated
SeeYouInShibuya
(I have bounced back and forth way too much in this manga I know which chapter everything is help me XD)
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I will send no help at all
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I do the same with Db
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
Well that's not helpful now is it!!
SeeYouInShibuya
It's good when I need to go find the callbacks
SeeYouInShibuya
Which this series uses a lot
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
yeah
SeeYouInShibuya
Everything they tell you shows up eventually so far
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
... I just hope that when Suika wakes up sshe finds the tower collapsed and crushed Stanley and Xeno
SeeYouInShibuya
I so want that to happen
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
or something
SeeYouInShibuya
I definitely do not want them to wake them up anytime soon
SeeYouInShibuya
Leave them in Araxa
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
maybe not the tower thing because Gen and the others
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I don't want them waking up
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
period
SeeYouInShibuya
Let's just abandon them in Araxa
SeeYouInShibuya
I was like I hope Suika kicks them in the balls XD
SeeYouInShibuya
Worth the foot pain
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
totally
SeeYouInShibuya
I hate them so much
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
me too
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
that "bro/friend/whatever" moment they had in the chapter honestly made me feel sick
SeeYouInShibuya
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
bad idea to read the chapter after eating xD
SeeYouInShibuya
Like I don't care about them
SeeYouInShibuya
Like at all
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I wass rollng my eyes and just being disgusted by their continuous existence xDDD Sorry but yeah
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
the author has done nothing to make them even one bit redeemable
SeeYouInShibuya
No and if anything, this chapter proves they very much are not
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
it's like the Joker, except that thee Joker at least is interesting
SeeYouInShibuya
Confirmed: April 18th is the next chapter
SeeYouInShibuya
/goes to see the chapter reaction on Twitter
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
That's what I think too
SeeYouInShibuya
SeeYouInShibuya
They kinda chose both XD
SeeYouInShibuya
Which I mean, rude
