KingKira’s View: One & Murata have been serving us back-to-back delicious chapters and this week was no different. We picked up from the end of the last chapter with Bang encountering Garou after Bomb was taken down. No time is wasted as Bang does his awakening breathing technique and decides to go all out, the master & student exchange blows, as this is happening Garou is shown performing the awakening breathing technique as well. Bomb & Bang confirm that Garou is still growing stronger during his fights. Bang gets the upper hand when he lands a few hits, knocking Garou into the air but Garou skillfully retaliates by smashing Bang into the ground, After witnessing Garou fight, Bang acknowledges that he’s much stronger now.
We switched over to Vomited Fuhrer ugly terrorizing the heroes and he performed a full-body melting punch directed at the swordsmen but Amahare & Nichirin push the other parties away leaving themselves to take the full damage of Fuhrer’s attack, Amahare died instantly while half of Nichirin’s body remained, Nichirin entrusts the swordmasters council to Atomic samurai along with the sun blade & he has a sad farewell with his student, Spring mustachio. I think it’s cool that the moon blade gives Atomic samurai a more concrete goal in the series and we could possibly even get an arc centered on Atomic samurai. With Vomited Fuhrer’s body melting the more he performs attacks, he reabsorbs the toxic substance he released to replenish his mass; the problem for Fuhrer starts when he absorbs some of black sperm’s clones with a cocky attitude, going as far as calling sperm livestock. An enraged Black sperm observes the battlefield before deciding to merge his clones into Golden sperm, it’s a simple design but I like how he turned out, especially his facial expression. For now, I can’t tell if sperm merged every single clone he has into one or if he merged a lot and still has some of the black clones dealing with Genos & Tatsumaki, we’ll find out next chapter. The chapter concludes with Golden sperm bullying Vomited Fuhrer ugly and putting him down easily, not even Fuhrer’s toxic substance can harm Golden sperm. I’m excited to see Homeless emperor’s reaction to Golden sperm and I wonder who he’ll fight since most heroes available are in pretty bad shape, there’s also Garou vs Bang to look forward to, Garou has the advantage now but Bang is still roaring to go.
KingKira’s character of the week: Black sperm snatches it directly from Vomited Fuhrer ugly this week thanks to his epic merger. In less than 3 pages Golden sperm took down the same Vomited fuhrer ugly that has been a menace on the battlefield without taking any damage.
KingKira’s best scene: Tough choice this time around but I’ll go with Golden sperms bright entrance. I love how Murata showed golden sperm speed blitzing Vomited fuhrer ugly before revealing his shiny form; his demeanor & manner of speech was also cool to see. A major shoutout to the Garou vs Bang fight, awesome sequences as usual.
KingKira’s best panel: Sperm season.
Obituary: We are here to honor the fallen warriors of the swordmasters council, Amahare & Nichirin, they join their brother Zanbai who died in the last chapter. Amahare & Nichirin made their first appearance in chapter 69 and passed away as a result of a full-body melting punch from Vomited Fuhrer ugly. Apart from his design Amahare didn’t leave much of an impression on me and his fighting style didn’t get much spotlight, Nichirin, on the other hand, had a cool design and his Iai Rahu asura slash looked impressive, it’s safe to say he was on the same level as Atomic samurai. My thoughts and prayers to Nichirin & Amahare fans out there. Shoutout to Fuhrer for the killings
Judgment: One & Murata did it again, producing another fantastic chapter for us to enjoy. We got more action with Garou vs Bang, more deaths on the hero side as well as a new goal for Atomic samurai, and the golden entrance; the stakes keep getting higher and I’m loving it, the only problem is that I need more. 10/10
