OK, I'll bite. Does this stupid brat have ANY character development? Because right now he's unbearable. I know it's a product of its time, but goddamn is he obnoxious. For fuck's sake, right now HE'S the villain.
So, is Yaiba supposed to be completely unlikable?
Yes. It's a story about him becoming Japan's #1 swordsman, in both technique and manners.
He got the most votes in the final popularity poll
I hope you're right. Cause right now, he sucks. Hell, he's the reason why we even HAVE a big bad in the show. Sure, you could argue someone would have found the shrine eventually, but this really sped it up.
Also, hold up.... Sayaka got second place? She's gonna be relevant? More than e damsel in distress?
Hell, he's the reason why we even HAVE a big bad in the show.
With a name like Onimaru he had no chance of not becoming bad
True. Likewise, you name your kid "Yaiba" you don't give him many career choices. "Hell, I'm Blade, and I'll be taking your order today." Doesn't quite work...
She's mostly Yaiba's cheerleader and support. She'll rarely be a damsel in distress, but she won't be fighting either (except for when someone gropes her).
she's basically proto Kaoru
(except for when someone gropes her)
I don't know if it's the same case there but why did old anime use to have random faceless men sexually assault the main heroine? how can that even be considered fan service
or anything other than ragebait for that matter
you mean this remake of an old shonen nobody ever talks about is shit?
shocking
I love him. Brats are fun and more people should have the balls to make them total shit heads. How often do you get a kid so irritating he drives another person to villainy? That's hilarious.
Onimaru is the name of a sword owned by the Hojo clan that allegedly moved on its own to slay a demon. Tokiyuki uses it in Elusive Samurai.
People used to not constantly selfinsert and view every action against a female character as 'defiling' them, because they're fictional.
but you still care and empathize with the characters either way, how can anyone enjoy seeing them getting assaulted
nips thought it was funny
because its goofy and not in a serious tone. if I see a cute girl get felt up in an anime and nobody really gives a shit then I don't give a shit and I just like seeing her get embarrassed or annoyed
cuck
No, she fights in the real final arc alongside Kaguya.
because its goofy and not in a serious tone
Modern normalfags have a real problem comprehending this. It's why you even see them complaining when villains are sexist or racist or whatever. Context and tone mean nothing to them. I don't understand how they even function since even children have historically had no trouble with this.

Surely an intellectual like you does understand. No need to be coy, we're all racist here
Kaguya does everything though, and Sayaka becomes the cheerleader for Kaguya instead
But she does fight a bit when the Fire Demon (Burner iirc) attacks the Mine residence
She's hot and molestable. Everything Gosho can't get away with doing to his other heroines, he will do to Sayaka.
airday thread archived with 100-something posts
lmao, pathetic
I'm actually shocked that they didn't tone down Yaiba being a complete psychopath. I know they said they were gonna make changes for the remake, so maybe they will use it to emphasize how Yaiba grows as a person. Like yes, Yaiba develops as a person throughout the manga, but the thing, is that the early portion the manga suffers from serious early installment weirdness because it was more of a gag manga so characters act in such a completely different manner that made more sense in the early gag context, but as the manga developed more action-paced and serious, the thing just make Yaiba look weirdly OOC when you look back.
Anyway OP, the next episode is Onimaru kicking Yaiba's ass until he is humbled so...
Did you not get the note when he faceplanted into the street sign, ultimately lost the duel, and got berated by the grandma?
Yes, he's an entitled little shit and the author clearly shows that Onimaru was not only in the right but also clearly superior in his technique. And in the next episode, he will paint the walls with the kid, thus kicking off the actual story - Yaiba will have to learn how to be a proper warrior, while Onimaru will be seduced by the dark side.
are you well? did yaiba do something to you to make you so butthurt?
You know, I really enjoyed the snapping sound of shinai clashing with each other. It's almost like ASMR, makes me wish there was an anime about kendo that focuses on using them more.
ultimately lost the duel
He won that fight. But it was an anything goes street fight, so it wasn't a pure test of swordsmanship which he has already lost.
He's still mad about his pigeons.
Sayaka (forma Kaguya) is pretty cute
And? Why does this remake bother you so much?
right now HE'S the villain.
And it's great
Yaiba gets pissed at Onimaru for beating up Kagetora
as soon as their duel is over he trains by beating up Kagetora
lol this retard
imagine the sex
The entire series is about swordfighting specifically. Yes, it was a test of swordsmanship, Onimaru even said so, and Yaiba failed it because he's an immature little shit. Now he has to actually git gud.
Yes, it was a test of swordsmanship, Onimaru even said so
And Yaiba would say so too. But he and Onimaru had different ideas of what a sword fight is. Yaiba was still operating off of jungle rules where all that underhanded stuff is fair game. But fights like that don't tell you who is more skilled with a sword specifically. That's why Yaiba, who is clearly the weaker swordsman, was able to win.
I don't have experience with the manga or the original anime but to me it looks like Yaiba isnt really that good at swordfighting at all but it just freakishly strong and has good instincts from growing up in the jungle. Looks like in a brawl he'd beat onimaru's ass but onimaru smokes him in actual swordplay
2 episodes in
OMFG WHEN DOES MC GET CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?!?!?!?!
Go back to watching Netflix shows, retard.
Yaiba is a complete little shit but its pretty funny and entertaining so I don't mind. Team Onimaru tho, he did nothing wrong.
oguri musashi when
Kaguya not in the Top 10
Holy mother of shit taste.
And he did listen to granny when she scolded him for fighting dirty. So it's already clear that he's going to change.
Yeah my impression on the second episode is that Yaiba started Onimaru down the path of oni on accident
Would you draw the demon blade?
Yes
So, what are the differences between this anime, the previous adaptation and the manga?
This one is less censored than the original anime. The manga has content that both adaptations seem to cut for some reason like Onimaru's family
As competitive and ambitious as he is, he probably would have ended up taking up that sword anyway. And apparently in the manga his grandpa was going to eventually tell him about it, so it wouldn't have remained hidden to him forever. Yaiba is just an accelerationist.
The new anime has a slower pacing than the original'that's more faithful to the manga. Both adaptations are cutting fun filler adventures though and also omitting Onimaru's family for whatever reason.
I think this show has too much animation sometimes it goes by so fast it’s hard to tell what’s happening
Onimaru's family probably makes him becoming a demon that takes over Japan a bit more awkward, so it's better to have his family be 'away' while all of that happens.
I find it properly telegraphed and easy to see personally, which is surprising because I had the same issue you mentioned with the director's previous anime Mob Psycho
full name is Iron Blade
I dunno, that's a resume I'm giving a second look.
If you think Yaiba is too cruel then 5 minutes or SpongeBob will traumatise you.
He doesn't give a shit what you think about him - he cares about what he wants to do. It's a respect thing, and you might be getting mogged by this little kid.
I was looking at the manga to see if the bath scene censored the naked shota. It didn't, his dick wasn't shown there either. Although he did get in the bath with Sayaka and grab at her before she threw him out.
But what did get toned down was the fight. They made a truck crash through an occupied building. Looking at how people are complaining about Yaiba being an asshole, I guess leaving that out was the right choice.
why does this series feel like it wants to be early dragon ball so bad? did it come first or after?
Manga only began 4 years after Dragon Ball started.
No. At least he didn't in the old anime. The rest of characters were static too and remained like that.
No, he literally becomes his deadbeat father by the end and that's the point
Doesn't Yaiba end up going to mars at the end of the series or did my Japanese fail me?
big if true
It's been over a decade since I read it so this is just what I recall. I don't remember anything in particular about Mars, maybe he did say he's going there in the epilogue, but the moon came down to Earth or they came to the moon and after that it's the sekrit fight club tournament and he became ultimate swordsman with his dad's autism lesson or something like that.
yea he went to Mars with Kusanagi sword
I'm surprised this many people have read an untranslated manga.
It's fully translated in many non-white countries
Turn-A...
I see more spics talking about this on twitter and youtube, was this popular in spanish speaking countries back then?
Onimaru did nothing wrong
Does yaiba ends up with anyone?
It's partially translated. The English scanlations are up to chapter 165 and hasn't been updated for over a year. Viz is still far behind with theirs.
Kagetora turns into a woman and then they fuck.
onimaru
It's been one episode you fucking spastic.
A little kid is acting like…a little kid!!?
