What about eddie brock and/or Flash Thompson

Agree with the points made in this video! I think one of the other things the manga does well is how it balances crazy action sciences with comedy and then absolutely heart breaking modern back stories. And it seems to flip between these scenes on a dime. But it works so well. Umbrella boy omg. And Vamola and Acrosilky to name a few.

Great video. This is hands down my favorite manga. I can't think of anything else that has as good of a combo of story, art, and characters. Just watching them hang out, and have dinner together is always a highlight.

0:49 thats definitely not true, Dandadan is already huge in japan because very famous authors like the guy who made Chainsawman have posted on social media about it and recommended it to people. Also, have you seen how insanely good his art is? idk how you see that and think "yeah this will take some fanservice to get big"

Good content, keep it up brother.

DO YOU HAVE A DISCORD

Bro kagurabachi isn't all that different. It has the spiritual energy, similar to curse energy or chakra. U said kagurabachi is changes the shonen trope because the main character uses swords and isn't trying to master spiritual energy. But the sword uses spiritual energy. It's similar to so many other series like jjk, yuji doesn't have cursed technique at first but eat sukuna finger to fight. Bro it's same in the end. Even the main character motivation is shonen like to never let sword harm other it's same. Only difference is the main character age. And my main problem with kagurabachi is philosophy that sword maker is responsible for the wrong doing of sword weilder. It's stupid and most shonen like.

Honest opinion: Kagurabachi is Mid.

Chandler rules

2:35 It seems like you're really confused about who is cast as who...

I haven't gotten all the way through the video yet, so if this is addressed later I will edit my comment, but I think the premise of a dark earth-based mystery surrounding specifically Guy Gardner, Jon Stewart, Hal Jordan, could actually work if written correcrly. Depending on what they decide to take and interpret from The source material, the story could actually turn out really well if they write something that is convincing enough. Those three lanterns specifically have always had a likeness to their home planet (obviously) and fought for it even when the Guardians and the Green Lantern corps wanted to push it to the side and not draw attention to it and would directly order them to not give their efforts to its concerns. This was a major factor of a lot of Geoff Johns Green Lantern stories in the 2010s, which are regarded to be some of the best Green Lantern content by fans including myself. I think, if they plan to adapt some of this content onto screen, this type of show could work really well in starting to build to that, as it is really a lot and to be truly done well it would take some time. Im hoping for the best, at the end of the day because of how big of a fan i am for anything DC, so we will just have to see.

this reminded of katanagatari

If this genre is something u like i would sugest more chinese based material where such trope is more common. But a word to the wise genre-fatigue is a thing. You get bored of it after a while.

Shounen isn't a genre, and I think tons of shounen exist that don't feel much like each other, and most shounen use soft magic systems. The ones that use hard magic systems are just talked about the most. I think what's different is Kagurabachi takes from a lot of shounen that haven't been seen as the exemplars. Honozono is the first true Gen Z mangaka at this level, so his influences are a lot in Hollywood cinema, and if you pay attention stories such as JJK, likely Demon Slayer, and Char feels like Eri from MHA. The Sazanami and their dynamic to Hakuri feels a lot based on the Zenin and Maki, except the narrative doesn't treat them as unsympathetic villains to be exterminated (totally different purpose). Kyora being a long mustachioed guy with literal " projection sorcery" is likely rooted in Naobito, and his intent on preserving the clan's success. I like that Honozono has a technically double sided magic system. People can do things, and then the weapons can do things, in a nutshell.

Ive liked transformers all my life but it wasnt until i left the theater after watching transformers one that it got me excited to dive back into the series as an adult with this being my first book. Losing my mind at how awesome it is

well said

Nah, this is nothing compared to idw UT I am sure Skybound will become similarly good.

It's great, but I wish they'd dial back the action for a couple issues. The story needs some room to breathe.

Correction, the main human lead in these books is named Spike Witwicky rather than Sam Witwicky. In the original cartoon the main human was named Spike and in the Bayverse films they decided to name them Sam but keep the same last name. Its an understable mistake especially if the movies are your frame of reference.

NOT at all the first dark Transformers story u should read IDW 2005-2019, it's better.

Solid video but got a chuckle out of me every time you said the war went on for a hundred years. Definitely a lot more than that

Comic Book Madman: Who knew that Transformers can get so dark?? Isn't this supposed a toy series for kids? Veteran Transformers fans: Oh you sweet summer child...

Honestly that’s a really good way of putting KB. Instead of saying “Power is good in the right hands”, it’s a story asking the big question of “Should we have power if it allows dubious people to wield it for evil?” Sojo and Kyora (two main baddies so far) each have their own unique perspectives running parallel to Chihiro. Chihiro believes power should only be used when necessary, willing to take back the problematic blades and preserve his father’s legacy. Sojo believes in the freedom of a weapon, willing to use it for its purpose and make more of them. Kyora only values a weapon as another means of profit and prosperity, willing to sacrifice his family and his own life for it.

For me it's a toss up between John Stewart and Kyle Rayner

5:20 except they might, chihiro literally told cloud gouger to lock in, and it did. insane stuff

Kagurbachi is basically like the golden age of Western media but done through an eastern lense. (Cotinairy tale about weapons that are put in place isntead of nuclear powers, lone wolf main charcater who finds himself working with his new friends, revenge story, ect...) makes it alot of fun

god since its come out I've been so hooked to the characters and battles, best manga I've read in years

Ill give it a go

Worth reading dandadan if you haven’t

I feel like u genuinely just described any other manga. Example. Devils Fruits is the power system, the power to rule em all, until Haki was introduced and now it topples the devil fruits system and is now more important, and now u introduce the complexities and levels of haki

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the video! It’s so refreshing to finally hear someone talk about Kagurabachi in a detailed way, keep up the good work!

Jessica Cruz is my personal favorite GL, she so relatable

Kyle Rayner is underrated and under utilized.

Considering what she has gone through, I think Jessica is awesome!

Recommend comic book to read about her ?

Hmmm I have to read more on her thanks for this video

Jess is my favorite!

@comicbookmadman: Why would Green Lantern make or break the DCU when we all know that Superman the movie starring Christopher Reeve kickstarted this whole DC universe, right? Why concentrate on Green Lantern when the first order of things should be Superman, Supergirl and then what dc superhero movie follows right? I am confused by your statement. Please help me understand.

I LOVE Green Lantern but this and James Gunn makes me doubt its success.

Hoping to see a yellow lantern or any other color!

based list

Fullmetal Alchemist debuted in 2001, it's as old as Bleach, nowhere near as old as Pokémon and DB. It wasn't apart of the big 3 because it was monthly, it wasn't in jump and it didn't sell as well. However I do feel it should've had as much renown as the big 3.

Black Clover!!!

When I rewatch the original Star Wars, I see what I feel Green Lantern could and should be. An exploration of worlds and cultures on an epic scale

Unfortunately it will take place on earth which I’m tired of I wanna see and dive deep into the green lantern mythos especially the cosmic side of the DC universe.

Personally, I think Dredd works best as both... and neither. Like John Wagner said, sometimes you're supposed to root for him, sometimes you're supposed to think "thank God he's not real!" I think it's this complexity that makes him compelling and unique as a character.

If you think that Dredd is a hero you are reading the comic book wrong, after all, Dredd was a brutal cop and a total fascist, he killed pro-democracy protesters without any kind of remorse.

Eh "America" isn't the best example of the Judges being straight up villian's because it focuses on a movement which from the judges perspective risks the downfall of their civilization. The best examples of Dredd being the bad guy is the small everyday day interactions which are just petty as hell. Dredd giving a guy 6 months for bleeding on the sidewalk because it counts as littering. A crook promises to "Get" Dredd when he gets out in 9 years so Dredd gives him 3 extra years for threatening a Judge Dredd gives a guy 1 single day off his 50(?) year sentences for cooperating with the investigation. Dredd saves some insane woman's life, she kisses him as a thank you. So he gives her 6 months for prostituting herself to a judge.

Dredd is better as a hero BECAUSE he's better as a villain! That's kinda the point of an "anti-hero"! They balance on a fine edge!

It is an interesting take. I think of it as the logical ending to the axiom "when manliness is outlawed, only outlaws will be manly". So many societies in history have broken down because of lawlessness and lawlessness thrives in areas where men don't lead. Whether by apathy or circumstances, weak men lead to poor morals. Poor morals lead to collapse of societies.
