[Samurai 8] When reading manga, it’s quite tough when you feel the author’s sense of ethics is off…

Actually, I secretly had a set meal of katsudon and udon! Then suddenly, I got better.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx72

It was treated as a fake Hachi because it was just too much.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Places like this and where Ann is…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a shift…

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You made it here!

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s just here, it barely counts as Hachimaru, you know…

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

While I’m having the princess go shopping on my request, I’m eating on my own.

The scene where the protagonist, who could only eat liquid food, finally eats their longed-for katsudon for the first time was cut.

Even though the protagonist changes outfits as a boost, there’s not much reaction from those around.

I’m buying a gift for the princess with my master’s money, and I’m being overcharged for it.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Katsuhachi, Ikihachi, and Sekkyohachi.

Selectable minimum protagonist

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

I dislike shifting ethical perspectives.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

If you just casually write a story for a weekly series without getting any objective opinions from anyone, it will gradually become distorted.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’ve been told this for a while now… and your bad attitude isn’t something that even Itsuku hasn’t scolded you about.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I have the impression that many readers who have been following here suddenly turned against me.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s funny to see someone with no sense of ethics talking about ethics.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

That five-empty space was saying things like, “This is the star you were in” and “You made it just in time”…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Samurai cannot acknowledge defeat…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

The purest protagonist right now.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

I think it’s different to equate a villain with the author’s ethics.

At least I hope our side is decent.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s more of an intentional depiction regarding the author and this area.

It feels like I misjudged the reader’s tolerance line.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Are you looking at me with a smug face or something? Like you’re giving me a lecture?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dissipate.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Is this your first time drawing manga? It’s so hard to read.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It was a person who joyfully drew that they pulled a prank by spilling ink on the manuscript finished by the assistant on the bonus page of Naruto.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because a type of heroine who lags behind before the growth of humanity has emerged.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you don’t let me aim properly, I’ll send it flying to a crazy place.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like the second half of NARUTO, which received a lot of criticism, was also significantly influenced by editing.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

The arrogance and self-importance of successful people are painfully apparent.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Kishihachi has a black-and-white design that doesn’t really use tones.

Both enemies and allies twist and change shape, deploying weapons and repairing damage.

In combat, it’s difficult to distinguish between people by their colors and shapes, and I honestly can’t tell who’s who, which is confusing.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I was scolded for having a bad attitude towards my Aunt.

Instead of apologizing to Ann, take advantage of the other person’s minor weaknesses.

On the contrary, the depiction of forcing someone to apologize is eerily reminiscent of domestic violence…

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

If you can’t clearly show the character’s position in the story, saying they are evil will leave the reader wondering how they should feel about it.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s just that it’s being exaggeratedly criticized online.

It’s the creator of Naruto.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s how it looks.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It’s not so much that it’s treated as a fake, but rather that I wish it weren’t real with this level of trash…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you look closely, Katsuhachi’s expression is quite infuriating.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

The interview manga was terrible too…

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The naming sense of Sam 8 is exactly the same as when they started with things like Aggai and Z’gok.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not interesting when wordplay is done with things like keychains; it just makes it confusing.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It might be quite tough that there are only strange people saying weird things in this world.

Moreover, the strange things are so out of sync that it doesn’t lead to any humor…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

I had a big global hit with my first serialization, so I didn’t have any experience with failure…

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Is there ever a situation where something looks exactly the same but is actually different, like in those threads with pictures of the real thing!?

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The scene where everyone just thought it was a normal fake, Haruna.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Samurai tend to disperse quickly if their character is decent.

Only those with a miserable personality who never admit their faults will survive at any time.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

It remains a topic of conversation even after the serialization ends.

Is it okay to say it’s a very popular manga? Master…(cough)

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When I see amateur creations like Narou or free games, the concept of karma is often portrayed so strongly that it feels excessive… yet it’s frequently treated as if it’s just a normal and natural good deed within the story.

I think this is actually quite well done for a commercial work that goes through editing.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Readers can only be taken aback by Katsu Hachi.

I didn’t realize that it was quite a significant revamp episode, with the makeover of the clumsy 88 and the introduction of Jaisune.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

I didn’t understand the situation well.

I was doing things like making copies and a bunch of other stuff, but what is it?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who was itsukara… the black guy who helped Bakuhachi?

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Just looking at the simple setting, the idea of being invincible unless you admit defeat is just too stupid.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I honestly didn’t care about this place.

“It’s already out, but then there’s something like ‘The reason you’re devoted to me is because you’re projecting your dead brother onto me…'”

It wasn’t that I was wrong; it was the part where it seemed like the devoted girl was the one at fault that I couldn’t stand.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was concerned not only about the sense of ethics but also about the inconsistency in the character’s tone in this scene.

Well, it might just have seemed unconvincing that it would lead to such a tone in the relationship.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

Life

ki

Shame

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

😜

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

When I started doing things like skill trees, I couldn’t help but want to bury my head in my hands while reading…

The excitement of a game’s skill tree comes from the fact that the player has the freedom to choose.

It’s hard to understand why a manga that can only unilaterally accept the author’s convenience isn’t at all interesting, right?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it ridiculous that Nanashi (the older brother) died by committing seppuku on his own?

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

A certain editor once said that when you want to introduce a character with questionable ethics, you should properly prepare a straight man to counter them.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

From around the second part of Naruto, it’s clear that the layout and editing influenced by the anime became uncontrollable, leading to many developments like that.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

The author mentions that manga is basically an inferior version of anime, except for cost…

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

After hyping up the strongest tag team of cats and dogs,

Both of them were trapped in a different space! I thought it might be a bit much to do that.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The skill tree is a copy of Skyrim, and I said that other things were bad the other day, but…

Was that said back then too?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because Nekohachi’s sense of ethics is also finished, I can’t say anything…

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I definitely want Professor Kishimoto to mention Samurai 8 in a public setting someday.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though I’m saying various things here, if something strange is interesting, then there’s absolutely no problem.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Katsu Hachi Fake Theory

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I only have a head now, and I’ve won! It’s funny that at the same time, my brother was beheaded and died in shame.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

After getting my head chopped off and finally scoring a point against my opponent, saying “Yay!” and feeling victorious is just way too pathetic…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seemed like Mom could help out together with Bakuhachi, too.

Why are you taking someone away as if abducting them the moment I take my eyes off?

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems that the name “Kagizamurai” includes kanji numerals, but “Hanaichi” also includes them, which is not good.

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s not good to just list settings, of course.

I think what’s really bad is that just looking at the revealed setting, it instantly feels shallow with a sense of “this is boring…”

It’s clear that I’m so focused on thinking about the setting that I haven’t considered at all how that setting will tie into the story going forward…

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think there’s still more interesting aspects to explore in the keychain settings…

The combination with the samurai and the uniqueness of each keychain…

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I like that a samurai who was beheaded and died in disgrace and a monster who is smiling after being beheaded were in the same week.

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It was a miracle with various things happening around the same time as Demon Slayer.

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

While it might work as a clever tactic in a match if you’re beheaded, it doesn’t mean anything in a training session, even if you use such a trick.

126: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t understand the tactics of battle at all.

The settings for the scatter body are often scrutinized, but the holder settings are also crazy.

It seems that you can freely transform and separate to guard as much as you want, and you can also make guns, but the limitations are unclear.

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In this worldview, a mentality like Muzan’s is actually correct and strong for a samurai…

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The scattering was really bad.

It’s not that you can’t lose if you’re physically targeted; as long as you don’t lose on a mental level, you haven’t lost.

That’s going to be a strong world view, and there’s no catharsis at all… right?

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Are you saying that the ronin, who was not a samurai, acknowledged defeat somewhere in their heart?

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Can you stop critiquing in such a serious tone…?

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

At least if either the neck or the stomach is cut, the body will explode and scatter.

Make it a setting with that level of tension…

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

People say the settings are too complicated, but each one seems interesting yet is not explored at all.

I think the biggest reason it has become difficult to read is the evasive phrases rather than the settings.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Gahachi… it’s your work.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m rereading Naruto right now, and it’s truly a masterpiece.

It’s fascinating how the same person can write such different works.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

The star of 😉← Even if an unnamed person explains this, you won’t understand.

144: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

We have lost Giyu Tomioka…

146: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If influenced by Battle Angel Alita

At least please properly imitate the scene where a cyborg’s motor burns out and their limbs become immobile during combat.

147: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

I think the portrayal of being naïve and socially awkward is intentional.

I could just about accept that I ate because I was hungry, but I couldn’t handle the sinister lecture that followed.

It’s not a thoughtless loser, but rather a cunning kind of loser.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even a hit writer is like that in their raw form.

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The collection of quotes was quite fruitful.

The amazing sense of language remains unchanged.

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I really liked the coloring in Gahachi, and since he has proper artistic skills, I hope he can succeed in other areas too.

153: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I have to say, they’re naturally off in their understanding, so there’s really no need to deliberately mislead them.

It’s gone beyond a unique personality and has become a wild outburst.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

Having a lot of evasive lines means that the main story is progressing slowly as well.

Even though there’s a whole episode dedicated to the appearance of Fudō Myōō, the story hardly progresses!

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

What works have characters with a sharp sense of ethics that require a retort?

I can only think of “Don’t say it’s a mystery.”

156: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It was almost the same as what World Trigger was doing, like getting back at them with an unyielding spirit.

That was overwhelmingly more interesting over there, though.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

The setting of the samurai won’t allow for any struggle, and you can’t become stronger with that setting…

Is Anne going to be okay after the final episode…?

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Until then, everything had been dragged out for so long, so mastering all of the Golden Night Yasha style was refreshing!

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s often said that “if you don’t acknowledge defeat, it’s a pointless win,” but I think that’s a bit off.

I expect the severity similar to the Derby battle in JoJo.

I believe that throughout the entire work, aspects like the princess’s living flower and the training to transform the samurai spirit into a sword were quite emphasized, at least when it comes to the state of one’s heart (regardless of the actual character’s personality portrayal).

162: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

But it was good that I could understand it with the living shame combo jump with my older brother…

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think about 20% of the rice balls are bad.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

I should have done something completely different, but I ended up drawing a comic similar to the previous work. Why did that happen?

170: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’ve seen 8 and ♾️ at the end of the super-fast spinner…

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most people had a lukewarm reaction by the first episode.

175: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There was no dramatic reason to specifically differentiate between samurai and warriors.

Since most of the enemies you fight are samurai, it doesn’t feel like samurai are valuable in that world when reading the manga.

179: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Editing is important, huh…

180: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Why is male chauvinism worsening because of NARUTO…?

181: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

However, the editor-in-chief ended up crying…

185: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I feel like the idea and ethics in this ANDV episode are naturally like this.

The gap with modern society is tough to watch.

186: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

8

I felt a strong sense of frustration when they easily did the one thing I desperately wanted them to stop.
