[Karakuri Circus] I can’t take off my gloves! I love you, San!

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:50Yeahx16

I can’t take off my gloves!

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:50Yeahx16

The gloves won’t come off!!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:50

I feel like I’m going to be crushed to death by a gate that looks like a shredder.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:53

>>3Rengoku was strong! Rengoku was ruthless! He killed the Killers to an astonishing degree! He fought through! He killed through!

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:50

Gloves
I can’t take it off!

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:50Yeahx1

I can’t take off my gloves!!!

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:51Yeahx8

Mr. Can’t Take Off His Gloves!
Aren’t you Mr. Can’t Take Off Your Gloves!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:53

Looking at it again, Rolling Arms has a nice design…

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:53

These guys were weak…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:54

>>9It’s the very beginning, so there’s no helping it!

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:54Yeahx9

I can’t take off my gloves!

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:56

I also love the magician’s marionette Aquarius, inspired by Michele Soavi’s bird-headed killer thriller film “Aquarius.”

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:59

>>12Looking back now, the fact that the doll maker mentioned at the end is Michele Asobi is just a pun.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:57Yeahx5

Looking back, it’s funny, but at the time, it was really scary to be in a place like this and almost die…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)21:58

Yin-Yang! Treasure Keeper! Aquarius! They’re all nice designs, but the bald guy…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:00Yeahx9

I know it’s odd to say this about a thread with such a confusing structure, but it’s way too risky for it not to come off, even without considering the hell of it.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:04

>>16Well, I think normally it can be taken off easily.
I was just panicking or something was stuck, so I couldn’t take it off!

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:03

I often think that it’s a difficult arm to put strength into.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:03

I wonder why “Mr. Can’t Take Off His Gloves” became so popular…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:20

>>18Was it popular!?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:06

I was wondering if there’s any point in letting a marionette shoot guns like in Gun of the Feather.
If we’re talking about letting someone shoot a big gun that they normally couldn’t, then it’s okay, and considering the original intended enemies for the marionette, it might actually be a relatively rational design?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:11

>>20It seems that, theoretically, passing through a puppet will make gunfire count as a acrobatics check…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:06

It’s that thing where, just when you suddenly need to poop while working, it’s hard to take off your gloves…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:09Yeahx5

>>21You made an easy-to-understand analogy…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:08

The term “string puppet” is really cool.
It seems to be an old way of calling a marionette.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:09

If we think of these guys as originating from Kuroga Village, the ridiculous gimmicks might originally be for automata.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:11

I can’t take off my gloves! Brr brr!

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:11Yeahx3

I remember laughing a lot at the end-of-book bonus comic where the assistants were constantly asking, “How do you move such a big doll with that thread?” “The thread is loose, isn’t it?” “Have you thought about how it moves based on how many centimeters it moves?” “What material is it?” “This is going to get tangled, right?” and I was crying from it.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:13

Isn’t the kidnapping group overwhelmingly stronger compared to the kill group?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:17

>>28The puppet from the Bukkoroshi group was quickly destroyed twice, the Rolling Arms is in a state of perdition, and Aquarius is getting wrecked without achieving much in terms of results; it’s just too much.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:14

It’s really stupid that the wealthy are breaking all the mechanical dolls in their internal fighting…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:16

>>29Well, in reality, even in the story, the villagers who are making a living from practical tests of the mechanisms are treated like fools for using the mechanisms for purposes other than their original intent, such as killing and crime… Aashihana and the others…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:14

I was thinking what kind of gimmick it is to have Aquarius summon a rabbit with fangs from a top hat to attack and fight, but it seems quite effective against automata…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:19

When I reread it, there are quite a few puppet users from the Kill ‘Em All group who have mysteriously died…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:19

The kidnapping group is too strong with Theogoche and Grimoldi.
There are even things like the Gun of Feather, which has a gun attack and is the size of a toy, and characters like Dakudami who decapitate puppet masters—how is that even possible?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:19

There’s no point in cherishing a puppet and manipulation skills if you don’t know what to use them for…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:20

Well, I suppose the fact that Ashihana-san’s Pulcinella was broken before that is a handicap, but even if one more Pulcinella is added, it doesn’t really close the gap in power, does it…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:20

My doll is the strongest.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:25

>>38I like this evil smile.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:21

A scene that comes to mind every time I can’t take off my gloves.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:21

For some reason, Nakata was locally edited and posted a lot before and after the anime adaptation, but it didn’t actually become popular!!

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:22

I don’t understand how it’s moving with those spikes on the lower body.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:22

Grimoldi-kun, who has been endlessly complained about for being so rigid from the past to the present.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:40

>>42It’s unfair that you get a big moment and shine like that…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:23

I wonder how the doll that was fighting with Dakudami fights.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:28

>>43It has a mechanism that looks exactly like the weird棒振り回し machine that Ushio had to fight in the Ushitora’s Hammer chapter, and I felt sad reading it thinking, “This marionette is clearly a dud…”

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:25

Why couldn’t you take off your gloves?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:26

– Pulcinella (fighting with Amakusa and getting humbled)
– Yin and Yang (blown up according to the user in the Theogoche)
– Treasure Keeper (Teogoché, oh… my treasure…)
– Aquarius (engaged in battle with Grimoldi under Hazama’s command but was crushed)
– Rolling Arms (the gloves don’t come off, Mr. Purgatory)
– A shabby rotating robot of the zombie type (the user of Dakudamii loses with their neck and arms cut off).
“Wasn’t it good? The puppet of the Killers.”

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:27

The doll I designed… Hehehe… is the strongest!

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:28

There should have been someone who fell into the trap in the courtyard.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:30Yeahx2

>>49(There were quite a few deaths off-screen for the killing group…)

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:28Yeahx2

In the anime version, I love “Leave it to me and Rolling Arms!”
“I can’t take off the gloves! It’s a very intense performance and I’m quite satisfied.”
By the way, he was the voice of Mitsuki in BORUTO.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:31Yeahx3

>>50I had become a valuable marionette of the infamous killing group… I remember how back then, the anonymous users were so moved that they created a Nakata folder and collected images of Nakata’s death.
So that was how it was…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:28Yeahx5

I won’t let you escape, Silver!

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:30

>>51Collapse!!

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:34

>>51I think all the works are quite enjoyable except for the mediocre nipples… the female body…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:29Yeahx3

The kidnapper’s marionette has Grimoldi, Gun of Feather, Theogoche, Dakudamii, Babyloro, and Grissel on standby, up to Spade…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:50

>>52In the Spade killer group.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:29

Aquarius seemed like it wouldn’t be bad with the battle of nails and the surprise attack of the hat-wearing rabbit.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:31

The assistants have made a heartfelt design to make them shine in the manga.
You break it in a clumsy way.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:34Yeahx3

If only the original Pulcinella were still around…!
“The club of Pulcinella can break through concrete in one hit! It’s settled!””W-what is this marionette’s power?!””H-help— dodge it, Pulcinella!!!””Pulcinella is like a baby… the level is just too different…” with many of Ms. Ashika’s cool and iconic lines, even the first Pulcinella rushed through the battlefield…!!

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:37Yeahx6

>>59When I reread it after a long time, the first match’s Amashika-san had an incredible smell of a useless punk…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:39

>>59Right after this, taking children hostage and having a smug look is really giving off a small-time vibe.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:37

I liked Grisel’s outfit; it was really lewd.
It was subtly the key to the final escape.
Because of that, I’ve developed an unusual preference for high-leg costumes with a threads-eye design that makes hands look unusually big.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:46

>>60It’s nice, isn’t it, the large-hand high-leg doll…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:38

I just learned about the original concept of Aquarius for the first time…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:38Yeahx4

I’m glad that Pluchinella No. 2 performed so coolly in the Sahara because the first model was such a mess…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:39

Dakudami seems not to be very useful in doll battles.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:44

>>64That’s a machine that has completely shifted to interpersonal combat, right?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:45

>>77What if you cut the thread?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:46

>>78I think the “doll battle” is probably referring to the automata.
If it’s a battle between puppeteers, cutting the strings would be quite effective, right?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:50

>>80Ah, I see. I’m sorry.
The styles of doll battles are all too unique, I don’t understand them at all…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:40

A person whose character changed because their role changed due to the sense of live action often found in manga.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:40

You really managed to survive all the way to the final battle and have a cool last moment, Amashika-san…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:41

My doll is the strongest.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:41

The end of trying to resolve everything alone when just one mistake could ruin everything is indeed questionable.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:41

Well, I think after Asihana made a really small move and then smiled wryly while quickly leaving, there was already a sense of, “Huh? This guy isn’t just a pawn, is he?” So I believe it follows the established route.
That aside, the initial match has an extraordinary sense of being minor.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:42Yeahx2

There is no predetermined course for a troubled manga spanning two volumes!

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:42Yeahx1

In the bonus comic at the end of the volume, I had the assistants come up with ideas for dolls, saying, “If there’s a good one, I might make it active!” while doing so.
I loved how you had that wicked smile, saying “I’ll destroy everything in the story and my idea is the strongest!”

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:43

>>73Boss character of Karakuri Circus.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:47

>>76It’s the beginning of the Karakuri Circus!

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:42

What in the world is Grimoldi, who thrives in every situation while constantly changing its user?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:43Yeahx1

It’s true that everything after volume 4 is definitely added later, but Amashika has already established and is actively developed as a character within the range of the first three volumes, so it’s not a matter of character change based on live performance.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:49

The cause of Zonah disease has also been traced back to a platinum-made ultra-small automaton.
I guess they weren’t thinking about anything at first.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:50

Asihana-san, who ended up with a disadvantageous role to convey the greatness of Arurukan to the readers.
This person is always getting stuck with unfavorable roles…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:51

Grimoldi has a spinning blade hat for area attack, can bind both unarmed and armed opponents with both hands free, has mobility that ignores terrain in caterpillar form, can surprise with an extendable neck for increased reach, and possesses above average sturdiness and ease of handling, yet the threads are still quite stiff…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)22:53

>>86In the enemy’s time, they rampage with threats from horror performances.
Since being taken by Katsu and Ashihana, it has been very active as the mount in the latter half of Karuizawa.
In the Sahara, a great battle to save Fatima from a pinch.
After that, under Ashihana’s command, he is sent into the Pantalone battle, engaging in a desperate mutual blow.
What is this guy…?
