Please refer to the Wikipedia link I sent again: Saeki no Mao (birth name), Kukai (monk name) and Kobo Daishi (posthumous title) are one in the same

Pardon me, but Ch 249 outright points out that this Mao child will later be known by the title Koubou Daishi - a famous monk, calligrapher and poet who founded the Shingon school of Buddhism. Legend has it that he was the inventor of the Kana syllabary of the Japanese language (ie invented the...

Prayed and asked for a portion of power perhaps? If Yayoi is Pokemon/SMT, then Seimei could very well be Shaman King

Ahoy there, hope you've been well. I was visiting the Dark Gathering board on the Baidu boards and I stumbled upon an interesting post about a correction made in Volume 14. Specifically in Ch 55, on Page 16 panel 7. Here in the original magazine chapter, the Divine Generals claimed the...

For future visitors, to help clarify what is meant by "myriad gods" (八百万の神) in the Demon Marbas commentary, Shinto beliefs has three main variations of Kami: Amatsukami (天津神) - roughly "the gods of the heavenly realm", refers to Kami who reside in the sacred fields of heaven Takamagahara, plus...

Late response perhaps, but for future visitors, this is a slight joke between 胸の大きさ/"the size of the chest" and 器の大きさ/"the size of the vessel". Both of which Mao Mao reckons Lihua has larger ones. In Asian languages, whilst 器 is regularly used to mean "vessel" or "container", when used relative...

"The Bugle Call" is official in the sense that it's what the author duo and Shueisha came up with, but whether it's "official, good and fitting" is a whole other matter. Case in point, "Attack on Titan" for Shingeki no Kyojin/進撃の巨人 was what Isayama-sensei and Kodansha came up with, so it's...

Glad to be of help! If you do decide to use some of these, make sure to give readers a heads-up so they don't get too confused about the change. Explaining some of the rationale ought to help with the transition. Also, not sure if I'm overstepping my bounds, but since this Kyoto arc is dealing...

Greetings and thank you for your hard work on Dark Gathering! I only recently got into the series and am a fan of how the Graduates are executed and presented. Is it alright if I submit my ideas for smoother and more eloquent names for the 7 employed in this Kyoto campaign? My trick with these...

All of the Volume Bonus Reports have been great, but this one is just absolute gold. Kaizaki/Hishiro and Ohga/Kariu went without staying, but thank you Yayoi Sou for finally confirming Yoake and Onoya as a pair. I definitely needed greater evidence than Volume 14's Bonus Report. (I got a real...

For the uninitiated, some neat facts about the Volumes: 1. The reason the Volumes are coming out after so long since the serialisation ended is because Yayoi Sou needed to re-adapt the story from vertical scrolling Webtoon format to horizontal Manga format. That means segmenting, rearranging...

@sacchiri is right. If it was Archery, it would've been far more common for 弓道 (Kyudou) to be used as the term, especially since Japanese Archery has the same traditional air of "prestige" as Kendo Hence, 射撃部 in this case should be the "Shooting Club", in the sporting sense. It would be far I...

@AppleJinx Nope, not at all. The Kamado Family's ancestors, Sumiyoshi and Suyako, were merely saved by Yoriichi, who also gifted his earrings and adapted his Breath of the Sun as the Dance of the Fire God for them. So rejoice, there is nothing special about Tanjirou at all. No privileged...

Shouldn't it be "monkhood" rather than "priesthood"? We are dealing with Buddhism after all. @A-tan As ridiculous as Yoriichi is, I don't think this chapter particularly contradicted anything. It just showed us how high up the sky is. Recall that the reason the derivative Breaths exist: though...

When you read it all at once, Astra will seem simple. But back when it was serialising, every week/fortnight that a chapter comes out, speculation was crazy in every fandom. It was a ton of fun to see everyone ruminate over new stuff that get revealed, seeing if they piece into anything already...

Curse you Nendou!! You know, I've always reserved some sympathy for Yumehara, because she keeps getting the short end of the stick. Not only does she get overshadowed by every other female character, but even the author isn't sure what to do with her, to the point that the character herself...

Seiyuu joke alert: on the page when Yumehara kept going "I messed up, I messed up", it's a reference to Yukari Tamura's character from Steins;Gate. Suzuha Amane's "shippai da, shippai da" scene was infamous and really sad, so I personally thought this was a clever albeit mean reference.

Thank you Anons for keep going with this. As much as I also find that Shinobu's chances of survival are exceptionally low, consider this: Tamayo is just as screwed, what with being stuck to Muzan. Will Gotouge-sensei dare to remove both of our resident medics/scientists from the home team...

Oyakata-sama may be at death's doorstep, and this less-than-30 man still has so much class than his clan's thousand-year old nemesis. I love it. Still worried that Muzan might decide to turn them all into Demons, as insult to injury https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZanam1YEdg Hitotsu Toya...

It's not so clear here, so here's an explanation for how Tanjirou snapped Tomioka out of his funk. The key were two verbs Tanjirou included in his sentence: 託する (takusuru; for "entrust") and 繋ぐ (tsunagu; this one is tricky, "connect/fasten/preserve (without being severed)/keep (something...
