Kato is definitely just putting Igarashi in the same position as the twin kunoichi. Igarashi's likely itching to kill some women, and the twins want to kill him as revenge for skinning Hime-chan. Kato stays uninvolved either way. I'm sure Kato isn't exactly thrilled to have the "crazed serial...

just a sacrifice Shimada had to make to be worthy of the Jonin title

Yeah, Kuji Shinnosuke makes very heavy use of 3D models for just about everything in this series.

I think it’s interesting that the girl living with him also has one. The way she talks about Ryuko’s odd ninja-jobs and the fact that she didn’t really react to Ryuko saying “Jonin Shimada” makes me think she isn’t a ninja, yet she still wears it when she goes out? Could be that Ryuko gave her...

Upcoming events will be very important, Dombros… We’ll either see our hero fall or witness his true power. We’ve seen that Dominic’s durability/healing factor let him tank and very quickly heal from the decently deep cut to the skull by Igarashi using one of Marishiten 3.5’s “super hard blades”...

Yeah, it's probably just a play on "Yamada Taro" with Jonin Shimada's name instead. The kanji used on the card is the same as his name, "嶋田" (Shimada).

The way it's used in the Japanese raw is "環世界" (kaisekai), which is the exact biological term used in Japanese for "Umwelt", or the "Self-Centered World". It has furigana (side-text that indicates pronunciation) written as "ウムヴェルト", which means "Umwelt". So the term is intended to be pronounced...

The NIN NIN Manual Section 7, Page 2 (Column: "Who are the Shirunin?") confirms that the title of "Bochu-Jutsu Instructor" is nominal. The title means nothing and serves no actual purpose. While Kato made it to the rank of Chunin despite previously being a Shirunin, Igarashi remains a Shirunin...

Shirunin that are currently serving as “learning material” for the kunoichi are referred to as “instructors” of Bochu-Jutsu by members of NIN, despite the title being completely nominal (mentioned in the NIN NIN Manual). This chapter gives us new info on what exactly the Shirunin are subject to...

This is a really good summary!! :) I just have a couple corrections, to make sure all the details are as clear as possible. We don't know what state that [Koji Kashin] is currently in, baby or otherwise. While [Tara] of the [Seven Lords] is still a baby and the [other members] of the [Seven...

That’d be Umwelt’s 10th chapter, I think. https://mangadex.org/chapter/c844307c-4a84-450b-8136-3f6e6535bc6d The frog girl in “Designs” is the same character that’s present in the oneshot. Definitely expect similar action scenes and convoluted scientific concepts from this work as well.

The term "Neo-Seven" is pretty new, introduced by Ozu in Chapter 106. I don't blame you for missing it in the confusing spiel he gives to Hachiya in that chapter.

The Neo-Seven are what would have been the next generation of the Seven Lords, if not for Tara attaining a younger body and interrupting what should have been the old Seven dying off and being replaced by the new (Neo) Seven. The Neo-Seven, as a group, are now attempting to overthrow the old...

I guess something as broad as “living on his own” or “going on a journey” doesn’t count as an attachment to the living world? It isn’t really clear how much time passed since he left the desert, but the time of day definitely changed so he didn’t die immediately.

Cowie’s lingering attachment was his brother. By seeking independence and leaving the place where he spent so long with Mowie, he no longer had any lingering attachments.

It's promotional artwork done for the @Iam_a_HERO twitter account!

Yeah, her name is written as “十一”, but the furigana reads “ト イチ”.

So far, she just seems like the (now former?) leader of an unknown Seven Lords-level clan. The grandson reminds me of Kayama, even though their eyebrows aren’t quite the same.

While it could technically be a recurring joke just because it involves phones, the actual joke behind the interactions is different in both cases. In chapter 68, Ozu is unintentionally speaking with very informal speech, and then he corrects himself with more formal language. In this chapter...

I’m waiting for Juro to start throwing weights at his enemies like frisbees
