I know this is the the LQ submission and I'm grateful for it, but I feel like pages 3 and 4 should be swapped. The way it's set up right now doesn't flow correctly with the dialogue.

Page 28, Heracles invented dumbbells.
Or so I thought but upon googling the origin of dumbbells, they were actually invented in Ancient Greece, some say around 2000 years ago. Though Heracles in this manga was born around 4000 years ago (2000BC) so he's still using them 2000 years early.
Furthermore, the first dumbbells were club-shaped unlike modern dumbbells so Heracles is likely getting divine inspiration for his creation so that he can see into the future.
TLDR: Heracles got strong by asking the gods how people in the future did their bodybuilding and ended up building exercise equipment.

Ares, the god of CHIN!

thanks for translation '-'7

 

[Batotopls]

holy shit you weren't kidding when you said low quality

 

[Dantrig]

I didn't really expect this manga to be factual, since it is about a tournament against the gods. But its really sad that the author messed up the back story of such easy to research and famous characters like Heracles and Achilles. You can just go to the Wikipedia page to prove him wrong.The only thing that was right this chapter was that they were both Greek.

 

[Panzercracker]

Lol, Heracles is demi-god, son of Zeus, he is strong since the birth, he is fucking a weak brat like this mamga. The author really love "training" thing.

 

[ShinGetsu]

In the mythology Herakles literally strangled two snakes Hera send to kill him in the few seconds after he was born.

And the author uses training arc instead ? Lame. Really lame.

 

[zdarkbrz_816]

so they're using BC?... I guess we'll see Jesus Christ soon

 

[agtra]

I know that you guys are all concerned about accuracy and some shit but you guys always forget that reality can be whatever the author wants. Especially since it's the story of Gods the author use the excuse of "there is some misconception with humanity understanding of Gods origin"

 

[Hounder]

@zdarkbrz_816 The "B.C." is actually accurate. But, the time-frame they are using puts Heracles being over millennia before the Greek Empire.

 

[zdarkbrz_816]

I see... it just sounded somewhat strange to see polytheistic gods using Christ's birth as reference.

 

[Centurionzo]

You know, if feel weird seeing they actually using Christ birth as a reference date.

Also why does Heracles need training ?

 

[Siquall]

Yeah, Heracles will probably be brutally murdered at the end, he is the perfect hero image.

 

[Hounder]

@zdarkbrz_816 They have also had "Adam" as a combatant, and showed Satan, so this is essentially a compilation of every "religious" and "myth" based belief currently known. Granted, the focus is on the better known ones, such as Greek, Nordic myths, Cristian, Buddhist, and and couple of others.

 

[bosbarret]

But heroes are normally humans or demi-gods, not gods

 

[Hasshi]

I think the order of pages 3 and 4 are switched.

 

[ultraleaf]

I like how Shiva getting denied his turn has become a running joke.
