Man every time they talk about the jaw being this great shit I think how lucky Jack is that bum Musashi isnt around for a chopping session.

 

[Kampfarsch]

Feel like I have read this chapter 9 times already

 

[googygoofy666]

Damn whole month just to describe the jaw

 

[JagiMain200]

Attack on Titan Anomalocaris move over Baki Rahen jawless fish is the new star in town

The delay was a bit much, into another two week hiatus, but man I just love reading this shit

I don't remember Kizaki confiding in Hanayama about his worries 9 times over, but my memory's not the best.

Come on Itagaki! You already promised us a double issue after a week long break, before the four week hiatus!

Just give us weekly chapters of whatever you worked on during the last month!

 

[lomez]

Does double issue mean two chapters, or is that just about the magazine?

 

[Rodemu]

I really like how you can always feel the impact and speed of the punches and kicks in Grappler Baki. Even when Jack slams his jaws shut you can hear the sounds and force behind it. Itagaki really is a master at what he does. The only other manga that I feel the same about is Usogui though Baki remains n1 in those categories for me.

Thank you for the translation!

I kind of want every chapter to end with Jack getting punched in his mouth for the next 2 volumes. It's a fun image.

It's just a magazine thing, it's for when the magazine is about to take a week off for a public holiday like golden week or something. It keeps the count at the right number:
Issue 1 (week 1)
Issue 2+3 (week 2)
No magazine (week 3)
Issue 4 (week 4)

You can't just nudge them back into place. That's not how teeth work Itagaki. They're set deep inside of the jaw and maxilla. Either they completely snapped or his bones are shattered.

i think the teeth themselves were bent, kinda like a prong on a fork, and it was just bent back into place

pac man ass bitch. i'm rooting for hanayama but we know he a jobber now.

 

[Zunko]

This jaw hype would have been better before the fight against Pickle.

 

[NeverAnother]

Since the first few chapters Itagaki has been on and on about the bite force and the jaw leading to power throughout the body. Is there any chance that he marries the two concepts? As in: the “bite” is what holds the prey in place at large, then the "bite down” into a “clenched jaw” yields the perfect tension as well as positioning for the most devastating "response" possible.
With Hanayama, if Jack can find a way to “bite” the rawest form of pure power that has been represented in the manga so far, then it means that the technique of Jack’s new form is all about how to secure the “bite”. Right? Victory would be assured after it but getting TO that point is the journey and refinement he has to get around.

 

[Talilover]

So that whole “beat you without taking a bite” was pure bullshit huh, like not even going to acknowledge it?

With how long chapters take to come out do you reckon Itagaki just straight up forgets what he wrote a few chapters ago? Could also explain why he have to be reminded how scary biting is every single chapter
