Daiakutou Shounen - Ch. 4 - The Slimy Minor Villain

[zekilee]

Basically a "villain" who tries anything bad but ends up doing good vs a "hero" who does what he thinks it's good but doesn't know it's evil

 

[MeganeR]

wat.. this went darker than I thought it'd be considering the mangaka.

Not sure how I feel about this lol

 

[Weiss4Lyfe]

wow.. aint no way japanese mangaka make their character execute their villain instead of use talk no jutsu... hopefully this wont change

 

[Bacoose]

Oh wuh oh a hero who believes all evil should be destroyed vs a villain who believes heros aren't good dynamic

I knew that Sabaru would end up becoming a villain/anti-hero himself though I wasn't expecting him to actually have a power (to be invisible). Seems like he was inspired by how Eta is a "villain" so he's choosing to be a "hero". I assume Sabaru knows that history won't view him as a hero but he sees Eta trying to do the right thing despite being a "villain" as incredibly inspiring. Eta is the "darkness" fighting in the light so he'll be the "light" fighting in the dark

"I work alone!"

"You have a giant goat man."

"He's my imaginary friend and doesn't count!"

That's so endearingly pathetic.

I'm enjoying this manga as much as I did with Chris Claremont's run of X-Men back in the day. However, I didn't expect this dark twist, at least so early.
Thank you for translating this and the Twitter extras!

damn... this one kinda remind me of zetman
now we know how that boy can slip in the truck before

Karasuma's power being invisibility is a great indicator of what he is. He wants to be a hero, but he doesn't want to be seen as lame/cringe by his peers.

So he got the best power for the purpose of not being seen.

I'm so used to "rivals turning into friends" trope that I did not expect that twist in the last pages, lol. I was surprised in a good way.

 

[MaCl0wSt]

Didn't expect that ending.
Thanks for the chapter!

 

[elemint5]

well... what a twist 😮

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

This trope never fucking dies no matter how you disguise it. The TRUE EDGY RIVAL is finally revealed.
It would've been so much better if he really didn't have any powers...

 

[tremor3258]

Well this is going to a darker place than I thought it would so quickly

Karasuma wants to be a cool hero, but for some reason can't. (Maybe the green blood on Eta's face was Karasuma's, and it's the reason why Karasuma can't be a "cool" hero?) I figure he might have specifically killed this villain because he would've revealed Eta's identity otherwise.

Karasuma's power being invisibility is a great indicator of what he is. He wants to be a hero, but he doesn't want to be seen as lame/cringe by his peers.

Well, it's also the perfect power for assassination, and a way to easily kill Eta despite his nigh-invincibility when transformed.
