GOLDEN MAN - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Missing Golden Man

[TokenOtaku]

I didn't expect that twist at the end. That threw me off.

 

[Keshire]

This looks like a take on Stallone's Samaritan. "You keep calling me the good guy."

 

[Black_Beat]

Perhaps the translator mixed up the male and female pronouns...the grammar structure feels like English is a 2nd language for them.

Oops, changing them now.

edit: fixed

Yes, you could say that English is my 3rd language(lol). That's why I'm recuiting Proofreader/scriptwriter. Wanna apply?

Some unnatural English at points

Good work for noticing. perhaps you could help me proofread. Wanna join?

i dont get it, does the never seen goldenman's face before?

also mam got the entire new york to protect, truly a hero

The team knew how the original Golden Man look like. That's why they knew this new guy isn't Golden Man

 

[tremor3258]

Oh this is a fantastic start.

 

[T-sama]

You know what, dollar store gay Dr Octopus is kinda interesting.

I'm gonna call it, even if he is a villain it was not his idea to take Golden Man place, instead it's all a plan from the real Golden Man, maybe he's pulling a Metro Man, he's just tired of being a hero or something.

Actually, if Mc was a villain wouldn't they know his identity? After all why a random nobody villain with no name would try take Golden Man place? It's more likely he's a clone or some experiment of another villain to defeat Golden Man, so he doesn't have amnesia, instead he's literally a clean slate cause he was "born" recently as an adult.

Golden Man is probably keeping an eye on him just in case.

 

[BallSacks]

the biggest mystery is why he brought the suit into the shower

also man got the entire new york to protect, truly a hero

They must have since they know that the new guy is not the original golden man

 

[sotokouya]

rarely ever seen long haired male mc, now it would be unsurprising if he was the memory-erased villain

also i wouldn't find this manga early if not for muchimaro's retweet lol

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter. The stuff at the end is what really hooked me on the series

 

[Teisson_h]

You don't wash your clothes while showing?

They probably know the amnesiac person isn't goldenman. But they aren't a hero's support team just for show - they are quick-thinking and good in teamwork. So they quickly decided out to play along with technician's lie and let the amnesiac play the role of goldenman for now.

 

[zemega]

So, something like Metro Man and Mega Mind switching place?

I thought that too but at the end of the chapter they were confused about who he was even though they said he was golden man making me believe that they know who golden man was otherwise they wouldn’t have said that it couldn’t have been him.
