GOLDEN MAN - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Dead End

[Liar]

Oof, like every sentai I've watched, I'm blue balled for the thrilling conclusion until next episode.

Well, the danger has now increased quite a lot, which means epic fights, nice.
Also, regarding that menacing looking reporter with the sharp teeth, the one who criticises Golden Man, I think he was a tsundere all along! 😂
I mean look how quickly he reacted to Moroboshi's request of leaving the scene and warn the people in the surroundings (I think he is actaully a fan), instead of staying and have a proper record of how probably Golden Man is inefficient and then play the video on TV as he criticises him. I guess that he actually liked how earnest was Moroboshi earlier by asking help and rely on others.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into it, maybe the guy's survival senses told him it was a bad idea to stay, but the way the cheerful reporter reacted makes me think it's more likely the first theory 😅

Thanks for the chapter. I'm really loving this manga.

I adore just how much the city and its people are a character in this. I feel like the superhero boom has largely ignored the whole "saving people" part of the superhero thing to focus instead on the character driven ultra-danger and world stakes. This isn't just a recent thing, of course, there's all sorts of examples of that stuff through the ages, and I'd actually say that most superhero comics largely ignore the saving people idea. It's in the background; they're confronting world-ending dangers and thus saving everyone, but the world isn't a character. It's abstract.
Here, it's not abstract. They're defined people. Crowd shots are detailed, did you notice? There's always people in the crowds, never indistinct shapes. You can pick up on their character a little, even. The handsome-ass wetsuit surfer guy, the other surfer guy with long hair and trunks... you can feel a little bit about who they are. It's very nice. It also makes Golden man's concern for them stick with the reader, too, and their inclusion on the page makes you think about them. When he got tele-punched into the wall, they made sure to show that there was a GUY there, too. A beardy guy in a sweatshirt. So when the train gets lifted up, you're remembering that there's other people around this beach, and you go "oh shit they're gonna die" and thus when Golden man has the same concern...
See how it works? It draws you in by making you remember things, forcing you to ask questions, and then answering those questions. That's how you raise stakes and keep the audience involved, by urging their involvement and then answering it.

I think it's more of a "TV persona" thing.

Or if he actually hates golden man, it's a "I hate you, but you're right, so I'll follow your lead".

The reporter could also be fan but criticizes so that Golden Man don't get complacent, or get too much of an ego. Sometimes you need a ball buster.

In that case I hope it's his TV persona, 'cause it would be hella funny if he was actually a fan and just can't say it out loud and keep playing his role

Thanks for another great chapter!
I wonder if Moroboshi-kun will get a new power in this fight?

 

[Zohaib_OPM]

Random thought but would TMNT count as a sort of Sentai?

The bonds

HE SAID THE SENTAI THING

Random thought but would TMNT count as a sort of Sentai?

If they don't transform they don't count. So Power Rangers vs TMNT? Yup.
