Moto Tansakusha no Ojii-chan: Mago ni Segamarete Dungeon Haishin o Hajimeta njaga, Nazeka Bazuriotta wai - Vol. 1 Ch. 7

[TestAddress]

finally a great and wholesome manga to tell me that there's a lot to enjoy for when you're at old age <3 thanks for the translation!

The 41 year old uncle living In a solo leveling like world is also wholesome if you ignore the art.

Yayayayyy I’m so excited to see Grandma join the fray!!! I can only imagine how cool she was and will be 🥹

She probably using that Ginsuu™ kitchen set.

This is pretty good actually, it feels a lot fresher than other generic dungeon type mangas, mostly because of gramps.

Also, I feel like its pretty implied that the reason gramps' techniques and strategies were lost was because of the rise of skills, or at least that's how I see it.

It was also lost probably because of the bureaucracy of dungeon defense. When the government took over, like samurai they need to give in and live as citizens or become outlaws.

Gramps was given the misfortune of living through the dungeon break ( aka The 1930's Great Depression).

This old man's sick, I'm hooked.

Genji married Malenia....

A new challenger approaches: Benkei Grandma

Did all the old people decide to retire simultaneously and then the world forgot about them instantly or something? Did noone ever seek out these supposedly famous seekers after retirement to learn from them? What about the slightly younger seekers who would have been newbies when the old people were active, did they not learn a single thing from them?

It's like ALL the old seekers are 65-year olds, and when they all decided to retire at the same time, all the 45-year olds had to start fresh with no knowledge. And then this repeated until the current age, so we have a bunch of young people with no knowledge about how to defeat the monsters. And all of the older people turned a blind eye to it as it was happening, so now the young people are struggling and probably dying because no one bothered to teach them how to fight. It'd be one thing if they knew about the tactics, but can't put it into practice is too difficult or if the old tactics became obsolete because there are newer and better methods, but it's neither of those.

This setting is as ridiculous as telling someone that one of the most famous Street Fighter streamers today has no idea what a hadouken is, because everyone who played it in the arcades in the 90s decided to never tell anyone about it, or that a famous Mario 64 speedrunner doesn't know how to skip Latiku on the bridge.

And how did the father grow up to that age without finding out that his parents are supposedly famous and strong people? Or is he their son-in-law, while the mother is their child? If so, how did they end up getting married and having a child without her ever telling him this very noteworthy detail about her parents?

My bet is that the son of Genji is born after the war. Lived a normal school life.

thanks for the suggestion, will check that out

 

[AlvoradaGD]

honestly this manga has been more fun than I imagined it would.

 

[praisejesus]

I feel like we'll see a whole party of seniors before long. I don't think we've seen the last of grandpa's magic. I expect he'll use it later when someone else is in danger.

He's just using skills on his body enhancing styles. Magic can be enchantment too.

 

[JaxunHero]

THE FEMALE BENKEI!?

 

[Xelarion]

Thank you for the chapter
This series is too fucking cute, I am losing my mind

 

[kn1000a]

the translation changed from explorers to seekers now lol. Gramps need to watch out for random Noel Stollen ambushes.

 

[Meo]

I'm not surprised that Grandma is also an explorer/seeker (seeing how reassured she was of Grandpa's ability).

But her being such an excited and willing participant in the next stream is surprising. She's going to be more OP than Grandpa

 

[Kireato]

Neat!
I wonder if other older explorers will join in the fun.

 

[TestAddress]

Hell yeah, I'm unreasonably excited to have Grandma join the team.

Oh man, this is so peak in such a wholesome way. Little Mana-tee just kills me. Especially when she gets that nervous sweat when realizes her youthful exuberance just caused some trouble. Waking up her Grandpa at 3AM just because she couldn't wait? HAH!

Also, doting Gramps says some wild shit that's both adorable and hilarious. "Wha? An angel? So my time's finally come!?"

And it definitely feels like Grandma is far more powerful than Grandpa. They say to be wary of an old man in an occupation where many tend to die, but what that leaves out is that you should be even more wary of the old woman standing next to him.

Really looking forward to some "Obaa-sama no Girl Power".

Oofa... that's a lot of backpacks and discarded weapons. Let's hope at least some of them got away.

Pretty sure that they did the good old "drop the goods and run" gambit. It's already been implied that deaths inside the dungeon are rare now compared to Grandpa's time. And it wouldn't surprise me that people eventually figured out that most monsters will go after the bags you drop instead of you. After all, it's been shown already that the monsters like to eat the food inside those bags.

Is there a novel for this? I was unable to find any

Just checked. It doesn't have the "Adaptation" tag, and the mangaka and author are listed under the same name. You're not finding this one anywhere else in any other format - it's all original, baby!

Gramps retired 30 years ago. His son might not even have been born yet, and he didn't necessarily grow up within that culture. The Seekers back then were specialists, not streamers. The strongest among them might have been famous within the trade, but the general public wouldn't necessarily know about them.

Gramps' techniques are effective, but difficult to pull off and mostly tailored to his non-standard fighting style. So his old tactics did become obsolete for mainstream use, because people at large no longer need to be that skilled. As dungeon exploring shifted from a matter of survival to resource gathering and entertainment, the safety organization likely enforced stricter rules to minimize risk. That would naturally lead to more standardized, tried-and-true methods with lower risk and a lower skill ceiling, built around party formation.

Mind that it was never stated that Gramps' methods are completely unknown to everyone. The manga has only shown that they're unknown to the public "viewers" and streaming dungeon delvers. That still leaves room for serious circles, veterans, or closed guilds where such techniques might survive, but guarded out of caution, regulation, or even self-interest.

Basically, it's not really collective amnesia. It’s limited knowledge transmission caused by generational shift, professional specialization, institutional standardization, and cultural drift.

This manga is pretty good so far
