And it's done! Hope you all enjoyed the extradited uploads. It'll be a long while before I do this again. My buffer vault is so empty now.

My plan is to do the daily upload only if the story arc spans 5 or more chapters. That's about when I feel the wait between chapters gets too much.

Thank you for your hard work

Another L for yamaoka

Shout out to the judges.

Shout out to the judges.

Yeah, and even though Yamaoka only draws this time, it's always a pleasure to see Yuzan become completely gobsmacked when he realizes that he doesn't completely win the match.

 

[Mugiwara325]

Despite the judges' decision, I think Yamaoka lost this one. Yamaoka drawing against Kaibara because he 'looked at curry as an expression of freedom' feels like such a cop-out, especially when Yamaoka's 'freedom' basically meant 'going back to Japanese curry'. Even Yamaoka recognises it.

But of course, if the judges only judged on skill and fidelity every time, there's no way Yamaoka could beat Kaibara. Kariya has written Kaibara to be too formidable.

...That said, I would still demolish Yamaoka's crab curry. It sounds delicious.
