[BalrogDeMorgoth]

So will we finally get a good match the last two were meh at best?

 

[Grye]

Japan fight let's go

 

[DPChaos]

Rest in peace, you guys.

Humanity is definitely winning this next one, there's no way.
I just hope Simo ain't the next one to bite the dust...

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

Asked this in the other version too.

They call Susanoo a god slayer. But are there many gods who got killed in Japanese myth?
It feels like they just do sumo and settle their differences without having to kill.

Only gods I can immediately remember to have confirmed died was Izanami, and that was from birthing Kagutsuchi the god of fire, so no killing involved and the following. Susanoo's most famous story has him kill Yamata-no-Orochi the eight headed serpent, which if you want to count as a god or not will define whether Susanoo counts as a god slayer. The other god that susanoo potentially killed (depending on your source) is a god of food who made food by sneezing it out and less cleanly methods and it disgusted Susanoo enough that he killed her. However that last story is also sometimes told as Tsukuyomi and Ukemochi instead of Susanoo and Ogetsuhime.

My assumption is that they're leaning on the Yamata-no-Orochi killing, but yeah honestly there isn't a ton of god on god murder going on in shinto pantheon even in the syncretic version that includes lot of esoteric buddhism as part of it. But honestly killing Yamata-no-Orochi is kind of like saying Thor is god killer for having killed Jormungandr. So expect some amount of embellishment from this particular arc.

Beyond that. I just hope they give Simo a proper showing and don't make him job vs someone just to get gods an easy win.

Most of my exposure to the Shinsengumi comes from Rurouni Kenshin. Still, this seems like a humanity win going into it, though I also could see putting humanity in a sudden death state for the rest of the matches.

Rasputin and Nostradamus I don't really want to fight. Maybe Odin will kick off his coup attempt before those fights.

Meanwhile, the story put Souji as manslayer for having killed many people with his own hands (to exclude the despots who kill millions of people with their army or indirectly through their decisions, from discussion).

Yeeah, meanwhile Simo Häyhä has 500+ confirmed kills during winter war which I'm pretty sure would put him over Souji as efficient manslayer but because he didn't do it with a katana I guess that doesn't count, or maybe because he did it during war or something like that.

I hate this version of Anubis
