Alright, show of hands if anyone felt unsatisfied by the conclusion.

 

[ninjaaqua]

At least it's over.

 

[velatic]

we can finally moves on

 

[Blood_Bones]

I mean, did you really expect anything else?

 

[Tyreekus]

We all knew humans had to win this round but tbh this fight to me was the least interesting. Idk how it was but it truly felt like not there for me which sucks.

And so, the greatest schizo match has came to an end, Susanoo couldn't out schizo Okita it would seems, even after pulling out schizo sword

 

[Werebearguy]

Everyone saying how they are glad this is over, yet here I am happy. That was a good ending. The move Souji drew up in his final moments was the move he used in his final attack. Susano'o died happy and fulfilled as well, and he was a good god. It started slow, sure, but this was a good sendoff. Turning to dust was a bit silly, but the last attack was excellent.

This series is 90% asspull, so it's up to the reader to enjoy the cracks in the ass that are pulled from.

 

[EarlofMillenium]

Damn, can't believe how biased this author is for/against the Japanese.

 

[vangstampede]

Thank fucking fuck this shitass fight has finally ended, it's so fucking boring I swear to God.

 

[Mattoskre]

Dejavu I have read this strip before

 

[Derksy]

I honestly thought it would be a double K.O.

 

[Zen44]

I called it as soon as this fight began

 

[Oculunus]

Too bad for Susanoo, he seemed to be one of the better gods

The worst part about this arc wasn't just that it was asspull move after asspull move, it was that it took so many chapters of asspulling to reach the conclusion we all knew was coming. Souji has been around since the beginning of the series, so he wasn't just going to lose to some walk-on character like Susano'o, and that makes this arc's length even more annoying. They didn't have any major arcs or character developments, nor were there any crazy backstories, just two guys who swung their swords their whole lives coming in to once again swing their swords, boosted with a healthy dose of bullshittery. Every fight before this was more concise and felt more fulfilling, but this was just "I swing sword good," "but I swing sword gooder" "but I swing sword gooderer" over and over until they were both near death and then they did it all over again.

Soji tapped into alternate timelines and jinchuriki powers, Susano'o created vacuum fields of death and swung a sword without holding a sword, and yet this was still one of the most underwhelming fights ever, and this came after the unfortunately short Leonidas vs Apollo, and that's saying something. I know the author wrote a Shinsengumi story so they're going to be biased towards these characters and feel the need to make them seem extra cool or whatever, but it just feels so lame to keep artificially raising the stakes over and over again for a swordsmanship dick measuring contest. Each character so far has had their own level of ridiculous techniques or power ups, but this entire fight has just been power up after secret technique after power up, and it managed to make what used to be one of my favorite series feel like such a slog to read.

 

[Drunkendeathknight]

The fight itself wasnt even bad, the issue is we knew 100% humanity would win this round because of the tournament style

 

[Scrabbleman]

Worst fight ever. Let's never talk about this again.

 

[tester1174]

reach invisible sword after eons of swinging sword
realm of supreme gods
human reached it in their lifetime

yeah of course you lost

 

[K_Takuya]

yeah sure man, whatever. ooooh aaaah shinsengumi banzay or whatever.
Like, my brain already tuned out since the start being a nippon vs nippon but a supposed sword god pulling out an imaginary sword out of his ass takes the cake.

 

[Kanami-chan]

asspull.
susano shoul;dve won
