Lmao what? Ahura Mazda lost just like that?
Idk what author was thinking.

This is what Muramasa looks like to me.
Skinny, mysterious boy, katana user, lone swordsman aesthetics, secretly OP, doesnt want to reveal his power.
Like Cid Kagenoh but not acting or satirical

Lets see how future chapters explain it... or maybe not since this is just side series

Wish it was a sideways reference to DEATH, but no Japanese person will ever be into Discworld methinks, too British.

Welp, I was waiting to see if they were gonna turn it into a tag team of the two halves of Ahura Mazda against Muramasa, but instead we had another culture be shafted for yet another Japanese sword guy. At least the main series is using a Japanese figure with an axe in its current round, but damn, that was just so rough.

Even Cu Chulainn, the underdog that we were introduced to at the start, a parallel to Muramasa in the sense that both are lower beings fighting against superior gods, had to struggle and fight against Ra, who was given a very favorable, very respectful showing in this series' standards, but we couldn't get even a second chapter for Ahura Mazda? One of the main figures of one of the oldest religions, one that many others were inspired by or based on, and he gets one-framed by a random guy because he had a katana. Zhuque and Indra, lesser known figures from extensive pantheons were given a fairly long fight, but one of the key components of Zoroastrianism got bits and pieces and then died instantly.

Obviously Muramasa's gonna have to struggle eventually if they want him to be even remotely likeable by the audience, so I can't see why they couldn't just let him fight now, show off in battle like everyone else, like Cu Chulainn who is probably gonna be his rival in the finals, and prove why he gets to stand there. Instead, he just looks like a generic OP self-insert katana guy, and makes the complaints people had with the main series and its blatant favoritism towards Japanese figures and gods much more agreeable.

Wait, what's the God of Death's name? Is he just called God of Death?


You must be reading with your eyes closed then because you didn't get a single trait right.
Are you talking about what I said or the image itself? Obviously the image is a joke but I didnt get his traits wrong:
"Skinny, mysterious boy, katana user, lone swordsman aesthetics, secretly OP, doesnt want to reveal his power."

This is the first time I've ever commented about this series and I've been following it for years. Muramasa is so cringe man cause I like to read a lot of isekai and manhwas and I assure you this guy belongs there.

He's just missing that short Japanese/Korean boy haircut. Or maybe he belongs in those cultivation manhuas

I didnt get his traits wrong:
No, you did. Literally every trait you named doesn't fit him.

He's buff, did you see his arms?

mysterious boy,
He's not mysterious at all, he's literal a cheerful sociable guy who has funny accidents happen to him.

katana user
He is the Katana, what he uses is his tsugumogami fake body.

lone swordsman aesthetics
Except he doesn't have those aesthetics at all, he's literally a smiling goofball.

secretly OP
He isn't secretly OP, everyone just saw he has an OP ability despite being generally weak, there's no secret there.

doesnt want to reveal his power."
Except he literally did reveal his power in front of everyone as his first move in his first fight, people just don't understand how it works.

I like to read a lot of isekai and manhwas
I do too and you clearly speedread them without paying attention.

I assure you
Which is worth nothing when you've gotten literally every single trait wrong.

that short Japanese/Korean boy haircut.
That haircut only exist in your head. Korean MC aesthetics and Japanese MC aesthetic are very different, especially hair wise.

Or maybe he belongs in those cultivation manhuas
Oh yeah, the light-haired overexpressive dude with shoulder length messy hair totally belong to the genre of straight black haired dudes who's facial expressions never change and who's spotless hair reach their damn knees, that make sense (no, it doesn't).
