Usuzumi no Hate - Ch. 38 - On The Same Path

[LLLFunkyLight]

Isn't this a plot hole?
Saya is surprised that transferring a consciousness into a robotic body is possible, when she met that movie freak in chapter 3, who had done exactly that.

That was different. The robotic body was explicitly a copy, the original person died. This version is apparently a legitimate passing of consciousness from one place to another.

Every time a manga brings aliens as the reason for every bad thing, it weakens the story... I hope those crystals ARE manmade, that the marebito is just some sort of high-dimensional construct that went rogue, but that everything is just technology working on principles humanity hasn't fully understood, and that is why things went out of control.

Remember how there's a talk about possible advanced human civilization before the end of the last ice age? It could be very well left over of an old advanced civilization.

Seems weird for sure. Could be a mistranslation or maybe the implication is that the Cinema dude was just a copy and Sabinuma actually transfered himself to the new body?

Some crazy ship of theseus stuff if that is the case

It kind of reminds of that trope where the mc only has the power they have because of their parents, it isn't anything innate or learned. It, again, weakens the story.

Tsutomu Nihei's new manga Tower Dungeon id the same thing. The mc is crazy strong and seemingly invincible, but turns out he's only strong because he's the kInGs SeCrET sOn. Dropped it right there, which sucks because it was pretty good despite that...

Yeah, I dislike that troupe too.

I read Tower Dungeon too, and... yeah, I agree, that reveal detracts from the MC a little, but personlly, I still read it because there are so many fun character, including Yuba still.

I would recommend you still give it a chance, don't know how many chapters have passed since you read it, but the story still has plenty to give.

That would be good... still cliche, but has a better track than aliens in manga.

I disagree that it's much of a problem, especially if, like in Tower Dungeon, that power is not the main plot, just part of the characterization.

Aragorn (I know, not the MC) had powers that he inherited by being descendant of kings of Numenor, didn't make him any less awesome. And innate powers aren't really different than inherited ones, in both cases they're just something MC is born with.

Dropping a story just because it has elements you dislike means you're gonna miss out on bunch of good reads - like Tower Dungeon.

So....Scientology gone mad.... Or rather...even more mad than it already is...

Thanks for the chapter

 

[rakka90]

Appreciate the extra TL detail on Marebito, good job.

Well, the executioners being man-made has drastically reduced the scale but elevated the danger. But if Marebito is this technologically advanced, then the alien theory might still stand.

I think she means a real one. That guy couldn't even move and was connected to a bunch of wires. I think she means a more advanced android like the one depicted. That guy was nothing more then a movie projector projecting a human mind.

I dont agree with this take on it. The guy watching movies was a person transplanted into a robot, the robot just wasnt finished in time.

Its not a stretch to say the only difference between him and this other guy is limbs.

Plus we now know that Daigiren was capable of transplanted their entire mind onto their child, so putting it in a robot is basically literally child's play at this point.

Gotta agree here. Tower Dungeon is not ruined by its protagonist being strong, the story has been good and artistically well done.

Does anyone else ship Reka and Saya now?

No😭
Ik its a ship but looking at the sotry I highly doubt there id gonna be romance at all and I think for this manga its better without romance

 

[LAZ_star]

i have a SPECIAL feeling. she gonna fuse with that god and become a god, bringing back humanity life
like phos from Land of the lustrous

 

[Trevoga]

The fist bump is an amazing moment.
Otherwise, this really does feel like when Frieren went from its unique somberness to genre tropes. I guess Girls' Last Tour still remains undefeated.
