Not really? This is all approximations, after all.
He's not going to commit suicide over this. That's a ridiculous straw man argument.
Your comment is flawed in every sentence. There are people who are probably still living today who would've experienced the atrociousness first hand or heard from their parents or grand parents about this.
I don't think the relations are so tense that some manga character is gonna cause a diplomatic crisis.
Before taking that my comment is flaw,make sure you dont talk with person those ancestors suffer in war. You suggest that maybe i didnt heard from my granny hiw they survive during war! Very good man. Now can you contact with russian fandom and say that we are flaws,because we are not support attack on Horikoshi..
There was a controversy from a member of BTS who wore a tshirt which angered Japanese people because they believe it has anti-Japanese sentiments. They cancelled all appearances from Kpop groups and people from Japan demanded apology from the band. All because of a tshirt which the member claims did not know has that meaning... So yeah, it is tense, even something as small as this can trigger stuff...
Not sure if this was a scripted apology from Jump or Horikoshi really meant to name him in the literal sense, (Maruta also meaning round & fat)..... But then there's the Kanji, so.... (I'm still leaning on it being intentional, people just ended up misunderstanding it)
I love Mashle the most, but that's me and my tendency to like dumb and dense MCs. Mitama is funny though right now I like Rena more lol. Taiyou and Kaname are good boys. No formed opinion about Chris nor Fafner. Don't like Andy.
I wonder when we will have more than a single manga sticking around from a serialization round. This has gone for over a year.
Zipman can be summed in lack of development and too fast story.
I'm glad they made the right decision.
How many times have we even had more than one series from the same batch stick around? I think it only happened twice in the past decade (Yuuna and Kimetsu, then Dr Stone and WNL, though as a batch of 6 that's a special case).
Yeah, it's a rare thing but some of the established series near the end of their serialization which will leave even more open spots. With 7 series not being established, it creates a certain imbalance in the magazine so more series need to stick around.
Probably next batch so they can have some chapters on their back for when those series actually do end.
What do you mean unintentionally? That he didnt know background of the name? Counting who is character is it is impossible that this is coincidence. Most likely Kohei hinted that villain is going to get taste of his own medicine in the future bit it would be better if he didnt. Than again some much more radical things exist in this field. Like some time ago there was scandal about ranobe about japanese soldier who called a hero just because he killed 100 men or something like this.
That he didn't intentionally mean to hurt anyone by the use of the name. That's what I meant.
That's just being racist. You get a say if you're educated in the subject, which he is not. That is the bottom line.
