Seinen Billy Bat by Urasawa Naoki

Spoiler

Wow, I actually thought that we were going to see all of those characters fall from somewhere? I could not find raws for the previous two chapters though? So the story does not fully add up form the translations? We are back to Kevin and the crazy guy?

So 87 is scanned, I really loved this chapter, it really is a good tie in with the story, the master drawing his own death and Gary and him dying at the same time, really well done. But I do not like how corrupt the police was.

88 is out, it was nice of Chuck to tell us some of his marketing techniques, keep the children glued to the TV screen eh? Truly he is a pioneer of TV and animation. Also Einstein should be dead, this is like 1964 that things are happening, unless Urasawa is giving him supernatural powers or something?

 

[kewl0210]

Of course Einstein has supernatural powers.

Current chapters make it seem like we could be coming close to the climax of the series soon. Though there are a handful of mysteries still left. So I'm not sure if it's gonna be really soon, or we've got a bunch left and he's just making it LOOK like we're almost done. It certainly does look like we're near a big turning point now, though.

Well, Devive does not seem to like one of the final villain tbh, though of course the bat is a candidate there, this is just an arc as far as I think. Since it was like an arc within and arc with the Gary and Cissy storyline put into it. Einstein is in some sort of cahoots with the bat, I would LOVE if Urasawa makes the artists looks like heroes though. Free spirit wins against evil! I like to see the older drawer of the bat, I wonder how far they go?

The new chapter is out, I feel we are moving kind of slow with so many stories that we are following, that the original one in 1964 seems like uninteresting. After we found out about Gary and Cissy it seems we are heading into a totally new direction, though kind of slow and confusing, dunno, still interesting though, but I am sued to things developing quick in this series.

BILLY BAT 93 RAW

[Josef]

Well cool thing to comment on both in the new 90th chapter and on the raw for 93. It seems that with 93 we conclude the arc?

Well it looks like an interesting end, it kind of feels like a redemption of some sorts? And we have brand new characters.

Spoiler: 93

WHAT AN AWESOME CHAPTER THAT WILL BE! Caveman painting Billy Bat? Epic, epic, epic! And who is that at the end? Lol, kind of looks like Michael Jackson and a black Kevin, I am confused, Urasawa is epic.

WHY ARE MY POSTS BEING DELETED?
1. Is Urasawa dead? Red Hawk scanned this - http://www.mangahere.com/manga/billy_bat/c086/ and it says that he is dead.
Every single scan I find for chapter 86 says that Urasawa died and that serialization of Billy Bat will end.
http://www.mangareader.net/billy-bat/86/3
http://manga.animea.net/billy-bat-chapter-86-page-4.html

Is this true or just a joke that Urasawa played on us? This is the fourth time I'm posing this question, and the mods have deleted it every time for apparently no reason.

 

[kohaku]

This is a manga in the manga, it s not talking about Urasawa....
Today in Morning, there is a new chapter of Billy Bat, so he didn t die. Hope you re reassured now

 

[Josef]

So wait, the series restarts march? D:

 

[Ganner_Rhysode]

What? Why? How? ...Source? I don't get it, explain! EXPLAIN!!! (I'm at least chapter-wise on the current Japanese level, though I have only skimmed through the unscanlated raws, so you won't spoil me there.)

91 and 92 are out. Well it seems a nice wrap up is coming, the crazy raw chapter might make sense after this. We are stuck with the same questions again though, it seems all these stories are nothing and reveal little of the true NATURE of the bat. The scroll was another mystery but it seems it's a thing that connects all of the stories we have been following so far.

 

[devilitachi]

Did kevin just die :|

 

[Josef]

Well, not sure, though a hit in the head truly is as deadly as you can go, of course if Urasawa is planning on making the new protagonist this new Kevin, which was the little kid from that couple before this arc right? Also, I really wanted to see the Spanish story, Franco and the rest of it, too bad Urasawa did a plot twist. :/

 

[TearsOfScarlet]

This just blew my mind O.O. which is why I LOVEEE Urasawa's work! When the guy said start over, I was thinking, what the hell. Then boom, right when kevin is back with the bat and knows where he has to go... Jesus Christ. lol.

all I could say was Whoa. Good thing I didnt read this thread before that time haha.

 

[Oberon]

Billy Bat will resume in the next issue (#16) of Morning...

So we are in the 1980's in the USA? Princeton university shirt? That was epic. Well it seems we will be following the new Kevin around, hope to see this be as interesting as the story so far. That lady smells like trouble.
