Just look at my poor boy Kunigami

He needs 8 hours of sleep and some eye patches.

Therapy would be fine too, I guess.

Ness-

Just looking at him makes me feel sick. Kaiser is really the centre of his universe, huh. Ness doesn't care about Isagi, doesn't care about Noa, doesn't care about his stake - all he wants is for Kaiser to be happy.

His happiness is in Kaiser's happiness.

I was afraid that eventually in the manga their relationship would come down to Kaiser going too far/losing completely ugly at some point (which would play well with the whole 'naked king' theme) and Ness becoming disillusioned with him, but apparently I was wrong. But that's even worse, isn't it? Ness doesn't believe he can be loved just because he's like this - a funny guy who looks like a puppy and gets happy and angry too easily. He thinks love has to be earned, and he tries and tries and tries, every day doing everything he can to keep Kaiser looking at him. I tried to convey that thought in float, and it's- It's just awful, isn't it? All of Ness's feelings are centred on Kaiser, his every achievement is for Kaiser, his every action, thought, character, deed is for Kaiser. He centred all of himself on him, completely subordinated himself to his desires and dissolved in him without a trace.

Now imagine that because of losing to Isagi, Kaiser leaves him behind, blaming him for it? Who will Ness be without Kaiser? Would he be Ness we know? Would he even exist without him? I'm sure Ness himself thinks the answer is no.

Without Kaiser, Ness would just wither away.

Also very interesting is that Ness looks happy talking about Kaiser moving to Real - he agrees with it. This is something I've been curious about for a long time (ever since Kaiser's motivation for Blue Lock was revealed), as I was surprised that Ness was so calm about the fact that the main person in his life was going to leave him indefinitely, leaving him alone. I mean, he's actually reasonable in that respect. He not only understands that this is how sports work, but he also accepts those rules. For what? For Kaiser's happiness, of course. But honestly, that just makes me feel worse.

It means that for Kaiser's happiness, Ness is willing to suffer endlessly in loneliness while he plays at another club.

Only to see at least the ghost of a smile, only to hear a shadow of praise, only to catch a fleeting glance.

YESSS KURONA MY BOYYYY

[honorarycassowary]

arrested for mangaposting

friends, mutuals, countrymen, I bring you fresh drama!

so manga Twitter has blown up today over the news that Japanese authorities arrested at least 2 foreigners (some sources say 2, some say 3) for violating copyright law - that is, leaking issues of Shonen Jump online before their official publication date. (source in Japanese, source in English)

Part of the news story was a giant display that shows multiple prominent Twitter leakers, Pepe Silvia-style. (source)

@Scanpiea and @OPSCANS both deleted, along with their websites and Discord servers. (source 1, source 2, source 3). @JJK_Mya rebranded to @Go_Jover with this tweet. Rayuga, also on the board, has yet to say or do anything.

Leakers not named on the board also reacted: po2scans/APairof2 deleted their website (source). Pew, another leaker, said that leaks would continue on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays (source).

(for bonus fun, both the Scanpeia and APairof2 deletions came just two weeks after they publicly beefed over who was the first to post leaks)

And, of course, memes rolled in.

TCB Scans tried to follow in Saul Goodman's footsteps:

Pew began posting from Impel Down:

and Mya got sealed in the Prison Realm:

in addition to the memes, there's also a resurgences of discourse about leaks and "leak culture". Is there a difference between unoffical translations for published works vs. leaks? Is all piracy unethical? Are leaks annoying? Do leaks haters doth complain too much?

Ultimately, though, it seems unlikely that leaks will stop in any meaningful way. As outlined here, there's a real financial incentive to post the first leaks and get that sweet sweet ad revenue from eager fans. In the meantime, I'm just having a good time watching everyone react.

how tall is kaiser? 👀😳😳

we know isagi is 175cm (around 5’8/5’9) and kaiser looks like half a head taller here?? so does this make him around 185-190cm???? (6’0-6’2)

or maybe it’s just perspective 🥲
