I don't care about the chapter, 2nd page stole the lights.
Stole the lights? I'm not sure what you mean.
This chapter was just kinda "meh," in my opinion. Just another reiteration that Kenichi was going to save Miu and that Miu is still being feral. Maybe it wouldn't feel so blah if reading this arc in a big chunk.
-
LOL @ Niijima.
"I WIN WITH PAPER!"
-
what is this Bulu they keep calling miu. its all ways nice to see the shinpaku alliance. nijjima just messed up a warm moment with janken XD.

@RPG:

I think it's the name they decided to give her since she couldn't understand them enough or wasn't coherent enough to tell them her name. The whole amnesia thing too.
-
chapter out sakaki steals the show again :D
! I'm pretty sure that the girl at the end is one of the servants of radin tidat, which again leads to the surprise that he's indeed alive, maybe kenichi has to help him gain his throne back for the information where miu is or something like that
-
that was fucking fantastic
that was just like watching a client eastwood movie except a lot faster lol

Ah, Japan.
Yet again racist American charicatures rear their ugly heads.
I wish SOMEONE would tell them that most Americans consider the word "Jap" to be a slur they wouldn't dare use. -

Japan still has some odd hang ups it seems lol. So hard to find normal "black" people in a manga too. So many assumptions all around.
This chapter was alright. Is that the little girl who plays the role of little sister to Jazead? Or is she the one who had to go figure out what moe was lol?

To be fair, black people in manga are kind of a rarity in itself and I guess why would I want to introduce a "normal"(as in it wouldn't make a difference if they were white) black person into the manga?
I mean i wouldn't want to bother to apply the screentone.I think that's somewhat a big part of the reason why they're gonna be stuck with these stereotypical personalities.(well this may or may not change soon when it becomes more common for mangaka to draw with tablets or something similar)

Yeah I know they are rare. But I mean normal in appearance as in not offensive lol. No giant over done lips, no crazy afro, completely over the top nose. I can only think of maybe 4 characters, that didn't make me sigh in defeat.
…A little bit of screening shouldn't be the deciding factor on character designs.

Well it adds up a lot depending if said character is a major one or not. Also just judging off a template shedule of a mangaka I wouldn't be surprised that it would be a factor. These guys have a shitload of stuff to do within a week. So guess for them it's kind of a value thing, would a black character add more value to the story? Just an example in Eyeshield21 was one to demonstrate the difference of physical bodytypes between races.
As for having these exaggerated features(purely the artistic ones). Mmmh dunno. I personally don't think it's that bad. When you draw stylistic stuff you tend to exaggerate the obvious features, like if I would to draw an asian person(being one myself) I would draw very narrow eyes even though there is quite a variety in eyeforms between asian folks.
But I can kinda understand what you mean, because in manga they tend to do big lips, big nose, afro and stuff together on the same character, add to that a super stereotypical personality and it gives a very superficial feeling.
-
Ah, Japan.
Yet again racist American charicatures rear their ugly heads.
I wish SOMEONE would tell them that most Americans consider the word "Jap" to be a slur they wouldn't dare use.In context, it's acceptable, since the guy is a mercenary, rather than a soldier. It builds onto the template of a selfish, greedy mercenary.
And as for black people in manga, I think Panther from Eyeshield 21 is the best portrayal of a black guy Japan can offer so far. I'm talking about his attitude and personality of course.
-
Panter (lol) from Eyeshield wasn't bad visually (I'm not a fan of cornrows). On the flip side them saying nobody could keep up with him because he's black, end of story. I died laughing. I'm never sure what to really thing about positive stereotypes.
There's also a guy in Hunter x Hunter that I find to be A OK. There was a dective in Red Garden that was good too.
Anyone seen Tenjo Tenge? There's a black guy in that but he doesn't get his own solo that tells his name in the opening like the other characters despite basically being a main character as far as I could tell.
Anywho. I'm getting side tracked. Which thread is this? Oh yes…
I wonder how quickly this arc will go. For some reason I feel it's dragging. Or maybe it's just that I'm having a hard time caring about the current situation. And I'm not really sure why.

Panther wasn't Black he was African.:ninja:
I know, I know he was from New York.
But….
Just look at the all the rap videos and songs... that's the image most foreigners see Black Americans as."African's are Different":ninja:

You're kidding right?
Panther from "You just can't beat blacks! The natural advantages of blacks! Black musculature! Insurmountable blackie American body, jumping from rooftop to rooftop in Harlem" Eyeshield 21? That Eyeshield 21? Son… If we're talking about respectable, non-racist portrayals of a black character, surely Dutch from Black Lagoon nails it best?
Black Lagoon is actually pretty good about not stereotyping different races in general, because race is really a non-factor in the character's identity. i.e. Dutch could be any race, Balalaika could be any race, Chang could be any race, Rock could be any race, it's their characters that are important rather than their racial backgrounds, or genders. Badasses are badasses, wimps are wimps, bullies are bullies and race doesn't enter into the equation one bit. When race isn't a consideration, imo - that's when it's not racist. That's when it's acceptable.But no, this instance is not "in context" acceptable (not a rubric I would judge this by, but I'll bite).
"I fucking hate Japs" has nothing to do with the "selfish, greedy mercenary" archetype and everything to do with the very, very commonly used "Americans are big burly bullies who wear American flags and throw their weight around at other races" archetype. Which appears all over manga, whether it be Eyeshield 21 (the American team's coach), Hajime no Ippo, Kenichi, Yugi-Oh or tons of other manga that I could name. In fact, American characters are more likely to be used as these "fuckin' jap" stereotypes than not, no matter which manga. In fact, if it's a sports manga, or any manga that deals with national pride on any level at all it's a guarantee. Oftentimes these characters are American for the sake of playing into common stereotypes to make them easily and immediately unlikable. It's a commonly used storytelling tool - it just isn't a politically correct one.
It's practically a fact that Japan has issues with racial sensitivity. Let alone sex and gender sensitivity.
But race isn't really the cultural issue in Japan that it is in America, so stuff that makes us cringe probably wouldn't evoke the same response across the pond. I get that.
Also, most folks in Japan will never see a black person in their life, so what they understand about us they glean from movies, and media, and pop culture. I understand that.I'm just grousing a bit, because it's not really fun being on the receiving end of the American stereotype.
-
but nowhere in the chapter that stated those mercenaries are american, right?
-
Ok I may be missing something here but these two things arent mutually exclusive?
If you live in America than you should know that Black Americans who claim to be gangsters,thugs,rappers,ghetto usually try to differentiate themselves from African Blacks who are from Ghana, Uganda, or Somalia etc.
Though that's Racism in itself.
Sadly that's how it.Back on Topic What are your Views on Naruto and how it portrays black people? Bee:ninja:
Besides Bee i think raikage and his village are well portrayed.

well i never talked about black americans or anything like that, can't speak for what the others were referring to but when I say Blacks I exclusivly refer to the skin colour which by all means should include everyone of them. And when someone says black guy I pretty much believe that's what they meant or they should have worded it differently.

I wish I could find the posts I made about this in the older Naruto threads: they're pretty good! But, to make a long story short:
A black character who raps isn't inherently racist.
Bee's the only person in his village who raps, and he has an established reason for doing so - he sings poetry as a means of expression, because he was lonely. So there's an in-character purpose to it. Besides that, he's shown himself to be an understanding, likable, respected, and extremely competent shinobi with depth, and is one of the few characters in the manga to have seriously f*cked Sasuke up. I had my initial misgivings but I think he's pretty cool. Actually, pretty much everybody from Kumogakure is just freaking awesome.The fact that they're black is never paid any attention to, so as far as I'm concerned it's a non-issue.
-
Your points are quite valid but it's not like these guys are significant characters or anything. They were simply fodder to see Sakaki slap around and who we're never gonna see again. Also you DO get racist American hard-core thugs like that especially soldier-types in the media and even in real life. If EVERY American in the series were like that (which they aren't as Rachael proves where the only stereotypical thing about her is her blonde her and yet her character of being an attention seeker doesn't factor at all with her race but with her upbringing by her master ) but I think it's okay for the author to play that card just this once albeit how rampant and cliche it is already.
Anyway chapter was pretty great. It's these chapters where the masters show why they're the masters that are the best.

The existence of the stereotype doesn't excuse the frequency of the stereotype.
Much of what I said about Black Lagoon applies to Kenichi. Nationality isn't really a factor in a character's portrayal. Kenichi normally doesn't do this racial typing, but manga does. I'm making a larger criticism of the archetype in manga as a whole. It's not a Kenichi thing, it's a manga thing. I thought my post made that pretty clear, but I hope this will clear up any confusion.
It's a common practice in manga to make a character as deplorable as possible by making him racist too.
This only happens to Americans though, even in manga that have large, multi-national casts (Eyeshield 21, Change 123, Ippo, Monster). Sure there are characters who break the mold, but Chinese characters or Korean characters or Europeans don't have to worry about having the "racist" tag applied to them in order to make them more detestable characters. It's almost always the Americans, or white anglo-saxons. THAT I take issue with, and it's really the center of my argument. Besides it being hypocritical in the extreme - coming from Japan - it's misleading and pervasive. Big, racist, greedy Americans, all over manga.
Obviously there are American characters in this manga who don't behave like racist bigots - I'm not really talking about them. Actually, normally Kenichi avoids making a character's nationality a point upon which their character pivots.
So, then, we shouldn't say something when it happens? I disagree. Because I don't feel that mangaka are aware of how rampant of a cliche it is, and awareness changes everything.Anyway, it started as a minor comment leveraged at a minor part of this chapter before it ballooned into a discussion topic. I liked the chapter. These bit players don't matter. But it's still annoying as hell to see 'em.
-
Oh no, I'm just saying the author can be excused once or twice for falling into a pitfall of writing not that you shouldn't be complaining about it. But yeah, Kenichi is very good at handling the whole multi-national thing with tons of foreigners be they from Indonesia, India, Thailand etc. acting like normal people instead of stereotypical dumb bush people or something.
Regards the whole American stereotyping at large, I can empathize with how annoying it can be to an American. The whole mentality probably stemmed from WWII (which Japan started, you filthy hypocrite Japan you). With that said, I think sometimes the best thing to do about it is laugh. Because the absurdity of the stereotyping can be hilarious at times. When it's SOOO over the top with the blonde hair (bald head when the American is black) and raging muscles and the ridiculous cliche dialogue about orange marmalade or Japanese rice like in Sket Dance or Neuro, you just can't help but laugh.
My point is it sucks most of the time but the stereotype ain't going away unfair as it may be. Complain the hell about it sure but sometimes you should laugh about it when you can because it can be delivered in hilarious packages sometimes and most of those times, it's intentional.
-
The chapter was alright for me. I enjoyed Sasaki messing up the bar but besides that nothing much really happened. At least they're closer to reaching Miu though, distance wise, and that little girl sure could help.

Sometimes it's hard to laugh. Ever read Shaman King? I hated Choco Love so much. Probably one of most offensive characters I've seen in a fairly modern manga.
Kenichi doesn't really have any black characters other than one of the girls that follows Freya. I was sorta hoping Freya was, but I'm guessing she's just tanned. All I ask for is a non lame character to cosplay as lol. I want options!
I guess they'll try everything they can to make sure Miu never sees Kenichi since it may break her crazy streak. Or maybe she'll think she's being haunted? There's a few directions I guess this could go. I kinda just want it resolved once they meet up.

killer b foo'

from what i remember, chocolove was a fun character.
he was interesting too. he wanted to be a comedian and help the world through laughter, and he also went blind in a very nice twist.
i never noticed anything about him that could be considered offensive though, so to me he was just a regular guy.
or maybe it's been too long since i read shaman king.
i also remember loving that his spirit friend was a Jaguar. -

! And everyone kinda gets what they want in the end, he became an ex con wtf? Surprise surprise the black person is blind… sigh But whatever. He had too many aspects for me to think he was even a good character and less of a joke. I'm all offended out now lol. I'll stop bringing it up.
-
Personally, I think the writer is just being a bit lazy in writing for the evil mercenary. I mean, the fictional country of Tidat is said to be a neighbor of Indonesia and in World War II, Japan invaded Indonesia and treated them like slaves for 3.5 years, so they can easily make him traumatic of what happened to his grandparents or something and gives him irrational hatred for any Japanese. He'll still be overreacting but a bit more humane…well, I guess one-shot fodder doesn't need that much of a backstory? Being racist just because just feel a bit lazy.
-
You're kidding right?
Panther from "You just can't beat blacks! The natural advantages of blacks! Black musculature! Insurmountable blackie American body, jumping from rooftop to rooftop in Harlem" Eyeshield 21? That Eyeshield 21? Son…
I'm not kidding. Although yelling at me won't teach me a damn thing because I'm a fucking idiot.
In a completely serious sense, as I've stated in my post, it's not that African Americans are somehow superior in musculature than Asians, it's Panther's personality… Although I'm pretty sure personality that's not the problem.
If we're talking about respectable, non-racist portrayals of a black character, surely Dutch from Black Lagoon nails it best?
Black Lagoon is actually pretty good about not stereotyping different races in general, because race is really a non-factor in the character's identity. i.e. Dutch could be any race, Balalaika could be any race, Chang could be any race, Rock could be any race, it's their characters that are important rather than their racial backgrounds, or genders. Badasses are badasses, wimps are wimps, bullies are bullies and race doesn't enter into the equation one bit. When race isn't a consideration, imo - that's when it's not racist. That's when it's acceptable.Didn't care much for Black Lagoon after watching the first episode, although I may watch it some time later, when I'm more emotionally mature (somehow I've reached my mid 20's and I can't be "mature")
But no, this instance is not "in context" acceptable (not a rubric I would judge this by, but I'll bite).
"I fucking hate Japs" has nothing to do with the "selfish, greedy mercenary" archetype and everything to do with the very, very commonly used "Americans are big burly bullies who wear American flags and throw their weight around at other races" archetype.

I think I understand, especially when Americans stereotype the Chinese as backwards thinking cuckoos. But somehow being on the receiving end of stereotypes leads me to feel pity and sorrow, rather than agitation as you've expressed.
Anyway, from a business perspective, as long as it makes money, the manga and anime industries are fine with it. Thus, they'll keep doing it without realizing harm.
-
Mmm, somehow I think you're misunderstanding.
I don't think anything I said was antagonistic or… anything. I'm not yelling at you or patronizing you so please don't take my post that way.Eyeshield 21 spent an extraordinary amount of time making comments about racial superiority and inferiority based on physiology. Apollo, the coach of the NASA Aliens spent an enormous amount of screentime hating players based on hating their "innate talent" which was often connected to racial traits. And during the entire ALL-STAR game much was made of "we can't bridge the gap between hard-work and their muscles and American gifts." The entire reason Apollo would never put Panther in was because he was black and Apollo felt inferior... In fact in the ALL-STAR game there was the player Donald Oberman who was the presidents son and a big hulking racist bigot.
I'm not talking about Panther's personality or his portrayal - don't really have a problem with him.
What I'm saying, and I don't think you're understanding, is that a pretty huge deal was made about how innate racial traits were this insurmountable wall for the Japanese to beat and it showed that Eyeshield 21 didn't really escape from the issue of American stereotyping, especially when it came to defining characters by them. -
I believe I should apologize because I decided to post passive-aggressively rather than truly consider the intention behind your post.
However, I do agree with you that most of the Japanese have never ventured outside their own cultural mindsets and prejudices. (Neither have most Americans for that matter.) Thus, many Japanese have the preconceived notion that Africans and Caucasions have superior genes in physique, due to their own apparent lack of achievement at global athletic competitions.
That was the case anyway before the 2008 Olympics, thanks to China (with a few exceptions like basketball).
Anyway, back to Mr. Jerkass Mercenary: I don't think he would have been kind if it was a white kid instead of Kenichi who talked to him. And I don't think his character would have changed if he was Indonesian. It doesn't matter. It's a naive, timid, dorky kid trying to ask questions to a bully.

I read that as "she was out searching for Moe" haha. All she has to do is look in the mirror.

I wonder if she ever found out what moe is lol
Great find btw Renegade.

Thanks. To address that moe search question.
Yes, she did find out what "MOE" is…King wasn't pleased...she received a punishment. XD

the chapter . they were talking to the american soldiers in english and kenichi was reading from that paper. i'm saying it reminded me of the time takada tried to talk to that big guy in the D of D tournament
-
Way to prove me wrong hsdk. I really though Jihan was alive, nice little twist but I guessed the rest at least right.
-
so the anime OVA will continue from the Ragnarok arc? I like the sound of that
-
So, does throwing not count as hitting a girl? Because Kenichi totally just threw that girl, I saw it.
-
I like the direction the story is taking. I always found that one of the Yomi being taken out so quickly and early on to be a bit of a let-down (even if it was an intense fight with plenty of character development, imagine if Shickibukai were taken out so crassly) but here we are over 250 chapters later and Jihad's presence as a character is still felt. Cool.
@Big_Bad_Lith:So, does throwing not count as hitting a girl? Because Kenichi totally just threw that girl, I saw it.
He's thrown girls before. Remember Riraichi?
http://i3.mangareader.net/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/164/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi-554873.jpg -
ah, that's true. I was just surprised that he fought her and didn't even comment on her gender.
because he shouldn't make any sort of deal out of it, but he tends to do that sort of thing. "It's a girl! Well, if I just throw her that should be alright…!!" etc
-
Besides the frequent panty shots of the little girl I thought it was a nice chapter. I wonder if Keneichi will ever not have to use those arm guards to combat weapons like guns and swords.
