BTW, what was this scene supposed to mean? Was that floating zombie a specter? Or timetravel causing issues?
Dorohedoro

Most likely Ai's consciousness as stated above.

Do you hear the chapter sneaking upon us?
IKKI #8 Cover
! Dorohedoro Volume #19 Cover
!
-
The magazine cover sums it all up.
One of the coolest characters of the series is probably about to return.
-
I love how death is even less permanent in this series than freaking Dragon Ball. . .as long as a devil goat takes a liking to you.
Devil goat > Dragon.

Amis francophones qui aimaient Dorohedoro, la réédition des premiers tômes par Soleil est enfin disponibles depuis quelques jours donc si vous pouvez supportez ce titre qui en a besoin car au train où vont les choses il n'y en aura pas de 2ème. -

Finally, thanks a million! It took. . .forever!
. . .And yet it was too blasted short. I need more! More En goodness, this wasn't nearly enough to quench my thirst!
-
En breathing his smoke on Shin felt so goooood.
-
Yet I'm so sad for Shin. Always loved his mask. Since he was turned into mushrooms, and I didn't see his devil rolling around, does that mean he can't be resurected?
-
I'm not worried about Shin at all. I think En cured Shin, actually. He's free of the sludge now. Shin has been turned into mushrooms twice before (once fully, once partially) and Noi had no problems restoring him. Even if his devil tumor was turned into mushrooms, which I'm sure it was, it hasn't been injured or killed, so it could be restored too. Chota and Thirteen have had their heads turned into a mushroom before and they're fine now. Vaux was turned into a single tiny mushroom and is alive and well.
-
Oh, it's true. It's been so long since that happened that I forgot it.
-
Wait, have Fallen Syndicate given up scanlating Dorohedoro?
-
Dunno, but i waited far too long to not accept anything that comes first.
-
Of course, I'll too gladly take wathever I'm given. It just feels weird. It's cool though!
Also. . .man do these Dorohedoro chapter go by in a breeze. Goddamn. . .
-
Best Dorohedoro Release EVAH!
Enjoy it, muthafuckas! It's Dorohedoro time!
Chapter 129 V.2 (I get the impression it is longer that the one we already got last time, but I can't quite remember. . .)
-
Woohoo!
Off to read it. -
Holy shit, chapter 130 must be the boobiest chapter in the entire series. It's like 80% Nikaido boobage showing.

Aikawaiman vs Kai wat ?
I always thought Ai and Kai were the same but apparently each and everyone is different from the other.
Even Aikawa isn't Ai ? God i don't get it.

I've long since stopped trying to make sense out of what's going on and just accept it, eat it and enjoy the randomness and craziness.
I mean, in a single chapter we went from Kaiman vs. ¿Ai?, to ¿Ai's cadaver? possessing Kaiman, and that resulting in ¿Awakened Aikawa (according to the end of the chapter)? that proceeded to decapitate ¿Ai?. . .
. . .trying to make sense out of it will only hurt you, your brain and your everyday life.
ED: I guess the most sense one could get out of all this absurd mess is that, just like Kaiman's head had a consciousness of its own, there could be other ¿body parts? with their own consciousness. Maybe Ai's original (¿dead?) body is the purest form of it? So mixing with the more benign Aikawa-Kaiman creates what the very author (or editors) called "Awakened Aikawa", which I guess is Aikawa with no influence from the ¿Hole corrupted Ai?, which also seems to be a behind the scenes creation of Chidaruma. . .Nah. I don't really know.

Don't include different body parts, the heads are confusing enough :(
-
So Ai is the kid's original personality, he tinkered with his body died and reincarnated into Aikawa who sprouted several personalities (the one dominant being the power driven one who wanted to turn into a devil) Unwanted Aikawa personality traits got rejected into Kaiman who after his memory loss and other things ended fusing with Ai and recovered his Aikawa memories …
...and I think I need to lay down and rest my head a little

Inb4 false expectations; those are the Fallen Syndicate's version of the last three chapters that we got last year.

No. . .no no no nooooooooo.
I didn't even take a proper look, just saw 3 chapters after 3 months and thought, that's it!
Fuck, I'm sorry.

After 4 days of deliberation, your apology was accepted.
-

Yes. Thanks. What a relief.
I missed this manga so much.
BTW, I really think Nikaido should get some clothes by now. It's starting to feel a bit. . .awkward.
I guess I should get angry that Hayashida considers more important to have some gags with the severed heads and En's dismay at his mansion being upside down instead of progressing the (chaotic) plot. . .but it's just part of Dorohedoro's identity and charm.
-
I had to doublecheck to make sure this wasn't an april fools thing.
Not much progress was made, but having four talking hopping heads provide comedy and En discover that his mansion has been defiled more than made up for it.
-
Hmmm, Hayashida, you know, I friggin' love how weird your manga is and how your preferences in a time of tension are weird (En's house furniture >>>>>> current situation), but. . .yeah, could you make stuff happen again, if only a little?
Yeah, Asu was pretty hilarious and stuff, but. . .man. Make. Stuff. Happen.
Oh, and for En's sake, give Nikaido something to wear. It's awfully distracting.
-
I'm kinda torn between not wanting the series to end and wanting to see something beside amusing banter again. Oh well, still an awesome chapter.
-
This chapter we had Noi finally dehammered, En left Shinless and Kai back with yet another head on his shoulders. That's plenty on its own.
Just two chapters ago the first round of the final battle finished with Aikawa and Risu manhandling Kai. Now that Hayashida has enough time to finish this properly, she should be using that time to carefully prepare the scene to be able to play all the pieces scattered around in the right way. And she has been doing exactly that, dividing her attention equally between all the factions. Even poor Asu hasn't been forgotten even if he is being ignored for the moment. Though this be madness yet there is method in it.
And no, kouch, you might repeat it every chapter but Nikaido isn't getting any clothes until Hayashida feels like it if she ever does. Personally, I think her being bare naked perfectly fits her devil high and should gradually lead into her complete devil transformation. It is only as distracting as you wish it to be.
-
Being a monthly manga, when I finally get my Dorohedoro fix I kinda creave for more stuff to happen, I don't think it's that weird. I'm not saying the content itself ain't good; Hayashida is weird as all fuck, her preferences are upside down, and there's this halo of uniqueness around Dorohedoro you either buy or don't, and I've been buying it all this time.
But I'd still like for more stuff to happen in 24-25 pages worth of content beyond "Hayashida is weird, gotta love her".
Aikawa growing another head is hardly a development anymore considering he grows them like tomatoes. The other two things you mentioned I won't deny are something alright.
As for Nikaido's lack of clothes for the past 6 chapters. . .well. It is distracting to me to have a character's boobs constantly on show. And now it's not just the boobs. And being a demon has nothing to do with her being naked, unless you were refering how that devil woman is naked inside her demon ¿disguise?.

Of course it's not weird to want more when it concerns a highly enjoyable content.
I am just pointing out that stuff keeps happening all over the place. Even if most of the happenings this chapter seem very low-key, pretty much all of them are immediately leading into the next intense part of the climax. The pacing might have slowed down a little to make all the preparations needed, but that's hardly new, likely delberate and goes even before the transfer to Hibana, probably to when Hayashida was given the go to extend the ending.

Dude. Kai has a finite number of heads. He is three down, at six now.

I am refering to her devil form from the future being completely naked. Not unlike many other devils who go either topless, pantless or completely naked.
I suppose it doesn't bother me at all because how nude Nikaido is treated. She isn't exactly being objectified. She suffered damage and was captured but she keeps thinking about the battle and analyzing her enemy. Her being naked and having a great figure mostly comes off as an afterthought.

Kai had 9 bodies (original Ai plus 8 magic users). Kai stores those bodies in the sludge-filled coffins which existed in the reality distortion inside him (and now exist in the reality distortion outside him). Kai can replenish body parts he loses using the 9 spare bodies, including heads. When the body parts in a sludge coffin are completely used up, the coffin breaks. For example, when En mushroomed Kaiman from inside out during their fight in volume 10, the crate containing Kaiman's body/head broke. Likewise, in 133, Devil Kai used up a head from one of the coffins, so that coffin broke. Devil Kai has 2 more sludge coffins left. Meaning, he's down to 3 heads - that's including the one he is currently using.

I never would have guessed. So that's Ai's power, the one to store inside him other bodyparts, including the brain demons of other magic users that are transforming him into an artificial demon.

The truth is nigh. Revelations incoming? Or more blue-balling?
Wathever it'll be, now I can't fucking wait.
And I guess I'll have to re-read the entire series again for the seventh or eigth time. Thankfully, doing so is such a pleasure. . .
-
Man, that was way too short. So I guess we're getting a flashback next chapter - maybe the whole next chapter - with the… thing possessing dying human-Caiman?
-
Loved the last page for some reason. Not always you see this style used in a manga.
And En, why are you so grossed out? Didn't you turn people into mushrooms and eat them? It's so weird to see him without a mask.
-
There's a new chapter out, and I'm gonna be total honest with you: it's FUCKING awesome.
Go read it, beer in hand.
-
Oh! I'm linking the origin of Hole. Wonder what the entity that came out to be from all those corpeses wants. Revenge against magic users?
-
If anything, Chidaruma is the personification of what this manga's about.
I really wish we had a lot more of him.
-

Exact same thing I was thinking. Chidaruma embodies Dorohedoro. All his antics are enjoyable to the max.
-
He's so entertaining i personally just ignored what was probably the biggest plot reveal of the manga so far.
-
I actually think the rest of the things going on in this chapter were almost as engaging as Chidaruma. Special mention to the wolf face demon and his beer. I just cracked up at the random "I'll go fetch him. . .BEER IN HAND." "Oh, shit, dropped my beer!".
And, yeah, the reveal was so sweet. Like, fucking finally, Hayashida is giving us a bone to bite. Thank you.
-
Another great chapter. They just go by so fast…
Poor Dokuga, man, I was totally siding with him, but En is En. Is he dead, though? Or just uber maimed?
-
En really really loves Kikurage, lol. He looks so uncharacteristically worried.
SHIN! NOI! How i miss you guys!
-

Poor Dokuga, indeed. T_T But I think he's just injured, not dead.
