It really does. I used to read it every week right when it came out and now I find myself only taking a look once a month or so. Really sucks and directly kills the enthusiasm I've had for ToG for a long time.

Same. Getting put on webtoons is like the kiss of death at this point for anything that looks like it might be an interesting read. Please go to tapas or something instead

I don't think this flashback is bad since now it's actually involving characters I care about it's just kind of a bummer that it's just been on top of so many others in the lead up to it over the course of this arc that I'm still feeling kind of resentful of it pausing the action of the main story.

This is the first flashback that's interesting. Maybe a bit too long because it's fleshing out characters I don't really care about that much, the whole canines thing feels too much like a sideshow to the main Bam storyline.

I'm very ok with it and I like both the dog and the cat (again, shame the cat was quite so unforgivably evil on his first appearance). This whole backstory has been related to stuff I actually care about (house leaders/organization). At the moment it looks like it will explain important stuff more than Baam fighting increasingly stronger people will.

Back to the present. Normally I'd be elated for that, but we didn't get to see the backstory finish so I'm kinda pissed about it.

Calling it, the bomb in the cat tower is either inside Fucile, the division commander, or he himself is the bomb .

It's a shame the translation is so lovely, this last few episodes have been very interesting, down to the little details, like the humanity creation story nennen tells seems very relevant to the whole Cha, descendent of the first man, Dowon flower powers, workshop machine aspect .


I'm also very interested in this, and also if leviathan is really eating specific emotions out of Traumerei, or if it's just the translation that could be misread as such.

It felt like it was going that direction for a very long time. I still think what he did to the cage dogs was just too terrible though.

I like his story, he’s fighting against his shackles. Some strife and bad choices along the way only make that story stronger, especially when his actions are inherent to his frivolous catlike nature

last weeks chapter that was a few weeks ahead got postponed due to illness/injury issues and honestly ToG chapters are really long compared to most other webtoons maybe SiU should just make them a bit shorter

What's the deal with two characters running where one of them has perfect upright posture and pumps their arms vigorously and the other one Naruto runs? So far I've seen that exact combination here, in the venture bros title sequence, and when Saitama and Genos had to run somewhere.

Does that actually happen in Naruto itself at some point or is it just a coincidence or in-joke?

They are Hypermiling, like drifting in the wake of a semi or nascar racing.

i get a lot of peoples complaints with the fights these days involving lots of beam attacks and i assume its due to SiU's arthritis issues and its just much easier to draw

this arc has definitely dragged on way too long though

I think he wrote himself into a corner where there's no easy way to represent such massive differences in power visually. Characters did big energy blasts very early into the series - how do you show that this new big energy blast is 100x as strong?

A better artist can convey things like speed/force in movements, but that requires exceptional talent. IMO someone in SIU's position would be best off going the HxH route where you just use a ton of text to help describe what's happening. Showing is better than telling, but sometimes you just don't have the ability or time to adequately "show."

Togashi is a really good artist. I dont really have a problem with ToG's art either, usually when characters look dumb fighting it's because their designs are awkward like the giant spider woman. ToG is a series that's kind of obsessed with power levels and you usually have a decent grasp of where each character lies at any given time. (Recently I think the head reattach was especially cool.)

If this arc has a problem it's that there are 90+ characters split across half a dozen+ locations but at least it's actually moving forward.

Generally the art in TOG is excellent. I agree the battles are starting to suffer from too much clutter, the recent fast pass chapter was really bad in that aspect

Yeah, I didn't meant to imply otherwise; just that HxH is a good example of how you can get by with heavy text as long as the events taking place as compelling and well thought-out.

I think that "being able to accurately convey complex movements and physical action/choreography" is its own drawing skill that can be very difficult, even if someone is otherwise skilled at drawing characters, environments, etc.
