    20th Century Boys - Vol. 15 Ch. 158 - Trite Prophecies

    huh. I mean, maybe we're all just living in a sort of hellish holding room since the beginning of 2016.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 14 Ch. 157 - Youth and Dreams

    Donkey turning around and going "yeah, that's scientific" was really moving, damn.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 14 Ch. 155 - Warped Memories

    welp, I guess all that's left to see is how the author executes on the resurrection storyline

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 14 Ch. 153 - Encounter With the Past

    that... was most definitely not what I expected. Foreshadowed with the doll in the mansion, maybe... though if this is portrayed as a "hey look at me, I want attention" kind of thing like it appears to be setting up I am going to be so disappointed with this story's callous treatment of suicide.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 14 Ch. 150 - The Day He Saw Something

    oh my god, they're going to bring Friend back. I want to say I knew it, but I had some honest doubts for a moment there. Well, now those doubts are assuaged, they can do the resurrection of Christ thing, have a final epic shounen battle, and I won't have to consider this manga as being any more...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 14 Ch. 148 - Evil Emperor

    oh, it wasn't foreshadowing the end of the story necessarily, but this exact moment. It's all connected...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 14 Ch. 147 - The True 1971

    ...you know, I never made that connection before between God and the bowling alley that replaced the grassy lot. It's obvious, now that you look at it, that it's foreshadowing the end of the story (children's story ends, God's long-awaited return of bowling occurs).

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 13 Ch. 143 - A Quiet Town in Germany

    I stg neither of them gets up in the morning.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 13 Ch. 142 - The Frog Empire Strikes Back (2)

    AWWWW YEAHHHH (and an update on Kiriko can't forget about that)

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 13 Ch. 141 - The Frog Empire Strikes Back (1)

    so the virus has broken out, and we finally figure out what frogman's been doing.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 13 Ch. 140 - The Beginning of the End

    I agree with Koal that the most devout, charismatic, and therefore powerful follower probably took control. And decided to use the biological weapon they were sitting on...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 13 Ch. 139 - A Real Man

    oh damn, are they really going to go through with the "the leader is dead and now we deal with the aftereffects" storyline? Bold, if so... if they go through with this I'll actually have to reassess this manga, and especially Fukubei's death.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 13 Ch. 138 - Confessions in 2003

    oof, Yamane the idiot. I gotta say, seeing the number 150,000 talked about like an incredible figure really throws this whole "Coronavirus" thing into perspective. 200,000+ deaths in the U.S. alone, and it's not even over yet...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 13 Ch. 135 - Friend's Death

    No. no. no way. There's no way he didn't know that Yamane had a gun. There's no way this isn't some stunt where he resurrects from the dead in three days. Besides, where did that frog guy end up? I know he wasn't present at the December 31st 2000 event, but that just makes things more...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 12 Ch. 133 - The Face of a Friend

    hmm... you know, I guessed this 100 chapters ago, but now that I'm thinking about it, this would make more sense as a final confrontation deep within the bowels of the enemy lair, in a properly shounen style. A single gunshot in an old science lab just somehow doesn't seem quite fitting, and...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 12 Ch. 132 - The Real Gunshot

    oh gosh, guns are pretty rare in Japan. He's got a license, something "Friend" should probably know about... is Fukubei not Friend? or is Friend not the man behind that mask...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 12 Ch. 130 - Gunshot (1)

    oh my god, is Fukubei actually Friend? Did a random hunch of mine from 100 chapters ago somehow manage to be correct?! I blame this all entirely on the good plotting/foreshadowing, if so.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 11 Ch. 121 - Memories of the Science Room

    and the ghost in the science room's name is Katsumata, fwiw

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 11 Ch. 118 - Godzilla

    welp, this moment was very very set up, maybe even a bit too much? Like, it just became a fact you assumed at some point that Kanna's mother, who is probably the current Head Dream Investigator, and was also a bacteriologist who got in so far with Friend as to have his baby, figured out how to...

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 11 Ch. 114 - Complete Devotion

    damn, Mon-chan... guess he was too dangerous to leave alive, even for the short amount of time he had left.
