@Aangmj12 You don't get a national 99% Conviction rate without some kind of shenanigans going on.

@Makenai The human ability to drink the milk of other animals long into adulthood is actually a pretty rare evolutionary trait amongst mammals. Unfortunately the human population of north America was cut off from the rest of the species long before the genes for lactase persistence could spread...

@CrimsonManga89 I believe it's still just a theory technically, but it's really the only thing that makes sense logically, and perhaps more importantly, narratively.

@CrimsonManga89 The fortune teller was spying/keeping tabs on Reika for the cult. That's why he was able to keep warning Reika with his "Psychic" powers. He's also how the cult knew to kill the syndicate member when he made his move to abduct her.

@Kaed Buddhism had a pretty major effect on Shinto and Japanese culture/history in general. infact the only reason any of the Shinto gods have human forms is because of Buddhism's influence.

I think she did try to rig it, but then freaked out once she made eye contact with Tadano, hence the scream and the throwing of the box.

@thefabulouspotato wax is much more economical, yes, depending on where you live anyway. Chalk has to be mined from the earth and then transported by cart or boat from wherever is was mined from, so naturally the further you live from a calk mine the more expensive it's going to be...

@velamela I think he used the sack as a shield precisely because if Asirpa had been in it they wouldn't have shot at him.

@jcwolf03 the thing is there are so many to pick from it would be really hard to definitively give you an answer. Hundreds if not thousands of cults have sprang up in the wake of ww2 to fill the spiritual vacuum that was created when the emperor was forced to publicly admit he wasn't an actual...

@JakalDX I don't think anyone balms you for it not making sense. Honestly is doesn't matter what you would have translated it as, it still would have been nonsense. Even if Ohkubo meant that pi has finally been calculated to the point where it repeats (which sure, for the sake of fantasy we'll...

just a PAS for any who's a little rusty on their math skills/facts. Pi isn't an equation. It's just the ratio between a circle's circumference to its diameter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCBPlpPnVpk I think I'm starting to suspect where the author is getting his inspiration...

@GeneraleRusso Exactly, thank you. The Japanese police force/legal system were never really forced to give up a lot of the powers they had under imperial rule. This usually isn't a problem because on the whole Japanese society is a very forward thinking modern democracy. However a 99% conviction...

@EdenSphinx the half baked theories I've come up with over the years is that A: it all hearkens back to Christianity's not so steller introduction into japan. i.e Christians are bad therefore the beings they like are evil, ergo the beings they call evil must actually be good. a couple centuries...

@Yanako that's basically my understanding of it too. what I've pieced together is that "Demon gods" are people who have tried to achieved the apex of certain quasi-mystical styles of martial art, but have messed up horribly somewhere along the way in their training, and subsequently spiral out...

@blueshell Ueji keiji. One of the escaped convicts and a serial child murderer masquerading as a candy peddler operating in the same city as jack. He is who drew Sugimoto and co. to the city; and he get's off on seeing peoples faces when they've been horribly disappointed. For years while he and...

The demon Buer.

@HoneyPopper sure, yes and that's obviously profoundly tragic. But at the same time if you commit suicide by tricking your lover into killing you, you are also an asshole.

@KingDM23 I think this next arc will be when he truly grows to understand the way of life father tried to show him. I.E striving for pacifism whenever possible, but understanding that sometimes, and always as a last resort, violence is necessary to protect others. Understanding his father's...

@anon763 to add to this: most gun savvy people in the old west only ever loaded 5 of a revolvers 6 chambers (or one less of whatever the maximum was) and set the gun on the empty chamber to prevent accidental discharge.
