Wonder why the artstyle is so different compared to Usogui

 

[Ghetsis]

@KeepTheFeather
The (much) later story arcs of Usogui are drawn in this style. I think the author's current style has its moments of greatness(and I generally like it, besides the huge heads), but overall I think I miss his older art from like the tower arc ;_;

Given the shine on page 6, I think the large forehead is very much intentional and he seems to be completely unapologetical about it.

Also, Jyungo, calm down, it's a pretty rough and simple drawing.

And as far as I'm aware, seven head beast is more of a force of expression thing, though it is used pretty much the same way as it was used in this chapter: to denote that something is not as complicated as it could be / previously expected to be.
EX: "Yeah, so playing te guitar is a bit tricky, but it ain't no seven headed beast"

I cannot point out the origin of the expression, but given how christianity played a big part on Brazil's formation, and this is only a guess so take it with a boulder-sized grain of salt, I would think that it probably has a relation to the seven headed beast of the bible, maybe some indians used it as an expression after a priest tried explaining the beast to them, and it just stuck.

There's also a brazillian movie on Besouro. The only thing I recall about it is not being very impressed, but hey, if anyone else care's for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Assailant

@egi321 you're totally right about the seven-headed beast thing :) I came hear toshare that but it seems like I needn't have bothered. I thought it was cute how the mestre was comforting him but the kid was just like "???"

@unime Same
Just like Naruto that time against Kiba

 

[GLaEDUS]

I can say as a brazilian that "Bicho de sete cabeças" is an expression for the things that are really complicated, like doing something you don't know, or being confused about something or even fear of the uncertain future.

 

[nivinator]

@GlaEDUS Damn, it's interesting that they put so much thought into this

Soundman sure goes around
