Never could have seen that coming. I bet his broken arm got fixed by the blow as well.

Normal people would get killed after a blow like that, but not if they trained several months on Higanjima.

This reminds me of protomen rock opera.

Spoiler

Spoiler of the rock opera narative, it pretty much twists megaman's story. Protoman was made to save humanity from the evil robots, but he "failed". Megaman was made out of sheer strife and light tried to keep him from fighting because it was a "hopeless fight", megaman goes do it anyway. He kicks ass and insipires a lot of people, and gets to the battle, defeats many robots, and then protoman pops up. See, he "failed" because he tried to rally people, but the people refused to fight for themselves, they wanted a hero to save them, but refused to fight for it, and that's why he believed he "failed" and gave in. To quote the song "there are no heroes left in man". It's supposed to be a critic over the whole "holding out for a hero" theme we see here, where everyone is absolutely useless and refuses to do shit but rally for a hero, and if the hero fails in anyway, the large group of people just scramble and gives in.

"Oh no, the hero died, we're all useless and hopeless, wuaaaaaah"

Bunch o' pieces of shit.

And for a second there, I believed Nishiyama was a true man who would stand the ground, because you don't fight because of the hero, you fight because of the caus- Nevermind, he's standing his ground because he thinks Akira is still alive.

Fuck's sakes. How old is this manga again... 2002, there's no excuse for how bad this is written, christ.

Like, the author is aware that other characters can have an impact and you don't have to saddle everything on the protagonist, right?

@egi321

There was never a need for this to be a seriously written work.

This clearly just and horror/action flick and I love it for that reason. Cliche as it is, its still better written than isekai trash and the monster design alone elevates this work amongst the chaff.

Chapters without someone peeing themselves: 70

To be honest I like the "bad" that this work has achieved recently (I think It's started when they escape from the mine), It's like an old school fiction, entertainement.

Akira could survive a car crash at this point
