I did not expect the story to turn out like this.

I'm actually kind of tearing up. This is one of the saddest things I've ever read.

Kosmopol, thank you for your hard work. You're awesome!

[sandmjuggalos]

Just...WOW. This is indeed shaping up to be an excellent story. The first 10 days of May is SO far!

All Praise Kosmopol!

I cant take the manga seriously. Sure, its made by Badrobot and stuff, but i think its some kind of Fan-art made by theirselfs.. just for fun.
I mean.. if the monster attacked another city before, wouldnt the rest of the world be aware of that before it attacked NYC? It would have been all over the news since those people in that other city have camera's too.

The comic says they found in this great hugeness (I think they are referring to the seabed nectar) there was this small endless thing: Is it referring to pod or the monster?

In the last few frames, is it just Kishin talking... or are both Kishin and the Monster talking?

Also... what exactly does "The useless thing can abandon" mean? Lol.

Lambo, in the last frames, it was Kinshin talking. If Clover spoke (which i do not think it can), the speech bubbles would most likely be shaped much different.


And I take back what I assumed earlier, about the manga showing Clover's thoughts... I now think, based on this "Kishin has the Splinter within him and is connected to Clover" madness, that when Kishin is unconcious, he sees glimpses into Clover's mind. o_o That would much better explain the bizarre flashback pages, I think.

As for "this useless thing can abandon" line, I am not sure. I am trying to figure out the kana to see if I get a different translation (my eyesight is poor, perhaps someone can make the frame larger for me?)

[Clover]

I may have ruined my vision, but I think I can clarify the line.

必要　＝ necessity
ない　＝　denotes negativity (so, something is not a necessity)
物　＝　thing

(not a necessary thing...)

は = just a part of Japanese sentences
無くなればいいんだ　＝　Lit, It should have been gone

So...

This is not a necessity. It should be eliminated (my wording, giving it a dramatic flair~).

So, what is he talking about? I think he is talking about the world. He's been pushed over the edge. He has a giant monster to do his bidding. Who wouldn't destroy the world in his position?

we have to remember that english is kosmo's (no offense man, we love you to death) second language. it would take someone undyingly fluent in english and japanese, so i'm sure that these translations are absolutely LITERAL, not interpretive.

i'm sure that "the useless thing can abandon" means, in the english sense, kishin's own feelings of uselessness. that's my opinion and interpretation, anyway. "this 'uselessness' can be abandoned!!". he was always lamenting on how useless he was. and, in discovering what exactly he was, and the power he could now wield, that would be my thought on the matter.


and yes, the "great hugeness" would be the ocean itself, and the "small, endless thing" (endless could be a literal translation trying to convey "endlessly small", as being compared to the ocean they found it in),was most definitely speaking about the pod.
