Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys, Volume 9 Book

What an idiot ! was the first thing that came to mind when the assassin mentioned the holy mother and he didn't know what it meant of course its kanna's mother , you don't even need to think to figure this one out, but what does the script mean by bring with her heaven or hell ? - may i pursue my conspiracy theory further and say that she will bring forth the identity of friend to light and that we are not to be happy with the outcome?!
i would like to talk about details , i am one of the slowest readers out there but its mainly because i care about the details and i don't like to leave a passage that needs deep thought without giving it just that, and in manga where the text most of the time is not vast like novels or most of the comics really , the details are most of the time in the art , because i think in manga the art has most of the unspoken details so you should really give it a through look and enjoy the art , 20th century boys art is one of the best i have perceived in manga so far, and its really clear in this issue where you have a place filled to the prim and them some more with people and all the faces are unique even the people in the back they all look different its insane i don't know how berserk or gantz or 20th century boys did and kept doing that for the time they ran.
So many great manga out there and so little time , specially with all the things i am interested in doing.
Kanna really takes after kenji , most of her expressions look exactly like his specially after his store got burned and he lived underground , the tough indifferent confident look on his face she got it all in spades , i fucking love kanna she is my 20th century boys crash, and there is competition yukiji when she was younger and kyoko are really great as well but kanna is just angelic.
you always forget to talk about the first half of these 200 pages manga volumes and i almost did .
it was magical seeing yoshitsune trying to kyoko and his younger self in the virtual reality doing exactly that and trying to save her, even though i thought he might be programmed to prevent her from looking at his face but then he went ahead and took off his mask anyway, the look on her face told a whole different story she knew that person and she was surprised who is he?
this mystery will be the death of me but i welcome death .
even though the mention of the woodstock rock festival the festival of love and peace was brief , but i remember that day i stopped reading and googled the festival read some about it and the singers who performed even the ones who were invited and didnt come , i love that getting to know stuff like that which i might not be interested in but they are part of history , imagine that vast number of people gathered in the same place for one thing in these horrible conditions and they made it work !
also what about the best game of rabbit nabokov ever which might be fiction but it was so good i was on the edge of my seat while reading it , ended unceremoniously but i loved it nonetheless
my heart breaks for how this group of friends wasted their lives pursuing this goal of saving the world , if it was me i would have given up the first time i lost , but not them not any of them , maybe the loss of lives played a huge part in that, they had already lost people they loved so much and it was out of their hands you cant do anything but continue the fight for those who passed away.
if i was concentrated enough yukiji said that one day mon chan disappeared where did he go, and when will he decide to come back or atleast the revelation of his fate be told?!
Who wrote the new book of prophecy, isnt this truly insane? , that was like 2002 or 2005 i think when the book was written, so if the first book which all its events came true was written by kenji, even though Friend who knew about the book might have enforced the events and made them all come true but its really hard for this to happen right ?
What if and i know i made many hypothesis about this already , kenji somehow can really predict the future and like he made the first book of prophecy he made the new book of prophecy which is now coming true , you can say a robot will attack and then go make the robot, but you cant say this group of people which you dont have anything to do with their movements do exactly that in the time and place you specified , that really takes someone who knows the future , so my final words i ll add to my theory that kenji can tell the future he is some kind of esp like kanna is and he made the new book and he is in fact friend ...
