fuck
alright
let's get this over with
it's up to you people to keep this thread alive so that the info can spread/everyone interested sees this thread
cus I'm gonna go to sleep in like 15 minutes
so.. do that
>Tokugawa: How long has he been like this?
>Guy: The whole time.
>G: That is to say...
>G: He hasn't eaten once since we brought him back here.
>T: What a waste...
>T: We're bringing him real dinosaur meat...
>>142924389
>real dinosaur meat
wat
>T: He's been here for four days already.
>T: He hasn't so much as taken a bite of that world-class treasure, the T-Rex meat.
>T: Huh?
>T: Hey!
>>142924433
did you forget that they had the frozen T-rex just kinda lying around in storage
Pickle's been in hiding, so they presumably haven't done anything with it, and are just trying to give it to him again now that he's back
>>142924433
They had a bunch of it from the T-Rex they found frozen along with Pickle, IIRC.
>Baki: Been a long time.
jellus tokugawa is jellus
>T: Hey.
>T: What'd you tell him?
>T: What did you talk about?
>B: We couldn't talk.
>B: Because Pickle can't speak.
>B: Regardless...
>B: He has a certain determination.
>B: He has come to recognize him...
>T: Recog-
>B: As food.
>B: Pickle.
>B: He's recognized Miyamoto Musashi as food.
>T: Musashi is food!!?
>B: Watch and see.
>T: What are you...?
>T: That Musashi-san...
>T: Is to become Pickle's meal...
>>142924644
Please Pickle, please
>T: To eat Musashi...
>T: Do you seriously believe that...
>T: That such a thing could be possible?
>T: What's more,
>T: Refusing to eat food has certainly weakened Pickle.
[this whole page is really weird, but I should be right]
>B: It's not that he's "refusing to eat".
>B: He's simply "not eating".
>B: He doesn't want to eat 'food'.
>B: He wants a feast.
>B: He wants to eat dramatically.
>B: A while earlier...
>B: I was put at ease by something Orochi Doppo said.
>B: In the wild, the condition of starvation...
>B: Is surely the best condition possible.
>T: I see...
>B: Musashi's beloved sword...
>B: Has returned to his hands.
>B: But, really...
>B: I've thought about it to no end.
>B: The strongest dinosaur of the Cretaceous Period, the T-Rex.
>B: Could their fangs...
>B: Really be lesser than swords?
>editor line: Musashi's blade(s). Pickle's fangs. Headed to a clash!
So it looks like Itagaki does really intend for Pickle to be legitimate competition for Musashi. Baki's last line makes it seem like Itagaki's thinking critically again about his writing (to some extent). But yeah, I think this fight could be a good turn for the arc. What do you think?
>>142924863
I think we'll have to see, we've already just seen Gaia instantly job.
If they were gonna have a second round I think the first one went on for too long. It should have been like they did with Retsu. Anyway, it could be a good fight, but I see no other outcome than Musashi winning, he still has to fight Memetobe and have a rematch with Baki. The only question is whether Pickle will live.
>>142925004
I maintain my desire to see Musashi get Ali Jr'd.
>>142924863
Is Baki doubting Nippon Steel?and of course, the fact Musashi fucking destroyed him twice with ease?
Why is Motobe a badass out of nowhere now?
>>142925420
I don't think you can count the first down as a loss, for either side. They were feeling each other out. Musashi beat Baki once as I see it, and that wasn't in a "real fight" anyway.
Pickle vs yujiro fucking when ?
>>142925495
He's been a life/death weapon user, in a world of deathless hand to hand bouts.
Now shit's real
>>142925495
because he smokes the peace pipe
>>142924692
back to its gay roots I see
>>142925737
The only other time we've had a similarly gay scene was in SoO; that's nowhere near its 'roots'
>>142925759
>implying the whole manga is not a huge homoerotic muscle wankfest
I love Baki from the botom of my heart but this is clear as a mountain lake's water.
Makes sense thematically for Pickle and Musashi to fight, a historical victor fighting a per-historical unrecognized victor.
R.I.P. pickle, you are now irrelevant it's for the best.
Your rape baby will live on.
>Pickle goes Scar Mode
>Dashes full speed at Musashi
>Gets Cleaved in 2
How do you react?
>>142928151
quit baki for a couple weeks; come back to see if there was any retribution/justice
