"Isn't it just a horror manga where giants eat people?" If you are avoiding Attack on Titan  because you think so, you are missing out on something incredible. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that this is not just a panic horror, but a "war drama about boys riding in biological weapons." In this post, I will analyze the battles of Eren Yeager and Reiner through the lens of "Real Robot Anime" like Gundam  and Evangelion . By doing so, you will see the hot, cruel "sou

Hi everyone, this is Osamu. Today, I want to dig deep into the biggest and most physiologically repulsive mystery in Attack on Titan : "Predation" —analyzing it from historical and occult perspectives. Why do Titans eat humans? It’s not for nutrition, as they lack digestive organs. They simply kill, and when their stomachs are full, they vomit it back up. This "meaningless slaughter" was the greatest terror planted in us at the beginning of the series. However, the truth reve

Hello, it's Osamu, your manga blogger! Who is the strongest in a pure "Bare-Knuckle Brawl"  without special beams? I've summoned characters from "Sakamoto Days"  and "Viral Hit"  to find out! 3rd Place: Hobin Yu / Kota Shimura (Viral Hit) His strength lies in "Knowledge and Counters"  learned from videos. He fights with realistic techniques, but against the building-destroying monsters above, it might be physically tough! 2nd Place: Evil Eye / Jiji (Dandadan) He doesn't use

Hello, it's Osamu, your manga blogger! Various aliens appear in Dandadan , but the "Serpo Aliens"  who persistently target Momo and the gang are unique. Their weird goal of "regaining reproductive functions" and their creepiness in spawning infinite clones no matter how many times you beat them is unsettling. However, looking across the manga world, there are "crazy aliens" capable of wiping out the Earth, or even the universe itself. So today, I’ve created the "Manga World's

Hello, it's Osamu, your manga blogger! Among the fascinating characters in Dandadan , the one who stands out the most is undoubtedly Momo's grandmother, Seiko Ayase . She looks like a stunningly beautiful "big sister," but inside, she's a "Grandma" who speaks rough Osaka dialect. However, her skills are the real deal! Using barrier techniques and beating up aliens and spirits with a baseball bat in hand, she is truly the epitome of a "Reliable Adult." But the manga world is f

Hello, it's Osamu, your manga blogger! For a manga protagonist, "harboring a monster inside your body"  is the classic, ultimate romantic trope, isn't it? In Dandadan , Jiji (Jin Enjoji) is possessed by the powerful supernatural entity "Evil Eye,"  displaying overwhelming physical abilities. Destroying buildings while wearing nothing but briefs is just too crazy (lol). So today, I’m ranking these characters with "possessed constitutions" or "inner powers" in a crossover speci

Hello, manga blogger Osamu here! Momo Ayase, the heroine of Dandadan . She’s a "gal" with a strong sense of duty, and above all, her fighting style using "Psychokinesis"  is just incredibly cool! But, a thought crossed my mind. "Wait, doesn't the manga world already have some ridiculously powerful psychics...?" So today, I’m doing a forbidden comparison project! Tornado of Terror (Tatsumaki) from One Punch Man  and Mob from Mob Psycho 100 . Against these "Two Titans," how far

Hello! It's Osamu, your manga blogger. Dandadan  is currently exploding in popularity all over the world thanks to the anime adaptation! If there's one thing that defines the battles in this series, it's the incredible "sense of speed." The protagonist, Okarun (Ken Takakura), transforms using the power of "Turbo Granny." His greatest weapon is simple yet unbeatable: "Super High-Speed Movement." So, I came up with a little hypothetical scenario: "What if the speedsters from Sh

[Chainsaw Man] Who is the Strongest!? Top 10 Character Power Rankings [My Personal Bias] Hello everyone, it’s Osamu, your manga blogger! When it comes to the appeal of Chainsaw Man , it has to be the unreasonably powerful devils and the blood-soaked battles, right? "So, who is actually the strongest?" "Who’s on top: Makima or the Gun Devil?" For those asking these questions, today I’m presenting my "Top 10 Strongest Characters Ranking," chosen completely based on my own perso

Hello, this is Osamu, the manga blogger. In Chainsaw Man , there is one character who colored the story most noisily and vividly as Denji's buddy and the "high-maintenance little sister" of the Hayakawa household... Yes, it's "Power-chan (Lord Power)" ! "It wasn't me!" "Bow down, human!" Why was she, who spewed nothing but abusive language and lies, so loved by readers, and why did she meet such an end? Today, we will dig deep into the charm of the Blood Fiend, Power, and the

Hello, this is Osamu, the manga blogger. For readers of Chainsaw Man , one of the most heart-wrenching episodes is undoubtedly the end of Aki Hayakawa . Cool and serious, he initially found Denji and Power annoying. Watching him gradually deepen his bonds with them and form a "family" was one of the few comforting aspects of this series. However, the conclusion was an exceedingly cruel "worst possible death." Why did he meet such an end? Let's unravel this through his contrac

Hello, this is Osamu, the manga blogger. Everyone who has finished reading Part 1 of Chainsaw Man  has probably thought about it at least once: the existence known as Makima . As a high-ranking Public Safety Devil Hunter directly under the Chief Cabinet Secretary, she displayed overwhelming charisma and terrifying strength. However, as the story progressed, her cold and ruthless side was revealed. She drove Aki to his "worst possible death," killed Power without hesitation, a

Hello! This is Osamu, the manga blogger. Demon Slayer  has taken all of Japan by storm. Its appeal, of course, lies in its moving story and fascinating characters. But I believe the root of its horror—and its sorrow—lies in the existence of the "Oni" (demons). They are depicted as transcendent beings who rule the night, devour humans, and possess incredible regenerative abilities. So, are these "Oni" in Demon Slayer  the same as the "Oni" we know from classic folktales (like

The 0.1-Second "Blink" Was the Signal to Begin Slicing through the Shibuya nightscape as if it were paper, the distance between the "strongest" becomes zero. That "gap" is approximately 0.1 seconds. In a time shorter than a reader's finger takes to flip a page, Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes slowly blink, and Sukuna's four pupils dilate. Their mutual "gazes" are the starting gun.

Kick-off: The "Soccer x Death Game" That Destroyed Convention Blue Lock  is the series that tore the classic sports manga trope of "teamwork is justice" in two, placing "individual ego" at its center. The original author, Muneyuki Kaneshiro, transfused the "death game" grammar he cultivated in As the Gods Will  directly into soccer. With the conductor Ego Jinp

Hello, this is Osamu, the Blog Maker. Jujutsu Kaisen  is incredibly popular, isn't it? I'm completely hooked myself. Beyond the intense action, what particularly draws me in is the "depth" of its world-building. Why does this story grip our hearts so fiercely? I believe it's because the series is more than just a battle manga; it stimulates our unconscious, shared memories of ancient "myths" and "sorcery." Today, I want to take a slightly deeper dive into the source of Jujuts

Hello! This is Osamu, the manga blogger. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ... no matter how many times I read it, my heart burns with excitement. The incredibly unique characters, the life-and-death battles with their nemesis, the demons... And at the core of those battles is, of course, "Total Concentration Breathing." The Demon Slayer Corps members use this special breathing technique to push their physical abilities to the absolute limit and fight on par with demons. It got

Hello! This is Osamu, the manga blogger. Did you get a chance to read my last post about "Breathing Techniques and Shinto Rituals"? Man, the more I dig into Demon Slayer , the more I find it connects to traditional Japanese culture and mythology. I just can't stop analyzing it! So, last time was about "breathing," so this time I want to focus on the "organization" of the Demon Slayer Corps. That's right: the top fighters of the Corps, the "Hashira" (Pillars) . They're explain

Hello! This is Osamu, the manga blogger. He is the origin of all evil in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba , and the ultimate nemesis: Muzan Kibutsuji. In the story, it’s revealed that he was born as the progenitor of the "Oni" (demons) over a thousand years ago, during the "Heian period." Doesn't that make you wonder? Why the Heian period? Not the Warring States (Sengoku) period, nor the Edo period. At first glance, it seems like a glamorous era where aristocrats cultivated ele

Hey everyone, it's Osamu. Thanks to a certain incredibly popular manga and anime, the idea that "wisteria flowers repel demons (Oni)" has become common knowledge lately. In the story, wisteria is used like a protective barrier to keep demons at bay. But it made me wonder... "Why wisteria?" Not cherry blossoms, not chrysanthemums, but wisteria. Today, I want to dig into this mystery from the perspective of folklore and the traditions of "protection from evil." What is "Protect
