Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 - Disc-3
I've officially purchased all 9 volumes on Bookwalker (in Japanese). The scanlations are great, but they don't have the omake/bonus content consistently. Grateful I don't need to read all of it in Japanese though.
Ch. 18
-So is not!Killua's hair pink or just white and the cover has funky lighting? I kinda hope it's pink because that would be fun.
-The whole "Zeromaru doesn't want to evolve but he's perfectly healthy" thing sounded VERY familiar...
(Tho to be fair they implied he'll evolve eventually).
-Taichi's daydreaming about Zero evolving into Nanimon or "Majide-Nanimon" were really funny. I guess we're going by game logic where the evolutions are permanent? That's the vibe I'm getting anyways.
-It was nice to get a callback to those Agumon from the beginning. Love me some good continuity!
Ch. 19
-In this chapter we see digimon that are implied to be dead. This felt kinda weird to me because most digimon that "die" in the anime immediately vanish. It's weird to see bodies laying around.
-We get a backstory for Taichi's goggles which was about as necessary as the origins of Han Solo's name in that Solo movie. I guess they represent friendship and bravery because they come from his grandpa's dead pilot friend. Sure.
Ch. 20
-Neo has a peace sign on his t-shirt. How...menacing? (Maybe that's a hint at a future redemption arc or maybe the artists just doesn't know what the symbol means lol).
-Apparently going in and out of a jogress digivolution can restore HP? That seems kind of illogical to me since digivolutions have always been depicted as a tiring process...
Ch. 21
-A triple jogress!? Wild. Makes me wonder if there are any real limits to mashing digimon together...
-It's becoming increasingly awkward that Veedramon is only a champion at this point. I know that power levels aren't as simple as higher level = winner, but it does seem to go that way a majority of the time anyway. Wonder how they'll get around this...
Ch. 22
-Zero digivolution has arrived!! The Veedramon-> AeroVeedramon transition felt very reminiscent of Greymon->MetalGreymon. Very subtle changes. I appreciated the cool two-page spread. Wonder how long this version of Zero will stick around?
-This chapter was called "Butterfly" -wink wink nudge nudge-
Ch. 23
-I liked how Taichi wore his googles over his eyes while riding AeroVeedramon. Did Taichi ever wear his goggles properly in Adventure? Not that I can recall...I don't mind them being used as just a fashion statement, but we love a functional piece.
-And just like that, Neo is defeated and the 5 tags have been collected. I guess we can call arc #1 a wrap? If all arcs go at a 3 volume pace, we'll have 3 arcs total.
Ch. 24
-A random (probably not-so-random) girl appears! She's named Rei which is another word for "Zero." Makes me think...is Neo supposed to be an anagram for "one"?
-So far Rei has just been a damsel in distress, but she just got here so I'll hold my judgment on her characterization
-Neo somehow got a crack (?) in his face? I guess it's supposed to be a battle scar but it literally looks like cracked porcelain or something. Weird...
-Oh great, more edge-lord human characters. Just what we need. My initial impression is that they look kinda dumb, but like Rei, I'll give them a chance.
Omake - Episode Une
-Why did they write "one" in French but the furigana is in English? That's a choice...
-So this was just a potty humor omake where they address the need for tamers to take care of their digimon's bathroom needs. Since I'm not an 8 year old, I kinda just rolled my eyes at it.
-Rather than having Sukamon just throw poop they made him capable of controlling your bowels which is much more menacing if you ask me...biological warfare
-I thought it was pretty funny that the mangaka wrote a mini-essay after the gag chapter self-consciously asking for reader feedback and giving the origins of the chapter. His justifications for wanting to include a poop-related chapter since that was a big part of having a virtual pet made me respect the chapter more lol
Bonus Content
-Honestly, I think I kinda like dog-Zeromaru better. Digimon Adventure 1 & 2 already have dragon-like partners for their main characters, so it would have been nice to get some variety. Oh well.
-It was interesting to read about the transition between manga Taichi and anime Taichi. Supposedly the anime artist made some adjustments to make him easier to animate, but looking at them side-by-side the difference is extremely subtle.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 174 - Three-Way Struggle (5)
Gon is focusing on a stop watch
And they got a nice bonus of 5 days, my god Gon wasn’t ready for this
URGH
Gon is far from a perfect guess for his time
but 0.1 second is pretty good
GOREINU
some news
Goreinu is patiently waiting for them to move ? Do you think they’d leave before the timer runs out ?
In french Goreinu said he woulde send his beasts, I guess it was a mistranslation
or else his nen beasts would have a terrifying large range
WAIT you knew about those four ? I thought you didn’t know his team mates ? But now you know they’ve been together for 20 years ?!?
probably just a plothole
or they did some research
It’s nice to worry about it though
Well I guess they think it’s a free win now
Soon we’ll have a new pursuit from one side of the island to the other
Goreinu is the best
OH they had blue planet in waiting
Time to destroy Genthru
KILLUA
STOP LYING ABOUT BEING GOOD WHEN YOU’RE HURT
really this kid needs to let people care about him
ONE MINUTE
perfect
it’s a huge improvement from 1:01:10 error margin
Time to explore Battera’s reasons, where are they ? In Yorknew or just a random city
Battera looks sooooo out of it
the frame is pretty too
Roses are nice
You know I’d begin by saying she’s her when she was young
That’s pretty creepy otherwise
How long,? Because it looks like it would be about 40 to 50 years
A coma that long would fuck me up, I can’t wake up over 60 and be fine with it
They are looking at him with such a gentle look, thanks guys
I wouldn’t say this frame is clumsily made
Battera really was going to donate his money, he’s a nice billionaire
don’t eat THIS rich
Poor old man
I can’t imagine hoping for so long and nothing coming out of it
No nen users could have helped ?
OOOH so he didn’t need archangel’s breath only
He also needed the witch rejuvenating pills
Good for the comatose
They could have lived their life and have a second shot at this
Money can give you that, Leorio could never have gone this route
His hope became despair after so many years though so I won’t really focus on this, he suffered enough in his own way
Don’t kill yourself
Wait was it an actual event, I think I heard about it
NICE
three 10 years old ?
36 on 1266 passed
damn, is there details in the next post chapter page ?
I’ll see soon enough

Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 - Disc-2
Aww, no more full-color chapters this time around :'( it was fun while it lasted. I wonder why this manga never came out in America? I know Digimon didn't make it as big as Pokemon, but I would think it's big enough, no? Maybe they thought the alternate-world Taichi would be too confusing for kids which...fair.
Ch. 11
-This chapter was pretty creepy. The premise (a village going crazy and everyone killing each other) was already low key creepy pasta worthy, but the way the artist draws Zeromaru in crazy/brainwashed mode was pretty unsettling. Not to oversell it, in the end it's a pretty standard "teammates used against each other" plot.
-Something about an evil Patamon is pretty funny. He's too cute to be evil!
-I don't like Demon's design (didn't like his anime design either). The only part that's kinda cool is the "missing data" on his arm and mid-section.
-Seems kinda messed up that the digivice can make a digimon full instantly. Depriving your friend of the joys of eating :'(
Ch. 12
-Another Digimon World-like reference where Taichi talks about force feeding Zeromaru and not cleaning up his poop. Ah...so glad I never have to play that game again lol.
-Is Taichi wearing loose socks? Very 2000s of him. I miss that fad...
Ch. 13
-Digivice abilities so far: scan enemy digimon, transmit data to partner (commands, food, abilities). Seems pretty OP. I hope they don't over rely on it.
-There's a lot of Engrish in this manga ("deep saver," "wake up combination"). I wonder if the random "cool" English in manga motivates kids to learn at all...
Ch. 14
-This chapter was basically all gags and no tags. Just as useless as the Starmon episode in the anime!
-New digivice ability: it can scan books and then upload that info to your partner's brain. Again...kinda OP. Of course, they nerfed it by making Taichi's doodles cause trouble, so I guess it's fine.
Ch. 15
-Edgy rival guy appears! He kinda looks like a discount Killua. He doesn't appear to be brainwashed like Ken? Who knows though...
-TWO digivices!?
No but really, what's the point in having two? That's stupid.
-Another OP power added to Taichi's digivice: It can unlock any electronic lock
-So Etemonkey was wholesome all along!? :'( poor guy. Rival dude said his lifespan is like 120 hours!? Geez I didn't know we were going by game logic THAT much.
-Wow, Jogress evolution! I'm glad I'm reading this after Digimon Adventure 02 or else I might be confused by some of the stuff they're throwing at me with zero explanation.
-Rival guy's name is...Neo Saiba. How am I supposed to take that seriously? Makes me think of Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!
Ch. 16
-Well that got dark pretty quick. Neo sacrifices a Metal Greymon for the sake of collecting data. The fact that the Metal Greymon's only reason for existing was to prove himself to Neo was really sad. RIP.
-So I realize that "Neo Saiba" isn't a first name but a first and last name lol, Idk why I thought otherwise. I guess I'm just so used to hearing digimon with two names at this point.
-Another digivice ability. Apparently you can use it to straight up kill a digimon? (Or "delete," as they worded it). I wonder if it's a real kill or if MetalGreymon gets to turn back into a digi-egg...
Ch. 17
-This chapter got a little violent with Zero bleeding from the nose and mouth and then ripping off Skull Satamon's arms. I bet if you were an 8 year old reading this that would be really intense!
-Apparently anger can give digimon a power boost. I wonder if other emotions have any effect?
-The official release actually ends here for volume 2 which seems weird, but it's because there's a huge chunk of omake materials at the end including C'mon Digimon! I've been reading the scanlations, but I think I'll have to buy the real deal to get that sweet bonus content.
