#manga #bladeoftheimmortal
what have y'all been reading?
The invincible comic
7th garden
slam dunk
I am a hero
Golden Kamuy, i think you would like it
A big mangatuber talking about blade of the immortal! the day has finally come
I'm pretty sure he talked about this before
@@realXVI. I was referring to a full video on the series rather than just a mention in some list
Been waiting for this for YEARS! This manga is 🤌
0:48 Actually that is the swastika symbol used in both Hindu and Buddhism as a symbol of fortune or happiness
Indo-European symbol at its core, was used everywhere in Europe before H1tler bastardized it
Don't wanna argue but it's prolly from India considering it has roots with the oldest religion
There is a difference between sawastika and H1tlers Symbol 😂 check it Búm
Here in India it is still widely used, if there is a celebration or festival or you have bought something important like a home or an office building. Anything that symbolizes positivity for you and you wanna bring blessing of good fortune, well being and positivity with it, this symbol will be used!
@@nomlenop Its not "technically" from india but from the nomads of Central/Western steppe that form the root of Indo-European history
Blade of the Immortal, what an incredible story. Not only phenomenal art but an incredible cast, Kagehisa is one of the most underrated antagonists in all of animanga
Such an AMAZING character
What about hal bro
@@killerdroid99do you mean kiruma souichi ?
@@GhadaWalaonely yes
Facts
The Japanese name for the symbol is Manji , yes the main character is walking around with his name on his back.
In India it is swastika
It's crazy to fimally see a big TH-camr talking about this manga, it's SO good but for some reason SO unpopular at the same time
It _might_ have something to do with the big swastika on the main guys back, unfortunately.
Funny enough I was enjoying the sequel even more, it takes place 90 years after during the Bakkumatsu period.
Unfortunately there are no more translated chapters. I hope it gets more recognition and we get the english release since it's ending this month with 10 volumes total.
Wait let him cook
One of the biggest inspirations for Naruto
Is that confirmed? Now that you mention it the art in Naruto's early chapters is extremely reminiscent of BOTI's art style
@@idk-vr3fs Back In the old days this was common lore haha! Look it up. There’s a picture of art where Kishimoto drew BOTI characters and you can see where the design for Itachi was inspired.
Samura and Kishi even have an interview, you know the way a younger mangaka is excited to talk to his idol? It was just like that! Samura drew the Naruto characters as well!
@@Jay_SGE I just read the interview and everything makes sense now lol, Iruka's design being inspired by Manji, Kakashi's by Magatsu, and Anotsu looks almost exactly like Itachi in that drawing Kishimoto did, I also just now realized that Sasuke and Itachi's whole dynamic and theme of revenge is inspired by Rin and Anotsu, there's probably many other parallels but it's quite interesting to see nonetheless, ty for the info
@@idk-vr3fs sharing that info with you made my day. So Thank you!
If you liked "blade of immortal" try "Kozure ookami"
The GOAT ,Lone Wolf and Cub is great but it’s great in a different way from blade of the immortal ,Lone Wolf and Cub is way more historically accurate for obv reasons ,one is grounded and the other is not ,you get what I mean
@@mohammedsuliman8072 yeah yeah i know bro
I just wanted to give a reccomendation
@@danishhalder4895 oh ok then ,both are great manga either way
The swastik symbol actually originated from Hinduism
Day 2 of asking the masked man to talk about the tax reaper
Great video. One of the best, keep this pace up 🚀
I never finished this series- it’s genuinely fantastic!!
Thanks for the reminder! 👍
Shit, and I thought I was finally gonna read 20th century boys.
It’s an ok book at best. Fantastic art though.
King is back ❤
Always cooking with these videos
i need to know the backgrownd song ,somebody knows it?
Bro started talking about Blade of the Immortal 5 months after Young Defiant brought it up in one of his live streams. Keep copying his style. You might as well bring up Die Wergelder too😂😂😂
fr, i know this manga from young defiant, he not lying about his taste. all his recommendation manga and anime is great
This is an awesome channel!
That sounds very interesting. Thabks for the recommendation
I've seen the newer adaptation of this manga. It's "GOOD" it jus has a bit of an issue in the fact that it doesn't have enough eps to cover the ENTIRE manga so it truncates a bunch but it's still enjoyable in its own right & the production & directin is incredibly solid the entire way through. If it had more eps it'd be "great" but I'd still say watch it
I thought the one from 5 or 6 years ago was really good but still wanna read the manga
@@SamTheGumMan117 that's cool I felt that way too but I jus want ppl to be aware to maybe not completely toss it aside
Thank God Blade of the Immortal is being republished here in Brazil!
Loving it so far but the Arc in which they "experiment" on Manji seems a bit too stretched and boring in my eyes.
i dropped their
he was in jail getting his limbs torn away for so long that I stopped reading
I thought this was a pretty interesting anime.
please make a video about Sousei No Taiga
Truly a masterpiece, I highly suggest ya'll read the sequel "Blade of the Immortal: Bakumatsu Arc" the only thing I don't like about it is it's too short with the series condensed in to 50+ chapters. It still had the bloody action scenes, great warriors etc. but maan was it short. I hope it gets a sequel with him guarding Rin's relative up to World War 2 or the recent day.
Day 90 for KYARA analysis vid(CUTE VIDEO BTW POOKUMS!!!l❤❤❤❤❤❤❤)
nah i'll finish 20th century boys first
Trust bro, Umineko
baku profile picture recommending peak but honestly every when the cry game should be played cause the visual novels are so good
@@flashgenies dw i like umineko more than usogui
Kagehisa death was the greatest Moment in Manga.
And the Protagonist was the rightful heir of AFRO SAMURAI
Finally, my favorite seinen getting some love. Knew I could count on ya Masked
Before you read any other manga you should read UNDER NINJA
I just want to say how integral your videos have been to the development of my reading comprehension. I became a better reader and writer thanks in large part to anime/manga-based analytical TH-camrs like yourself. Thank you very much for the hard work over the years, this video is especially good 👍👍
I just couldn't read blade of the immortal as i couldn't even understand what was happening 🤲🏾😂😂
I had a friend who was trying to get into manga and the first two series I told him about were this and Akumetsu: two weeks later he told me he can't ask me for recommendations anymore because he binged thru both of them and hadn't gone to class in that entire time lmao
2 minutes ago is crazy
Has anyone watched either anime adaptation? Given the amount of episodes i feel the anime rushes or probably skips big chunks of the manga
Already did
And seen both Adaptations and the live action movie
Is the background assasins creed or something you made?
Pretty sure that the background was Sekiro
I love Blade of the Immortal and I'm glad that you're talking about it because this series definitely needs it. Gotta thank you for also addressing the comparisons with other seinens, especially Vagabond, because I've never understood why they were made in the first place.
P.S : "Big Balls" was still a good fit for a character like Manji.
If you really think about it, Blade of the immortal is the simp version of Vagabond
That is a Vedic symbol of peace that existed way earlier. Not trying to be rude :)
this fking sucks. dropped at 100+ chapters.
the mc loses to everyone and is in pieces everytime
oh so now you think anyone who threatens genocide should be automatically accepted to art school????
Can you do a video on Trigun? I think it deserves some shine. 🙏 Love what you do.
blade of the immortal is a 10/10
Great video ❤
I've had my eyes on this one for a while, guess it's finally time I gave it a try
I love your writing but watching the video it feels like you are just reading a script, I think it would be better if you took time and narrated your ideas so they would leave a bigger impact on the audience ❤
Love your content ❤❤❤
Also love the skiro footage in the background ❤❤❤
I remember being interested in this manga, but then the anime came out, it was bad, I never looked back... unitil today.
Keep in mind that only the american version of Blade (the only one you can find scans for online) is read left to right, almost everywhere else it's right to left
what is the name of the manga at the start of the video with the cards?
You should read webtoon character na kang lim.
I thought blade of immortal was a sung manga. The noise is relatively quiet but I used to hear about it a bit.
Ah, great to see some love for Blade of the Immortal. I read it a few years ago and it has stuck with me since, one of the best manga I have read. Glad to see a big channel shining more light on it. Now if only there was a faithful anime adaptation.
I have the first two deluxe on my shelf still in plastic…overdue for a read! Thanks for the motivation to bump it up my list
Can you check Ad Astra - Scipio and Hannibal, it's such a hidden gem, and considering the popularity of Kingdom, I think many people would love it if they knew about it
really funny how Ad Astra is not much well known. Imo, I think it is leauges above Kingdom. What I hate about Kingdom is Shin's massive plot armor, him beating Sachi with no fatal wounds was such an asspull. And even Him and his group beating full armored soldier while they are unarmored is just another blatant plot armor..
@@gutsglory3625 Another Ad Astra fan? Someone else who has read Ad Astra? What glitch in the matrix is this?
You're not wrong. Ad Astra can't really have plot armour, since it's history illustrated. Also, Kingdom's latest arc barely had any war strategies and tactics, it was just a showcase of military power. I think I like Kingdom more bcs it's longer and I've grown more attached to it, but a friend that I introduced Ad Astra to, also liked it more than Kingdom
Thx for the recommendation bro.
The second anime adaptation was pretty good though. Full disclosure: I never read the manga, so I don't know how faithful it is. ymmv
Same
Not only a Buddhist symbol but also from the Roman Empire wich is where he most likely took it
No lol,this symbol has roots in India
I always wanted to read this but somehow never did.
Literally was just watching the anime of it
damn i wish i could read blade for the first time again
Day 40 of recomending Madoka Magica
Hey, Could you read her summon it is a great story and has great art
Ooooh😊
Damn this crazy, finish Gintama already
thank you for starting to consecrate this manga, few people know about it
The live action movie was also good
You literally can't make me.
Although I own the first volume of Blade of the Immortal and still haven't read it 😔
But have you read My Home Hero??
Bro finally talked about Blade of the Immortal? Such a good series. Doesn't get talked about nearly enough compared to Vagabond imo.
Even the live action movie is awesome
00:41 "the name won't be mentioned" Uhm sorry we are talking about one of my BELOVED series right there 😤
Besides that, the art and paneling look absolutely stunning! I'll give this a go soon
Too late finished 5 years ago 🤡
First
One of the BEST! Shira is one of the best and most despicable villains ever. Manji is such a badass. The whole end half is a hell of a stretch
Hype moments. Great artwork. Excellent atmosphere. Good philosophy. Superb work bros!
Do you ever talk about webtoons? If you ever want to I think Ordeal by Brent Bristol would be a great place to start, just finished its second season and the art, which was already some of the best on WEBTOON imo, keeps getting better. Has quite possibly the most diverse cast of characters I’ve ever seen in a manga or manhwa and the worldbuilding and plot is fantastic as well. I just wish more people would find out about it so we could get an anime. Definitely deserves one
I’ve been reading blade of the immortal for 7 days. I’m on chapter 142…. Absolutely amazing manga. I think in the beginning it’s a bit boring (the first 3-5 chapters), but overtime it gets better and better. Amazing underrated manga
The swastik not only has a religious significance in Japan but in India as well. In Japan it's called the Manji. In India it's the swastik. Buddha himself was a hindu king before becoming a monk and has many deep connections to Hinduism as well. His name was Siddharth Gautam.
This is on my list to read. I’m currently reading levius then will be on levius est. I highly recommend people to read this amazing manga. (Read left to right for this)
Blade Of The Immortal is genuinely amazing, the 2019 anime is pretty great too.
“By a guy who should have just been accepted into Art School” 💀💀💀
Hidetaka miyazaki was inspired by blade of the immortal for making bloodborne blood mechanic
damn i remember when i was like 12 and bought the first volume of blade of the immortal was instantly hooked got all the copies in my collection absolutely one of my favorites
I read this manga immediately after catching up with Berserk back in the day. Spectrum Nexus recommended it. I just wanted another manga with a similar art style. Boy was a pleasantly surprised at how much more I got from this series.
Such a great story, starts off a bit weird but picks up as it goes and doesn't stop, with the climax being one of my favorites in manga
Also, if you're a fan of Sekiro, Miyazaki is also known to be a fan of BotI, and it's interesting to read and spot potential inspirations as you go -- same with Dark Souls/Berserk, etc
Blade of the Immortal was one of the first manga I fell in love with, and it took me forever to eventually finish. Now I’ve read through it 2-3 times. Always a great read.
I feel like the manga Golden Kamuy has many similar elements to it as Blade of the Immortal. You should give it a try, you’ll definitely see what Im talking about
Is that Twilight Princess music in the background? Been years since I heard that soundtrack
The assassin aesthetic I adore but Blade of the Immortal sounds surface level. Cannot put my finger on why.
There is another story that has a compelling cast of characters, where the characters get into a bigger conflict than what they intended to get into, and also deals with themes of morality. It's called Mistborn. Give it a shot Masked :)
Nah im reading d gray man
Do more videos with sekiro backgrounds it reminds me of how much fun I had playing it.
les goooooooooooo finally some spotlight
i have this up to book 7, saving up for the rest. i've seen the anime and what fckd me up the first time was that Tengu Guy with the head of his wife on his shoulder. wtf
My life is complete
Umineko better
I think closest this manga stands for is to stories of author of Basilisk or The Ninja Scroll
You've never read Manga from left to right? HUH???
Huh i actually watched the live action one, didnt even know it was based on a manga! Gotta read it
Day 1 of asking the masked man to read the entire Greek Alphabet.
