Was he a good villain?
Hakumen
I thought Hakumen was pretty well-written for a guy trapped in a bubble for most of the show. He was present enough through proxies that you could feel his presence and gave off a pretty great aura when he finally showed up.
UtT was still a bit of a slog after a while.
Yes
wasn't hakumen a she?
>he just wanted friends all along!
Awful shoneshit villain.
no, she wanted to be born in the light, she was surrounded by darkness
Not a complex tier of villain, but entertaining, cruel and scary enough to be remembered. It's design was terrific (both as amazing and scary whise) and it's powers made it way more interesting that simply being " white kurama" but edgy
I think akumen was an IT. No actual gender even if it's voice was female.
it was, except for that one time we see them in their human form, but the gender pronoun helps moving the conversation better
i was mad inugami-gf got cut. its been so long i cant even remember her name.
Shapesfiting is a thing (mostly common for the nine tailed foxes in nips colture), so it can easily change itself in any kind of fake human it want (it chosen to look as a woman because, as a concubine, it was easier subjocate/kill the lord)
>Shapesfiting is a thing (mostly common for the nine tailed foxes in nips colture),
true but they usually shapeshift into the sex they identify with
>(it chosen to look as a woman because, as a concubine, it was easier subjocate/kill the lord)
I don't remember her goal was killing the lord but something she did because she couldn't find what she was looking for?
Yes, specially vid related
>youtube.com
ok nevermind
>He
I like the trollface it's got there
sstill sends shivers down my spine.
Anyone going to do a Ushio and Tora storytime?
Hakumen is basically in permanent troll face, glee or absoltupy livid. Or all three at once
?
Absolutely.
>He was so angry he became a spear
Shit was so fucking cash. My brother and I were losing our shit.
I feel bad for the mangaka. All of his anime are rushed to all hell.
Hayashibara should get more roles, but she's been making bank off of Pokemon.
When all of the manga was dumped on here before this aired was some of the most fun I've had on here, and especially that one chapter where everyone forgets Ushio That genuinely made me tear up
Someone did before the anime aired
The Karakuri Circus anime was such a fucking travesty
Hakumen no Mono is easily one of the best force of nature villains in manga. Everything about it is so sinister and well done.
This one? It doesn’t like he did the whole series
desuarchive.org
Agreed
No he certainly did all of it,
Vol 10: archive.moe
The archive is incomplete I suppose, but he did post 31 volumes in 31 days like he said he would, and then he did Saint Seiya which was great
Hakumen was doing a lot of shit through proxies so it was never really locked up for good.
Didn't Tora parry Hakumen's fire blast with his own fire blast in the manga since this Hakumen was smaller and weaker?
It was better than the manga, garbage slow pacing that takes volumes fo one thing.
