HSDK Battle 498 Released

It's a good chapter the best part was when Ukita saw Shiratori.

Fanservice. Fanservice everywhere.

Rimi's face at the end was scary.

Rimi's face at the end was scary.

I know right Rimi's face was scary but loved the fanservice though.

MangaPanda's translation felt off. And they left stuff blank.


Looks like Takeda is going to have a slight power up for his rematch with Lugh. I guess other than that, this chapter was just fanservice. But, I suppose that was ok. Next chapter is going to have even more, especially if Miu and Rimi fight at the amusement park. Last time that happened, Miu lost her top. :U

Quite a development that Apachai knows how to do laundry now. lol

So, Rimi vs. Miu is happening at an amusement park...where they can get all wet. And everyone from the Shinpaku Alliance will be fighting in swimsuits?

That doesn't seem right. My guess is that they're here to issue an official challenge or something.

I don't know about that.

Considering what Rimi said, I'm not so sure if it's just to issue a challenge.

Definitely going to have to consult another translation for this one cause it really seems like a couple of chapters between major fights between the SA and Yomi isn't enough.

Alright I'm out of class so I can comment on this now.

First of all, I'm surprised at how quickly this all happened. Last chapter Yomi is talking about killing the SA and next chapter here they are about to attack. All of the SA are in there swimsuits, and all the girls are in bikinis. So these crazy people are here to kill them and the girls are hardly wearing any clothes...gee, I wonder where this is going? The fanservice really needs to have a limit. I strongly feel that it's beginning to seriously take away from the story. I mean the whole concept of having Yomi attack at an amusement park seems to only be driven by the fact that Matsuena gets to draw all the girls half naked. This just isn't right.

Now we know that Miu sensed Yomi. So I think (and am hoping) that she will do some kind of evasive action and prevent this terribly set up fight from happening. Please. I have absolutely zero expectations of a fight in bikinis and this really should've been the set up for a brilliant fight since all of Yomi is coming out. Matsuena better twist this into a joke or something. If Yomi attacks then I will be upset with the state of the manga especially if clothes start coming off. There are limits to fanservice and there's a point at which it starts interfering with the plot. We're almost at that point.

While I'm ranting, allow me to vent my frustration with Mangapanda. Now, I'm grateful that they get the chapter out so quickly and, frankly speaking, they do quite a good cleaning job. The watermarks were one thing, but I got around to ignoring those, and the mistranslations weren't the end of the world since we could compare to Mangastream later on, but missing entire speech bubbles? Just ugh. What am I supposed to say? Without them we won't get HSDK every friday, but they're just hacking it up so badly and we go into these chapters getting the wrong meaning half the time.

That is so true I can agree with you wholeheartedly on this.

I said like three different things. Which one are you agreeing with?

I'm expecting Yomi to go play in the pool. This IS way too quickly for a showdown.

All three.

It's kind of sad that in any other manga, the enemy attacking while the good guys are enjoying themselves in their swimsuits at the amusement part would be completely ok, but everyone knows it spells out extreme fanservice disaster for HSDK.

I wouldn't have any problems with this, but this story is moving too fast. If this was happening 3 or 4 chapters down the road, I don't think any of us would have as much of a problem with it.

Can't survive with them, can't live without them. :\

I was glad to see Renka again.

chapter was pretty funny.
is it weird that i feel like next week's chapter is going to be Yomi VS Shinpaku minigame collection.
Humilate them then kill them?
i guess i'm weird that way..

What do you mean by "minigame collection"?

Hm, I dunno about this chapter, I do agree that the fanservice is getting out of hand and when they said amusement park I was thinking "oh cool, there's going to be a fight in a carnival setting" but alas, no. I do hope this isn't the big fight of yomi vs Shinpaku, it's too soon and too crowded of an area. I also agree with what Rimi said and I hope there is more to all of this.

Also, did they say if this is the day after lugh fought Takeda? if so, then there has been no time for preparation. Maybe Yomi (and I am guessing here) does attack and beats up everyone embarrasing them as a group which in return would cause Shinpaku to seek out unique ways to become stronger (TRAINING ARC).

I thought Amusement Park meant something like State Fair. It would have been cooler to see a fight on the Ferris Wheel....

And I'd doubt they're there to just issue a warning. Why bring the whole assassin team then?

I don't know if it was the day after. I think it's a couple days after.

Regardless, it was the chapter after which is a lot faster than hsdk usually is with these things.

I don't know if it was the day after. I think it's a couple days after.

It looks like it's been a couple of days since Niijima knows that there will be a battle with YOMI.

I wonder if they'll kidnap nijima first.

According to Takeda's conversation with Shiba the amusement park trip was the next day. Don't know when this is in regards to their meeting with Lugh.

Had to had have been at least two day.

The fight with Lugh was at night. It would be logical that Takeda would speak with Shiba about it the next day so they could train more. Then the day after, they're at the amusement park.

The fight with Lugh was at night; Tanaka visited Ryozanpaku during the next day; Mikumo and Ogata gathered the YOMI disciples together at night; and this chapter took place during the day.

Ah yes good point lol.
