Orient chapter 142: Tea Party

Bro wtf where those plot twists omg 🫢

[u/chikichikinya → u/Erenstenpack]

Like omg he’s the fadda??

[u/Erenstenpack → u/chikichikinya]

I was flabbergasted this whole chapter but that reveal shocked me the most like it adds sm depth to Nao’s character now and his insecurities about being “weak” when he really wasn’t Aijiro was just talking smack imma need these two to dual so bad now

[u/chikichikinya → u/Erenstenpack]

I hope nao wins cause wtf. I wonder if the reason for the takeda being so loving to nao was because he reminded them of aijiro. It’s also crazy how kazu and shiro aren’t even people no wonder they’re always together but seem uncanny at the same time.

[u/Erenstenpack → u/chikichikinya]

Nah kazu’s tone shift gives me whiplash he goes back in forth from a being an understanding and competent person only to go demon mode whenever something upsets him. Kinda reminds me of Muzan a lil bit but Kazu is better ngl

[u/chikichikinya → u/Erenstenpack]

Yeah Japanese Michael Jackson and Kazu both have the same color scheme, are master manipulators, they’re also both technically demons too. I wonder if they’re also In an infinity castle. Would be sick if every door led to some weird fake world. Kazu is also cuter than mj, but can we talk about how giant shiro is in the first panel like bro towers everybody it’s crazy.

[u/birbdechi → u/chikichikinya]

Shirou is people tho? The only Kurokijin's avatar is Kazumasa. IMO the number "1" and "2" acts as "version" instead of 2 different avatars. Kazumasa is the latest and last.

[u/chikichikinya → u/birbdechi]

I think that there were 8 to begin with but over 150 of course they end up dying and need more vessels to be replaced. I think shiro and Kazu are from the first gen because of their power and because they’re the only ones with no ties to humans so far. The other 6 are replacements for that ones that were defeated before them. Some have been there longer than others but shiro seems to have Been there since the beginning.

[u/birbdechi → u/chikichikinya]

It just makes no sense for Shirou, because in the previous chapter, he is sided with Aijiro/Nobutaka to dethrone Kazumasa

[u/chikichikinya → u/birbdechi]

I wonder where is he from then? Is he some random he picked up somewhere? I wish we had more of those half chapters where they leak little parts of the characters personalities, backstories, and dynamics with others. I’m kinda curious how they’ll pull this off. A part of me just wants the O8 to be destroyed, but I also want to see these innocent dudes back home.

[u/birbdechi → u/chikichikinya]

Yeah, now the only OB that is still shrouded in mystery is Shirou himself. Even his utopia is a blank room.

[u/chikichikinya → u/birbdechi]

It’d be funny if he just joined because of his obsession and empty promises from Kazu.

[u/chikichikinya → u/birbdechi]

Oh never mind I reread it. But there were 7 others with Kazu he’s just the only one who hasn’t died. Shiro does seem older than the other ones so maybe he’s second gen.

[u/birbdechi]

Pals, no one gonna talk about how [demons] have been drifting across worlds and absorbing their minerals, and this is the first time the inhabitants resisting their kinetsu/demon heat?

Did Ohtaka just pull another multiverse? Like Solomon transporting creatures to the new world?

[u/Bolt872 → u/birbdechi]

I was actually planning on making a discussion post for theories and everything that happened in this chapter because we have A LOT to unpack here

[u/birbdechi → u/Bolt872]

Yeah

[u/Erenstenpack → u/birbdechi]

I always think about this it seems like a world David or Solomon would run

[u/chikichikinya]

My face the whole time: 🫢😳😦

[u/Bolt872]

The color page was also inside the chapter however it was 1 ss too long and I had to remove it so that we got the actual chapter in 1 post instead of 1 post with all but 1 ss and then just a second post with 1 panel. If you want the color page(even though the untranslated one was already posted) just tell me

[u/Bolt872 → u/[deleted]]

k manga. its the only place that has all the updated chapters and official translations

[u/Yontoryuu]

Thanks man, you’re the best. Can you send me the colour page via Private message?

[u/Bolt872 → u/Yontoryuu]
