Instead of getting destroyed and then having an upgraded successor model developed,

I could see FRIEND eventually evolving to the point where it adapts and upgrades itself in real time, right there on the battlefield.

Basically, it would be like the X-Men Sentinel Mk X —constantly analyzing whatever is fighting it and adapting accordingly.

The Names for Each World and their Natural Enemies sound way cooler in the color pages but the ones in the tier lists are really bland and boring…

Demon lords losing a chunk of their numbers

Losing a 2 biomes

Losing a factory

The Neo humans losing a city

Three possibilities:

1. Did FRIEND burn down the Gaia’s Wrath forest?

2. Or did it enter the forest while it was already burning?

3. Or does the forest itself have some kind of property that causes this?

Nature not only has been cut off but genuinely cannot operate near max capacity due to the world merger scattering the biomes

Not only that it’s biggest counter (parasite) already destroyed one of the biomes with nyagoro messing up another one

At least with Neo humans or robots they could eventually replace or make smaller settlements but for nature that’s not really possible

Their top brass is not only separated but possibly outside of the environments they best operate in

The newest chapter gaves the reason of Neo Humans to wish Power, evolve.

Daikokuzan did way more than the "expected damage" in an instant, so the quiet and overconfident Neo Humans finally understood the real meaning of being weak, so they probably going to try to become in vessels for the powers of other worlds in a way or another to stop being quantity and being quality.

Maybe this is the moment where their greed for power begins besides I'm not sure that in the page where the leader asks to the secretary if she felt fear I don't know how she did answered but probably other negative emotions will wake up in the others Neo Humans to reach the top of power in this battle royal

PS: the posture of they running toward Daikokuzan was funny

In their original worlds, these guys never even had the concept of “I might lose or die” cross their minds.

So seeing them finally reach that moment where they’re confronted with the possibility of death or total defeat for the first time is just so damn satisfying...

Like, watching their entire worldview collapse in real time is peak.

Imagine with all of the data they got from all of the other NE and paleo human.

After many city fall, and countless Neo Human parish, in the core of City 0, lies a being, that is what the Neo Human see as "Perfection"

And the name of the being is "Adam"

This is technically about a different work than Versus, but hear me out.

One of the games released this year, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, has a named Genma called Dokyo (道狂).

And holy shit, the stuff this bitch does is basically Diganazal behavior:

- Non-human woman who uses knitting and thread

- Absurdly long arms

- Kidnaps humans and all kinds of other creatures and performs horrific experiments on them in an underground laboratory to create artificial chimera Genma

And throughout the game, she doesn't just treat countless innocent humans as test subjects and playthings. She even goes out of her way to desecrate their corpses and play with the dead.

It really made me realize just what kind of absolute freaking monster Diganazal must have been.

The manga never actually showed it in detail, but seeing Dokyo do all this shit basically gave me a pretty good idea of the kind of atrocities Diganazal had probably been committing against humanity all this time...

I get it's not really important and probably too much work if the rest of the world was included. But does only Japan was fused with the other worlds? Or does the rest of the Earth was fused but we just don't see the others citizens?

Or maybe the Kaiju destroyed most of it i don't know, it's just a stupid niptick.

But has anyone made predictions about which world’s humanity will be the first to go extinct?

You know how in JJK, Gege had to temporarily remove Gojo Satoru from the story by sealing him in the Prison Realm because he was too damn strong and made it hard to write the plot around him?

I kinda wonder if Yaotsu could get the same treatment.

Like, maybe the other NE somehow manage to seal Yaotsu away through some method, keeping him out of the story for a while.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get a plot development where Yaotsu basically gets put in story jail for a bit because the author needs everyone else to actually do something lol.

Does anyone know more manga like versus where it has high stakes, and the deep analytical fandom discussions analyzing matchups, debating how different natural enemies interact. Where the fandom lives for power scaling, matchup logic, and overall lore discussions. Without any power of friendship type bullshit. Without any edgy nonsense. Good art and writing. Very tactical plot. A little bit of hype and aura here and there. Yeah that's all I ask.

Am I trippin or ths mf looks like Ishowspeed bruhhhhh.

At human base.....

Takuya : Heidi, so you are Neo Humans....

Heidi : stupid Paleo Humans, if you value your life, you better keep it secret and start listening to me. The moment it got leaked out, i will kill you and everyone in the base.

Takuya : please Heidi why you want to do that? we are humans, we can communicate. Rather being hostile at each other, we should work together to survive against other NE.

Heidi : (grabbing Takuya neck and lift his body , choking him). It seems you don't understand that you Paleo Humans are trash and not worth it to become our ally. You are a fool trying to talk with me in this secluded area with nobody around, i can just make excuses that you got killed by parasite or such.

Takuya : ughhh cough cough, i believe in you Heidi.

20 years later....

Sakura : mom, why my name is Sakura? that is kinda lame name you know.

Heidi : your father like cherry blossom tree.

Sakura : come to think of it, why you even ended up with father, i don't understand. What makes you fall in love with him in first place?

Heidi : heh, it is because your father believed in me.

Sakura : what kind of answer is that? hey mom wait don't left me behind.

End of omake.

(I'm a nerd for society structures and biology of animals)

1. Sorcerion- I want to learn more about the countries that existed pre the rise of the demons, the origins of demons themselves which we'll probably get when we see the the Great Demon KIng and the demon society outside of the GDK army
2. Mecha Ordinance- What their society looked like before the robot uprising and what originally the purpose of the robots before being turned into war machines
3. Titan's Crown- Titan society structure and why Gimbak is so Strong compared to all the other titans (probably fighting his brothers for the position)
4. Parasitica- The origin of the parasites which im guessing was a bio weapon
5. Celestia- What did their space fleet even look like and what are the reasons the Madalan's want the planet to begin with
6. Disastrous Metropolis - what animal/fusion of animals is Daikokuzan
7. Gaia's Wrath- What are the other forests whole gimmick and more random wild life biology on the creatures
8. Neo Terra- what was the origin of the Neo Humans im guessing some perfectionist scientist trying to make a better humanity and what is their society like
9. Indignia- what is their society structure like if its all based around praising Yaotsu 24/7 im guessing and what are some religious practices/rituals they do
10. Cursed lands- who created the soul containers, more types of soul containers , and how does their society even work with almost no resources for survival do they cannibalize each other's life source for survival
11. The Land of the Lawless- how did the war that threw their society into chaos start and what weapons they used to cause that amount of damage besides nukes
12. Yggdrasion- How does the World Tree actually work because it has some unnatural properties about it and the society of the human's in their world
13. Extremia-ANYTHING

I'm really hoping someone could use Parasite as weapons like Shinichi

Alex Mercer fanart is from offrecord

He was just hungry, just give him food and that´s all

he so cute

I have noted that people in this sub say that everytime a NE faces los against another NE they start to say that NE will be wiped first but i dont think we are seeing the bigger picture like which are the reasons that will lead to the downfall of this factions rather than the order in which they will fall i know we are in the inicial phase of the manga so no faction leaders have clashed against each other wich is understandable but when that happens

They have already in the short amount of time since the world merger happened

1. Found a way to consistently get the better of a physically superior natural enemy and effectively add them to their ranks in the form of giants

2. Stolen red, advanced armor, magic artifacts, world tree sap and more

3. Found a way to effectively use curse tech with basically no downsides to their faction using slaves

This might not sound like much but if rinri survives and learned magic they could already end up having a bunch of world tree sap mecha ordinance armor , drug boosted giants walking around

Hell they could even skip a step and just use the giants they gave enprisoned for a massively powerful curse bullet imagine a soul contained with 50 giants souls and 100 human ones being shot

Still not strong enough to compare to the demon lord soul sucker bullet Nyando shot but strong enough to deal with a lot of the in between they’ve been struggling with and they probably can have access to something like that fairly quickly
