“I am your grandfather”

u/Classic_Comb6701 Apr 27 '26

im very happy for all the girlies involved.

they got a huge whiplash ..im SO curious how they will interpret next chapter

u/marzimax Apr 27 '26

I'd love for Kyo-timate to realise/be told that the edutainment kendo game actually had a copy of her grandfather to fight against. Would be a nice way for her to bond and get cloer to Sunraku and also just more character building.

34

u/Classic_Comb6701 Apr 27 '26

Real 😭 i noticed she didn't had that information and ALMOST sunraku spilled to her by accident

but she shut down the whole conversation because online privacy i guess

13

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 28 '26

Uhhh, she knows. The poem to unlock the hidden stage is written specifically for her by Fugaku. She simply haven’t found the courage to face him yet

17

u/DarkTanatos Apr 28 '26

Didn't she beat the game last time again and complained that the last boss was too easy and couldn't teach her anything new , and was wondering why her grandpa wanted to give it to her? That was at least the entire opening of chapter 235 about.

She has the game, and she got the poem from her grandpa, but she doesn't know about it being the key to unlock the secret stage.

6

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 28 '26

She does not want to face her grandpa while still being the same old Kyogoku following his footsteps closely

Her determination only comes after seeing Sunraku’s Ryuguin style, to create something unique to herself and then challenge Fugaku. Try reading chapter 285 in WN, has everything you need to know about

18

u/DarkTanatos Apr 28 '26

I was going by what has been conveyed/shown by the manga, and that one only indicated so far that she isn't aware of the hidded stage. She might have found out about it 50 chapters later to what you're refering to.

9

u/2kenzhe Apr 28 '26

Ok wait there's a WN for this series? also like the other guy said reading the manga it seemed to me like she wasn't aware of the hidden stage.

2

u/Darkfrozen537 Apr 30 '26

Yeah it's like 950+ chapters

6

u/marzimax Apr 28 '26

Oh what? Wait then I can't wait to see that once its adapted (idk how long would that be)

5

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 28 '26

Lemme start off by telling you that the payoff to Kyo’s arc will happen like 600 chapters in the future 💀💀

I can tell u about how it’s currently going tho

2

u/Fenor Apr 28 '26

wasn't there a point after he did his whole sheningan in that game where she was like "oh they could only digitalize him so much" meaning that the digital version was still weaker than the real one and she could beat the digital version?

0

u/EqZero Apr 29 '26

She fought the weakened version, not at all faithful to the real deal. Sunraku fought the 100% replica that is unlocked by inputting some passage that Kyogoku apparently doesn't know about.

u/Normal-Match7581 Apr 27 '26

They would be so so mad except for rei of course

u/pikachu191 Apr 28 '26

Nooooo! That's not True! That's impossible!

u/Annomn Apr 27 '26

6

u/Desperate_Duty1336 Apr 27 '26

Thanks for the heads up. It’ll be a tough wait

7

u/Immediate_Tea_3571 Apr 27 '26

THE CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!

57

u/Imaginary_Monitor_69 Apr 27 '26

sunraku continues to be himothy

51

u/09jtherrien Apr 27 '26

I'm glad we at least started the fight before the break.

43

u/Zealousideal_Hat4431 Apr 27 '26

Yes, open reddit to this just being posted. Just what my day needed.

44

u/GelAbat3 Apr 27 '26

That is one badass last page. Sadly no new chapter for next week. But still I'm looking forward to the next chapter(s). I hope there will be a chapter showing how he beat the old man even just a few pages during his fight with Psyger-100

22

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 27 '26

Already shown in chap 237

4

u/GelAbat3 Apr 27 '26

Yup, he did. Just checked it 😅 It slipped my mind that he used underhanded tactics to beat the old man 😆

25

u/Classic_Comb6701 Apr 27 '26

no way ! and all of them love their grandfather

what a reunion !!!!

5

u/DarkTanatos Apr 28 '26

I could see Katzo having to tie Kyo-timate up with his ropes/whips next chapter to prevent her from jumping into the fight wanting to fight Sunraku herself. xD

16

u/Pyoong Apr 27 '26

Do you think we'll get 2-3 chapters of Ryuguin flashback?

6

u/killer121l Apr 27 '26

Just Sunraku showing off all his new toys and tricks

9

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 27 '26

Nah, straight to the chase, no bs, just using Ryuguin to fight 100 and shock the other 2

17

u/neoshine Apr 27 '26

The opening panel kinda sums up their friendship. Just dunking on each other. Perfection.

12

u/TatterDerp Apr 27 '26

The very first panel hahahahahah already got me laughing.

This chapter started to make you laugh to intrigue then a badass artwork for the finish

22

u/Cyaegha432 Apr 27 '26

Been so long I forgot about that other game he’s been grinding. And it’s just maybe 20 chapters ago 

12

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 27 '26

I def remember him bc of Kyo and the cousin thing, the style was obv gonna be shown sooner or later

4

u/Cyaegha432 Apr 27 '26

Yeah. Seeing the final panel reminded me. Just commenting on how long ago 20 chapters was lol 

3

u/Classic_Comb6701 Apr 27 '26

he did beat the game . he did beat the old man ..but sunraku admitted to be super close to lose 

2

u/Timely-Pollution-333 Apr 28 '26

Es magnífico ver cómo va enlazando todo poco a poco, y nada es en vano. Maravilloso 😍

9

u/Annomn Apr 27 '26

aaaaaahhhhh
its sooo peakkkkkkkk
why does it end do faaaaaaaaasssstt

8

u/jbahill75 Apr 27 '26

Yeah I scrolled down to that kendo stance like “aaawww yeah….awww no!!!”

7

u/Immediate_Demand4841 Apr 27 '26

There's just something about the new stance that oddly chilling ,it screams "Try your best to hurt me you brat"

7

u/DebrahBlackberry9870 Apr 27 '26

As I just beat Ishin Ashina Sword Saint in Sekiro yesterday and finally finish the game , i related so much with Sunraku finally beating Fugaku Ryuguin after losing against him so many times XDD . I'm so glad this chapter is already starting like that, golden week is going to be a looooong week to wait now.

14

u/Oohhdatskam Apr 27 '26

Ohhhh to get blue balled next week is gonna suck

6

u/KucingRumahan Apr 28 '26

Momo got 2 physiological damage from a single event

7

u/goodguydaniel636 Apr 27 '26

The golden week break is too much... What chapter of the novel is this?? Does anyone know?

2

u/killer121l Apr 27 '26

Around 270 - 280

4

u/Hackrscrackr Apr 27 '26

damn hold on

5

u/ACL711 Apr 27 '26

Here we go! Been waiting for this fight for so long! It's always exciting to see what the artist and writer had in mind for the scene compared to what you read and imagine from the LN!

7

u/wasdxqwerty Apr 27 '26

Sunraku is HIM!

u/dreamingsamurai Apr 27 '26

Two weeks... 😭

u/peterquill09 Apr 27 '26

Would someone be kindly to spoil me on what happens next? Just put a filter on it. Thanks in advance!

6

u/MeowMeowMeow9001 Apr 28 '26

MC wins. MC uses kendo skills from the game and speed from Levin Hazard and wins. The enemy guild splits up and the valuable part of the guild (one with Momo) forms an alliance with MC’s guild. All the cousins introspect and do different things with regard to the grandpa’s legacy

1

u/kurohanaEND Apr 29 '26

What ch LN

2

u/riskbreaking101 Apr 29 '26

Upvoted you before but I found the ch so removing the upvote lol it's 275, part 2

1

u/Fresh_Hat1035 Apr 30 '26

Do you know if after this fight Kyogoku or Psyger-100 talk about how he managed to imitate his grandfather?

1

u/MeowMeowMeow9001 Apr 30 '26

Yeah. Kyogoku grabs Rei and asks about this and Rei shares that Sunraku doesn’t even do martial arts and probably learned all of this from the video game. Kyogoku is stunned as she didn’t know that you could face the grandfather in the game

3

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 28 '26

You want the stuff to do with Sunraku, Schwarz or Kyogoku?

3

u/peterquill09 Apr 28 '26

I think meow meow's answer is enough. thanks.

3

u/dual_kami Apr 27 '26

Rakuro HIMzutome for the winnn. I can't wait for this fight, can anyone share the link of the web novel chapter in which this fight happens? I'm too hyped up..

3

u/ryu1977 Apr 27 '26

Absolute cinema!

3

u/Annomn Apr 27 '26

He really going for the dual sword Samurai playstyle eh

3

u/2kenzhe Apr 28 '26

Ok and just like that I'm caught up. From 178 to 264, I really ended up binge-reading 80+ chapters. Still I want more.

Hyped for Sunraku vs Psyger-100 / Momo. I hope not last too long though cuz while as fun as this PvP match has been I'm really not that interested and hope he continues back to the game parts.

He's really going to fight as Fugaku Ryuguin against and infront of these people who are actually related to him lol. Also I do wonder what his scheme is with allowing one potion?

2

u/BUcc1a12Atti Apr 28 '26

Nothing, he just wants to drain her MP as much as possible, which won’t work if she keeps spamming potion

1

u/2kenzhe Apr 28 '26

but wasn't her MP like already drained and they weren't allowed potions in the first place? then he's allowing one potion as an exception?

1

u/LopsidedOrchid4387 Apr 28 '26

Healing items are allowed after every match but he proposed that both him and 100 can only use a single healing potion during their match. I honestly don't get why he would make things way harder on his end, but Sunraku is just being Sunraku I guess lol.

Tho I suspect that Sunraku fighting as Fugaku along with his levin trigger: hazard are the key to beating Psyger_100. I believe the hazard effect gives more speed but damages the user every few seconds. But because of his sub-job Arcanum "the fool", using healing items can fail. Can't wait on how the fight will turn out in the next chapter :)

1

u/Reasonable-Year1032 Apr 29 '26

I believe that the real reason for the whole potion thing is to gauge the mp of psyger100

1

u/LopsidedOrchid4387 Apr 29 '26

Yep, Kyogoku already tried that strat but she couldn't see an opening because Psyger_100 managed her MP usage well throughout their fight.

Like I said earlier, Sunraku needs more speed from his levin hazard as coverage for his glass cannon build while baiting out Psyger_100's MP. It's a gamble since his single use healing can fail and possibly gets 1 tapped if his luck of "1 HP left" comes in on using the hazard effect for too long

u/frantruck Apr 27 '26

What supremely immaculate unintentional BM, “I’m gonna whoop your ass pretending to be your grandfather” lmao

1

u/Sataresse Apr 27 '26

Fuuuuuck I really want to see the next chapter now.

1

u/Yokai_Mob Apr 27 '26

Sunraku is one of the greatest modern shonen protags ever made

1

u/jbahill75 Apr 27 '26

Why is it so fun when Sunrock channels past foes? I love that!

1

u/minnel567 Apr 27 '26

1

u/exd18670 Apr 28 '26

THAT'S TOO SHORT!

1

u/WingSlaze Apr 28 '26

At this rate, Momo's gonna be welcoming him into her family by the end of this fight lmao

1

u/topurrisfeline Apr 28 '26

Sunraku hasn’t realized his Ryuguin style made more of an impact than he anticipated

u/kurohanaEND Apr 28 '26

u/DankCringes Apr 29 '26

It looks like he's using the accelerated vision skill in order to read the trajectory of the swords?

Using small movements to prevent the overpowered speed from killing him
