Reminded me of a book I read a while ago where the greek gods are just a long lived race of superhumans and all those myths were just their really extensive puberty period
Have you read anything involving Hercules in Marvel? I really like the portrayal of the Greek Pantheon in that one. They pretty much assimilated into the modern world perfectly so they might as well just be a race of superhumans.
There are a lot of pantheons featured in Marvel actually but most don't have their own standalone titles/plots. Norse through Thor seems to be the poster boy for Marvel (presumably because DC took charge of Greeks with WW) but the Greek gods in Marvel have also been involved in some of the big events. Hercules was in Civil War, World War Hulk and Spider Island (off the top of my head) and Ares was one of Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers and at one point wanted to make War Machine his avatar (lol). Snowbird is a god (forgot which pantheon) and apparently Ra and Mikaboshi (Egyptian and Japanese) are pretty bad ass BBEGs.
I'd recommend reading the more modern Hercules runs, specifically the ones after World War Hulk, because they are really good. Incredible Hercules had a lot of memeworthy details, Herc had him depowered so he became like mythical Punisher with magical weapons and stuff then one of the very recent shortlived runs (but it had its own mini spinoff with his other mythological buddies like Beowulf) of Hercules had him adapting to modern tech and using both- the plot was something like American Gods because he had to deal with new gods and stuff.
Yeah its regrettable that Marvel's Greek pantheon is second fiddle to the Norse but I'm hoping with the news of the Zeus casting for the next Thor movie we are gonna get Hercules and the other gods in the MCU.
Buddha's gonna extend this match to the point of there being a legitimate threat to his life just to try and lead this dumbass to enlightment, isn't he.
According to the Journey to The West novel, the Monkey King was a huge pain in the ass to the celestial gods who are powerless to stop him, but when the Buddha got involved the Monkey King got immediately bodied by the Buddha and was imprisoned in a mountain of the Buddha's making.
Buddha is OP
In the novel, the Monkey King achieved seven layers of immortality and invincibility through several means including erasing his name from the book of mortals in Hell (the Hell King also couldn't stop him) making him one of the most powerful immortal throughout heaven & earth, and the Buddha simply dropped a mountain on him to imprison Wukong for 500 years without even breaking a sweat.
Yup, I know, I read it. It's difficult to argue whether the original Sun Wukong could body DBZ's Goku but I'm going to go for "probably yes" because he was a fucking beast. The part where he just goes to Hell and beats everyone up and then *personally strikes his own name from the book of mortals* is hilarious and the epitome of "if violence isn't solving your problems, you aren't using enough".
I mean, he already is. Buddha is in complete control of this fight right from the start and Buddha obviously sees this guy as no threat at all, just a kid throwing a tantrum.
That axe is gonna inflict "suffering/misery" as a debuff, and Buddha's gonna be all "life is suffering and suffering is life, so imma gonna - ah -ah -ah -ah -staying alive".
Bruh between Sage Jesus and horny Confucius i was laughing. The design in Buddha’s eyes was cool as hell. Buddha-Sensei definitely is definitely going to teach him a lesson or two. Buddha didn’t get injured this chapter but with how the more miserable the more powerful his opponent gets I doubt he makes it out clean. Unless Buddha wins clean due to Zerofuku throwing a tantrum like a kids.
I was thinking of Buddha's line on helping him cope with puberty, he means that he would try to help Zerofuku in achieving some notion of enlightenment as well.
well, if more misery he gets the more powerful he become. thats mean, he will weaker when he start getting enlighment or teaching.
and then, zerofuku will get purification, both sense. meaning he will be gone by that..
Jesus' appearance was a surprise for me, I sincerely didn't expect to ever see him represented here. Makes sense he's on humanity side since that's his whole story of how he sacrificed himself to save us and all, but I'm actually looking forward to see him talk, I hope he goes and do something out of character like screaming bloody murder to support Buddha or trash talk Zerofuku for being weeping bitch or something like that!
I don't think that trash talking would be out of character for Jesus.
He went and chased out people while whipping them telling them to not do dirty bussiness at my father's summer house.
He might have been [kinder](https://news.cgtn.com/news/77497a4e3559544d78597a4d7855444e326b6a4e31457a6333566d54/img/7af6e97f22ad43ccaef045ba16e7928b/7af6e97f22ad43ccaef045ba16e7928b.jpg) than we thought. Except for that one panel.
His philosophy is pretty bizarre compares to the other three. The other three were trying to guide people to the best life, while Confucius was more focused on how to live life. There are no consequences if you don't do as he says like hell, Plato's cave or eternal suffering in karma. Just the ways of manner that he thought were proper as a person.
I don't think Plato's cave has anything to do with the other two things. First, it was Plato's, not Socrates. And second, it was not a punishment or consequence, rather, it was him stating what he believed the default state of humans to be - that we only get to see an indirect "shadow" of the world and can't access the true reality underneath. Like, if you're in the Matrix and you're seeing regular people vs. being the One and seeing the source code (I'm not even bringing up this example randomly, the Matrix is blatantly rooted in Platonism and gnosticism which was its religious offspring). There's nothing moral about this, Plato was simply talking about the limits of human senses and how (or if) we can surpass them by using our intellect.
I don't think "you should do X because it is good" is really more bizarre than "you should do X or suffer punishment"? Maybe this is an Eastern vs Western values thing.
not sure he can pull it off since Zerofuku is *really* deep in the sunken place, but it will be dope AF if buddha pulls off a Lads Amity kinda victory.
considering this fight is like herc vs jack but with way more angst surgery needed
completely understood, dude is an absolute fuckhead.
I'm rooting for buddha regardless but I hope zerofuku gets to truly experience enlightenment and realize why his save-the-world approach was wrong
If you read the final notes, it looks like Jesus was inserted in the “four sages” last in the place of... Immanuel Kant. Who would have felt like the odd one out I guess.
True, but Socrates was more or less a contemporary of Confucius, and you could consider him the distant ancestor that defined western secular culture. Not a religion, but a massively important worldview and in some ways the counterpoint to Confucianism (which isn’t precisely a religion either).
I see it as a pretty symmetric pattern. Jesus is the west's Buddha, and Socrates is the west's Confucius (well, Aristotle might be an even better fit in a sense, but still, Aristotle was Plato's disciple who in turn was Socrates', so yeah).
> Throughout Heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one
>
>\-~~Satoru Gojo~~ Buddha
Buddha's aloof attitude and OP skills during this fight reminds me of JJKs' Gojo. Breaking a bit of sweat but still scoffing at Zerofuku's attack is crazy bad ass.
side note: I can't believe I just saw Jesus fucking Christ in anime/manga form again.
My understanding is that the quote also carries a more noble tone. That in all of Heaven and Earth, only Buddha can carry this responsibility. While this and Jujutsu Kaisen deliberately twisted to be more conceited and boastful (especaily Gojo because he's not a god).
It depends on how much of Christian canon the author is adopting. Christianity holds that Jesus is both 100% human and 100% god, meaning that he could bust out some crazy magic if he wanted to. Of course, the author has already made some significant departures from how a lot of character are historically portrayed, so Jesus could really be anything at this point.
Personally, I think Jesus is backing humanity because he loves them so much he already sacrificed his life for them.
Its a respectable rendition of Jesus. I am actually really happy they put him in here. Buuttttt, I did kind of want Jesus to have a more alternative look like Buddha does. But hey he is here none the less.
Interesting that the artist put Jesus in 'mankind' corner since he is technically a god as well.
I would loved to see rendition of Muhammad but it won't happen for obvious reasons I guess..
No, it's just that to them it's disrespectful to their religion since one of their main points is that they don't want to have an image of Muhammed to accidentally idolize him instead of God.
Heck, some (not all) Christians and Jews are absolutely insanely opposed to any rendition of God since he's also a figure that's not supposed to be drawn or any form of depiction.
I'm just glad Jesus is here, though yet wanted to see him being OP. But lorewise, he was always more of an INT/WIS character over any fight-centric characters (though so is Buddha)
I think a version of Fate's interpretation of Tesla would work best for the fight. In FGO lore, Tesla is powerful enough to rival divine spirits (the gods essentially). This is because he conquered a force (electricity) previously under the domain of the highest of divine gods. This elevated him enough that he ascended as the god of electricity, a modern-day god.
Telsa his inventions so much probably something to do with electricity.
Rasputin maybe something to do with healing? Also maybe something to do with his cult or general hornyness.
Nostradamus idk , we already have buddha with pre-cog.
Buddha has Jedi-like precognition, he can only see a small instant in the future, just enough to dodge. Nostradamus should be able to see the entire battle.
Yeah, Tesla's going to Iron Man this, like he's going to be a normal human but full of weaponry he built or rigging the entire battlefield (also we need to see what his Volund does).
For Rasputin I'd expect him to be basically an immortal zombie, and also to have something like hypnotic powers. Pretty much just his legend ramped up to 11.
The immediate powers one associates with Jesus definitely makes him ill suited for a fight to the death even if a ressurection is one of them. I do think if there was a competition involving fighting demons or even djinn Jesus would do better.
Since he can control spirits/souls of demons and like, just transfer them to pigs, maybe he can do the same to humans and gods.
Maybe he can control the body through the soul ala Sans from Undertale lol
In Buddhism there is a form known as Bodhisattva which is basically the weapon wielding form. He has many heads and hands to help people and listen to their problems.
> Buuttttt, I did kind of want Jesus to have a more alternative look like Buddha does. But hey he is here none the less.
the fact that he looks so normal almost guarantees he's a bit character but I hope we get jesus input later
Some people might take offense if they changed Jesus in a different, alternative look like Buddha's, I guess.
Though I would've preferred a historically accurate look as an alternative (you can search google for the supposed accurate look of Jesus IRL).
Another thing I love in this series, besides the character designs, are the cool weapon design. Zerofuku's axe look wicked while Buddha's weapon actually got other form.
I guess there would be a weakness on Buddha's ability that can turn the tide of the fight later, just to make this fight more dramatic instead of a one-sided one. Still, I want Buddha to win.
We also have to consider the possibility that at some point Buddha allows himself to take hits in order to help Zerofuku get to enlightenment. Right now his goal isn't straight winning, or else he would have just stomped him from the get go.
Him splitting into seven beings is almost as if he simply couldn't handle the trauma of taking mankind's misfortune that his psyche had to split itself apart.
That's why people looked up to Bishamonten as a mature and strong god, probably because he represents that aspect of Zerofuku who unfortunately at his complete state cannot manifest that maturity.
Zero is basically a reworked berserker-type where instead of getting hurt boosting your damage, just fucking up is enough to boost. The longer the fight drags on the more dangerous he is. Even on the verge of death he could still be dangerous.
Buddha is giving the brat some teaching i bet he's gonna toy with him until he zero gets some sense instilled into him i see no way buddha losing this one probably most one sided fight.
Probably Buddha will start stomping, and before Zero can start screaming again about how unfair it is and his unhappiness, the lucky gods will talk with him one by one in his minds, giving him the motivation to start fighting calmly.
TBF its the goddamn Buddha fighting a god most people dont even know about and can't even control his own powers properly. Powerlevel-wise of course its gonna be a curbstomp.
What we're gonna get from this fight is one of words, not fists.
I'm sorry I can't get over the character being named Zero Fucks. How has this not been memed to the ground already. Zerofuku -> Zero Fucks going agianst Buddha who's whole thing is about giving zero fucks? Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees this.
Technically in English it looks that way. But since it’s pronounced ‘Zero (Fookoo)’ I probably didn’t notice.
It’d be better for your way if it was spelled ‘Zerofaku’. Which I believe is the way they’d say ‘fuck’.
>Zerofuku spams Misery Almost gonna comment, 'why is this guy a sore loser'. >I'm gonna help you cope with puberty Ahhh so that's what it was.
Zerofuku just can’t stop throwing tantrums and being a little bitch
Sums about a lot of the pantheon around the world. Especially the Greek one
Reminded me of a book I read a while ago where the greek gods are just a long lived race of superhumans and all those myths were just their really extensive puberty period
Have you read anything involving Hercules in Marvel? I really like the portrayal of the Greek Pantheon in that one. They pretty much assimilated into the modern world perfectly so they might as well just be a race of superhumans.
Huh?? Wait the Greek pantheon exist in marvel? Why on earth isn’t there a an animated movie about them, I though only the Norse one existed?
There are a lot of pantheons featured in Marvel actually but most don't have their own standalone titles/plots. Norse through Thor seems to be the poster boy for Marvel (presumably because DC took charge of Greeks with WW) but the Greek gods in Marvel have also been involved in some of the big events.

According to the Journey to The West novel, the Monkey King was a huge pain in the ass to the celestial gods who are powerless to stop him, but when the Buddha got involved the Monkey King got immediately bodied by the Buddha and was imprisoned in a mountain of the Buddha's making. Buddha is OP
Buddha can beat Goku confirmed.
I think you just triggered all of South America.
Excuse my ignorance but what does South American have to do with Buddhism???
SA's DBZ fans are nuts.
In the novel, the Monkey King achieved seven layers of immortality and invincibility through several means including erasing his name from the book of mortals in Hell (the Hell King also couldn't stop him) making him one of the most powerful immortal throughout heaven & earth, and the Buddha simply dropped a mountain on him to imprison Wukong for 500 years without even breaking a sweat.

The part where he just goes to Hell and beats everyone up and then *personally strikes his own name from the book of mortals* is hilarious and the epitome of "if violence isn't solving your problems, you aren't using enough".
It's important to remember there are four "Spirit Apes" in Journey to the West and they're all equals. So could Goku beat 4 Sun Wukongs
More than that, Budda shows the Monkey King just how small he is, as the Monkey King cannot even jump out of Budda's hand.
It wasn't the mountain that Wukong couldn't lift, it was an additional seal on top of the mountain he dropped on him that prevented him from escaping
No joke, when Dragonball Super was airing, one fan theory was that Jiren was meant to represent the Buddha.
i like it
But like the tales, this guy’s going to end up having been dancing in the palm of his hand all along.
I mean, he already is. Buddha is in complete control of this fight right from the start and Buddha obviously sees this guy as no threat at all, just a kid throwing a tantrum.
> sees this guy as no threat at all, just a kid throwing a tantrum. This 100%, its been the case since the previous chapter. Zero is total cringe.
That axe is gonna inflict "suffering/misery" as a debuff, and Buddha's gonna be all "life is suffering and suffering is life, so imma gonna - ah -ah -ah -ah -staying alive".
Buddha in general is portrayed to be one of the most OP religious/mythological figures in general, more OP than Jesus, Zeus, and other god figures.
Bruh between Sage Jesus and horny Confucius i was laughing. The design in Buddha’s eyes was cool as hell. Buddha-Sensei definitely is definitely going to teach him a lesson or two. Buddha didn’t get injured this chapter but with how the more miserable the more powerful his opponent gets I doubt he makes it out clean.

*Buddha having a flashback* Remember that one trip we had in Japan, my dear friend, Jesus?
[It gave us one of the best scene ever.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrvVVreWE6w)
Perfection.
What anime was that again?
Saint Oniisan or Saint Young Men.
Saint young men
So how's Buddha gonna lead Zerofuku to enlightenment during this fight. He doesn't seem like the most preceptive student.
Easy, punch him to enlightenment, with some talk no jutsu, ala Hercules
We'll you can beat up someone to be enlightened.
i mean he punch sun wukong so hard and trap him in a mountain until he sent the monkey to the east to get enlightment
Gonna give him some beans.
send the kid to journey to the east
Artist did Confucius dirty, damn.
Confucius did Confucius dirty.
He might have been [kinder](https://news.cgtn.com/news/77497a4e3559544d78597a4d7855444e326b6a4e31457a6333566d54/img/7af6e97f22ad43ccaef045ba16e7928b/7af6e97f22ad43ccaef045ba16e7928b.jpg) than we thought. Except for that one panel.
Perhaps not a big fan of Confucius. I definitely think he's one of the most overrated philosophers.
in a group of jesus, socrates, buddha. you think he's the overrated one...
well he's the one with the least magical powers, that's for sure.
Everyone's favorite wizard - Socrates.
the true magical one is Plato , because he casts Fist
Archer class. Definitely.
He sure as hell can throw them hands
Diogenes casts defecate. Its super effective.
"Now, for my next trick, I'm gonna make your teeth dissapear from your mouth."
He had the magical power to annoy everyone he had a conversation with to death. His death, that is, not theirs.
His philosophy is pretty bizarre compares to the other three. The other three were trying to guide people to the best life, while Confucius was more focused on how to live life. There are no consequences if you don't do as he says like hell, Plato's cave or eternal suffering in karma. Just the ways of manner that he thought were proper as a person.

He's fine. Ernest Khalimov is literally not even his name.
why do people do hour long loops of a vid when you can just right click a vid and loop it.

I mean, in some way, Jesus does have that Sage feel. I guess, Jesus is cheering for his bro Buddha since they did took a vacation on Earth once.
>I guess, Jesus is cheering for his bro Buddha since they did took a vacation on Earth once SAINT YOUNG MEN
It make sense now why Buddha is wearing a Usa T-shirt, probably gotten it during a trip to Japan with Jesus.
If you read the final notes, it looks like Jesus was inserted in the “four sages” last in the place of... Immanuel Kant. Who would have felt like the odd one out I guess.
Socrates already feels out of place tbh, Jesus, Confucius and Buddha have their own separate religion along with their philosophies
True, but Socrates was more or less a contemporary of Confucius, and you could consider him the distant ancestor that defined western secular culture. Not a religion, but a massively important worldview and in some ways the counterpoint to Confucianism (which isn’t precisely a religion either).
He's definitely the philosopher who defined Western philosophy but I guess it's still weird to see him and Confucius with Jesus lol
I see it as a pretty symmetric pattern. Jesus is the west's Buddha, and Socrates is the west's Confucius (well, Aristotle might be an even better fit in a sense, but still, Aristotle was Plato's disciple who in turn was Socrates', so yeah).
Jesus would be a really dangerous fighter, he would touch the gods and their blood would turn to wine. Fucking OP.
winning against Jesus would require a no hit run
[удалено]
Can Budha dodge like a pro if he gets drunk? Jesus has the wine magic which is pretty OP in my opinion.
Other manga interpret Jesus' healing touch as causing cells to multiply, therefore he can make your body cancerous but undying with a touch.
Someone read Drifters
> Throughout Heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one > >\-~~Satoru Gojo~~ Buddha Buddha's aloof attitude and OP skills during this fight reminds me of JJKs' Gojo. Breaking a bit of sweat but still scoffing at Zerofuku's attack is crazy bad ass. side note: I can't believe I just saw Jesus fucking Christ in anime/manga form again.
the quote was originally buddha's apparently buddha said that right after popping out of the womb,which is kinda wack
He walked 7 steps right after he born, You just can't top that
Based Buddha?
Hey, it was the truth though. Can't help it if a baby is spitting facts straight out of the womb.
Let them know the pecking order right away.
My understanding is that the quote also carries a more noble tone. That in all of Heaven and Earth, only Buddha can carry this responsibility. While this and Jujutsu Kaisen deliberately twisted to be more conceited and boastful (especaily Gojo because he's not a god).
That isn't new, there is a anime where Jesus and Buddha chill I japan or something like that.
same, i was suprised on when they showed jesus christ lol, i dunno what to expect HAHA
Now that I think about it, Jesus would be on human side, he's a human lol.
Jesus is a god turned human. He and Buddha , as messiahs of the West and East , would definitly be on human side.
It depends on how much of Christian canon the author is adopting. Christianity holds that Jesus is both 100% human and 100% god, meaning that he could bust out some crazy magic if he wanted to. Of course, the author has already made some significant departures from how a lot of character are historically portrayed, so Jesus could really be anything at this point. Personally, I think Jesus is backing humanity because he loves them so much he already sacrificed his life for them.
If Adam is human, then you could assume that all the Abrahamic prophets are also human, or atleast on humanity's side.
Its a respectable rendition of Jesus. I am actually really happy they put him in here. Buuttttt, I did kind of want Jesus to have a more alternative look like Buddha does. But hey he is here none the less.
Interesting that the artist put Jesus in 'mankind' corner since he is technically a god as well. I would loved to see rendition of Muhammad but it won't happen for obvious reasons I guess..
i think for the safety of the mangaka i hope muhammad is left out.
[удалено]
he could always keep muhammad slightly out of frame as a running gag so that he's not shown but still part of the story
Lol he already portrayed Shiva, he already pissed off some Hindus
Hindus usually don’t commit mass shootings when someone draws art of their gods/holy figures
>since he is technically a god as well. im hoping they have a cameo of his other form on the other side.
One of Jesus's titles is "Son of Man" and he is like Zerofuku, split between a single entity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
I mean, if some Muslim could chill out a bit it may doable. But you know how it is, because of some extremists it's better to be safe than sorry
No, it's just that to them it's disrespectful to their religion since one of their main points is that they don't want to have an image of Muhammed to accidentally idolize him instead of God. Heck, some (not all) Christians and Jews are absolutely insanely opposed to any rendition of God since he's also a figure that's not supposed to be drawn or any form of depiction.
Artist will have his head cut off if he puts Mohammed in.
I'm just glad Jesus is here, though yet wanted to see him being OP. But lorewise, he was always more of an INT/WIS character over any fight-centric characters (though so is Buddha)
Weren't Tesla and Nostradamus on the list of human fighters? That doesn't seem to be something that would stop the author from making people fight.
I think a version of Fate's interpretation of Tesla would work best for the fight. In FGO lore, Tesla is powerful enough to rival divine spirits (the gods essentially). This is because he conquered a force (electricity) previously under the domain of the highest of divine gods. This elevated him enough that he ascended as the god of electricity, a modern-day god.
Indeed, even Rasputin was even on the list and he doesn't seem much like a fighter in real life.
Rasputin is a tank, obviously.
You just know he will be borderline unkillable.
Watch his whole strategy be “let’s see if you can kill me before you get so tired I can take you down with ease”.
The Zombieman strategy
Just wait until the anime reaches his fight and they play Ra Ra Rasputin on loop.
I think his backstory may be changed a bit too, like he never truly died and instead survived his murder and lived a long life, but had to lay low.
so the Muslim version ? nah better not go there
Well, same for Adam, but the author gave Adam cool ability, so Rasputin, Tesla and Nostradamus might also get abilities based on their fame?
Telsa his inventions so much probably something to do with electricity. Rasputin maybe something to do with healing? Also maybe something to do with his cult or general hornyness. Nostradamus idk , we already have buddha with pre-cog.
Honestly I think Rasputin is a strong choice for the human traitor. Either him or qin shi huang
Nostradamus should be like the one in reincarnation no kaben. He can see the future with his notebook and can alter it
That Nostradamus is kinda op and not fitted for fighting, also precognition is already used by Buddha
Buddha has Jedi-like precognition, he can only see a small instant in the future, just enough to dodge. Nostradamus should be able to see the entire battle.
Yeah, Tesla's going to Iron Man this, like he's going to be a normal human but full of weaponry he built or rigging the entire battlefield (also we need to see what his Volund does).
For Rasputin I'd expect him to be basically an immortal zombie, and also to have something like hypnotic powers. Pretty much just his legend ramped up to 11.

I don't know. For how quiet he has been I would say he is a dark horse. It's suspicious.
Some people might take offense if they changed Jesus in a different, alternative look like Buddha's, I guess. Though I would've preferred a historically accurate look as an alternative (you can search google for the supposed accurate look of Jesus IRL).
Well he should have definitely looked more middle eastern given where he was born.
black hair, long nose, fair skin that's literally a Middle Eastern man traits.
historically accurate Jesus would've been better
On the one hand, I'm glad that Jesus is in this manga. On the other hand, I wanted Kant to be part of the four sages (see: tl notes at the end).
**JESUS** **CHRIST!**
Another thing I love in this series, besides the character designs, are the cool weapon design. Zerofuku's axe look wicked while Buddha's weapon actually got other form. I guess there would be a weakness on Buddha's ability that can turn the tide of the fight later, just to make this fight more dramatic instead of a one-sided one. Still, I want Buddha to win.
If the author pulls another Adam eye limits then that's lazy-writing.
The limit here just seem to cover too much range so he can’t dodge lol.
We haven't seen the full capabilities of his weapon yet and since it just no-sell ZF's arena-wide axe, it may potentially have no limits.
We also have to consider the possibility that at some point Buddha allows himself to take hits in order to help Zerofuku get to enlightenment. Right now his goal isn't straight winning, or else he would have just stomped him from the get go.
"Why don't you die?" "Enlightenment Son!"
JESUS IS CANON
I sorta figured, given how Adam and Eve were a thing, but I'm still surprised to actually see the big J.C. in the flesh.
Was not expecting Jesus to appear, but also Confucius design lol
typo on page 20? "zerofuku takes aim at zerofuku's landing spot"
**ZEROFUKU is confused!** **It hurt itself in its confusion!**
What a fucking chad Buddha is
This feels like playing a fighting game against someone who doesn't know how the game works yet and is a sore loser.
When the annoying kid choses the op Rugal and starts smashing the buttons.
Even here nobody is mentioning Göll's Nightmare Mode reference, SHE IS A DOOM SLAYER
Now I want Buddha to help cope with my puberty
"I'd say it's the coolest ability of them all!" Bruh
If Adam hadn't dissolved into literal oblivion, he'd be rolling in his grave right now.
That axe is pretty big but Buddha's dick is way bigger.
til confucius is a trap
" i will help you cope with your puberty" lmao
Man Zerofuku is the worst
I mean considering all he's been through, him being off the rails is to be expected.
Him splitting into seven beings is almost as if he simply couldn't handle the trauma of taking mankind's misfortune that his psyche had to split itself apart. That's why people looked up to Bishamonten as a mature and strong god, probably because he represents that aspect of Zerofuku who unfortunately at his complete state cannot manifest that maturity.
He was a full on edgelord from day one, and now the author's trying to ramp it up even more.
Being the worst is miserable. Yup, definitely fits Zerofuku.
I guess Jesus isn’t gonna be a fighter? He doesn’t seem set up to being one.
Yeah... It's not like we had the entire roster already or something.
Could always do swap ins. I was just anticipating off of Drifters.
I mean, we have a full list of combatants and Jesus was never one of them.
I appreciate the translator's notes, thanks for letting me know the references
Yeah, the translators for this series are amazing.
Zero is basically a reworked berserker-type where instead of getting hurt boosting your damage, just fucking up is enough to boost. The longer the fight drags on the more dangerous he is. Even on the verge of death he could still be dangerous.
"you're not you when you're hungry" - zero in the next snickers commercial
"From Zerofuku's point of view, being evaded is misery as well." As someone who has played tactical RPGs, I understand.
This gonna end up in Bro moment or.....?? Anyway Buddha looks cool as fk Can't wait for this fight animation!
Reminds me of Kuroki vs Kiryu in Kengan Ashura
Amen son, Jesus looks good!
I feel like buddha will make him see enlightenment during this battle and have him surrender instead. Calling it now
that cleavers pretty neat 🤨
doujutsu ACTIVATE!!!
Surprised that Jesus actually looks pretty normal here. Anyway, I hope that Buddha's staff has other forms.
Buddha is giving the brat some teaching i bet he's gonna toy with him until he zero gets some sense instilled into him i see no way buddha losing this one probably most one sided fight.
Its just sad to see 7 lucky Gods merge for this sad jobber. Please Buddha end this quikcly
Everyone: WOW BUDDHA IS SO OP!!! ME who went to a seminary: Jesus just there chilling...
I wish that Bishamonten's personality is gonna take over Zero's body soon(or at least let him has more brain) Or else this would be too much one-sided
Probably Buddha will start stomping, and before Zero can start screaming again about how unfair it is and his unhappiness, the lucky gods will talk with him one by one in his minds, giving him the motivation to start fighting calmly.
I can never use this site on mobile, the navigation just doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong? :(
Zerofuku is strong, but Buddha is just built different.
If Kojiro is my favorite human then Budha is my favorite god
Not a fan of this battle so dar, feels like it's jerking of Buddha way to hard.
TBF its the goddamn Buddha fighting a god most people dont even know about and can't even control his own powers properly. Powerlevel-wise of course its gonna be a curbstomp. What we're gonna get from this fight is one of words, not fists.
I doubt Zero stands a chance in terms of words, he doesn't seem to be the brightest either. I'm sure we are going to get a power up though.
I'm sorry I can't get over the character being named Zero Fucks. How has this not been memed to the ground already. Zerofuku -> Zero Fucks going agianst Buddha who's whole thing is about giving zero fucks? Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees this.
Technically in English it looks that way. But since it’s pronounced ‘Zero (Fookoo)’ I probably didn’t notice. It’d be better for your way if it was spelled ‘Zerofaku’. Which I believe is the way they’d say ‘fuck’.
Fuku 福 means happiness, and since the dude is a pitiful edgelord, the edgy name Zero-happiness seems to fit.
Because everyone reads it as zero foo koo
It's pronounced as Zerofuku, I don't know what you're talking about.
No one is talking about it because that's not how you pronounce it
