>>291852099The mangaka just wanted a brutal Gabimaru fight and needed a way to justify it. Hence amnesia.
>>291852472So he's still alive.

>>291854578you will never have this
>>291854578Life's good with wife.
>>291854578>>291854646My favorite panel in this manga is Sagiri's ecstatic face when she suddenly realizes she found proof that Chibimaru's wife is real.
>>291855449>emperor of the Qin DynastyAs in that guy who thought mercury made you immortal?
>>291855869I don't think boys are supposed to have that kind of character development.

>>291855276>one who used "shen"xian "principles" to research the secrets of "immortality"
>>291857070Thanks for the dump OP.
>>291854470Sorry bub, but you dun messed up with pic related. No second chances for you.
>>291857244thanks for the read OP!
>>291857524He even used his powers to create clones from himself.
>>291852296Sagiri a CUTE!
>>291854058>>291854084>>291854111Look how excited she is. That's a married man, Sagiri!
>>291854084BAD TOUCH BAD TOUCH
>>291855934Somehow he's girlier with shorter hair
>>291857037ENTER sasuke
>>291857535What's the deal with the author NOT simply pairing Gabimaru and Sagiri? It's not like she can ever become a bride after this.
>>291855978Elusive Samurai taught me that this is supposed to happen when a boy officially comes of age, but that was a couple centuries before this setting.
>>291859512either she is hyper shipping him with his wife.or she is an NTR pervert willing to play the "ugly bastard" role on him
>>291860445The author is simply choosing to have Gabimaru stick to his original wife.
>>291860565>Sagiri 0.5 seconds after she find out the wife was real
>>291857165>there are some parts of this story that'll progress in directions that are unknown even to the authorUh oh.
>>291854058>>291854084>>291854111I always found it hilarious that the story notes that Gabimaru and Sagiri are explicitly NOT having sex in this scene, but what they're actually doing is still so sexually charged in both form and function that Mei can't help but say it's similar to mystical sex magic while her face is red as a tomato.
>>291854002Really, just like a cat.
>>291855628>welcome to Shinsenkyo>here's your complimentary tan soda and 12 year old
>>291855783>back to a kid
>>291860569>The author is simply choosing to have Gabimaru stick to his original wife.Then don't write Gabimaru and Sagiri and perfectly complementing each other while making Yui barely a presence in the story.
>>291861062It's a surprise for everyone. Come on that's always fun!
>>291854084>>291854111Hot, steamy, extramarital bochujutsu with married Shinobi!
>>291860569>>291864462I want t give me 2 pennys on this.I think the author did it one purpose.Not for the sake of subversion or pettiness.The author just play a lot around sexual attraction and Contrast Duality in this manga (to the point sex is a special magical act here).So the author is doing the sexual and motional chemistry on purpose, while also wanting to keep gabi a faithful married man.Sagiri is not even the cucked loser here since she also really really want him back to his wife.The point is to write and explicitly to sexual and emotional tension between the two during this very deadly suicide mission , alongside having her being the parallel for his wife and the regain of his humanity in the contrast or going full Hollow/Shura ending
>>291866981Yeah, I get all that and I agree. The parallelisms between Sagiri and Yui as influences on Gabimaru are particularly consistent, to the point the anime's first OP makes it blatantly visual, but it doesn't change that by having Gabimaru and Sagiri build a relationship that includes everything from trust to sexual tension throughout the course of the story, most readers are going to find Gabimaru's relationship with the wife that's hardly physically present in the manga wanting by comparison. Either make it so Yui has more of a presence in the story, or don't write Sagiri as Gabimaru's work wife. Or better yet, just have Sagiri become his second wife. It's not like Japan was cucked by western influence by then, polygami was perfectly legal.
>>291867205The thing is that Yui has no ways to be there with Gabimaru during the shinsenkyou suicide mission (unless some bullshit is pulled, i’ve been S1 watcher only so far).She is a regular girl despite her father being the shinobi chief, so even just the random monsters mooks would be a deadly encounter for her unless she speedrun Ten’s training in a very bullshit way (most of the cast on the island has been using Ten in a passive form for most of their life, for this reason they are so proficient in learning it once they get a teacher).So for this and to push further the themes and gabimaru’s humanity , against him losing his memories and his wife (aka his humanity) , he needs a relationship as strong as the one with Yui to keep him hooked into his vanishing Human side that is slowly getting corrupted.For this reason the relationship with Sagiri is written this way, he needs an external figure strong enough to keep surviving and stay at his side in person, someone that keeps his memories and humanity strong .Since his wife has no ways to do that without getting killed 0.5 seconds after stepping a foot in the shinsenkyou, Sagiri has this important role narratively alongside pushing the themes of sexual attractions and duality.Its also quite well executed , since Sagiri being so emotionally close to Yui (and being a woman) is what stopped him from going full Garan (Sekiro’s shura ending) at the start of the mission right after the fight with Bootleg Benkei.Any other executor would’ve been killed by him going full scorched earth like a rabid dog (and him probably getting killed by the giants or the first Tensen he meets since he would not have any help by Mei or getting taught the fondamentals of Ten).So the relationship with Sagiri MUST be that complicated and uncomfortable despite him being faithful to his wife.
>>291851943Note to self, do not accept succ from a ninja.
>>291852678>>291852704>>291852720Power of love strikes again.>>291853644>no but I would appreciate the chance to turn you downkek
>>291852704>Powerup by gay incestI see.
>>291856426Magic skirt saves us from the gooch shot.
>>291856867>last thought before they bang is how he's doing it for his brother
>>291868010I mean, for all the purposes the Tensen are canonically a man that divided himself into 7 entities that can change their sex into women.Its basically gay sex with a tranny with extra steps
>>291867512I mean to be fair apparently Yui can do Taijutsu and also has the standard poison immunity of the village. She could maybe come, but who knows if she's fodder ninja or competent.
>>291868340You said it, fodder ninja at best .And she would be left in a scenario where Gabimaru , who is supposed to be the strongest ninja after the old man, alongside many very skilled swordmen and superhumans are struggling a lot to survive.To the point the weakest member, the brown cunny, mostly play the role of the support-healer and let most of the job to Blind guy and the others
>>291854310>>291855252He spends the whole second half of the manga getting repeatedly bitten in the ass by the fact he missed all the tao training montages, doesn't he?
>>291857037The Asshole is here
>>291868847More or less.
>>291870879we need a ONE PIECE edit for this about SHITki
>>291867205It's tough. I'm in the camp that supports Gabimaru staying true to Yui to the bitter end, but I can't blame people for preferring him with Sagiri based on the way they were written. Especially when that plot point about his wife possibly being a hallucination is one hell of a tease.
>>291871011Surely there's been at least one character who has said this out loud in its +1000 chapter run, right?
>>291851690Thx.
>>291874572Starting!!
