After watching this video weeks ago, i have been thinking.
Does character in wuxia works have habit of giving your enemy a drink before fighting to thedeath ?
Phoenix killer did this with Shang few episode ago
and the old man at 4:34 also did this too
https://youtu.be/mIgDFlTO4vM?t=275

>>146285238
Mostly yes in a form of respect while other time its a trap with the drink being poisoned.

>>146284728
You know, if I remember correctly, Vaper did say Shang will be happy to see her again which would mean Shang happy to save her, [spoier] after losing many loved one before the start of the quest[/spoiler]

>>146284588
>Hero

Just a reminder that bullying is bad.

>[HorribleSubs] Thunderbolt Fantasy - 08 [720p].mkv

Did we get official lyrics for the main theme yet?

Form the Chinese spoiler,
it appears that Xuě Ya use this pipe to setup Dān Fěi and let her and Shang get captured and imprisoned. His true identity is a famous& notorious thief that like stealing treasure. He 's still not evil or bad though, more like an anti hero or "bad "good guy .

>>146286931
A thief is not a good guy, unless he steals and gives to the poor.

Anyways, his poem if anyone cares to translate it:

「幽夜匿形不謂隱，明光伏影是迷觀。虛實由來如一紙，誰識幻中吾真顏？」

日本語訳：闇に潜っての画策は忍びの技とは言えぬ、光の中で人の目を惑わせてこそ真の力なり。虚実の境は紙一重、幻惑の裏の我が素顔を誰が見抜けるだろうか？

>>146286591
Wait, did they bully this episode too? Fuck those cunts, the Shofuku bullying must end.

>>146287085
In summary
>Turns out Demon and Archer were fucking up on purpose to see how Shang faired
>Xue Ya cast an illusion to make Dan Fei fight Shang
>Both got imprisoned in Xue Ya's plan to steal both the guard and the handle
>Then everyone mocks Shang for not knowing about any of this because he arrived from a country none of them believe he came from anyhow

>>146284531
Fucking best OST of the season.

>Arrow Kiritsugu is Jigen
>Psycho Viral is Goemon
>Necro-hara is Fujiko
>Vapewizard is Lupin

so is Shang Bu Han Zenigata in this equation?

>>146287402
It literally has one song though.

>>146287599

Vape Wizard's reveal was kind of disappointing when he could have been the owner of the tower instead of just a thief

>>146296362

>>146284531
Cant wait for the OP

>>146288209
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking too.

It's pretty much a given that Gui Niao stole the real guard from Dan Fei ages ago and substituted a replica. A fact Mie Tian Hai instantly recognized, which is why they're having a polite little feast while discussing what Gui Niao wants in exchange for it. Or at least what he'll claim he wants before he tries to pull another fast one. It's pure Lupin.

What's got me interested is what Shang's really combat style actually is. Knowing he's absolutely not a swordsman sets him up as the opposite to obsessed sword collector Mie Tian Hai. But a blunt weapon? Does that mean he's a staff fighter, or is he secretly a kung fu master with one of those "sealed techniques" oaths?

>Shang Tsung is the typical japanese samurai
>came from West China
???

>gets no respect and endless mockery from the other party members

can the shoufukan bullying stop

>>146296797

I think he orginally trained to fight with wooden sword like bokken before he got real sword.

>>146297529
Is he Butcher's self insert?

>>146297589
Wouldn't he be confident in his sword technique if that was the case?

It'd be hilarious if his final form was just to sheathe his sword and beat them with the round stick though.

I really hope that Dan Fei grows a bit more backbone and starts acting like a main character. I'd consider this a given in most stories, but Japan being Japan leaves me with some doubts.

>The noble journey to kill the big bad is essentially just an elaborate heist set up by Kichou

Fucking hell, that's hilarious. Especially considering how the two most heroic characters are at the center of this plot.

>>146297836

Bashing and slashing is quit diffirent. Bashing you just hit hard, while slashing require more finesse.

But it would be interesting when he use his true skill.

>>146297589
I doubt it. With a bokken you're still practicing slashing techniques and sword forms. From the way the characters talked Shang is has basically no idea how to use a sword properly and is getting by on a mix of raw power and clumsily repurposed skills.

Which in its own way is sort of impressive. Using a weapon he's terrible with, he was able to overcome the first two trials and defend against Dan Fei going all out. How badass is he going to be when he pulls out his real combat style? This is a like a not-stupid version of the "I was only fighting at 30% of my real power" trope.

>>146289668
>it's treason then

>>146298602
Hypothesis.
Shang is actually a staff-/stickfighter, or is accustomed to fighting with studded clubs.
He stole the sword from an actual swordsmen he killed, then wandered into the desert to commit suicide by proxy.

Also, his art name apparently translates to Edgless Blade.

she coulda done it

>>146298838
I really think there's more to it than that.

I just went back to Ep 1 to double check this. After he chases off the mooks hunting Dan Fei he waves his hand a bit, gathers a bunch of glowing yellow energy, and then transfers it to her to heal her internal injuries. Check it out at 12:15 of the video. That's not just "oh I'm better with a staff than a sword" stuff. That's "oh I'm a secret kung fu master with advanced chi manipulation techniques I'm hiding" stuff.

That's not everything hidden in the first episode. Later on when Shang says he's getting serious against the guy who cuts his own head off, he first throws out a shockwave attack with that same yellow tinged energy, then cuts the guy down while breaking his sword using "Formless Rogue Sword: Eight-Way Arrival". Which I think is the only time Shang's ever used a named technique.

We all forgot about this stuff because Shang's spent most of his time since then clowning around while the other characters get introduced and show off, and because we didn't have a baseline for what level of abilities most characters in the setting have. But if you compare it to what he's done since, he's been very carefully hiding all his best abilities from the group.

>>146297589
I'm thinking he's actually the equivalent of a shaolin monk. He was trained in punches, kicks and stick-fighting. He probably switched to swords because he was exiled for breaking some non-killing rule or something for saving someone's life.

>>146302788
It's her fault, Ken pointed out her flaws and she kept those.
Also, Shofukan's art name is Jinmuhou, right? Do you think his blade went blunt because he fought his way through the desert? In the op, he was cutting something with his sword.

>>146302915
Shaolin do have swords, though.

>>146302943
>Do you think his blade went blunt
I really don't think they were being literal about that. He cut off some guy's hand in the first episode just fine.

>>146302943
how do you know she didn't change her routines? she could have very well taken in the advise ken gave. but a few tweaks in the moves simply wasn't enough for her to become as good of a fighter as shou. which's very believable.

>>146303066
They do, but I'm just sticking with the wuxia sterotypes of monks and their wooden staffs, and their non-killing clauses.

>>146303073
I think that's not enough overdramatic for Butcher.

>>146301662

Everyone is left-handed in TBF world.

Might as well be true. Is Shou so based he could fight a touhou heaven princes with a weapon he's not good at? Or maybe hypnosis reduced her skill.

Nice catch on all that. He's not completely bumbling if he's kept a low profile, but he let slip it to Rinsetsua.

I'd given the manga a pass because of the crap character models, but I went and skimmed the first two chapters to see if there's any clues. The healing bit is indeed there, which means it's not a minor detail, as is Sheng winning the fight with Formless Rogue Sword: Eight Way Arrival.

If I parse that right, Formless means he's not using any formal sword stance and Rogue means it's not part of any school. Which really makes me suspect he's adapting something that's properly more like Iron Snake School Fist: Eight Way Arrival. Not that school specifically, but that he's got a very distinctive fighting style that he's sealed away, or at least concealing so he can hide his true identity.

>>146308372

Eh, in wuxia, healing someone with chi is incredibly commonplace. Although granted, it's usually done by someone who's incredibly skilled. It really doesn't mean too much, unless this half of the land doesn't use chi but something else.

>>146309108
I'm sure the whole formless naming scheme is to imply he's using a self-taught style. Wuxia MC are usually those types as it means they are people with a natural talent for martial arts.

The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, which is a pretty iconic wuxia work, had a pretty prominent scene about the alcoholic protagonist alternating between fighting the villain and generally being bros and just drinking with the villain.

Is there any manhua adaptation of Jin Yong work's translated? I think I'd enjoy them more than those live action tv series.

For that matter, are there any wuxia manga or manhua in English? Only one I know is Blood and Steel.

>Someone uploaded the first chapter of manga translated, and looking at the healing bit I had to double take because I hadn't remembered something like that being so commonplace seeming. Nice catch on all that. He's not completely bumbling if he's kept a low profile, but he let slip it to Rinsetsua.
>I still wonder what he was in a hurry for that he can make this detour.

Yeah he seemed keen to get somewhere and I don't think it was just out of the rain. Did he cross the Wasteland of Spirits to do something here in particular? Or is he running from someone, which would explain why he's still hiding his style even after he's crossed the uncrossable?

What episode did they show the worldmap in? Anyone have a screenshot of it?

>>146309865
>Eh, in wuxia, healing someone with chi is incredibly commonplace.

And that's exactly why it's a twist. The show throws it at you early in the first episode and you just shrug because you expect that sort of thing from wuxia. Then the twist is that no, it's an incredibly unusual trick that no one else in the series is capable of, but you forgot all about it because you wrote it off as a typical genre trope.

Or did you also forget that this is an Urobochi show? This is exactly the sort of misdirection he loves.

>>146311336
Have anyone else actually gotten injured to the point they needed healing though? Everyone else are trained martial artists of some sort, they really didn't need someone else to heal their wounds. I mean, they were throwing out touhou levels of dakka here with their chi. I doubt healing with chi is out of their league unless of course, they're not using chi in the first place.

>>146311336
>wrote it off as a typical genre trope
>This is exactly the sort of misdirection he loves
Does anyone have the interview where Urobuchi talked about genre tropes? I only saw it in one of these threads but I recall one point saying that he wanted people to question the cliches and to doubt whether they were being played straight or not.

>>146311224

Answering myself - it's in Ep 6 starting at 7.52. Two places he might be going only seem to be on the Dong Li side of the Wasteland - a sea and the Demon Spine Mountains. If Shang wanted to get to, or even cross, the Demon Spine Mountains then it would explain why he's going along with the group.

>>146312866
Can you really call him chuuni if he's really as good as he claims he is?

>>146310181
There is an anime adaptation of Condor Hero Part 2. Other than that, very few comic books are actually translated in English.

By chuuni I mean the way he acts and talks, stuff like 'you're 100 years too soon to challenge me' or 'who wants to die first? Or you prefer to die together?'

>>146314507
The whole point of chuu2 is that they're trying to ape or imitate these sort of badass/edgy characters. So no, he's not because that's not what chuu2 means. Chuu2 are the people trying to pretend or act like him.

>>146314647
Okay, sorry for being wrong. I just don't know how to call that kind of attitude. 'Cool' or 'badass' isn't exaggerated enough.

>>146289668

>>146314507
Saying edgy cringy lines doesn't make you a chuuni if the world you're in actually have super powers. Chuuni refers exclusively to people living in mundane world playing pretend.

But still it's exaggerated. A lot of strong characters don't need those kind of clothes, attitude, or lines to show that they are strong. I'm just using chuuni for a placeholder for whatever word best to describe him, so I'm sorry if I'm using it wrong.

Honestly I want to avoid using the word 'edgy'.

>>146315180
>A lot of strong characters don't need those kind of clothes, attitude, or lines to show that they are strong.
It does because that's the world they live in. Chuuni is even less accurate than edgy, because by your logic all fantasy realm bad guys/ anti-heroes would be chuuni.

Since both of them use spear, who do you think is stronger ? the golden armor villain or the muscular hero .

Anyone want to have a go deciphering the OST track titles? For example 5in4 is probably read shina not five in four. GK might stand for the happy shoes, but it seems like an important track.

The first Kill track is Phoenix's theme, the second is Keigai's with him (Kguy almost as clear as coldsnowcrow), but what the fuck do you read them as? Kill don't live killfie?

Well Archer guy is strong but he shows it by showing his mad skills. His fashion sense isn't that exaggerated. His attitude is your usual old guy of the group. He probably threw some cool lines but compared to Screaming Phoenix who 'fights' Shoufukan in the restaurant, Archer can't compare.

My point here is 'exaggerated' and not in a negative sense. He mostly don't talk much but sometimes threw cool lines and shit, usually mocking Ken's naiveness. His fashion sense is like that. He stroke cool poses and he's actually really strong. I really can't describe it better. Maybe anti-hero? Villain? Edgy? Whichever is fine.

It's common enough of an occurrence in wuxia. He's good, he knows he's good and he's proud of that fact. That's it. You're making things more complex than it is.

>His fashion sense isn't that exaggerated
Because fashion choice reflects things like social status and attitude. Archer is meant to be more low key while Assassin is meant to be the sort who live on a bigger budget. His mannerism and clothing reflects that he's of a higher wealth status.

I don't get it, so why is Archer friends with Enigmatic Gale?

Actually at this point why is he even on the side of the good guys He's not like the others who want to kill Enigmatic Gale, and Lancerbro who never knew anything about this. Wasn't his reason for helping just because he's friends with the dude?

>>146316817
He's not friends with Vape Wizard, he just got caught up in the shenanigans from helping Tan Hi at the beginning and getting marked by the Genkishu

>>146316817
Maybe Rinsetsua pulled a Robin Hood with him in the past?

>>146316817
>>146316953

it's clear that they used to pull heists together.

>>146316817
Yeah, that confused me too. He seemed to get involved just because Vaper asked him to, then a couple of episodes later he says he is suspicious about the MC and Vaper.

>>146316953
You're talking about the MC in reply to a post talking about Archer.

>>146316812
I see. I only know that kind of attitude from shonen manga so I don't understand kung-fu or wuxia stuff. In fact this is the first time I heard 'Arrogant Kung Fu Guy'. Wow, that really long and annoying to say. Thanks I guess.

>>146317095
Oh wait I was thinking Archer = MC because of the voice

>>146316817
They aren't friends. They have worked together so maybe he owe him a favour or whatever but him being suspicious doesn't contradict things. It's like how people work with Jack Sparrow out of necessity or because of his skills but at the same time know that he can't be trusted.

>>146313712
Eh? What do you think they didn't show in the show? The first episode of the show has him healing Dan Fei. He just does it casually and no one is around to witness or comment on it, so it never gets brought up again.

>>146318281
Everyone who's anyone in wuxia can do that kind of stuff.

Right, and that brings us right back to what I said before, where that might be exactly the assumption that Urobochi is using to play us.

Who is hands down best boy? Or best husband material?

I wonder why none of them have asked Shang why he crossed The Glow to get to Dong Li. Or for that matter asking him what's been going on in Xi You for the past 200 years.

What do "Dong Li" and "Xi You" mean?

Hmm Lie Mei and Xing Hai a cute, Dan Fei is nice too. Decisions decisions.

basically just east and west. li and you are two different words that can have meaning of leaving/separation/gone

>>146297589
I think MC was a bare hand fighter first
unless all swordsmen know how to do exploding lightning fists like he did in ep 7

>>146319475
Or alternatively, he's one of those self-taught, never learned through formal channels or developed own style type.

>>146303230
>Everyone is left-handed in TBF world.
That's due to the puppets needing the strong right hand to support the weight of the puppet and all of its gearing under the costume. The right hand holds it up and animates various actions. The left hand does the puppet's left hand and legs. Because the right hand is occupied with stabilizing the puppet, the left hand ends up being the one with enough physical degrees of freedom to handle the expressiveness of the puppet. So that's why the left arm and hands of the puppets move so much more than the right.

>>146319016
That'll just piss off the audience, who are familiar with the genre and its conventions. They'll simply call bullshit on that.

>>146321240
cotd. There has been no mention of any specialness of chi techniques, and Pili follows wuxia conventions in general, so it would simply be bad writing to use that kind of asspull

The reason for Shoufukan crossing the desert has to do with Rinsetsua's master plan, he was just chilling waiting for him to cross by. How did they come to know each other is another mystery.

I won't be surprised if Rinsetsua wants to steal something other than the Tengyouken too.

The making of episode 7, showed Rin trying to give Shoufukan an umbrella, just how deep does his master ruse go?

>>146321351
He also doesn't use complete asspulls

>>146321351
>>146321240
I kinda feel like people are making too much of a deal out of the qi/chi healing thing.

>>146322145
I think its a valid point.

Whenever he fights he usually always has this white/yellow qi whenever he is fighting.
The only other time is how when he's using it to heal Tanhi.

No one else has shown to have any other kinds of "magic" that heals people, not even tanhi who is a priestess.

Also, when the Demon Lady wants to not let Bones get his hands on the sword, why not take the guard off of tanhi or just steal it from her and run? Or is the rest of the group kind of not letting her do this?

Now knowing more about Vaper/Enigmatic Gale I wonder how everyone else is related to him.

Phoenix hates him; but why?
Demon Lady hates him; but why?
Why does his Master associate with him?
Archer is unclear, but a repeat accomplice/cohort though
Ken is with Archer

>>146322565
They all hate him because he stole one thing or another from them.

What I don't understand is that if he steals all the time, where is his loot?
Betsutengai is a "collector" and his tower if full of stuff but Rinsetsua has only a pipe, that his teacher willingly made for him. Doesn't make sense.
Unless he likes to steal non material things.

Or, it could be that he's the original owner of the tower.

>>146322774
>Or, it could be that he's the original owner of the tower.

People keep proposing this, and I just don't believe it.

Seems like a guy like him, a thief with a more pronounced name that takes care to keep his face hidden, would just not own a huge castle that is hard to get to. If he was the original owner, it seems likely that he would've already had some measure to easily get in, be it the demon birds or something else.

>What I don't understand is that if he steals all the time, where is his loot?

Could be he just wants to steal just for the reputation he receives. He might like the infamy.

So Vapeguy is basically fantasy Kaitou Joker?

>>146322903
It also wouldn't make sense because if all his loot is in the tower, then Keigai and Phoenix killer could just go there and get what's stolen from them.

Most likely, the things that Rin stole from them can't be brought back, otherwise Phoenix killer wouldn't want to outright kill him before getting his stuff back.

>>146322774
Come on, it's not like he has to lug all his shit around with him and we're not even told specifically that he doesn't have his own bunker or secret hiding place.

Or it could simply be part of the finale. That after all said and done, Shou finally fulfilled his promise of saving someone in place of the stone Buddha in exchange of the umbrella. So Rin gave him an umbrella as a parting gift, as Shou returns to his trail to parts unknown. Then as Shou passes by the broke down temple at the beginning of the story. He would then decide to place the umbrella back to the stone Buddha. Hoping that by some off chances, it could compel the next person who picks it up to do a good deed like he did. End scene.

I was wondering, at exactly when did Rinsetsua hallucinated Tan Hi? I don't see Betsu Ten Gai or Shofukan switched places?

There was one time when both of their faces overlapped each other a bit, just before the duel began.
