Going to have to pick up the Batman read. There has got to be more context to him going for 28 hours straight.
I know this is comics, truly I do, but some of the best fighters in the world today have trouble going for 5 minutes rounds without rest.
Writers (yes, even the great ones) like to really, really exaggerate just a tad too much, challenging their audience's ability to suspend belief more and more.
@decoyelite: That's quite an awesome profile picture you've got that.
WHAT BOOK IS IT FROM?
My background is better.
Can't wait for issue 2!
Did that guy just use a flash kick O_o
Monkey D. Luffy is still taking part in the tournament on Dressrosa Island. Normally on such a low level character, you'd think Luffy would have this fight well won already, but Don Chin Jao is proving to be a stiff challenge. Like Luffy, he also has the ability to use various forms of Haki.
The weirdest thing about this fight is that Don Chin Jao has been an emotional basket case. Seems Luffy's grandfather Garp took some precious treasure from him in the past. He's trying to kill Luffy in some act of misdirected vengeance. Now that it was also revealed that he ahs something against Rayleigh, I'm wondering if there is anyone he doesn't hold some grudge against.
Ever since Obito claimed control over the power of the Ten-Tailed Beast after becoming its Jinchuriki, no one has been able to land a real hit on Obito. His new found ability has given him the powers to pretty much cancel out all ninjutsu targeted at him.
Naruto did find an opening in his defense after he saw Gamakichi's failed attack wasn't canceled out. It would appear that Obito is still vulnerable to senjutsu. Naruto went into Sage Mode and teleported behind Obito, with the help of Tobirama Senju. He nailed Obito with a solid hit from the Ransengan.
The only problem here is that Naruto's time in Sage Mode is limited, and I seriously doubt this one hit will be enough to take out an enemy of this level. Obito isn't likely to let himself fall victim to yet another sneak attack either.
These are last weeks episodes.
Just because I wanted to post something
Wolverine, with all his centuries of experience (but now without healing powers) versus Black Panther!

Annnd....I have a subscription to the "official" WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP digital edition, which is on same day release with Japan. I can read Japanese, and I also have contacts who work with the translation teams on these series for the actual publishers. I have talked with them on this very issue.
WSJ issues are sent out every Monday to stores a week before they're to be officially released. Someone (printer/retailer) is taking their early access, scanning the pages, and distributing them to scangroups a week early. WSJ has always been published on Monday. That's why scangroups don't put out their versions until late Tuesday to early Wednesday. It shouldn't surprise you that pirated content sites aren't honoring official release dates. When you are reading chapters on these scan sites, you are often reading them a week before they've even been officially released in Japan.
NARUTO Ch. 642 was officially released on August 12th -- this week. Pirates websites released it a week early. It's not up for debate. Every issue of WSJ published since 2010 has the release date printed on the cover in the fine print -- which is normally found just above the magazine logo. To the left of the release date is the "cover date", which is always two weeks ahead of the release dates. The same way a comic book that is released in July will say it's the August issue on the cover.
The reason there isn't any chapters out on pirates sites this week is becasue next week is Japan's Obon Festival. A time of the year that WSJ always has a break becasue of the holiday period. Obon didn't begin until the 15th, and events will run until the 25th. Haven't you ever wondered why the pirated sites don't have chapters the week before Golden Week but release chapters when Golden Week is actually taking place in Japan??

My best friend is married to a Japenese Woman for at least 20yrs, they go there often, and I'm updated on these sort of things through them. I 'm sure that you are also aware that what you recieve and read from shonen that's translated isn't always what was said in the actual manga as well as animae.Also I have been going to my sites for quite sometime. If I have a question I can get it almost directly from the source when I talk to my friends wife, who is of that culture and a native of Japan, verses heresay, because unless you have ties to that country what they put out here in the states is diluted, and not even canon in most cases, because the story wasn't meant to be told as such. Case and example DBall Gt, Thanks for your input though!
