My favorite scene from the original War of the Worlds story, set to the awesome manga adaptation and Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. I hope you like it! See the description for where I bought my copy of the manga.
this is such a build up section on the album, i havent listened to this for years. didnt know there was a manga version of this either, nice edit, thanks for opening my eyes :-)
@@TayoEXEComing back to this two years later, I’m now noticing that there’s a slight missed opportunity in the audio video, to be similar to the live show. At 2:52, the sound of the cannons firing almost aligned perfectly with the song in the live performance. If the audio of the cannon firing happened after the line: “Cannons blazing as she came” it would have been perfect. And the timing between each sound, there’s a slight pause. But that’s just me.
The captain in this manga is basically how I imagined the captain of the Thunderchild. EVen as he chokes on black smog hes determined to keep fighting to his dying breath like the old veteran he is.
Yeah, I love that it shows the crew. Even when they can't see anymore, they keep going, knowing it's their death sentence. A major last hurrah for humanity in the original story before the Martians take over for the second half.
@@TayoEXE the thunderchild was such a tough ship. In comparison to the modern adaptation, where our technoligy is more advanced and we didn't stand a chance, the thunderchild managed to down two tripods.
I always fully believed that the captain and crew of the Thunderchild knew they were going to their deaths in a fight they couldn't win, but they went in anyway, full steam and cannons blazing to the end. They were sailors of the Royal Navy and they had a duty to do and went down swinging
If not the most faithful story wise, it sure puts me in the atmosphere that I think the novel was going for. Victorian England setting, humanity's ignorance and apathy until the tripods are immediately a threat, humanity's fight back but downfall, the beautiful and horrifying scenery of the red weed, the overwhelming terror and craze the event causes on people's psyche, and the breath of relief in the end with a cautious warning of it not being the end. No force fields. Less curb stomps on humanity. Humanity stretched and tested. And a sense of wonder and mystery as well as that "cool" factor that I can't really explain.
"When the smoke cleared, the little steamer had reached the misty horizon, and Carrie was safe. But the Thunder Child had vanished forever, taking with her man's last hope of victory. The leaden sky was lit by green flashes, cylinder following cylinder, and no one and nothing was left now to fight them. The Earth belonged to the Martians..."
Oh, you mean the Alvim Corrêa illustrations where the tripods look kind of like water towers? Someone did make a video/game demo in the style I believe! Look up "War of the Worlds 1913 - Short & Very Stylish Video Game Remake of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds!" here on RUclips. :)
Damn this manga looks legit, great visuals of the tripods dominating London, that’s the vibe it’s gotta be, an unstoppable slaughter of humanity and a fight for survival, that’s The War of the Worlds, if any adaptation nails that vibe, it’s a good adaptation in my book. Tripods here kinda look like the BBC miniseries ones, how the legs look and how the Black Smoke is dispensed and such.
It's somewhat short at 3 volumes, but it is pretty faithful to the original novel! This is my favorite scene from the original story, so I felt these two adaptations did it a lot more justice. This is the scene of humanity losing the war, but man, going out with a bang. It's epic. Never thought a boat could be so epic. Haha It's way cool because it incorporates the Martian flying machines toward the end as they can dispense the Fighting Machines (the Tripods) (really cool scene at the end of one opening up and dropping a tripod as it falls out and lands and makes a big crash). The feeling I got from these Tripods design was to look "other-wordly" and more "organic." The author is a big fan of the original novel, so he along with the artist only took a few liberties to fit better for manga and to give his own interpretation as to how these Tripods and other Martian machines would look if they came from another planet.
@@frenzyfilms300 Because it takes place after the events of the book, and is of a more western style. Not that that’s a bad thing, but also not really what I was thinking of.
@@warpig6459 I know, but it’s a sequel to the book and only kinda anime. Still cool though, can’t get much better than Theodore Roosevelt fighting Martians with an HMG
@@MinillusI mean, look what happened to Jonathon. So far, Joseph is the only male Joestar that actually got to reach old age. All the rest of them died relatively young that we’ve seen so far
Sweet! If you don't read Japanese, I hope I can get a translation to you sooner than later. Volume 3 should be coming out around next March or April I believe. Looking forward to it!
Yeah, I've heard the BBC version misses the mark in a lot of areas unfortunately. I look forward to them releasing volume 3 of the manga eventually! My guess is that it will have 4 volumes in total. Not a bad length for an adaptation.
Tell me about it. Heck, I would love an anime version of this manga. The last volume (3) just released, and it's overall one of the most faithful adaptations I've seen. It did, however, add some cool things in a final battle involving the briefly mentioned flying machines the Martians were building toward the end. This version had the flying machines dropping tripods from the sky. It's freaking cool!
This is so badass, seeing the crewmen bleeding from the mouth but still barrelling right through the gas brought chills through my spine. I wish it depicted the full scope of the battle. Thunderchild blasted apart one Tripard, got hit with gas, then rammed a second, bringing it down, then got hit with the heatray. Still, it charged ahead into the third, and after getting hit a second time by the heatray, the magazine detonates in Thunderchild, causing a carastrophic explosion that takes out the third.
That has to be one of the most intense things I’ve ever watched. And the thunderchild battle scene is one of the most detailed fight scenes of any novel
It's a little-known facet of 19th century naval theory, that ramming actually came back into style for a while. Mostly thanks to the spectacular Battle of Lissa
I love Thunder child and it's fall, it represents the final and best hope of Britain in this moment. Britain has is being invaded by a technologically superior force and now an embodiment of the royal navy appears. A symbol of imperial British strength. Which is brought down by the Martians. Just as Thunder child crushed the navies of any nation which resisted the conquest of the British it has been crushed by a greater invader and now Britain is subject to an ironic fate being treated as they have treated others.
its flattering when you get adaptations such as this but the original books thunderchild took out 3 tripods before succumbing to its wounds, it was also a pre dreadnought rather then an armoured cruiser, but ill give a hand to the one who made that comic, it sure made the events look more dramatic, easily the most iconic chapter in the story
Considering most adaptations don't even take place in the original setting, let alone portray Thunder Child, Jeff Wayne's version and this version do a pretty good job of helping portray the epicness of the original chapter.
@@TayoEXE if your referring to those terrible American movies, then its kinda a trope at this point that American adaptations cant do British very good lol, jeff waynes thunderchild was based on the majestic class dreadnought, japan has a ship very similar to the majestic called mikasa its a very beautiful ship, you will find her in yokosuka, but i do agree it gives thunderchild a bit more bang to its thunder where the crew of the ship carry on going despite being choked by the smoke
Yeah, the 1952 and 2005 War of the Worlds movies. American adaptations tend to like artistic liberty too much in my opinion. I wish they would just be more faithful to the original setting and elements. The new BBC series at least took place in Victorian England I believe, but even then it still had its problems. Even had the black smoke at least! Regardless, I've just rarely seen visual adaptations of Thunder Child in general. This manga and t Jeff Wayne's musical visual cues focus entire sections on this scene, and now I've never seen a cooler "boat." Haha I don't know much about ships, so thanks for sharing that info! I should have paid more attention when I went to Yokosuka. :o
The Thunderchild was weird. Drachenfeild did a video on it, but it’s described as being a torpedo ram, an ironclad, and having guns large enough to decimate a fishing boat. A combination that didn’t exist irl (the only torpedo ram to enter British service had very light armor and armament). Jeff Wayne’s version wasn’t even accurate in that sense (he depicts her as a Canopus-class battleship). So, imo it’s very open to interpretation and artistic liberty there
@@sirboomsalot4902 In a way, it shows how good he was at anticipating certain developments of military technology. At the time of writing, dreadnoughts weren't a thing yet. He looked at the most modern ship of his time and thought "I'll go with that, except I am sure that in the near future, all viable combat ships will need huge guns"
It's my favorite in the album! Many Americans may not know about it (including me before this year), but it became my favorite concept album earlier this year. I highly recommend checking it out. :)
I can picture the captain of Thunderchild probably saying to his crew: We might die this day lads, but by god we are going to take as many of those Martians down with us
What a coincidence. :o Most people don't know about it, probably in or outside Japan. I'd definitely recommend it since there are only two volumes out, covering about a half of the original novel so far.
@@Edgast256 Sadly, I'm probably one of the few who even know about it outside of Japan. I don't see an official non-Japanese version coming out. I'm working on a fan translation document that I'd be happy to distribute for free to read alongside the official manga (I won't distribute scans though). There is an Amazon JP link to them in the description if you are still interested. If you're familiar with the original story, it's not very hard to follow along at least. :)
They've only recently started getting recommended to people I guess. I'd love to make a video giving my thoughts on the series so far. Volume 3 is coming out in a few months I believe.
(Reminder, I did not create the manga or the music). I like them too! The manga was written by Sai Ishihara but drawn by Hitotsu Yokoshima (who created the Kamen Rider Kuuga series I believe).
My dad always played Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds in the car for us during long drives, and now seeing it on top of a manga is a really cool mesh between the two. I had no idea this existed!
I own them, but I would like to support the official release, so I provided a link to their Amazon JP listing (ships to U.S. at least) in the video description, if you're really interested. I liked it as it followed the original novel much more. The author on Twitter is a big proponent of the novel and letting people know more about it. :)
Not so much a mistake as it is just a different adaptation. There are several other differences in the story, but most other adaptations don't even have Thunder Child to begin with.
Shipboard guns from a small ironclad can kill the fighting machines along with battery fire from field guns . They can be killed , which means that a organized front could be mounted , just gotta find a gas mask with a closed system to stop the black smoke .
The fighting machines keep adapting to our tactics was the problem. After the artillery crew managed a kill they used black smoke to flush them out ahead of approach, keeping artillery lines from being set up. After the Thunder Child defeated several, they responded by launching flying machines, which battleships had no answer for at the time
God bless HMS Thunderchild and the honourable men that sailed with her till she hit the bottom of the sea! I need Translated version ASAP! The BBC one was absolute trash.
It may be a fictional ship, but I have never cared more about a boat than I have before for some reason. Haha It really does mark humanity's last stand in the original story in an epic way as this was literally the strongest weapon they had against the Martians in this time period.
@@TayoEXE HMS Thunderchild showed humanity's tenacity to live and exist. Even when all the odds were against us, we will fight till the last piece of our war machines stop moving. It was really teary reading this part as this was an old vintage Dreadnought, its still a formidable ship as some fought in World War 2 and survived but its in no way shape or form a capable Naval vessel for such a fight but yet it took on three Tripods before sinking gloriously. It was really something.
The selections from this video are scans I did myself. I put a link in the description for where I bought my copy of volumes 1 and 2 if anyone is interested. :)
I feel like the most realistic depiction of the martian invasion from War of the Worlds would actually be the rumbling. Setting and threat aside, those scenes of the panic, chaos, death, and destruction are exactly how I imagine it
Iirc in the book the Tripods come up the Thames at some point (I think the River Blackwater is earlier in the book) and the naval battle is off the coast of I forget where lol
Totally agree! That's why I put it together. I wish there was a movie or TV adaptation that actually had this scene. Let's hope for a War of the Worlds anime or something. Haha
It's pretty good :) I apologize for not posting more of my translation. I've been dealing with a lot this last year, but lots of new and good things are starting soon. New job, new home, family, etc. Hope you enjoy it too!
I scanned the images from the pages of my copy of the manga, translated the scenes, put it together with the audio of the musical, which only contained a few sfx I believe, but the rest of the sfx I found online and noted in the description of their sources. Basically, I didn't create any of the individual parts, but I did edit it all together.
As far as I'm aware, there isn't technically an "official" design of the original fighting machines beyond the novel's text description. I found a post on Reddit by Quoissantu who compiled a list of descriptions that's pretty cool though. Post: Fighting-Machines: Appearance: * a monstrous tripod * legs have knees * like a dish cover * articulate ropes of steel dangling from it * also described as long, flexible, glittering tentacles that can grip things * brazen hood that can swivel, which is distinct from the main body * every part of the machine can fit underneath * giant, white metal fisher basket on back * puffs of green smoke squirt from joints * body like aluminum * described by one man as “boilers on stilts” * Martian pilot is visible from the outside with effort (most likely through glass) * cowled * bleeds a ruddy brown Armament: * kind-of arm with complicated, camera-like metallic case * case flashes green and has a funnel at one end that shoots heat ray * jets that shoot superheated steam that turns the black smoke to powder Height: * higher than many houses * nearly a hundred feet high Movement: * seen traveling half a mile in roughly 1 minute (\~30mph) (\~48kph) * capable of moving at the speed of an express-train (30mph/48kph) * this is according to newspapers * as fast as a flying bird * moves with a rolling motion * it might gallop? * moves uncontrollably when killed in motion * legs can retract Sound: * calls “Aloo! Aloo!” * makes siren noises when upset * makes “Ulla!” sounds, or “ululations,” when calling for help Also, there are the Alvim Corrêa illustrations that gave them the original image of a water tower.
@@elitemook4234The Correa design is actually the second design, and while it was Well’s favorite that doesn’t mean it’s the official one. They are my favorite design too but I’m open to others at least
I assume you're referring to New Generation from 2012 with Liam Neeson? This is my favorite version, which is from a 2006 live performance of the original album, with the original Richard Burton narration. :)
Yes, the two American-made movies from 1953 and 2005 are based on the novel, but much more loosely. They are set in then modern America, for starters, but the Martians end up dying because of bacteria like in the novel. The Heat Ray is a common element too. However, the original novel is set in England around 1899, so no force fields, and a much different plot. Jeff Wayne's musical and this manga are examples of adaptations that took less liberties and were much more faithful to the book. To answer your question, the movies are so different probably because American directors and producers had less confidence that the original story would be interesting enough to mainstream local audiences. Same issue with other live action adaptations in the U.S. All the budget, but all the director's vision.
On your death beds... would you not give all for a chance... just one chance... to stand before impossible odds... and valiantly scream. *you shall not pass!* ... I would give anything... *anything* to live for that instant... against impossible odds... to deny the enemy... and *blast my life* ... I never, never will have a chance to be valiant... curses... curses... curses....
@Randomusername56782 I'll be honest, I know nothing about ships so I don't really pay attention to the details about what kind it's been written as in various adaptations. 😅
I'm only aware of an official French and Russian translation beyond Japanese. I haven't checked in a while though. I translated the portions on screen that I showed though.
Mm, not quite sure I know which part you're referring to? 3:40 shows what was in the manga for the Heat Ray taking down Thunder Child. I have another video where the Heat Ray is first fired from the Martian cylinder too. The manga's version of the Heat Ray is depicted more like an extremely hot laser. Kind of interesting to see all the different depictions.
@@TayoEXE Well, I was referring to Heat Ray solo in the musical. It comes after the Journalist say: “Instantly, the others raised their heat ray, and melted the Thunderchild’s Valiant Heart.”
Oh, you mean the solo in the song with the heat ray sounds. Gotcha! There wasn't enough material in the manga to match it up, but I also didn't intend to use the whole song, just what was needed.
Yeah, sorry. Haha I love that part too. The events and sequences are not exact between the two, but they are some of the very few adaptations that even include Thunder Child, so gotta make do with what you've got I suppose. Haha

@@Edgast256 Sadly, I'm probably one of the few who even know about it outside of Japan. I don't see an official non-Japanese version coming out. I'm working on a fan translation document that I'd be happy to distribute for free to read alongside the official manga (I won't distribute scans though). There is an Amazon JP link to them in the description if you are still interested. If you're familiar with the original story, it's not very hard to follow along at least. :)
@@TayoEXE Thank you very much :D
*"Then perhaps today IS a good day to die! PREPARE FOR RAMMING SPEED!"*
Thunderchild is just a badass
Does, anyone else get all tirey when this part of the book comes up?
😭Thunderchild!😢
👽🔫
Holy shit, I had no idea this existed! Amazing : )
I live this manga and j hope it gets printed il buy one
It's printed in Japanese, but yeah, I hope it gets an official English translation someday!
@@TayoEXEme too bruh
Thank you for uploading this I love it 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Wow, how did I not know of these after all these months
They've only recently started getting recommended to people I guess. I'd love to make a video giving my thoughts on the series so far. Volume 3 is coming out in a few months I believe.
Truly amazing to see it drawn this way.
Very nice drawing! Love it!
(Reminder, I did not create the manga or the music). I like them too! The manga was written by Sai Ishihara but drawn by Hitotsu Yokoshima (who created the Kamen Rider Kuuga series I believe).
Thunderchild: FEEL THE WRATH OF THE IMPERIUM!
My dad always played Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds in the car for us during long drives, and now seeing it on top of a manga is a really cool mesh between the two. I had no idea this existed!
Omfg I didn't even know there was a WotW manga O_O God bless Japan!
On god💀
Jeff Wayne take note
I'm still hoping for that Jeff Wayne movie version. One day.
...There's a fucking manga? Holy shit. This is awesome.
Right?? Three volumes even. Hopefully we get an official English release! Otherwise, I'll translate the rest myself~
@@TayoEXE Much appreciated! Got a link? I'd love to read.
I own them, but I would like to support the official release, so I provided a link to their Amazon JP listing (ships to U.S. at least) in the video description, if you're really interested. I liked it as it followed the original novel much more. The author on Twitter is a big proponent of the novel and letting people know more about it. :)
Literally 😭
I spotted a mistake, in the story, Thunderchild took down 3 Tripods, and here it takes down only 2.
Not so much a mistake as it is just a different adaptation. There are several other differences in the story, but most other adaptations don't even have Thunder Child to begin with.
Tripods: existing
Thunderchild: *Wanna have a bad time?-*
There needs to be an amine sci fi series based on the Thunderchild!
Shipboard guns from a small ironclad can kill the fighting machines along with battery fire from field guns . They can be killed , which means that a organized front could be mounted , just gotta find a gas mask with a closed system to stop the black smoke .
an ironclad dreadnaught i suppose
The fighting machines keep adapting to our tactics was the problem. After the artillery crew managed a kill they used black smoke to flush them out ahead of approach, keeping artillery lines from being set up. After the Thunder Child defeated several, they responded by launching flying machines, which battleships had no answer for at the time
gassmasks didnt exist then
Man I got chills from this
Come on Thunder Child! We'll go down together and we'll go down fighting!
God bless HMS Thunderchild and the honourable men that sailed with her till she hit the bottom of the sea!
I need Translated version ASAP! The BBC one was absolute trash.
It may be a fictional ship, but I have never cared more about a boat than I have before for some reason. Haha It really does mark humanity's last stand in the original story in an epic way as this was literally the strongest weapon they had against the Martians in this time period.
@@TayoEXE HMS Thunderchild showed humanity's tenacity to live and exist. Even when all the odds were against us, we will fight till the last piece of our war machines stop moving. It was really teary reading this part as this was an old vintage Dreadnought, its still a formidable ship as some fought in World War 2 and survived but its in no way shape or form a capable Naval vessel for such a fight but yet it took on three Tripods before sinking gloriously. It was really something.
Yes comic I love it

_"Oh? You're approaching me?"_
* "I can't ram the shit out of you without getting closer." *
cant wait for war of the worlds anime so we can see thunderchild wreak three tirpods.
By the way, where do you found this? Can you show more of this manga? I was looking it for years
The selections from this video are scans I did myself. I put a link in the description for where I bought my copy of volumes 1 and 2 if anyone is interested. :)
@@TayoEXE thank you so much!
@@TayoEXE great interpretation by the artist, really telling the story accurately and you have synced it up perfectly with the auio - props to you!
Where did you get this comic, is there any E-book of it??
Info is in the description!
I feel like the most realistic depiction of the martian invasion from War of the Worlds would actually be the rumbling. Setting and threat aside, those scenes of the panic, chaos, death, and destruction are exactly how I imagine it
I'm pretty sure the battle takes place on the river Blackwater, not the Thames. But I'm fine with changing it.
In the manga, it is the Thames at least. I just translated what was shown on there.
Iirc in the book the Tripods come up the Thames at some point (I think the River Blackwater is earlier in the book) and the naval battle is off the coast of I forget where lol
RAAHHH MY FAVORITE SCENARIO
I'm not a fan of how the tripods look in this but other then that this looks great I may wanna buy this my self one day and take a read :)
This is epic!
Totally agree! That's why I put it together. I wish there was a movie or TV adaptation that actually had this scene. Let's hope for a War of the Worlds anime or something. Haha
Well done.
Ganbare Thunderchild!!!
There’s your storyboard right here
Why is this better than a recent BBC effort , because it is 😎
I did not know there was a manga for the war of the worlds so I HAD to buy it💀
It's pretty good :) I apologize for not posting more of my translation. I've been dealing with a lot this last year, but lots of new and good things are starting soon. New job, new home, family, etc.
Hope you enjoy it too!
the thundrchild took out 3 tripods the 3rd one being when it exploded as it was sinking
Jeff Wayne’s musical war of the worlds
Martian tripods 👽
I'm certainly not a fan of anime or manga, but this was well done, did you do the sound effects yourself? If so, well done
I scanned the images from the pages of my copy of the manga, translated the scenes, put it together with the audio of the musical, which only contained a few sfx I believe, but the rest of the sfx I found online and noted in the description of their sources. Basically, I didn't create any of the individual parts, but I did edit it all together.
@@TayoEXE it's seamless, well done
Imagine if HMS ThunderChild Appears On War Of The Worlds Goliath Movie
This manga would have been perfect if it only wen't with the origonal design for the Martian fighting machines.
As far as I'm aware, there isn't technically an "official" design of the original fighting machines beyond the novel's text description. I found a post on Reddit by Quoissantu who compiled a list of descriptions that's pretty cool though.
Post:
Fighting-Machines:
Appearance:
* a monstrous tripod
* legs have knees
* like a dish cover
* articulate ropes of steel dangling from it
* also described as long, flexible, glittering tentacles that can grip things
* brazen hood that can swivel, which is distinct from the main body
* every part of the machine can fit underneath
* giant, white metal fisher basket on back
* puffs of green smoke squirt from joints
* body like aluminum
* described by one man as “boilers on stilts”
* Martian pilot is visible from the outside with effort (most likely through glass)
* cowled
* bleeds a ruddy brown
Armament:
* kind-of arm with complicated, camera-like metallic case
* case flashes green and has a funnel at one end that shoots heat ray
* jets that shoot superheated steam that turns the black smoke to powder
Height:
* higher than many houses
* nearly a hundred feet high
Movement:
* seen traveling half a mile in roughly 1 minute (\~30mph) (\~48kph)
* capable of moving at the speed of an express-train (30mph/48kph)
* this is according to newspapers
* as fast as a flying bird
* moves with a rolling motion
* it might gallop?
* moves uncontrollably when killed in motion
* legs can retract
Sound:
* calls “Aloo! Aloo!”
* makes siren noises when upset
* makes “Ulla!” sounds, or “ululations,” when calling for help
Also, there are the Alvim Corrêa illustrations that gave them the original image of a water tower.
@@TayoEXE The Correa Tripod is the origonal design and the one offically supported by the Author of the novel.
@@elitemook4234 The one that looks like a water tower? That's the _worst_ of the designs!
@@elitemook4234The Correa design is actually the second design, and while it was Well’s favorite that doesn’t mean it’s the official one. They are my favorite design too but I’m open to others at least
Hey, do you still have dbz uncut recordings from 05? If so let me know I've got lots of rare stuff you may like
I wish the original music had been used, instead of the 'modern' version, but this was great. :)
I assume you're referring to New Generation from 2012 with Liam Neeson? This is my favorite version, which is from a 2006 live performance of the original album, with the original Richard Burton narration. :)
Is the movie with Tom cruise also based on the original book??? If yes why is the movie so much different then the manga?
Yes, the two American-made movies from 1953 and 2005 are based on the novel, but much more loosely. They are set in then modern America, for starters, but the Martians end up dying because of bacteria like in the novel. The Heat Ray is a common element too. However, the original novel is set in England around 1899, so no force fields, and a much different plot. Jeff Wayne's musical and this manga are examples of adaptations that took less liberties and were much more faithful to the book.
To answer your question, the movies are so different probably because American directors and producers had less confidence that the original story would be interesting enough to mainstream local audiences. Same issue with other live action adaptations in the U.S. All the budget, but all the director's vision.
On your death beds... would you not give all for a chance... just one chance... to stand before impossible odds... and valiantly scream. *you shall not pass!* ... I would give anything... *anything* to live for that instant... against impossible odds... to deny the enemy... and *blast my life* ... I never, never will have a chance to be valiant... curses... curses... curses....
The thunderchild of 🗾
Is this manga getting an english translation? If so. Where can i buy it????
The wall-to-wall
What version of the war of the worlds musical is this it sounds different..
It's from the 2006 live DVD performance which happens to be my favorite version.
Dear tayoexe I saved the screenshot of this comic and I want it for next Christmas
Whats funny is that according to the book the thunderchild isnt even a proper BB, imagine what a majestic class would be capable of doing.
@Randomusername56782 I'll be honest, I know nothing about ships so I don't really pay attention to the details about what kind it's been written as in various adaptations. 😅
Where i can learn or buy this manga
Give me a drink bartender
Yea buddy
This really looks like CGI 2:25

SRW when?
Is this an official manga?
Yes, it's real. There are three volumes, but it was only localized into French and Russian to my knowledge.
WHAT
DO YOU MEAN
THERE'S A MANGA ADAPTATION
There is. :) No English localization to my knowledge but I own all three volumes (the scans in the video are from my personal copy).
kinda sucks that no one will translate this manga
At least, officially. I'm sorry I'm so slow. I've got a lot on my plate lately.
The comis it's in English?
I'm only aware of an official French and Russian translation beyond Japanese. I haven't checked in a while though. I translated the portions on screen that I showed though.
I hope you don’t mind that I have used this
No, you're good. 👌
Here it is ruclips.net/video/hwL2b1oWT9w/видео.html
😭Thunderchild!😢
👽🔫
😎😎😎
No Heat Ray solo?
Mm, not quite sure I know which part you're referring to? 3:40 shows what was in the manga for the Heat Ray taking down Thunder Child. I have another video where the Heat Ray is first fired from the Martian cylinder too. The manga's version of the Heat Ray is depicted more like an extremely hot laser. Kind of interesting to see all the different depictions.
@@TayoEXE Well, I was referring to Heat Ray solo in the musical. It comes after the Journalist say: “Instantly, the others raised their heat ray, and melted the Thunderchild’s Valiant Heart.”
Oh, you mean the solo in the song with the heat ray sounds. Gotcha! There wasn't enough material in the manga to match it up, but I also didn't intend to use the whole song, just what was needed.
@@TayoEXE Ah. So the solo wouldn’t have fit in the video with the Manga. Makes sense.
Yeah, sorry. Haha I love that part too. The events and sequences are not exact between the two, but they are some of the very few adaptations that even include Thunder Child, so gotta make do with what you've got I suppose. Haha
โว้วว
this is an inferior version of the song in my opinion but this is still pretty cool
That's alright. It's just my personal favorite version.
