The Problem With Sakamoto Days
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Sakamoto Days been getting a lot of success recently, and for good reason. The fights are fantastic, the character writing is solid, and the general vibe of the manga literally oozes aura. Couple that with fan favorites like Nagumo, Sakamoto, Shin, Gaku and Takamura (RIP) stealing the show every time they're on screen, and you have a recipe for a hit manga. But beneath all the positives and beyond my glazing of Nagumo, lies Sakamoto Days' biggest problem, being it's rushed endings, so I figured that I'd talk about it today.

The real issue with sakamoto days is how Lu got sidelined
True
She realy went from main character to "who?... ohh her! Yeah, i do know that name" which was my actual reaction to reading your comment.
My girl got the Sakura treatment
@@loopy8241 Akira might as well be the female lead atp
TRUE!! I've been thinking bout this lately
So as a person who binged the entire series in a few days I can say that the loose ends are left loose to be tied up in later arcs. From the perspective of a reader seeing this as one continuous story instead of an arc, I'm not troubled
Thank you I just started reading it so, this gives me peace of mind.
the museum arc would've really benefitted from just one more chapter genuinely
My biggest disappointment with the Museum arc was that we could've had the best Sakamoto vs fight in the series cause this was a literal exhibition of assassin weapons and imagine how crazy Sakamoto would've gone in a whole ass museum full of assassin weapons.
Bro I had the same idea there was so many opportunities with the museum setting that most action anime’s don’t do. Plus it could have been used as a major upgrade to characters like shin and kaji.
Yeah, the ending to the museum arc was definitely jarring. Not getting explanations for what happened to a large chunk of the cast was very odd. I remember reading the chapter after it ended and being somewhat confused. My guess is that Suzuki wanted the arc to end on a high note with takamuras death, and since he could easily explain what happened to other characters later on, he decided to move on. That’s just a guess tho. I gotta disagree with you on the flashback arc tho. I thought setting up the mystery with what happened to akao was great, and we already got to see sakamoto and nagumos relationship origins earlier in the arc so I’m not disappointed in not seeing their start in the order.
Fr, the arc started off so good, but by the ending i felt like i expected more, still a great arc tho
So much left unexplained for Kumanomi & Osaragi HOLY! First Osaragi shows up with a new buzz saw after her weapon was rusted by Mafuyu. She attacks Amane and practically ignores Kumanomi who the Order got a description of beforehand. Several Chapters later, Amane got away from Osaragi who was gripping him by the neck and the way she gets dealt with is literally the same thing we already saw.
Just wow...
Yeah even the next few chapters with Rion add Uzuki flashback and K meeting up with his group again it's just kinda weird like somethings missing or was cut out but still good nonetheless narratively speaking
The issue for me is less about individual arcs having rushed endings but rather the series itself feeling like its approaching the "endgame" too fast. We went from the confrontation in the museum arc to the JAA hunting Sakamoto to Uzuki slaughtering JAA branches in just a couple of chapters. It feels like its the final arc right now and if thats the intent of the author then its fine I guess but I am really hoping for at least a couple more arcs.
I really hope Suzuki will take a break for a bit and doesn't end up like Togashi when he was finishing YYH
I am just realy happy with the series not ending because at some point one could get the feeling as if it was the endgame
I disagree. The flashback arc was okay; it wasn't rushed. But for the museum arc, Suzuki sensei could've shown us what happened to the Seba brothers, Amane, Kashima, Gaku, Kumanomi, and many others. Uzuki's situation will probably be shown later on. And in recent chapters, we've seen Shishiba and Osaragi with the new Order members and stuff meanwhile Nagumo, Sakamoto, and Shin have teamed up together which is very interesting. Let's see what happens next and maybe we'll see where the other characters are at right now.
It's funny you mentioned solving it's biggest issue could help it reach jjk level when one of jjk major complaints (not from me though)is that it's too fast paced
I wasn't bothered by the flashback arc. But yeah the museum was really jarring. I think it would have been fine had Takamura not died that fast. Every other thing with amane and kumamomy would be forgiven
The pacing is just off in general tbh like at some points its too fast past and at other points its not fast enough…Like Sukuna fight is kinda dragged. I felt like some of the fights in the culling game were dragged to no end.
JJK's only hope is that when MAPPA has fully adapted it, the studio has given it better pacing and atleast a few small anime original scenes of character interaction since Gege for some reason hates writing em.
@@jordangreene8125nah the pacing is perfect how you guys don’t like it this makes the story more interesting you guys just stuck on the now not the alter bro this top manga by far
@@M-bn2cv I can still like a manga and admit the pacing is off at times…to act like theres not hella shit the mangaka needed to expand on before ending the series is insane…
@@jordangreene8125 the series isn’t ended I’m confused what do you need clarification on
My hope is the anime will try to fix some of these issues..if Suzuki is more involved with it I hope he add some extra content .
Sakamoto days is a S tier C+ manga what it does well it does at the top of manga..but what it lacks is very easy to pick up and critique. With all that said. I love this Manga and cant wait for the anime
All this video does is show how any fanbase of a manga that releases weekly likes to complain. You, the reader, do not have to know everything, right now. For how much you compliment the entire arc, you harp on the fact that small loose ends aren’t tied up right away. All of the “rushed” accusations mean nothing when you accept that this manga does not have to answer you right away. Let the story play out.
That doesn’t change the fact that the ending to the arc was rushed and poor in execution and had a lot of underwhelming conclusions.
So you didn't watch the video?? The complaint is not about never getting answers to the overarching plot, its about missed details of what happened to the characters inside the museum during the final fight.
There is literally no way the author will go back and explain what exactly went on to the side characters lol. The conclusions were rushed, it has nothing to do with the plot itself.
I agree with your points and I hope Suzuki and the editor are aware of it.
In some cases like Sakamoto's past it might just be a part of his writing style and he's restraining himself from telling us everything so soon but in the case of the most recent arc I think it's a flaw and it deserved a longer finale.
I hope Suzuki gets better at it because in the art department specially the fight choreography he's already one of the best in the magazine.
I definitely think the anime will fix the ending issues, you can really drag on a lot more and put more drama and idk, impact on certain moments? But part of me also kinda feels like how "quickly" it ends almost feels like a tiny bit of a reality check in a way, like how fast people can just get dispatched in this series. I think it could've benefitted from a couple more chapters but I also don't really mind how it ended
they should have added a chapter or two before we got into chapter 162 or given us more of a reaction from Shishiba, Osaragi, Kumanomi and other characters after hearing the announcement in chapter 163.
Perhaps they realised it too late, wanting to end the arc with Takamura's battle...
I mean I can see your point about it I still enjoy the series but I can see your point
The flashback arc's quick timeskips make since to me, Sakamoto is telling this story to Shin, so he doesn't really need to dwell on how he became the greatest hitman or his time in the Order. He needs to tell Shin how he met Uzuki, what he did, and how Sakamoto thought he killed him. His time in the order or what happens in-between that and the one year doesn't matter because Sakamoto is catching Shin up on the importants about X
Disagree with Flashback arc, but museum arc's ending get rushed . Although I like how Suzuki handle Mr.Takamura's death Uzuki's personality copy power . But like you say , this arc het rushed so hard. Same happened with One piece Wano arc, everything is best, but ending gets rushed
Takamura's death had 2 other ways to be executed and what we got was ass.
He reminds me of oda where the arc is amazing but than he drops the ball on the ending
Nah, the TRUE problem is that there is no anime adaptation for this awesome looking manga.
you won’t say rushed but bad ending instead to the arc
Love your videos you should drop more often
Watching this after being caught up. Ok I’m not going to lie the museum situation was a little all over the place and honestly I just didn’t like how they brought in Kaji 130 chapters in. I did enjoy the nuance motives and intentions though no one is really good or bad they are just doing their jobs. I don’t like Uzuki though at all. His ability to take out Mr. T was kindve an ass pull. Seeing as no one else seems to depend on a mental disorder. Everyone just has a skill that’s magnified x10.
To be honest, for me Sakamoto Days has good characters with good characterization but they lack depth in them and at the moment the slur does not convince me as a villain. I thought this arc would benefit from going into more depth, but ultimately that wasn't the case (or rather not as much as I expected) plus I was disappointed with this ending to the arc, so to fully appreciate the manga I decided to just watch it as a John Wick with good action and great characters.
It was revealed he's not the villain in the museum arc wtf
Even with the flaws. i.m.o. I still think this arc is up there with other shonen arcs like shibuya
I like ur diary of a wimpy kid pfp 😭
the anime could fix these problems when they get covered
Do you guys think Gaku is dead?
Nope. He’s too important to the story to be dead rn
Agree, I think this also applies to the Bangkok and Serial killer arcs, so yes basically every arc
Like we never got an answer on what happened to apart
@@francescoresinelli4110 Isn't apart living with the Sakamoto's now or did he leave. I kinda forgot.
That's the point we dont know unfortunately
Imma be real apart wasn't even that important to the story imo@@francescoresinelli4110
💀 come on now, it clearly states one person disappeared at the end of the arc so it would have to be Apart.
wait i forgor shishiba kissed the floor who did it to him ?
Carolina Reaper did with his gas saber
Especially at the beginning it’s one pro killer after the next that gets beaten down by the gang or order
when sakamoto fought uzuki he was still not the top 1 assasin
i think you're wrong
Aside from the loose ends on Kumanomi & Osaragi's staring contest. The elaboration on how Uzuki saved himself didn't actually provide new information nor did it make up for the jump in speed.
i agree it felt rushed at the ending and it def had the potential to live up to the shibuya incident but i personally think that because we compare this arc to the shibuya arc is why we feel a bit let down. The shibuya arc was almost a 10/10 and the entirety of jjk was building up to it where as in this museum arc it was much much less built up thats my take on this i still liked the arc and i think its a 7-8/10 the ending and the amount of off screen events bumps it down a few points.
I'd still give the arc like a solid high 8 or a low 9. Had we had like ten or more extra chapters of content for this covering everything it woulf have been easy 10. But since Suzuki sensei will explain what went down exactly later anyways I'm willing to bump it up to low to mid 9/10 out in retrospect.
I just didn't like that takamura died
honestly we just have to wait and see cus its still kinda early
It isn't just the endings of some arcs, the pacing of the entire manga is just really rushed.
Bro this dude take was stupid I get your got a opinion I through the arc was perfect ending everything leading into the next one you just hate they probly smoked your favorite character and then they took out old man was even more bad ass he killed himself which is even cooler to show the gap there is a lot that is good in here never really seen any bad you just a hater
Copy abilities are overdone and kind of lame. Having the strongest person in the verse being copied to kill that person was a super lame and rushed way to end an amazing arc
I wouldn't really call it copy ability I mean Suzuki Sensei already said Uzuki has a mental disorder 😂 and split personality
i disagree i think you have to wait for other chapters to release to see how it concludes before criticizing.
Also it didn’t feel it rushed imo it ended abruptly because of a twist no one saw coming and took all the characters by surprise, which inevitably changed everyone’s goals at the museum.
(Edit : It did feel rushed but i think that was on purpose)
Sakamoto Days & Solo Leveling the most overrated anime of these passed couple years
Sakamoto days anime ain't even out
@@Mateo_Vert right
I don't understand how someone can complain about an anime that hasn't been released yet
When I saw the comment for this one I'm like that makes no sense because Sakamoto days hasn't been released yet. If you just said the manga then that's his opinion that's fine but he went about the anime sakamoto days anime didn't come out yet what the crap
Bruh SD anime ain't even out yet and the manga definitely deserves more recognition cause the choreography and settings in the fights are better than JJK imo.
I agree with solo leveling but def not sakamoto days
@@rand12389the story is pretty underrated imo I get the museum arc was rushed but the rest of the arcs are definitely in the 7,8,9/10 ranges
Besides I believe Suzuki Sensei will explain what happened to half of the cast in the museum arc really soon if it's explained well and collocates to the story I'll bump up the museum arc from a 6/10 to 7.5/10 tbh
