Rest everything is from Manhwa so don't argue about 1st, 3rd and 4th point āš»
Well I know Eli was never a saint, but he was never truly evil either. For the longest time, he sat firmly in the morally grey zone - neither good nor bad.
Lately though, heās been sliding way too hard toward the dark side, to the point where itās genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
I've already brought this up about the Busan arc ā how Eli and Vin Jin went way too far with the brutality. The justification back then was that Eli thought they were trafficking minors, and okay, I bought that excuse.
But what about now?
Eli himself openly admitted that he doesnāt give a flying fuck about the Workers. He came only because Daniel asked him to bcz of Kitae. And the moment he arrived, what did he do? He went straight for breaking a Kingās neck. ā ļø
The only reason that King survived was because of his fighting style. Eli even made it clear that he intentionally ensured the King wouldnāt get back up ā and then proceeded to gouge his eyes. ā ļø
Yes, those Kings are evil. Yes, theyāve murdered people. But that had nothing to do with Eli That Eli will avenge them and anyway didn't Eli say that he doesnāt care about the Workers. That King wasnāt about to kill him, or Eli was forced to try and kill him. He made multiple clear attempts to kill someone for no real reason.
Thatās not ābrutality.ā Thatās a straight-up murder attempt.
This is probably why I hate Eli. And by āhate,ā I mean I donāt like him not actually hate him.. {he's still cool though}
I think all this was unnecessary and forced as Eli could have handled it way easily - I believe he can do that but he intentionally didn't..
And that gay fat fuck - ngl, I was so cringed by him that I was wishing someone slap some sense in him and Eli did it.. {I felt so satisfied there...}. Though, ironically he got what he wanted - his cheeks clapped by Eli.. š
I guess this might really be time when we see how strong James is...
And it was pretty cool idea to bring Gen 0 in Worker's HQ as it doesn't interfere with 2nd Gen Worker power scaling much and they might actually be strong fighters although James would be folding them in next chapters irrespective of how strong they are..
BTW the black moustache guy and the one who met Eugene of Pre gen, don't you find their character design a bit familiar and unique..? From the black moustache guy I got Mujin vibe from him but then I realised nah he looks much like Omni man.. {with more beard} š And the the other one gives Elite vibes..
The concept of UI & TUI is so freaking intimidating...
Like just think their base UI mode is already significantly strong to give any top tier a high diff fight at the very least and in case the UI user gets defeated - He'll enter unconscious UI mode where his physical stats gets multiplied numerous times and there's no concept of being tired for him but the opponent will already be a little to significantly tired by fighting his base ui mode.. How the hell is anyone supposed to defeat this type of monster..
Particularly Gun.. Just count how many top tier abilities he has - Base UI - Adrenaline mode - Path - Masteries - Black Bones - TUI - Peak Hardware - Peak software - Peak potential If all that isn't enough he keeps getting stronger constantly cuz he keeps training {Training Genius}
Is there anything left aside from conviction that Gun doesn't have...{Blud I know what Gun doesn't have - I'm just being sarcastic as he have most of the top tier abilities}
Iād honestly love to see Johanās reaction after taking even one hit from Kitae.
The trolling toward Johan is completely ridiculous. He hasnāt met, seen, or even heard about Kitae, so his superiority-complex delusion is totally valid from his perspective. But Kitae wouldnāt be listening to excuses ā if Johan ends up fighting him, then heās genuinely cooked.
Just look at Kitaeās average feats:
- Humbled Jichang Kwak with a single punch - Obliterated SB Daniel with one low-effort kick - Caught Zack without even looking at him while Zack was going all out and ofc one-tapped him - One shotted Vasco and Vin Jin - One shotted KOB (with or without conviction) - Took numerous direct hits from multiple characters and didnāt even flinchāforget damage, he didnāt even react...
With feats like this, Johan losing with peak humiliation is almost guaranteed. If he somehow puts up a good fight or manages to damage Kitae, that would actually be surprising.
The only scenario where this becomes interesting is if Johan and Daniel team up. Together, they might have a real chance of recreating Johan vs Gun situation..
Hmm⦠so I posted a post (that sounded odd) where I said Goo has neither a Path nor Masteries, which I genuinely believed at the timeābut I guess I was wrong.
Some of you said that Goo does have a Path or Masteries, but nobody clearly mentioned where.. So I decided to look it up myself, and hereās what I found.
In the 2nd picture, a Chinese word appears with no explanation, just randomly placed in between the fight for a single panel. That word means something related to a path or road and in the Lookism verse, that clearly translates to Path.
So Goo most likely does have a Path, itās just never properly explained or mentioned anywhere in Lookism. His Path is probably related to his skill/ability {whatever you call it} to use literally anything as a weapon.
Now, about Masteries. Throughout the entire story, Goo has never clearly shown any confirmed Masteries. However, we can assume some things based on very small hints.
In the 3rd picture, his first sword technique has a very light shade of pink or purplish pink. And in the 1st panel, you can see two colors red and blue. So the assumption is red one is from Paecheon Jo and Blue one is from Goo depicting his speed mastery
Which all makes sense cuz Goo is extremely fast.. Though, it's not confirmed in words like it happens for other characters..
I just had to show you this side of the coin, cuz a lot of you actually agreed with me āwhich means you also didnāt know about it...
Jokes aside, I've a strong feeling that we might see path duo vs Kitae by the end of this arc and Kitae would face quite good difficulties fighting them just like Gun vs Johan
Welcome back to āLookism Community in a Nutshellā {part ā Unknown}
So Iāll get straight to the point.
Nowadays, you can find three types of people in this community:
- The ones who are just reading the chapters and understanding the story - The ones who are pissed because KOJ killed Mandeok, so now heās a fraud {reason being : he defeated a damaged Mandeok} - The ones who have a problem with people sympathising with Mandeok because heās an āevilā character
People who lie in the 1st category are doing fine šš»
So letās start with KOJ being called a fraud.
Are you guys stupid or what!?
Every fight is not for powerscaling. This fight was meant to show how deadly KOJās skills are. From the very start, he was introduced as the most dangerous {Arguably Strongest} King, given the type of intro he got, and itās still the same now. Whether Mandeok was damaged, tired, or perfectly fine, the result wouldāve been exactly the same as what weāre witnessing right now.
If you follow this trashy logic to declare someone a fraud, then let me add some more characters youāre conveniently skipping out of pure bias:
- Gun defeated extremely tired Workers in the Hunt for Big Deal arc. Yeah, he later defeated them again in Hunt for Gun Park, but nobody was calling Gun a fraud back then.
-Goo defeated a tired Paecheon Jo.
-James defeated a tired Allied in Hunt for Big Deal.
-Kitae defeated tired Busan Gang No. 5, No. 6, Allied, and Jinlang.
So what about them?
Hope you get it now - it doesnāt matter whether Workers, Paecheon Jo, Allied, or the Busan Gang were tired or not. Gun would still have bullied them, Goo with his new technique would still have mauled Paecheon Jo, James wouldnāt even need to take his hands out of his pockets to demolish Allied, and Kitae would still have murdered them.
Because all of those fights were meant to show how deadly their skills are and how dangerous they are.
And one more thing. If this guy can murder a crew-head level character this easily, and if heās actually the one who took Tomās hand, or at least he gives Tom some serious difficulty and kills him ā then Eli isnāt doing shit against him. And since weāre on the topic of Eli glazing, what exactly makes you think heās the 3rd strongest 2nd Gen? Be precise, because I genuinely donāt remember any feat or narrative that confirms him as the 3rd strongest.
Now the 3rd category - this part is subjective. You tell me your opinion; Iāll tell you mine.
I donāt think Mandeok and Ryuhei are evil characters. They just protect someone who is evil, which automatically makes them bad guys - but not evil.
Take Ryuhei : I donāt think heās ever had evil intentions toward anyone. He just protects the love of his life. Similarly, Mandeok protects his best friend, and for that, both of them are willing to do anything within their reach.
Thatās not evilāthatās mad loyalty.
And donāt you think itās a bit hypocritical that people can sympathise with evil characters like Gun, but others canāt sympathise with someone whoās just a bad guy?
To be fair, Ryuhei, Yuseong, Mandeok, and Xiaolong are quite similar to Warren and Eli. When it comes to their loved ones, the line between good and bad completely disappears.
Now, who are actually evil? ⢠Eugene ⢠Mitsuki ⢠Vivi (Though Vivi isnāt taking drugs anymore, so she might be in a better mental state now)
- Eugene did everything out of his own will. Every evil act, every illegal businessāhe allowed it all to happen using his money. Heās honestly just as bad as Charles, if weāre being fair.
- Mitsuki was obsessed with Sinu and did everything to make him hers. Thatās straight-up evilāerasing someoneās personality just to possess them. Still, compared to the other two, she almost looks like a saint.
Now Vivi⦠man, how do I even explain what she was doing in the 3rd Affiliate? She was bringing her friends to rpe unconscious girlsāand thatās not even the worst part. She was about to burn Daniel with acid, while he was conscious ā ļø Daniel was only saved because our š Doo Lee showed up.
And if she was that comfortable doing it to Daniel, thereās a high chance sheās done it to others in the past too. Thatās pure evil. How can anyone even do that?
So yeah, thereās no clear conclusion here itās subjective for everyone. I just shared how I feel.
I donāt even like Mandeok that much, but I do sympathise with him. He genuinely got a horrible death.
As for Ryuhei, I love his character designāheās so cool. I donāt even want to imagine him dead. He was this close to a happy life, and now he might actually die.
That's all feel free to correct me if I've said something wrong or where you disagree..
This guy is clearly Psychotic like Goo... I mean who the f kills that brutally while smiling... {I shouldn't crack jokes but come on man he quite literally made Mandeok a freaking Porcupine}
For Mandeok, this is such a horrible Death... {poor guy}
And what exactly was KOJ trying to do in the end - was he trying to be funny... He killed a guy brutally by piercing numerous rods in his body and he's worrying about Ghosts.. Seriously š
