20th Century Boys Chapter 133 Discussion

Brilliantly handled twist. You could put the pieces together from several chapters ago and it still adds up. Became a lot more obvious in recent chapters but considering we have around 120 chapters I'm super excited to see where the story is going to go.

Finally, the reveal.. since the very first time we met Fukubei, he was my prime suspect.. the way he told his story to Kenji, the way he acted on the roof & my strongest lead to him being "Friend", when Marou tried to check on Fukubei body after his struggle & fall with fake "Friend" on the roof.. Kenji stopped Marou from checking the body...

Which also made Kenji my second suspect of being a "Friend" too.. but that doesn't make sense at all.. other than that moment which can be took as Kenji really in a hurry to save the world or to hide major lead for "Friend" identity...



I really like the thrilling part of revealing the mystery of "Friend" identity but the selective parts of remembering/forgetting important memories were eye-rolling (in annoying way)...



I don't think Fukubei's death is the end of "Friend".. there must be more to it! i don't know how with 100+ chapters left.. but i have a hunch..

Pawn. I call it.

It was pretty much confirmed that Fukube was friend. Even before this chapter. First of all his death was too suspicious, like if he wanted he could have shot "fake friend" on the bloody new years's eve. But just wasted time by saying all of that useless bullshit. And they never confirmed his death. But what really confirmed it for me was the virtual attraction thing. Where Sadakiyo's friend told him "I'll kill you, if u tell anyone about this". And later Sadakiyo, said that "friend" was always angry with him, and told him that he couldn't do anything without "friend". Also (kid)Fukube in the flashback and the kid who said he felt bad for collins in the flashback(flag on the moon ch), wore the exact same clothes. And fukube said that he invited Sadakiyo to the secret base, And from Sadakiyo's pov we see that the one who invited him(fukube) into the secret base is "friend". So this is a bit anti-climatic for me. Maybe Fukube is just a pawn. But I have no doubt that he is indeed Kanna's father.

I forgot all about him. Damn, he really is forgettable.

i have my doubts that fukube is friend probably another pawn in friends grand plan like sadakiyo was. i also really doubt kenji is dead.

though we knew that this was coming, this was still shocking ahlie

RIP BOZO. Rest in piss you won't be missed
