20th Century Boys Chapter 171 Discussion

It's nice to finally see something about the past of Friend and Fukubei is an asshole since childhood.

Was one of the best chapters in a while. Got more back story information

Eh, I don't know Kenji and his friend were kinda assholes themselves.

Are we finally getting Friends side of the story?

Fukubei should have hung out with some older kids instead and not tried to get into this loser group (it's still Otcho's group, not Kenji's). And damn, they have no respect for property.

What a asshole. I really dislike the way he thinks.

THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.

                Wow. The more I know about "Friend," the more I hate him. What an asshole.

And thus, Friend was born.

Kenji and his friends were assholes too, remember how they used to run away from Donkey whenever he tries to talk to them.

They were assholes to Fukubei in this chapter as well, you simply don't mess with another guy's Manga collection.

hmm i dunno, i found myself empathizing with fukube a bit here, which i assume was the point of this chapter. kenji and the others just using him so they can read his manga and then not even considering inviting him to the group... i know what it feels like to be left out like that. i didn't become a homicidal sociopath, but still. :(



btw i wonder how he has such a huge collection, are his parents rich?

Agree. Most of the kids are assholes. If they weren't, Fukubei wouldn't turn into total sociopath.

I'd be Friend's friend
