Bokurano Chapter 65 Discussion

I can't really explain why, but this whole story seems kinda pointless to me, bland, empty..

depressing manga........





but dungbeetle said something interesting...... if he dies in his demonstration to the new group, will the old group get revived?



"If the last pilot loses the demonstration battle on the next Earth, the contractees from that world will be revived and the world will not be destroyed. The last pilot's world will be destroyed instead. "



he did said he would die - so does that mean all the kids are gonna get revived?



Did he really say it like that?

In here, he clearly says that he will not die. And if he would die, the next world wouldn't be influenced.

And such is the cruel fate of life. We can't do anything but face the challenges its lays before us to the very end.



I'm glad Dung beetle became cool at the end, but damn I got really depressed with Yokos death. Finally was going to lose her virginity before death and bang, off goes her lights.



Manga was so much better than anime



10/10

Why pick a bunch of kids again?  The dude made a point to Ushiro that when he becomes dung beetle he should pick people strong enough to handle the job, but he picks a bunch of kids?No, Dung Beetle was only telling Ushiro that when Yoko was still able to fight in the last battle. It's the person who goes on to fight the first battle in the new world who picks the new group of pilots, not the dung beetle. Ironically, in this case, the new world's dung beetle is now Ushiro and the pilot is Dung (main world's dung beetle) Beetle, so Dung Beetle (uppercase = main world's DB) is the one picking out the new pilots.



And you're also dead wrong about Dung Beetle telling Ushiro to pick only adults. He did say that he should pick people capable of winning and not to let his personal feelings get in the way of his choices. But that was because he was telling him to pick only children since he also told him that the younger the person was, the more powerful the robot was(since it feeds off of that person's life force). Dung Beetle specifically chose children so that the new world would have more chance of winning and the main world wouldn't have to play the game again until much later.



Does anyone else hate Chizu's family? Or am I just nuts for thinking that they're complete monsters?

@Lhefriel_Medies: I think he meant the 'main world' to be the one our main characters are in, so you two are saying the same thing. And there are 15 pilots, not 10.

You're not alone.



Chizu's family released the teacher even though they were aware of the wrongs he committed against numerous girls.



And what could be more ironic than allowing his position in the ministry of education? Was that a joke? Because it sure seems like it was. He deserves at least ten years in jail for his crimes. What's even worse is that he genuinely believes he's done nothing wrong, which indicates that he's of an antisocial nature. He will continue to manipulate young girls for his own twisted enjoyment.



I don't understand how Chizu's older sister could have let this scum go scot-free after she learned what he did do her little sister. Instead, she reprimanded Chizu's actions without an inkling to how broken her little sister had become due to the actions of the teacher. She failed to grasp the gravity of being manipulated, abandoned, gang-raped, and then blackmailed into silence. People like her act like saints, but they don't try to understand the perspective of victims.



And why didn't the father persecute the teacher? He may have felt he was not in position to do so due to his daughter's wrongdoings, but doesn't he care at all that there will be more victims like his daughter with this man free? The reason his daughter contorted into a mass-murderer was because of the appalling things the teacher did to her. Isn't that even more of a reason to take him to court? Shouldn't he feel like it's his duty to prevent horrific outcomes like that from happening?



It's so vexing. So many good-natured characters met with tragic endings, but this piece of scum teacher -- the only person I really wanted to see die in this series -- had a happy ending, and he has Chizu's shitty family to thank for that.

I can see what people mean now about the anime going off the rails, I definitely prefer how the manga ended it. Much better without garbage like Ushiro's Mary Sue father and 10 minutes of the prime minister sitting up and down.



Very memorable series but I don't think I'll ever read this again. Too painful...

I used to think they didn't die and would show up later or whatever. This work was impressive overall, but could've used better its concepts and characters. Worth a read.
