This is important because on a whole, manga artists like Otomo, and before him Ishinomori, Mizuki, even Tezuka were among the biggest anti-war and anti-imperialist voices in the postwar period. They deserve a lot of credit for changing minds.

[Andrew Love @DocLove713]

Enough's being said about whether the Japanese population actually reconsidered, so let me add:

"The Japanese population" didn't make Akira.

Katsuhiro Otomo made Akira.

Taking his message and the thought he put into it and attributing it to his nationality is anti-art.

[BODEGA PEPTIDES @bigsnugga]

the nuking of japan made the japanese population reconsider their imperialist ways, 9/11 just made americans even more insane. we're allergic to introspection

[Andrew Love @DocLove713]

@THEAnimeHERO Can't forget about Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daisho, the one that started it all at Shonen Jump and still holds up.

@gakushin_6 @yokotamamoru 本作の翻訳者です。
少し捕捉するけど、英語では"magnificent bastard"は不本意ながらも感服の念が強すぎて表現せざるを得ない場合に使う褒め言葉です。
映画『パットン大戦車軍団』では「敵ながらあっぱれ」みたいな意味合いで使われていた。
戦国の世を傾き通した前田慶次にはぴったりと思ってた。

The Wildest samurai epic for the author of Fist of the North Star, The Magnificent Bastard!

Tall, deadly, and fearless, Keiji navigates war, politics, and pleasure. When scouts encounter a mysterious beast, he aims to tame it—but the powerful Hojo Clan and their ninja master threaten more than just the creature.

@THEAnimeHERO @Red200331 There are lots of chapters of Sora where, if you know enough about Y2K-era current events, you realize he got the idea from reading the paper that morning. It shows you how much he writes by the seat of his pants, and I think that's what makes his work unique.

[Andrew Love @DocLove713]

@THEAnimeHERO @Red200331 Sora may not be as good as Sakigake or Gokutora, but I think it's pivotal to understanding Miyashita as an artist. There's a tendency for a lot of especially Western fans to overemphasize the manliness of his work and not see him for the shitposter he is. Sora emphasizes that.

@THEAnimeHERO So in that sense, "The Magnificent Bastard" is closer in intent to the original title than the word-for-word translation. It's definitely taking liberties to be more eye-catching but I think that liberty really fits the series.

[Andrew Love @DocLove713]

@THEAnimeHERO Just want to point out, "Keiji of the flowers" is a bit of a mistranslation anyway. The Japanese phrase "hana no" is an idiomatic expression meaning "beautiful" or "magnificent," for instance Paris is often referred to as "hana no miyako," or the beautiful city.
