September 2011 "Pocket Monsters Reburst" Review Thread

[Eitarou]

September! That means new images!

This month, we learn Carola's past...seems she was an orphan or something...

Rabine's got some plans...

Lastly, Dokan's got some cool moves...

Spoiler

Dokan's technique is called "幻惑毒霧", Bewitching Poison Mist and is called "...Draulic Shower" in Katakana...

Wow, we finally get a bigger full view of Dokan's Burst form.

And Carola's past is pretty sad.

 

[Eitarou]

New pictures, you get the drill.

Ryouga defeats Dokan.
Dokan's attack is called "超重量落下", Super Heavy Drop and spoken as "メガプレスダイブ", Mega Press Dive. (That has nothing to do with poison...)
Boobs McJugs, er, Pauline takes Dokan's Burst Heart.
Shin and Rurimaru are going to fight.
Ryouga vs Hariru part dos.

Spoiler

 

[Chao]

Some comments:
* Great... more fanservice
* Still don't get Rurimaru, female or effeminate male?
* Dokan's BURST is ugly
* Dokan's 6, Ryouga's 1 and Karuta's 2 (9)... and Hariru's 9
* Coming up next, Ryouga and Hariru's showdown (And Rabine's jealous...)

I found a shop that gets Weekly Shounen Sunday issues in on Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays!!

Boobs McJugs, er, Pauline takes Dokan's Burst Heart.

That Burst Heart was actually taken before the conclusion of the battle between Ryouga and Dokan. We don't know who it belongs to.

Also, it hasn't been mentioned here yet, but Rabine's big plan for the third round is to attack a Burst Warrior who's already gathered ten points, thinking they'll be so worn out from their battles that they won't have the strength needed to protect themselves.


Next week's chapter will have a full color title page.

 

[Eitarou]

Blah, blah, blah Rurimaru vs Shin.

Uh oh, Carola is in trouble...

Rurimaru's first attack is Water Bubble, written as "水の泡" (Water Bubble), pronounced as "ウォーターバブル" (Water Bubble).

Her second attack is called Water Tree, written as "水の塔" (Water Spire), pronounced as "ウォーターツリー" (Water Tree).

Shin's attack is called "風裂転舞" (Tearing Wind Spin Dance) Pronounced as "ふうれつてんぶ" (Fuuretsutenbu). Or something like that..

[Dogasu]

As for the main battle, not a lot happens between Hariru and Ryouga. Hariru uses the Night Shadow Shot attack he used to defeat Ryouga last time, but he's able to withstand it. They also go back and forth about how much stronger Ryouga's gotten.

The title page also gives us the first look at a lot of the BHS participants in full color.

Wow, this month's review thread was kind of empty....

Hopefully October's more active...

Alright you know the drill, new images.

Spoiler

So, Fraud, stripping in front of a little girl?

Why don't you have a seat?

Spoiler

Ew...is that some kind of scar?

Aww...he really does care about her.

According to Carola, her Burst burns up a ton of calories.

This explains why she was so hungry in her first appearance.

Carola recognizes Fraud's scars.

Ryouga is using an attack that has all his remaining power left in it to try and defeat Hariru.

More images

Spoiler

Ryouga won...

 

[Chao]

So, Halil was defeated by Ryouga because he was distracted? (Hope for a rematch soon...)

Some thoughts:
Carola looks so cute as an Emboar.
Fraud is such a bishonen...
I know this would be expected, but was that blood splatter? from a little girl!?
Rabine still creeps me out...

Maybe we'll get to see more about Halil and Carola's past in the next chapter...

 

[bluesun]

I've decided that Carola is actually a hamster. xD
(Dogasu probably knows what I mean)

This is manga; all the seats are taken xD.

So we have the loli vs bishi?

 

[Eitarou]

This tournament is turning out differently than I expected.

Shin and Rurimari have the 5 and 7 medals, respectively. Whoever wins will have a total of 12, allowing them to pass.

Carola and Fraud have the 8 and 3 medals, respectively. Whoever beats who(m?) will get the grand total of 11, meaning whoever wins will get to onto the next round.

Ryouga has the 1 medal, but he also took back Karuta's 2 medal and took Dokan's 6 medal. If Karuta's Burst Heart was the one that was taken two chapters ago, then he's out, forcing Ryouga to go onto the next round in his place. But 1 + 2 + 6 = 9. But if Ryouga takes Hariru's medal, then he'll have a grand total of 18.

But Rabine hasn't fought yet, and we still haven't gotten a clear shot of his Burst form. If Ryouga gives him Dokan's medal, then Rabine will go onto the next round with a perfect 10 while Ryouga will have 12.

I've decided that Carola is actually a hamster. xD
(Dogasu probably knows what I mean)

Lemme guess, the scene where she stuffs a bunch of apples in her mouth?

This is manga; all the seats are taken xD.

So we have the loli vs bishi?

Judging by the blood in the panel where she scream's for Hariru's name, she seems to have been defeated already....

I really wish I would've seen these threads before I did a slapdash mediocre job translating the manga into English from the volumes...
