Well i agree with you pervy but then again, if someone killed my family and the only thing he would get upon being caught is 25 years or imprisonment i found this fairly unfair. Because of that, idea of vigilante justice won't die.

Also, I'd like to thank Redzero36 and Frost for mentioning Akumetsu! I had a marathon session reading that series and I found it completely enthralling!!!

Some people are sick. Some people aren't "as" sick.

I believe that we all have a limit on our chances. If we actively try to repent for our past crimes then we should be given freedom. If we continue to go down the path of monsters then we should be put down.

Sadly a lot of us can't bring ourselves to put others down for the sake of others.

@kosmaj

Yes, but the recidivism rate for executed criminals is so low that I think that it should be the primary method of punishment for ALL crimes of violence. Not just the truly horrific ones, but also common mugging, burglary and any other crime. Personally, I feel that if something is worth being defined as a crime, the penalty should be death. This would eliminate the need for costly prisons. And if you don't think that a crime deserves the death penalty, such as prostitution or drugs, then legalize it.

I was a little upset after reading the last chapter. Author's point of view was one-sided. This does not mean that I do not agree with him. But he should also show that there were cases in which the accused was innocent. I agree to the death penalty, when it comes to the horrific crime, or in which the defendant does not show any remorse, or after serving a sentence he starts killing again.
So until the court decides whether the accused is guilty, public opinion should shut up, just as bloody journalists. Because anyone can make a mistake, and killing someone does not bring the dead life.

Anyone who is enjoying this manga but hasn't read Akumetsu yet is missing out big time.

Love this series but why does it have to be 19 pages! Posted Image

And on another note I hope the MC and the reporter cross paths soon.

Thanks for the update!

Dam the MC is so awesome. Probably my third favorite character next to Lelouch and the best, Akumetsu! Man if akumetsu were to fight it would be a blood bath cuz the MC would be kill akumetsu like crazy but Akumetsu is practically immortal(don't want to give to many spoilers for those who haven't read it.) Or just one if was the Ultimate Akumetsu version don't really remember what they called him or if he had a name.

To everyone who's complaining, you don't have to read the comments now do you? Did I break any forum/sites rules? If not, MOVE ALONG. I'll be kind enough to put my supposedly off-topic comments in spoilers so you guys don't cry. Can't promise anything from the others though.

@Borondir Now tell me about all those freaking knife massacres?!?!? This one?
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/12/22-kids-slashed-in-china-elementary-school-knife-attack/
22 slashed, kids as well, NONE dead. You would think that people who are psychotic would just go and accurate target that specific artery that they MAY hit and HOPE that it will kill them? Now look at the past few gun massacres and how many those killed, without a need to go for that specific artery. Many guns are fatal within a few seconds of impact, but knife wounds give most a chance to get emergency care. You are either a 10YO that thinks that your exceptional knife wielding skills would destroy everyone in your path or seriously misinformed.

@killerman471 Was mocking the previous commenter on his retarded ways of killing, but it appears you deserve an award for ignorance. Now go look up some of the kill stats for WWII. Firebombing killed way more than both atomic bombs combined. But you don't care about those people that died? While only 1 nuke should have been dropped, the nuke was a quick and efficient way of stopping war altogether for both sides, and prevented further pointless killing. And automobile accidents? Seriously? There's a difference between accidental death and pointless, cold killing. Apparently you wouldn't differentiate between homicide and murder.

While some criminals (serial killers/repeat murderers, etc) may deserve to be killed, everyone should deserve a last word to at least provide reason. If everyone believed in what the silly comments here support, the world be corrupt within a matter of seconds since everyone will be killing each other. But I seriously want someone to prove that guns should remain legal. Even the NRA president couldn't say sh*t other than appealing to the 2nd amendment. All you 'MURICANS with your FREEDUMS need to cool your sh*t. There's loads of evidence already that allowing guns means more deaths. Not speaking for everyone, since I live here as well, but some people really need to properly look at this world.

When guns are used to stop crimes they are rarely mentioned. Because when they are used, most of the time, the criminal will just run away without the weapon being used.

"Hell, the nuke would be a more viable option to save lives during a war, rather than sending soldiers to fight drawn out battles." What??!! You're a stupid, deluded and a terrorist! GTHO! You're okay with nuking an entire nation, just so you don't send your soldiers to death for a war your shitty government made and you voted for? Just kill your self the world would be a better place with one less terrorist!

BTW, vehicle accidents kill more people than guns! According to your logic we should ban vehicles!

@bo_jangles Saying that you will survive a kniife wound as long as the paramedics get to you just shows how little you actually know about medicine. I'll give you two examples.

Most stabbings are aimed towards the abdomen, so in most cases the blade will pierce either the liver or spleen. Being vascular organs that will cause severe bleeding. The abdomen also has a number of major blood vessels that if pierced, will result in death by blood loss if the bleeding is not stopped IMMEDIATELY.

Some assailants aim for the legs in an attempt to immobilize the target. If the femoral artery is cut, the victim will lose consciousness in 30 seconds and die in around 3 minutes.

If you think knives are not a big deal you obviously have never seen a stab wound.

Who the heck put antihero tag for this manga. Clearly he is a vigilante. All the people he killed so far are all criminals.

@Lowlightt

Look at all the the homemade bombs/explosive/other weapons that have failed even after making it through security. Now look at all the guns that have failed in killing people. Did Breivik's gun jam? Cho's? What is even the purpose of normal civilians having a gun other than using it to kill/defend? But with less guns, there won't be anything to defend against will there? Even in a gunfight, there will be fatalities, whether the attacker has the gun, or the both attacker and victim. I've had a close friend's parent kill their children because the parent was mentally unstable, and the kids were killed because the parent had access to a gun. What would've happened if that individual didn't have access to a gun? A knife? Gunshots can be fatal with a single shot, yet you can be knifed multiple times and still come out fairly fine as long as the meds come. How many times have you actually seen/heard about guns saving more lives than killed? Iraq? WWI? WWII? School massacres? Hell, the nuke would be a more viable option to save lives during a war, rather than sending soldiers to fight drawn out battles.

Back to the manga, it would be rather nice to see a flashback on the MC's life at some point, since he is probably the most ambiguous character right now.

@bo_jangles

Guns are not nor have they ever been the problem. A person who wants to kill someone or somepeople will kill those people with or with out a gun. That has been the case for thousands of years. Hell If I wanted to say kill a bunch of children I could just as easily test drive a new pickup truck and drive through a crowd of them while they are having recess. No guns needed. I could walk into the school and set gas cans on fire and throw them into the school. Hell if you want get really nasty you can make homemade claymores using metal lunchboxes, homemade plastic explosives and some shotgun pellets. Make quite a few, set them at the emergency exits around a school hidden in bookbags, and pull the fire alarm. Horrible things mind you, and yet none of them need a gun.

Gun's get a bad rap because when there used to commit crimes its somehow super evil, yet when they are used to stop crimes they are barely if ever mentioned.
