Bakuman｡/Awesome: Difference between revisions

*** The first has occurred in the anime and it was EPIC and ''satisfying''. Shujin PAWNCH!

** There is a, in this troper's opinion, overlooked but very cool one for Hiramaru in Chapter 48. So far, we've seen nothing to make us take him seriously, or give him much respect. Then, when the Editor-in-Chief is telling Ashirogi Muto they are on Haitus till April, no matter what... Hiramaru suddenly comes to his feet, gets in the Cheif's face, looks him square in the eye, and says 2 lines. And it is the most deadly serious he's ever been shown thus far. It's all but a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]. It even shows up loud-mouth Fukuda. And then Hiramaru, who has an addition to avoiding work, storms out to work on his manga, leaving his editor in utter shock.

Hiramaru: "To work on my manga." }}

** Chapter 67 is a pretty much just a series of [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Crowning Moments of Awesome]] for {{spoiler|Fukuda, of all people. After finding out Nakai's [[Jerkass]] proposal to only work with Aoki if she'd be his girlfriend, Fukuda storms over to his work and swiftly punches Nakai in the face for jeopardizing his own career by being such a dick, while simultaneously causing Nakai to expose what a [[Jerkass]] he really has been to the other girl he had a crush on. Fukuda then rushes over to the restaurant where Aoki was being menaced by a very perverted Ishizawa, shoves his freaking face into the floor and offers to help teach Aoki to draw her comic Big[Dang]Heroes style. And he does all of this within the space of like twenty minutes. ''[Dang]''.}}

** And Chapter 70's a chance for {{spoiler|Hattori}} to unleash a [[Death Note]] quality [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Akina/Iwase Aiko working with Niizuma Eiji}} to reignite the rivalry between them and {{spoiler|both members of Ashirogi}} taking full advantage of their personal lives.

** Up till now, Yamahisa's just been a [[Jerkass]] lech out for his own career. He's also Shizuka Ryu's editor (the guy who got the "Niizuma Eiji Award", a recluse [[Hikikomori]] who plays video games and doesn't talk). Shizuka Ryu finally submitted a name and is actually motivated to be a proper mangaka. His mom disapproves. Very vocally. So, Yamahisa's still a lech out for his own career, but [http://www.mangareader.net/219-48538-7/bakuman/chapter-78.html this] makes you want to cheer for him.

*** Then again, the rest of the editorial department then calls him out for being a [[Jerkass]] to Ryu's mom.

** Takagi gets another one in Chapter 124. {{spoiler|After having entered into direct competition with their former fan, the [[Smug Snake]] Nanamine, Mashiro and Takagi face a lot of early pressure due to Nanamine's calculated way of doing things and massive outside assistance...but when his third and fourth chapters plummet in the polls, Nanamine has a [[Villainous Breakdown]] and challenges Mashiro and Takagi to compete with him by running the same story in both manga, where he feels he can outmaneuver them. Takagi chides Nanamine for grasping at straws and hangs up, accelerating Nanamine's breakdown.}}
