Honestly the best way to enjoy a series is to ignore the hype from the internet, every fandom is going to claim their manga is “peak” and everything else is worse.

Introduction arc: 😐 Abandoned building arc: 🙂 Hangman arc: 😀 Labyrinth arc: 😎 Ky declaration arc: 😀 Tower of karma arc: 🥶 Battle ship arc: 😀 Bookstore arc: 😎 Protoporos arc: 🥶 Air poker arc: 🥶 Suprassing the leader arc: 🥶😈 Absolutely S tier manga

When your realize that the art also got a character development in Usogui.

*finish reading airpoker* holy shit it can not get better than this *finish reading STL* holy shit how did it get better

This comment will be the most liked for no reason

I prefer a manga to start slow at first then peaks at the end than a manga with a strong start and falls off at the end

Peak writing, incredible characters, art that constantly improves, magic that attracts you to keep watching it until the end. Usogui is not just a manga, it is an indescribable feeling.

Really like Usogui but all the fans say is, "Usogui peak", "Usogui underrated", and "Baku negs all". What I see absolutely nobody talk about is how good the epilogue is. It's so damn good and is my favorite part of Usogui and is my favorite ending to a story

read this manga years ago and it was a stellar experience. it's quite the lengthy read, but it pays off dividends along with the gorgeous artwork. the actual gambling matches themselves get pretty creative while fights are even more spectacular.

Honestly when this manga was getting popular through outsmarting debates and everything I was so happy that this underrated masterpiece is getting recognition but recently I have seen many people have started hating it without even reading and I think in the next few months this manga will get monster treatment….although I am an Usogui fanboy but many agree that this is one of the best works but now I feel like I would have been a lot better if it was unknown cause having a smaller and good fanbase is better than having a toxic one

"I forgot" -Kiruma Souichi

My primary reasons for loving the series is how it handles the concept of individuality, destiny, and life. Baku's primary motivation is to defy fate. He wants to exert his own will upon the world by betting his own life in death games. He seeks the thrill of conquering fate and winning purely through his own ability. Souichi, however, attributes his position as the leader in Kakerou as his "fate" because of his mother's recording. His mother saw extraordinary potential in Souichi even before he was born and Souichi wants to live up to this ideal as "perfection". He believes that he will be "the man who will keep winning" because he is fated to win. However, Baku shatters that delusion by showing Hal that he can never achieve true perfection. He is the perfect antithesis to Baku. Individuality vs Conformity, Freedom vs Slavery, An unknown future vs a predetermined fate.

Usogui is pure greatness, a different kind of fiction. So layered and so well made, and the art progression is just something else. The characters are where it really shines, Baku and Souichi are one of the best protag and antag duo’s ever. Their dynamic and parallels is incredible with so much depth, and is such a genius relationship. Kyara I think is arguably one of the best side characters ever, and his conclusion is just incredible. The last three arcs are phenomenal and you’d be hard pressed to find a three arc stretch as good as Protoporos, Air Poker and Surpassing The Leader. I truly do think it’s an extremely underrated masterpiece, and should be held in as high regard as the other greats of manga.

The twist on the kingdoms take over is the greatest I've ever read, when Baku's plan is revealed I was standing in awe. Is something you can arrive clearly through logic, unlike a lot of betting manga, and yet you never think about the possibility

The final arc of Usogui is a man with heart problems gambling against a man with dementia mediated by a man with broken arms

I love Usogui getting some recommendation by big creators, obviously when fans like me state that it negs fiction we don't actually mean that, there's just no way to truly describe what I felt during air poker and surpassing the leader, I loved every bit of the story looking back on it, and I haven't felt that way from a manga since I read Monster and Berserk. We try to push it out there competing with other top manga because it's fantastic, and heavily underrated. I thank you for making this video and getting more people to read this manga, even if you don't agree it's the best manga, it's still up there, and it's 100% worth a read.

So glad you’re bringing attention to Usogui. I never see any talk online about it and it really deserves recognition. It’s amazing.

It's funny to me the similarities Usogui and Gintama have. White haired and silly protag Dark haired and serious antag Amazing protag / antag duo. Awesome side characters. Really well written secondary antag with long hair Back to back 10/10 arcs at the end. Baku and Gintoki truly are our white haired goats🐐

The foreshadowing in this manga was insane too

Sako Toshio really cooked and marinated his decade-long manga EVERY week and still managed to put out a masterpiece with one of the greatest art progression, interesting characters, and the most hype/mind-bending moments in manga.

I'm still on the hangman arc and I think it's really good, so hearing all these people say that the first bit is dogshit in comparison to the rest of the series makes me think that this will probably be one of my favourite animanga

The whole Usogui subreddit was waiting for this video, thanks for doing this.

i dont know if im in the minority but liked also the first half of Usogui. The Television arc is probably my favourite with Surpassing the leader being the second. But honestly its all good as a whole.

Usogui is also getting a sequel stay Hyped 🔥🔥

I am actually an Indian but personally I have never heard anybody mentioning this Manga so the fact that the majority of the people who like this Manga are Indians is a major surprise to me.

I have read Berserk, Vagabond, and other great manga, but Usogui somehow surpasses them for me.

I first hear this manga and the character Baku Madarame in Kiyokouji's smart characters tournament at first I didnt really wanna take a look at it until Capeditz start posting videos about the characters in this manga and I finally read it and Oh Boy its PEAK. I was so happy that this underrated masterpiece is finally getting recognition. If you want to read manga similar like Usogui check out Liar Game, Kaiji and Tomodachi Game.

I'm honestly surprised how much you liked the Battleship Arc. Most of the people I've seen on the internet rated it low (I really liked it btw). The first half for me was good/great. The beginning served as an introduction to what this manga is about and each arc gradually increased sakes and mind games. The second half was amazing, what else can I say lol. Also the choreography for fights was amazing, the art had the biggest change I've ever seen in manga.

INDIA MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯 WTF IS A BAD MANGA RECCOMENDATION🔥🔥💯🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️

That moment after STL where baku thinks that soichi got back up (even though it was just anxiety) made me half-faint cuz i knew baku COULD NOT move any further.

The most brilliant part was " losing the memory of that date" part, it's the reason everything else after was possible in the first place, it's like using the rules completely to your advantage with 20000 IQ

One thing I've learnt from reading usogui and jojo is that some manga age better with time, where early on, the series may be feel boring, lackluster or downright bad but as it keeps going it gets better and better to the point it might be called a masterpiece. I'm glad you eventually got to like the series masked man

This Manga was amazing. It was so intelligently written, with the author's ability to foreshadow and write complex scenarios. Also the humour needs to be mentioned more. Marco being Marco gives me joy, he might be my favourite character. Tower of Karma arc was my favourite. I would give Usogui a 9.5/10. It would be a 10, but Baku isn't that complex or masterfully flawed Protagonist that I seek. Even then, I consider it to be a top 5 manga. Fata Morgana still negs, though.

genuinely cannot comprehend how someone can not love ashita no joe 💀

Honestly that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard an author do, truly sako toshio is the goat.😺

If you guys love usogui,, please check out the other creators work. Batuque is just as amazing, and has the insane art as well with more insane fighting and sick characters.

Currently 346 chapters in and the labyrinth and tower arc are still my favorite arcs so far and that battleship one I had no idea the fans were bad I’ve gotten spoiled before tho😂

Did my video give the false impression that Usogui fans are all indians 😭

You know, this manga is not for everyone, i did recommend it to my friends and etc . They actually didn't even understand

ugh the regular show opening sound effect at 6:13 gave me nice chills

finally started reading usogui after hearing so many ppl hype it up and its so fucking good

The more and more you explained this manga, the more it just sounded like if Yugioh season 0 had been what the rest of the series was instead of what we got, different games with different rules that were just vague enough to find loopholes and "cheat" rather than the clear rules of Duel Monsters that we got with the actual show proper, and if Yugi was just Yami the entire time instead of switching back and forth. Just a parallel I couldn't help but draw in my brain

Baku has fabulous hair at the least

The build up in this series is good. I remember reading it years ago but didn't know it was this hyped on the internet lol

Surpassing the leader surpassed fiction itself.

Read Golden Kamuy. It's One Piece but if the poneglyphs were human tattoeed skin.

Usogui peak fiction‼🗣 Best story best characters. Gambling for life🔥🔥

Thanks for shedding light unto this extremely underrated gem! A series that gets better with every reread, and there are tons of references to mytholgies and games of the past.

Definitely my favorite manga of all time

Its been a long time coming. You finally talking about one of the best manga out there hopefully now more people will check this series out and stick with it to see why its one of the greatest seinen series out there.

Usogui is so good that the author had to nerf his intelligence stats(Yet still won he hardest game in the series)

Usogui is extremely good i really enjoyed every moment especially close to the end

I'm just so grateful that i got to read this whole series with no spoilers (expect for one character's death) and only going into the series knowing that it was going to be about gambling and i wouldn't want that any other way

Now that I think about it, this manga does have a lotta Indian fans (me being one of them), dunno exactly why but this manga really is peak.

Air poker had me grasping for air in real life 😭😭

The art is absolutely gorgeous, that’s for sure

im ALMOST sure that every Usogui fan after reading the whole thing has an Usogui pfp

So glad this video was made, I kept posting about it on the subreddit to hype it up. I'm actually pleasantly surprised you brought up how cancerous the fandom is though with their powerscaling "my dad is stronger than your dad" and stupid elitism. Thats the reason why I want this fandom to grow, to turn the loud ass children into a minority

Very disheartening to hear that the Usogui fandom has gone down the path of toxicity, and it is further vindication of my stance that you should never engage with the wider fandom of any franchise. I discovered the series through JJBA in 2017, as Araki is good friends with Toshio, and it quickly cemented itself as of my all-time favourites. I also recommend checking out Toshio's other manga, Batuque which is about martial arts; mainly capoeira.

i found out about this manga because of Batuque, another series from the same author and i gotta say.... both absolutely blew me away

(edited cuz how could I just forget how beautiful and amazing art was to loot at.craziest part is the amount of work the author puts in every single chapter yet kept it weakly and even ma,naged to have the time to learn martial arts😄the author is just built different.) to be honest I'm genuinely amazed that you dropped usogui at the beggining(even tho everyone has their own taste,they might not like mind games and other stuff,even though I don't really liking fighting I cna say I enjoyed usogui fights)and I don't agree with you about baku's favorite line it just never gets boring.to me absolutely every arc where usogui showcased his wits was absolutely amazing and ofc that includes labyrinth arc.but there's a BIG DIFFERENCE between us because you've read it through recomendations and I found it myself,you had your own expectations from the start when I never had it and it just kept surpassing my excpectations from arc to arc.that about expectations I was so hyped for johan's character but when I watched it for the first time,nothing,literally nothing I was amazed people even liked his character(I understood why people liked it after rewatching)that happened with aizen too so expectations might cause someone to not like soemthing which he might've liked if he read it without recomendations form the fandom,I'm currently re-reading it and I'm enjoying it more than I did before what can I say usogui is heavily underrated and not known widely.and so nicne of you tov mentioning monster part the way the fiction inside fiction tells whole story short,that details was awesome to see.thanks for making video about my favorite manga

Regarding the gambing theme, I really suggest reading Liar Game, Tomadachi game, Kakegurui and mangas made by Nobuyuki Fukumoto(Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji and Gambling Emperor Legend Zero)

Ah shit. As someone that fucking loves Kaiji Ultimate Survivor, I love a good gambler story. Guess I know my next time sink.

Mentioning the Colombian neck tie, transported me to my childhood when was reading a book whose title I don't remember. I just remember how it was called and it has been decades since I heard that name. "Corte franela"

Ok so i dropped this at ch 203 and i am going to now continue this soon All i want to say is this better be THE GREATEST MANGA of all time or i will find you masked

0:25 yeah we Indians like to gamble our life

Every time masked man upload I feel blessed

Saw the thumbnail and immediately, WOULD.

Read Usogui!! Usogui was so good that I can't even let it go even after months has been passed since i completed it I just can't say anything else other than peak to what air poker and stl was

Yeah 95% fanbase of usogui is from india and I didn't read it. I am in my 30s and dear lord young people around me just cringed me enough to read this so this year I am gonna do it.

Just finished reading Kaiji one poker arc. It is gambling at its peak

You should really read the Manhua called "Ravages of Time". Its drawn like a manga. It focuses on one of the most brutal eras in history, the three kingdoms era. The art is fantastic, the mind games and schemes are as complex if not more complex than Usogui's. The storytelling is out of this world and i really like how many things it features. It features social commentary, profound philosophizing, warfare, ancient classical poetry and a lot more. One of my favorite things about it is that unlike a lot of war forced works is that it's not overly brutal or edgy. I gotta admit, the beginning is very heavy, and has mediocre art and translation, but it gets very good very quickly. I highly recommend it. 🙏

To the guy saying his comment will be the most liked, nah I'd win

You've finally seen the light (I finished Usogui a couple days ago)

You should do air poker breakdown like you did with Berserk arcs

I've heard of Baku but not the manga he was from. Thank you CapEditz.

Its in my top 5, only after Monster, Billy Bat, Vinland Saga and Ashita no Joe

Great video, definitely gonna read Usogui in the near future 💯.

YES BRO FINALLY YES USOGUI YES THE BEST THE YES BRO BEST SERIES

Usogui mentioned

I really hope fang yuan fans doesn't find this channel they are like cultists

The start of the manga can vary for different people. For me, I enjoyed how things were at the start and how Baku was already established as this demonic gambler god who never loses. While that would make it boring that he always wins, it was still incredibly interesting to read how he won. Furthermore, I liked that the start was slow, it got me invested and got me liking it more and more. For one, the reason why I liked the slow start, was that it made sense as to how Baku's grand plan would take time to truly play out. So first 200 chapters basically preparing the reader for what is about to come was an excellent idea. I will say, that doesn't mean that the beginning parts of the manga are perfect, since for some people it can be quite boring or repetitive, but overall, as you said in the video, it all paid off for the end. Usogui is the best manga I have read so far. I'm not gonna say it is peak fiction and beats every other series, but for me, it is nr 1. Cuz, I feel like people now have begun to think that their opinions are objective rather than subjective. So when someone says that they like a series more because of reasons they find the series interesting, others will say that it is wrong because they like their series more and since the majority likes one series more, doesn't make it an objective fact. (Wow I wrote alot) Anyway, great video, really enjoyed it. 👍

It’s been years now since I read Usogui but it was the most enjoyable experience I have had reading manga

And here I am still haven't read it but I'm sure I will eventually and fandom's being too pushy can be annoying and some people just need to go at their own pace when reading or trying a new series.

9:38 it's dumb to consider it protoporos by this logic surpassing the leader is also protoporos... It (both AP and STL) was officially said to be a standalone arc

I guess I'll add it to my endless backlog of entertainment. Thanks for the recommendation 👍

Every fandom has people who hype their stuff up. It’s always going to be that way. Don’t generalize every fan because of a small minority. And womp womp’ing people over it doesn’t make you look better btw

Greatest of all time. Zenith of the medium. Hallmark of media. Gold standard of storytelling. Apogee of creativity. Vertex of invention. Crest of ingenuity. Acme of imagination. Pinnacle of innovation. Epic of epics. Legend among legends. Peak fiction. One above all, peak creation, lonely at the summit, goats above goats, grandiose masterpiece, impeccable perfection, too exquisite to exist, unbelievably marvelous creation, spectacularly bewildering and stupendous imagination, work of god. Groundbreaking and foundational, his sense of development is a deconstruction of employment segregation and the powerful performances are truly comprehensive of their poignant themes while the nuance in the direction complements a layered screenplay. Pure elegant, exquisite, endeavour. I can't put my finger on what's wrong because there isn't anything, masterful character-making from a masterful person. Top of the decade. Top of the century. Top of my life.

Kollywood or Tollywood can make killer usgoi IRL adaption. Since most of the southern movies are pretty much just like usogi that's why most of the fan base is from India.

95% of fans are Indians XD. I know of 2 people who love this manga and both are Indians XD

50% of all the usogui fans are from Bangladesh and india me included 😂

Would love you to check out Batuque. Its also by the same mangaka and focused on Capoeira with a lot faster pacing than usogui

Every body has an different opinion that should be respected not disrespect but its alright to hate people who make you less enjoy your favorite manga

Sako Toshio has started working on a new manga (Batuque has ended).

Why do think 95% usuogui fandom is Indian tho ?

I don't know how long this will take but I will beg you to read these three manga and cover them on your channel 1. Fire punch 2. Neverending nightmare 3. God's right hand and the devil's left

Love bro for making a video of this manga

I know that every Fandom says that their manga is the best, but man usogui is seriously the best. there is nothing else to say, it's a masterpiece

gatekeep it seriously, don't let people know about it

I'mma be honest, I used to be a somewhat annoying fan of this work since I consider it very underrated and I felt that any friend or person who recommended it to them was going to love it, but well, I realized that one of the reasons why people don't want to see is because of its long number of chapters. *Everyone can do what they want, but know that it really... is a hidden gem*
