Those last panels with Mephisto and Iruma (and the flashback) had me tearing up!
It's so sweet and cool and I love it!

I think you mean THE ONE AND ONLY GURIMU IGARASHI !

What's interesting about it is I think I agree it would have been completely different but... still have no idea if it would've played out as a win for the good guys or a loss lol.
I think that makes it a pretty cool fight overall.

The Carrots, Iruma, the Many-Ears, or the Chapter?

I laughed at that too XD

I'm into it, more than the last one anyway which I wasn't that into.
To each their own, and even at its lowest this manga is still cool, fun, and worth reading.

Isadgi getting rekt
Rin for da Win

I think this 1 year fight has been one of the most entertaining I've read!
Buuut I do agree having it be the final fight and now the series is over feels abrupt in an unusual way.
Still, bitchin' manga, it's been a trip.

Would be dope if anyone had the picture of the right panel without speechbubbles.

I like that Creati actually has a decent costume now instead of the stripper outfit lmao.

I always thought those were just Yuji's bros being sweet on the idea of what could've been. Would be interesting if it turns out to be something to do with his domain!

Aw, that chapter brought a tear to the eye, good on you Clara!
Keep going with the ba boom and va vroom and the metaphorical pew, pew, pew!

That is the best use of that image I've seen lmao
Oh I'm dying
Almost as much as Sukuna might be from this attack

The art in 262.5 was fire in places, hopefully they return with some more kickass art for next chapter!

Yo I'd be into that tho!
Tho boxing is like the one source of fitness I get irl lmao so I might be biased.

Going from memory, I think the current situation is this (or something similar):
1a)
It's believed by most of our heroes that Lynn herself was created by Kriemhild's wish on a reality-altering magic ring.
There's a lot of mystery about the ring's intentions/ways, so most of our heroes are now curious to see what will happen if the ring's wish comes true.
They all believe the wish was for Kriemhild to be as strong as Brunhild and fight alongside Siegfried and go on adventures with him.
And thus they think getting Lynn to that level of strength will help fulfill the ring's magic wish.
1b)
I am unsure if anyone's told Lynn this, I think from her perspective she's just training because she wants to be with Brunhild.
Oh, and they're currently doing this training in an alternate reality where they can train for hundreds of years in one night.
2)
After her fight with Orochi, Brunhild is no longer cursed when she looks upon beautiful men.
So she's now chosen of her own will to go have some smexy times with Gunther (her arranged husband).
3)
Beowulf was feeling satisfied with his King battle with Atilla and thus finding it hard to get excited about the upcoming final fight of the tournament.
Realising his victory as a warrior was still his defeat as a King, he looks to fight under Atilla's leadership to get excited again.
To convince Atilla to go along with this, Beowulf has promised Atilla the right to propose to and possibly wed Kriemhild.
4)
Some guy just stole the magic ring from Kriemhild (but I didn't recognise him).
~~~~~

Hope that helps!

My guess is because the chapter released before this one was unfinished?
So this is meant to be that same chapter but just released later due to the author taking a WELL DESERVED break.

SALMON FOR THE WIIIIIIIIIN!
Assuming it is the win that is... which it probably isn't, but no complaints cuz this fight is fire! We're back baby!

I actually kinda wish it DOES get one man!
I'm normally pretty prudish/put off by nudity/sex stuff in manga and stories, especially when it's unequal and exploitative.

But not only is this manga pretty equal in its nudity and sex stuff, but it's never felt exploitative to me either.
And it's just kind of straight up hilarious!

I'm sure someone's masturbated to this but for me it's never really been titilating, instead it's been a manga that I guess celebrates(?) kink stuff in a funny way while telling a fun fantasy battle manga story.
And I lowkey think that's kind of a really healthy and positive thing.

tl;dr - Give it an anime you cowards! This manga slaps!

I'm of a similar mind to you on most of these points, but do just want to chime in with: I find the killing-off-the-mentor an EXTREMELY tired trope at this point lol.
Personally I'm more of a fan when stories avoid doing it, so I actually like that All Might didn't die.
And in one of those series you mentioned in comparison (being vague to avoid spoilers for others) I'm not a fan that they walked right into it! (Though it was a ballin' fight lol)
