Woah, a lot went down. Cant believe the author made Sandman into a villain even though we started the manga with him.

Awesome battle. Sandman, or maybe I should call him Soundman instead, was a pretty awesome villain & when it was revealed that he *was* the antagonist & not Norisuke like I originally thought, it was a pretty shocking moment. Granted, I expected him to become an enemy eventually but definitely not this soon or suddenly. Regardless, this is one of the reasons I love the concept between Steel Ball Run, it allows Araki to set up villains well in advance.

& Johnny's new power is awesome.

I'm also not a fan on how Sandman's character ended up in the end.
The sound ability is pretty much Echoes from Part IV.

RIP Soundman, you were cool.
Hot Pants took all the parts but she fixed them, even Higashikata.

I fully agree, I think Sandman had the best intentions of the SBR race.

Eh? Did hot pants just casually extract the spine and the left hand from Johnny's body? How is that possible? Wouldn't it rob him from his ability, too?

Funny. This manga started with Sandman, but later he became a villain and was killed by Johnny.

Hot Pants saved everyone, but took Corpse's Parts with her. I wonder what's her deal. Perhaps she knows more about everything that is happening around Steel Ball Run?

Oh shit, can't believe they killed Sandman so soon. I was expecting he would've died later, since he was the first character we met. He was cool anyway, sad that he died.

lmao Norisuke is alive

Damn i really thought Sandman was gonna win the whole race. We started the manga with him and he had the strongest reason to win, to buy his peoples land back. rip in peace

Really intense small arc we got. In addiction to seeing more of Johnny backstory it was nice to see him mature with the events that happened in this chapters and thanks to Gyro guidance, however I don't like how Sandman was utilised.
His character undergone a complete 180 in terms of personality just do deliver this curve ball that he was actually the villain all along... Either showcase his mental change or don't make the change so abrupt, because how it was done it felt like he was just written out of the story.
He had one of the strongest motivations (much stronger than Gyro in my point of view) and while I can understand why he might had been persuaded to ally with the president; to that result into him having a complete change in personality and be willing to die testing his abilities is a big stretch.

Tusk Act 2 turning Johnny's dual nail pistols into a railgun with a temporary yet devastating post-shot homing ability was really damn awesome!

It's a shame that things had to end like that between Johnny and Soundman but they no doubt had a superb fight! If only he had thought about her sister more instead of throwing his life away...

Hot Pants must've been a fellow compatriot of Gyro's since she probably wouldn't have cried that hard when she picked up those corpse parts if she just found out about it recently. It's fair trade since she patched them up and got them across the Mississippi at least.

the 'soundman' thing kind of came out of nowhere

annd johnny's new power is nice, i thought it wasn't worth it that he can only shoot one per finger where it only got stronger

but well it's the best fight i've seen so far
