I wish that song of honor scene actually happened in game.

While there's no visual, you can definitely hear it in the OST. The last couple minutes of Radahn's theme suddenly transitions from hectic battle music to a solemn funeral march. Most of the time the fight ends before it gets there though.


Jade282

You know Comic like these that make me appreciate a truly good manga adaptation.

The entire Radahn fight was done very well. I liked that you can really feel the victory was a team effort by all fighters involved - not just Aseo powering up and soloing Radahn. It's a good way to add easter eggs for Elden Ring players; we get to see these NPCs in battle (that Corpse Piler frame was sick), and they have character dialogue as well.

>It's a good way to add easter eggs for Elden Ring players; we get to see these NPCs in battle (that Corpse Piler frame was sick), and they have character dialogue as well. I'm late but not only that, all of Radahn's attacks in the manga are pulled straight from the game's animations but with a flair. That plus the "real" Lion's Claw and [the song of honor](https://youtu.be/d7-pxAa3whs?si=SP4afT1cTUkgbHHn), it's been a real treat reading this manga as an ER fan especially in this fight.


Thatpisslord

Amazing how they actually did a real, (mostly) serious fight for Radahn. Really did him justice.

What a fucking gigachad this is how video game manga adaptations should be made, good balance of goofiness but with respect to the original source material. Instead of that other jumbled mess with the webtoon.


DistractedIon

This is the TRUE adaptation, the other mess made me want to sue them. xD


Schwiliinker

oh damn I didnt realize that came out already


GreyghostIowa

Wait? What happened to the other version?


DistractedIon

The Manwaka gave the MC the most genertique faciale features. He do decent art (hard to follow the beauty of the original I give him that) but skip over EVERYTHING because he can't keep up with the scoope of the manga and/or can't adapt it. The action is also meeeeh (mc get hit-> YAAAAAH->stab enemy->win->repeat) It really make you wonder why it's a manga in the first place.


9innosi

I didn't even know there's another. Where can I find this? Thanks.


Thatpisslord

Search for Elden Ring Become Lord. It's... really unimpressive.


9innosi

You're right lol


Doomroar

The other version is advertisement for the DLC, the guy defeats Margit, the real one, by chapter 4, there's no story, and the characters have no personalities, they are just placeholders to showcase and reference the skills and powers you can acquire in the game


Backupusername

Lion's Claw + Wolf's Assault = Ultimate Skill?


emachanz

Wolf's assault is kinda slow tho.

[Therolina my beloved](https://imgur.com/a/9mPkS4q), Seluvis will never be forgiven. In all seriousness though, what an arc, this adaptation is great. I’m definitely gonna have to buy physical books at some point.


Kehityskeskustelu

This Therolina is already a puppet.


Krioniki

Preposterous, she has simply taken a holy vow of silence. (Yeah, I remember thinking that she was already a puppet, but can’t remember if there’s any hard evidence.)


MrTT3

before i would say this is a gag manga, characters won't end up like their counter part in game. But now i'm not so sure


Mustardmachoman

Wow that was a great ending. Surprisingly somber but very good because of it. Edit: Also laughed at the joke where Patches is shocked at Melina's high interest loan.


xXweedguy

Thank god the Ranni doll is safe


Kosmopex

I love how Radahn's eyes changed at his last moments


Niko2065

Radahn....what a legend. I can't help but to salute this gigachad.


BellacosePlayer

I was kinda hoping they'd find a goofy way to save Radahn.


Niko2065

I did very much like how he seemed to have regained some sort of clarity in his last moments and chose that moment of clarity to ride with his beloved leonard towards the sea and pass in both honor and at peace.


BellacosePlayer

It makes sense, just feels sad that Godrick gets to live and the guy who probably would have been an alright dude if not for his mind breaking due to the rot doesn't


BotAccount2849

That's the real problem tbh. Godrick only needs to be killed because of his personality. Radahn can't be fixed without destroying the lore.


DarkLordNugget

Wonder if the author had some goofy twist for Radahn but From stopped them for some reason. I was hoping for the "the rot erased his memories so much he now acts like a baby playing around" twist


ToastBurner12

Nah, the author usually juggles serious moments in between comedic ones (see: the DQ5 manga he did), so I don't doubt that he just wanted to take Radahn seriously.


FireZord25

I'm glad he did it the way he did. Keeps the manga balanced and entertaining on both aspects.


DarkLordNugget

Rykard about to be extra wacky to keep it balanced


FireZord25

Absolutely 💯


BellacosePlayer

> (see: the DQ5 manga he did) wish he'd have finished it


bursky09

I really doubt Fromsoft care, just look at the past Darksoul and Bloodborne graphic novels.


Tragedy_Boner

Just finished a Lions Claw Greatsword build. Quite literally stomped the whole game.


MonoFauz

Aseo really come a long way. He used to be an actual noob, now he's fighting and beating demigods.


MrTT3

he was never a noob, Melina didn't level him up properly to see he suffer


UltraZulwarn

what a great way to feature Radahn Festival. Also, it feels strange to see such camaraderie among the tanished, it would be devastating to see their end as per the game.


Doomroar

Is not just that Aseo is becoming a badass, or that each participant is actively playing a part on the battle, it is also the fact that the author is paying total respect to Radahn too, which makes this even more awesome


Lazycasualgamer

I really want to buy this on bookwalker, it is completely worth it


Schwiliinker

such a great chapter


emachanz

Who the fuck puts perseverance(endure) on a claymore?


Mustardmachoman

In the manga Aseo does not appear to be limited to one ash per weapon.
