ChiakiKakumei

Continuing from my rant of nuking the manga with words. And since this was the perfect place to discuss it. Let's begin.

Part 2: Story

I could be wrong. I have not played the game. I only skimmed the images of the MB manga. But I think it's a little inconsistent. I know the Sacchin fans would burn me and Sacchin deserves some screentime but the manga kinda played it wrong. Techncially Sion and Shiki was suppose to fight Nero. But I guess they add Sacchin for sadness/Tear Jerker factor.

Where is Sacchin in the original Melty Blood game anyway?

Did Akiha and Sion met in the original MB?

And where was Sion during the Giant Akiha Arc anyway? Why did she return to Atlas in the Manga? I thought she was hunted due to being a "TATARI" (Hell. My MB knowledge is hella weak and is only expanded thanks to this forum, Melty Bread and a friend who is a Sion Fanatic.) *Well She returned to Atlas in MBAC but well. The Manga and MBAC are not canon in some parts anyway.* I know Arc X Shiki would have been the better choice for Kohaku Troll Arc but they could have added Sion in there too. I mean. Sion is the MAIN HEROINE in MB. Can't we have Sion, Arc and Shiki at once? It went from Silly/Serious to Silly (Well the original MB was silly and serious anyway) and then it went BAD (Will Discuss why MB X Sucked later) It went to an overkill Genre Shift.

The Author went hella OOC in the manga. It's his manga. I cannot do anything or do not have a say in it. This might as well be my weakest argument. More weak than part 1 of the Rant but Part 3 will get better.

BTW, the Melty Blood Manga is like Deen's F/SN Anime adaptation as in they merged the routes or some shit like that. The only thing I liked about DEEN's Adapatation was the anime art and the story wasn't bad. It was mostly Fate-based and almost everything went OOC but it wasn't bad. (watched every single episode of Deen F/SN, just that it has been a while since I saw it)

Extra Note: Well to add to it, Celsius told me a little flaw about this part. About the Genre Shift part, Nasu did made it before the manga existed and tbh, Nasu is not THAT bad. Hell. Even though the original had it, it went on with MB-ReAct, then MBAC and then MBAA. They all have their serious/joke routes and I'm not really against it. Well. Since I can write about this in a blog, You'll see part 4 of this called "Melty Blood 2nd Act"

And I also admit that my argument for this part is out of the water when I admitted that I never played the game but I'm looking at YT videos of the game *the original Melty Blood* Feel free to add what I'm missing in the argument between the game and Manga.
