Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Dark Soul # 7]

Isn't that the plot of most isekai?

In all seriousness, I think it's kind of wild it got cancelled. Garth Ennis basically couldn't have a career in Japan then, eh?

Exactly, this was probably supposed to be the a deconstruction of such characters, very much in the vein of The Seven.

I read the first, and only, chapter and besides a bit of gratuitous rape it was fascinating in how obvious the expies (I recognised a lot, but not all of them) and the harsh deconstructionist angle in seemed to go for in defeating them. I think it had some potential. But alas, it was not meant to be.

I heard the reason for the cancellation was that the expies looked too much like the originals, to the point of copyright infringement

The use of expies and the hero being a native is pretty unique, although I have seen a few stories that deconstruct isekai heroes. Off the top of my head there's Isekai Shikkaku which is essentially Osamu Dazai (with a heaping spoonful of Zetsubou Sensei) vs isekai heroes and Hero Has Returned a manhwa that shows what might happen if overpowered isekai heroes are returned to earth and grow frustrated with "society".

Wait, I'm just surprised this kind of revenge fantasy manga gets the axe when there are like tons of that kind of crap lying about.

Then again, hearing of it does lend the possibility they are way too similar to the characters they're expies of kinda does make sense they may had pissed off some people.

The expies were very obvious, kinda slightly more obvious than The Seven from The Boys.

The name of the Kirito expy was Kiruto.

That was probably part of it, because they were so blatant. But there's also been some outrage about the possibility of seeing all these beloved characters, or expies of them, perform horrific acts like rape and murder with a nonchalant or gleeful attitude.

did the q-rex fuse with the dragonzord?

It's from Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.

Using a new device called the ZenKaiju Gear a new Super Mode is activated for ZenKaiser. The new Super ZenKaiser form is based on Dragon Ceaser from Kyoryu Sentai ZyuRanger. The same new Gear can also bring a new form for TwoKaiser– the Super TwoKaiser form is modeled after the V-Rex of Mirai Sentai Timeranger.

I’m actually surprised more people never complained about how close some expies are to their true counterparts. Not just things like Gladiator or Ultraman, but the ones that are straight up pallet swaps of the original sometimes, just ‘darker and more edgy/intense/evil’.
