終末のワルキューレ異聞 呂布奉先飛将伝 3巻

In my review of Vol.2, I mentioned that the fight between Zeus and Adam was going to be one of the best fights I've read in a manga, and after reading this volume, I can honestly stand by what I've said wholeheartedly.

The fight draws two opposing sides and points-of-view into an epic encounter that simply evokes thrills from not even the reader, but even the characters in the manga. In many ways, it's a battle of “archetypes” or “ideals”. Whereas Zeus has always been depicted as a “God among Gods”, often revered throughout history, in reality, he's a toxic r*pist while also being a terrible father and role model. Thus, Zeus in the manga is not depicted in a “divine” way, but rather as a disturbing (with emphasis) old man, which represents his own nature. In contrast, Adam is depicted as both a caring father and husband, which he truly was; when he states his reason for fighting, is such an epic and emotional moment that it simply wins the hearts of everyone (reader included).

The severe juxtaposition between the two, as well as the sheer intensity of the fight, makes this one of the greatest fights you'll ever read.

Adam is not one, but he definitely is the GOD of this manga.

Can't wait for the development of Kojiro vs Poseidon, especially after the weight and emotion of Zeus vs Adam's fight paves the way for this one.
