Juni Taisen: Zodiac War, Vol. 3

Juni Taisen: Zodiac War #3

by Akira Akatsuki

Twelve fighters enter, one fighter leaves—who will win the 12th Zodiac War?

Every 12 years, 12 fighters take the form of the Chinese zodiac and engage in a battle royale. With their strength and mysterious powers, they fight to the death and the sole survivor is granted the ultimate prize—any wish.

With half of the fighters down for the count, the Zodiac War rages on! Usagi—the fighter of the Rabbit—and his undead army continue to rampage across the battlefield, intent on destroying anyone who stands in their way. For an honorable fighter like Ox, Rabbit’s desecration of and complete disregard for human life is unacceptable. To obliterate this heretical army, Ox teams up with an unlikely ally—the drunkard Tiger!

So my zodiac may have a cool animal (in this set at least) but they still suck, as always. This was another okay volume, still formulaic but still entertaining enough.

[Brandon · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume was apparently only $2.95!

Just two more deaths: Horse and Dragon. Two more undeaths as well: Snake and Dragon. Or "redeaths"? I think "undeaths" would refer to when they were turned into zombies, right? Well, I didn't start tracking such cases earlier, so too late. Several more battles: Ox vs. Horse, Snake vs. Rat (resumed), Snake vs. Horse, Snake vs. Tiger, Ox and Tiger vs. Snake, Rabbit (and kinda Snake and Monkey) vs. Dragon, Ox and Tiger vs. Snake and Dragon.

Apparently VIZ doesn't include the ISBN on the credits page so I had to try to read through the 2nd & Charles price sticker to catalog this appropriately. But it worked!

Was Akatsuki always this good at drawing butts? I feel like Medaka's skirt often got in the way. But wait, no, she strips a lot in the beginning as a gag. Hmm. Well, certainly I need to resume research.

I think Tiger might be my favorite character right now....

I decided to read Juni Taisen: Zodiac War by Akira Akatsuki, Nisioisin & Hikaru Nakamura because I've read volumes 1-2 and wanted to see how the battel plays out from where I felt off. Once I started reading this book I was ready for the very insane, action packed and gory of a story! I really love how this story is written because you can't figure out what's gonna happen next; very unpredictable and shocking. Each Zodiac character has special abilities when it come to the fighting and each of them has an interesting backstory. I really love the art style because it's very clear to see, each character has a special design so you know which zodiac animal they are, and the action/gory scenes are incredible! It's better to not say too much about this book because it's better to read that way. I feel that The Fighter of the Rabbit: Usagi might be the strongest player in this war and I think The Fighter Of The Rat: Nezumi might be hiding something for this war for the next volume. I would recommend this book to horror fans because this give you plenty of it and the storyline is amazing! I can't wait to read the final volume to see how this epic battel ends!

Alliances are more reliable near the end, when only four fighters remain. Even though only one must emerge victorious, these temporary alliances are tactically sound. Also, butt-shots. You can't keep a good mangaka down. Fine, I'll bump it to three stars, I guess.

Breathing without taking action is not living - Rat to Horse 👌 Some cool messages among the killing 😅😂👍
