Lol at Pururun being reduced to the "sub-character" role. Oh boy, I sense another new main character......Omitsu!

Lol at Pururun being reduced to the "sub-character" role. Oh boy, I sense another new main character......Omitsu!

Yes, she's the main character and heroine! Nevertheless it wasn't surprise, she is the strongest character of KNT, after all she alone destroyed Edoropolis in one shot!  Page 94

“Tenka muteki no daishouri~”

Quite possibly the best line from a japanese anime series and my favorite line from Yattarou. I'm trying to find if any other anime character (outside KNT) has ever used this line. It's a very epic line, imo!

A great line from the most invincible anime character in the world.

[Daisensei]

Sorry, ElonNarai, I forgot that one. Yattarou said: "A~a". It may be translated as "Oh my".The story is to be concluded, so the characters are acting accordingly... I think.  Page 95

Very interesting notes from the author at the end there. Particularly that he considers Teyandee to be a major influence on his work overall. I really admire his dedication to keeping KNT alive, too. That's the sort of thing that's really inspiring to any fan.

Indeed. I find his work to be very inspiring and it was nice to read this awesome manga. Ever since I started watching KNT, I've been super addicted to the series. When you watch the original version of a particular anime such as this, you'll truely know more about how the anime came to life and how the characters are really interesting. No offense to SPC, I LOVE SPC, but after watching KNT, it just has a unique sense of entertainment; the catchy music, the characters' true personality, and the overall feeling of the show. It would be very lovely if Japan couls rerun old anime series on japanese television. Sort of like the Boomerang channel. Better yet, it would be lovely for them to release a channel dedicated to the original versions and broadcast it in other countries. Oh well, KNT is not even remotely over for me. Can't wait for the rest of the TV series to be subbed.

Anyway, big thanks Daisensai and ElonNarai!

[ElonNarai]

And we are done. Next week I will also upload a zip file with all the images (if anyone wants to beat me to it, feel free to do so) and I will also upload the editor files in case you want to translate it to your own language but don't want to be bothered with cleaning.

Thank you, guys...all of you    That was a great read.  The end was kind of befuddled, but overall, I'm happy to see this unofficial official ending!  Again, thanks to all involved!  You've given something great to the SPC/KNT fanbase.

[Mechadon]

Wow. So you're finished! Very much appreciated.

I stopped reading these pages a year ago so I could read the whole finished thing in one go. I'll start saving these, but not now.

[KageReneko]

You really deserve cross your words and say: TENKA MUTEKI NO DAISHOURI!!!

Thanks a lot for all your work...

[Mechadon]

I worry that when everything's said and done, and that there's nothing to look forward to, everyone will just leave.

Hey! I'm not going anywhere.  *holds his breath and collapses on the ground*

[Daisensei]

Judging for the words expressed here, our work has been very well appreciated, thank you very much.
I'm attaching the document file with my English and Portuguese translation. Some of alterations made just before posting aren't within, nor the revision done by ElonNarai in the scanned files. Feel free to use it as you desires, but please don't forget to mention its origin here, at Edo board. I don't want to be famous by this work (after all Daiseisei isn't my real name) but I think any derivative work may be used to attract more members to our board.
Anyway, I'm looking forward for a new work being carried out by another team, to adapt the KNT manga for a more SPC-like story. 

[ElonNarai]

@Harmonex:Patient is a virtue

However the zips (well, rars, I hate zips) are all available on my personal site limegarden.net/KNTManga and if you ask why then it is so that I can delete them in case of legal issues.

PS: If anyone who has completly read the manga would click on it, then I can tell how many people actually enjoyed the manga


As for my future plans
As Harmonex said the scanlation was what I did on this forum. However I have other projects running as well. One of them is Hero Of Allacrost which is a Open Source game (we need more programmers by the way!). Further I'm busy with a mech game sim with a good friend of mine. And finally I'm also busy with preparing my internship as game developer. There is also a story that I want to write for quite sometime and there at least two design documents waiting for me. I think it's clear I have a lot of things still going on.

As for this forum, I don't think I will be active beyond this thread (don't worry, I will still folow this thread) but I can't afford to waste to much time chatting, so I will ignore other threads on purpose.

If you want to keep track of me, you can always follow my blog on limegarden.net (just register on my feed if you worry about missing me ranting about something completly silly) and if you need to contact me, just send me a pm.

Well, I think this is pretty much farewell. You know how to contact me .
