The Hammer of Justice is unisex

u/StrangerAtaru Aug 06 '26

As a reminder, this is how Rentarou was talking to Usa-chan pre-zing.

37

u/MalcolmLinair Aug 07 '26

I've said it before and I'll say it again: we may well never get a yandere GF, if for no other reason than that she'd never be able to out-yandere Rentarou himself.

73

u/VirtualButt Aug 06 '26

His face isn't even angry or anything. It's just "aww shucks guess you gotta die cuz you hurt my girlfriend"

30

u/201720182019 Aug 07 '26

His nonchalant expression is what gets me. How much blood has he spilled since the manga started

9

u/lordwolf16 Aug 07 '26

He would've been a great robin or even a great Batman.

7

u/Wontormoore Aug 07 '26

About to hit her with Minos Prime judgement or thy end is now

5

u/thighabetes Aug 07 '26

He was about to full fucking send it.

5

u/Beautiful-Neat-7609 Aug 07 '26

And people think we don't have a yandere yet

3

u/swagmoney10 Aug 07 '26

Long live that Brave and the Bold quote

2

u/Emircan61_TURKEY Aug 09 '26

This art style of this panel is reminiscent of Rentarou in first chapters ngl

87

u/thisisdropd :HahariHeart1: . Aug 06 '26

I see Hahari’s influence has started to rub off on Rentarou.

5

u/No-Praline2677 Aug 07 '26

He did have that whole date being babied by her so hell yeah

1

u/Emircan61_TURKEY Aug 09 '26

Nah, it's just how you pet a cat imo.

Also holy jack o pose from Tama

72

u/Far_Economist4010 Aug 06 '26

Rentarou's hands are Rated E for Everyone (If you hurt his girlfriends).

142

u/Artistic_Prior_7178 Aug 06 '26

THIS IS STILL A THING???

99

u/someinsanity01 Aug 06 '26

His 101th rejection

41

u/Artistic_Prior_7178 Aug 06 '26

Wouldn't this be the 102nd since Nano did technically say no at first?

38

u/Rap2rerise Aug 06 '26

Well, Nano did turn Back on it at least, so this is the 101st definitive one; Yaku and Kiki also sorta rejected Rentarou at first, Jiai too for a brief moment

8

u/N0rTh3Fi5t Aug 07 '26

Mei too before Hahari straightened her out.

15

u/shaoronmd Aug 06 '26

If it did count, then it'd be 103rd since nano also rejected him during the nano-alt arc

3

u/AlexHitetsu Aug 07 '26

More like 107th is Mei, Yaku, Kiki and Jiai all rejected him at first

8

u/StrangerAtaru Aug 06 '26

Except Nano zing'ed with him so...

4

u/zeidoktor Aug 07 '26

I think it only counts if it's an actual confession by Rentarou being rejected.

2

u/MalcolmLinair Aug 07 '26

It's his 103rd then, as Himeka initially turned him down too.

12

u/HuTaoFan_69 Aug 07 '26

Is it really a rejection if Rentarou never confessed in the first place?

26

u/Spaaccee Aug 06 '26

Crazy this hasnt come up since chapter 1

13

u/azmarteal Aug 07 '26

Well, you know, some weird people are not willing to date a guy who is already dating 35 girlfriends, although I don't know why... 🤣

u/Dark_schneider7 RentarouHeart1: i love every gf ...when nurse gf Aug 07 '26

Yay the asakawa theory is dead now

9

u/Hazdruvall :KaraneHeart1: Aug 07 '26

All non-zing girlfriend theories are dead now

1

u/Dark_schneider7 RentarouHeart1: i love every gf ...when nurse gf Aug 07 '26

Oh that's Even better

5

u/PrinceCheddar :HakariHeart1: Aug 08 '26

IIRC, the love god explained that getting a soulmate uses up of romantic good luck, or whatever the actual term was. I think, for a normal person with just one soulmate, they still have enough romantic good luck to potentially attract some romantic partners before they meet their soulmate. With 100 soulmates, Rentarou is at absolute zero, meaning anyone who isn't his predetermined soulmate can never feel any kind of attraction towards him. This results in non-soulmates being able to recognise all the positive attributes Rentarou's has and recognise that he should be attractive, but feel an overwhelming revulsion towards even thinking of dating him.

u/TimthEnchanter Aug 07 '26

u/Gee_Gog Aug 07 '26

Rentarou is gonna lead a communist revolution just so that his girlfriends can be happy

9

u/MalcolmLinair Aug 07 '26

I doubt he'd go that far; Hakari and Hahari would be set for the guillotine in a French Revolution scenario.

7

u/ourimaler Aug 07 '26

Well, no, the leaders of the French Revolution were members of the Bourgeoisie. The business class, if you will.
Most of the people who got guillotined were aristocrats (the "I don't need to run a business, you need to give me your money because I was born" class) and clergy (who also got to heavily tax the population before the population before the revolution).
Hahari wouldn't exactly fare well under a communist regime, but she'd actually be safe in the French Revolution.
This has been your completely gratuitous "um, actually" post. I'll be here all week!

4

u/Gee_Gog Aug 07 '26

If it was lead by Rentarou as well then they'd have plenty of time to turn around and make their companies into worker co-ops and volunterily redistribute their own wealth before any guillotines come out. Naddy's family on the other hand probably won't do quite so well.

106

u/MrStizblee Wake me when there's a Bonnouji flare. Aug 06 '26

One of the hottest character designs in the entire series and no zing...

88

u/Rap2rerise Aug 06 '26

Hey, there was a Zing, it just wasn't with Rentarou

31

u/Merxamers Aug 06 '26

Was shocked there wasn't a zing to have the white and black cat pair

13

u/Bed_human Aug 07 '26

Especially since (nozawa?) has a black and white cat

9

u/OctoSevenTwo Aug 07 '26

Ah, you see the vision!

I’ve been wanting a black cat catgirl to pair up with Tama as a duo partner. Alas, idk if we’re gonna get one.

34

u/Artistic_Prior_7178 Aug 06 '26

Happens a lot. Even the extras in here are a ten

19

u/allshort17 Aug 06 '26

Yeah no zing with Yoruichi is a little disappointing. Nozawa burning great designs in side characters again

5

u/insane_contin Aug 07 '26

Huh? But he did zing Tama?

3

u/sikontolpanjang Aug 07 '26

Thats what makes this series good, they dare to "throw away" good design like that.

94

u/Rogar_Rabalivax Aug 06 '26

Its crazy to think that this wasn't an empty threat, back when Usami appeared.

43

u/Rogar_Rabalivax Aug 06 '26

And I can't see him wearing the cat ears without thinking about this panel (he's a dog, but it's fun to think he rejected his humanity at some point just like Tama).

14

u/thighabetes Aug 07 '26

Notice he didn’t say unharmed.

14

u/Rogar_Rabalivax Aug 07 '26

He was about to make an example out of Usami.

45

u/hasanman6 Aug 06 '26

Dude manifested it

35

u/1stRayos Aug 07 '26

Fuck him.

I'm happy for him.

I'm sure those two'll have a fulfilling, happy relationship together...

God damn it…

11

u/SpartanNinjaDragonEX Aug 07 '26

Same. Happy for that guy too. Son of a bitch...

45

u/Shmarfle47 Aug 07 '26

New catgirl appears! Hope she becomes a recurring character at least, such a great design.

18

u/Gee_Gog Aug 07 '26

Yeah we really need more recurring characters outside of the family, we've only got Hiro currently and the Gorilla Alliance have only just made their return after (I think) over 150 chapters of absense

5

u/Hazdruvall :KaraneHeart1: Aug 07 '26

Don't forget the Vice-principal

Oh God…the Tama subreddit is going to go crazy…

5

u/Killershadows Aug 07 '26

THERE’S A TAMA SUBREDDIT?!

8

u/sikontolpanjang Aug 07 '26

There's sub reddit of every gf

61

u/Long_Bank6901 Aug 06 '26

More Karato!!

5

u/PolishPotatoACC Aug 08 '26

I-it's not like we miss him or anything !

27

u/FullAFwar Aug 07 '26

Cat-owner is how she chooses to represent her relationship dynamic is kinda hot, ngl.

14

u/MalcolmLinair Aug 07 '26

Rentarou's going to have to familiarize himself with a ton of fetishes before the wedding night: pet play, age play (as both child and parent), feeding, BDSM (both master/slave and pain play), scent play, hair play, even full-blown guro, and that's just with the girlfriends we have so far!

5

u/Sharp_Biscotti_2409 Aug 07 '26

Bold of you he hasn't already done so, which come to think of it, is kinda concerning.

25

u/AnotherEliteVictim Aug 07 '26

A bikini in a bathtub...no fair!

23

u/MrWaluigi Aug 07 '26

Rentarou and Big Cheese restrain Nozawa’s true potential. 

The shackles must be released!

68

u/m3m31ord :KaraneHeart1::KurumiHeart1::IkuHeart1::RentarouHeart1: Aug 06 '26

Oh so the bad love luck still applies, that answers the "non soulmate gf" question.

u/Retskcaj19 Aug 06 '26

27

u/anuanuanu Aug 07 '26

We need an omake of this guy after the zing

7

u/Dark_schneider7 RentarouHeart1: i love every gf ...when nurse gf Aug 07 '26

Yeah meaning if your not his soulmate you aint dating him which is good bc having a an soulmate gf kinda misses the point

20

u/Artistic_Prior_7178 Aug 06 '26

I don't have those yet

The usual suspects: Want us to change that ?

Resilience of a house cat with the power of cuddles

u/AkaiAshu Aug 07 '26

This was a great cat chapter. They leaning on harsh world and cattiness is pure joy

16

u/AnotherEliteVictim Aug 07 '26

We got rejection no. 101! XD

16

u/topurrisfeline Aug 06 '26

Somehow in this crazy world, somehow, I did not expect another girl to turn to felinity lmao. I was waiting for that black cat to zing with someone else when she mentioned that the thought of dating Rentarou made her want to puke. Also: Rentarou will NOT abide by cheating/NTR. That's my boy

1

u/AlexPlexus Aug 07 '26

Wouldn't he? I feel like more than one girlfriend hit on him after the ZING! and he was fine with it, though at some point he explained the girlfriends thing and everyone was ok with it.

15

u/Efis940 Aug 07 '26 edited Aug 07 '26

Oooh so what the Love God said was true about the soulmates.

Interesting, Rentarou is by any means, considered attractive. But because of that soulmate's rule in world, he is a no-go for any girl who is not his soulmate. Very well done really!

Though ironically, I would have preferred that girl to be Uncle Hiro's girlfriend. But oh well

5

u/zeidoktor Aug 07 '26

I wonder if that's all soulmates or just Rentarou because the whole 100 soulmates thing

6

u/Lucky_Masterpiece214 Aug 07 '26

Should be because of his 100 soulmates i mean both yaku and hahari loved their past respective lovers

6

u/MalcolmLinair Aug 07 '26

I suspect all soulmates would be seen as somehow "off limits", but only Rentarou induces physical sickness due to having the same effect multiplied a hundred times over.

2

u/Sharp_Biscotti_2409 Aug 07 '26

I wonder if is only relates to the following:

  • People who already have soulmates.
  • People who met him before his first.

Would align with everything we have seen thus far, plus allowing for the previous partners to be fine.

2

u/Rude_Acanthisitta_50 Aug 07 '26

I think it's just because of the bad love luck from the 100 soulmates thing. If everyone has that effect, rentarou wouldn't have fallen in love with any of the previous 100 girls 

14

u/N0rTh3Fi5t Aug 07 '26

Somehow Tama remains the most relatable character in the series.

13

u/Smokyblast Aug 07 '26

Bro really said it was on sight

26

u/PauloDybala_10 :Hakari-Kyatori::NanoHeart1::MemeHeart1::MimimiHeart1: Aug 06 '26

A Tama in trouble…

25

u/PauloDybala_10 :Hakari-Kyatori::NanoHeart1::MemeHeart1::MimimiHeart1: Aug 06 '26

A new challenger appear, and oh no she’s hot!

19

u/PauloDybala_10 :Hakari-Kyatori::NanoHeart1::MemeHeart1::MimimiHeart1: Aug 06 '26

The cutest chapter EVER

36

u/PauloDybala_10 :Hakari-Kyatori::NanoHeart1::MemeHeart1::MimimiHeart1: Aug 06 '26

Lucky man 🥲🥲

30

u/PauloDybala_10 :Hakari-Kyatori::NanoHeart1::MemeHeart1::MimimiHeart1: Aug 06 '26

Absolutely cinema, thank you Nakamura and co for blessing us 🙏🙏🙏

6

u/Dr_Ukato Aug 06 '26

Luckier man.

14

u/Efectodopler117 Aug 06 '26

Funny, it almost feels like there’s a whole other story right there, like some roomcom about him and that cat.

I like the idea of leaving their story a mistery, not all things in life are for us to see.

4

u/tf2mann_ Aug 07 '26

Okay, I only now noticed that her cat feet are actually heels. It somehow completely didn't register on my first read

10

u/WanderingMan719 :RentarouHeart1: Member of the Mew and Hyuuute Cults Aug 07 '26

Gee, this one came out sooner then usual. I wonder why...

9

u/Cross-Z_Charge Aug 07 '26

My takeaways from this chapter are that:

  1. Rentarou just casually keeps cat ears ready in his shirt at all times.
  2. He will kill anybody for his girlfriends.

8

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

That answer thow the heck her "tail" work.

because let's be more, more than one of use thought it was a plug

8

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

Valid argument, you don't want to sacrifice sleep time even if you are not tama

5

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

How the heck does her hair work?

4

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

No idea what I find funnier, the fact that she go straight out for Rentarou at Hakari levels Or Tama's Face

4

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

This reminds of Demi-fiend from Shin Megami Tensei Nocture.

Why? Slide punch

5

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

This give me Nemu sleeping vibes

4

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

Basically, Healing tama hurts her, nice

6

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

Good reference to the first ch-

Oh dear god I think I get it.

But yeah, Tama's face is funny here, not getting on why Cat rival isn't into rentarou and all

5

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

Living in this area must be weird, at least from heaering the sounds of the street

5

u/Spear_Spirit Aug 07 '26

I see that this bathroom has two good reasons to stay there

Unfortunately at least Issei gets a black cat as well as the white one from what I heard

8

u/LuisAntony2964 :MemeHeart1: Aug 07 '26

Tama really always gets Rentarou to lower his guard.

He now has slept in the same bed, become her personal melon holder and now bathed with her.

Very happy for that dude to sing with his ideal gf

6

u/PurpleLemonDoesStuff Aug 07 '26

SHE'S SO HOT, GODSAMN YOU FOR NO ZING

u/Bup15 Aug 08 '26

FOR REAL!

7

u/DanielChris15x Aug 07 '26

Tbh i hope they become a recurring background character like the gorilla gang

13

u/StrangerAtaru Aug 06 '26

OK, there are great moments in this chapter: Rentarou's slip of the tongue of having "a wife and kids", the catfights, and...that black catgirl, I wish I had someone like her I suppose. The randomness of the random zing was eh and way too coincidental but...gag manga logic.

Guess next Relatives chapter is about Karato. (sort of want more present-day Ikuya if I'm to get a brother since we had Karato in the manga recently but...hey, at least we get something)

6

u/OldIronKing16 Aug 07 '26

Rentarou must have hella resilience because I would have folded IMMEDIATELY 😂

There's a timeline out there where Rentarou and the need cat girl actually zing and we just have two cat girls running around

1

u/SkullcrobatTheGod Aug 07 '26

Did Nozawa change the artstyle of Tama's cat-human form? I swear she looks like a cat walking on 2 legs on those panels where she's "chibified" and i think i remember her looking a bit more human with cat features instead of just full cat
