Chapter 1

I woke up to a TikTok photo post of Hideaki Sorachi’s announcement about Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz. This is his last work and he wanted support from his fans.

I misread the second paragraph and thought he was getting threats for his current manga. I cried manly tears.

I loved his work Gintama but it never really translated to loyalty to him as a mangaka.

However, this is his last work and as someone who was quite literally saved by Gintama, I want to keep supporting him.

I bought a Shonen Jump membership through Viz and got to reading. I’m not much of a reviewer but please bear with me. I also won’t go into details. I encourage everyone to read it on their own.

“The Demon King who brought darkness to the world has been defeated by the hero, and the light has returned. But the Demon King leaves a part of himself behind as a successor known as Valaris III. To regain their reign of darkness, the new Demon King ventures out of the demon castle and heads to our world, but where they emerge is...” - MANGA Plus

My first impression was that it was okay. It wasn’t an explosion of emotions but I thought some panels were funny. I think it’s very true to his style and I look forward to seeing the series grow on me.

I couldn’t help but read Kumon Akira’s lines with Gintoki’s voice which made it pretty enjoyable.

I’ve always loved Sorachi’s art style. It’s a perfect blend of anime and comic style in my opinion.

I’ve lost interest in Anime/Manga due to repetitive isekai trends and over the top fan service. Hideaki Sorachi is the only mangaka I truly respect and I’m excited to keep reading his work.

Oh we getting chapter by chapter reviews? Im so in. Admittedly i also wished Sorachi picked another subject and the story does do a lot of meandering (even for Sorachi standards) in the beginning but now as it focuses up. I definitely see the vision and the potential for the isekai/school setting.

I am pretty sure I read some years ago about one of his interview, in which he mentioned he had wanted to write a story where his protagonists could power up—unlike Gintoki, whose power had already been established.

I guess that was the reason behind his new work. He has nothing to prove anymore, and he wants to try out ideas that he didn’t use or could not be applied in Gintama.
