homunculus manga ending explained
What’s also interesting is that these parallels in execution exist
despite the fact that the two imitator series in question
focus on entirely distinct elements of the Monogatari formula. C3 is an action harem where the protagonist does psychotherapy for girls with supernatural afflictions. And Undead Girl Murder Farce is a supernatural detective full of verbal foreplay between a human-turned-supernatural invincible MC and his aristocratic, sharp-witted Yamato Nadeshiko girlfriend. Which doubles as a description of one more series, Kyokou Suiri, by the way, when I call all these shows “imitations,” I REALLY mean it.
But enough about their similarities, the actual important part is the differences. The unique selling point of Monogatari is the best prose ever created by man and post-modern reflections on the otaku culture. The unique selling point of Kyokou Suiri is the namesake “made-up deductions” deconstruction of the murder mystery genre. And this is where the troubles with Undead Girl Murder Farce begin, it just doesn’t have a unique selling point. It’s set in the XIX century Europe, except it’s not really the XIX century Europe, but rather The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen cinematic universe, with Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper,
Arsene Lupin and so on appearing as characters. Which has been done to death. There is also the fact that the supernatural in this universe exists in the open, as an organic part of society, but the story barely explores this aspect.

Pickle Wars Saga[] At first, Baki doesn't
want to face Pickle. Only after realizing he is possibly stronger than Yuujirou he decides to do it. During the fight Baki uses the whip
strike to hurt Pickle. He also uses his mental imaging to become a dinosaur hybrid in Pickle's eyes, terrifying him and finally ending with he's intent to use technique in order to win. The outcome of the match between Baki and Pickle could be considered to have gone either way: Pickle is the one who was left standing after the fight with Baki, but inadvertently used a "weapon", in the form of a martial arts technique, to beat him. As stated by the onlookers a "weapon" is a tool used by the "weak" against the "strong", which would make Baki the true winner of the fight for having cornered Pickle.
