Blame! The Complete Story! 

“But the exterminator traps him in a cube-like sphere” lmfao

Dude I read this thing in 3 days and every time I fell asleep I had visuals from this manga. No kidding. 3 nights in a row that's all I dreamt of. I woke up feeling disturbed and weirded out everytime. Just goes to show how striking powerful and memorable the mangas visuals are

Blame! definitely feels like a cyberpunk fever dream.

BRO I LITERALLY ASKED FOF THIS VIDEO LETS GO, i got so hyped seeing this in my sub feed

Berserk and Blame. The best mangas of all time.

This manga could definitely go on. It could continue with Killy and the kid entering the Net Sphere and destroying it from within. Putting an end to the safeguards.

I first encountered BLAME! in my high school years in the early 2000´s. Still my all time favorite manga, which I reread every other year or so and every time I do, there are new details or subtleties to discover. Very glad this work is finally getting broader attention.

This channel deserves way more credit for this, understanding the BLAME! universe is already impossible but then he even explained it in detail and with good story telling. Underrated

Fantastic summary of the best manga of all time! The chapters about the death of Linvega and level 9 download were complicated and not clear to me, so here is what I got from the Japanese Blame! community: When Linvega was killed, he/she (gender was not mentioned in the original Japanese version: he/she used 私 = I but it is gender free) stole the info of level 9 exterminator and downloaded to his/her body. At the same time, Chibo used Linvega's body/facility and downloaded the info (embryo) about how to make the Net Terminal Gene using her and Sanakan's genes. That's why Linvega sunk into the river, but immediately reemerged in the next page. It was Chibo standing there. Since Linvega and the safe guard have no reason to create an exterminator with an embryo which can potentially fix the expansion of city, it has to be Chibo who added that part as well. Before Linvega/Chibo died, she told the administration that she couldn't control herself, and she just wanted to see the Net Sphere. Based on what happened before, it is more natural to assume it was Chibo who said that. I mean, after all she was a researcher once tried to connect to the Net but failed. Fun fact: after being downloaded, level 9 actually healed Killy's arm. It was destroyed by Pcell. Yet, Killy shot level 9, that's probably why after healing for 14 years, Killy found his GBE he shot it crazy. Here Killy showed some emotion (anger?), which is super rare. I liked this scene because it shows Killy and Chobo's bond in a subtle way.

I bought all 6 of the Master Edition, finished it and immediately took to the internet out of pure confusion. God I wish Nihei would do more with this universe.

I've been seeing more and more videos and people talking about BLAME!, I'm so glad this masterpiece is finally gaining popularity. It is my all time favorite manga and I've probably reread it more times than I can count. Nothing beats BLAME!.

The kind of world building in this manga is insane , while reading it i felt as if i was in some weird world. I want a series on this but I beleive it will be really hard to capture the darkness and environment that the manga has

I think this definitely a once in a lifetime type of story that is worth reading every page of this series because of how unique and complex yet simple of a story this series is. I just wish I knew about it sooner than I did

This is one of the greatest manga of all time. its really meditative in the early parts.

When pewdiepie gave me a glimpse of panel in blame!, it looks like a painting than a manga. The landscape is a kin to zdzisław beksiński work, i heard and see many references about blame in other title, like sidonia another author work, his work is something else that i like with

If anyone decides to read this I strongly recommend finding the master edition. I found the translation much better, there is a worse translation that seems to be around more commonly. When I swapped to the master edition I could follow the plot a lot better. Also do give this manga a shot if you haven't, I loved it. I am glad to see a video on it so more people discover this.

I really find frightening how huge that city is. At this point even Coruscant is smaller.

I've tried my best to recreate the settings in blame while lucid dreaming. Trying to focus too much on the finer details just ends up either creating a mess, or making everything look really hazy

The Blame! setting is one of the most thought provoking fictional universes created. I was introduced to the manga from the Netflix movie. I thought it was excellent. I wish they made more as there is so much potential for Killy to encounter other tribes and have adventures while searching for the Net Terminal gene.

Love to see you do a complete story of chainsaw man as I love to see how you talk about complex stories but you describe in a way you can see a clearer meaning to every panel to the manga.

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE AHHHHH I ALWAYS WANT TO READ THESE BUT HAVE NO TIME, SO THE VIDEOS HELP SOOO MUCH - THANK YOUUUUUU

My man, this manga, and Nihei’s other works are just phenomenal. The man is a manga god.

I love nihei-sense is work! Bio mega is my favorite, but I’ve started aposimz and I like it a lot as well. He is just great at building intrigue and world building. His armor/ creature designs are awesome too!

I bought the complete omnibus collection about a year ago and the large full page panels are absolutely hypnotic some of the panels you can stare at for several minutes finding new details and just imagining oneself being there.

I love the fact that you were able summarize this story. Plus I love that you covered Noise cause I’ve never read it

Thank you so much for providing this recap. This is such an underrated gem.

Thanks for your time! I really enjoyed every second.

This story is one hell of a ride that i dont think anybody should miss out on.

Let's goooooooooooo!!!!! Man you always come in clutch when making new story manga

When I was reading this manga I listened to Machine Girl and Sewerslvt, the music is perfect for this manga

Let's go! keep it up👌🏿 Am gonna retry reading Blame really need to understand this gem.

Very well narrated, thank you for the great work

This the most awesome RU-vid video ever ! Congratulations and thanks for this 🎉

I just got back from the bookstore and picked up Blame! Vol 1. It is my first Manga ever so consider your video a huge success! Thanks for the vid

Your descriptions addd a lot of richness to each scene. Pros

I love Blame!. Thank you for making this video.

Thank you my friend,this was great,blame is just amazing

The story being called Blame! But ACTUALLY sounding like Blam is my favorite part of this

thank you so much for this video look forward to your follow up blame video!

Keep it up man 👑

I just read Blame! recently, and this video was very helpful for explaining some details that happened in the story, which I didn't understand on my own. I hope you're still planning on making that second video on explaining some of the finer points of the plot, you mention at the end. We need more Blame! content.

keep making these, youre the best!!

There are several points throughout Blame! where the amount of time that has passed is unknown. Also, there are several elements of the story where you make guesses at what was happening. Usually, there is no certain information presented in the Manga. Even when the author gives out what appears to be answers to things that are going on, there is no way of knowing whether or not that information is accurate. The amount of time between the prequel Noise and Blame! is also unknown, but given the apparent size of the City, it could been tens of thousands or even millions of years later. In Noise, the character states that the city has reached the moon. This causes numerous issues. If the Sol solar system, except for the Sun (Sol itself), were dismantled, there would not be enough material to build outward from the Earth's surface to the point at which Luna orbits the Earth today (Luna itself would have long since dismantled before that point). I think you could make it by dismantling Sol itself. Fortunately, it is stated (also in Noise) that "...materials continued to arrive from somewhere..." This gives the possibility that an interstellar operation is underway to dismantle every solar system and gas cloud available. As in, everything in the Milky Way galaxy. You'd need it all to build out the "City" to somewhere between the current orbital radius of Jupiter and Pluto. It's hard to tell exactly. The amount of open space overall in the City is unknown. The density of materials used in construction is unknown, but since it often appears to made made entirely of nanosystems (advanced machines and entities are formed from it frequently), and because of some of it's inter-level layers to have immense resistance to damage, it gives thee impression of high density.

Omg omg omg I'm so happy that you're covering blam!!

bro.... do this for every anime, please, ESPECIALLY the f***** weird ones.... seriously good work man, keep it up

it`s magic man, Thnx! Great work

Great video, love BLAME! in a big way. Excellent content!

I always wanted to read this but never had the time and way you go into everything ...just thanks.

First time I read Blame! manga is from a friend that I borrowed in 2010, and I was hooked at it ever since. I really liked the architecture design on each pages and Killy is badass. Abara is also a good read from Tsotsumo Nihei, if you like Badass Bone Armor designs.

I've read a lot of dark horror-esq manga but something about Blame in particular makes me really feel it

Your grind is amazing

I honestly think PANDORUM took inspiration from this manga on the way the spaceship looked.

Just watched the Netflix movie tonight. It was interesting. So much infact that I must learn everything about this property. Ur video was a big help with this. Thank you.

I watched the movie years ago and didn't know I needed this video until today

Sad to say I’ve never heard of this manga the art is beautiful. Great vid my man

First person to do a full story on this series. Thank you

Thank you this is pretty cool

Just finished blame. I think in the end it sadly just wasn't my cup of tea. For me personally it was way too confusing and weirdly written, but that's makes it so special. Even tho I say I didn't liked it as much as the most people, everyone should give it a try. It's definitly a one in a lifetime experience. It's so creative and absolutely unique. It's not my favourite Manga and imo not the best I read, but I can understand everyone who thinks this is one of the best manga oat.

I love blame on of my favorite manga, this was a pretty nice summery. I will check the anime out real quick.

Wolverine: Snikt! is a five-issue comic book limited series written and drawn by manga artist Tsutomu Nihei, published by Marvel Comics in 2003

that was brilliant, i hope you do make a follow up to BLAME

You're the goat for these full timeline videos 🔥

Thank you🙌

Blame! Vibes: from sci-fi cyberpunk to surreal sci-fi horror

Thank you 👑

More Blame! content would be highly appreciated!

There are two more "sequel" chapters. One where a long lost descendent of PCELL and her tribe of Silicon Beings consider Killy a 'calamity' (as if he's some bogeyman as strong as a hurricane) and they avoid humans. One day the tribe is seen by the humans, and the humans control a builder to kill the tribe, implying humans now have partial control over the netsphere and the City. PCELL's descendent escapes, encounters human a human settlement, gets damaged and hides for a while, before eventually healing and going to the edge of the city. She tries to leave but safeguards attack her, she is saved by Killy. She wakes up on the outside surface of the city, grows wings, and flies into space looking for a place to safely repopulate her race of silicon creatures (of which she carries their genetic info). Another chapter was supposed to be a direct sequel, not just a side story. A town of humans discovers safeguards, but the elder who has was born in the capital and has some sort of net terminal genes contacts the capital for help. The human "knights" attack the safeguard nest which is a safeguard tower, but the knights get destroyed except for 1 who barely gets away. When the surviving knight wakes up, a "net sphere engineer" arrives from the capital into town. Engineer tells everyone to stay put, he's going to do his job. He goes to the safeguard tower where safeguards spawn from, but none attack him because of his special necklace. He starts working on the tower dismantling it. However the lone knight survivor shows up, all the safeguards attack her. Engineer puts his necklace on her while he attacks all the safeguards, including one giant safeguard. Engineer barely wins and dismantles the tower. Survivor wakes up and he's gone. The town finds an entrance to the lower megastructure but cannot open it, and the comic ends.

The world of blame is so interesting the sheer size of it is cosmic horror at its finest.

Great job. After finishing the manga twice there still a lot I didn't unterstand. Your video cleared some things up. Is there a reson why you didn't include the 2 canon chapters from the spin-off volume "BLAME! Academy and So On"?

Like your vids man keep it up

Even with this explained I'm still like what the fuck is going on lol

The things dat make diz story special: its short, has an undertandable ending, has a conclusion of the story. I sooo like the feeling of scare, this future world, which maxed all technology including time travelling, the city with the size of Solar system,where Jupitor is just a room. Holy cow... the world almost without hope, killy walked the whole Solar system!

Thank you!

You deserve a million followers

Honestly really hard to follow this manga reading it myself lol, so I appreciate the narration.

Thank You Sir.

I just finished this series and I feel like even after this video it’s going to need another read through or 4

BLAME! is really a masterpiece of a manga, Tsutomu Nihei truly is a unique and rare artist that needs more recognition. This manga is truly unique, the scenery... The buildings... The megastructure... Our protagonist, Killy, and Cibo... The safeguards, the silicon life, and the government agency.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Much love

thanks for you make this video

Amazing manga. Great video.

I came here because i speed runned the manga in 2 days and wanted to wrap the story around, great video i hope we've got to see if there was a net terminal gene in the sphere

This was definitely a hidden gem for me.

Your speaking style grates my ears

Imma get my popcorn for this one :>

Thanks for this video. I just finished the manga and I was confused almost as much as I was after watching Evangelion. I love the idea for Blame and the art style i so good, but i didn't get the story at all.

My favorite Manga with nothing even coming close in any capacity whatsoever.

The art work is so nice , I hope they would fix a movie of it like Ghost in the shell , gave me similar vibes ! Great manga

The greatest manga of all time for me is Alita battle Angel, or Gunnm. Yes Blame! is put together with expertly crafted art and story telling but I just love the Alita manga with all my heart

King 👑

I read BLAME! to the soundtrack of the first ‘selected ambient works’ by Aphex Twin. It fits so well.

very nice video

BLAME! is one of my favorite manga, due to its lore, atmosphere and combatants.

What was the small boy/girl who revived themself? Prior to meeting this boy Killy GBE's a silicon-life baby creche, we are shown that age doesn't affect his prejudice towards silicon-life. After this scene Killy meets the silicon-life observing and postulating upon one of the storage spaces within the mega-structure and acts more or less indifferent towards Killy. Where prior we've seen silicon life be come immediately hostile, or if they are not, are only appearing friendly as to lure Killy into a trap. We are shown Killy is hostile to silicon life, even if they are benign So this boy/girl can survive their head being blown off, and multiple wounds to the thorax and stomach, revive, and murder three trained soldiers with its bare hands within the blink of an eye. Gives food to Killy, and neither Killy nor the boy ever act hostile towards one another. It does not appear to be safeguard either, because Killy appears to be hostile to safeguard who're masquerading for ambush purposes, or are intending to harm humans within his proximity. Is it another type of Killy?

The 80s and 90s were amazing

What are your thoughts on NOISE? it's equally atmospheric and has those same vibes that you get from the lore videos for dune or the alien universe. Ridley Scott would probably do this series justice

Really love love tsutomo nihei always cybernatic mixed bio apolcalypse theme

To be fair you have to have a pretty high IQ to enjoy Blame! Oh wait wrong story

Just finished Blame! a couple of days ago. Even though it sort of ends on a high note (Killy protecting Cibu and Sarnakar's child) the world itself is depressing, horrific and I find it hard to see it all ending in a positive way. I love the ecology of the world, the Synthetic life and a complex net sphere. Unlike most Manga worlds that I like, I would not want to live in the world of Blame....endless violence in an impossibly huge world...filled with critters that want to kill or use you. I loved Knights of Sidonia...and I really, really like Blame!....Was just really depressed at the end of it. I will probably go back and read it again at some point. Can't believe we don't have a PC game based on Blame.

Theres also a couple of mini one shot sequels in "BLAME! Academy - and So On". Nothing grand, but they do show that after some time humans are now in control and activly hunt Silicon Life. Blame!2 also has an Authority guy in Base reality that goes around disabling old safe guard towers.
