Ivory Bridges: Background reading
May. 24th, 2010 12:59 pmI was asked for an entry pointing to particular episodes and issues that have to do with Kazuki and his harem, and contain the necessary background for the forthcoming Getbackers longfic. Here we are!
Kazuki and his style: episode 13 or Return to Infinity Fortress 7-8. (Be aware, there are translation errors in this, Akame is actually of the Western school; this will be important later. Also, warning for Himiko's clothes getting torn off, fortunately not nearly as extensively as usual.)
Kazuki v Juubei: episode 19 or Infinity Fortress 28-32.
Kazuki, Toshiki, Juubei: episode 48 (Note: the plot lead-up diverges a lot from the manga, but the basics are still there.) or Kami no Kijitsu 26-31. (Note: Kazuki has previously been mystically brainwashed by Toshiki, here, that's all the prep you really need.)
The anime ended after this point.
Kazuki's gang Fuuga: Voodoo Child 9-10.
Saizou's introduction: Voodoo Child 13-14.
Saizou's betrayal: Voodoo Child 24.
Saizou and Yohan: Get Back the Lost Time 1.
Kazuki as Prince of Terror: Lost Time 6-7. (Note: This is intercut with Ban and Ginji fighting Yohan's siblings Maiya and Yuuri, and Maiya is the personification of skeezy fanservice; I do use her character, so you may wish to have a look, but go in warned.)
After this, it's all text translations and raw scans. I highly recommend the middle of volume 33 and all of 36, for the pivotal fights between Kazuki and Saizou, and Kazuki and Yohan.

jk's excellent translation of vol 36, which Getbackers Respect does not have.
( Short summary of salient points; spoilers, obviously )
