Hmm..OK.. here's a weird thought.. what if this kid being beat up is a young Ganu Yoshida? Or is a characterization of him? I mean, he's not real, but maybe they're trying to give us some back story on him?

ARGH!!! Confusion!

I think I had a better understanding of the manga BEFORE the translation!

Vent-Man said...

Wow that clears everything up..... not really.

Christopher S said...

WHOA!! mindblowing..
I think the New pictures from 1-18-2008.com are from Whistleblower.. BAsed from the Manga now we can safely assume that those ships in the night vision are not US Navy but Tagruato's Private Navy.. they must have captured & transported IT to Chuai Station, but IT wrecked Chuai station.. Now Tagruato's Navy was able to track it & tried to destroy it &possibly fail (Sonar Pictures) to cover it up.. i think the the light haired uy from the manga inside the Tagruato Boat is Whistleblower.. he looks american & carries a camera phone with him & pictures of his wife on his cam-phone is just his cover.. that explains the new pics view-point or perspectives being at sea-level.. Whistleblower is riding one of the Tagruato boats.. hmmm..the last pic(CHUM) is kinda off.. if a small civilian fishing boat like that is fishing or chuming then they are not that far away from coast.. Chuai Station is like in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean..

these comics make no sense to me...

JayBear said...

Does anyone understand it? Someone needs to explain to me what the heck is going on. So he's drinking toilet water for the first like 4 pages? Then a random girl appears to train him. The some guy on a ship is talking about his pregnant wife. You see the chain break and you know something is under the boat. He starts remembering his mother, but I don't understand whats wrong with her. Then suddenly she's dead. He gets angry and feels he needs to unleash some type of wrath and you see some kind of monster rising from water?

what?

I cant wait

guesstimate jones said...

wow, this makes no sense at all.

Inx said...

Kishin is Ganu Yoshida.

His mother is dead. Yeah, it's not much to base a thoery on, but I think this is all a big backstory on Ganu.


Ganu and the monster may have some kind of psychic link.

That or the monster is Ganu's mom, which is something I've considered from the start.

First post here, btw.

And first comment.

Tomás said...

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to excuse me for my bad english because I'm not a native english speaker ;)

Victoria said...

I actually like Manga, and I found it confusing to read too! I'm guessing this was translated word for word? I appreciate the effort though. Better than nothing.

Animi said...

This has nothing to do with this particular post, but since this is the newest one I thought what better place to say this.

I'm not sure if this has been said or thought about before, but I think the deep sea nectar could be an egg of some kind, the egg of a dangerous creature. I believe it must be kept extremely cold so it does not hatch. This is also why on the slusho website it says special scientists will be sent to every store to teach them how to properly take care of the machine.

Perhaps the monster is the "mother" finding out about the eggs being consumed in mass quantity and she attacks. OR, perhaps, the eggs hatch inside of people- causing monsters to explode from them. I don't know, but this is what I think.

I'm currently doing an expiriment where I will leave the page open with those six flavor-bots, perhaps the secret is to wait long enough for the "sea nectar" to get warm and hatch.

Oh well, I'm probably talking to a wall anyway, lmfao. My e-mail is AnimiSomnio@gmail.com if anyone has any cool discoveries or ideas... :P

I realize it's comming out tomorrow, I just like to explore possibilities :D

Stephan said...

This may be a dumb question, but you are supposed to read the left page first and then the right page? I thought that you read them opposite than you would an american book or comic.

review from Entertainment Weekly

Stuve said...

NEW TIDOWAVE POST!!!!FIRST!!!!!

Finally! I'm glad I was on the ball for at least ONE viral update without checking here first.

It sounds like they damaged/angered something, I think now they know about the monster too.

Werewolf961 said...

Well, it's not exactly a great translation and i'm not quite sure what exactly is going on but the one thing I can say for certain is that the kid is not Ganu...it says right on his ID card "Kishin Aiba" (first panel on the 4th page).

Other than that it almost looks like smoke rising from the city in the last panels of the 7th page (if my panel locations aren't clear, remember to read right to left) so maybe the creature was captured in Japan and was being transported for study when it was let loose (possibly by Aiba?)...considering that this is to be continued I don't think it's really supposed to clear anything up yet.

Edwin said...

SOOOO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!
is this read right to left, or what????

i dont see any connection!!! someone help!

Higgins said...

New TIDOwave post....sounds like they know whats going on...and getting ready for a 'war'.....i cannot freakin' wait.

dannyq7 said...

tonite sthe night we all find out how wrong we were about the monster and how lil we were right

Dave said...

This explains the monster's motives. JJ talked about in some interviews about how the monster was startled from his sleep and was just a boy. But I guess it got separated from its mom and that's what has caused it to lash out like this.

tom said...

There we go...

According to some information on the Cloverfield comic found here:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=12752, there's a connection between Kishin, his mother,

and the monster.

Kishin's mother is dead - he himself wishes he had died with her, but he hasn't, he's been captured in a storage

room and is getting pissed off about it. A simple analogy suggests that the mother of "baby Clover" has died.
I think the Japanese government sattelite (Chimpanz III), which is seen falling in the Coney Island scene, wakes

Clovers momma near Chuai station, which was set up there in september '07 (check the Tagruato site), not to

harvest oil (according to Whistleblower) but to harvest the deep sea nectar.

Clovers momma gets pissed cuz Tagruato's stealing her eggs/food, so she destroys Chuai, after which Tagruato's

army destroys her - hence the 1-18-08 pictures of that battle at sea and (as a result) some sperm whales and a

giant claw (which then would belong to Clover's mother) at the beach. This leaves baby Clover alone, and with a

bad temper.

The harbor-bound ship in the comic seems to be the same ship as the destroyed tanker from the movies. Maybe the

ship was towing dead Mama Clover to a place noone would find her (it certainly is towing something as we can see

in the comic), but destroyed as baby Clover surfaced to even the score.

The guys at TIDOwave knew about the deap sea nectar harvest for a while, because they were captured at Chuai

station (Teddy, who had been working for TIDOwave, states in his tape to Jamie that he had been captured at one

of their stations). But Chuai, and with it the guys from TIDOwave, was destroyed by Clover's momma. Before that

there has been an exchange of information with the TIDOwave HQ though, which explains their last post (on

january 17th, 2 days before the incident): they know there are monsters down there, and an attack is imminent.

They just can't do a whole lot about it. Why they don't ring the alarmbells confuses me though...

The end of the comic shows many egg sacks so i think the monster that attcked Japan is the mother or is related to the one that attacked New York.
