Are there scans of the BWM manga out now? Mimi (talk) 13:44, 2 March 2014 (EST)

Alas no, I scrounged around google images in Japanese for this. I found this website, which offers summaries (from a native speaker, so better than what we've got right now) of a few chapters of the manga with some photographs. - Chris McFeely (talk) 13:47, 2 March 2014 (EST)

We might even be able to get some titles out of it, or enough clarifications on Dave's summaries to make articles. - Chris McFeely (talk) 14:04, 2 March 2014 (EST)
Looking at the pictures of the title pages, I don't think the individual issues have titles; there's just typical manga taglines ("The Saint of Massacres. His name is... Jaguar!!!!"). IIRC, the BWII/BWN titles were added in the TPB. Mimi (talk) 14:12, 2 March 2014 (EST)
The website does give titles, but I'm not sure if it's something official or something that person made up, but here:
  • "The Rebirth of the Hero" (勇者の復活)
  • "The Immortal Monster" (不死身の怪物)
  • "The Jet-Black Condemned" (漆黒の断罪者)
  • The Red Thread of Love and Death" (愛と死の赤い糸)
  • The Dead Strike Back" (逆襲の亡者たち)
Well, we do have a scan of the FIRST BWM chapter, and I don't think it agrees with that title, so I suspect that may be the site author coming up with a name. That certainly seems to be the title page for #2 on its article, and there's no evident actual title - I think our assumption that "Raise the Curtain" was the name for #1 was wrong too, and that they don't actually have names as originally printed. - Chris McFeely (talk) 14:30, 2 March 2014 (EST)
So that page should be moved to "Beast Wars Metals issue 1", then?
Well, only if my supposition is correct. - Chris McFeely (talk) 17:10, 3 March 2014 (EST)
