Tsutomu Nihei is a cult manga creator responsible for bleak, disturbing and gory cyberpunk horror stories and likely best known for Blame! and Knights of Sidonia. However, today we'll be looking at volumes 2 and 3 of his lesser known and yet still gorgeous Biomega. We have zombies, cyborgs, zombie cyborgs, espers, giant monsters and some of the best art in manga of the era.
It's no wonder that while Nihei's stories can be extremely hard to follow, he still has a sizeable audience and has even written for Marvel, namely Wolverine and Halo.
Today, we'll do our best to unravel Biomega, in part 2 of a likely 6 part series on the...well, series.

Thanks for the amazing videos!! They’ve gotten me through some tough times. Hopefully this buys/helps buy baby owl some new pants haha. Sending love from Canada to you, Mrs Owl, and baby owl ☺️
If you read this, have a super lovely day and keep being yourself
I think the drones' evolution is completed in Knight's of Sidonia where they eventually regain some sentience.
You know I was thinking, geez it sure would be great if FrightRanker posted a video today.
His new manga tower dungeon is freaking great. It has much more dialogue than this and most of his other works but that special artstyle and architecture is still front and center. The monsters are bad assss too! It feels like a dark souls manga we never knew we needed. He manages to capture that feeling you get in those games so we'll.
I just started watching part 1 and suddenly this came out.
Rip the ones who had to wait the 2 months
your coverage of this has been so great! thanks for tackling this. and yes I am now remembering that up until chapter 4 is actually the most coherent the plot gets and the whole reason im here is i still dont understand what happens .... after...
"It wears sunglasses and a duster at night."
So, it's Wesker?
Man I love Biomanga. Blame! will always have a soft spot in my heart, but, man, Biomega is just insanely amazing. The story sure is insane, and might take multiple rereads, but goddamn is the action and the art glorious. I also like how you stop right where you stop, because goddamn, things have been crazy so far, but I don't think anyone who hasn't read this is prepared for what is to come. Fantastic video by the way, love your content!
Thank you for breaking this down, when at 200am in the morning I am pulling my hair out.
Really been enjoying the content, thanks for another cool video!
Im 36 and aint bought a manga since highschool but I'm bout to get this one. Thank you fright ranker
I can't wait to listen to this while operating heavy machinery. (What could go wrong?)
Just wanted to add a lil bit more :)
Thanks so much mate!
@@frightranker of course, my pleasure! :) thanks for the videos!!
Funny, this video would come out only a couple of days after I finally score a complete set for just over $150, and it ain't that Malaysian bootleg garbage.
Good stuff man you got to it!!
Actual recap starts at 6:45 for those not wanting to sit through the intro
Are you sure this is the correct video mate? There wasn't really a recap for this one...
can’t believe i made it this early
Much love from Germany !
Bear costume is mad serial experiments lane vibes
36:20 I ask myself the same question ;)
Please do a video about juujika no rokunin ❤
My theory for the bear suit is a possible callback to Serial Experiments Lain (one of my all time fav anime and manga), the majority of people seem to know the "f*** your sh*t, I'm in a bearsuite" meme regarding the manga and anime. Just my theory, would be fun.
She's def from the wicker man island. The nick cage version as that's the only version that matters😂😅
Hey the owl i want to learn Japanse what do you recommend?
Find a local class or a study group. Duolingo is good for kanji and vocab, but useless for grammar. Genki is a good series of textbooks, but very dry.
awesome!!!
Toa heavy industries was in BLAME even in the anime, right?
We'll probably get into BLAME in Q3 2025.
I am a biohazard ☣ 💃
Yo i wanted to ask whats your favorite manga?
Probably Higurashi.
@@frightranker bet ama go read it 👊
