Make Them Laugh!

Failure.

That was right. That was how Joy Boy appeared in Tsugikuni Yoriichi's eyes—not some supreme Sun God, nor some legendary savior.

To Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Joy Boy was nothing more than a failure from history.

Before Tsugikuni Yoriichi appeared, the ones who had ruled this world for eight hundred years were not the Joy Boy standing before him, but Imu and the World Government under her control.

Even the Celestial Dragons had already been wiped out by Tsugikuni Yoriichi's hand. How much respect could he possibly have for someone like Joy Boy, who had lost to the World Government?!

Moreover, judging from the character Joy Boy had displayed so far, this man did not deserve Tsugikuni Yoriichi's respect in the first place.

That was merely later generations forcibly imposing the beautiful hopes in their minds upon Joy Boy. After a thousand years of evolution, it had become the legend passed down today.

What Joy Boy himself had truly been like, no one in this world knew anymore.

In fact, upon seeing the Joy Boy before him, Tsugikuni Yoriichi could not help but feel a trace of respect for the Celestial Dragons.

No matter what the descendants of the Twenty Kings had done, the fact that they had joined forces to attack the Joy Boy
