Extended Manga

The extended manga is the fan-given name for the official continuation of the original Super Saturn Gamer manga. It was continued by the original manga author starting in 2010 but was only released in 2016. The manga author was originally going to commit suicide over his work on Super Saturn Gamer, but after remembering the arcs and characters he still wanted to flesh out, the manga was continued. Though it is rumored that the manga author contemplates suicide weekly, he has stated that he will not die until he has gotten all of his ideas out to the world.

Plot
Starting several years after the end of the original series, the extended manga takes place on Saturn (the planet) with Saturn (the gamer) and his friends/allies discussing the threat of High Empress Celestia on the universe. However, they are found out and attacked by 『THE SUN』. Luckily, Saturn is able to use his stand to imitate 『THE SUN』 and cancel out some of its attacks. However, 『THE SUN』 wipes out most of Saturn's base of operations from existence, and Saturn loses his left arm in the process. This even is referred to by fans as ARMageddon. The pain and shock of it causes Saturn to faint, and he wakes up several weeks later. Reinvigorated by his own rage and the trauma of his coma dreams, Saturn's entire demeanor has changed, making him more aggressive and less social, but more of a clever thinker. This then sparks the rest of the manga, where Saturn and his friends gather more allies (and make new enemies) in the fight against Celestia's tyranny. Along the way, Saturn learns more about the lore of the universe, and begins to come to terms with his own personal flaws.

Reception
The extended manga has been met with generally mixed feelings by fans. While many appreciate the new content and new fans enjoy the story more than the original, many veteran fans feel that the extended manga was not true to the tone and story of the original. However, the general consensus is that the fleshed out characters and lore make the extended manga important to the series as a whole.
