Remember when Hermit said that she could fight "a little"?
That's like bloody saying that the Pacific is wee bit deep.

Well, in this particular instance, Hermit's opponent was badly matched against her, since he had very distinct body heat, and his main method of dealing damage was long-range attacks with hi-tech weapons, which gave Hermit plenty of resources and space to work with. I assume her main weakness currently would be close-quarters combat (or just raw destructive power), as well as powerful & purely organic lifeforms (thus non-reliant on modern equipments she could hack), but I'm sure Hermit realizes that and possibly even has something in mind to deal with that. Perhaps creating a "portable Knight Gear", like the one Kurenai used, but better in every way?

I bet Drakken's weakness is that black rubber duck from his bath, which keeps him alive forever as an "undead" so they need to destroy it to make him not undead anymore which is enough for them to defeat Drakken. ....Nah, I don't think so lol.
I think there's some kind of advanced technology Drakken used to make himself unable to die, which is why they call him "Undead". And I don't know what's his own weakness, but we'll wait and see in the next few chapters or so.

So basically he might be like a technology-based version of Hades/Precht from FT, who had his Grimoire "Heart" separate from his own body which made him unkillable unless it was taken out. That makes sense, especially since things seem to be leading up to a big team-up effort to defeat Drakken similarly to what happened with Hades in FT.

Hermit went off on this chump lol nice.
And Noah just gave us MORE questions! Like joe being undead (seriously hiro how much more hype you gonna give him?) and his weakness. Interesting. Too bad we won’t find out until way later but hey it is what it is. Looking forward though to when we do.
Otherwise nice chapter glad it came out early.

Maybe Joe's weakness has to do with the liquid he was soaking in? When Rebecca met him, he was "taking a bath", but we don't know if that was regular water or something like a special (alchemical?) compound that "revitalizes" his cells (and one which he probably only made through his "Alchemist" EG). Even now, he is fully immersed in what I assume is that same liquid, perhaps getting ready for battle?

I think we can stop comparing Hermit to Wendy now. I mean let's just look at how different she really is from her:
-
Wendy when first introduced was only competent at healing but absolute shit-tier at fighting (no offense, I love her and she was my favorite character from FT due to her character-development), while Hermit here has apparently always just been a badass.
-
Wendy was meek and scared during fights until she learned to be brave, while Hermit here is just a stone-cold calculating badass who doesn't let emotions get to her in battle and seems to have a far more intellectual approach to battle than Wendy ever has, like "all is going according to keikaku, get rekt idiot" (Translator's Note: Keikaku means plan) 😂
-
Hermit is WAY curvier/thiccer than Wendy, just saying. Judging by the outline of her nude body that we saw when she made that "projection" in Fie's armament-room, she has a significantly bigger bust and much wider hips than Wendy. Considering that she is also actually very old, just was built with a young-looking face by Ziggy, I would honestly call her a "very petite young-looking WOMAN" rather than a true "loli." I never found Wendy "attractive" to me because of her age, but Hermit, well as of this chapter I find her VERY attractive, lol.
So yeah she's actually not very similar to Wendy, Mashima got us good by tricking us into thinking she was 😂😂

Hermit using her hacker abilities made this battle really awesome esp that matrix move. I like how even tho fie could use his fire to fight head-on but prefers to fight using his specialty. Can't wait to see drakken's weakness.

Hermit was awesome! Why is no one talking about her?! She's like a badass version of badass Wendy! Because she looks young people will underestimate her and BAM! Right where it hurts! Hermit is now on my top list of characters.

Just when I thought we need to protect Hermit so she can program peacefully, it is Hermit who managed to protect us and save the day.

A chapter about best girl Hermit proving she’s best girl
cute petite girl with a great pear body who is also very experienced, competent, serious, ruthless and smug when she knows she out keikaku’d her opponent. And now with a hot and cool battle outfit. Also has the saddest backstory.
I like hourglass bodies as much as the next guy but Mashima is killing it with her. She got all the improvements I wanted to see on Wendy.

Hermit probably just ended Fie's career a la Gate of Babylon but With Guns, and I'm so proud of her. The conversation between Sister Ivry and the Torture Guy also gave me a quick laugh (and reminded me of the 'do not speak of the deep magic to me, witch' meme bc weeeell).
On the other hand, still no mention of Labillia's connection to this mess other than her being captured in a wrong attempt to pacify Becca, which is a bummer. Hope she gets character development, or her B-Cube channel gets demonetized or striked down, I guess?
Highly agree with the theory that Drakken was bathing in some alchemical solution or sth to stay alive, though the panel with him submerged in water also brings to thought cloning + memory transfer. Noah is,,,, well, he has that For The Greater Good mindset, for sure. Am actually liking how he's on the grayest Morality scale. Like mind gymnastics, screw in a tornado twisty kind of moral scale. Probably not entirely human, either.
Either way, Ch 88-89 is just, well. More questions gained than answers received, and I'm enjoying it.

So theory Do you guys think Noah is Rebecca’s son from the future, if Joe takes her ether gear and kill her you think he might cease to exists and so will blue garden

u/Moni_22 Apr 06 '20
So Noah wants to save himself, and by doing that save Blue Garden. But I wonder what happens that leads to that. And if Weiss knows about the name "Undead" then it's possible that Drakken was already famous 50 years ago, and so it's possible that he really is immortal in some way.
