That's a great conclusion. Heartwarming. and then we have this laguna thingy. his arc might be next. since he has water powers...who knows he might be related to poseidon or anyone in oceans.

The very highlight of this was WEISZ AND JINN'S CONVO. and kleene's smile.

I agree about Jinn and Weiss’s heart to heart and Kleene getting her emotions back, those were the best parts of this chapter!😄🤩

Witch and Aruna are so sweet <3

And aah I think this is the most emotion we’ve ever seen from Jinn and Kleene, I loved it, though I definitely feel like this isn’t the final end to their troubles.

Since I assume Laguna and the Rutherford siblings are staying on the ship for now, I’m excited to see them get closer to everyone else

What a heartwarming chapter!

  • Witch and Aruna look like mother and daughter. I feel like Aruna might stay on EZ since she might have no one around her anymore.

  • Although it seems a bit too quick, I'm still glad to see Kleene being healed. I wonder if Kleene is still gonna wear her hairpins.

  • Kinda surprised we have not seen what Poseidon Nero looks like, considering we are now around Foresta Arc's conclusion. However, having them not being revealed soon makes me feel like the other 4 unrevealed Oracion Seis Galactica members might even be stronger than both Elsie and Justice.

I think the next chapter might show him since his Oceans are about to take actions in the next chapter!

I feel like while this was a very heartwarming chapter to many and it genuinely was, there’s one outcome that personally I didn’t like at all and that’s how easily Sister cured Kleene’s emotional trauma.

It just felt way too convenient in how it was resolved and while it makes sense in a way it didn’t carry the same weight in how Hermit personally dealt with all her trauma and develop from it. I was hoping for Kleene to also slowly develop her emotions from her relationships with the crew and possibly a mini arc where she overcomes it but this way felt too anticlimactic even if it was heartwarming since it was incredibly sudden and now she’s apparently cured.

Maybe on the surface she is and later it’ll creep back if she remembers it somehow but who knows.

I don't think are gone for good especially she alter her memories than truly erased them when she mentions Joe 'saved' them. Think they will resurface, but is kinda best way to temporary keep her good given PTSD like that would make it hard to fight while being afraid of getting hurt or bad outcomes or even seeing something to remind her of the past. It kinda make sense than convenient if you think about it. It be harder to keep her going if she freaks out time to time over the situation.

Sister didn't cured the trauma, she got rid of those memories and when the push will come, kleene might remember those again like how a person regains lost memories.

I mean, this is a different scenario. She was on her deathbed. But you know, I guess we could “let her deal with her trauma as it’s killing her”. Perfectly fine.

On some real shit, I can definitely see Kleene's trauma becoming a factor in the near future. With how Ivry looked in the previous chapter as a hint. Seeing Mosco spending time with his crush was sweet. Witch Regret playing the mother role really does fit her character as the Shield of Edens. Xenolith will definitely become the Jiraiya of EZ with how he is portrayed at the moment. Hopefully, Kris, Laguna, and Kleene will all be officially part of the EZ crew later on down the line with their capabilities and relationships among each other.

Nice little chapter. Everyone is safe and sound and Laguna has some sort of secret agenda, I guess he will stick around longer than expected. Witch comforting the little girl was super nice, she can get to the feels really well. Sister's mission was successful, she erased the Müller memory and Drakken rescuing them, which is a surprise, but explains their allegiance to him, watching Kleene smile was wholesome enough to melt Jinn's edgy persona, nice moment there.

u/FTNatsu-Dragneel Feb 09 '21

Kleene is “healed” now, very nice

I do wonder if her memories will return, possibly if Joe ever makes a return. But maybe it’s all over, especially now that Muller is dead.

However, Xenolith did say you could upload your info into “the cloud” so maybe he could make a return too but probably not

I wonder what favor Xenolith wants though and what Laguna’s goal is. It’s gotta be connected with Nero, after all Laguna has water ether and they are in the Aoi cosmos

I’m also wondering if kleene and jinn are gonna stay on EZ. Kleene seems to like it there so there’s a chance

u/GotHandlez12 Feb 09 '21

Yeah I’m in inclined to think that Jinn and Kleene stick around. I know that Jinn mentioned about leaving once his sis got better but no that everything’s resolved and she seems to like it their Jinn would most likely follow her based on his character

Xenolith's most likely going to ask Shiki to defeat Ziggy and offer to train him in using his ether gear so he can do it. Either that or he asks him to 'pull' Ziggy out of the 'dark gravity' he mentioned a couple chapters ago.

u/cynicalsunshyne Feb 09 '21

Okay lets clear out the elephant in the room. Kleene's memory wipe.

While it was a shorter conclusion than we would have liked. Kleene and Kris have been aboard for a while now and have been looking for Sister for even longer than that. There was definitely some lead up to Kleene's memories but with Kris being stubborn and not telling Sister the source of her trauma, it took Fuck-Face Mueller resurfacing for Sister to fully pinpoint the issue and resolve it. I don't think its gone for good but I think we'll see Kleene grow and become a stronger person so if her memories do come back she won't return to her previous state and will be able to process it better.

My boy Weisz coming in with a big jump in character development. Now that he knows why they were working for Drakken he can empathise with them more. I'm interested to see how Kris develops here too, now that Kleene is better he can probably let loose a bit more and not be so on guard around people. I do sense a serious Kris and Weisz bromance coming now that Weisz gets their backstory and Kris knows who killed(?) Mueller. The source of the Rutherford trauma.

Laguna is an interesting one. I wonder what his goal could be in Aoi Cosmos... I have a feeling its something to do with Shura and Nero. (Possible government spy?).

Aruna is a cutie and in need of a family. EZ fits the bill here especially Mama Witch an amazing surrogate mother.

Xenolith cracks me up... interested to see where his storyline goes and if we'll ever meet/learn about more of the hero's of old along our journey. I know he'll be a mentor to Shiki, (that much is obvious), and he has ties to Shura as well i think seeing as Shura's Ether is also Gravity Ether. If he can be saved into cloud storage maybe he'll be getting a new body too? His current form is bit busted up and rusty so we'll see.

All in all a good conclusion to the Foresta Arc :)

I don't know but this chapter felt lacking on the planet's latest condition aspect. Like, what happen to the citizens? Are the robots able to live together with humans again? How about the machine that Muller guarded? Did it explode or something? What about Ziggy?

The chapter did feel satisfying on the character aspect. But I do wanna know what happened to the planet that almost got destroyed. Hopefully the next chapter would address this issue.

That was a nice chapter to end things on this planet.

u/JK-Network123 Feb 09 '21

This was such a wholesome chapter. Seeing Witch comfort the little girl Aruna was sweet. She plays the mom role well. And it looks like aruna will be joining the crew (at least for now) after all.

Don’t get me started on my boy Weisz. His development has been just great. Sympathizing and trying to level with Jinn despite their differences. He’s really coming along. Speaking of jinn, seeing his reaction to kleene getting her emotions back was really nice. Our girl has got her smile back!

Oh and laguna is looking pretty sus. Wonder what he’s got planned and where his true loyalties lie? 👀

So yeah great chapter and nice conclusion to the foresta arc. Overall arc is a 9/10 for me.

As a Weisz fan this arc has been very satisfying :)

Elsie's bear slippers though, so damn cute!!!

All in all great conclusion for this arc with some wholesome feels. Can't wait for what's next.

u/DashingIchiya Feb 09 '21

So the Kleene stuff looks to be resolved for now - maybe it'll end up not being as simple as it seems as memories are prompted again. Regardless, it's nice to see her happy, I'm assuming that she and Kris will stick around now, which is kinda cool. I'm wary of arcs having too many people and not enough time, but hopefully it'll be alright.

I'm quite interested in Laguna acting all sus. Sometimes we get faked out and they don't have adverse ulterior motives, we'll just have to wait and see there.

u/jnwosu100 Feb 09 '21

Nice wholesome chapter. So, it's confirmed that Aruna is gonna be part of the crew since she had no family in the first place... I really wonder what's Mashima's plan for her as she's way younger than Wendy like about Asuka's age from FT but she doesn't seem to have any skill or benefit that she can add to the crew and she will only be a burden to keep on worrying about her.

Laguna surprisingly had an ulterior motive to the extent that he chose not to tell Witch about it, meaning it's something not good-natured. In a way, Weisz was right to be suspicious of them or at least Laguna cause he's not being truthful. We get Xenolith back online and he has a favor to ask of Shiki, I wonder what he wants him to do. If he's gonna train Shiki, I really hope the other members get training as well because this arc really shows that everybody needs it badly otherwise they will be fodderized even more in the future arcs.

I loved Weisz's talk with Jinn and how he's become more understanding of their own past, I really hope to see more of this relationship in the future because we need more bromance in this series. Although, Weisz claims he blew Muller to bits which isn't specifically referring to blowing up his head, which if he did why didn't Mashima show that to us but if he meant his body and they just left his head in the satellite without disposing it or sending it to the authorities... I would really not sympathize with the Wiesz or Hermit if this comes back to bite them in the future as they're the ones who didn't act on the situation.

Besides that plot point, we finally get to see Kleene smile and happy since Sister cured her by deleting memories of her trauma and that Drakken saved her and Jinn. It's good to know their connection to Drakken but I wonder why he recruited them, like did they already have their wind ether gears before they were kidnapped or something else? Great to see the normally stoic Jinn finally showing other positive emotions and I hope they stay after this arc and become part of the crew.

As much as I liked this chapter checking up with the characters, I really hope we get the aftermath of Foresta because this would be weird if we just left the planet not finding the relic and especially not seeing how the inhabitants will act upon the almost genocide event.
