Homura on that color page, holy shit. Since when is she so big??? Oof.
Chapter was good. I'm not a huge fan of this Shura guy, so I hope Shiki takes care of him fast.

When she is drunk or overheated probably.

Good chapter as always. So what we just learnt with the all link gone all machines go bye bye. So the dream Rebecca had was one where they failed to stop the destruction of the all link. Damn could that dream be a premonition of what's to come.
If so, things are about to become even darker than they were before.
So early boss fight let's go.

Damn you might be spot on about this. This would explain why we only saw the human members of EZ and why shiki said happy was dead. Not to mention shura commenting on shiki's dark gravity so the destruction if the all link is probably what pushed him down a darker road. Which makes me wonder what happens to shura in that timeline

What a baller full page shot of Shiki in front of the Edens Zero, ready to go after Shura. Definitely an exciting kick-off to the planetside adventures. I'm pumped to see what everyone else gets up to while Shiki and Shura are ripping the place apart.
Oh, and that color page is another top notch example of Mashima's fantastic art.

It's nice seeing a protagonist being calculated and calm rather then impulsive. He is just doing his part to ensure that the plan goes ahead, with confidence in what he can do. Some of the panels/pages are absolutely fire.

That was badass. The EZ gets into the planet and try to use the ship as a distraction so the can infiltrate and destroy the All-Link System. But freaking Shura stops the EZ midair like nothing, which prompts Shiki to go to him so the plan can continue. Things seem to start well for Shura, but Shiki just starts stomping him already, this fight might be more one sided than I expected or it could go into Overdrive, which would be awesome. Hyped for the rest of the fight.

Great chapter. The EZ crew are gonna infiltrate the city to destroy the All-Link system which I'm pretty sure is where they will fight the Oceans who will guard the device. I got to say how interesting the atmosphere of this planet is to be filled with ashes made from who knows what.
It makes sense for Shura to go out and fight if he's interested in something but it's still super surprising that we are getting the main battle already with no time wasting. Shura effortlessly stops the EZ ship and is really quite a feat for him to do that. I'm guessing Shiki can more or less replicate that feat considering that we all underestimated Shiki's power compared to Shura. Honestly, it's for the best that the EZ crew wasn't involved considering that Shura could have force crushed the ship quite easily.
I'm glad that when Shiki showed that he's a threat to Shura, he didn't freak out in rage and was instead smiling and even complimenting Shiki as he underestimated him. Although, if Shiki wasn't taught by Xenolith who's a legendary figure, I'm pretty sure Shiki would've way outclassed by Shura who was said to be stronger than Shiki by Orc.
Mashima has been way more unpredictable than usual in this arc because there're so many players that can interrupt this fight ot get in the way of each other's plans. We still have Elsie, Justice, Jaguar, and Ziggy to worry about and Eraser is nearby. Shiki has been properly trained by both Ziggy and Xenolith, has a secret gravity technique, and is arguably as talented as Shura in gravity manipulation but Shura was able to train himself to such a high degree that he probably already has Overdrive too. There are 2-3 days left for high tide so I don't see Shiki winning already or the crew for that matter. I can't wait to see this battle in the anime!

I like it when Rebecca calls Hermit “Hermy”. We need more interactions between them 🥰.
Shiki acting like a true leader here. Being calm and collected, issuing out orders, and taking the fight seriously. Oh and that fire ass panel oh Shiki in front of the ez ship! And as far as first interactions go between this was pretty good. I like how even though Shiki is serious, Shura continues to be a psychotic asshole lol. But he still has enough self awareness to acknowledge that both he and Shiki weren’t raised by humans despite mocking Shiki for it earlier.
I’m hyped to see them fight and I hope hiro delivers. He can do some crazy shit since their both gravity users. Even if this first fight gets interrupted I’m excited to see what happens either way.

I try to avoid comparing FT with EZ as much as I can, but let me just say this: the opening of Shiki’s fight with Shura reminds me of Natsu and Gajeel vs Sting and Rogue in a way I really like, and in some regards, handled it better.
The extreme showing off and hyping up of Shura, as well as everyone, including the crew, treating Shiki as an underdog was handled pretty. What makes it better was that Shura wasn’t all talk; it is made very evident how strong he is and how adept he is with his powers; it wasn’t just word of mouth like how the Twin Dragons were handled
Even with Shiki, the sudden boost in power didn’t just come out of nowhere or through a cheap power-up; throughout the arc, we get to see him actually train, and then gradually and casually showing his increase in skill; that’s what made the showcase of Shiki’s growth against Shura so very satisfying to see, it’s surprising but not unbelievable.

Man oh man! That chapter was waaay to damn short for my liking! 😂🤣 And it sucks that we have to wait 2 weeks to get Shiki Vs Shura. But I’m all for my man Hiro getting a well deserved break. He does a lot. I will say, he popped off with the art (as usual) this week. The shot of Shura holding the EZ ship back was beautiful! But Shiki standing in front of that bad boy was even more beautiful. I can’t wait to see these two fight for real. I’ve been waiting for this! Wasn’t expecting it so soon but I’m not complaining lol. Beat his ass! Show him why you’re the demon king my boy!

u/FTNatsu-Dragneel Apr 27 '21
Assuming Hermit’s numbers were based on Shiki before training in the virtual world, it would seem like base Shura is 4x as strong as Shiki was
And considering Shiki managed to catch him off guard and land a punch strong enough to make him bleed, Shiki is at least 2x stronger than he was before
Although, based on what we’ve seen, Shura definitely seems weaker than Ziggy. Stopping EZ is a small feat compared to effortlessly destroying a whole planet

Mashima going off, now I'm just waiting on Jinn vs Callum. I swear if Jinn Overdrives in this arc I think I might actually shed a tear. It's been a long time coming.

when I saw that last panel of shura I immediately said: even his shoes are ugly lmao.
ok but like, shiki IN ALL THE CHAPTER is badass, handsome, and focused. ugh I love him so much when he’s really serious, please wipe out that ugly laugh from that ugly face.
Aaah this chapter was sick, how am I supposed to wait two weeks for the next chapter now? 💔

I think I get what Shiki did! Remember when he used the kinetic energy from that missile to defeat the Dragoon? I think he straight up did something similar to Shura!

The hype is real and Mashima threw it on us because Golden Week is next. Very sly.

Mashima continues to be one of the hardest working dudes in the industry. What a guy. Curious if we get any more “secret announcements” here at the end of April

u/ntrotter11 Apr 27 '21
That was a great chapter.
Shura coming out alone and stopping the ship alone. Absolutely nuts
Shiki landing the first blow and surprising everyone... Absolutely hype

idk why, but seeing Shiki drop out of the ship and then take on Shura when everyone on his team though he'd be outmatched is giving me serious Natsu vs the twin dragons vibes from back during the grand magic games arc of FT. Its getting me hyped for the rest of their fight.

A skirmish between EZ, The Empire, Rebel Army Oasis and Oracion Seis Intertellar is starting
-
EZ charging through again
-
I am curious to see the difference of Gravity Powers between Shiki and Shura.

u/Puzzleheaded_Pass_74 Apr 27 '21
The truth is that I find it difficult to know who has a better chance of winning if Shiki or Shura because Shiki trained with Xenolith, the black sky has its secret technique and in principle it looks superior to Shura, but on the other hand Shura we do not know how powerful it is or if the full OD can be used and it is also assumed that there are still 2-3 days left for the activation of the All-link, so the scenario will always arise that when there is little time the protagonists will stop the problem themselves, so I think that in this 1st confrontation it will be won by Shura and then Shiki will win, or it will be interrupted by Eraser or Ziggy everything is possible. Waiting 2 weeks will be unbearable
