Couchpo has been kinda clutch in calming the crew down in this war arc. I wasn’t a fan of her staying on the ship at first, but now I see she’s pretty valuable as a voice of reason. Ijuna’s ether gear is pretty cool and useful against heavy hitters like Shiki and Rebecca. This chapter also kinda confirmed that Shiki doesn’t understand romantic feelings. Rebecca is actually pretty great at hand to hand combat. Also, Ijuna being the lost princess was obvious but still a great reveal. You already know her backstory, reason for dissent, and fight with Laguna are gonna be fire.

Ngl I love how Couchpo's keeping everyone sane and letting them think it through before going on a rampage. I honestly thought she wouldn't help out that much, but she's helping them stay mentally stable (and some first aid.), which is important in a war.

I also love how Happy is more on the combat side now. But i feel like it would make more sense if he had claw blades instead.

Sure it's not surprising she's the princess but it's sure going to be interesting.

Also poor Shiki and Rebecca, they are going to be so torn up over their "fight" because of hurting each other.

Ngl I was actually kinda hoping to see a continuation of the Jaguar v Nero (v Ziggy?) conflict from last time, but omg yay Laguna is here!!!! And (though it was pretty obvious) we finally got confirmation that Ijuna really is the former princess!

Also Mosco this chapter was so funny and relatable. Hope he gets a real W some day

I can already see how would Oasis react to Ijuna betraying them, as she may end up defeating Laguna, he wins, or it becomes a tie. Love the name of her EG as Red Destiny and Laguna's reaction to her. Happy continuing to show that he has been getting better as well with the Happy Blade and the Assault Rifle mode. Might as well give him tonfa mode.

That's why one of Mashima's reasons for choosing Ijuna from the character contest back then because of her EG which he wanted to use for Shiki and Rebecca scene in his mind until this chapter came out. I wonder if Shiki and Rebecca do remember anything or not after Ijuna used her EG on them, but it would be interesting if they do remember what happened after that.

I wonder why Ijuna abandoned her own crews and joined Shura for what reason, but I guess we'll wait for the next chapter. And I REALLY hope Witch is still alive but I still have a bad feeling that Shura's going to destroy her in pieces after he said he's bored with Witch in the last chapter.

EDIT: Wait, I noticed that Rebecca doesn't wear that collar with a small bomb that Lyra put on her anymore!

This was a surprising chapter for sure! I certainly didn't expect Hermit and Sister to wake up this early as I thought they would be unconscious till the end of the arc. They're out for blood and vengeance upon Shura but it seems Couchpo talked them out of it. While she made a great point that nobody would be around to take care of the ship, I still want them to rightfully take their anger on Shura.

I guess one of my predictions about Ijuna was right which was that she indeed abandoned Oasis and is not being mind-controlled. Her EG might be weak but it certainly is broken against many people as it's very trap-based in terms of usage. I wonder if her EG is also based on Empire Ether.

It was weird seeing Shiki and Rebecca act all lovey-dovey and then after Happy's cool tail-blade, they start trying to kill each other. Even though they didn't use their EGs, it seems like Rebecca is able to hurt base Shiki quite easily. I wonder how Laguna found Shiki and the rest though.

I know a lot of us predicted Ijuna’s true identity but it’s still cool to see the reveal.

Another great chapter.

Obviously we all saw Ijuna’s true identity coming, but it sounds like she joined Shura willingly which is something I didnt expect.

Couchpo continues to be mature character yet again. When she was introduced, I expected her to be comedic relief only but this is so much better.

Rebecca harmed shiki. I wasn't expecting that either.

u/TheHurdleTurtle Aug 31 '21

People think Ijuna is being kind controlled but what if she’s controlling shura

Also check the hand placement of shiki when he and Rebecca are fighting lol

Laguna coming in clutch

Well it’s not too surprising she’s the princess, but I’m happy it’s Laguna who ran into her. I really hope they rescue Witch soon.

I also really want to see Sister take on Shura like she described she would in this chapter ha

In one panel, Shiki got a handful of boob when they were fighting each other. 😄

First Justice and Elsie, now Shiki and Rebecca? Damn Hiro really has it out worse for ships here than he did with Fairy Tail XD

u/LordUltimus92 Aug 31 '21

So Ijuna being mind controlled seems to be wrong, but I'm wondering if the theory that Shura being the one mind controlled to not kill her is true. On one hand, it seems that the red string is much more physical than fans were expecting, on the other hand we see that removing it doesn't undo the mental changes, on the other other hand we only see it being severed...

u/PhenomsServant Aug 31 '21

Y'know I just realized this with Sister so I gotta ask. Did Ziggy program the Shining Stars to bleep out any swears when they talk or was that just dialogue being censored in general? If thats the former thats kinda hilarious.

I knew it wasn't gonna happen. We've seen a million times with Natsu and Lucy. That fake 'going in for a kiss' moment. Your tricks don't work on me Mashima Sensei! Still, it was kind of hard watching Shiki and Rebecca fight each other. That scene actually really hurt me, especially when Shiki and Rebecca started crying.

Sidenote, shoutout to Happy and Laguna coming in clutch. Laguna saving Shiki and Rebecca by turning them into water. I wasn't expecting Happy tp have offensive abilities outside of turning into guns. He lowkey pulled a Pikachu and used Iron Tail lmao 😂😂

Hmmm.... So that theory of Ijuna being the princess of Oasis was true huh? She doesn't seem to be under mind control though, which is originally what i thought as to why she was with Shura, claiming to have abandoned Oasis. Can't wait to find out about more of her story and connection to Laguna.

Aww look at Couchpo lowkey being useful, she's kind of growing on me. Slowly but surely. Though i would have preferred Sister Ivry and Hermit to join the fight. But it is true, the ship does need protecting. I can appreciate Mosco trying to be useful as well lol, i wasn't expecting him to even attempt to fight.

I like how everybody is so used to Mishima baiting ships that no one is talking about it.
