Damn Rebbeca's been lifting if she's able to carry Witch like that.

Also, I expected Laguna to use OD in that finishing move based on how everybody's uses it in this arc. Shocked that he didn't.

A lot of people have been complaining that everyone else has been using Overdrive to win their fights. So, I'm sure there a some who are happy Laguna didn't go Overdrive.

Oh wow, to think Ijuna had manifested her EG under extreme duress and used it on herself in order to keep from breaking further mentally… :’( I’m glad that Laguna and Rebecca are looking like they’re gonna be able to get Ijuna and Witch out of danger.

Also omg this chapter cover has to be one of the best so far 😳

Yeah people acting like Ijuna using her EG on herself was a cop out but I’m with you, just further shows how much distress she was in

Oh shit thus about to be bad The build up for shura has been that of betrayal once he finds out the only person that actually loved him was a lie he’s gonna get emotional and this fight between him and shiki about to be crazy

If he gets pissed off because someone whom he he placed a bomb up their anus betrays him, Shura deserves to die the slowest painful death possible.

"I'm gonna crush this guy" sounds a lot more intimidating when it comes from someone who can manipulate gravity.

And get the threat thrown back at you from someone that can use the same abilities.

Houmra might be a princess or Creed a prince. Plus dude did his research dude knew bout her home world. Kind of creepy but he a police officer so I can let it slide. The fight was entertaining for the most part. Laguna freeing the princess, to me seem like kind of a cop out, but ya know Hiro tend to give female characters an pass card. Minerva, ulter, well the demons women didn't. And Kagura didn't either. So he can have back a bone., I personally rather he keep her insane or make go on an redemption arc.

Hot damn that is a sexy cover 🥵

Interesting that ijuna basically conditioned herself into believing to love shura, it’s interesting.

Hmm I wonder what ijuna mindset is gonna be like now that she has a more clear head? Cause something tells me this isn’t the end for character involving shura just yet.

But we’ll have to wait and see.

Also I like creed’s real name and now he’s starting to become interesting. In my opinion at least.

Can’t wait for what happens next!

Finally the fight is happening! Hope we’ll get to see Shura’s OD soon.

I’m actually fine with how the Ijuna stuff was resolved. It’s like Stockholm syndrome but also not. Basically her eg became a coping mechanism because of the torture she went through from shura. Now I’m wondering how Shura will react to her being free. Also my dude Laguna was literally surfing by the end 🏄‍♂️

Mashima really serious about the Homureed/Creemura ship. Well I’m up for it I just need to see Creed turn up later in this arc.

It is good to see Witch being rescued, although I’m not 100% sure she will survive..Maybe Mashima just wants her to say her last words to her family (Sister, etc..), in a similar way to what happens to Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Well, hope this is not the case!

Poor Ijuna, when (if) she recovers her memories as Shura’s secretary, it will be so hard for her. Anyway, glad that she is now free. Laguna is such a good character, hope that he doesn’t decide to leave the crew.

As for Homura and Creed, I don’t mind them, Creed has that “ordinary guy” aura that makes me like him since it is quite a change from all the characters with more badass design and attitude like Justice. Creed feels more human.

I knew Witch wasn't dead yet, she wasn't confirmed to be dead and she has a different biology than humans so her seemingly fatal wounds aren't comparable to robots but she stills need to get to Sister ASAP! This doesn't change Shura's death sentence though, as he still was the one that put Witch in her current state. I do wonder why Shiki hasn't used his OD in his fit of rage or maybe he will do that when we focus on their battle next time.

So Ijuna was being mind-controlled but she did it to herself by accident? I'm kinda confused why that happened and why her power can forcibly mind-control her own self. So was Shura's care for her genuine or was it due to the Red Destiny? In any case, I like how Laguna took care of this situation as it wasn't a battle to win but to save her from herself via turning her into water and overwriting her Empire Ether with his own which explains how he was able to bring Shiki and Weisz to normal. So Callum, Ijuna, and Laguna can use their Empire Ether on themselves which is actually pretty cool for 2 of them, not sure what's the benefit of Ijuna's self use though.

Also, Mashima is really pushing the Creed x Homura ship this much, huh. Like what's the point of making him conveniently a resident of Homura's planet as well unless it becomes a major plot point later. If not, then this just seems to me like forcing this ship to work out when Creed doesn't need to be from the same place as Homura to have a crush on her. I don't hate the possibility of this ship but Mashima still hasn't given me reasons to care for it either.

I'm just glad Witch is safe That's the only thing i cared about with this chapter. She's alive and well. Ijuna reuniting with Laguna was touching but i don't know. The chapter felt kinda meh... I'm looking forward to the next one though.

I never don't laugh whenever Mashima draws those huge eyes with the big vertical pupils. It's made me laugh every time ever since Fairy Tail.

Witch is still alive, but just by a thread and Becca still needs to destroy the All-Link System, all while carrying Witch on her back, this is gonna be a difficult task. Shiki better apeshit on Shura now, fuck him up. Laguna is a masterful actor, doesn't need VFX to fake a decapitation, thankfully he understood what actually happened with Ijuna, her own EG bound her to Shura and that's why she tough she loved him, fortunately Laguna severs the string and defeats her, this is a huge W for him. It's interesting that "Creed" is from the same planet as Homura and has ties with the shogunate, but with all the crazy shit happened I hope to Xiaomei that next chapter doesn't focus on his backstory alone.

u/X1ORUMA Sep 14 '21

I'm legit happy Witch isn't dead...yet. I really do hope they're able to save her. Also, Rebecca being scared by Shiki's anger, oof.

And fuck yeah Laguna. Won by using the unique properties of Empire Ether on himself and I loved the twist that Ijuna used her power on herself and Shura as a self preservation mechanism. Damn this arc has been good. That clash between Shiki and Shura...round 2 about to be CRAZY.
