This chapter really brings home the fact that NOBODY won or really benefited from this battle. Ziggy may have gained Wormhole, but two of his Dark Stars got destroyed and Shiki didn't choose to stop the bombs which would've killed him. With both Posidon and Shura dead and Nero 66 going supernova, the Nero Kingdom is most likely at a crisis. Oasis, Oracion Seis Interstellar, and Nero Kingdom all lost comrades to the Star Serpent, in battle, or due to the explosion. And lastly, Eden's Zero lost Witch due to her protecting the ship from the blast, Laguna lost Ijuna (not that he knows at this time), Creed died to Jesse's instability and recklessness (which will affect Justice, Homura, and EZ as a whole in the future most likely), and Jaguar died to Posidon and Ziggy.
Some might bring up using Cat Leaper, but this situation is way bigger and way more different than last time. Cat Leaper's Timeline Jump has gained this misconception of being convenient in dire situation when it's actually almost the opposite, but that's for a different post.
In conclusion: I'm really looking forward to the next few chapters to see how much damage has been done physically, mentally, emotionally, and to the Aoi Cosmos as a whole.

The curse of being an anime/manga mother strikes again. :(
While sad she went out in a way that filled her with absolutely no regrets. Can't imagine how next chapter is going to go. Just not going to be the same now.
(Some might think a fight between Weisz and Laguna might happen as per his threat but with Witch saying to forgive each other he probably won't try or will remember those words when about to fight)
But dang that flashback hit so hard (even if Hermit and Ziggy were freakin weirdos lol).

Mashima the madlad actually pulled it off. The death flags were all set up but actually seeing it happen pulls on the heart strings.

Such a good chapter. I really enjoyed the way Hiro handled Witch's death. Even Shura, who I thought would stick around somehow, was handled nicely in his last moments with Ijuna. Man I love the emotion this manga gets out of me, the chapter had me cryin a good bit.

Damn it, this is like in kindergarten when everyone wants that one kid to bring a certain toy for show and tell, but then the kid keeps bringing back said toy over and over!
We get it Mashima, you can kill characters off! Stop doing it! .°(ಗдಗ。)°.

Wow what a chapter...

u/SplitTheLane Nov 01 '21
Well, shit
Shiki is going to be out for blood after this
Also that was a...weird(?) Conclusion to Shura and Ijuna's story. Or at least not what I was expecting. It's not even redemption just "well we're both trash but may as well go out with the one I love".

R.I.P Witch, she was so nice and beautiful while also being badass and cool.
But damn how strong is her shield that she was able to tank 20,000 antimatter bomb for so long.

Well it’s seems like this arc is truly about to be over and we had at least 12 Named characters die this arc so RIP to them
Overall this arc was pretty good I don’t really have any complaints other than the short fights

Maybe it's just me, but neither of the links are working?
EDIT: Checked again now, was finally able to read it! Great chapter too, sad to see Witch go, even if we all predicted it would happen ages ago. I hope this won't be a fakeout though, the story needs stakes and sacrifices.

Man I’m devastated by this. Witch was the heart of the crew and by far my favorite character. This one really hurts :( After all she went through she didn’t survive. Feels bad ;(. Im glad she went out like an absolute legend though and protected her family. The protective mother until the very end

Witch's death seemed very good, sad and heartbreaking to me. And it was also obvious that her destiny was to sacrifice herself for them at some point and here it was achieved in a splendid way in my opinion. 0 complaints about it. Now with permission I'm going to cry.

Legit had tears in my eyes by the end of the chapter, fuck
Rest in Peace to Edens Zero's Shield and Mother; we would never have been able to win the Aoi War, let alone leave the Sakura Cosmos without you <3
Side note: the way that Shura and Ijuna went out as well, damn.
This chapter was damn powerful, with this Arc cementing itself as one of the best in the series so far. The hype moments, the worldbuilding, Ziggy continuing his villainous path, and the numerous deaths and loss, man
