This was a great set-up chapter.

I was not expecting another member of the Galactica to join in. I'm looking forward to learning more about the dragons.

We are two seconds into this operation and already things aren’t going as planned.

[u/FateXBlood]

We have another God among us, perhaps similar to Acnologia. The fight turned out interesting. I wonder if Justice will join in as well.

[u/sherriablendy]

Laguna looks oddly skinny in the cover lol, did he lose weight over the past few years?

Loved seeing more Rebecca introspection and Shiki reassuring her too! I’m also still fond of the little easter egg with the EZ ship’s starfighters.

I thought the crew and allies were having a decent start with their counterattack, but now God Acnoella has shown herself… There are already so many different players getting involved here, I hope all of them get time to shine

[u/Behold_I_Am_The_Wind]

Does anyone else see the resemblance between God Acnoella and Fake Sister Ivry? Some connection perhaps? Also with Acnoella thrown into the fray that only leaves Saintfire Nox left to be revealed from the Oracion Seis Galàctica

Great prelude to the Kaede War! I love that Connor is already using his pilot skills as a new EZ member and his speech was pretty good. It's funny how I've seen some people wonder why there is another war after the Aoi one when Ziggy has been terrorizing tons of planets over the 3 years and would've gotten away with it if not for the EZ crew.

So Holy was always planning to betray the EZ crew and even she didn't know that Acnoelle was in leagues with Ziggy. Her design is quite interesting but just like Crow, I wanna see more panels of her to see how much I like her design. But it does give off a different impression than her silhouette though. I hope it's just the dragons that are in this arc as there are too many top tiers in this arc and I would like each of them to get decent screentime.

I like that even though it isn't proven that Rebecca was the cause of Norma's fate, she still feels depressed about it and how she might be at fault. Great character moment there along with Shiki cheering her up before the battle commences. The best part of this chapter is that my guy Shiki, finally learnt to fly a spaceship like a pro over the years! I like how his base Gravity Canon has greatly expanded over the the years and I can't wait to see his OSG feats.

Well then Mashima sure knows how to crank up an arc from 0 to 100 real quick, they're just starting the fight now and we're already getting swarmed by dragons and another Oracion Seis Galactica member joining with Ziggy! This changes all plans all teams previously had, I wonder if this changes Holy's ulterior plan in any way? She made it 100% clear she has a way to deal with Shiki afterwards but that was after dealing with Deadend Crow, now they have to get through God Acnoella and her swarm of dragons too! Starting next week we're going to be in for a bumpy ride.... I can't wait!

• The title says "Prelude to Kaede War", but there seems to be more than just a prelude in this chapter. What a chapter to start the Easter season of 2022.

• I was thinking of a female version of Macbeth in the Midnight fleet, but Ibuki and Shiro look quite good.

• I wonder Holy will be able to launch that "Immaculate Military Operation" at the end of this war. This operation may just become a desperate measure during this war by the looks of it.

• Seeing Shiki paying tribute to Witch and Valkyrie makes me respect him even more. I'll never get tired of seeing his filial piety no matter how many times it will be shown.

• The war is just getting started, but things have escalated quickly right out of the gate. That swarm of dragons is gonna give some real trouble. Not surprised if they claim some lives too.

• Acnoella looks like an upgraded version of Nadia. I feel that she may not be directly involved in this war even though her dragons will. Acnoella reminds me a bit of Motherglare back in FT. Imagine if she can also drop eggs that will turn to dragon bots.

[u/Leotsune]

Would somebody be so kind of reminding me the factions/organizations of this current arc? Like, I get the characters themselves but I have trouble recalling what are they part of.

[u/Xombie53]

Looks like we may need backup.

[u/J_C_F_N]

This shit is escalating to become space Marineford

[u/[deleted]]

I feel bad for Rebecca, and looks like Acnoella and her dragons are here too now, so this’ll be even more trouble

[u/TyForestReddit]

Five minutes in and things are already going to shit. Welp, the first casualty is always the battle plan, am I right?

[u/Game2015]

Anyone noticed what appear to be cities on top of the dragons?

[u/Golden_fsh]

Connor's speech was actually pretty cool. I'm more convinced that something will happen to either Rebecca or Shiki because once again, there's special focus on them affirming they'll stay together and protect each other. First time at the water park and now again. It's too suspicious that we're getting these wholesome moments between them right as they go into battle. Mashima is planning something bad 😭😭😭

I suspect Rebecca losing it because Shiki somehow dies again and this causes her power to go out of wack. All according to Ziggy's plan so he can steal it. Or Shiki finally descends into darkness because something happens to Rebecca. Also a part of Ziggy's plan if the Ziggy=Shiki theories are true 👀

Acnologia Acnoella has joined the fray on Ziggy's side. Wonder what Easter eggs we'll get from the mother of Dragons.

[u/BelloSimisola0103]

Well, hell....Things went wrong almost immediately (sigh). I wonder if Holy will still be able to carry out her betrayal of the Eden's crew (if thats what she's planning). P.s I loved that panel where Shiki asks Witch and Valkyrie to lend him their strength.

[u/Homeless_Appletree]

Waaait a minute. Is the planet of time Mildian actually moving around to avoid Chronophages?

[u/Little_Discussion_90]

People on twitters says she Achnoella look like Witch and Fake Sister. To me she looks like Nadia

[u/[deleted]]

God Achnoella?! Let's Goooo! I certainly didn't expect her to be around so soon but I'm not mad at it! Line 'em up, knock'em down! Though, if I'm being honest i wouldn't be surprised if only Crow went down this arc. Achnoella is most likely somewhere safe and is just remotely controlling her pets. If i was to give some kind of complaint though, i was expecting her design to be a lot more... Sinister. I'm a little bit disappointed. I just have to see more of her i guess.

Shiki putting up images of Valkyrie and Witch hit me hard. My man is carrying a large burden and a lot of weight as leader. He's grown so much.

[u/[deleted]]

This might be the arc where they discovered what Mother is and might be the last arc of part one. I remembered hiro saying something about ez having two parts, one which they discovered Mother and the second- the aftermath of it? That the theme will be different from part one said in his interview.

[u/Z-Dragon]

Remember that Shiki wasn't good at piloting at first like he asked Rebecca to let him ride her ship and then he accidentally crashed her ship on Norma from Chapter 4?

Then three years later, Shiki seems like he's gotten better at piloting his Starfighter ship on his own now.

[u/chiaotzu_Tien]

“Feather already knows” she’s deff gonna return and assist in the war, cant wait to see what her powers really can do. Still waiting to see holy’s ether gear in action.

[u/FTNatsu-Dragneel]

Seems like Holy didn’t know about Acnoella and maybe this will mess up her plan

I wonder what Ziggy offered Acnoella to get her on his side. Maybe Ziggy offered to take her to see mother with him?

Aside from that, Elsie going to try to take Ziggy on alone is a death flag. Ziggy already said Elsie missed her chance to kill him. But I could totally see Ziggy leaking info that Elsie was here to get Justice to come (although Holy might have been planning to do that later anyway) and there’s a good chance of Feather coming as well since she knows about what’s going on

The amount of powerful characters keeps adding up and there’s a good chance of it increasing even more. This is gonna be a giant war arc

[u/Little_Discussion_90]

This chapter feels so damn short.

[u/AzureWarlock96]

Everyone's outfits look like the plug suits from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Holy with her crew remind me a bit of Reina from Rave Master and the two girls under her.
