Support NeoGAF

[Dresden]

Everything in this academy is either a competition or a race to avoid expulsion. Most of the time it's both.

Just the fact that they count earnings and that other booths avoided the spot by the Chinese RS makes it clear imotbqh

 

[Angry Grimace]

They're not really competing though, all the booths are their own thing. The only direct competition happening is between Soma and Yugi.

Yugioh's challenge was to beat him in any one cooking thing. Basically, all he has to do is make more money, or a single better dish, etc. I don't know if that will matter since Yugioh is obviously an asshole and probably would need Soma to actually beat him at something legitimate rather than just lose horribly except for one random thing.

Chronos Ruler 1

Doesnt feel like something that should be associated with JUMP as its plot feels similar to something else that was in Comic Zero Sum with the reverse time and etc (Toki Tenshi I believe). Though I also dont see the long plot for this, perhaps its just the bros and various random characters beyond this one girl and her brother? WIll keep following.

You did it! You finally did it! You've done it, the impossible MangaGAF Dream! Congraulations on posting your 10,000th tilde in the Manga Thread!! We all knew you could do it! The record that will never be broken! AMAZING!

 

[Save 'N Quit]

mention of stalker-kun reminded me that Soma has all those scrubs indebted to him for returning their heirlooms. I guess that would be his workforce, at least the ones who aren't tied down to other booths already.

But you have to question just how many of those scrubs would still be around after Stagiaire.

Shingeki no Kyojin:

Umm, is the Monkey Titan anyone we've seen before? This series introduces so many little characters that it's hard to keep up with everyone. Also, was there any significance in Eren remembering the instructor? Just looked like a few flashes from the training days and nothing else.

I'm ready for them to get to the basement.

Natsu No Zenjitsu [End]

Well, the bonus chapters were kinda badly placed. Heh.
I enjoyed it all in all, even the ending. Everyone acted out their character, and while it was ugly, it was also an honest and mature conclusion in many ways. From the initial setup I'd even say it couldn't have ended any other way about a handful of chapters in, really. Was Tetsuo a scumbag? Sure. Was the way he broke up in similar bad taste like KNIM for example? Yeah. But still, ...

You know what? Thinking back on KNIM just totally soured me on this. Fuck everything.

Finally this game may be over, but I bet there is some trick or something once they use that sticker if they use. Hang in there King of Derp Faces.

 

[striferser]

Stinky tofu stand bruh.

Bitches love choudoufu.

Now this give me another idea
Soma made a tofu so stink, it will keep other people away from him and Yugi booth. That'll work.

soma's crew:

- knife-chan
- childhood friend
- that one woman from the first chapter
- the restaurant that he btfo when he went back home for a bit
- Hinako visiting and getting roped in
- knife-chan

I won't be surprised if childhood friend come to the festival and get roped by soma to handle the booth. Oh yeah, knife chan still owe Soma.

Soma already used the gimmick of performance cooking and he's already aping part of the Camping Trip gimmick (stealing from a big line).

My guess is that he will have more than himself as employees and we're almost certainly going to see more of Qipao (who is explicitly not in a RS and a Chinese specialist) to tell him how to not be shitty at Chinese food.

I'm gonna laugh if Qipao ends up in the harem.

I'm okay with this.

He already gave her all of it.

Well, Soma could give her smutty shojo.

Whoo~

Yay me~

Soma will hire Stalker-kun because of his mimic ability.

Now that is a good idea. Wouldn't be surprised if stalker force himself into Soma

She isn't. And she is still sealed away, so she won't show up for another 50 years.

Welp, as expected: No Asuna = Bad End for Negima

I think this more or less also answers why Negi waited 60 years before going after the Lifemaker to save his father, given after sealing Asuna away he must have slapped himself silly realising that he should've waited a bit.

Negima revelations aside, I really liked watching everyone else's training. Kuromaru's in particular was good if brief, since we got to see exactly where he was born on Mars and the fact he took down a dragon (what does Ken have against dragons anyway?). Plus Dana not treating his decision like a joke was refreshing for once.

Orange 19

A fine example of dramatic irony

Didn't realise the manga came back from its brief hiatus. And boy, what a chapter to come back to after the last ones cliffhanger. Doesn't exactly leave much hope to the new timeline Kakeru if they both ended up at the same place anyway. In fact, it's worse since all the effort Naho put into saving Kakeru ended up backfiring and instead of blaming her

Spoiler

for his mother death

he is now blaming

Spoiler

himself

Regardless of how things turn out in the new timeline, reading what happened as Kakeru's mental state kept on declining to the point of him being

Spoiler

suicidal

was heartbreaking. Some of it hit too close to home with my own loss, but the way he kept on hurting himself and the people he loved was hard to read (the scene with his grandmother trying to comfort him and Naho trying to be close with him, and his reaction both during his outburst and after regretting what he had done, was something I had to deal with as well).

The worst part about seeing things from his perspective was realising how easy it was for him to get caught in that vicious cycle of becoming self loathing and angry/bitter about everything. When he realised that both

Spoiler

Naho and Suwa were a couple

you could tell it was eating him inside, and the way he tried to approach Naho about it afterwards made it all the more sadder to watch. He couldn't apologies, he couldn't let her know of his feelings, he couldn't do anything but realise he lost something important to him and became in his mind weaker despite telling himself to be stronger.

What even adds more to this tragedy is when he did try and reach out the first time he did so with the worst group of brats he could find. Naho, Suwa, Chino etc were going to accept him and try and do whatever it took to help him heal, but he was so afraid of their reaction that it only lead further down that dark path in his mind. He needed to talk with someone, he needed someone to listen to him.

Spoiler

And worst, given that we already know how much the original Naho and Suwa were beating themselves over not noticing what was wrong in their letters, it makes you realise how much could've been solved had they all just communicated properly.

Spoiler

The last few pages with him discovering his mother's unsent message brought everything full circle, and more or less was the nail in the coffin for his mental state. Kakeru really was his mother's son, and much like his mother died regretting everything she did, believing that she only harmed her son despite her best efforts to protect and cherish him, Kakeru stood in front of that truck and let it run him over. Much like how things could've been better had Kakeru opened up to his friends, the situation with Kakeru's mother might have taken a better turn had she too sent that message and talked it out with her son.

Or maybe I'm being optimistic. Maybe the butterfly's wings do not change was is meant to be, only shift things slightly and everyone's time is already set in stone. I try not to relate too much with how Kakeru reacted to his mother's death since my situation is different from his, despite the fact that I hurt people close to me and I know I let down a lot of people I respected and allowed myself to wallow far too much into self deprecation. But it hard for me not to feel for him and wish someone could've told him there was another way if he had just trusted himself and his close friends and family.

There should be only a few more chapters now till the end. Hopefully it all ends up working out.

She isn't. And she is still sealed away, so she won't show up for another 50 years.

Shes around you know. Future Eva brought her to the past form the future at the end of Negima.

So there should be two of her: one asleep, and the other serving as princess.

Not quite. UQ Holder is occurring without the Asuna who was sent back in time thanks to Chao's time traveling machine. There's ever been one Asuna in UQ.

After UQ Holder concludes, Asuna will wake up and then Chao and Eva will meet up with her and send her back, but not for another 50 years as far as UQ Holder is concerned.

Ok, I'm beginning to suspect that this may take place in the timeline where Asuna is "lost" for like 100 years.

Ok, I'm beginning to suspect that this may take place in the timeline where Asuna is "lost" for like 100 130 years.

There had been a lot of hints along the way:

-check the grave stone on Negima 352 and UQ Holder 1 (and make note of the date Negi died in both series)

-Note how many times Asuna ever shows up in flashbacks. Also, for fun, how many of Class 3-A show up in their adult form including Negi, yet Asuna is only shown in her 14 yo state, not as an adult in the end of Negima

-magic being known worldwide in UQ Holder in 2070, but already well known in 2011 in Negima

Etc.

Shingeki no Kyojin:

Umm, is the Monkey Titan anyone we've seen before?

You're not the first one to ask that, but really, considering the monkey titan didn't know about the 3D gear, it just can't be someone we've seen before.

Also, was there any significance in Eren remembering the instructor? Just looked like a few flashes from the training days and nothing else.

He hadn't realized it was the same guy (except with hair). Hell, I didn't connect the dots for quite some time either. I think I realized that upon reading that one Levi spin-off.
