Chapter 67.2 tomorrow 12pm JST
Batista Illustration from Ishida's instagram accountJudging by the red background, it might've been a draft for V13 cover
we never did find out what was up with the old man noh mask at the very beginning, huh

Ik it’s reductive to compare this with TG but Batista’s design and story reminds me of a lot of Arata. Both lost the love of their life and went off into the deep end. Arata is interesting since he sort of haunts the narrative of TG with a bunch of characters using his armor, as if his pursuit of revenge just made him a tool for the people who hated most.I think Batista’s story will have a similar trajectory: even after he dies, traces of him will impact the narrative long after
>We're at the climaxReminder that the Avengers lineup mentioned in 51.2 really ended up being the only opponents YM had to fight against, with Vlad and Nuetista as special Bosses
>>282208317Batista already lingers through the entire story. He developed a bunch of powerful healing items, they saved Tokio twice thus far, 3 times if you count his transformation into choujin. And i think the trend will continue, maybe Palma will pick on some of his inventions and use them.Genuinely a fantastic antagonist. Sato will have big shoes to fill if he's indeed the antagonist of second half.
>>282208191It was Batista with a skin mask on his face.
>>282208387Quite honestly they didn't need to do anything. If Sora was serious she would wipe the entire organization off the fucking map.
Is the manga ending sisters? Is this fight the finale?
>>282209180When tower arc started Ishida said we were at the half way point. So no. There is also the calamity and Tokio/Azuma's vision.
>>282209180Yes about damn time. One more arc after this.
>>282208167Yeah, you can see that he went for similar type of "feel" to it.
>>282208167>>282209921The drapes on Batista kinda remind me of how Vlad's rejected V11 cover looked
>>282209180I think Ishida mentioned halfway point, but I wonder if we will see it over by ch100 or so not 120s. I think we will see the aftermath of this chaos within 7 chapters, a deeper issue arises and the story scales up; then the plot finale with Azuma's visions are addressed. Sato is likely big bad or big bad jr. If I rerread the beginning I wonder if there will be some moral dilemma that Tokio will have to answer
How badly will Tokio get rekt next chapter?
>>282211582He is going to ascended to become his generations X
>choujin x=malcom xThink about it
