>War arc>ZERO good casualties other than two random side charactersAnd niggas said JJK's final arc lacked stakes
>>282933763*good guy casualties
>>282933763>>282933789You can argue what happened to Arthur might be worst than death ...
>>282933763>forgetting the casualties of numerous non-choujin yamato fodders and zora's fodder followersfodders are people too you know?
>>282933763Azuma turning out to not be a real person is a big "casualty".
>>282934071He might also lose the arm.
>>282933661how is this thread stikk uü, and if anon says that sato isn't gonna do anything then how about the chances that our guy hume is gonna do anything
>>282933661wait i'm retarded this is a new thread so i'm gonna ask again, do we think that sato is gonna do anything this chapter
>>282935045I think he is going to find Sora dying on the ground and take her out since she doesn't have the mark anymore.
Bucket? Vanished.His sword? Forgotten.
T-minus 19min
well?
Its herehttps://tonarinoyj.jp/episode/2551460909688401780 I don't trust ely
>>282937067I dunno if it's due to Ely (via Batista one last troll) or Azuma going "Uoogh (Ely Erotic)" but I guess Sato went home

still nothing on the Great Collapse...
>>282937903Anon that would require Ishida to write Momoma. Then again we already saw how Simon and Nue plotline went so she'll prolly get benched out of that too
>>282937926you make a good point
How did Sandek go from pic related to THIS? >>282937403He still had his pupils last time we saw him
>>282938278Ishida forgot
>>282937926Simon hates how the clan became after Nue not Nue itself, so he'll shine when Sato acts up
>>282933763The whole cast starts to die right after this mf said this lol
>>282938300>when Sato acts uptwo more weeks
>>282938300>Simon hates how the clan became after NueNo, he hated how the Kagomuras became so complacent post-Great War that it let to them jobbing to fucking Nue of all things.
>abandons Palma in traffic so he can enjoy his vacation in Not!Honolulu
Choujin (se)X
>>282933763I agree. The deeper it gets all these events hold less weight as a result.
>hume's prophetic dream ended up almost completely irrelevant
>>282937854this little midget has really been pissing me off ever since she went all talk no jutsu on Tokio "NU UH FAGET DON'T GET THE MARK"
>>282939916Yeah, she is extremely annoying and I dislike what she is about to do next.
>>282933763>Jobber squad chapters deflate the initial tension.>Azuma somewhat raises it again with Vlad.>Bucket and Batista, Sora manage to raise intrigue with their respective chapters.>Then Nue proceeds to deflate it all again when he becomes X.Yeah, for the arc that is the turning point of the manga, it's kind off unfortunately lacking in tension. I'm waiting TLanon to look into the current chapter, but given that the more exciting developments were the changes to the status quo I'm hoping we will get something on top of Sato's obvious take over of YM, and Tokio inevitable conflict with Azuma( which I hope doesn't end up underwhelming as well).
>>282938326Yeah but they aren't dead are they fag? And how many of them are going to die? ZERO!
>>282933763Isn't there a troonsaw thread you can shitpost in?
>>282939185Sora is still alive.
>>282937802You need to have enough calories to have enough strength to steal the plane.>>282937854You can always trust Ely to fuck up the situation
>>282939185It's almost like such visions are some sort of metaphors instead of happening exactly like he saw it...
>>282941078>You can always trust Ely to fuck up the situationI don't think she's fucking it up. Batista is dying and needs someone to inherit the Mark.
>>282941114>>282941078She will steal the mark instead of transferring it to the only guy capable of withstanding it (Tokio) and it will trigger the Calamity.
>>282937222>>282937236This is so satisfying.
>>282941142She kinda doesn't have a choice, something needs to be done or most of the main cast will die.
I wonder if Palma is impacted by the Mark as well, she did cheat her death with Sora's blood once.
>>282941142Anon if you haven't noticed>Ely lost communication with the others (she's also in an unknown spot from the rest)>Batista is the one pointing her to take it>Sora quite literally tells Sandek and Tokio to go to Batista because the issue is if HE dies (which he 100% is)>Azuma Tokio Hume and the Stooges are reacting >Tokio right now has rabies and is struggling to move with Sandek trying to get him (they're not gonna arrive on time)Ely is quite literally on the clock
Is my nigga tl anon alive?
>>282937764Please understand, dealing with Yubiko drained all his strength through his balls, he really needed to recharge.
>>282937403>jobbed against the throne
>>282937722Denku my hero
>>282937854So what Ely did here? killing Batista? is this little retard really not getting The Mark?
>>282937785>Ishida put Jing back in his usual boring attireFor fucks sake man...
>>282941462Jing just wants to be a sararyman. He probably despised his cool cultist attire with a burning passion.
>>282941460Batista is dying and needs to transfer the Mark. Surely this is a good idea for Ely to inherit it when she's not a Beast. Surely it won't lead to a catastrophe.
>>282941477Fuck that man, I wanted to see him shirtless
>>282933763well in JJK shit final arc the supposed strongest sorcerer of the history jobbed to a bunch of kids who adquired their powers not so long ago and Choso was the only casuality kek
>>282941491>Batista is dyingfuck now that will be a huge lost, I believed Ishida would forgive him and put him in a Hannibal situation
>>282941536The damage Sora did to him with Choujin Slayer still hasn't healed if you look at the lower portion of his body. And Nue no longer powers him.
>>282941536Anon he got clubbed by an Adamantine before getting the Mark, he was quite fucked
>>282933763manga which kill off too many people are poorly written in general, good examples of "killing off characters" bewray this, berserk only really lost a few actual characters in the eclipse, early attack on titan only killed off a handful of side characters, levi's team, marco, etc
Is Batista Elys dad
>>282941751No.
>>282941402Not him but it's a pretty simple chapter. Tokio catches up the latefags on Zora being chill, Elly tries to ditch Batista who's emitting a Call on the verge of death but he stops her and points to the Signia, Sandek used too much power and is fucked and is impressed Tokio isn't also fucked after his own display, they meet Zora who insists she's just a dying old choujin now and to go quickly find Batista, Tokio tells her he still believes her which she's notes to herself those are words she hasn't heard in a long time, then everyone starts dying due the karmic reversal or whatever the fuck they translated it as and Sandek tells Tokio (dying edition) to quickly get to Batista.
>>282942031>and is impressed Tokio isn't also fucked after his own displayYeah this is actually impressive. If you think about it, after Tokio trashed Azuma after going Chaos, he still had enough strength to fly afterward.
>>282937403Lmao
>>282937403reminds me of Jason of TG lol
>>282933763Isn't this just an "end of part 1" kind of arc?, I wouldn't expect many important characters to die here, Zora and Batista are more than enough
So it seems like Batsista actually dies offscreen, but Elly most likely didn't (possibly couldn't) take the beast mark. Or hasn't yet anyway.I was half-expecting Elly to meet the death requirements too, since she also kinda stole a power from one of Zora's kids and had to Revive after, but going by how Smoky looked to be shouldering it, she has thief's immunity.Also slightly expected Azuma wouldn't be affected since I thought that his metal power originated from Queem but was just stimulated by Zora's blood, since Azuma is kind of a complicated case. Either way, neither of my curve balls predictions hit their mark.Granted there's always dozens of ways thing can go wrong in entirely different directions.
>>282937269>It's 25th December NOW>"Personally, I don't plan on dying for my birthday"
Sato... how long are you gonna keep me waiting...
>>282933763>JJKfag desperately trying to get people to praise his slop
Come on TL-kun,this is an important chapter goddamn it
>>282937744>>282937764>>282937785>>282937801>>282937821>>282937836this happens to me when I have an epileptic attack btwnot even joking lmao
Odds of azuma coming out of nowhere and stealin the mark?
>>282944545Bro... he's busy fighting (different) demons >>282937744
>>282944584i somehow missed him lol
>>282944545Palma getting is more likely than him
>>2829445450he's at death doors
Is it normal that I'd REALLY like Ely to die or at least step out of the picture for a little bit? There's something she's doing that feels a bit overwhelming
Tokio>wrecked Ice>talked Sora down, preventing complete wipe of the entire operation (lets be real, she would splatter the entire Yamato forces, her D100 attack alone is broken)>influenced Ely enough for her to talk Batista down, thus creating opportunity to defeat Nue>achieved controlled Chaos>turned God Emperor Nue into sashimi >still has enough strength for search and rescue afterwardsAzuma>went on a sperg tantrum against an overgrown tick choujin>completely lost himself>nearly harmed YM personnel and forced BB to sacrifice herself to calm him down>most likely permanently lost a handAzuma humiliation ritual arc
>>282945099> There's something she's doing that feels a bit overwhelmingWhich is?
>>282945099I think this is exactly what Ishida has in mind. She's toying with forces beyond her comprehension, her moral compass is too rigid, and it will most likely backfire badly.
>>282945099I think the issue with Ely is that she feels like a completed character already so her only place in the plot is to either die or fuck something up to set the next part of the plot in motion
>>282945099Ishida is sprinkling a bit too much marysue powder on her (Though I think it's probably intentional to make her feel like a nuisance or problem to progress the final villain)
how would azuma and tokio react to ely dying?
with this chapter we begin Volume 15 right?
>>282945099I also started wondering if it started to become Ely X or something honestly. Too much focus on her, and not of the good kind
>>282945288>marysueAnon pls.She is possibly the most inoffensive and well written member of the "power thief" archetype i've seen in the entire medium. Her biggest win thus far was literally nagging at Batista until he realised how hard he fucked up. She routinely gets rekt, relegated to fighting lower tier threats and mostly provides utility in fights because she's nowhere nearly as strong as the actual powerhouses even with stolen powers.She is literally just a grumpy and fierce country bumpkin with a moral core that's too rigid for her own good.
>>282941142she really doesn't have a choicebecause >>282941312 and >>282941559
>>282945330
>>282945330Anon I don't think they'd be able to react>>282945370Yes
Could someone kill sandek already
>>282945122>Azuma humiliation ritual arcSimon was always right
>>282945471He is serving as Tokio's carriage right now to get to Batista... which is useless because Tokio was the one to help him until the rabies kicked in
>>282945472oops wrong page
>>282937854I'm worried we don't see Palma among the ones dying
>>282945514>Sometimes it's better to do nothingSpoken like a true benchwarmer
>>282945578Palma is an interesting case. She has Bill Morth powers but she did cheat death by injecting Sora's blood so i wonder if she feels the effects too.
>>282945578>I'm worried we don't see Palma among the ones dyingToo busy masterbaiting man. Death can wait for a bit
>>282945578inb4>Ely grabs the mark goes chaos>The rabies stop>cut to the traffic>Nude slapping Palma back to consciousness (turns out she also got rabies offscreen)
>>282945514Azuma should stick to investigative work and combat support. Every time he went all out thus far ended in a disaster.
>>282945616>Ely grabs the mark goes chaos>The rabies stopI REALLY hope Ely doesn't just turn into the calamity immediately after, that'd be so incredibly lame.I'd want the entire arc to progress her into her final form(also I'm absolutely not interested at all in goth phase evil ely arc, okay)
>>282945731>Ely is on a brink, can barely hold the power>Sato appears and gently dumps his snuff porn folder into her head
>>282945731We might get Chaos Form Ely (we're kinda overdue) as a final thing, MAYBE resulting in Sandek dying (C-02 theory)>inb4 we get another doublespread with a character's back like pic related (Palma from traffic, Sato wherever he is, Bucket returning just to see this shit)
You know the only way Batista can yet survive? If Ely steals him entirely. This can also ensure he will be there to witness if she can pass her own shit test.
>>282945099I kinda think that her thief blood will kick in and in a moment of madness she will keep the power to herself. I think that her meeting wormue was symbolic to show their similarity.>>282945423Why would you address the anon and quote the post that addresses the same anon, lmao
>>282945578In theory, shouldn't she have used too much of her own choujin raises for it to bind her?After the injection she died like what, three times? All in hyena arc IIRC
>>282946091Now that could be interesting as maybe Batista could help her bear the weight of the mark when she absorbs it?
>>282947222>Ely becomes the Calamity but half-dead Batista holds her back from inside, thus starting his final redemptionCinema
>>282947275Hey, I remember that chapter!
>>282947180>In theory, shouldn't she have used too much of her own choujin raises for it to bind her?She was clearly unable to Raise further when zombies devoured her. Remember, Tokio's insane Raise limit is an exception, not a norm, most choujins can barely do it once or twice.
>>282947311But she was constantly raising while crossing the sea for like a month (or was it three months?).
TL-kun?
>>282947332Ishida forgot
>>2829473322 months >>282947385> Ishida forgotwhich is funny because the mention of her swimming came in after that battle kek
>>282947332"Constantly" is not at the rate of a zombie horde continuously tearing her from limb to limb.
>>282947332Raising from drowning a bit it's probably not as hard as raising from having large portions of your body being eaten
>comms are still out despite the fact they are essentially at the ground levelSuspicious
>>282947659A massive building collapsing and crushing the general area is not good for nearby cell towers
>>282947659Suspicious is Sandek's state compared to last chapter>Last chapter: Bandana, still has his pupils, near the throne room still up>Now: No bandana, pupils are gone (eyes just like Hume's), unconscious on some rubble on the floorIt being dawn compared to night aside (it could've been a couple of hours or they were fighting at 6-7 in the morning when dawn is supposed to be, but I doubt), The tower last chapter didn't look that damaged to the point it ALL fell down (only the top side)Either something happened offscreen or Ishida truly forgor
>>282947938He probably collapsed a few moments after his attack in a goofy fashion.
The fact Sato knows how to achieve controlled Chaos is a huge red flag. If he can teach something so advanced to Tokio, he is obviously capable of doing it himself, and likely even teaching it to his own Swords. He may secretly have the most powerful military force in Yamato right now, and they are loyal to him and not the organization.
>>282943930your eyes start bleeding? Can that really happen from epilepsy
Tl kun tl kun, are you here?
I swear to god if we don't see mado splattered on the wall next chapter furuta style I'm kinda gonna be pissed with Ishida
>>282950308I agreeMado's cockblocking spree is due for a cutting
>>282937684>Now you shall start foaming at the mouth and dying in agonizing pain from a massive cerebral hemmorhage. Farewell, young Tokio, The future is looking bright.
>>282937067>Ely took the MarkJesus ely why are you like this
>>282941507>>282941462I just noticed Ishida's works usually feature that one chinese character who's usually very hot
>>282945099>>282945288Elly has the best ability to become a choujin X on her own, after all. All she has to do is steal abilities slowly and get used to them, or steal a bunch at once and either adapt or die to achieve it.Really, Tokio has the lowest potential of the 4 main characters. Palma has Bill and Zora blood, Azuma has Queem specs and Zora blood, Elly can be anything she wants to be, and Tokio just has Zora blood (which tends to make people into jobbers).
>>282954463You cannot steal your way into CX status. You need to be extraordinary. Nue tried and got raped raw.Tokio has by far the biggest raw potential and ability out of 4 main characters. He's also the only one who can control Chaos which seems to be the real gateway into top tiers in this setting.
>>282954753>You cannot steal your way into CX status. You need to be extraordinary. Nue tried and got raped raw.Nue literally did that, though. Zora went on about how stealing the beast mark wouldn't work, and then it worked. Batista only fucked up by trying to do something even a Choujin X can't do and failed, and then Nue was stuck with crippled power and the dumbass inside him was also restraining him. Besides, we don't know much about what it takes to become a choujin X. Zora for some reason has inheritable powers so that makes her successor easy, but all we were told about her is that she one day awoke to becoming a Choujin X after being a normal choujin while fighting Queem.
>>282955174>Nue literally did that, thoughNue didn't do jack shit, it was all Batista who is beyond extraordinary. Nue immediately crashed and burned the second he was allowed to roam free. The Mark doesn't accept anyone, Batista needed an improved Xember to become a Beast first. Ely is mundane. That's her entire shtick. Her mother's fate shows what happens when a depriver gets greedy.
>>282954463>Tokio just has Zora blood (which tends to make people into jobbers).inb4 we get to know papa bird scored prime Antitise survivor bloodline
>>282955595That would explain a lot because he essentially became Antitise 2.0
>>282955502>The Mark doesn't accept anyone, Batista needed an improved Xember to become a Beast first.I'm more curious why there's a mark to begin with. Does every Choujin X have one, or did Zora literally craft her Choujin X abilities into a mark specifically so it can be succeeded? Is it some unique quirk that just happened to come around for just Zora? And even if the mark has her abilities, why are her 'kids' tied to the mark and not her herself, since it's literally her blood still?How much lore do we have about foreign nations and foreign Choujin X anyway? Because I can recall almost nothing on that. I think I recall something about the seas being fucked but that also might have been another series I was reading.
>>282955595>>282955725How strong was the dude anyway? He got name dropped alongside Choujin X but wasn't a Choujin X himself apparently. I assume he was just insanely strong yet weaker than a normal Choujin X, just his ability type gave him really good affinity against Queem specifically.
>>282956161The Choujin X mark is probably a type of mutation instead of something she did
>>282935626cute ume

>>282957043Thank you anon, better late than never
>>282956161Queem's sign looks a lot like the Mark and it's stated he became a choujin via experimentation. I think the Mark is an ancient force of some kind, but not the singular way to become an X.
Imagine Bucket's face when he finds out the mark he was assigned to protect passed to Batista, then Nue, then Ely, then Sato the queemspawn.
>>282958431I hope that Bucket will become one of the central characters in the second act of the story. Maybe the next mentor for Tokio, harsh and unforgiving?
>>282958321>it's stated he became a choujin via experimentationDo you remember what chapter that's from? I've completely forgotten that detail so I clearly need to reread it.
>>282958557Actually i can't remember either. But it's cited on wiki and in several other places so clearly it was stated somewhere.
>>282937432>>282956772>Seems like you're okay...>It's imperative to have self-control when using that much power...Not to backseat translate, but I'm pretty sure he's referring to how Tokio completely controlled Chaos mode and still hasn't hit his cap, so he's tossing Tokio a compliment. Particularly since Sandek similarly used all his power and is completely drained.>It appears you're just fine...>It's no small feat to retain self-control using so much power...
