Here is the latest chapter. I will probably use this topic for the translated chapter as well.
>>283520677Congrats for the S2 announcement.
Recap from last time...
Empty...
Also empty
what the fuck
Something...Buddhist?
>>283520701Blonde Marbas is a strange choice.
Oh what now
Oh, fuck this guy
...and the Yayoi that Ai was talking to was probably this creepy Scarecrow things boss, great, wonderful
Some weird teleportation
This is just a mockery of a Buddhist deity, isn't it. Another one of the Replaced attempts to make something like Kuubo before they made it?
Nightmare fuel
Oh fuck
S-chan will save the d-
>>283521010Could also be something they're planning on feeding Kuubo or TaiSui
...no dice. She can't ever have a time to shine. I hope she isn't completely done.
Yayoi...
Not looking good...
Well, surely the substitute can negate-
>>283521174>>283521196It's kind of funny how she's like ∞ - 0 in every fight but is still the teams most valuable asset. They really need to find another fodder ghost to carry the slack.
-what the hell, ALL of them???
...fuck
Going through everything...just for this to happen...
However...
Let's see how this mockery does against a REAL God as we end the chapter. (I know he's a bunrei, shush)
>>283521010I think that's the spirit's main body honestly. The spindly scarecrow thing feels more of a grunt than the real boss
>>283521388I know, I'm just saying that the main body looks like a mockery of a Buddha.
>>283521259T Tunnel should be the cannon fodder instead, honestly.
>>283521066>>283521034Seems like the scarecrows are similar to the katashiro, by tying the cut off limbs to a cross, it becomes a human shape, so is able to trap souls like Yayoi's dolls, while the body is fed to the giant Buddha thing, which is how the scarecrows can cry tears of blood while the head is eaten with the bodyThe scarecrow carrying is a bunrei, so I'm guessing that the main body originally looked the same but is currently evolving through a ritual or something, but is unable to move freely, which is why it tricked Ai into summoning it with the pocket watch
Bump
>>283522181If the soul is trapped in the scarecrows, what's the point in eating the empty bodies?Is it a case of trying to become what its eating, an empty vessel? If so, is it trying to be a vessel for Kuubo to step into the material world?
>>283522398Might be one of the various experiments for giving themselves bodies, like how the Angel-sama tried to make women give birth to itself, or some sort of process to make itself god
>>283521381Thank you for posting, OP.

Not sure how accurate that was btw
>>283524638Thank you, anon. I appreciate the effort.
>>283522243Another one.
>>283520677YAYOI SEXO, AI SEXO
>>283520777trips of carnage>>283521010wtf>>283524628>>283521381Ai is still unlucky nearly fucking died in the first thing that showed up, is that Tai Sui taking over? Guess the thing is strong enough to get his interest or he does have some affection for Ai despite everything
>>283526964lil shit is obsessed with fights. he noticed strong enemy and want to fight it. he agreed to fight his main body only because of that.
>>283527055i kinda expected it would take a bit more time for him to show up
>>283527080manga entered next power level ground with strong ghost users, replaced people and demigodsi would be surprised with taisai lose due to some scheme by replaced one. main body could say his secret weaknesses of something like this
>>283527124maybe not lose but if its a smart enemy they just need to stall him enough to try dealing with yayoi and friends, tai sui is also a fightfag so he likely will stall fights that he think its fun
>>283527215he is just a bunrei. he is not real god but an avatar some kind. real god would easily get his ass wiped out
>>283527262i don't think they are fightning gods at every instance anon that would be kinda fucked
>>283527363yayoi said once that were are ghost on same power level as gods. this budda nigga look like one of these, he is sucking shit out human souls like crazy with these bags.
Tai will keep the main body busy, but yeah, its offshoot, the scarecrow, could go after Yayoi, since she doesn't have any of her other spirits on her. Maybe S-chan can reveal that she's not actually defeated yet and do something against that...like, S-chan is supposed to be the tricky, persistent one, please just be playing possum...then again, she never even got a chance to materialize lol...
>>283527721Maybe she will finally evolve
>>283521381holy shit Ai is hot
>>283520777HUGE
>>283530926I'm still thinking of when Main Body Tai possessed her in the car.
>>283531004ssssssex
the replacement thing doesn't get enough credit that thing is o broken being able to die in the place of the person,i wonder if exorcists have anything similar
>>283521381Welcome back
>>283521010is that a fucking vagina? It even has a urethra>>283521381>>283521403>>283521422tell me no break next month...
So glad I've been studying Japanese the last 6 months cuz' this shit is so ass >>283524628
>>283531550Ok anon show us your expertise then
tl is up
>>283531887Dump eet
>>283531780Just gonna do 1 page, translating is a lot more annoying than just comprehending>>283521352>Lil' bitch...>Didn't you>Risk your life>To save Ai>From me?>And yet...>This pitiful state...
>>283520701>ojisan has pink hairhuh
>>283532286thanks anon that sort oif checks out with Tai Sui bunrei being a proudfag
I'll dump the TL.
>>283533073Such a waste of good tits
Wakemi and Honzon are their names, huh...
Please, Kondo, let her win once, come onnnnn
>>283533632i like how the eyes change showing the pleasure of trying to kill Ai in front of her friend
>>283533693and thats a whole stock gone
>>283533632Seems to be a prerequisite to be a sadist to be in the Replaced ranks.
Ok, fair point Tai, but being thrown into this situation right away was not in the plan.
I'm so glad there is no break for the next chapter.
Very spooky chapter. Poor Ai. At least she might have a power up/trump card for future fights
>>283533754>>283533778>>283533806HOLY KIIIINOOOOOOO
>>283533806my god i kneel
>>283533806Could a Bunrei beat and replace his own maker?
>>283533981I mean, that is what will happen if Tai beats his main body. These things will be stepping stones towards that.
>>283533806ENTER
>>283534050Yeah that was the idea. I guess it's a simple matter since both Bunrei and God are made of the same thing.
>>283533806RANDO REPLACED VS PLANET JUPITER
>>283534335he is a sissy now. most of his power came from Big boy main body dude. now he is slightly powerful than graduates
>>283520900>>283520926>ai having a breakdown while kicking and screaming thats hot
>>283521174>>283521196oh cmon, just give her an evo already
>>283533754wonder if this will affect how yayoi does things, she always had a partner that luckshitted his way out, but that only works until the day it doesn't and someone dies>the exorcist is watching all of this and just let her die
>>283533724Aren't those the ones that come right back? I think they might still be there, but just couldn't regen fast enough. This thing seems powerful asf.
>>283533566This was the hair ghost, right? The one that seems to always avoid death and goes where she wants?
>>283538115yeah desu she is the least reliable but i think yayoi only had her to give Ai at the time
>>283538169I think she's reliable for what she's used for. Making hair for ropes and seals, and somehow staying alive. I trust she'll be fine after this encounter.
>>283536557Most of the exorcists are not good people. Plus, he's still "judging" her to see if she will be useful or a threat to them.
>>283536557>>the exorcist is watching all of this and just let her dieI don't think they're like superheros or police. I don't think he feels responsible for those that die around him, if he's not involved with them.
>>283539349This. He doesn't care. He's strong. It's the same jap bugman philosophy they use where their translation of "hero" is simply "Person who is strong / brave / can bend others to their will". They are heroes because they can annihilate others at a whim with their spiritual strength - what does the boot care of the ant? Unlike the western concept, it is completely independent of morality. These exorcists in that regard are heroes in the japanese concept, but anti-heroes in the western one because of their lack of morality.
>>283538987>>283539349His goal is to see if Yayoi is a replaced or someone who can be an ally to the excorcists, from his point of saving Ai could just be him helping a pawn of the replaced.
>>283533496>honzothats an actual deity no? swear I heard it before as some minor temple related personality
>>283539721heroes are about being strong and brave in the whole owrld its not really a jap thing
>>283539890Most western heroes tie into good vs evil, like the dashing knight who quests for a noble cause, or the virtuous king who, with the blessing of God, creates a kingdom of heaven. Asian "heroes" kill everything before them with their strength, stand on the corpses, and declare themselves a hero (because everyone who disagrees is dead), and since the commoners don't want to be annihilated by yet another random thing in their pitiful lives, they grovel to and deify them.
>>283533806she's so fucking SEXO like that
>>283539873True, true.
>>283540060its evil vs good still, ghosts are evil and exorcists are utilitarian,many heroes in their respective works could do so much more but they are more invested in their personal goals, but help people along the way
>>283536557In his childhood flashback, the male exorcist decided to kill all the displaced without looking for a solution to return the stolen human bodies back to their original owners
>>283536557>>283539349>>283539721>>283539873We saw from the monks that they were willing to let Yayoi and the others die if it gave them better odds of dealing with the evil spirits. They also mention that the main reason they get civilians out of the area is simply because they'd get in the way. And the monks seemed to be among the more moderate of the exorcists from what we saw at the meeting.That isn't to say, I don't think it's that they don't care at all about innocent lives. Rather, I think they all have that 'for the greater good' mindset where they're willing to sacrifice some innocent lives in order to deal with strong evil spirits, thinking that it'll save lives in the long run. Maybe the fact that the afterlife exists and they can help the spirits pass on peacefully helps them cope with that decision, I don't know.Given that he said he can watch her back, I suspect that he'll only take action if he both deems Yayoi useful, and it looks like Yayoi is about to lose. What I'm curious about/looking forward to is how Yayoi will deal with the evil spirits after all this. She's already shown that she can be ruthless, but going after her family and friends definitely makes her extra merciless.Also it'll be interesting to see where Ai's character goes when this is all over. Since she's not necessarily a horror freak like Eiko, and she just suffered a pretty terrifying and traumatic experience. I wonder if she'll try to stick it out for Yayoi, or if she'll try to call it quits.
>>283541378I don't think Ai can just look away from all this stuff anymore ,if she goes back its just trauma and because her grandpa they might just try to kill her anyway,also the fact that Tai Sui directly possesed her shows that they still have some sort of connection
>>283541753I don't like the fact that Ai's role in the group will be to get possessed by Tai if he needs it. The poor girl has been through a lot already...but like you said, I don't think she can get away from this, even if she wanted too.
>>283539881Honzon literally means "idol" or "icon". It's the principal deity a temple is dedicated to. Wakemi literally just means "separated body", meaning it's a bunrei.
Yayoi cunny
>>283533566Can never catch a break...
>>283533566Someone has to tell Kondo the next time he does a Q&A on twitter to throw S-chan a bone in the next arc.
>>283541753>>283542443I wonder if this is a way to 'nerf' Tai, by making it so he has to use Ai as a vessel while he's healing instead of his own body.
>>283546367i mean Tai is already nerfed a lot since he lost the main source of his power, idon't even know how he still around without the original granting him power
>>283533806Sankyuu, OP!
bump for readers
Do you think there's any chance Ritsu chan makes it out of this arc alive?On one hand, if she vanishes when she's supposed to be investigating if Yayaoi is a replaced, that'd be very suspicious, on the other hand, she's pretty much really really pissed Yayoi off.
>>283538987>>283539873If Yayoi finds out what's going on here, I'm certain she'd become an enemy to all the elite exorcists then and there. Her friend is in a shit ton of danger because this guy wanted to test her. No way she's joining their club after this. Honestly, I don't think it's out of the question she'd murder him on the spot if given the chance.
>>283549334I wonder if exorcist dude witnessed Yayoi brutally torturing her
>>283542443>I don't like the fact that Ai's role in the group will be to get possessed by Tai if he needs it.I agree with this, but not with>The poor girl has been through a lot already...Currently Ai doesn't feel like she has a useful niche in the group. Kentarou can sense ghosts and is the physically strongest. Shinigamis with him too, and has a "dread fetish". Eiko got tech stuff and a passion for scary stuff. Yayoi is Yayoi. Ai however just seems like a gyaru JK that got caught up in a mess. Shes feels like a dead weight. Wouldn't be surprised if she feels bad about that too. I'd like it if she could support or fight back in someway on her own. Maybe she'll be able to channel power from Tai Sui after this or something.>>283546367I think he's "nerfed" by the fact he's still recovering. Author could probably milk that as an excuse for a while. It was a massive battle after all, AND he's cut off from his god. Dude could need months to get to full strength for all we know.
>>283549829I'd assume he did. He wanted to observe her after all.>>283549611>If Yayoi finds out what's going on here, I'm certain she'd become an enemy to all the elite exorcists then and there.Nah. Yayoi's logical. She understands the difference between letting someone die and killing someone. It's not his fault Ai is in danger, and everything happening now has nothing to do with him being there, to our knowledge. Yayoi might not see him as an ally at the end of all this, but she def wont see him as an enemy just 'cause he didn't volunteer to help.
>>28354933450/50
>>283549334They might just assume it was the exorcist who killed her, considering he is pretty famous among their group and recently just no-diffed their sniper guy. In fact, while the main body would probably be taken by Yayoi, the exorcist would probably get rid of Ristu while she's trying to escape, considering Yayoi and Ai are far away from the train where Ritsu is probably still on
>>283550135Fair enough. Her use maybe so Tai can be used in combat for now, yeah. I still don't like it lol...
>>283550135>>283551813maybe tai sui can lend her some power it might not be strong but enough for her to be useful, but learning and growing it is her thing,sure he can do that
I feel like people forgot that TaiSui was already slamming every graduate just through onmyoji techniques alone.
>>283552901>>283552991Yeah, by "channeling" I mean she can get power from him some how and use it herself, without having to be directly possessed.
>>283553102i forget myself that his loss was with yayoi fully preparing against him and stripping away his power and all kind of preparations that only was there because Tai Sui is a fightfag
>>283553457tai sui is lucky thoif his bunrei wasn't a dumb arrogant cunt fightfag she would sell her soul to other exorcists, western demons or anyone who could demolish his entire temple with a nuke.she is dangerous
>>283553560I think he is unlucky his bunrei wasn't rebelious its because he forcefully revived him instead of allowing him to lose that made him hold a grudge
>>283553620it doesn't matter. she would kill him if needed. she tortured young girl without any second thoughts.since exorcists weren't surprised about someone killed god this happens time to time. contract must be fullfiled only when girl become adult on her 20th birthday. yayoi came with this plan in a month or less. with 5 years she could make whole honshu island curse to one shot him.
yayoi prioritized capturing spirits over killing them because she needs them in fights. this this also limits her, if she needed to save someone by killing spirit instead of capturing him she would change tactic and become more powerful instantly.
