>>287259277For lucas' sake of course
>>287259426>>287259428It was updated to "I need to save it for Lucas" because in Japanese it's more ambiguous whether its for Lucas' sake or for Lucas (as in to use against him). There were 3 minor corrections but I had already started dumping.
>>287259448
>>287259448What's the original line in Japanese?

Garland is fucked if Zoe keeps seeing this shit...
>>287259518damn, this is good
>Zoe going through a Stein's Gate momentSasuga.
>>287259518
>>287259533
Zoe is blooming
>>287259114This bit, and his hug from chapter 43 is such a stark contrast to his behaviour in this chapter.I really thought he was gonna side with Kayano.
>>287259546
>>287259395>>287259406Simulation really shouldn't matter but for Zoe it gives her all the time to actually mature.
>>287259557
>>287259276It got moved to a quarterly magazine
I wonder if its significant that in the simulation the Garland nukes keep finding Zoe 2 years after she runs away.Its weird bit of consistency with the meteor strikes.
Is this going to become one of examples for good use of Time-Travel (Fake) in a story?
But did she had sex with Lucas in the simulation though?
>>287259578
>>287259610Yes, see >>287259619 and the next page. Actually brilliant idea.

>>287259730I remember she was depicted as much as much less beautiful at the start. It was around the point where lucas starts falling for her hard that she got beautified.

>>287259744
>>287259744KISSU!Zoe's kissu!
>>287259744Lucabowl is overYandere bitches, go home
>>287259416This page just reminded me Lucas mostly saw music as an escape from his surroundings. Wonder if there's no timeline where he becomes a famous musician cause the moment he can stop fighting he doesn't need music like he used to.>>287259672I need to see an omake about the NEET Zoe timeline now
>>287259764
>>287259764>remember the titleSTOP ITTTNOOOOO!!!PLEASEEE!GOD!

>>287259672>Zoe lived out at least one simulated timeline where Lucas fulfilled his dream of being a musician.
>>287259712Had to wait til the end of the dump to post this. Same feel that this series is getting removed from Jump SQ main to RISE.
>>287259744Reminder that this isn't his first kiss
>>287259744IT TOOK 14 VOLUMES BUT I WAS HERELETS FUCKING GO
>>287259774The one shots made by the authors will be translated to help with the waiting times.

Hmm yeah I'm thinking she's gonna go into a deep sleep after this battle until her body gives outPsycho girl won
>>287259792>A Major announcement is planned.Anime?
I hope I'm just imagining the Zoe death flags
>>287259774>I'm an adult >dat curveGODDAMN
>>287259792
>>287259774She's so going to die isn't she
>>287259792What is the difference for SQ Rise?

And now, dare you roll?
>>287259792>major announcementS-surely they wouldn't axe it immediately after moving it to another magazine, r-right?
>>287259744>>287259764>>287259774She should do another 10 years to get that milf aura
>>287259815>>287259767"Coura, please take good care of Lucas" as she sacrifices herself (or her time). The last hope. I will go down with the ship anyways, like any good Couranon would. Thanks for being here everyone. See you in a while... dump over
>>287259840Rolling for nun Zoe
>>287259840I always dare.
>>287259840Pious Zoe for the win.
>riseWow this is almost as bad as going from jump to giga
>>287259840ROOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN
>>287259832Chapter once every 3 months.
>>287259858>got gamer Zoe
>>287259672Zoe is a fucking gamer now kek. Also, the last panel of this page is hilarious
>>287259855>nun ZoeNice.>>287259843NTA, but I'm guessing the announcement is a "and we're entering the final stretch. 10 chapters left" sort of thing.It does feel like we're starting to hone in on the final stages of the story.
>>287259865Please say it means a chapter is 100+ pages.
Why can't they just transfer it to any of their digital platform? Kodansha did it. Shogakukan did it. Shueisha is so behind in terms of digital improvement compared to other publications.
>>28725988610 chapters left is still like 3 volumes because of them being over 60 pages.If anything, it's going to be 3-5.
Lucas already had his first kiss stolen and his holes ruined by a dirty old man (the druid), anyone else is just getting sloppy 100ths
>>287259915Yeah, I was just throwing that out as a random number. Not a realistic estimate.I'm guessing 5-7.
>>287259718kys Poppy, you did this >>287259792 too, didn't you
>Poppy is a PSfagThat redeemed her a little bit.
Why move it to a different magazine if it's ending anyway?
>>287259484Same energy
>>287259774>I'm an adult>And you're a child.Zoeybros, should we be worried?
>>287259917Yeah but whatever he hasn't done yet, Zoe got to do a dozen times
>>287259672I love how they draw people clapping it's so fucking cute.>>287259840Muslim Zoe inshallah
>>287259969Taboos only make it better.
>>287259744Same energy as well
>>287259969I mean we have the Macron out there.
>>287259955Maybe the author just wanted to slow down the pace of work a bit to make sure it sticks the landing. It's been so long and so many uncertain times about the manga's future for the ending to get drawn in a hurry (which so far hasn't happened, but maybe they are just tired and feel there's risk the quality could drop).
Getting some serious death flags.Buy more Coura-coin.
>>287259969Nah. Lucas groomed her when she was childbrained and now her grooming him back causes both to cancel out. Rock solid.
>>287259915>>287259940It's either 2 volumes left (6 chapters) or 3 (9 chapters). I don't see the point in transfering to another magazine, if it's only 6 chapters though
>>287259671Lazy Bookwalker screenshot.
>>287260013Can't argue with that.
>>287259998>Getting some serious death flags.Same.Everything with Zoey this chapter feels like a goodbye. Like how you get a flashback before a villain dies. That feeling of the sequence with Zoey living out simulated lives to age up her mind is super remniscent of Zaheed and Oskar exploring the city before it gets nuked and they leave the story.Its like this is Zoey's last stand....I hope I'm wrong.
>>287259761It's okay... we will go down with her...
>>287259915>>287259940I still don't see it. Pope just keeps adding foreshadowing and the Druids themselves need to finally appear front and center. The next chapters would have to be 2-3 times as long for this to end in under 10.
>>287259996The author doesn't get any say in this.
>>287259672Who did Zoe main in Tekken?
>4 month break>4 months to find out whether Zoe survives when she just picked up enough death flags to fill a warehouse
>>287260059Idk taking over the empire's tower can probably be done in like 2 or 3 chapters and using all the towers to fuck up the druids can be done in another 3 probably. Unless the story goes balls deep into the ayylmaos, their part shouldn't be too long.
Rather than chapters you should think in how many volumes are left with how many pages a chapter can have in this series.
>>287260096I'm thinking 2, which would still mean another 2 years of bugle call lmao.
BELIEVE.The one that died is Zoe's immaturity, her childishness.
>>287259840Wife
>>287260094>Unless the story goes balls deep into the ayylmaosWhy would they not? We still don't know what exactly happened with the futurists in their nuked timeline. It would also suck for the massive druid empire teased last chapter to just be glossed over.
People here really thought this wasn't getting axed with the plot ramping up.
>>287260094>goes balls deep into the ayylmaosLike the ayylmaos went balls deep into Lucas?
>>287259779>It was staying with the Futuriggers that made it happenWeird seeing that this outcome wasn't so bad. Everyone got humanized so much by this chapter. How bitterrsweet.
>>287260127the aliens shit killed the series
>>287260147Those are two separate lives. The Futurist village life has nothing to do with Lucas becoming a musician. Left side is one life, right side is another life.You see the meteor falling and crash while Zoey clapping for Lucas playing on stage.And you see the meteor falling while she plays video games with Poppy.
>>287260153The series was always in danger of getting axed before ayy lmaos. It was a miracle they even let it reach this far with how low the sales were.
>>287259792This is both good and bad.Bad: It sucks for us to wait so longGood: It guarantees its not axed and that it takes its time to end. Might result in higher quality (page count, art) due to being a longer time in the making.
>>287259744THATS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR BABY COME ON
Coura is fucking DEAD
>>287260293NEVER. Total Coura Victory to the last breath.
>>287260293...ahead in the lucas bowl
>>287259044Oh no, I don't like where this is going. Guess we're finding out why she's called the time-weaver.
>>287260293>>287260302>>287260305I'm honestly surprised we're so close to the end and she has no death flags. Maybe we'll make it... will she be happy?
>>287259204Noooo I liked this guy
>>287260243>The series was always in danger of getting axed before ayy lmaosnah, it was going alright but ayy lmaos and dumb future village people with video cameras made people start checking out, I see this sentiment everywhere
>>287259792What's the release schedule now?
So how will this end? Will Lucas somehow use Zoe's power and doot across the entire timeline?
>>287260407Kill all the droodsKill all futurists too
>>287260407>Thank you, Bugle Call
>>287260393>>287260433Oops meant to reply to you
>>287260393Citation in nip forums/social media? Sale trajectories didn't change if you look at Vol releases.
What does Akira expect to do now that he's blown away his teleport man?
>>287260434When Lucas is yelling at Zoe in this chapter he's genuinely saying Tatakae.
>>287259744Zoebros, we won!
>>287260472I hate it...
>>287260450Grab a horse and make haste.
>>287260446>Sale trajectories didn't change if you look at Vol releasesUh, yeah they did, what are you talking about. Here's the aftermath of the future and ayy lmao shit.
>>287259551Maybe he does. He cares about the wellbeing most of all and what he sees here is the Papal Forces being routed and an extremely high likelihood of capturing a Sapling Candidate. So even if he's going against her wishes, he might think this is the safest way and that she can just get used to it later. It makes sense if you think about it from that PoV. He might rebel later on.
>>287259758Maybe it's just me but I think early chapters Zoe looks better. She's a lot more moe these days, although that might be partly due to the artstyle shift.
>>287259840can't lose here, rollin
>>287259840Rolling. I want the Farmer Rei one.
>>287259204>>287259196Kek, he is almost as bad at this as his wife
>>287259840Give me ponytail or happy dancing Zoe
>>287259712>Despite everything, it's still you
>>287260600You're getting Boudica Wife Zoe and you're going to like it
>>287260111A-anon?
>>287258935Reading this, at chappy 8 nowWill join you guys next month I guess
>>287260838>next month
>>287260871After the World Trigger chapter next week
>>287260551I dunno, man. Mira was literally about to teleport her to the mainland continent. THAT was the safest way out for her from this situation.Killing Mira doesn't jive with a desire to keep her safe, imo.
>>287260871Don't fucking tell me a hiatus started the second I picked up the series
>>287260967It got moved to Jump SQ RISE, which is four issues a year.
>>287260967It got transferred to a quarterly magazine. Now a chapter every 3-4 months.
what the FUCK
>>287260952Lucas and Zoe got away and still got killed in every alternate timeline.
>>287259158kek that was such a colossal fuck up wasnt it? and she looked so proud after that convo too
>>287261035Yeah, they got killed by KAYANO. If she's escaped, she's obviously not going to be nuking the planet.
>>287261054But if she escaped and the Empire won the war, they'd eventually be located.
>>287260952I still think every timeline Akira's seen where Kayano deserts ends poorly for her which is why he's so adamant she sticks around
>>287261069If the Empire can win the war without her, it literally doesn't matter what anyone does. Everyone is fucked either way. She still lives a better life for a short time away from them instead of a fucked up life with them.>>287261078It doesn't really jive with his nihilistic view on life that he's expoused, but I can buy that at least.
>>287259578>>287259619fuck this hits way too close to home
>>287258935Oh shet
>>287261098>If the Empire can win the war without her, it literally doesn't matter what anyone does. Everyone is fucked either way. >She still lives a better life for a short time away from them instead of a fucked up life with them.They clearly can. All they need to do is defeat this small Papal Force and take someone as a Sapling Candidate. The Futurists were even joining them on their own.
>>287261112I started treating my trauma in therapy not that long ago so I really get it, Anon...
>>287259744Alright, this is the best series in years, hands down
>>287259744was this really necessary
>>287259774Reading the timeloop section while listening to https://youtu.be/Mabc2-Mko8E was extremely appropriate.
>>287261045lmao I need that panel where she's wheeling away
>>287260997dailies are strong
>>287261464shit was the bugle call one popular/fun? i kinda ignored it since well i already read the series
>>287261294
I wasn't in time to post this in the last chapter thread, but I think it nobody noticed this
>>287261517Fuck, here it is
>>287261496Look at her go!
>>287260472... second place in the Lucasbowl!
>>287261477Pretty fun desu as a first time reader. Like half way through I just ended up reading ahead but also still followed along daily.
Lucas got gaped by a tree
>>287261733Zoe's dream future sex is more powerful and cancels it out
>>287261733He always seemed like he had a stick up his ass...
>>287259744>>287259726This is rape.
Demi a bitch
>>287259726No one's gonna say it?AlrightBOOOOO YOU COWARD, KEEP HER MENTALLY 7
i love this series so much. been caring less and less about all the other ongoing manga im reading and i havent picked up anything new in months, but these chapters always make me happy.
>>287260449I don't think he accounted for teleport man sympathizing with Kayano. He had to kill him right then, otherwise she would have been teleported god knows where and the whole war effort would be wasted. But yeah, they're not exactly in a good spot. Unlike Zoe, Kayano still doesn't want to fight.
Lucas is so lucky...
>reading the chapter:)>seeing the move to Rise:(
>>287262952I don't know how I'm going to cope with a three month wait to see if Zoe fucking dies next chapter or if she beats the death flags.
>>287259744So based....
>>287263092So it's one chapter every 3 months? Hopefully they bump the current 60 page a chapter to 90.
/a/proved fantasy manga with dump threads
If only Miura was still here...
Why was this moved to sq rise? I'm so fucking pissed
>>287259744SHE IS GROOMING HIM NOW YEAS
>>287259894Hahaha, touge oni? D-gray-man?
>>287259158She fucked up so hard that that retarded speech.
>>287259619>>287259632Luca giving out some good advice. And to be fair, she was succeeding in those jobs, she just has to deal with a two year time limit before the meteors drop.
>>287259672Poppybros, we are so back!
>>287260997It's a really good manga
>>287259744ZOE WON THE LUCABOWL!
>>287259661>>287259672This work of paneling is beautifull, im crying man
>>287263354Maybe they just unironically need more time
>>287259744>>287259774So is Zoe now officially a pedo ?
>>287263813It's ok they spent over a decade together in her visions so Lucas is basically the same age from her perspective
>>287263131I read this and Tower Dungeon, are the others any good?I need to catch up on Tower Dungeon actually, stopped when Funapa entered the tower.

>>287259277The Ponitf's pieceThe Pope's people popperThe Bishop's Boomstick
>>287263902Centuria has been pretty fun so far, with way more good chapters than bad ones, and it keeps hitting the right story beats. Art can be hit or miss sometimes, but it's got some good stuff in there every so often.Drifting Dragons is alright. Story-wise, it's rather simple and subdued, with barely any plot at all. The best thing about it is the artwork, which the author isn't afraid to flaunt every other chapter.It's got an okay cast of character, you can get endeared to a few of them I guess, but besides the art, this one's just alright.I don't read Kaihen Wizards, only the first chapter. No idea about this one, but it's from the author of Kekkaishi, if that does anything for you. I dropped Kekkaishi at some point, don't remember much of it either.
>>287259774Bros... is this a deathflag?
>>287259484>hat wont fitcute!
>>287259277Imbued with whose power, do you suppose? Known or unknown?
>>287264215Unknown most likely, I can't think of any notable rami that have died in Papal territory and not had their powers used.Except for MiuraThough I doubt it, Pope didn't have time to return to the spire and pluck Miura's soul remnant thing from the tree during the uprising.
>>287264157No, its lifeflag. She won the Lucabowl and is going to pick one of those lives she lived with Luca by her side. Trust and believe.
Sex is confirmed Zoe is a perv
>>287259774If she spent a couple of those years in the mental world training then she's going to be absolutely busted.
>>287259672>Burnout Revenge on the PS2
I'm curious how Zoe will react when Pontiff tries to wear her mom's face?
>>287264709That's the worst part. She speedran character development right when we have to wait 3 whole months for the follow-up.
>>287264760It's sad but I get it. it was more of an arc. Rather than a single episode.
>>287264760July can't come soon enough.

>>287259347You didn't think that when you tooted a whole town into killing each other?
>>287259044Oof.
>>287259744They absolutely fucked in one of the timelines, right?
>>287265893Probably several, with her being timid at first until now she is the on on top riding Luca into the sunrise.
>>287259448>>287259464>kidnapping Lucas the day after he got recruited>he doesn't even know who she islmao, I really wonder how that timeline went before she became a gardener
>>287259464The sheer befuddlement of the pontiff is translated well through the mask
>>287266325He likely didn't need much convincing as all she had to do while dragging him off is say they won't be fighting anymore before he goes willingly.
>>287264140>story beats
>>287266541Getting the closest equivalent to Poppy being brutally maimed just now was a good story beat.
>>287261530I did so you should praise me anon! Something I found interesting about this is Lucas can actually object and while the Pope isn't gonna let him stop fighting, he can at least acknowledge Lucas' feelings unlike Alien Wife who could't even fathom that Kayano wouldn't want power and fame. Also to add onto the parallels, the Pope later tells Lucas he should enjoy things more fitting of the times they live in and Akira says something similar to Kayano after Southampton
>>287259769It looks like he got a pack arena for his show in the timeline shown at the end of >>287259495 at least
>>287266325I wish Zoe took me away
>>287259865Same sort of schedule as Mizukami's Saihate no Solte then. It's a depressing schedule as a reader.

>>287259204I guess Akira wouldn't be fooled even if he hadn't opened his mouth.
>>287259744im confused, where people expecting something different?
>>287268008I tought Zoe's trauma and stuff would get atleast 2 chapters this came pretty fast
>>287268094oh right, thats fair, im just saying, was anyone not expecting luca and zoe to get together
>>287265893...Anon, they got straight up married in one.
>>287260622I think Akira was just trying to be real with him knowing the damage was already done, hoping that might be enough to get him to at least follow orders. There wasn't any flowery words or speeches that would work now.
>>287260028No, you are right. I'm already preparing to miss Zoe, but I appreciate that no matter what happens a fully cognizant adult Zoe choose the path.
>>287268150The Coura fag has been uppity
Why did the manga get the black clover treatment, did it get cancelled?
>>287259744Dead next chapter
>>287259277The holy gatLoaded with meteor bullets
>>287263131>Bugle Call has a kino chapter>Break>Centuria has a kino chapter>Break
I think Lucas and Zoe are going to try saving Kayano after she begs them. Zoe will beg him and he'll reflect on the way he's been acting since Miura died.Then Akira will curbstomp the both of them and Pope will cast gun again.
Ok, I'll admit it, I teared up
>>287260025Well, I found out it's actually Luka/Ruka and not Lucas.Still like Lucas better, though.
>>287263131>Kaihen Wizards>Weekly releasehaha...
>>287267803Sorry, she's an adultadultwife now.
>>287259840Vamos
>>287260393>I see this sentiment everywhereI see this sentiment on every thread here but I'm pretty sure it is always just you schizoposting kek.
>>287268705It's a beautiful end for Zoe's arc. I'm genuinely impressed they could tie this up in one chapter.
>>287261112Same. I'm almost her age but still feel mentally stuck at like 10 years younger.
>>287259277Demi has to know about the gat right? She just chooses to not comment on it.
>>287259744the manga might end next chapter and it does not matter, for this is KINO
>>287264760>>287264900Most of her character development has was realizing her delusions were fake and that the pope is using her, which has been an ongoing process for multiple volumes.
>>287269463That's just the first step, it only put Zoe at the same level as any other prepubescent kid. Growing up to the point she can call Lucas a child is way bigger.
>>287268660It will be interesting to what Zoe thinks of her after getting nuked like 9 times lol.Also, why didn't her and julian go to some random tiny village on any timeline? I doubt Kayano is nuking every inch of the planet. They kept going to major cities.
>>287269641>julian
Zoe is probably going to die next chapter, ain't she.
>10/10 chapter >manga goes quarterly The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.....
>>287269641>Also, why didn't her and julian go to some random tiny village on any timeline?She was a shepherd in one timeline, and in some oriental country in another. I think that yes, total planetary colonisation by the druids is on the table. Maybe the fact that it always seems to happens after 2-ish years is just some foreshadowing about Kayano bringing down a meteor swarm to carpet the planet, maybe it's just a weird interaction between their two branches, maybe it's just so Zoe doesn't get a full lifetime anytime she chooses.
>>287269641>julain
>>287269746Maybe 2 years is the time needed for the Empire to conquer the Papal States then find Lucas and Zoe and bomb them
>in every timeline Zoe runs away with Lucas he agrees to it even when he doesn't understand what's going on>in every timeline where Lucas lives with Zoe she makes him so happy he forgets he wanted to be a musician save for the one where he succeeds at itZoe won the Lucasbowl so hard it's crazy>>287264709I figure Lucas told her what was going on in at least one of the timelines too which is gonna be interesting>>287263401Lucas groomed her into liking kids and now he has to take responsibility for it
>>287270042>in every timeline Zoe runs away with Lucas he agrees to it even when he doesn't understand what's going onWhat else can he do? Lady's bigger than him. She can probably manhandle (heheheheheh) Luca's small body without even using her power.
>>287270042>in every timeline where Lucas lives with Zoe she makes him so happy he forgets he wanted to be a musician save for the one where he succeeds at itLucas genuinely never wanted to be a musician out of love for music, it's just an escape.
I don't want to wait until July
>>287259204Imagine being that facsimile and realizing just how far out of your depth you are.
>>287259672>Poppy mad they took over her neet cavelmao get fucked in every timeline
>>287269665>>287269773Kek i was posting in both this thread and the Centuria one and had a brainfart
>>287259840I do, all in!!!
>>287264215I think he means that the gun can take powers, like the knife did. He's thinking, "if I cap this guy, they'd be down a ramus AND I'd have his power, but I need to save this to take Luca's power in an emergency."
>>287259840give me clappy zoe
>>287270959omedetou
>>287259276>>287259597It's that time of the quarter, then!
>>287269746It's likely the empire would still hunt them down even if they run. And instead of risking them escaping, they just drop a meteor on their general location.
>>287259840Gamer Zoe because seeing her mad is funny
What a great series.
>>2872590441st panel is me realizing I'm 26, not 20 anymore. What the fuck happened after Covid man...
>>287259277He has a literal Chekhov's gun kek>I need to save this for LucasYeah I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean that in a positive way...The Pope is a very interesting character because he's kind of a villain due to the way he's willing to manipulate and act against the characters we care about, but everything he does is justified in the end because the Empire really can't be allowed to win, which is the conclusion both Lucas and Zoe arrived to when both were thinking about leaving.
>>287260952What's a little girl getting transported alone into the middle of a continent where the papal states forces ran rampant? get raped and sold into slavery?
>>287259774From Lucas' point of view, she had been freaking out a few moments ago, passed out, and when she woke up she seemed more determined than ever and just went ahead and kissed him. Lucas will eventually wisen up to the fact that her time powers are at play here, but man was he ever thrown for a loop.
>>287271082Who does she main in tekken?
>>287271429She's mentally stunted, it's obviously Eddy
>>287262280agreed, Lucas ruined my loli
>>287271429Michelle Chang because she likes the arranged version of her stage music.>but that's Tekken 2Yeah?
>>287263813Zoe has just spent like 20 years with a beautiful blonde boy who doesn't age and falls in love with her over and over again. To say she has oneitis would be an understatement.
>>287271288I don't know about papal forces running rampant, they did just go through a coup and are making a last ditch effort while running on fumes. But regardless, no one in the main land will have any sympathy for the Garland, and I imagine her existence is fairly well known by now, maybe even her face. Getting isolated means certain death for her.
>>287259509Wait, did that fancy dress she wore at the party have an open back or am I seeing this wrong?
>>287271346Yeah I was thinking the same. His POV is fucking ridiculous in this chapter kek
People really think Zoe is gonna die soon? She might die near the very end but she has the plot armor/importance to live until the final chapter. Remember that her time travel powers still need to explain why Lucas flowered the first time.
Now that I think about it, Zoe won the Lucabowl ten times at this point, which makes this a dynasty. I don't think a girl has won so hard as her.
>>287272090You're seeing it wrong, there's a fabric along the back that ends halfway along her shoulder blade. The line's just kind of faint.
>>287259840Who dares wins. >>287264331>imbue a 1911 with Miura's power>.45ACP becomes .45ACP+PLOL.
>>287272163>Remember that her time travel powers still need to explain why Lucas flowered the first time.???
>>287259840GIMME FARMER ZOE YOU SON OF A BITCH
>>287259840Rollan
>>287272363All the predictions were thrown off by this whisper Lucas was able to hear. It had to be time travel related because it fucked every single prediction futurists on both sides had.
>>287272503Also, my personal theory is that Zoe wants to save the Garland because she sees in the Garland herself (forced to fight/etc), and that's why the outcome of the battle was them both living. She wanted to save everyone and made the outcome that would do so. Otherwise the voice could have just had Lucas as the winner and Garland dead, but the outcome was specifically manipulated so both live.
>>287259744>>287259774>groomer has become the groomedBased? I don't think I've ever seen this dynamic before.Amazing chapter tho.>>287259840Rolling for cute supportive gf (clapping) Zoe!
>>287259661Arabic culture? isn't the fighting zone the area between Britian and Italy?
>>287272503I don't remember this being a thing at all but cool. Zoebros have a chance even though I like Coura too.
>>287272503I had forgotten about that.Man that is some SnK shit kek
>>287272163It was explained this episode. Character like Akira and in my opinion the Pope are aware of Zoe doing this weird... alternate timeline simulation thing. When Lucas flowers in Mount Tombe, he sees a vision of one of the lives with Zoe, and says he heard a voice. He was clearly influenced by these and that's why he Flowered.
>>287272581They have two years, plenty of time to travel to the orient.
>>287272561I wonder how the world turned out on the outcomes where the Garland dies. Does the empire just lose or do they pull some bullshit?
>>287272594Wish us Couranons luck
>>287272658and yet garland can land her meteor there even though it is out of the rami zone?
>>287272654No, Zoe has only been doing simulations in her own head, as explained here >>287259103 (where she is actually on the mountain and everything and Akira explains to her for whatever reason). The actual influencing of the past has yet to be done.
>>287272752Once the Empire wins, remember that the druids plan to expand over the entire world. They can probably do it with control over all the other towers + slowly expanding with each strike. They also probably have Demi's power taken at that point so they can find them no matter what.
>>287272752It is probably the tower we haven't heard about yet. Might honestly be near Spain, remember the Moors and all that.
>>287272314Oh shit, I hadn't consider that the shell on the grip might be Hexed branch
>>287259840Rollin
>>287273102Wood craftsman Zoe isn't bad but let's roll again
>>287272503Reread that part. It already happened this chapter. What Lucas felt was a bit of one of the timelines with Zoe until they die. That's what made him Flower. It's not completely in her head because Akira was aware so the simulations do really touch their "souls" or something like that.
Guys I just simulated this timeline and Zoe lives trust me
>>287273344I trust you anon, 100%
>>287273292>the simulations do really touch their "souls" or something like thatPerhaps this is true for tree beings like Akira and pontiff and for sapling candidates, but "normal" branched and regular people don't seem to have awareness.
>>287273413That's why Lucas felt some vague thing instead of being aware of what happened. But I'm 100% sure this is what made him Flower. You can tell because he sees a vision of one of the lives shown in this chapter.
Did Zoe look at a future with Miura and Demi?
>>287273292What pages are you using as proof? Akira in real life is completely unaware. The Akira in the simulation just realized what was happening right away (because Akira would have understood too). In fact, that Akira is explicitly saying these visions are only simulations and have no bearing on the actual future.
>>287271346Lucas is gonna have to come to terms with the fact that his sisterwife(younger) is now his sisterwife(older)>>287259697The match cut from the garland meteor into Zoe flowering is pure cinema
>>287272314The author should have made the gun be a Beretta M9Though I don't think the countries that sent the towers to Italy, England, etc are actually future Italy and England (IIRC the Empire's tower is heavily hinted to have been sent by Japan, as it was said to have been sent by "a distant island nation" or something like that and the ramus have Japanese names), so I guess it doesn't matter.
>>287273621If these are just "visions" then why is Akira or Lucas self aware at all? These cease to be visions and just turn onto alternate timelines.
>>287273292That could add up but only if Zoe budded a little in that moment too.
>>287273344Does best girl live?
>>287273724If you want to think of simulations as alternative timelines, you can. Everything in the simulation is exactly like they would be if it actually happened. This is not a new sci-fi concept.
>>287274297Also, the reason why Lucas and Akira act the way they do is because they had the knowledge at the time to grasp the potential situation. Akira has some knowledge about how Zoe's power works because he can use predictions too. He saw that Zoe started acting weird, realized it's probably her trying to find a different future, then just gives up because that's how he would react if he was in a simulation. The Lucas that told her to keep simulating probably doesn't know he's in a simulation like Akira does.
>>287273875I mean that moment is also the first time she acted like this
>>287274386See, this is what makes him Flower. The simulations.
>>287259672Man, the Empire reaaaaly hates/fears Lucas. Nuked every single time.
>>287274428Some of that bled into reality and influenced him
>>287274386Then her power is probably still more complex than what we're seeing now, especially if her dissociative psyche started to influence it at some point.
>>287274458To be fair, it's a logical decision for them to nuke Luca and Zoe given the latters' abilities.
>>287274458Akira has to have seen countless timelines where the empire gets BTFO'd by those two
>>287259774Enjoyable chap. After Oscar, I don't even question Zoe's weird simulation power.
>>287274465It's explicitly a voice that gives him these visions and thoughts though. Zoe doesn't have that power alone. You're assuming that there's some consciousness transfer that is nowhere explained nor implied in this chapter.
>>287274632The voice he hears is the voice of Zoe telling him to go far away with her, which echoes the exact thoughts he has upon hearing said voice.
>>287274465>>287274563Their abilities must be linkedThe way their abilities have been described with certain terms and the whole ayyylmao thing now I'm completely certain there is more going onThe mirror battle was the first time I started thinking about it
>>287274661But they aren't the exact same thoughts. It's a similar but different vision that the ones Zoe had. And you're still inferring an ability/side effect that is nowhere stated or implied.
>>287274693>>287274661>>287274479>>287273724It's chapter 25 if anyone else wants to chime in on the discussion.
>>287274693Their abilities are the most druidic of everyone besides Kayano and in a way they surpass the empire's current abilities. Zoe being able to see simulations, her incredible strength and durability even by branch standards, and Luca being able to empathy wash, mass control others, and leave bits of himself behind without all of the consensus boards and brainwashing chairs that the empire uses. And finally Kayano is the critical piece who calls the druids down to colonize earth from space. I can believe their abilities/fates are entertwined, but we won't get the full explanation until Kayano joins the party because Kayano is the third piece. Akira knows and he was honest when he said he wanted to adopt them all.
>>287275004Akira and pope get married? Scorned wheelchair wife will seek revenge?
>>287274004She becomes a top tier wheelchair racer satisfying her innate desire for conquest and victory>>287274365It makes sense sim!Lucas understood enough to point her the right way seeing how quick on the uptake he can be.>>287274428Given Zoe powering up here throws Akira's predictions out of wack it could be we still haven't seen the full extent of her powers, but another thought is she was starting to simulate the future midfight but couldn't conciously control it yet
>>287275097>Given Zoe powering up here throws Akira's predictions out of wack it could be we still haven't seen the full extent of her powers, but another thought is she was starting to simulate the future midfight but couldn't conciously control it yetIn my opinion her simulations of the past touched the real timeline. Too much of a coincidence that Lucas hears the voice specifically at the same time that Zoe calls out to him in this chapter, and that he specifically ponders about running away with her, and we see one of their simulations.
>>287269325Demi wouldn't know what it is, right? She probably just thinks it's a really weird piece of jewellery or something. Which, being worn by the man who has a giant whistle for a head, isn't really something to bat an eye at.
>>287264099The Saintly Shooter
Will Lucas adapt to the new adult Zoe or will he get the ick from her being a hag in body AND mind now?Very good chappy, I am in awe of this series and how much of a joy it is to read.
