Chapter 72.1 tomorrow 12pm JST>Title: Behold the marked>Summary: Three years ago, amidst a fierce battle, what became of the Nanasu? And on the train bound for Higo, what thoughts are weighing on Her mind…!?OH SHIT ARE WE GETTING TRAIN GIRL POV?
Also I guess people missed it since the window was so short (preorders ended yesterday) but last week Eeo Store had Choujin X merch
>possible pov switch to herHighest contender for V16 cover (alongside Azuma for the 3rd time kek)
Wait... pov switch already? we are not going to see what happened in those three years in Azuma flashback?
>>287517079No because "The matters up until March 2003" was a duology: 70 was the "Front Half" while 71 was the "Back Half"
>>287516542>Title: Behold the marked>Chapter 1's title was "Behold the man"Either it's talking about the girl meeting Ely who got the Mark from Batista, or we're about to witness another Sora humiliation episode
Dragon-chan reveal this chapter, this time for real!
>>287517117
BRING ME KEKKIO!
>>287518324What? You do not love Azuma looking at him and Tokio having a "the boys are back" moment in this war only to basicallt go "yeah so these 3 years passed by fast"?
>>287518412Here comes Tokio 2003!
What does she even DO?
Train-kun... nyo...
>>287518726Expired in 1997
>>287518726Sexual relief for the new Witch of Yamato.
>mid x
Chappy day
>kaugrabitchi are so insecure that they have to spam their dogshit manga in other threads.What a bunch of cucks
>>287518726she uhhhhhhh carves apples I guess>>287520604retarded newfag
>>287517079We'll probably be going back and forth>In the future we'll see Ely vent to Azuma that she still can't believe Tokio could've done "that">Azuma nods but privately wonders if "that" might have been the correct decision even if it caused the "thing" to happen
>>287521798it looks like "Tokio" has finally "arrived"
>>287521798Do you think we will switch now to Ely pov and then for Tokio pov? Ishida always reserve Tokio for the last. At least in the last timeskip.
>>287520390my main problem is just that i don't really care for the current artstyle
>>287520390kgbfags are always forcing consolewars
>they think it's a kgbfaghow new are you retards>>287522085same, Ishida just doesn't mesh with digital very well
>>287520390get some new material, micro tool
>>287522050Since we still haven't seen 2003 Tokio I feel like he is saving his appearance for a special scene
>>287520390Come on dude just let them have their thread. Are you trying to get your whole country rangebanned?
>>287522262he's just samefagging
https://desuarchive.org/a/search/filename/mid%20x/
So make your last bets, who is the girl on a train?I think she's a member of Sandek's family
>>287524532The real heroine.
>>287522050We're switching to Train Girl pov not to Ely. If Tokio shows up it will be from this outsider's pov
Stop making threads about this manga... This is your last warning...
>>287525789What are you gonna do?Did it fuck your sister?
>>287524532>I think she's a member of Sandek's familyCould be. She reminds me of Batista.
Also stop giving attention to the shitposter (former jjkfag btw). At the very best, just report him for shitting up the thread.
>>287526873he wasn't a jjkfag, he's just a shitposterhe used to compare cx to csm
>>287526846>Sandek is too OP to leave alive or he will solo the gueltans but gravity is too cool to just ditch outright>introduce another younger and weaker member of the family insteadMight be cool
>>287517005Can we please get a prolonged Tokio pov? I really liked the first few chapters and I don't to get another time skip where tokio gets character development off acreen
>>287527268sorry anon, but Ishida REALLY wants to keep Tokio's pv a secret
>>287527268We just got a very eerie glance at how casually inhuman Tokio is becoming by getting accustomed to slaughter, Ishida won't reveal how much he has changed 2.5 years later so fast.
>>287527741>slaughterthey're just mindless drones
>>287527741And thats what I dont like all this development should be on-screen in real time, he is supposed to be the protagonist
>>287527812crazy how the only point of view we really know at this point from the main trio is Azuma's, Tokio and Ely are still largely a mystery
>>287527812Ishida really likes to offscreen parts of the development and hint at them later, makes you use your imagination a bit. Worked wonderfully during the first timeskip when Tokio reveals how much he has changed during his fight with Palma.
soon
>>28753010913there better be FUCKING sex
>>287526873>picrelYou think she ever got her shit rocked or was she crusty to the end
>>287530311lesbian sex with Sora when she felt freaky maybeI don't think my penis could be less erect after hearing her talk for like 5 minutes, so probably no such luck with men
ELY SEXO
so much sex fuck

>>287531008
>>287531024
>>287531048
>>287531016I'm glad the anons that kept saying that sora's retard squad would join YM were wrong

>>287531096KILLA QUEEM
>>287531064they've betrayed zora. even though she's ded.
>>287531123uh done
If a guy with built-in guns gets beaten by a boxing stand then he was never gonna make it.Still, I love that the same villains keep coming back.
>>287531016>Enter II Guelta's newest employee, Jing! No really, he is with II Guelta nowIs the retard trio actually retarded? Do they realize they're working for their deaths? What do they think's gonna happen after they kill Ely?
>>287531123>Aruru got SHADOW boxing powers>Her uncle knew TokioBros... Shadowl might've been her uncle...
>>287531024Jingbros... how could it be... are we the designated jobber again?
>>287530953Finally, Tokio's real wife is here.Ely is the final boss.Palma will die for dramatic effect.
>>287531188yeah, you're probably right
>>287531188>>287531209>knewWait fuckThat means the urn...
>>287531259>>287530870She mentions to Twinkle Toes over there inside the urn is SALT. So Vanya got him
I think Ishida is in a very chinese moment of his life
>>287530801his momdad was 280cm
>>287531332
>>287531395that was from going chaos
>>287531186i wonder if it's all three of them, Jing and Tawashi, or just Jing, it'd be interesting if I.C. sided with YM, he'd fight his former comrade.
>>287530742>Tokio: See guys! Good thing Ely has it! No issues are gonna come out of that!Even Azuma is getting sick and tired of prophecy meetings btw
>>287531463>Even Azuma is getting sick and tired of prophecy meetings btwHey Azuma also dug his own grave on this shitshowHe should've stopped Ely's schizoscheming and fucked her brains out already, yet here we are
SHADOWL BROS NOI CANNOT ACCEPT THIS
>>287531526It's Shadowlver...
>>287531538Sandek is still alive btw, Aruru wonders if Tokio being the strongest means he's stronger that DIRECTOR Sandek
>>287531096>>287531123>scream aieeeee save me niggerman>he actually appears
>>287531621kek
>>287531332damn
>>287531538Shadowari da
>>287531423I think it's leading for at least Tawashi to appear to fight Koemori (Twinkle Toes)
>>287532167maybe Igor's the only one to turn a new leaf, he could be a good counter to Vanya.
>>287532246Nah doubt Jing right now is pulling the same shit as before but now with a train like how comically Michael jinxed >>287519150Enjoy having him return just to job to Tokio (who comes in to save Aruru and Koemori) yet again
>>287530742Thx

>>287532770Flat chests and small boobs are hot plus she is so SO small you can probably do any position you can imagine with her. Ely is breedable anon, those are facts
>>287532453Many thanks for the TL anon!Very obvious that her ability is literal shadow boxing, but I'm curious what Jing and Arles are saying on the last page - that seems to be missing too
so how old is shadow girl and how is she gonna get a crush on tokio
>>287532872I am NOT palma btw
>>287532849>I'm curious what Jing and Arles are saying on the last page - that seems to be missing tooYou might wanna look at the last post again real carefully.
>>287532442>A Choujin even Instructor Higashi calls the strongestInteresting that Azuma appears to have left the frontlines to serve as both Ely's righthand and a well-respected instructor for Choujin-in-training, while Tokio's still at the frontlines>As far as I'm aware,>He's the strongest Choujin in Nanasu.And fully conquered his inferiority complex to Tokio while at it, nice
>>287532442>A Choujin even Instructor Higashi calls the strongest...>Well... If he has even of 70% of Instructor Higashi's skill...>I suppose that could live up to the rumors...Oh... oh no... Tokio's gonna make a terrible first impression isn't he?
>>287531463>Even Azuma is getting sick and tired of prophecy meetingsyeah... prophecy "meetings" with Elyguess she has a lot of stress to pump with the mark
>>287533230>Oh... oh no... Tokio's gonna make a terrible first impression isn't he?He's ENTERING with 2 casts now
>>287532872New girl is going go be a fusion between Urie and Mutsuki
>>287533230The only person he's made a good first impression on is Palma and that's never going to change.
>>287533230>>287533366As much as I like funny bird moments I think it's due for a badass moment for tokio, specially considering we're on the last part as a sign the cycle is starting to change for the better
>>287533549>>287533290>>287533230This is an evident truth.

>>287532410>—It resembled a disease.He really went full reference with the title and the "It's something of an affliciton" and the Ely "dominated" by the Mark/chaos form resembles the Tokio's page.
>>287530830Ishida is getting mindbroken by Jack Jeanne, this is yet another shoujo as fuck pairing.
Jesus Christ just take an infinite hiatus at this point.
>>287531400His body already had to fight off Xember "infection" and he went Chaos in the Tower. We know from the headless and the Silk Garden that it already fucked up his body so such side effects aren't really surprising.
>>287531024SORYA
This setting is fascinating. Who the fuck makes TRAINS with an emergency evacuation system that SHOOTS THE PASSENGERS INTO THE SKY?
>>287518726I prefer her current role
>>287520390stick to /wsj/ fag
>>287532442>The Black Bird of Mourning.>The Reaper of the Battlefield...
>>287533901Ishida got bored drawing the same uniform over and over, please understand. If you want same uniforms always and forever, Tougen Anki has you covered.
>>287532442>The Reaper of the Battlefield...Ruh-roh, this doesn't bode well for Tokio if he fully adopted the Reaper persona. You think that Ely sent him some fresh shadowussy to bring back some of his (pervy) humanity?>uncle>has shadow powersSo her uncle is Shadowl? We know that clans with similar/same powers exist, so...
>>287533901Because we always only had access to a single country within the setting and we always knew the setting is vibrant and weird as fuck. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest it's as chaotic as the world with superhumans should be. The war also forced several provinces to unite so their cultures now blend together.
>>287534094War is good!
>>287533901Cause it looks cool? Other than the stupid shirts Tokio sometimes wears Ishida has a good sense of fashion
>>287534077>So her uncle is Shadowl? We know that clans with similar/same powers exist, so...Either Shadowl or the kot from 01 squad. Since she was compared to a kitty in this chapter and her stand has cat ears, it's possible too.
>>287534023I am convinced that CX is the result of the advice that Togashi gave Ishida
>>287534077>You think that Ely sent him some fresh shadowussy to bring back some of his (pervy) humanity?Anon... Aruru is not the only one Ely sent to him... also she's on the flatter side
>>287534077Ishida's definitely playing into the Grim Reaper thing. Caroll called Tokio the Grim Reaper earlier and it stuck it looks like, and I.C. called Zora smrt, which is a slavic (such as Serb) form of Grim Reaper.So he's just like mom!
>>287534121>also she's on the flatter sideBeing flat automatically sisterzones Aruru and she looks a lot like his sister in the first place
>>287532503Thanks for the translation, Anon!>>287533146They probably saved each other so much on the frontlines that any bad blood between them was fixed. And from what we saw in the series, Tokio is really the lone warrior with berserk mode, while Azuma is actually a great and caring leader, who focuses more on protection and commanding. So their roles in 2003 make sense.
>>287534125>So he's just like mom!Not to mention that he's basically the only one left that is defending her.Please Ishida, we need Young Sora Tulpa to fix the untapped potential of the Rize tulpa in TG
>>287534023For some reason it feels like we shifted into the AOT world.A war going on,everyone suddenly dressing completely differently,the old cast taking up serious positions, advancement in technology.However I don't think it's Tokio who is in his "insane from power" genocidal phase
>>287534107Possible, but Shadowl trained Tokio which would make sense that he would feel pride from Tokio's accomplishments.
>>287534128>putting sister look-alike near Tokio to constantly tug his protective instinctsThat would truly be either a genius move to bring back his human side or absolute dick move to constantly remind him of what he couldn't protect....
>>287530992Jingbros! we are alive!
>>287534168>Tokio, you must rape eighty million gueltan civilians to death>no no, there’s no other way I saw it in a dream
>>287530830right page, left side of the bottom panel, reading newspaperLiterally the old guy from Ajin, lmao>>287533937
>>287534184This reminds me about one of the plot points from 86 where they assigned little girls to squads as some sort of daughter/sister figures in order to make fighters even more desperate and protective.
>>287530992>not even II-Guelta couldn't save his hairline with the iron hair implantsGrim....
>>287534198>everybody mistranslated/misunderstood the title>it was RAEPER all along
What antagonists from the first half would actually protect their homeland, and who will defect?I think Ice is 100% on Yamato's side.
>>287530992Holy 6-head>>287531048this is really fun idea. It makes sense to have something this crazy as a safety measure when Queem already advanced the world's technology so much and there are choujin fighting everywhere.>>287531123BLACK PANTHER
>>287531123So that's it? the chapter ends here? fuck
Guys how can we shoehorn Arles into somehow being Hinako please guys I need this
>>287534240Bucket needs to do something
>>287534173Roja trained Tokio. Shadowl trained Ely
>>287534272Reanimated corpseClone with fake memoriesAlternate timeline Hinako actually came out of the Tower-WombChoose your explanation!
>>287534240Bucket and probably Hume (unless Yubiko was THAT charismatic). That's it
Aruru's personality even reminds me of Kinako. Fuck, Ely is cruel.
>Get Choujin X powers>Only use for prophecy>Name doesn't even get brought up on the strongest Choujin listEly bros...
I don't want Tawashi to be with Guelta. Neither Jing, but I truly believe that Ely is believing her own prophecies right now and making the same thing that Sora did back in the day and that's why new YM is using them again. Also>"It's a point of pride for even me."That line reminds me so much of Sato. He was never satisfied with Tokio and always thought he was soft. Even If Sato is his uncle, I would never think he's dead, is probably another psyop just like this war. Anyways it will probably be Shadowl... or not.
>>287534347I don't think she got anything from the Mark but prophetic powers. She is not a legit candidate after all.
>>287534358Palma will eat Ely, demonstrating her worth as the alpha fem.
So ages for only the characters we know are alive so far as of March 2003>The Trio are 21>Sandek is 44>>287534369Palma is irrelevant>Jing is 32
>>287534369Palma with the Mark sounds like the biggest disaster that can hit the setting, she's like Marcille with the lion in Dungeon Meshi.
It's a shame if Shadowl is dead, dude was very fun and likeable.
>>287531062>>287531123The costume design is inconsistent
>>287531123Could she beat kira?
>>287534720If she's just a straightforward brawler, no. If her stand rules are more relaxed (for example the damage doesn't transfer to the user), then maybe.
>3 years>they still haven't realized Azuma is a Queem Copy
>>287534933The funny thing is that BB suspected something before her death.
>>287534975>Shadowl might've overheard Vanya trying to find out if Azuma is Queem Copy>Coincidentally, he's now most likely the dead uncle via VanyaHMMMM
>>287530953ENTER, THE REAPER OF THE BATTLEFIELD, THE BLACK BIRD OF MOURNING, THE STRONGEST CHOUJIN IN NANASU, THE CHOUJIN WHO HAS SURPASSED EVEN SANDEKTOKIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KUROHARAAAAAAAAAAAA RAAAAAAHHHH
Ishida is really hyping up Tokio forma 2003
>>287535289he will still the same goofyball that he was in 1999 but a little bit more unhinged
>>287534240They're calling him the right-hand man of the Battlefield Reaper and the second strongest Choujin in Nanasu, the illustrious Hume of the Smoke-which-advents-the-coming-of-Death,
>>287535309>goofball with his friends>a force of nature on the battlefieldSounds like a good balance
>>287535289remember his return from training timeskip
How can Tokio realistically become stronger than Sandek? Choujin slayer feathers?
>>287535289Soon
One of the coolest parts of this arc is that it has completely humanized Azuma, a soulless clone of the choujin of war, while making a Grim Reaper out of Tokio.
>>287536495Where is the original of this from?
>>287531463To be fair, we don’t know if Tokio would’ve done a better job if he got the Mark. It’s kinda hard to mentally prepare yourself for seeing the future
How do the three wise monkeys relate to our protagonists?
>>287536775I also found it funny that there is sometimes a fourth monkey that holds its genitals and I instantly thought of Palma
>>287536796Sekiro had a fourth monkey too, wonder if that's some japanese thing.
>>287536775>See no evil: Azuma can’t see the evil he was created for>Speak no evil: Tokio doesn’t speak of others’ evil>Hear no evil: Ely doesn’t hear the perspectives of those she deems evil (Batista’s the exception ig)
>>287533983honestly the biweekly schedule doesn't work for Ishida, he should really go back to having an inconsistent schedule like the beginning, would work wonders for his art
>>287532442I swear to God if that dragon is still alive and Tokio is still fighting him i will riot
>>287536926>an inconsistent schedule like the beginningThe schedule wasn't as inconsistent as you think it was, especially after chapter 4. Dude was churning them>1: May 10 2021>2: June 29 2021 (5.5 weeks)>3: July 15 2021 (almost 4 weeks)>4: July 19 2021 (4 days)>5: July 28 2021 (9 days)>6: Aug 6 2021 (9 days)Pic related are just V2 chapter release dates. He was pretty consistent
>>287533146>>287534132>They probably saved each other so much on the frontlines that any bad blood between them was fixed.More like that shit ended way back in chapter 43 in this page and people only realize that now
>>287537678>he still didn't wipe since that time
We are 165 pages into the V16. Aruru is likely on her way to cuck Sato out of this cover as well (can't wait to see Koemori do the same kek)
>>287533819I expect Aruru to meet him as some sort of goofy hobo and only realize who he is once he wipes out an entire gueltan platoon singlehandedly.
>>287536495>inb4 he will use his wings as a cloak again
Tokio can't be so strong If they have been stuck in a war for 3 years
>>287538830Dragon-chan still mogs him
>>287538830Sora was stuck in a conflict for 3 years too and she had the powers of an X.
>>287538837And Sniper-kun forced Azuma to retire. Makes you wonder how shit Nanasu is. And Sandek is still a joke it seems.
>>287538852She was too busy finding the beast. She didn't wanted a direct confrontation with YM.
>>287538813Would make sense since this was the start of his reaper problem.Bonus points for actually already using opium or laced cigarettes.
>>287530742Nice callback
I wonder if Tokio finally started eating corpses. Vultures have one hell of a hax in nature and if it translated to choujin abilities he should be able to replenish his energy this way. Not like he fights real humans, they are just Queem drones.
>>287539068Yeah, you just know that Ishida can't wait to introduce the cannibalism and madness related to it.
How strong can tokio really be if he only has high physical stats? Honesty azuma seems stronger.
>>287539510Aruru please... Tokio got a Choujin Slayer. That's enough of a game changer
>>287539633>That's enough of a game changer...Not for Dragon-chan
>>287538931there is no opium anymore
>>287538931>laced cigarettes.Bro jobs at light cigs (14mg tar is considered light) and he left his dad's pack behind at the grave. He's not smoking shit
>>287539510>can fly and talk with birds which makes him one of the best scouts>by far one of the strongest choujins physically we've seen even before the last timeskip, could punch through several mountain sized golems, also knows Arima tier autism-fu>has iron feathers he can use to obscure his movements or deal damage in a range>has choujin slayer, one of the most busted powers in the entire setting>can control his Chaos which likely puts him in 1% of the top tier combat choujinsAzuma is a team player, he is way stronger when he supports others than when he fights alone
>>287539737Sato already prepared beforehand and there is synthetic opium distributed as raise-helping drug for choujins. For higher ethics of course.I mean- they can literally make a turbo raiser and have multiple samples of megavaxx, making a synthetic drugs should be easy. Especially during war and martial law declared.>>287539827Smoking kills. And now that he's the REAPER incarnate, he does everything that kills, thus he smokes like a chimney.Trust me, my father is Ishida's sister.
>>287540184Don't forget the illusion powers (like against I.C. in the Tower) and even his raising can decimate enemies around him, as seen with the zombies (same thing BB did). He could also raise multiple times in a very short time, which was strange even for the beast choujins. At least until the timeskip.Guy is a beast (heh), especially when going solo so he doesn't have to care about friendly fire with his harpes.
>H-Hey guys.... I used to be the strongest™ remember? Hahaha..... h-hey guys! I'm talking... Hey! Don't forget me!>God I miss Mado so god damn much...
>>287539510Azuma is probably very afraid to go berserk again desu. And he's Ely dog.
Enough about Tokio, how do you think this guy's faring?
>>287540686I hope he's okay. I really want him to become stronger. He was under Sato and in Nowaki so I suppose he improved over the years. We will see.
>>287540540Sandek would be extremely proud to have a student even stronger than him. Dude is all about positivity and self improvement.
>>287540686He's just a team player who constantly tries to go for solo heroics and eats shit because of it.
>Must have at least 70% of Azuma's strength to get her approvalCan you do it anon?
>>287540880Sorry, she is too flat for me.
>>287540880She is going to get a crush on him when Tokio shows he is stronger than Azuma
>>287540743I wish he would improve wifi in my area....
>>287540959She already has a potential pairing, no need to turn Tokio into a harem protagonist.
do you think Nari joined guelta 2?
Who else here choued up on they jin right now? on X we all finna be choued up on the jin.
>>287540686The Solo King of Choujin X (forma fraud)He's got the most death flags right now imo.Either he is a traitor working under Sato and that's why he didn't do the thumb goodbye because he feels guilty, or he knows Sato is a traitor and is secretly working against Sato, gathering information on the low and setting shit up for our heroes to take advantage of in the future.I feel like Simon is a good guy who will go out sacrificing himself and he knows that he will probably die so he couldn't make himself do the pact with the others.
>>287541269Never say its going to be a harem, could be something like Tooru and Kaneki
Where is Palma in 2003?
I feel like Hume is going to become a good guy and become one of Tokio's allies. He's got that feeling, like Tsukiyama.
>>287541575Hume is more tied to Ely than to Tokio tho
>>287541659Hume is tied to the bed and milked by Yubiko tho'
>>287541522I hope she's with Tokio as a nurse.
>>287541575I think it might happen if Tokio GII is taken down, then maybe Ely went nuts trying to genocide other countries.What would Tokio rouge squad look like? I hope Ice is in it
>>287542463Palma, Nude, Mike and Michael are a given. I think Ice has the highest chance to back him up as well because he always respected him.Hume is a complete wild card, he could be a bridge between both sides if he managed to tame Yubiko.
>>287541575>I feel like Hume is going to become a good guy and become one of Tokio's allies. He's got that feeling, like Tsukiyama.I hope they give him a glowup like Ishida's seem to other characters hereMaybe he looks younger with age like Jotaro
>>287541522Who cares?
>>287541522>>287541903She's likely a nurse and will contrast with Tokio's death incarnate persona (maybe like an angel idk)>>287543486(This anon has recently been treated for hemorrhoids by Palma btw)
>>287543486You do judging by the fact you keep spamming this shit.
>>287542942>NudeI wonder how is he doing. At this point it's cruel to keep him ''alive''.
Is he still swimming?
>>287543716>I wonder how is he doing. At this point it's cruel to keep him ''alive''.I mean, he's a zombie just like Tokio, Azuma, the retard trio and Hume
>>287543716I wonder how would Tokio react if Nude asked for perma-death from him?I'm pretty sure that pre-tower raid Tokio would do it and then break down. He was contemplating the reaper allegations, Sora conundrum and already saw how cruel it was to keep Nude alive since the poppy field raid.
Tooo many questions to answer aaaah. I wanna know I wanna know already Ishida just drop the heavy shit already.
>>287543847The only real zombie that you mentioned there is Nude anon. The rest are simple Choujin... and a clone.
>>287543878You WILL get 20 more flashback chapters before Tokio's arrival anon
>>287543799Ishida hasn’t decided yet
>>287543909>The only real zombie that you mentioned there is Nude anon. The rest are simple Choujin... and a clone.I meant it as they all are 1 character losing powers away from death, and thus are tied to them regardless (Ely, Palma)
>>287539510Tokio's never only had high physical stats; his bird abilities have casually imitated other abilities. Like his feathers can turn iron, which is absolutely not a bird ability, but an iron-blend ability. And then you have the Choujin blades, which just literally is not any sort of bird ability.We were also discussing this in a previous thread where Tokio potentially warps causality to make it so someone (him or a target of his choosing) so damage they just took is undone and teleports them to a target location. Which is fucking crazy.
>>287543799he got sunk by his armor and drowned
>>287530786What if the Urn is for use for an ability, and isn't just something heavy and cumbersome she's casually carrying onto a battlefield like a weird dipshit? Like since she's a "Shadow Choujin," perhaps she can make Shadows of others, such as her uncle. If her uncle is Shadowl (or even just a similar Choujin), perhaps she can even temporarily summon dead people as shadow clones.
>>287544209>If her uncle is Shadowl (or even just a similar Choujin), perhaps she can even temporarily summon dead people as shadow clones.That would mean Shadowl's persona is a nigga tho, which is uh, I don't know
>>287544322I mean it's flexible where it can also summon dead people, or just create/manipulate shadows normally to create your own JoJo OC.
>>287544209All that talk about urns and shadows reminds me of Kagewani. Damn, that was a fun little anime.
>>287541903>>287543612>nurse>angelThis is a succubus.
>>287544209>Ely sent her to copy/store Tokio's shadow to retain that powerful asset in some wayUh... bros? I'm starting to feel like Tokio may soon be grave in danger...
>>287544414>Uh... bros? I'm starting to feel like Tokio may soon be grave in danger...Anon I don't think Palma is letting Tokio die, like, anytime soon
Ely succumbed to the prophecies btw. Typical of Ely being a complete hypocrite I mean
>>287539510Based AzumaGOD, tokio would NOT survive a nuke.
>>287545125I know azuma is way stronger now but I dont think he can nuke someone unless he is in chaos mode.
>>287530972Tawashi is in the bathroom, just you watch. She's too retarded to even think on her own so of course she's tagging along with Jing. It's going to turn into pissboy vs Tawashi, and kitty vs Jing the ultimate jobber (above even Simon tier)
>>287543799Having no clue what direction to swim having been disoriented by his flight, he accidentally swam around the entire world. Very understandable mistake.
>>287543612>She's likely a nurse and will contrast with Tokio's death incarnate persona (maybe like an angel idk)Four leads are four horsemen, Tokio is literally called a Reaper now, Azuma is War and Ely's power is called Harvest and she's a depriver (so Famine), this leaves Palma for Conquest/Pestilence
>>287546057>Tawashi is in the bathroom, just you watch. She's too retarded to even think on her own so of course she's tagging along with Jing. It's going to turn into pissboy vs Tawashi, and kitty vs Jing the ultimate jobber (above even Simon tier)where is nari tho
>>287546435in the bdsm dungeon until sato can let her loose on ely
>>287546459>in the bdsm dungeon until sato can let her loose on elyb-but the cycle
I'm really happy the setting gets more and more batshit, it does feel like a weirdo modern fantasy world a la final fantasy 8 at this point
>>287546526Palma's outfit sort of looks like Tifa's.
>>287546666we haven't seen Palma del 2003 tho yet
>French name>French word for East (est) on her back>Is Higashi Azuma's (East East) biggest fangirl
Besides JoJo, we also got a Fist of the North Star reference. Guess Ishida's on a huge muscle men kick.
So if Ely got introduced to Azuma by tokio and they got feelings for each other and now Aruru is being introduced to tokio by Azuma....
>>287547154That's just Bruce Lee reference. She probably learned kung fu watching his movies.
>>287547182Nah no way, Aruru has smaller tits than Ely. She does look a lot like his sister though which will probably trigger both regret and protectiveness.
>>287530786>>287530972Wonder if the frequent focus on birds flying alongside the train has anything to do with Tokio. Maybe he finally managed to expand his bird information network significantly in some way.
>>287530761>Azuma has a four-leaf clover belt buckle>>287530830Girl has an obvious Spade on her clothing, past and present>>287530850>Twink has a Clubs or 3 leaf clover belt buckle>>287530972>Tokio is referred to as the Ace.Alright so besides Azuma's not fitting the theme at all, guess we're getting a Hearts and Diamond soon.
Aruru or Arles?
Just when are you gonna reveal him as the real villain Ishida? Jesuschrist I want to confirm it aaaaagh. We all know Hag Queem is a psyop! And I wanna know his real plan! fuck
>>287541575tsukiyama never became a good guy and didn't deserve a happy endingalong with most of TG's characters for that matter, which is what essentially makes that manga dogshit when it comes down to itfuck you
>>287548375My prediction is he is a queem clone but "good" like Azuma, it will just turn out he has a really twisted morality. Remember how "good guy" azuma was breaking criminals arms for minor crimes at the beginning of the manga? Sato just never had a tokio to correct that.
>>287548375I would really prefer if he actually was in a morally gray territory and not a villain outright.
>>287548146>Tokio actually knows everything that happens around because he runs a bakery in his spare time just to feed the birds
>>287548375>filenameDid you also get hung up on that just like Azuma?
could Aruru battle Yubiko?
>>287548878Probably, Yubiko was kind of shit tier when you come down to it.>Barely beat Azuma who could barely control his powers and she had to go chaos to do it while he stayed in baby mode>Went chaos against Bucket and couldn't even scratch him who again didn't need to do anything special
>>287548878Sounds like a terrible matchup for Aruru unless there's more to her power than just a shadow double. Yubiko can literally outspam her.
Tokio would still lose to bucket btw.
>>287548267>シャルルSharuru or Charles?
>>287518726Be my (tokio) wife.What more could you ask for?
>>287548655Ghouls don’t follow lower ethics
>>287549094There's absolutely more to it. Shadowl is/was a "Dark" choujin and could create dark energy weapons, as well as could use darkness to move extremely quickly. Ishida even responded "mystery" to a person on Twitter who brought it up. She has an extremely flexible ability and is called a 'shadow choujin, not something specific like a 'shadow boxer choujin', or how the 'package choujin' was extremely specific. Ririka is also extremely flexible with her powers, and hers and Arles might even work the same if the shadow takes on the abilities of what it imitates.
>>287547128So are the chains on not Killer Queem also because she's into her teacher?
>>287551458One day when she was rummaging through Azuma's personal toilet, she discovered he shat out a chain and has treasured it ever since.
>>287552244The image of Azuma startled by the loud clinking noise after his ass creates a pile of chains that hits the bottom of the bowl, realizes there's no way it'll flush & rushes out without even trying to fish it out - then his fangirl somehow breaking into the male bathroom and finding that chain (and proudly hooking it around her stand) is absolutely sending me
