A summary on what happened in the war. Going from June 2000
>Summer-Fall 2000: Resources were prioritized to the frontlines because of the war being long scale. Citizens discontent
>Winter 2000: A special pharmaceutical unit that does drugs to help with the frontlines. Palma has joined as a researcher (she finally got a job!)
>End of Year 2000: Higo did a nothingburger
>January 2001: People are tired
>April 2001: Nowaki got in trouble with Sato's command being what got Nanasu to not lose the prefecture. In classic fashion Simon and Momo jobbed and got injured
>May 2001: Sato calls Azuma to help his ass in Nowaki, leaving Tokio to take the brunt in Higo (all according to Sato keikaku)
>June-July 2001: Sato and Azuma manage to stabilize Nowaki
>August 2001: Azuma is relocated to Yamato instead of Higo to help out Sandek and Ely with the battle strategy (his tactical prowess was renouned)
>September 2001: Shadowl is killed in a surprise attack from Vanya
>October 2001: Arulu joins the Elite Selected Trainees (EST) and trains under Azuma
>rest of the year: Nagamata and Yamato's forces joins as one
>December 2001: Ely keeps some prophecies to herself
>Throughout 2002: Yamato training new blood
>September 2002: Azuma tells Arulu she's to go to the front

Yeah, Tokio does all the heavy lifting at the frontline. So much that they got his BF flustered over others trying to take him on.
But Azuma really fits the leadership/strategist/trainer position more than the frontline one. No wonder he's the Queem's favourite CopySon with how he handles stuff

Even Sora abused the power of Mark during the war against Queem, how insanely strong Tokio is going to be once he finally accepts it?
He's basically Antitise with a potential to grow into X.
>>
>>288811869
>once he finally accepts it?
he's not gonna get the Mark
>>
>>288811869
He didn't get the mark, and he is better for it. However, he is clearly misguided about Ely being the better choice.
>>
>>288813250
Exactly, she's already going schizo >>288811527
No way that those prophecies aren't important in the long run
>>
>>288812067
The Beast will get the Mark. He's the only winged Beast in the series. It will probably happen right during a final battle though
>>
>>288815539
most prophecies in this series don't come true
>>
wtf bump
>>
>>288811869
My bet is he either won't ever get the mark, or it'll be at the very end. My logic for it is entirely meta, because it'd be boring to have him get the mark and then it goes 'finally the spoiler prophecy will be fulfilled' instead of leaving it unknown.

I've been predicting for a while that each the 3 main characters will find their own way to Choujin X status, and Ely's just happened to be Sora's mark.

It was interesting collecting all the tracks Ishida lists. Not sure what his obsession with TV Drama OSTs is; none of the tracks he uses from them sound all that great to me.

I'm surprised Arulu is still weaker than pre timeskip Simon. She is extremely competent judging by her fight with Jing.

>>288819110
Simon is one of the top 5 strongest choujin in yamato mori
>>
>>288817115
I think he will get it midway through final battle, basically when he needs to nuke whatever the Calamity is, at the very end of the manga. Hopefully with enough time left to flex with whatever powers he will gain from it.

Arulu!

The setup for the post-Sora status quo is by far the most interesting but I'm really not feeling the characters. I also found the Tower raid really slow sometimes. I wish the manga focused more on character drama, it's the best at that like that one Azuma chapter or the Batista chapters. The fights are cool too but the MCs are too powerful vs 99% of their opponents and there's not enough drama to make up for this unbalance..

I do wonder why Vanya chose to kill Shadowl of all people, I mean sure he was a leader of Nagamata, but she didn't kill the other leaders aside from Mogoth, Gomos, and Dashiro(the first of which was the old Nagamata leader and the other two were Higo leaders and Dashiro only was the leader for a tiny bit before Vanya sent him to join Gomos), but she didn't try to kill Frogar or Elma/Erma?

>Wowsy, already done-in!

>If I remake the nodes as I am now, I should be able to get bit more data.

>But my budget to make a new model has...
>I'll cover it.

>I'll pass a message along to Nomnimer.
>Mah evaluation is gonna skyrocket!
>I'mma get a bonus fo' sure.
>Thank you.

>How d'you rewind dis video?
>With R2.

>>288823895
>...Who're these guys?

>Choujin that were on the train.
>I believe reinforcements from Yamato.
>Hmmm.

>By the by, this dude do any crazy move after this?
>No, nothing.

>Hrm. They're pretty young.
>And just the two of 'em?

>>288823933
>These two
>seem like they got something more to 'em.

>Unlike the stingy Ubrega
>Rabin pays well.

>sfx: it's a fucking dragon sneezing fire

>So!!


>>288823954
>How'd it go!
>The money!
>Box: Zora's Child. Insectification Choujin. Minami Tawashi

>Nomnimer's going to secure a production like for me.
>What is that outfit?
>You're getting Nom to make new Jings, huh!
>It's Maison Guelta's new line, duh!

>...What are you reading?
>In that.

>Heehee!


>>288824020
>Obviously some goddamn plastic surgeries!!
>Oh, that again...

>I don't get it.
>Getting your eyelids sewn, stuffing cartilage in your nose.
>What's so good about that?

>Dumbass! It's to get popular with hunks, duh!
>You also do modding all the time!
>For me it's out of necessity.
>>
>>288824032
>For us choujins
>the surgery cost plus drugs to stop regeneration cost a tooooon! Look!
>It's 5 million
>for just the double blepharoplasty, right?

>To think it's not just weapons and medical care,
>but to think they've even developed a cosmetic surgery culture for Choujin.
>Guelta is a bizarre nation.

>You're going to blow all your hard-earnings on plastic surgery
>Who cares, it's fun!
>And these are expenses, so you don't get any.
>Gimme!

>...Tawashi.
>Do you know the point of us being in Guelta?


>>288824049
>I do know, snotface!
>To get new hearts from Cream, huh!

>Queem.

>The lives of Zora Children are...
>linked to the life and death of Mama Zora.

>...But, Mama Zora is dead.
>Due to the mark being stolen (bold),
>the "soul chain" was relinked to that woman.


>>288824070
>The ninja, huh.
>I know she called herself a thief,
>but she's some mega thief for stealing Mama's mark.

>But wasn't Queem Mama's enemy?
>He really gonna give us hearts?
>The point where we can negotiate is already better than Yamato.
>We just have to butter him up.

>I'll protect my hide on my own.
>I won't be a dog of Yamato.

>Looks like Ice thinks differently, though!

>He always was hard-headed.


>>288824094
>...So,
>Where are you modifying next?
>Mh?!

>Well of course...
>MY FREAKING TITS!!
>Boob job, boob job!

>Ah, that sounds like it'd be around 50 million.
>Consider your living expenses before plastic surgery.
>Gettin' me some huge tiddies before a heart!!

>Higo Outpost Base

>>288824153
>I'm Arles Shant.
>It's nice to meet you.
>sfx BIG FUCKING CLAPS

>I'm Koemori Rhetoric.
>But please, call me Retty.
I can't believe Ishida actually named him Rhetoric.
>I look forward to working with you, brothers.

>With the bladed winds of the blue sky descending southward across heaven and earth—
>drink up and sing out.
>Yes, captain!

>Being welcomed so grandly like this
>makes me feel like I've become a star.
>How about going right on to become a star in the sky, then.


>>288824176
>N-Nice to meet you, Shant!
>I'm Gonzales, single and searching!
>This is the battlefield but rest assured I'll protect you with my life!
>I'm rumored to be the strongest after the captain, y'know!
>I'm the devoted type to the lady I love!!

>Gonza you fuck, don't go makin' moves ahead of me!
>Begone, evil and foul spirits!
>That ain't fair!!
>Die!

>Hide, my little Shant!!
>All of these guys are lower than pigs!!
>Baldy.
>The fuck you say?!
>Pedo.

>Bring it on, pigs, I'll slaughter you all!
>Try me, fuckface!


>>288824195
>Is that going to be alright, captain?
>Take this, my dashing technique!!
>Is that move...?!
>Yeah, that's right...
>sfx: tsch
>If I had to say,
>I'd say not at all.

>Alright dipshits, take it outside!!
>>
>>288824206
>Tch... the vice commander's scarier than an oni when pissed.
>Ah well, let's go outside, Shant.
>Only you dipshits are going outside, dumbass!

>Let's settle the score.

>Sorry about that, Shant.
>They've fought so much their brains melted away.
>Is... Is it always like this?


>>288824221
>You okay, Koemori?

>Rubens.
>Yes, captain.
>Help pack up later.

>Yes, sir.

>Prep a boat, too.

>Higo Outpost Base
>First Defense Outpost

>>288824238
>Are you okay, Arles...?
>Don't push yourself too hard...
>It'll come back to bite you...
>Yes, I'm fine.

>I do roadwork every day
(Roadwork is boxing term).

>C'mon, run, pony, run.

>Urg...
>20km run first thing in the morning...

>>288824250
>Here will do, I suppose.

>Kurohara.
>Just so you know,
>my knees are already
>completely out of commission.
>Oh, okay...
>That's a problem.

>At least build up your stamina. Your body is what's gotta pull through for you when it counts.
>Like when running away.

>Is this part of our recruit training?
>While it's also that,

>I wanted to asked a bunch of things.

>I have some questions for you.
>They're stock questions so it might be a bit boring but—
>>
>>288824115
This gang of scoundrels are supposed to be good guys?Also it feels like after the timeskip we get more time screen of the new bad guys than the protagonists, shouldn't they be more...
mysterious?
>>
>>288824263
>What do you two consider
>"good" and "evil"?

>Oh, that.
>The "newcomer questions".

>"Good" is
>doing what one must do...

>Protecting the weak, and taking down the evil.


>>288824277
>"Evil" is to steal.
>And slacking.
>Yes, slacking is no good at all...
>I firmly agree.

>I see.
>And you, Retty?

>"Good" and "evil", huh...
>I've never really thought about it before...
>Huh?

>Don't tell me he's never undergone keeper training...
>"Good" is
>Being kind to people.

>>288824306
>"Evil" is...
>Violence!

>Suppose so.

>What are your "comrades" and "enemy"?

>My "comrades" are those who face against evil together...
>And my "enemy" is...at present, Ⅱ Guelta.


>>288824330
>My "comrades" are my pals back home.
>And my dad and mom who raised me.
>And grandma...
>Of course my deceased grandpa.
>And my pet dog.
>Can I count my hamster, too?
>Sure.

>"Enemy", huh... That's a difficult question.
>I have nothing off the top of my head.

>Well, I guess someone better looking than me?
>There fundamentally aren't any, though...

>Got it.

>Then, lastly—

>>288824348
>What is your "dream"?

>It's not "benefit"?

>My dream...


>>288824364
>I want to be a musician.

>Why's that?

>Why, you ask...
>Quite the question, Kurohara...
>Well asked.

>It's a...bit of an embarrassing episode to say...

>To begin with, I...
>come from a rural background.
>>
>>288824377
>As there's nothing to do besides farmwork,
>I spent my time singing and playing the guitar to my heart's content.
>song: Love won't start 'til ya dig it up
>song: us covered in mud, covered in scrapes, we were just like the shaking potato
>Hey Retty, shut the hell up!
>Get to work, deadbeat!

>But somewhere deep down in my heart, I felt like I didn't belong anywhere at all.
>This isn't where I belong.

>Then, on one night...
>Bobby Samaran appeared in my dream.
>Bobby Samaran...?

>Bobby said this to me.
>Retty, you...
>Will become Nanasu's star...
>Yer gonna do somethin' totally incredible...


>>288824396
>"The people in every prefecture will know you..."
>"But,"
>"If this doesn't come to pass, you will die before 27"...he said.

>Glory, or death.
>Naturally, there was only one path to take.

>I stuffed my bag with all tat I could,
>and guitar on my back,
>with only that in tow
>I boarded a train bound for Yamato.

>Thus,
>So this is Yamato.


>>288824415
>immediately after arriving at Yamato,
>a plane fell on me.

>Of course, I died.
>I still wasn't a choujin at the time, you see.
>In all likelihood, my body became more goopy than slime after being played with by a kid for 5 hours...

>>288824441
>And so, in my dying moments,
>It was Bobby Samaran who appeared before me.

>I could hardly be blamed for complaining.
>Hey, Bobbyy...
>Isn't the time frame to do "something incredible" just a bit too short...?!

>Bobby,
>without speaking a word,
>simply pointed at the sky.

>>288824461
>Bobby...
>What in the world is this...?
>And upon waking up...
>>288824461
>I was without a single wound,
>Nor pants.
>my guitar in pieces...

>And to fill the gap of music,
>war had started—

>That's why I
>want to end this war right away.
>I want to heal
>the hearts of the wounded people with music.
>>
>>288824497
>That's my dream.

>I see...

>Too long.

>But it's a good dream.

>And you, Shant?
>So it was too long...

>A dream...
>...My dream is


>>288824516
>I suppose to...
>kill a certain choujin.

>It's not me, right?
>You're going to die before 27, aren't you?

>I see.
>Yeah.

>That might've been good
>to include in the "enemy" question.

>Then, assuming you kill the guy,
>what do you want to do "after that"?

>>288824532
>It doesn't have to be anything big.
>Something y'know, with a happier feel.

>Like read the final volume of your favorite manga.
>Or wanting to see Monami's gravure pictures again...

>Do I
>need one?

>>288824550
>It's not like not having a dream creates any problems.
>Do we even have the luxury to have dreams in our current state?

>Oh, I'm sorry...
>Nah, it's fine.
>It's pretty common.

>But even just a "temporary" one will do.
>Having one will make things a bit easier on you.
>Even if it's just a mirage in the desert
>it still gives you a reason to keep moving forward, right?

>>288824556
>We've gotten to know each other a little bit.
>Alright, let's get packing.

>...Packing?

>Yeah.

>The three of us are going to Moge.

This concludes the chapter of a million words.

I don't view that as "sex" I view her as cute. This is sex.

He's still going for the Sora Q&A, huh?

>>288827536
The questionnaire does probably mean more Tokio than it would to others, because it helped him realize things about himself. Like how he doesn't have a dream, and if he has the right to have a dream. If he were answer the questions himself now, all of his answers would be completely different.

>side cutout so deep she may as well be wearing a naked apron, visible armpits
>no bra, fat sweaty tits barely covered by a layer of thin fabric

Because CHADowl actually managed to bypass her attacks and land a (normally) killing move on her.
Can't have such a cool character running around, can we?
>>
>>288826157
They were normal choujins, the war just changed them a little.
>>
Tokio's squad is so based. They're all going to die.
>>
>>288826187
Thank you, TLAnon.
>>288827148
Always knew he wouldn't betray Yamato
>>
>>288827595
I'm honestly surprised Tokio won the respect of such an unruly and violent gang. All of them are probably as much of dorks as Gonzales
>>
>>288827649
It doesn't really look like Tokio's doing anything, rather it's the vice-captain tardwrangling the squad

>>288826126
Arent choujin practically worshipped as demi-gods in Guelta? How insufferable is she to deal with that she needs to get all these surgeries to get a hot boyfriend inspite of this?
>>
>>288827715
>a boyfriend
Her dream is a harem of gachimuchi men. And to become god.
>>
>>288823954
There's my girl Tawashi!
>>
>>288827787
>Jing can literally create a harem of body "builders"
>she's too dense to notice
The fact he sticks with her despite her batshit personality means he likes her at least to some extent
