I'm not convinced this isn't just Axeman using weasel words again. Not being able to understand the thoughts of others doesn't mean he can't hear them. Maybe it's more explicit in Japanese, but this just seems like Axeman dancing around the subject as he loves to do.

it was always too on the nose with everyone going "Oh my god, he can read minds!" in the manga, that it couldn't have been true.
>>
>>290190264
Makes sense. Anya can read Damian's mind but she has no clue what he's saying half the time. Granted, she is retarded.
>>
>>290190297
Nah, even if he can't read minds, he's definitely trying. His Frankenstein monster scars aren't just decoration.
>>
>>290190344
yes, trying, but wasn't successful.
>>
>>290190264
Yeah, it's the typical vague answer bullshit.
Could easily be:
>Coma man: I'm scared, I don't want to die, it's dark, etc.
>Final boss: Is that really what a man like him is thinking in his final moments?
>I can't understand. (his whining)
>Why are other people so fucking weird.
>>
>>290190297
Calm down, anon. I could not give less of a shit about Desmond. I just know Axeman and he hates giving straight answers.
Maybe he can't read minds, maybe he can but sucks at it. Maybe he's just as good as Anya but is a total autist and can't make sense of other people. It's hard to say right now.

>>
>>290190490
Unlikely. Shipfags enjoy love triangles because it leads to jealousy and love epiphanies.
>>
>>290190344
He does come off as particularly frustrated at a general inability to understand other people perfectly. I wonder if Anya and her mom were naturally born with that ability and the experiments were done to recreate that artificially. Desmond and Surjay were both involved in them, but it looks like there's more credence to the theory that Desmond is a good guy after all if he's talking about Surjay possibly resenting him for something in the past. There's a chance it's because he forced Surjay to do unethical experiments, but Surjay is the one who has the stray thought that resembled Anya's original name spelling.
Nothing revealed but a lot to play around with.
>>
>>290190511
actually the thoughts she freaked out over was the guy that was with Donovan, and it was because it was related to the research that resulted in her telepathy

Isn't she also one year younger than the other kids? So she would grow comparatively quicker

>>290190535
Not in the modern day. Axeman even asked an idol who shipped DamiAnya if he should give them a love triangle and she refused, even when he tried insisting on it.

>>290190612
No, because people find it annoying on its face.

Ok now it doesn’t make any sense. If his wife believed he could read minds and he was able to predict what Demetrius was going to say wouldn't it be possible he is a new form of telepath able to know the truth? I feel the author is hinting that Donovan is not the real final boss and he is just a small fry in a much bigger scheme.

Desmond can read minds, just not as clearly as Anya. The words will not come into his head, he'll just know what you feel in more general terms

I think base on his age, he could be a prototype while Anna was the latest model. Prototype is flawed while the new model is more advance.

Point is that he'll still have grounds for paranoia, he won't know *exactly* which gives more stress and creates that feeling of "failure to understand others"

What are the chances Donovan is just an antisocial autist and the scars are from the war?

>>290191315
>>290191490
In Surjay's thoughts in the original, he thinks "......ニアに......を..." In Japanese, Ostania is read as オスタニア and Anya is written and read as アーニャ, so he's seemingly referring to Ostania here since they're written distinctly from each other.
>>
>>290191662
Desmond is a cold reader, if he could read minds then Loid would have been caught when they met.
Instead Loid came across with the body language of someone who wants something from Desmond which is what he probably reads from most people he meets.

>>290192458
I'd 100% be on this except for the Damian's mom chapters, where she schizos out when picking him up
Donovan definitely has something more than simple autism.

Egg on my face for expecting something exciting to happen I guess. You win Axeman, you bastard.
>>
>>290193052
But the question remains why WISE is so fixated on determining if he plans to start another war. He didn't start the last one but instead ended it, and he and his party are the opposition to the party currently in power. But so far he really hasn't done anything and has mostly minded his own business. Even Surjay was the one who called him in to visit the previous prime minister.
>>
>>290193054
Well yeah, the fact he has driven his family to secrecy despite wishing to know everyones beliefs is ironic

>>290193133
>heh, good job Twilight, you convinced the SSS that you are in love with Yor by actually being in love with her... for the mission
>>
>>290193133
I like that the only thing everyone agrees with on this arc is that nothing happened. Unfortunate after how good things have been.
>>
I don't think they'll duplicate ESP powers in this series. Bond has clairvoyance and Anya has current mind reading, IF the big boss has psychic powers it would probably be a different form like
>telekinesis
>telepathy
>memory reading
>dream projection
>implanting false memories
or some shit
>>
>>290193281
What if that is bullshit reason that WISE gave Twilight just so he would be fully on board, and the real reason is they want Donovan's telepath tech? That would be funny since Twilight already has Anya and now just wasting his time ona all this bullshit.
>>
>>290193281
All WISE knows about him is that he's part of the party that started the war and that he was PM for the majority of it. They also won't have a good faith view of his role in the war like Damian.

The Nationalist Party is the pro peach with the west. They are the ones in power right now. The Unification Party is the pro war.
>>
>>290192847
my hot take. Anya is a brainswapped alien with amnesia. the easteros researchers only managed to create soldiers who can block or resist psyker attacks from the real aliens. aliens are controlling the cold war from with both east/west govs.
>>
I still don't care about any of the Desmonds and would rather see less of all of them.
Nothing much happened since nothing is actually confirmed, but this time the usual vagueness from Axeman wasn't boring imo. Background details and getting some actual dialog from Desmond is alright.
>>
>>290192945
Yuri will be a great father.
>>
>>290193281
WISE has intel on the incumbent government, but not on the secretive opposition. That is why Twilight receiving a long term mission is strange, it might be years before he gathers any relevant data.
It's why I subscribe to the theory it was Sylvia who pulled strings to put Twilight on the mission, so he would settle down in domestic life and could get to be happy as a reward for his service.
>>
Desmond can see the future. He can't read minds He's just acting in accordance to his visions casuing people to freak out

Basically how I feel. I guess I wasn't especially excited about any of this which helps with not being disappointed. We did at least meet a few new characters that will presumably be important later. Maybe. I am beginning to think those scientists in Anya and Bond's flashbacks were throwaway placeholder characters like the assassins in the Garden introduction, and we're never going to see any of them again on panel ever again.

AGHHHHHHHH
>>
>>290194056
It's just all too ambiguous. The "confirmation" that Donovan can't read minds is about as solid as the "confirmation" that he ever could in the first place. We still know fuck all about him.
Anya showing more overt trauma is nice, though, since evidence of that has been somewhere between subtle and non-existent since very early. It's not new information, but it's good to see. Makes her feel more human.
>>
>>290194356
At first, but then extremely sexually.
>>
From what I understood everyone that got into those experiments got a different power.
Maybe Donovan got a power like telekinisis and hates the fact that he can't get telepathy like that "one girl". Even future sight like bond would feel pretty useless when compared to how telepathy is so awesome in general
>>

Wow anon ,my hot take was only that Anya and her mom were members of the old royal family.
>>
>>290194056
The problem with chapters/arcs like this is that it's all stuff for the future or even worse it's a one off that won't get mentioned again. On top of that it's all still really vague. Don't give readers answers and let them speculate for what will probably be another year or two until it gets mentioned again.

Anya doesn't deal with consequences of her adventures. Doesn't change either. And the most interesting stuff about these adventures is not her.
Whatever she does she goes back to being Anya when it's done, which is currently a rather flanderized version of her old self that is just overtly rude and curt all the time.
Like now that this chapter is over it's back to Anya's regularly scheduled scooby doo school chapters I don't want to read.

If Axeman actually wanted to do something good with Anya he wouldn't drop this trauma that showed up at the end of today's chapter. Bring it up right away. Have her think some more about this moment.
But you and I both know that this moment is basically window dressing that will be dropped right away. A moment of weakness that is shown to look good, but doesn't go anywhere. Because Anya and status quo go hand in hand.

>>290190566
Anya isn’t a character that would potentially be receptive towards other boys (because she doesn’t care about that shit) so they wouldn’t be mad. If it were the other way around however, you’d see shippers shitting themselves over the girl since Damian is aware of girls at least. Then again, his status always has him on edge with people trying to get close to him so that might quell shippers anyhow.
>>
>>290190264
I get it, except he was also wondering if the former hospital director really invited him with no ulterior motives. Surely if he could read minds he wouldn't be at such a loss regarding that?
>>
>>290192475
So much for that potential connection then. Would have been neat if Anya's original name was taken from the country's name.

What if Damian will be the one with psychic powers instead of his dad?

I think he's just a more capable mind reader. He knows when he's being read, and can mislead them in his thoughts.
That, or he can just detect lies in speech or something.

What about her is flanderized? She's been rude to people around her own age from the start of her going to school.

Anya can only read surface thoughts the moment they're occurring. If Donovan is a telepath, he may have the same weakness. Surjay also seems to be aware of Donovan's research so he could know to hide any ulterior motives.

She's always been acting the way that she does since the first chapter.

She's four. She's been shown as being polite when she needs to be or when she wants to be (which is most of the time that she's on screen.) Whenever she's being rude is because she's in a hurry/being impatient or because she's frustrated or annoyed by people around her. Exactly how a stereotypical 4 year old acts

Is the author just allergic to advancing the plot? Even this cliffhanger turned out to be a giant tease.
>>
>>290190144
This chapter is a bit too vague for me. It's a shame it got cut short with Yor finding Anya. I wanted to hear more of Desmonds thoughts to figure more about him.
>>
>>290196970
She's at least 5 (the author noted as much a few volumes ago), but your point stands.
>>
>>290197060
I think it is more that the plot gets advanced in ways we don't expect. In this chapter we get some level of confirmation that Donovan is not what Melinda fears he is, plus some nice bonding between Yor and Anya. Anya also gets to stretch her telepathy beyond what she normally does.

Early Anya used to be more of an actual child, and her parents did more parenting so to speak. The Anya that tinkered with Twilight's tools and got kidnapped, or the Anya that wanted to sneak into Loid and Yor's rooms while she was playing pretend is gone. No more teaching and boundary moments like that happened. After saving the drowning boy in the pool the parental moments got put on ice too. Like over time Axeman started showing the domestic stuff less and the reader is just supposed to assume it gets done. So Anya comes off as a roomate that can't feed herself than their kid.
Anya lost her interest in Assassin and Spy stuff, also Bondman, in favor of drawing reaction faces for her because the "Heh" blew up.

In addition during that Henderson scandal arc we get that rare moment of parenting from Twilight because Anya acted like a kid and asked a real question someone her age would ask. But something like that shouldn't be a rare moment.

That sort of indifference she has because she lost that wonder of wanting to know more is why she's flanderized. Axeman squandered her study arc hard too. It ended and she went back to being drawn with those big oval eyes and not caring about much.
>>
>>290197060
Stuff only advances if Yor is involved. Unironically. Like her arcs end and they get mentioned again right away because that's now a part of her character.
>>
>>290196970
Nta but Anya has definitely been flanderized. She used to act a lot more like an actual child with more realistic responses to situations and obvious trauma for what she had been through. She was also written in a way that emphasized her cuteness and innocence over everything else. She was funny, but she was funny in cute ways. She was also allowed to be interesting opposed to just making funny faces all the time.
The Anya of this arc is the closest we've had to old Anya in years and I hope to god Axeman keeps her, but I understand anon's fears that we're going back to gag character Anya after this.

Yor is too powerful

>>290197690
>with more realistic responses to situations and obvious trauma for what she had been through.

Anon, the first chapter had a man get shot in the head in front of her and it led to no trauma beyond the initial fear.
>>
>>290197458
no, it's just Axeman projecting nip medical care onto 1960s East Germany
>>
>>290187019
Franky is so lucky.
>>
>>290197832
It's fiction, anon. It's not going to be perfectly realistic. That's why I said MORE realistic. Compare Anya in the Bond arc to Anya in the bus arc, which had similar stakes on a personal level. You could also look at how cartoonish she was in the scandal arc, but that's not an entirely fair comparison.
>>
>>290196489
It's still possible because of the way she used to spell it, but even the scientist from the first flashback called her アーニャ verbally, so her name is spoken distinctly from the way Ostania is said. Axeman would have to retcon it to Anya mishearing it as that instead of アニア if he wanted that ambiguity.

Lloyd is literally working for an enemy government. The things he and WISE are hinking, feeling are not exactly without bias.

The author clearly doesn't know what he's going to do with the story so he can't show any solid hints.

Yor is just a bad gag character.

So uh are there horrible scars under Anya's silly horns????

>>290193949
No, his post was about how WISE could be putting up a pretense with how much they know and what they told Loid about Donovan to get him onboard with Strix, which is designed for him to enter Donovan's inner circle long term. CIA did documented research of crazy occult shit all the time, so WISE sending blind soldier Twilight over to sniff out proof of mind reading as an ulterior motive isn't so farfetched.
>>
>>290198559
>The author clearly doesn't know what he's going to do with the story so he can't show any solid hints.

I disagree. The fact that the former director of Loid's hospital got mentioned so long ago and now has appeared as an actual character points to the author having some long term plans. Same with the Authens. He's just going very slow with the reveals.
>>
>>290189633
>>290189709
I'm now going with the theory that he USED to be a natural mind reader, and had it removed, opposite to Anya.
>>
>>290195112
Whoa hey spoiler please
>>
>>290195112
I look like this and do this

>>290198559
Not that guy, and the last 3? chapters are definitely a nothingburger, but I won't go as far as to say he doesn't know where to direct this story. He probably comes up with whatever on the spot, but he probably does have a general idea of where it should go. We see this from how he builds narrative significance through mundane details in each chapter.

The real problem is the pacing. It's hard to notice, but the anime makes it more clear(at least for me). The story is being stretched thin. 2/3 of season 2 was like the cruise arc. You can argue the SSS party could have been 2 chapters too. Still, I think this slow pacing is also part of the appeal for me, but when I say this I don't think it really says much about the quality of the story being improved because it's stretched out, just that it's good that it's drawn out so I can zone out and turn my brain off while reading/watching.
>>
>>290198251
how the fuck did you post in the wrong thread twice
>>
>>290196807
Yes, the way she asks makes it clear that it's not normal for her to sleep where Yor does. But the only time Anya got to briefly snuggle up to Loid was when he was dead tired, and he immediately woke up and knocked her off the sofa.

>>290199072
Cruise arc was barely six episodes, and the rest of it was haphazardly slapped together filler. In fact, that's exactly why people say that the anime pacing is terrible, which is a separate issue from the thin story.

>>290193463
Too based, Axeman would never commit to making WISE or Westalis the real villains.

I could never get past the first few eps of the show and all the "when will they fuck?!" posts don't inspire confidence.
How close is the manga to ending?
