I liked it. Rael and Rajak got some much-needed character development, with Rai coming in and being cool as usual. We also get to see how much Regis has grown (not in height though :teehee). We...

Yes, Luffy will surely mimic the King's Punch somehow. He wants to be the Pirate King, so he will definitely want to have a King's Punch. He will 100% try to do a King's Punch at some point, this...

I liked that chapter, it had some of the daily life stuff going on again. Plus it had Rai and the banana :teehee.

For the poll choice, I put 'other' because my choice is 'I have no clue, and...

I'm almost sure there will be some connection with Rebecca and Kyros, the legendary gladiator. I'm not quite sure what it'll be, but something like:

- She'll meet him in this arc
- She'll meet a...

Ohhhhh man, great chapter! I love reading this series because I'm just reading a so-so chapter, which starts to ramp up into a huge dramatic climax where...!!! ... Karias is just pouting that he...

Yeah, that's precisely what I thought when I re-read the chapter. It would be nice if that part of the plot moved forward instead of everything with the kids going back to square one. The kids...

Personally, I'm hoping for this tournament to devolve into a total mess. A true battle royale! Where there are no blocks, no rules, the factory's blowing up, the Marines try to step in,...

Maybe it's... a one-piece! :3c

The last page in this chapter of Naruto looks pretty similar to what Noblesse already did a few chapters ago... -_-;

Not saying Naruto...

Ah, I forgot: There have been a few other exceptions to the "character-in-distress" becoming a crew member. Like you mentioned, Coby; although Zoro was also in need of help, and joined the crew. ...

Hmm, if Sabo turned out to be a villain... I think that would be a little too much like Tobi from Naruto.

Thanks for the info, Kaiten.

I expect Rebecca's role in this arc to be similar to Kinemon's in Punk Hazard, or Shirahoshi's in Fishman Island. Essentially, she's the character in the arc who...

It would be cool if she used a variety of weapons, sort-of like Erza from Fairy Tail. But I only saw Rebecca carrying a sword. Maybe she has special armor? (Regardless, I think we can expect her...

@Sproumfch But it seems like the top gladiators aren't on the same level as the New World fighters that have gathered specifically to get Ace's fruit. For example, Spartan was taken out in one...

Makes me wonder if Don Chinjao announced Luffy's identity to the whole crowd, or if just a few people such as Cavendish overheard.

Absolutely right, hence why I said it was just a wish :)



Good point, but the existing threads were very specific. Plus, the bulk of the discussion I've seen is in the chapter discussion...

I've seen all sorts of ideas and discussion about Rebecca, so perhaps you could all post and discuss them here.

Anyway... we don't really have much info on her to go off of, but that's never...

Well... even after tons of trouble getting it, if a stranger (who Luffy thought was a good guy) said "I want to eat that fruit," then Luffy would probably say "Okay." That's his personality, hahaha.

I'm not really sold on it either, haha. I'll keep the faith with One Piece, since it's generally unpredictable and manages to entertain. But I'm kinda over the huge focus on devil fruit abilities,...

Not a bad chapter. Had some explanation along with some character development. Still waiting on things like M21 hearing about the werewolf lady, or Franky telling the others his theory of what...

Since this is One Piece, I'd expect some silly character to get it accidentally. Like, I could see the doll (the one helping Franky) end up eating it somehow...

Maybe since the old lord wanted to spare his daughter the fate of being the new lord, he only gave her half. And then entrusted the second half to Rai, as proof to all the clan leaders that he...

Which is why I always appreciate each chapter of Noblesse, because they are making a story and characters that interest me more than the most popular, most well-financed series. In fact, I look...

I agree, except I distinctly remember reading an SBS where Oda plainly says that yes, One Piece is a physical object. So, not just the true history. But likely an object that has something to do...

I'm not sure what Doflamingo's past is, but I'm pretty sure Vergo wasn't the only Marine who was secretly working for him. I expect there are a lot of others working for him too, like maybe CP0.

I'm pretty sure Barto is stronger than Bellamy.

But I could see Barto dropping out for some crazy reason of his own, allowing Bellamy to advance. Then maybe Barto would go and fight one of the...

I think back when One Piece started (the first few chapters), the focus was on the romantic idea of an adventure at sea. And so I suspect "One Piece" likely referred to going on a whirlwind...

The first pic is showing the design on the back of his jacket. The second pic is showing the tattoo on his chest.

^ I guess I read a different translation (I usually look at translations along with the raw, haha). But no, of course Rai's not stupid, and if he thought others would be put in danger while he was...

^ True, and thanks for the info about the coffin. But when Urokai asked Rai why he went along with their plan to eliminate him, Rai replied it was because Urokai wished it. Rai has no problem...

From the latest chapters (untranslated), it looks like Edan's released. And all the bounty hunters are gathered, under the command of the old guy with the pony tails, who works for Janus. Enzu just...

I read through the full review, and I can understand where the rating comes from. Personally, I'd put it at average. But perhaps the places where artwork is lacking, as well as panels being...

Thanks for the review as always. But wow, pretty harsh at 2/5. I didn't mind the chapter, I figured it was nice to have a little down time after all the battles.

Yeah, the end of the chapter is supposed to be Rai putting on a front that he's just fine, since he doesn't want Frankenstein to worry.

---

So I've been wondering for a while now... Is the old...

This was a chapter that totally delivered on all fronts.

5/5 from me for sure! I don't really understand what would substantially lower the ranking to a 4? Even them turning into red stardust...

Funny... I really wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being true, haha.

Probably so, but the possibility is there.

Not that I believe anyone could ever beat Rai, no one can even scratch him. But if Frankenstein's form once completely taken over by the Dark Spear is...

A fantastic chapter to end the fights. Makes me want to stand up and applaud or something after reading it. :super

One big question I have now: Franky was worried he might harm Rai if his Dark...

This chapter illustrates why we don't need "The Death Of Rai" in Noblesse. The sad parts in Noblesse come not from a main character dying. They come from the gentle, kind-hearted protagonist giving...

Like Sarex said, besides Ichigo and Kenpachi, I'd go with Ishida.

You know what? I wouldn't mind if the gladiator Rebecca turned out to be Vivi in disguise for some reason, haha :derp

Noblesse kicks ass. That is all.

The true villain is (I think).......

no one.

Almost every bad character in Naruto ends up coming around somehow, or having some sort of understandable reason + change of heart. And besides...

@strixflash I didn't think of that, I was under the impression Rai had always been alone, until Franky. But maybe not, maybe he gave power to someone and they abused it. I could see that happening.

(Let's move on about the last page, please. It's not that big a deal :^_^ )

---

I think (or would like to believe) that Rai is easily strong enough to obliterate all three of the Elders at the...

@strixflash Don't get me wrong, I love Noblesse. Overall, I like the chapter, definitely. But since we were on the subject of reviewing the chapter... I expressed my thoughts on it. After all the...

Oh, some new characters...?

...

NEW CREW MEMBERS!!!!!

:3c

But Hashirama did know his pain. They both kept losing brothers. The flashback implies that as they kept losing brothers as children, they wanted to find a solution even more. And during the fight...

Finally! Villains who are strong!
One thing I really liked about this chapter is that it indicates the 5th Elder (and by extension, Franky in his final form) really is stronger than Elders 6 and 7....

I think this is more of your influence on me now Jammin, but ...

About the composition on the last page (http://www.mangapanda.com/noblesse/277/25), it seems like Zarga's reaction shot should come...
