i'm busy and the quality is low... i'm just gonna point out the highlights~

- ikki and nue are fighting... nue is counting down the number of times ikki has 'died' (in a previous chapter he said that by the 11th death, it will be real), currently they are at 5.

- ikki tries to do that wind explosion trick but nue spins his wires to make a drill aimed to ikki's head. nue's team counts that as the '6th death'

- nue explains something and one word confuses ikki... the rest of nue's team start talking about the real one within you or something like that...

-taeko attacks nue (apparently she stayed behind to help ikki), with her weapon, she initiates an attack which nue gets vibes as if it was spitfire... she then uses the infinite atmosphere attack of the apollon road 'st. elmo's crossfire (revised)' [based upon st. elmo's fire = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elmo's_fire]

-nue was hurt a good bit from that attack and ikki says something to nue (i think he says if he goes all out, then nue will too?) ikki gets psyched up...

i'm not sure about any of this... except the crossfire attack that taeko did. i'll post a better summary when a better quality scan is put up~

Good to see that not every "death" was featured, because I was really worried those would span multiple chapters and the fight would last far too long.

Oh, by the way, so Nue saying Ikki gets 10 deaths, means he gets 10 free passes but the 11th will be the one that kills him?

I really hope it doesn't come down to Ikki winning once he is on the 11th death, because that will be incredibly cliche.

The graphic of taeko did remind me of Spitfre and Aeons Apollon's Road.

Maybe Kazu will eventually be able to do some solo Apollon Road as well. So far it seems like the strongest Flame Road trick so far...

Actually I can imagine Kazu's ultimate Crossfire wont graphically be a 4 pointed cross but 8 - including the ones going diagonally, for differentiation and a symbol of being stronger...

So it would be St Elmo's Maltese crossfire. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_Cross_(symbol)

Still trying to figure out why OG named this trick after a lightning phenomenon.

nice high quality... and watermarks don't really bother me as far as reading it goes~

- after the 5th 'death' ikki tries to do that wind explosion, but nue understands how the tricks works; that its a close range attack that effects the entire area except for the very center (where the one doing the trick is) and for a brief moment it requires the user to brace themselves which means they can't dodge. nue uses coiled wires to form a drill-like spike aimed to ikki's head.

- nue explains something about degraded copies vs. original (i think he means that ikki's trick is nowhere as good as sora's?). nue makes fun of the look ikki is giving but ikki childishly denies it. the kids say how they would like to see ikki go all out but also say that it seems like ikki is holding himself back...

- taeko takes a shot at nue... just before he retaliates, she initiates the mode meant to go against thunder, aka flames~ her weapon "Focke-Wulf"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf] is a generic regalia prototype, based on data collected from the sano family on the 8 kings, its capable of doing a reproduction 12% short of the original (its a slightly weaker version than what the king who's data its based on can do). nue can feel spitfire's in her incoming attack, and taeko uses apollon road's infinite atmosphere trick, st. elmo's crossfire (revised)

- ikki puts in a stupid remark in the wake of the hit on nue, but then he adds does it make you an idiot since a copy is degraded... and ikki compares himself being the copy of sora and if he can surpass him then that would be the real deal.

So does this mean the generic regalia prototype can reproduce any trick from the 8 kings but only at 88% power....

'Cause for one device thats pretty good...!

I was thinking the exact same, that is pretty damn hax.

There must either be a huge amount of energy or time to consume before each 88% attack, or there is an extended down time of non use required after each 88% attack.

Or it could simply be a common use of the characters in the story not quite knowing the exact details, such as in this case they believe it to be 88% capable, but regalias in the hands of the uber top class kings could even be twice as strong as the device.

at this moment, i don't think its really about the power levels... its more about the difference between copy and original. there was a part after taeko attacked nue with crossfire, that she takes his earlier statement about ikki gaping like a fish (in fright/awe) and says that for a great person learning, it wouldn't be called 'gaping' but 'studying' (the 'light bulb clicks on in understanding'). whether she was defending ikki from nue's statements is uncertain, but she was at least giving a counter-example to their situation.

It's nice to know that Rika isn't as important as fighting Nue.

Well the downside is that its freakin huge...and requires one whole leg to use...any top class rider/king/queen would be able to ride circles around the user...

Its good for support roles and sneak attacks like taeko demonstrated, but not fit exactly for the first/front line or one on one fights..

[Carnevil]

A little hope for Buccha fans. Considering the size of that thing it would be the perfect weapon for Buccha. His strength would make it easy for him to lug that big fucking thing around.

[Atobe the king]

Ughh hello guys, it's been fucking ages hasn't it...won't get into why i was gone but i'm back lol...

JUST got caught up on all things AG since about...the end of the Sleipnir...didn't expect Nue to be opponent tbqh.

Ikki still as confident as ever i see, wondering how long he can bullshit without a reggy lol.

the chaper and a funny story with much love from your pirates ~ http://franky-house.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11429

[king_crimson-]

great work as usual also lol @ your new cleaner's story, meh, if sora scans doesn't want to do a joint with you guys, you could try with kuu(although AFAIK they're doing MQ/HQ volume scanlations, and are still at volume 23...)...just saying...

anyways, about the chapter, anyone else thinks this has anything to do about the "cage" nue and the kids are talking about?
