Air Gear 329 Discussion/330 Predictions

[Carnevil]

Kiric, is still standing even after facing two of the most powerful riders on the planet. Also he was never going to hit Rika so he was at a disadvantage. So saying he was never as good as Nike when we didn't even see the fight and he wouldn't even hit one the one opponent that could damage him is kind of stupid. He's not considered as skilled as he is for no reason.

I knew Kiric would survive since him and Simca need the Reunion that OG has always hinted at.

[DragonOsman2]

The reunion between two long-since-separated siblings? I want to see it, if it happens.

And yeah, I agree. Kilik actually is highly praised by people who know what they're talking about. All that praise can in no way misplaced.

[eefrit]

Oh, Come on now! We couldn't have at least gotten a pic of them preparing to battle? I was looking forward to seeing Kilik go all out even though I knew he would lose.

[Carnevil]

I'm wondering about something Kiric isn't in his normal battle gear it's weird for Kiric to not have his battle robes on. I'm wondering if Kiric decided to not go all out since Rika was involved and is leaving their defeat to Ikki.

[Waking_Dreamer]

Kiric has only worn his Robes in the flash backs....he probably doesnt wear them these days.

He wore them when they injured Simca.

no understand chinese... >_<

ikki kisses ringo, but i don't think he actually says 'i love you' outloud to ringo... though the collage of the two of them over the series speaks volumes. at first i thought hako was breaking crap but she was actually fixing stuff, so maybe she really did turn over a new leaf since the white wolf match. finally, despite that sf just got their butts kicked by sora and rika (i'm thinking more from rika, and part of it might be from lack of will to harm rika), we don't see bandaged head rider among the bodies on the page. there may still be hope for sf to turn it around a bit... unless it really was a 5 vs 2 and we only see ume there because she's tending to mikan and bandaged head rider was also sitting out. i wish i knew what minami is saying in his 'interview'

it is worthwhile to know that kiric is still standing and shows just how much better he is compared to other grav kids (still). i'm guessing that most of his injuries were also due to rika attacking and him being distracted by it

[Waking_Dreamer]

I wanna see a power reading on Kiric, Rika and Sora!

What power level was Nike again?

Oh yeah, does Rika look like Phoenix Jean Grey? What colours do people think her outfit should be..?

[emolibon]

"ikki kisses ringo, but i don't think he actually says 'i love you' outloud to ringo"

yeah difficult to say without the scans... but does it matter??? he did something just as meaningful... he KISSED her... not SHE kissed HIM like last time, this time ikki took the initiative... he finally kissed her... not just that but the whole scene with her hair and all the memories they shared together... that was just awesome.

Has there been another shounen-action manga where there is an intentional kiss between possible/probably shipping couple...?

This is much better than the Sakura "confession" in Naruto. lol

the feelings were 'displayed' in the collage of memories between them. but depending when i get a hold of the japanese script, i will be able to figure out whether ikki is the type to speak his feelings or just go with his actions. with this development, will ikki still go out with simca in the aftermath of the gst? will ringo even let him? she's admitted (indirectly) to being rather clingy and potentially jealous of anyone outside of kururu - given that she knows that kururu has settled on being just the supportive tuner. you could also say that kururu has officially taken the spot of best friend (that's a girl) which can be just as deep a relationship as lovers would minus the sexual intimacy since that has been mentioned as the requisite/result of personal tuner x king pairings.

its a bit tough with the size of the scans but is sora even wearing his regalia? it looks like he's just wearing normal tennis shoes (or at least, his regalia is inside his shoes which would mean he couldn't really use them)... that would mean he relied totally on rika to beat sf and may still actually lack the ability to beat kiric. if sora didn't actively fight, then i would be inclined to believe in a fair fight against kiric, sora would still lose. however, faced against rika, the thorns are capable of piercing any defensive barriers that kiric's been training on (when we see him in that device that om was helping him with that increased pressure). of course there's also the looming fact of whether anyone had the balls to really attack rika... it'd be a cheap victory for genesis but at least sora managed to plan it well.

[Atobe the king]

Never before has the tuning = sex thing been more apparent lol.

Doesn't look like Kiric or sora are wearing AT's

[Waking_Dreamer]

Sora has his sneakers on, but Kriric could be wearing ATs



Rika probably solo'd 4 of them and injured Kiric...I dont think Um was part of the battle and was there to see how hurt Mikan was...

Also Om's on her hands a knees...but she might not be KO yet.

[king_crimson-]

sora doesn't wear ATs. His feet are ATs...
