man i knew it
i knew that OG would troll everybody like that

[kataomoi]

No matter how cheesy any manga gets, I never understand why people who bash and tear it apart will come back to read it and bash it some more. Its like having someone you hate but going to hang out with them just to find more things to hate about them..o_0 To each their own I suppose..

Personally I got what I came for out of this manga, unrealistic science, overpowered characters , and the occasional ecchi..lol Its nice to finally see everything start to wrap up and I hope OG comes out with another series like this one...Hmm maybe a space mecha series..

So if I'm so if I'm understanding this correctly you don't need the physical regalias you just need to codes that go with it. I wonder if there is a way for Ikki to get back the sky reglia at this point? In all possiblity I'm sure he just plans to destroy the entire thing along with Sora.

oyos

so the regalias that sora lists off now that i can read them:

water regalia (om's)
speed regalia (??)
solar regalia (??)

seeing the clearer script, there isn't much for me to add...

[king_crimson-]

so, sora made up the whole "need 8 regalias to get the sky regalia" because that's actually what HE needed since he already had the other 21...but why didn't anybody of old SF question him about it? And what about that whole monologue when he thought if old SF gathered the succesfull GC they would have succeded?

The Sky Regalia seems to manage and control the AT world. If it got destroyed, wouldn't all ATs and AT technology just completely stop working? Ikki wants to keep his ATs and continue flying in the sky, I don't think he'd destroy the Sky Regalia (even if he knew how, which I don't think he or anyone in Kogarasumaru does; the Gravity Children probably know, and of course Dr. Minami knows).

I'm hoping there's a way to take away control of the Sky Regalia from Sora, since, in his possession, the Sky Regalia is going to be used for bad things. Sora is after world domination, after all. I can see Ikki saying to him, "I was joking about being emperor of the world, but man, Sora-san, you actually want to do it for real?!" or something along those lines, and then say he doesn't like it and try to stop him.

@king_crimson: Yeah, it seems he lied about needing the Eight Regalia. But, yeah, you do ask a very good question about the Gravity Children not having questioned it. I'm not sure about the monologue about the successful Gravity Children, either.

@Suahnir: Yeah; it would seem that the Water Regalia actually was one of the originals, a branch Regalia. Same for the Speed and Solar Regalia . . . hm, wait, "Speed" and "Solar" sound like Regalia that would branch off of the Flame Regalia, right? Then that would mean that the Water Regalia didn't branch off of the Flame Regalia. Which Regalia does the Water one branch off of? If it's "Wind," then since Mikan already has that, meaning that the current Sleeping Forest has two from the Wind-family, how did they have eight different Regalia types? They have to one each from each of the eight families of Regalia, right? I'm confused.

I love it when a plan comes together. Sora really is a magnificent bastard. You just know his death is going to be horrible.

8000 Kelvin is nearly 14000 farenheit or approx 7700 celsius. i googled the temperature at which the human body would ignite and eventually turn to ash - 1400 farenheit... o!g your physics fail us on a huge scale *facepalm* ^^;; by real world physics, there shouldn't have been anything left of the body and suit case.

minami described that gem, flame, rumble, thunder, fang and wind were the components to oppose gravity, thorn is for anti-gravity. we know from what we've seen is that pledge is the connecting component. so sora may have based the story on that but as for why the other grav kids didn't question it was probably because they at least knew as much as what minami described or that there really is 8 types of roads needed to utilize the sky regalia and they had a representative of each road in the team (as long as they had a regalia that was associated to the road type, i don't think it mattered to them).

i also don't think that all the a-t technology would stop working... its like having the network drive server shutting down in a business or school but the individual computers can still run, it would just be limited access to whatever the individual terminal is capable of doing.

And what about that whole monologue when he thought if old SF gathered the succesfull GC they would have succeded?

Well basically if he had stronger GC with him at the time he would have pwned Kiric like he apparently did in this chapter. Well maybe not pwned but defeated him at least.

Even though he was able to get the codes back then...having his tendons ripped was not something he would have desired.

[DragonOsman2]

^Makes sense.

@Suahnir: The other Gravity Children were still fooled, though, since they were thinking he wanted to release the Sky Regalia to the rest of the world and give people true freedom, while the reality was the complete opposite. If the other Gravity Children had found out back then what Sora was really after, I'm sure they would've tried to oppose him.

[ikkixringo]

can we figure out about the storm regalia and if it's done or not next chapter and have the genesis vs sleeping forest end between 334-336 it probably won't end in 333 but i guess it could

[warbandit66]

At this point is it safe to say that Sora is one of the most despicable characters in manga history? He really is just evil without any compassion, most evil characters at least have somebody that they love. He couldn't even shed a tear for his devoted brother.

Manga knowledge isnt too vast....but Im pretty sure their would be more evil manga characters out their.

He fits the Magnificent Bastard trope perfectly though. Not only is he a mastermind in strategy, hes got the power to do his own dirty work...and right now, he is untouchable.

No. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's Dio Brando would love to disgree. Even Dragon Ball's Freeza is more evil than Sora.

Was over at mangahead and saw that SSA scans dropped their scanlation of 332, thought I'd pop by and drop off a link.

Ok, I want to summarize or give justice to what just happened and the explanation etc.

Ok, DragonOsman, I get it. So that's the reason why Sora and Nike did all that they can to prevent Ikki from getting Bagram. And not just that, they also did everything in their power to stop the creation of the Storm Regalia. Basically since it was made in the exact image of Bagram (the looks, mechanism, principles, everything), technically, the Storm Regalia also has all the 20 cores embedded in it, 21 with the Bagram, plus the other cores. So that means, the Storm should be the most powerful regalia, before this chapter (as someone mentioned here in this forum). Hah! I can't wait for Ikki to show up with the Storm. It's pretty scary to think how powerful Ikki's Storm Regalia is.

Btw, did Sora got all the 28 poems/runes/codes? I'm still not clear with that. Can someone help me out here? Because if not, then Ikki should go on par with him. Since the Storm would have the 21 cores of the Bagram plus the 7 cores that Sora doesn't have. And "a new road".

-If Sora doesn't have the other 7, it would be a match. The Sky vs Ikki's new road. And since Ikki was able to get all of the 28 cores, it just makes sense that a new road appeared, like a reward in those RPG games - you complete all of the key, a new door would open. Did I make sense? Hope you know where I'm going. It's just scary to think that Ikki has combined all the 28 roads. If that's the case, Ikki is also the Sky King.

Or if Sora has all the poems/codes, then Ikki has the runes.

Told ya Osman, Sora ate the cores. He got nothing else to do with it. Also, my theory about why it is still a Wind Regalia despite having all the cores in it, is that because it wasn't designed to be another regalia. Sora was the Wind King. And Bagram, even with the addition of the other cores, is still Bagram. Sora was never meant to be another road rider. What happened with him collecting the other cores, is an abnormal power-up on defense. So yeah, it's just a power-up.

Kururu made the Storm Regalia different from the Bagram. Right from the start, after the Bagram was stolen, she planned to make it different from the Wind Regalia (though it still has the principle of the Bagram). She just used the core of the Rumble Regalia to make the Storm Regalia. But it doesn't mean that incorporating the cores of the other regalias in your regalia would give you the power to run on their road. That maybe the reason why Takeuchi Sora's Bagram still runs on the Wind even if he assimilated the cores of the other 20 regalias into his Bagram (it just powered up his regalia).

But with the creation of Storm Regalia, it's different. Kururu, I think, as genius as she is, since she is now on that statue, gives her the power or priviledge to know the specification and principles of the other regalias. And with that, she incorporated the runes (not just the cores, but the exact runes) of the other regalias into the Storm, thus creating a new road. I hope you got me there. Like.. Sora just got the cores/codes and regalia, Ikki got the runes.

And I also think that there's really other roads than the eight. Like the Water and Gabishi's Horn. I mean, there is no main road and branch or sub-road. All of the roads are principal roads. It's just that Sora, implied that the 8 roads (7 of which he's having difficulty with) should gather so that he could get a hold of the other 7 roads that he is having difficulty to collect. He highlighted that the 8 roads should come together so that he could get the codes of the other 7. So on my opinion, Water and Horn didn't branched out from the other roads, neither that they are sub-roads. All of the roads are major and principal roads.

So basically, Sora just created a legend. He made up the whole "8 regalias should meet" because that's all that's left for him to get and needed because he already had the other 20. Or 21 (the 8 includes the Wind but he already have it so he only needs 7).
