Actually, I also want to know what that is.

[suarhnir]

oyos

in the original japanese script, it stood for "the audacious space elevator". it was a term coined in some science fiction novel.

[Atobe the king]

Lol simca and nike? The hell? I guess since Ikki and Ringo are OTP gotta shove all the other harem candidates off.

[dirtywork]

Simca likes Nike ?!?!? i think she like Ikki the most and Simca lost her sexy apeal just WTF is wrong with latest chapters

[king_crimson-]

not even 10 chapters ago she was cheering at his apparent death...

i think she's being sarcastic, and actually just wants to get back at him for all the crap he's done....

[suarhnir]

oyos

yeah, saying she'll do all that but not let him touch her would be torture for nike quite honestly...

[Carnevil]

He's not going to be able to touch her not because she said so but because he'll be spending the rest of his life in prison. Being a U.S. soldier he'd be extradited back to the states court martial'd then sent to Leavenworth.

[DragonOsman2]

@Suahnir: True. The one she's actually in love with is still Ikki, I'm pretty sure. But she also knows she can't have him, since he's already chosen Ringo. And recall that when they were coming out of the Tower, and Nike was being afraid of the light and the sky outside, Simca told him that she wants to see all of their faces in a brighter place, and then she added, "especially your handsome face". She's always been the playful sort, but chances are that Nike was already in love with her back then, and I think her calling him handsome is OG's way of hinting at a bit of NikexSimca. Simca herself doesn't really feel that way towards Nike, though, as she's only going to be doing it to punish him. She'll wear whatever he wants and do whatever he wants, but he's never again allowed to touch her. Just imagine how it would feel if the girl of your dreams said that to you (directed at all of the boys reading this).

And also, what was that about Simca's sex appeal going down? Because I don't know about that. I'd say her sex appeal is still going strong; with a body like that, there's no way she'd ever lose her sex appeal.

Edit: One post late.

@Carnevil: True, but even if this weren't the case, what Simca said still stands. If he didn't go to prison and get punished there by the US government, he'd get punished by Simca. And "Hell hath no fury greater than a woman scorned," you know? Considering what he's done to her, she is going to give him a punishment worse than hell.

Alright SSA's scan is out and once again superior to the other scanlation group. They actually explain the Kanji with the 8 roads.

[DragonOsman2]

They do, huh? That's good, I'll read it then.

Edit: Just read it. It's a better translation, I think, too. Sora mentions the last line to Ikki, saying, "As expected of the last line". I wonder, Ikki probably doesn't understand what the "last line" business is about; unless, of course, Kururu found the information on the Rune Futhark about the requirement of the ninth line to complete the Sky Regalia when she was completing the Storm Regalia and told Ikki about it.

[Onibasu]

I hope that Sleeping Forest is not really dead. They just reveal Onibasu's abilities kinda.

[Drylick]

I'm not really buying the Hurricane Road as the last road since it's just a modification of the Wind Road. The last road should be different. Like the strongest among them all. It's much too plain if the 9th is the Hurricane Road.

I finally read SSA Scans! Yeah it's much better. Damn I really had a hard time understanding the other scan. >.<

Anyway, Ikki is really strong right now. Since Agito said that in his current form, he (Ikki) doesn't need to play tricks anymore.

I also saw a clear view of Kilik's head in Takeuchi Sora's hands. So yeah, I think he is really dead.

I'm also wondering why Takeuchi Sora prevented Ikki/Kururu from completing the Storm Regalia since he already knew that Ikki holds the 9th line.

[DragonOsman2]

Firstly, the Hurricane Road pretty much is the strongest Road since the Wing Road is the Road closest to the "sky," and Ikki also added in the Over Road to it with Hurricane Road, along with the Bloody, Flame, Gaia, and Rising Roads. And it's also the main protagonist's Road. So it shouldn't hard to believe that it'd be be the ninth Road, and the last line needed to complete Sky Regalia. Kanon also referred to it as the "genuine Ninth Path of the Regalia" when he was talking to Ringo some chapters ago about accepting him as a Tuner because Sleeping Forest doesn't use real Regalia and also talked about what the introduction of the genuine Ninth Path of the Regalia would mean.

As for why Sora tried to stop Ikki and Kururu from completing the Storm Regalia even though he knew that Ikki holds the ninth line needed to complete Rune Futhark/Sky Regalia, well, it could just be that he wanted to give them a bit of a challenge, acting like an all-important villain, before he himself got challenged by Ikki.

I don't know. I just don't like the Hurricane Road to be the 9th. I feel like, the 9th should be much more spectacular than that.

I think Sora delayed the production of the Storm Regalia so that Ikki won't be a hindrance to him before he get to the Sky. Basically, he knows that he would be no match for Ikki if the 9th path within him (Ikki) awakens and he only have the Bagram as his regalia.

[DragonOsman2]

The Bagram is Sora's Regalia. He was probably trying to buy time until he got his hands on the Sky Regalia so that he could give the 9th Road a run for its money, if you're right.

And we haven't exactly seen everything that the Storm Regalia can do yet, so hold off on saying how spectacular the Hurricane Road is or isn't until we do. We've only seen one actual Hurricane Road Trick so far and that's it ("Null Wind").
