Chapter is out!

[Axaristos]

An hour ago. Tried to post it but thread was locked

Great chapter this is

Next one wait I must

[llmcduff]

There was no chapter this week, I thought. Glad I was wrong and thank you.

I'm a bit perplexed about Edward Scissor Hand being down with our 2 guys being there and immediately Yuriy showed up but there was no interaction among them. Are Takeo and Tao still there when Yuriy appeared?

[Wowzers]

Tao and Takeo took off after they beat the troll, probably to go to the other fight scene. Yuri then stepped in. This doesn't bode well for the redhead since Yuri was finishing off her at the end of last chapter.

[Darjaille]

Wow, this is turning into a battle royale. One after one, they keep coming. This chapter, it's Yonsu who joins the fight.

First thing first, Yonsu being there when M21 saved her and then collapsed, is it just me or I see some development ahead of us? Of course, I don't believe in our married couple anymore. But yeah, I'd be glad if the authors comfirmed this, cuz...XD

Redhead, Yellowhead and Bigman are down. Who is left? The leader with scars, Yuri and of course the elder. Regis and M21 were awesome, but now it seems it's time for someone else to step in (besides Yonsu). Is Seira joining now, or it's Frank & Rai already? I'm really wondering about Seira, what about her link with Regis? She should feel he needs help, so I'm betting on her. Seira to finish off Scarface, Yuri is Frank's and Rai can deal with the elder. Maybe ask some questions and then kill him off?
I'm still conflicted, I want to see Rai fights, but I don't want to see his condition go worse :/

[llmcduff]

I hope Frank can cure Rai but I don't think it's possible. However, with current technology, something to help his condition is possible - not a cure. I think Rai will die at the end of the Manga. Seems to be his fate. He's w/ the old guard, all but Gejutel and him are dead, and his role is to protect. He cannot not protect, even if he's weakening and "dying".

I'm surprised no one had mentioned the fact that Takeo can hand-to-hand combat. I don't think we've ever seen that before. His speed is pretty bad ass.

@Wowzers
Thank you for pointing out that they left. I missed the panel of them leaving for some reason.

I love the contrast between Frank and Rai whenever they are shown side by side.

Also love M21's role of a punching bag. Seems like through out the series, he got hit a lot!!!

[Axaristos]

in my opinion Franky is the one to fight, with the limiters released.

I think that more allies, in the flesh of former(to be) agents are gonna join the party, after this battle. I can see Rai organizing a shield for the kids, for when he have to go to sleep.

I plainly DON'T want to see Rai to fight, if this result in his condition to worsen. I want to see the elder fight between them for a sit in the council.

[FrostyMouse]

I was disappointed that Cerberus ended up being that weak. I'm sure the leader with scars is worth something, but clearly the only two opponents that are important in this arc are Yuri and the 12th Elder. Franky should be above the 12th Elder, and Yuri is maybe Seira's level, or a tad above.

I don't want to see Rai fight at all.

[Jammin]

I'm happy a peeked at the spoilers for once this week because it fills my heart with M-21/Yontsu related joy.

The fight's very interesting too.

As far as I can tell Kutai got beat fair and square by Takeo and Tao. Kind of an unimpressive performance by him really. M-21 and Yontsu managed to take out a battered Ked. And Rodin is pounding the hell out of Regis.

I don't think Cerberus has ended up being weak at all. You have to remember that in all likelihood, the real badasses of Cerberus were the Redhead and Rodin. Yuri essentially sucker-punched the Redhead, who is MIA now. And Rodin is beating the daylights out of Regis fairly effortlessly. So far I think Kutai is the only Cerberus guy who didn't quite meet expectations. We'll have to wait for the dialogue though to get the full picture.

I'm more than a little curious to see if the Redhead is actually dead though. If she is we'll probably hear about it from the KSA people later on. If she isn't somebody will find her before too long.

Yuri said he was killing her, so there'd be no reason not to kill her at this point. He could just send beams through her head and destroy her brain or just decapitate her.

Yeah, but we didn't see it. So we don't really know any more about it this week than we do last.

He probably meant to kill her but that doesn't mean he succeeded. If the author wants to keep her alive there are plenty of ways it could be done. The classic narrowly avoiding a fatal wound being the most likely. Her escaping is also possible, though only remotely. Or maybe she really is dead, in which case the KSA or somebody should locate the body eventually. Regardless, that makes her "Missing In Action" until we find out.

[Charlie]

Scan chapter's out from eg scans. If you have not seen it yet - get it from them.

I wonder where Rai was going - for a second I thought he went off on his own agian. Maybe... I'm mistaken. Either way I wonder where he'll show up in the next chapter. Tao and Taeko defeated Lutai and Yuri comes off to finish. I did not expect that he would have been finshed so quickly or the way M21 finished off the other guy but it seems his whole arm transforemed in that attack. That Yuri guy gets annoying so much >_<. When will he lose that smug on his face. He's watched the fight between Tao and Takeo and obviously was able to tell who they were. Haha - as expected.

Yeah, but Yuri's speech told us that he killed her. Yuri wouldn't have left her alive anyway, and as we saw in this chapter, Crombell wants to experiment on the 12th Elder's bodyguards anyway, so...

It told us that he thinks he did. Which is to be expected.

Whether or not that belief is accurate is another question. It's probable that Yuizi is dead but we didn't actually see it; so we can't really say anything for sure other than Yuri thinks she is. Just to clarify, in case you might thinking I'm just in denial about to her death or something, I've been fooled by this exact set of circumstances dozens of times; which has taught me to wait for more substantial information before pronouncing a character dead. Things are very often not what the seem.
