Noblesse: Chapter 228 Discussion

[UchihaHunter]

Read the chapter. I love Yuri. Waiting to see what Rodin does against everyone else. Also curious as to the 12th Elder's strength...the way that Cerberus got nervous about him showing up, I'm pretty sure he's on Crombell's level, despite what everyone else thinks.

Don't need Rai or Frankenstein to show up and OP the fight, lol

[FrostyMouse]

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.

Here's the thing. While we have often been trolled about deaths by authors in the past, Yuri's been orchestrating this scenario, so I somehow doubt he'd leave Yuizi alive...

Honestly, a lot of people seemed to be hoping that Yuizi would join the household and/or become Takeo's love interest, so yeah, a lot of people seemed to be in denial about her death, so forgive me if I grouped you with them.

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 :/

Yeah,and Yontsu almost got hit because she was Fangirling over M-21 . About Seira's link to Regis,this work only when Regis is Knocked inconscious that Seira figures out that he needs help....At least that's how it worked out the last time.

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

I expected some resistance from M-21 yet It seems he has'nt recovered enough to fight back.you gotta love M-21's limitless tenacity & courage

229 prediction:

Yuri:"Oh Dear,Ked You're Not Dead Yet"
Ked:"help me"

I'm sorry for my absence last night due to exam this morning. I asked help from another global moderator to open the thread, though it might have been a bit too late. Next time a new raw is out and I'm not around, guys, just poke any global moderators or administrators online. If nobody is there, then you will have ti wait slightly longer. Thanks for your interest anyway, glad to see people loving Noblesse so much! ^__^

Anyway, awesome chapter. Our boys rock things so much, glad to see them getting stronger and cleverer in battle techniques.

Quick with hopeful thinking, aren't we? I kind of left that behind now, too fixated at what Yuri was doing and how everything would turn out, LOL~

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.

They could really be that weak, or our boys have made great improvement in their skills. Not to mention that each Cerberus members had fought at least two boys; Ked had it even worse since he 'started' the fight first. As much as he was probably several times stronger than them, with tactics and constant weakening Takeo did to him previously, there must have been quite big holes which could be useful.

I'm torn looking at Rai; I missed his actions yet knowing his condition I'm not sure at all. I think I'll stick with Frank this time.

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

State your ground, boy, Yontsu with Sangeen or M-21.

Here's the thing. While we have often been trolled about deaths by authors in the past, Yuri's been orchestrating this scenario, so I somehow doubt he'd leave Yuizi alive...

I agree. The purpose becomes blur if she was left half-dead, and Yuri isn't the type to do his job half-heartedly. She was meant to die; no witnesses should be left behind. The same goes with Lutai. He did that to let the wrath of the Union fall into the 12th Elder, and to our good boys eventually. That's the space for him and Crombel to get what they want. Very tricky.

My review is out (here is a link for any who are interested)

Well it's absolutely far to group me with people who saw her a potential love interest for Takeo but, for me at least, that's a different thing that whether or not she's alive now

The old cut to black thing leaves too much uncertainty to be sure of what happened and if she did survive in some way, fooling Yuri into think she was dead would be the #1 prerequisite. Basically what I mean to say isn't that "she is alive" just that "we can't be sure she's dead", the whole situation is a little too ambiguous for me.

State your ground, boy, Yontsu with Sangeen or M-21.

M-21, no question. Sangeen is just a placeholder. I still don't buy them being married, in the least.(Which may or may not be denial on my part, we'll see.)

Awesome chapter

Tao and Takeo did a good job defeating that blonde dude . In the end i have to say i'm really disappointed by the Cerberus , i mean why were we afraid of them if that's all they've got ? Rodin was the only one that didn't disappoint me in the end , the rest were lame.
And what do i see here Yonsu made an appearance and saved M21 . Maybe your wishes to see them together will come true

Can't wait for the next chapter . I wanna see Franky and Rai getting there already

[Charlie]

M - 21 fainted at the end right?
Maybe Yonsu will be the one to nurse him back to health.

Here's how the non-rational part of my brain sees next weeks chapter playing out...

*M-21 wakes up with his head resting on Yontsu's lap*

M-21: "*Ahem* I...uh...your dossier said you were married?"
Yontsu: "I am..but it's just a tax thing. Sangeen's a great guy but he's also gay."
M-21: "....Oh"
Yontsu: "Yeah......"

*She tackles him and they start making out just as Tao and Takeo appear*

Tao: "M-21 I thought you might need some.......?????(WTF!!)"
Takeo: "I believe M-21 has this situation under control....we should find Regis."
Tao: ".....Right(Why does he get all the girls?)"

*They take off.*

M-21: "We should probably go too."
Yontsu: "Yeah...."

*They resume making out*

I'm disappointed in the blonde guy...he got beat by Tao and Takeo? For real? I mean, Takeo's speed was noted even by Frankenstein, so I can accept the speed part, but Tao doesn't flourish in head-to-head combat...so that was disappointing.

Ked took M-21 (who actually does flourish in CQC), Takeo and Tao supporting (especially Takeo), and a noble in Regis to fall. Not disappointed in him, M-21 pretty much admitted that if it had been 1v1, he'd have lost.

Rodin was the only one that didn't disappoint me in the end

Yea, seems like he can fight with Regis pretty well. We'll see what happens with him.


I'm more interested in what Yuri will do in relation to the Rodin situation. And of course I'd like to see the elder show up next chapter.

[phio_chan]

Cerberus' defeat was rather surprising, indeed. They were greatly reduced in power thanks to Yuri, really; he wiped out two members of Cerberus so easily, and we had not even seen one of them in fight. Ked was brought down the longest, really, because of Takeo and M-21's tactic... But like Lutai, I think he only fainted, not yet died. Rodin is the one left. I wonder how Yuri would deal with these two. Or if he would leave them alone to Union's and 12th Elder's wrath since they didn't know Yuri's betrayal yet.

M - 21 fainted at the end right?
Maybe Yonsu will be the one to nurse him back to health.

Wishful thinking, wishful thinking... I am tempted to add Sangeen to Jammin's script.

[matzik1212]

I was actually more like disappointed than surprised by Cerberus defeat , they are the typical type of villain that just like to bark and when it comes down to the real deal , showing their abilities, they just mess up big time . Lame....
I'm waiting now to see the 12th elder in action , hope he at least entertains me .

Isn't that just a little harsh?

Sure Mr. chainsaws-for-hands was a little underwhelming but he was still going 1 versus 2. There were a grand total of 6 people involved in bringing down Ked. And Yuizi can hardly be blamed for getting shot in back.

i did warn ppl not to expect stupendous stuffs from cerebrus, what happens is when you expect a lot and one doesnt live up then you get to feel that they are useless or lame.
to be honest i was expecting a 2 on 1 battle with Rk 4 and atleast 2 or 3 of cerebrus vs current clan lords to be fair
so i am kind a...pft i did expect them to be n this lvl and all
