Shounen Double Arts by Komi Naoshi

[Koen]

But like Zoe said, what reason do they have to lie to Elle?

I think the size difference between Mink and Urates may be THE clue to Kiri's ability. Perhaps Mink and Urates are of different races, and both races naturally possess a recessive gene for his ability that doesn't emerge when members of the races mate with their own race, but became dominant in Kiri because of his mixed blood.

I am not Gregor Mendel, but I have this

Spoiler: long theory that is loooong

that in the past, the 4 races lived separately because of distance or hostility. And only in the recent centuries - maybe unified by the Troi epidemic, maybe because of improved transportation - the races started to mix with each other, leading to mixed-race marriages.

You know how mix-breed mutts are (almost) always healthier than purebred dogs? So, my theory is, the early result of the race-mixing was the emergence of girls who have partial immunity to Troi. Girls who weren't identified as Sisters might have gone on to have children who carried recessive Troi-immunity genes that have the potential to become dominant if the people who have them mate with the right people.

Going by this theory, and assuming normal mutation rate, it's possible that all kinds of Troi-immunity genes could be going dominant. Kiri's generation might see the emergence of more kids who are immune to Troi, though probably not to the degree that Kiri is. The emergence of Elle as one of the most powerful Maille Sisters with an increased ability to tolerate Troi is also a sign.

The theorized "5th race" could therefore be a group of people who are all descendants of mixed-race pairings, who possess extraordinary abilities because of their mixed blood. The Gazelle might be a 5th race subgroup who have realized this, and are evilly making sure that only their race survives by ensuring that all the other races are wiped out by Troi. Therefore there might be nothing sinister at all about Kiri's ability - Komi might just be pointing out that he's genetically similar to the Gazelle but not necessarily destined to become a member of them.

First of all would you tell when keeping it secret while his son is sitting there? You can't know but maybe it's a secret between his father and his mother, just between the two. I don't say it is but my intuition says me there isn't something true or right. We know there are four races. But don't you think it's strange that all people living in that village are normal people, even sui of a race is still normal as not having some abnormal power.

Second what I think is strange: though the two previous attacker were "gazelle", they were normal and hired by someone. That someone seems to be special too like kiri. Imo it's a bit strange and somehow his powers will allow him too to avoid being affected by troi (zezu is so fast that a normal person will never be able to touch him and if so, they are very well dressed).

That's why I think: kiri just this opponent-gazelle/zezu and prolly other gazelles are part of one of the four races OR which I prefer more: a fifth forgotten race that was nearly to extinction because they were feared by the 4 races for their special powers (a reason why they are forgotten and why it is said there are only 4 races). The gazelle are talking about a plan and troy. Don't forget being immune ca be something natural but zezu hasn't seen kiris boost power yet, so he might change thoughts about kiri when seeing that (eg: is he one of us???, etc)

I wonder how long it will take this manga to truly get going. I can't wait until it develops it's story and characters further. I expect great things. It's got a great start so far.

 

[rhapsody blue]

The spoiler guy has posted a short spoiler.

Spoiler

シスターと手をつないでフレアが発動し、ゼズゥの手から逃れる→ゼズゥがフレアの能力に気づく→ゼズゥ帰る

According to babelfish, it looks like Kiri did something.

 

[Koen]

ah very short spoiler but anyway thanks a lot rhaps but

aren't those things we can come up with too - but if this is true then I wonder

[rhapsody blue]

I think it is true b/c it was from the same guy and all of his spoilers were confirmed in the past chapters.

Spoiler

Interesting chapter! I think there's a regular translator sort of for this series so I will stay away...anyways, looks like Kiri's power of Flare is certainly linked to that of a Gazelle

thanks!

 

[Koen]

So I was so

Spoiler

RIGHT, I knew kiri was linked with the gazelle. I got that inuition. Anyway caesarpk I don't think someone would mind to translate a short summary. It's the chaps that are be done by shrimpy. I think I have seen some others giving script translations. And zezu really looks suprised as he can't do anything(not as be unable to move but more like must tell this to the co-gazelle members before doing something stupid because he doesn't know) - btw was kiri able to touch zezu while other couldn't prolly vanish -> was kiri faster? did it got to do with his power?

thanks rhaps and caesarpk

it says

did the spoiler tags for you, ~koenosaki

 

[rhapsody blue]

Thanks for the summary!

Spoiler

I wonder what the Gazelle are planning since Zezu leta Kiri go.

 

[Koen]

Got those questions too

Spoiler

but kiri stands for special power and gazelle seems to stand for an orgainzation with special powered people. Troi is part of their plan but zezu doesn't know and I think he'll need to talk with the others

 

[rhapsody blue]

Spoiler

Zezu: how will you use it...I'm highly interested...smirk

There seems to be several ways for Kiri to use his ability based on that quote so I guess we will see other uses in the future chapters.

I wonder how many people have Kiri's power; I don't think Zezu has it, but maybe one of his allies does.

Spoiler

nice catch, indeed it could mean zezu knows something about this power. For sure he doesn't have it but it's somehow cool: kiris power are a gift(?) for the sisters but now the gazelle/zezu are interested too. Well I have always thought if kiri can boost a sisters ability then I think he can boost trois negative effects too. Is kiri immune? Well as med student could rhaps, these things are in your league but sisters ability and kiris ability work in a different way. My guess: kiri isn't immune himself but because of his boost power the sisters resistance to troi grows so much he can touch them because of that. I hope to find out more about how specificely kiris power works

 

[Zoe]

Spoiler

　正しかったんだって
　今でも思うよ

"That was [the correct choice]
Even now I think that"

DUN Dun dun...

Pretty ominous.

 

[Ging]

Spoiler

i wonder what kind of power Kiri has? (the real one)

 

[haya5h1]

From the picture it looks like

Spoiler

Zezu was reacting to Kiri's regular strengthening power.

But it need not be a power specific to the Gazelles... Perhaps the Gazelle recruit people with powers like that instead of killing them. Or Zezu might even have encountered it in battle with someone who has a similar power.

Actually, now I think about it, none of the Gazelle assassins we've seem have special powers like Kiri, not even Zezu. I mean, we've only seen them in action against the Sisters and Kiri, who are all youngsters (Sui doesn't count, she's a monster) so the Gazelle may only seem more powerful in comparison.

Makes me wonder, now, just how big the world that Kiri and Elle live in is. Seems like even the Sisters may be pretty isolated if even Sister Martha hasn't heard of someone like Kiri before.

 

[Koen]

just to mention the first real gazelle we have seen is zezu and zezu alone. The other two: sword guy and knifes guy were just murderers hired by zezu -> so it could be that

Spoiler

gazelle are special powered people

 

[Ging]

Spoiler

it looks like the gazelles is using Troi to conquer Kiri's world

Spoiler

My point is that special powers don't automatically make someone a Gazelle.

Elle's words sure are ominous, though I just don't see how Kiri could possibly turn against the Sisters unless it was for a darned good reason.

 

[Koen]

Hmm, Looked into the raw and I can't come up with anything. This is like a-trans/scan-await-chapter. But it looked good if you ask me

@haya5h1: let's hope we'll find out more about gazelle. But I agree with you, it doesn't necessary have to be that special powers are gazelle .

 

[Zoe]

Yay, Heim is still alive T_T
