How many chapters do you think UxU have until the end?

During the best run of the manga, I was sure that we would have one loop before the real final arcs, which would lead to Ragnarok, etc.
Now I think that the manga might end in like 20 chapters or so. A soft-cancelling.

You think it's ending ? To me we were definitely getting a new loop so at least reaching 300 chapters or so... It would be so sad to end that manga this soon. It has One Piece potential of popularity and lasting. I think we need an anime to get the "KNY effect". I really hope a good studio decide to handle it.

Yes, I'm feeling that it ends sooner rather than later. As I mentioned, at first I thought that we'd get like 2x the amount of chapters needed to reach the first loop happening, etc. But now I don't think we'll get that far.

If we do, maybe it's because Jump doesn't want another series ending this year. But let's see. Those last few chapters were too fast-paced

Were there hints towards Isshin x Top and Chikara x Tatiana? Like when Andy was like “oh you guys should just confess already” I was like “to each other?”

I think that Top and Isshin were hinted if having something during the Autumn arc. Chikara and Tatiana is completely out of the blue. To me, at least.

Anyways, the plot is so rushed now 🥲

Nah, even before that, when Top most likely still thought that Isshin was a guy, he was the closest one to the guy in armor. When Billy's attack seemed to hit Isshin's neck, Top was the first to rush (and not just because of his powers, too), he was the first one to panic.

Oh that previous chapter was just heart wrenching.

and also Astral Projecting. Funny how the sick child is doing it. In my experience of projecting, the physcial body directly impacts the aetheric/astral subtle bodies.

Also, Unruin makes no sense. But Seal does, and he is cool. Unfortunately he seems to be only half competent.

And God turns out to be the Sun. Gotta love all these low key occult revelations sprinkled in.

I'm really looking forward to this being animated someday. Undead x Unluck has easily been my favorite shonen alongside Dr. Stone. Wonderfully different and creative.

Today's chapter was daaaaaaaamn. However it's another plot of someone who can't get over his grief, since we just had Rip it kinda seems a little redundant.
I'l still looking forward to the fight !

It's been a while since I posted here. I am caught up.

The pacing is strange. Found the Spring arc average and everything felt rushed but since the Ragnarok arc started it feels like things are better and although it feels like it can end at any moment, it feels like the author can control the pace however he wants.

Some characters haven't had their arcs too, like Nico, the cyborg etc.

I agree, the author belaboured the monster-of-the-week with Spring and Summer. The overarching kill god plot line is the real driver here.

We're definitely getting a new loop tho which is good, many characters will get their arc, maybe we'll even get to live their story. We still have no clue what happened to Victor and how Andy came to be tho, I'm almost more interested in that than in the future God slaying arc.
With the new loop we'll get to understand how God made the Earth, how the first rules happen and so on. Will Andy and Fuuko have to survive among Dinosaurs ??

Unforgettable seems like an absolute curse, I think it's 2nd in place in the top of most awful negation to have. (Unknown IS the worst of all whitout a doubt).

Yeah Unforgettable is terrible. Anyway, Nico says all of this but he still spared his daughter. In the end he is being very selfish.

I think he knows he is. I just don't get why he thinks getting his wife's soul will matter given that ragnarok will happen in a few days. Did she die giving birth ?
Also given her outfit she was in the union so I don't see why he would want to betray the organisation she also was part of.

Unforget is a fantastically powerful ability. Eidetic mental memory with a high level of comprehension plus eidetic muscle memory?
Honestly his ability may be even more of a cheat than unfair. More so considering he is able to essentially clone other negators and their abilities.

It's wonderful but considering the fact that you always have painful memories in your mind I don't think it's worth it.

If you look at the negators, they're mostly tortured by their abilities. That and their abilities manifest usually at the world possible time, resulting in great personal tragedy.

Undead can't die no matter how much he regrets outliving everyone he ever cares about.
Unluck killed her own family with love.
Unrepair killed the love of his life.
Unforget is tortured by his experiences and knowledge.
Unmove killed his family by accident.
Unstoppable killed his friends with an explosion of speed when he tried to throw the race and lose.
Untouchable is denied human warmth and contact.

So by comparison, Unforget isn't exactly unique.
