Serious Frolicking posted:I don't remember that at all. Got a source? book posted:I believe in chapter 351, Negi writes in the class roster that Zazie might be from Venus. I don't think it was ever explicitly confirmed. Yeah, it was one of those teaser comments that was written near Zazie in Negi's Class Roster when they were getting close to the epilogue, from the months that were skipped at the end of Negima. Set off a fury of speculation too, but the whole Demon world on Venus thing always made a whole lot of sense to me once I saw that comment.

It's a heck of a thing to take a break from following a Manga. When I left off with UQ Holder they'd just wrapped up Santa's arc, then I come back and read the most recent 10 chapters or so and his sword is talking, he's actually a clone and he's become Hula-man.

Anyway, Kirie's training makes a whole lot of sense and I think several of us predicted it. Edit: Actually now that I checked none of us did, at least in this thread. gimme the GOD DAMN candy fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Since I'm bored, I'm bringing up the old theory that UQ Holder is in the universe that Asuna was sealed for a 130 years. They specifically mentioned that Magic Cancel is the only thing that can absolutely destroy the Life Maker, with which Touta has both Erebea and Magic Cancel. Since immortality is more or less achievable through Erebea when you're part of the royal Ostian lineage, it would make sense that he would have an innate attribute with Magic Cancel. As that's also another royal Ostian specific thing. Compounded by the fact that Fate was seeking him so that he can save Negi and that the Life Maker is still alive. I also don't remember seeing Asuna at all in the party hunting down the Life Maker in that flashback that cyborg samurai had. Also not going to bother spoiling anything since anyone who's following UQ Holder in this thread, has already the chapter by now. If you're sure that immortality is just an Erebea thing, there's a comment in the final battle with Eva in the original series about it. It more or less specified that the only reason Negi was even able to recover from his petrified BSOD state was because of his lineage. the page VVV: Erebia is actually a word. Specifically the name of a butterfly. InfinityComplex fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jun 10, 2015 |

This is me getting my  on but I absolutely must point out it's Erebea with an E.^^^ but it's not the word being used here. It's coming from 'Erebus' who is the Greek deity for darkness. Kyte fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Jun 11, 2015 |

So basically Touta's going to have super-kanka or whatever? Rather than magic in one hand and chi in the other, it's erebea in one hand and cancel in the other?

Just finished the second-to-last volume of Negima. (See my post history in this thread for my thoughts on Negima up to around Negi vs. Rakan.) * Negi became stronger than the other protagonists by far but didn't render them irrelevant, which is good. * The graveyard lady being Negi's mother was a pretty abrupt twist that wasn't really followed up on so far. * The resolution to Setsuna vs. Tsukuyomi was disappointing, as Akamatsu basically admits in the end-of-volume notes. Setsuna just wins for no real reason beyond FRIENDSHIP. * The ending of Negi vs. Fate was cool, though. * I like Negi's plan to save the Magic World. It's sensible, but it's also easy to see why no one else tried it before. * The recent running gag of characters NOT ending up naked is mildly amusing.

The... graveyard lady? I'm not sure what you mean. As far as I know, Arika or however her name is spelled has only appeared in flashbacks and we never found out what happened to her.

The gravekeeper is Negi's grandmother. Arika is definitely Negi's mother and fell off the face of both planets. Probably died, absorbed by the Life Maker, or is Nekane(shrug).

That reminds me of when Eva had a fever in early Negima and Negi saw her chasing after Nagi.

Arc is probably wrapping up since "surpassing the teacher", not that Touta will actually succeed, is usually the last step.

Avulsion posted:I think it'll be the other way around, it looks like he's about to get accidentally zapped back into the past. You know, considering Touta is immortal he could do a crazy hyperbolic time chamber training scene by getting sent a thousand years into the past, and then showing up the next day and saying "Man, that was exhausting." Not that I expect it to happen, since Touta's thing is being the clueless newbie, but it would be funny.

That would actually fit in with the other training arcs, especially like Kirie's: "Gee you suck at being a wizard. Relive this week a zillion times until you don't suck."

Touta's situation is very messed up, but I really don't see adult Eva as ever being a love interest for him. However, it might be that this is what Dana meant when she said Touta would teach Eva love. In other words, that he would be the one who taught her love in the distant past. Dana is probably pretty loose when it comes to causality. gimme the GOD DAMN candy fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Jun 18, 2015 |

I guess with all of her past and such, she would have trouble trusting people again during that time. Love would be an analog for trust. Just my two cents on what I see in this situation.
