What if she runs into alternate, dimension hopping Eva?

This just popped up:


Looks like Ken hasn't forgotten what Eva looks like.

I do wonder why she's using the candy instead of her own magic, though
.

The ones Negi eventually uses are ones made by her in the first place.

Also, I'm glad we get to see old Eva. I miss her ridiculous frilly outfits.

Oh, forgot about that. Didn't she abandon them, though, since she didn't need them anymore? Like she did with Magia Erebea.

I might be projecting, but even mini-Eva is still kinder looking than she ever did in Negima.

Honestly, I just want her to be happy, haha, fictional character and all.

Yeah. And I trust Akamatsu enough with character development that I doubt it came out of nowhere; I'm going to guess that decades with a bunch of actual friends has really mellowed her.

I don't know. Eva was at her best when she was being a bored, unrepentant, all-powerful troll. I would hate to lose that.

Well, she was also cheerfully sadistic before, so I guess she just lost that. Probably still not giving a poo poo about anything though.

For lack of a better term, it seems that Eva has finally ditched the 'vamp' aspect she played up. Maybe even she decided she was getting a little too old, and a little too Face, to be conforming entirely to the traditional Dark Queen role.

Come to think of it, the difference in style of her adult form is pretty much just her outfit. Black leather and all just leaves a different impression.

I'm not sure how I feel about Touta. Despite the "I don't care about becoming stronger" bit, he comes across as an almost aggressively generic shonen main character. He started to show signs of actual angst, but then it was turned into a joke.

You say that as if Negima weren't generic as hell at the start.

I remember Mahora having rail cars like that, but it might not be the Chao Bao Zi itself. Or it might just be Akamatsu reusing models, he probably has a ton of assets sitting around on his computers he can call up when he wants to add an object.

This is definitely Akamatsu's Harem Builder 4.0. Each iteration Akamatsu's tastes "mature" a little. Ken loves Eva and Naru so much, he put them in two harems each.

So, uh, did anyone notice that Touta's friend with the good singing voice looks like Fate? And Fate did have a good singing voice in Negima (that one chapter near the end when they went to karaoke)?

So, the newest chapter's already been translated ahead of time.

The not-Setsuna girl gets introduced in a fanservice-y way, Touta wants to make friends with her (although it sounds like the character is androgynous? Dunno about that) but she's been hired to get rid of Eva and the chapter ends with Eva stabbing her

Oh, and the date's been confirmed to be 2086 so pretty much every Negima character is probably dead except for Mana, possibly Zazie, Ayaka and Asuna if she's still sealed. Unless time travel happens or a flashback.

I think the latter part of what you said is doubtful. Why on earth would Negi be buried with Touta's parents but without whoever he fathered his mom or dad with unless they were still alive?

Well, a clearer shot of one of the gravestones says Negi "died" in 2085. Whether or not that's true is anyone's question (it probably isn't)

I really really want them to be a boy just because UQ Holder having a mainly male core cast would be a big change for Akamatsu.

Definitely one of Setsuna's. Socially awkward, single minded badass swordsman. Also I doubt even Touta could fail to identify a girl from a full frontal view. Definitely a girl raised as a man.
