I'm not so sure about that. It seems to me that Ochiai was probably going to take over whether Tsumugi managed to calm the chimera down or not. Still, it doesn't change the fact that sucker punching him just when someone had managed to calm him down is pretty horrible.

I wouldn't be very surprised if Tsumugi was wary of the captain from now on. And if Tsumugi is wary, Tanikaze would probably be with her.

Just finished reading the manga for this last night, and was amazed at what a total harem series it is. Nihei and Akamatsu should collaborate sometime.

You wonder how much of Sidonia Ochiai is going to destroy now since there is no working counter to the 'superstructure'. Can't see Kobayashi surviving, Ochiai's going to want some revenge for 100 years imprisonment.

Were Ochiai's aims ever clear though, apart from for humans to survive they have to evolve to a higher life form? Does he have to murder all remaining humans to prove his point?

Probably will be resolved in the next few chapters anyway.

Last time he was just going to leave sidonia. He threw away their kabi so that they couldn't chase him down and kill him and because he believed the gauna were attacking sidonia to try and get the kabi. Then his chimera malfunctioned/went berserk and gauna attacked sidonia and everything went to hell.

New chapter and some poo poo is going down. kinda disappointed we didn't get a shot of what the inside of the hull looks like after they shot through it to get at Ochiai. Poor box is getting some abuse. And Chimera-Ochiai looks badass.

Because they are a threat, who know what kind of rear end-kicking stuff will they have in ten million years (And he is a petty fucker).

To expand on this, he was pretty content to leave Sidonia to die and go his own way last time(albeit stealing the Kabi so they wouldn't have a weapon that worked on his then-imperfect Chimera), but that turned out pretty loving badly for him. He's out to clean up the loose ends this time. They have a weapon that can kill him, after all.

When they mentioned the second Graviton Beam Emitter I knew exactly what was going to happen, with a GBE the definition of "Line of Sight" becomes rather malleable. :hellyeah:

I'm not sure Tanikaze is very wise. I doubt he spent the night with the captain but he stood Lala up! Not very healthy standing up a BEAR.

Looks like the overgrown house was a fakeout, guess the weeds grow very quickly. Shaping up to be a Ochiai Vs Type 20 final battle, with all the GBE's off to fight the Gauna.

This is what
Arcane Velocity was like.
That's one expressive fuckin' bear face in the last panel of the chapter.

I wonder why the captain told Tanikaze everything then and there.

I think I'm also a bit confused as to where and why we are right now. I got sidetracked by Ochiai - would someone mind summarizing what was going on around Ochiai that they're now getting back to?

They're setting up for their attack on the huge gauna flagship. During that setup the Captain decided to destroy the second chimera, so Ochiai said gently caress it and sprung his plan early and merged himself with the second chimera and was then driven off. Tanikaze was then kept behind for reasons we don't know yet("Sidonia defense") while everyone else set off to go fight the gauna flagship.

I'm pretty sure Tanikaze was knocked out into a small coma as a result of the whole Ochiai incident and they decided to just go on without him?

Of course we get blueballed about seeing the Type 20. I guess it will have to wait.

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


I don't know what the release schedule is like, but as far as I know it doesn't matter since the series isn't being scanalated as fast as it's being released.

Yeah, pretty much. At the start of the series a single isolated gauna was an existential threat that required scrambling basically the entire Guardian fleet of Sidonia to simply distract it long enough for them to spear it. Since then we've progressed to Sidonia producing battleship fleets and fielding massed swarms of robots with rapid-fire gauna killing cannons.

Isn't the type 20 going to have something like that mega structure stuff built into it?

Too tsundere to drive.
Has there been anyone keeping track of the time pass since the start of the series? It feels like the order of years, but I'm not too sure.

Also what is the deal with the new introducing new characters. Feels like we have a larger cast than all of Nihei's earlier works combined (at least on the protagonist side).

Well his earlier works barely have characters at all, so that's not hard.
