Copypasting some context here for the nerds that are interested.

大好き/daisuki
好き/suki
愛/ai

All of them can be translated as "love".... these last chapters must have been a lovely pain in the rear end to translate. :heh:

For those who are interested:
愛: Kiriee, Kurou, Santa and Ikku
好き: Yukihime, Shinobu
大好き: Karin and the rest

UQ holder is Akamatsu with creative freedom. Dude obviously loves both harem comedies and flashy fights. I'm kind of curious why Kirie is working at the inn though, since she is supposed to be the money maker for uqh.

I believe that along with the lot of them, all of them working at the inn is punishment for going to Dana. Or something similar to that.

That's not the breakdown I would have expected. Isn't "ai" supposed to be the one closest to what we really think of as deep love?

I guess Touta really is just a child at heart who really does love everyone (except Mizore).

As far as I can tell, yes. "Ai" is also the way to say love in Chinese, and uses the same hanzi as the Japanese kanji used to write it, so there's that as well.

IIRC it's 'pure' love. The selfless kind and blah blah. IIRC 'suki' is more generic, with 'dai' being an intensifier (literally 'big'). So if I had to take guess he's throwing 'ai' at the ones he sees at family and then a more romantic one for Shinobu and Yukihime and then he kinda got drunk and went "I love you! And I love YOU! I loving LOVE ALL OF YOU!" on Karin and the rest.

But that's just a guess.

Unless there's multiple instances of wrestling (and it's the bible so that's not exactly impossible), wasn't that an angel?

Okay with this. The two endings I wanted from Negima were Chisame and Eva, after all

Also, drat. Seeing "kitty" must be really weird for him on some level.

Springfield gene confirmed.

Also, the Yukihiro School has an undressing technique? Guess Ayaka really did learn a lot from Negi, although I guess his were technically accidental magical overcharges of his disarming spells.

Hopefully we'll get to the actual Mahora tournament soon, if Eva is bringing it up again.

Historically, Japan did mixed sex public bathing, during which as far as I can tell the general attitude was "who cares." I would guess sort of like cultures where women go topless, no one finds it sexy.

Then it got westernized and, while public bathing is still big there, it's now segregated by sex. It was a gradual process, with more traditional establishments remaining mixed sex for longer, but now mixed bathing is pretty much gone. As far as I can tell all the jokes and fetishization of mixed bathing pretty much happened after it stopped actually being a thing.

My memory of the Negima ending is sketchy, was Negi being imprisoned by the Mage of the Beginning something that happened in the "first" ending or the lame "second" one where Asuna was brought back? Or was it neither?

gimme the GOD DAMN candy
Jul 1, 2007
Neither. After the ending of Negima he went after the mage of the beginning, beat him, got trapped like what happened to Nagi. What happened to Nagi is unclear. At the very least, it doesn't seem like that epilogue chapter where the girls met ala rubra happened. The fact that Asuna wasn't present for that one immortal-hating dude's flashback is rather telling, too.

Oh yeah wasn't Negima ending #1 that he was, like, dead dead? So UQ Holder is some sort of third timeline I guess.

Or he's going to die. Negima ending #1 was considerably further in the future than UQ Holder (so far, at least. They are immortal after all.)

I guess if Asuna isn't sealed in this timeline she could have died of natural causes. She is negi's great-great-great-etc aunt, but I figure they just kept her in stasis until she was needed as a weapon. She aged normally once she got away from the lovely destroyed magic kingdom.
