    It's an unfortunate trend.

    Trinity Seven again.

    And that's how you subvert a death flag. Levi trollin' like a fucking boss.

    Argh, no updates for a month, and then twice a week.

    Well. Levi is even more awesome. Those goddamn Magic King Candidates keep popping up way too much, though that's sorta expected. New plain face sword girl goes with Brionac and Fragarach? For some reason, I'm getting Itachi's Susanoo vibe. And I'll be cheering for Liese.

    So, bets on who the Headmaster is? He might be just a normal Headmaster with no mysterious past... right, who am I kidding, he's probably the Magic King in some faux body.

    I just hope the series isn't headed towards a rushed ending, as I get the feeling it might be. Too many high-tier enemes cropping out of the woodwork very quickly. And the Headmaster is obviously Arata's dad. The pimp runs in the bloodline.

    And we have Tower of God!
    A filler chapter really, but with promise of more to come. Much more... (*cue evil laughter*)

    I just want to see what's up with Androssi, though Baam being a boss is always fun too. I have a bad feeling he might be overestimating himself a bit here though, walking into the dragon's maw on his own.

    Overestimating himself? Possibly so. But, you have to remember what SIU said in his author's notes when talking about the One Shot game. It doesn't really matter about your strength; you just have to shoot the other person (remember how Chang was threatening to shoot Akraptor's foot?). And with Viole's ability to stop people, even Rankers for short periods of time, you see that he's got a giant advantage.
    And then there's Cassano, Novick, Horyang and the rest of the team too...

    Team FUG's still going to kick ass.

    I'm more concerned about a certain turtle hunter...

    I'm most concerned about Androssi now, considering where we've seen that pair of eyes that were stalking her in her last appearance. I was rereading a bit, and I came across this. Probably the absolute last person you would ever want to have catch you attempting to do harm to Viole.

    The only similarity I can see is in colour (and even then the eyes behind her are brighter). They're completely different in design, with Karaka's eyes being pretty distinctive. It's technically possible but extremely unlikely. I think it was just a higher level patrol since Androssi broke the jamming when she broke the roof.

    Not to mention if it was Karaka she would either be 100% dead or fine depending on what he wanted, and I don't see why he would bother with a princess and not kill her when he could do it so easily. So yeah, extremely unlikely.

    I was talking about Jinsung, not Karaka. Look at the panel down near the bottom of my link, where Jinsung's body is shadowed as he delivers his whole 'Viole having friends means we have more hostages to use' argument to Karaka, and compare his eyes to the ones behind Androssi. Jinsung's height is about correct too. The only difference is a slight disparity in color, but it's very small.

    And then there were the eyes looking out at Koon while he was running to aid Ja Wangnan...
    SIU has a creepy disembodied eyes' fetish doesn't he?

    Oh what I would give for ToG Ichigo (err...can't remember his name) to meet Viole in Archimedes and call him Baam in front of everybody...
    Probably won't happen- too unsubtle for SIU- but I can hope right?

    EDIT: Jinsung? Perhaps, but what about RED? They already have a history with Androssi and seeing as how Viole's FUG...

    Ah, I see now. Thing is that even linking to a specific picture will still just give you the chapter page. So doing that to point at something won't work so well.

    That said, even more unlikely. Jinsung is a total monster, so if he wanted to harm her, she'd be dead in an instant, not in trouble. The possibility of him showing up is sort of higher, but not under the circumstances you suggested. I think the explosion suggests she's fighting someone or someones, which most likely means patrols.

    Mainly because if it's not patrols, where are the patrols considering she wrecked the jamming and then took one down?

    Well, you are right about that, though I'd say that Androssi vs Karaka and Androssi vs Jinsung are two scenarios in which the Princess would be equally fucked. It probably is just a patrol, but it would certainly be more interesting if it was Jinsung (and he wouldn't necessarily be showing up to kill her).

    Beelzebub 203.

    Still trying to figure out what the deal with Himekawa is. Also I really hate automerge...

    Yeah, seriously, what is he doing? Dunno whether he was just saying that to get rid of Oga or if he's being honest but planning to screw over everyone else.

    Yeah, he's a really confusing guy. I think he's doing this to elevate himself, regardless of which side he ends up on in the end.

    Also, what the fuck is that old guy with the massive mustache doing in high school?

    My thoughts exactly (until Oga punched through the door). New staff or there's gonna be a gag where he shows up as a student.

    He's a Senior (citizen). I guess he's supposed to be the 'Barragan' of this guy's group of 'Espada,' since I'm guessing that's what Tamura is taking the piss out of this month. After all, he just trolled Naruto with the last upstart boss, so now it's Bleach's turn.

    I hope he goes after Shokugeki no Souma too. Make one of the upstarts be killed by Hilda's cooking.

    More twisted then the stripes on a candy cane? Sounds about right...
    As for his motives I think he's going through the classic 'anti-hero' regression. He finds himself working for the protaginist (even if Oga barely qualifies as such) and wants to improve his standing so he goes and joins the bad guys. In the end he realizes that he was better off where he was in the beginning and goes back, probably saving them in a 'redemption moment'.
    Or that's my take on it at least...

    EDIT:

    New chapter of ToG!

    For a minute there I thought Baam might be in trouble...but then he turned up the badass.

    More surprised that he was able to hold his own without any Shinsoo. Obviously that Matrial Arts training was legit Martial Arts training with conditioning and everything as opposed to just learning the Ha's shinsoo reinforcement and techniques.

    Let's not forget the fact that he's a living ignition weapon...
    And was it me or did I see Rak following Koon?
