Weather Report - Stand Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hell, judging by what's ALREADY happened, I wouldn't doubt it. Then again, we'll never get to see it happen judging by how this storyline's coming to a close... then again, I wonder endlessly as to what the next story arc will be. It feels like it'll be the last one, judging by all that's been put into the Magical World story arc... crossing fingers? Placing bets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has to find his father. His father was last seen in Istanbul. Who do we know who apparently has ties with Istanbul? [spoiler=Click only if you really don't know.]In the Kyoto arc, it was stated that Fate came from the Istanbul Magic Association.[/spoiler] Furthermore, Zazie still hasn't had her "important role in the final arc", which was promised [spoiler=Yeah, yeah...]I don't think a few chapters that accomplished very little story-wise count.[/spoiler] On top of that, we still have Pactio Cards used in Japan for promotional purposes that haven't materialized in the story.

Seeing as there was a special logo for chapter 200, I expect this manga to run through to at least 400, and this arc isn't gonna last that long. Alternatively, if he meant by count of major arcs, then he finished the Child Teacher arc, the Kyoto arc and the Mahora Festival arc by that point, so there would be two arcs after the Magical World arc. So yeah, there will likely be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 IDK. But I truly hope this isn't the last arc. And I don't think it will be. Only the second to last. Which is still enough for a cry face smiley. So ;____; But yeah, Chao is cool in that she had the Negi family tree as her greatest weapon. Ku Fei....hot, cute, tan, martial artist with epic attire. Need I say more? Chachamaru is fun. If I didn't love Yue so much, she'd be 3rd. Speakin of, who here was as curious as I was about Chamo-kun's "Negi Love-love chart"?

Wow, we're over 100 ahead of you... :/ At least you're only 6 volumes away from the most epic fight ever. xD Honestly, I always just go read them at the local library or online - I don't have the $400+ CDN needed to get all of the volumes... (honestly, I would pay for them if I could - this manga deserves it) Speaking of which, I saw the raw for 306 (+translated summary) yesterday. Let me get this straight: Out of respect for the two people who just posted and aren't this far yet, I'll put this in a spoiler. [spoiler=Current Situation for both Ala Alba and Cosmo Entelechia] [b]Ala Alba[/b] Negi - KO'd, partially self-petrified (un-healable) Asuna - With Fate, performing the ritual, probably in a crystal again Haruna - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Konoka - Going to fight Fate Fei - Going to fight Fate Setsuna - Losing to Tsukuyomi Evangeline - Unable to help, at Mahora Nodoka - Going to fight Fate Yue - Presumably heading towards either Fate or back to the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Kaede - Going to fight Fate Kotarou - Presumably heading towards either Fate or back to the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Chachamaru - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Chisame - Going to fight Fate Kazumi - Presumably heading towards either Fate or back to the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Sayo - Presumably heading towards either Fate or back to the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Yuuna - Going to fight Fate Ako - Going to fight Fate Makie - Going to fight Fate Akira - Going to fight Fate Luna - Next course of action unknown, barely hit by Demon Negi, dropped disguise Mana - Stalling Poyo Cocone - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Johnny - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Mei - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Takane - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Misora - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Collet - Repairing the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Natsumi - Presumably heading towards either Fate or back to the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Beatrix - Presumably heading towards either Fate or back to the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny Anya - Presumably heading towards either Fate or back to the Great Paru-sama and Flying Manta Johnny [b]Cosmo Entelechia[/b] Tetrium - Performing ritual with Asuna, 1 hour and 34 minutes remain Dynamis - Sliced in half, still alive, no longer fighting "Homura" - With Dynamis, no longer fighting Brigette - Unknown "Koyomi" - With Dynamis, no longer fighting "Tamaki" - With Dynamis, no longer fighting Poyo - Fighting Mana Unknown Hooded Dude - Unknown ...It appears that Ala Alba is screwed over unless Natsumi is heading in Fate's direction and lends Kaede her artifact. All other scenarios result in an automatic loss unless Negi wakes up. >___< [/spoiler] Updated the OP with the name of the third main language used to cast spells - Sanskrit. The only other language used so far is Archaic/Ancient Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugboy Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I think that Negi will be revived though some method involving pactio(s). [spoiler='spoiler']My reasoning Magica Erebea is a spell that feeds off the user's body and soul. It's been established that Konoka cannot heal him with her powerful healing spells so it must mean that his soul has had the most damage. Pactios are contacts between individuals who each have a soul. So theoreticly, Negi has his soul connected to each person he has an active pactio with.

burnpsy Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 slugboy, it looks like they're just letting Negi recover on his own. In any case, it looks like this week's chapter is, as expected, everyone planning on their new course of action. I should've figured that Natsumi's artifact wouldn't help here, but I also think the plan they ultimately decided on is far too reckless. Also, I didn't expect [spoiler=Two Things About Cosmo Entelechia Revealed In This Chapter] The "chibi-mage" to be a girl, or Fate having a second task - reviving someone who we can only assume is the Lifemaker. Akamatsu sure knows how to completely mess with the readers. I can only assume that this means the girls will successfully save Asuna on their own and Negi will have to fight the Lifemaker.

While the anime remains silly throughout its run, the manga does a complete 180 around the 100th Chapter mark and becomes a solid series with a detailed and well-written plot (which you need the first 100 chapters to understand xD). The large amount of "silliness" which you noticed, was merely a ruse to trick his bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnpsy Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Dropped to page 2 from a lack of stuff to discuss, but there's this image from Akamatsu's collaboration with Monster Hunter Portable 3rd that was [b]confirmed to be a story spoiler[/b]. [spoiler=Rather Important Change] [center][IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/1043lnk.jpg[/IMG][/center] I'm sure most of the people whom are keeping up can figure this out, but that's Asuna's sword with a Dark Magic power-up. Apparently, the name of the sword will also be changing from "Hama no Tsurugi" to "Hōma no Tsurugi". [/spoiler] Surely this will get some sort of discussion rolling?

There's apparently going to be one from Inu Yasha as well. In any case, the darkness thing has some interesting possible implications such as how Negi may get out of his current state, and a possible side-effect of his dark magic spamming. It just seems pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugboy Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have finally caught up and have an idea about the little mage. [spoiler='spoiler']I think that it is just possible in some way for Evangeline to be tied to Fate's group. My main reason is that one of Fate's subordinates commented that the small cloaked mage was sometimes like a child, sometimes like an adult woman. Also Fate recognized the cloaked mage, he and Eva met in the Kyoto arc, if before the story. As to how she could get to the magical world, the last gateport is at mahora acadamy and her curse may not prevent her from using it. Dynamis also commented that Magea Erebea is "a technique descended from the works of his master" and we know that Evangeline created it. [/spoiler] I also have thoughts about what happens next. [spoiler='next (spoiler)'] I think that since the Great Grand Master Key is in the hands of Nodoka of Ala Alba, there will be a reversal shortly out of Ala Alba's favor, maybe an unexpected appearence or another demoralizing event.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
