>Fortuna's face in the last panel
Always cracks me up
>>139308820
Older Fortuna looks awesome
>>139308820
Wait, Rune didn't do anything. Did she?
>>139309237
She answered when Fuuta called, thereby giving Fortuna a point of reference and an incarnation he could hijack.
>>139310437
no. stop.
>>139310398
Didn't they lose those as well in Houtarou's life?
anyone unaware that the final chapter has been out and scanlated (roughly) here you go

>>139311570
>the 3 mercs that caught Houtarou at the beginning
pottery
>>139311665
I love this part.
>>139312056
Did Spascifica appear before?
>>139312084
Yes, in between lives, just as a Fortuna-is-mysterious thing.
>>139310706
Yep. Fuuta's brand is to mark him out for his crimes while Koko's scar is supposed to be a reminder of her own "warrior spirit". So I suppose their missing limbs in this life is supposed to represent the peace they came to in Houtarou's life.
>>139308639
>Fools demand explanations from wise men as it if it were natural, but it's a different skill set.
Top smug.
>>139312855
;_;
>>139312467
>he felt so guilty over getting drunk that he refused to drink in his next life
Damn
>>139313211
Holy fuck, I never noticed that
God damn it Mizukami, why is everything so tightly knit
>>139311703
Tsukiko!
>>139312524
>Yucatan peninsula making shoes
So many other lives we haven't even seen
>>139313434
Wasn't that Fone?
>>139313434
I think that's the first one.
>>139313263
That's not all, Lafalle/Houtarou offered him a drink on a whim, but from the monk's perspective it looks like Houtarou is blaming him for getting drunk on the job.
So is he done or is there another chapter coming?
>>139313740
the manga just finished, probably an epilogue coming with the tankubon
>>139313577
I don't know if the monk would think that of Houtarou.
>>139314033
Sick paneling with the room surrounded by his silhouette.
>>139314240
>more advanced, healthier, richer humans refusing to have kids and causing population disaster
Is this the first time Mizukami's done social commentary?
>>139314135
>>139314240
>>139314273
>>139314328
>dumps all this setting into an arc that's only a few chapters long
Guy likes his setting building, I'll give him that.I like it too.
>>139314328
wow that's Kouko's father / Vann's officer
>>139314419
It's the longest arc. Best-paced too I think.
>>139314409
Social inspiration, maybe. Thinking about what people and societies could be is one of the fun things about setting building.
Besides, from what Fortuna said, it's not clear that the population decline is caused by that.
>>139314531
I love how Mizukami lets his characters be wrong and trusts us to figure that out.
>>139313940
he already feels guilty, it's posible
I started rereading from the beginning after I saw this thread, and since the other thread is autosaging I thought it would best to post this here.
>>139315138
There's a page where Fuuta realizes that.
>>139315177
Really?
Oh well.
>>139315098
>>139315139
I'd forgotten this scene. Iwana sure became smiley.
I also realized Houtarou never drank with his old drinking buddy, the monk, in this life.
>wait to have a drink with your soul's drinking buddy
>he drinks it all without giving you any
I am going to sleep, if these stop being posted it's because my router reset or whatever and my pass is no longer being recognized. See you in the morning.
>>139315627
see you anon, thanks
>>139315627
Thank you anon
Hmm, seems like it did break?
What extension to mass post like this while asleep?
I know you can 4chanx and just open a shitload of post windows, but that takes along time to set up
>>139316630
I'm not the same anon. I'm using 4chanx.
Anyone else in the thread still besides me and anon taking over for OP?
If you guys want to tweet Mizukami I don't think he knows English too good fyi, but the last time I told him SC was taking off in the Anglosphere (pre-crunchy license) he seemed jazzed just to know it's appreciated, so he might like to hear from you anyway.
>>139316818
I want to sleep but I've got to honor a dump of my favorite manga.
>>139316818
Still here
Thanks for the work guys
>>139316818
Nobody here but us chickens
>>139308400
>Mutant Fused Scholar Priest = Antagonist
There was a recap in Sengoku Youko that described Jinka as the protagonist of part one and the antagonist of part 2 and was trying to hype up a conflict between thousand-tailed Jinka and Senya the thousand demon.
Yeah that's not exactly how it goes but hey.
>>139316849
What's his twitter?
>>139316933
Read the OP.
>>139316964
Haha, got me. Thanks bud!
>>139316923
and there's the woman that helped Vann raise Rei
>>139311632
Oh. They were there too? I only remembered them as Sphinx's assistants.
>>139317263
was Flor's son in any other time besides this?
>>139316919
It was a mistranslation. Also, when you think scholar priest and antagonist who else does that fit but Yazen?
>>139301333
>o I guess Fortuna is the biggest threat in the Mizukamiverse since the DMs had to pull off:
>a.) the earth's spirit taking physical form
>b.) extraterrestrial beings
In Psycho Staff to deal with the main threat, the following forces were used:
a.) a man described as being like a god of the land
b.) extraterrestrial beings
Anyways apparently not all aliens are created equal. Some are weird slightly abstract Stanislaw Lem/Arthur C Clarke/etc things and some of them are cute as hell
>>139317355
I don't think so.
>>139317068
So that's fortuna's influence? Or his own?
>>139317543
Fortuna's.
>>139316156
Best couple.
I just marathoned the series, damn it was good. That part with thehandshakes across the timelinesmade me teary-eyed.
I will say that I'm not a fan of theliteral deus ex machina ending though.
>>139317849
This arc is what pushed this series to masterpiece to me. It does so many things well across the board, I mean the premise is great but the execution of the past lives interconnecting is nearly flawless. But this arc is so out there and could easily be it's series it makes the whole thing transcend great.
>>139317909
Stupid sexy Stona.
>>139317637
>that gun model
Odd, they actually created a prototype gun that opens like a cell phone similar to that.
>>139317794
;____; dammit Lafalle all you had to do was talk to your waifu
>>139317918How was that Deus ex Machina? Everything was forshadowed
>>139318053
As fucking usual
My god he still blindsides me
;_;
>>139318053The part with the aliens wasn't so much foreshadowed as lampshaded. It took place before the actual ending, but was so out-of-place, blatant, and unconnected to the rest of the lives that it can't be called foreshadowing.
>>139318302
Well, yeah. It wasliterally gods intervening, as you pointed out. But I don't think it's really unconnected to the themes that Mizukami runs with. Namely, a high level of supernaturalism, multiple lives and universes, planet spirits, and becoming gods.
Having literal megabeings behind things is just an additional hint on how the multiverse works. At a depth we likely won't reach, usually. But Fortuna forced their hand.
>>139318302
It was however hinted that there were greater beings watching the situation with stakes in the story i.e Spascifica and it turned out both the aliens and space ghost were their avatars. The rebirth cycle also explained that spirits evolve as they reincarnate so it was established that human souls would eventually become something greater.
>>139318370
Yes. He "failed."
>>139317450It was definitely intentional on Ash's part, no thanks to his stupid complex.
>>139318302I mean there's a fucking reincarnation cycle, I think that there were gods and that they would need to intervene has been in play for a while. It was the best endings but it was still pretty awesome.
>>139318492
>I mean there's a fucking reincarnation cycle
>I mean there's a fucking circle of spirits
Last one.
>>139318447
Ha! I hadn't picked up on that possibility with that "compared to you". If he still hasn't let go of his grudge after that many lives, he'll be a total pain in the ass in Fuuta's life too.
Of course, he may have just fucked up. I'm not sure he'd really try and slaughter the entire planet just due to some resentment of Lafalle. He showed a lot of control in this life compared to the earlier ones.
Fuck i want a robo cat
>>139318398
>>139318413
>>139318492A good non deus-ex ending would've been like the anon pointed out, if the gods were in fact just further reincarntions of humans that have reincarnated so many times they transcended humanity.
>>139318616
It seems like they might be, it's a little ambiguous.
>>139318616
They might be. But really, it's not on a level we'd expect Fuuta to have access to. It would be too much to expect all the answers from his dream.
>>139318616
Well Earth looks like Kouko and and Wind looks Fuuta. Both of them had rock and wind motifs to their various names as well. Plus Fuuta was muttering out "Thank you" after waking from the cosmic D&D session.
>>139318589
I mean it may have just been a subconscious thing, but it definitely wasn't an accident.
>>139318583
Thanks for the dump anons!
>>139318413
The aliens were kind of out of left field and I don't think they are explained very well. It's admittedly not a big leap to presume they were just pieces on the board from one of the supreme beings in the last chapter, but that still kind of sucks insofar as it runs counter to one of the big themes of the whole comic (and one Mizukami's major themes in general imo): Your fate doesn't rule what you have to do, and even if it does, you can still meet it on your own terms.
>>139318598
Hang on. A time travelling robot cat... Where have I seen that before?
>>139318692
Nah, I'm with the other anon, if he was still that pissed off at Lafalle he could have easily just let him die in that accident. He was working on his anger and wouldn't have toasted himself and most of the world just to get at him.
>>139318707
original idea do not steeel
>>139318692
Why not? It's not like Flambe is known for competence and success.
>>139318698
By the way, thanks Duralumin
>>139318698
>Your fate doesn't rule what you have to do, and even if it does, you can still meet it on your own terms.
But that still held up in the final conflict. The difference between the timelines they saw and lived through split with the babies. Fortuna would have gone on to win if that hadn't shaken him up and gave Fuuta and his past lives the will to fight back. With the way things were going the butterfly net would have been ignored if that hadn't happened.
>>139318707
In Fuuka's life
>>139318802
Oh wait. Fortuna would have died with Fuuta but it's still their will being the deciding factor.
>>139318689
Fuuta talking like he's still Houtarou is the parallel I remember. So yeah, saying the exact same line as Wind Fuuta is a good sign that they're the same.
>>139318698
I think aliens fits well the the "big multiverse" feel to the story. Other living things would have a stake in something as big as what Fortuna was doing, so naturally they'd interfere.
And if the Wind Fuuta/Okeya Fuuta parallel is right, then Fuuta's still ruling what is done. Just indirectly.
>>139318698
Aliens giving Fuuta a key tool isn't really fate. But it does mean bigger things can be key to how your life turns out.
But that's been true for a while in this story. Plagues killing you, spirit circles killing you, black hole bombs killing you, Tokugawa killing you.
>>139318698
I think that another them of his world (not so much his works) is that the universe balances itself, and that was the cosmic beings helping Fuuta make his own fate.
>>139318583
Thanks for dumping, next chapter is one of my favorites!
Handshake WebM?
>>139319098
nono a best
So Lafelle was best past life right?
>>139308723
How naive, my little Fortuna.
>>139319146
No that would be Hotarou, Lafalle is a good 3rd though.
>>139319146
Lafalle > * >= Flors > Fuuko
Flors is too low energy a life for me, though that can't be helped. And Fuuko was really just a way to get the aliens and bugcatcher net in there.
You guys think I should post the Woods Runner-script version of the final chapter here or make a new thread?
>>139319098
Not a webm but here's what I made.
>>139319265
Good
>>139319265
no need to make a new thread, we had 3 spirit circle threads already, you can post it here or tomorrow when anon starts dumping again
>>139319146
Fone's life has simplicity and intensity. Stona's story adds a bit of extra depth to the setting.
Vann's life has a long comfy progression with his friends. The medicine woman adds a little twist to his fall.
Flors is not Vann with no friends, but Fortuna with no genius. Roca still gets screwed.
Houtarou is the short reconciliation life. Seems like it would have been a fun life if they lived longer. But it leads directly into Lafalle's life so yeah.
Not my favorite part. It's feel stagnant? stale?
>>139319484
Well they are working adults in an advanced society.
If the intrigue, history, and non-living problem don't grab you, that's all there is to them.
>>139319542
It's the lack of tragedy that bores me.
Vann, Sphinx, and Houtaro has really delicious tragedy. Lafalle and Lapis' fight doesn't have enough intensity to it.
You know, there's some backlashing on Fuuko's arc due to the obvious stuff, as in "not a big battle", apparently plain and it being short...
But the Fuji Roof scares me to death. The whole concept of her dimension being arguably affected by Lafalle dimension's black hole bomb in the form of a hole that is beyond explanations, it just IS, gives me shivers. It feels like nightmares when you become aware but can't wake yourself up.
The whole matter being unexplainable with both roof and the aliens but the immensely eerie, omnious atmosphere give it some hidden depth that makes me think of it as one of my favorites. I'd even say almost as high as Lafalle's.
>>139319594
>the immensely eerie, omnious atmosphere
The chapter started with the narration that the Fuji Roof was so normal now that no one's even interested in it.
>>139319583
>>139319484
Fug you guys. I was happy to see Fortuna and Koko reconcile as Lafalle and Lapis, only to have them end up fighting again. It brought a sense of satisfaction that finally after 2 lifetimes (since Roca) that they managed to stop killing themselves only to have everything tumble down due to Lafalle's lack of communication.
Its easy to relate with Lafalle's feelings of shouldering the burden, but its sad that he couldn't share the burden with his waifu and instead give his brother access to weapons. Even if the terrorists did managed to complete the black hole bomb at the very least LL could have a happy ending if only Lafalle talked to Lapis about his troubles.
>>139319594
The Fuji Roof isn't the black hole bomb effect. I went back and it shows up when the aliens did--300 years ago. It's the alien ship.
>>139319660
In some ways that can help with the eerie feeling, that there's something so strange but people don't pay attention to it any more.
>>139319660
It's normal now to people living there. This is a known phenomena where we get used to things and consider them normal.
Are we, readers, living there? No. So it's not normal to us.
>>139319709
Fair enough. Took me a couple of new reads to catch. I was biased because it was just after Lafelle's.
Omake fun facts: I came very very close to writing Rune to sound like Harley Quinn but I passed out after the first draft and decided she
was okay as is after sobering up
Glass probably should have been Grass because Daiki's naming theme is usually something to do with trees but I just couldn't take it seriously
>>139320013
man, don't even make me think that there'll be no more Rune's runes to hope for...
>>139320013
oh god those were terrible ideas. Thankfully you didn't. Too bad you had to put your stuff on batoto, now its gone
>>139320013
Is that the reason you went with Flantyr instead of Frontier? I remember searching up the kana in my dictionary and it returned "frontier"
>>139318052
This.
Laffale's arc is the most agonizing for me
I don't want it to end.
>>139320120
Soz bruh the outro sting on 45 says it all. Unless they want to surprise us, that's the end, if I read it correctly.
There is mention that Mizukami will be discussing his preparations for a new manga in the next of a series of interview articles in Young King Ours that I've ignored up til now but will probably have to check out now in case there's juicy intel.
>>139320195
Every line I wrote in Vann's arc, I asked myself: What Would Final Fantasy Tactics Do? And then I usually did that. So yes I basically went for it because it sounded cool. I absolutely did agonize on the relation of the name to Fuuta's "wind" theme but after a bunch of unsuccessful googling resigned myself to just copying the sound.
>>139320313
Don't worry anon. It probably hasn't even started in your next life yet.
>>139320313
Embrace the end, so that the feeling can be reborn. Its what this arc is trying to tell
>>139320341
I thought Vann was the wind name. Figured it was some european corruption of Ventus.
I did notice some of your lines were a bit off nuance-wise but I think you did a pretty bang up job with the past lives' dialogue style.
>>139320341
Thank you for doing spirit circle. Its been an enjoyable ride.
Part 6 tomorrow?
>>139320403
If it matches up then I got lucky, I tried a half dozen spellings, looked at them on a page and picked the one that looked the least stupid.
The historical tone of Vann's dialog is largely a result of Vann's character setting the tone for his whole arc, especially his dedication to ceremony and the ideal of knighthood. Compare to Houtarou who isn't all that removed in a historical context but the dialog of him and his contemporaries is usually written a LOT differently.
Out of the half-dozen or so authors I've translated in my bootleg career, Mizukami dialog is by far the most nuanced and tricky but got damn is it good.
>>139308318
>that OP
You faggots need to stop with this general shit.
>>139320313
It never ends.
>>139319366
Alright, I'll post it here if the thread is still alive by the time I'm done.
>>139320558
The series just ended cut them some slack
>>139320629
It's not even a general.
Is it back to back? No.
Does anyone criclejerk? No
Is there's a new material to talk about? Yes.
It's just some fuccboi from /qa/ trying to false flag.
>>139320629
>>139320660
There is no need of a spirit circle general
This isn't even a general, that guy is out of his mind
>>139320558
I'm sorry, but this dude is right. At this point, it's pretty obvious to tell which fanbases actually have integrity.
>>139320706
I agree, but this is not one. It's a thread commemorating the end of Spirit Circle.
If after OP finish posting the rest of SC some fuckwit continue making a general, I'll help you shitpost them.
But this is like when Hox finish his Sangokushi translation and to commemorate it some anon start posting the manga to celebrate it.
>>139320750
Ignoring the problem only leads to a bigger problem later on. That's why /a/ has a reputation for being hostile compared to other boards. The OP is very obviously trying to start another shitty unneeded general. At least it won't get anywhere because no one cares, but the mods really need to take care of people like this. Generals were banned once and should be banned again.
>>139320718
the OP literally looks like /co/ generals
>>139320815
Nobody cares because everybody here knows its a dump, its in the bloody title, what the hell are you even saying?
>>139320905
And it literally takes one scroll down to see its a dump.
Holy shit, I know generals are cancer, but mods really need to take care of people that can't read the thread and is trying to start shit out of nothing
>>139320718
>This isn't even a general
literally has all the points that make a general
thread "edition" statement
link to last thread
tons of youtube links
advertisements
twitter link, tumblr link
>>139321001
Some fag is clearly trying to push another general here.
>>139321015
>literally has all the points that make a general
Literally takes one scroll to see its a dump. Again, what the hell are you on about?
Ctrl+f "edition", you're the only one using it. Literally.
Having a link to the last thread in a series dump? Oh no, its not like manga are continuous right?
Youtube links are just thread music
Advertisements and links to support and contact the author. Have you never ever supported the creator of your hobbies? Ever?
I think the biggest question is: Have you ever been in a dump thread your entire time here? Because literally up till the end, it was just an anon dumping and other people commenting and discussing.
Read the thread, literally.
>>139321147
While in general his argument is idiotic, the 'edition' thing in specific really needs to go away.
>>139320335
I shouldn't be laughing at this.
>>139318546
Why was she so flustered here again?
>>139321545
Rune?
Because he was about to experience another life when he shouldn't.
>>139321545
She's panicking about Fuuta meeting Fortuna
Buddhist manga are cool!
>>139318140
What did he mean? Was he being influenced by Fortuna? But Fortuna himself said that it had no bearing on the birthrate, just that this period wasn't favored.
Was the reason why he didn't discuss anything with Lapis due to their differing beliefs?
Also, was he purposely missing Lapis with the gun until the very final moment?
>>139320628
Any progress?
>>139322386
I kinda got caught up trying to clean the pages so I'll probably post them tomorrow, sorry.
>>139316630
I'm not OP but that's what I do when I story time.
>>139318707
What are you talking about?
>>139315553
Hey there, Nono
>>139320553
Oh, hey there Duralumin! Thanks for picking up this series 4 years ago. I've been reading it since chapter 1 was translated.
>>139317665
>Fortuna's
Just a small sentence and he made the guy a super mass murderer
>>139320478
Probably a little later in the night than usual unless someone else starts it.
>>139321062
Nope, gonna dump Part Eight: Fuuta on Friday, cry a little and be done with it. It's too special to try and stretch.
>>139320553
Your translation of Vann's life is what pushes the series into my GOAT list. Thank you.
>>139316630
4chanx. You can drag-select images in the choose-file dialog.
Also thanks anons for finishing.
>>139314657
I've seen porn doujins with this premise.
>Spirit Circle over
>missed three good Spirit Circle threads too>Sengoku Youko looks to be reaching the finale
FUCK
>>139320553
>>139325475
>Your translation of Vann's life is what pushes the series into my GOAT list. Thank you.
This right here, it added so much to the arc and made it that much more immersive, thanks for going the extra mile.
>>139325952
Me too. Pissed me off I skipped Vann, Spinx, and Houtarou.
>>139325952
I don't know it kinda indicated there will be a few more chapters left
>>139318583
Didnt think the thread would be up. Thank you anon
Is the final chapter translated?
>>139329768
Threads are cool, but the faggot OP needs to stop pushing a general.
>>139320313
>>139320350
I promise I'll reincarnate into this time period to experience this story again guys. See you all then!
>>139318844
>>139324079
Are people just pretending to be retarded, or do they really not know about fucking Doraemon?
>>139319098
That kiss seems pretty forced. I mean what has fuuta done to make her like him?
>>139320313
Everything must end at some point. Lafalle understood that.I started reading Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer a few years ago and it got me hooke on all of Mizukami's work. Can't wait for the next mind blowing project.
>>139330531
Are his works popular in Japan? I always get the feeling it's only popular in the west with how none of them get anime adaptions and all.
>>139330500
Did you read the manga at all? Her attraction to him was obvious less than a dozen chapters in
>>139330605
He made her blush from embarrassment sometimes. I don't remember anything close to love.
>>139330182
Do you even know what a general is?
>>139330594
Hoshi no Samidare is popular enough to get voted the number one manga that people want to see an anime adaption.
http://news.nicovideo.jp/watch/nw2065350
>only popular in the west
Didn't the English localize version of Biscuit Hammer sell horribly?
>>139330388
I think most people on /a/ don't know.
>>139330689
are you a harem protag, anon-kun

>Lack of tragedy
>The world fucking ends
I almost cry when robocat appeared in Fuuko's life, meaning Carol was alive.
>>139334494
It was more of a thriller-style tragedy. When Flambe told Lafalle about black hole bombs, that was terrific tension, but the world suddenly ending right when it shouldn't wasn't as close to the heart as Flors dying alone.
I'm not that anon, I loved the Lafalle arc, though Vann's still my favorite.
>>139334769
The guy became mega-hitler for "the right cause" only for it not to matter in the end.
lived just long enough to see himself become a villain, then died horribly, I think that's tragic enough imo
>>139334914
But the camera didn't linger. We got a lot of worldbuilding but very little on either side of the living/dead debate, and from our perspective outside of his life it didn't seem to matter much.
>>139334769
though I agree
Vaan = Houtaro > Lafalle > Fortuna > Fuuta > Fuuko > Fone > Sphinx
>>139334494
Why did Carol send her robot to take pictures of her dad as a girl?
>>139335130
Because it's the only universe that Carol (Nono) was able to fuck her dad in.
>>139334990
>from our perspective outside of his life it didn't seem to matter much
A million is a statistic, Fortuna?
>>139335239
Exactly. We're not in Lapis' head much, and we don't really see them as sleeping humans, just as corpses. We're with Lafalle thinking they're an abomination and probably the end of the human race. The tragedy from his point of view is Lapis turning against him.
>>139335307
Sounds like you need a few more reincarnations, mate.
>>139335239
>take good care of love
Fucking Fuuko arc is the biggest cocktease, I need to know who she ends up with. I'd rather Mizukami's extra tankoubon chapter be a shoujo style Fuuko chapter than an epilogue.
>>139335307
Carol didn't even trust Lapis enough to tell her about her breakthrough research into quantum mechanics. Lapis one of the "science has gone far enough" conservatives I bet. Freakin red state cunt.
>>139335307
you know that the first time he was asked the question "is the unliving alive?" he answered yes like it was obvious
Hell he came to the place to visit his unliving family
the same unliving family that HE killed despite his promise that he would protect them.
>>139335239
>Flors thanking the wife that refused to love him and thought of another man the single time she allowed him to fuck her
Seriously, Flors. It's okay to be a lil mad.
>>139334914
>mega-hitler
100 million people is referred to as a "Stalin."
>>139335604
He changed his mind. He was trying to protect them from being brains in jars, to release them so that humanity could thrive again. Spascifica even wanted him to do it.
I think that might be a plot hole, along with Umi and Flambe having flame names; I bet Rune and East were added later, and originally the other two had larger parts.
It's been a while since I read something this good.
Too bad nono will die.
>>139335604
Character development. He learned new information too. Just because he doesn't believe in Santa anymore doesn't make him a hypocrite.
Besides, the gods wanted him to destroy the towers, that's why they sent Spascifica, who had been trying to guide the directors into reaching Lafalle's conclusion for generations.
>>139335695
Mega-hitler is also known as Shinji Kari.
>>139335793
Of a broken heart. She'll get over it and fuck Flors' grandson though.
>>139335757
Their names correspond to the respective God that rolled their characters.
Rune = Rock
East = wind?
>>139336000
Doesn't mean she can't look after their kids.
>>139335793
Nah, in the future everyone will be muslims so he can marry them both.
I wonder who's glasses' crush though
>>139336097

>>139336176
So much that she made Flors life shit.
>Fuuta fucking spies on the gods of trillions of multiverses casually during REM sleep
So much latent power. Props dude.
If Fortuna had succeeded and ate the universe would he just appear on top of their table like "lol wtf"?
>>139336378
In how many other universes Fortuna would have actually succeed with eating the universe?
>>139336378
>Fortuna standing on the table like, "hey...sup"
>>139336947
0, that's the whole point of what they're doing. Fortuna is an outlier, an anomaly that required divine intervention.
Which makes Fortuna fucking based. Out of TRILLIONS of universes, he caused GODS, LITERAL GODS, to experience something they had never seen before.
>>139337067
I got the idea the entire thing was something they were trying out, not something they were trying to stop. Now that they're done playing around as mortals it's time to go smack Animus down.
>>139337246
Him saying "thanks for the good work" and "next we'll have to take care", so I think it's something they were trying to stop. Also I think those are just the 4 beings all souls originate from so it's technically EVERYONE's past/future lives. That's why they're calling people their "children". Like Fuuta/Mutant fused scholar priest (Senya/Jinka?)/Animus would be wind's children.
>>139336231
That wasn't the opinion of Flors or Fuuta.
Coincidence or keikaku?
>>139337509
It's mine and a bunch of other readers I'd imagine. Fuuta can take it because protagonists don't care about being cucked.

Nau is like the water god's dog thingy. I bet each one of them has dog thingys, but only the wind dude's appeared because it'd be too obvious otherwise.

I don't want to think about what this ugly nigger looked like.
This is better than biscuit hammer.
There, I said it.
>>139338652I agree
>>139338652
That's been said plenty of times.
>>139338652
The (main) characters weren't as good and the romance wasn't as satisfying. The final battle felt less imperative and exciting, but I supposed that's part of the whole deal.
But other than those aspects I agree, since the plot, writing, and worldbuilding were able to overcome those in excess.
>>139339304
The climax wasn't the final battle, it was Fuuta's lecture to Fortuna. We went from a boy being thrust into a fantastic situation to its reversal, where he scorns the most fantastic of his past selves for lacking the balance and simplicity he now possesses; he always liked his life, but now he knows exactly why.
That's why the final battle wasn't much. Because there wasn't much left to fight about.
>>139339463
I know, I'm not talking about the climax, but the short battle itself felt less cool then similar scenes in Biscuit Hammer.
Like hoola-hoop fighting will probably never be cool. UQ Holder is trying but i don't know..

>>139340474
>implying
>>139340474
She said if Fuuta wanted to just stay with Nono he could, largely because she was confident enough that he would go after her.
>>139340408
Nono's true husband is Flors' grandson.
>>139334494
Too impersonal.
Sphinx's tragedy wasn't of great importance to the world, but it still pull my heart string.
>>139340408
I bet the epiloge will be Fuuta married to Kouko, having twins and calling them a japanese version of east and rune.
>>139340601
Nah it was because Kouko's soul is a self-hating loner. She's a big fan of the "as long as someone can make him happy, that's enough for me" mentality.
>>139340647

>>139340656
Whatever floats your boat anon
Is sengoku youko translations caught up? Last time I read it was 10-20 chapters behind with no signs of progress.
>>139340647
Lafalle's end was more about suspense than tragedy.
After the world ends so abruptly you end wondering what happened, and they connecting the dots with the hints in other lives was masterfully done.
Flors was a sad individual and his life was tragic but it ended then and there, Lafalle's life was more important in the gand scheme of things.
>>139341018
Someone made a pickup translation group with Vexed and a couple anons, they're moving right along.
>>139341028
And Houtarou's tragedy was a different kind altogether. Pretty neat stuff.

>>139345546
That's very noble of you, but if you guys end up doing a minimalistic release, I will still love you.
>>139342980
There was a side comment on the last page that might or not be an indication of him working in a new project.
>>139345716
Those are more like small references or easter eggs. I think it would be more interesting if it turns out all of this was set up for his last work that somehow connects all the stories together in a way that makes sense.
>>139346251
>if it turns out all of this was set up for his last work
Are you banking on him offing himself to rejoin the stream of souls?
>>139346251
>>139347061
I trust him to keep layering stuff as he pleases
I mean just look at the world that Sanjin Sadou takes place in.
>>139345398
This dude would've been arrested for her murder.
"I confessed to her and she fell backwards in surprise into the oncoming train" = "She rejected me and I pushed he onto the tracks" to a police officer.
>>139346251
SY is already directly connected to a few of his short stories
>>139345248
Just the usual curse. I'm actually surprised Psycho Staff was translated in one go.

>>139349155
>Can they just fuck already?
Fuuta sort of already proposed to her. They'll fuck as soon as they meet after Fuuta gets into Toudai but Koko doesnt.
Though we wont see that until June where we assume the tankoban will have the epilogue.

It's also my favorite. I'll miss SC
>>139349277
>Japanese people
>Fucking immediately
>Ever
Honestly, Rune and East will be lucky to be born by the time they reach 30.
I mean at the rate they've been going (adopted a kid together, held hands on a mountain, kissed) perhaps Spascifica realized it would take 5 more reincarnations to get to 3rd base and planned accordingly.
>>139311197
And then India was never mentioned again.
You don't even fucking know.
>>139350644
Yeah. I was disappointed by that. Was hoping for some crazy ass battle arc with superhumans but I guess it'd wear him out too much to do it while SY was running through its climax.

>>139340605

Nono was a retard in one of these.
>>139351017
Wait i thought that was his wife?
>>139351091
That's what I'm implying
>>139351172
Wouldn't he be related to Fuuta and that other girl?
>>139351228
Kertenos probably impregnated her before he left. She fooled Flors into thinking it was his son.
Did glasses like sharp-eyes after all? Because in Fuuta's world he seems surprised when she tells him who she likes (which wouldn't occur if he's literally seen it like 3 times), and when Kouko and Fuuta meet glasses and sharp-eyes on their date, they brush off Fuuta's accusation that they're dating, saying that they're "second cousins" and "practically siblings".
>>139351299
"Fooled"
>>139351506
They immediately follow that up with "Second cousins can marry though can't they?" "Well, not that we would" it's up in the air but I'd think so.
>>139351506
This is the page. Right before Fuuta realizes that Mashiro and Umi could be Jinkurou and Rihama's descendants.
>>139351565
I mean it seems obvious but there are also some iffy parts.
Like Fuuta's reaction, it's kinda strange given his experience knowing them in the past.
>>139351703
That's surprise to you? It's just a flat what and then "Flors was laughing at me" come on man, between that and her liking sharp eyes that's evidence for rather than against.
>>139351703
Which chapter was this again? I remembered exactly this page but forgot where it was from?
Next thread better not have this cancerous general shit in the OP
>>139351780
Why would Fuuta be surprised if it was Rihama? Flors was laughing because he finally became friends with Umi in the context of the chapter.
>>139351889
Again, that's surprise to you? Flors was laughing because once again she liked sharp eyed bro and not him. It goes both ways and if your only evidence is this "surprise" it's kind of reaching.
>>139351949
>Flors was laughing because once again she liked sharp eyed bro and not him.
But he's not, he's laughing because Fuuta is friends with her. He obviously knew she liked Rihama because of the Houtarou's and Flors' lives. So again, why did he say "What?".
>>139352028
Because it was a secret and he didn't expect it to. Besides it's not like every life people always hook up with the same people, other lives dont give you any specific insight into it. There's no real evidence either way, I think they got together and you think they didn't, but the both of us have nothing to show for it.
>>139352145
>you think they didn't
Noh I think they'll get together, I'm just playing the skeptic on who her middleschool crush is.
