Yes. The 'wings' are designs on his outfit. I swear, he dresses like such a man-stripper these days...Is that Mitsuomi in the background? Why does he look like he just got crucified?
Aww, what's wrong.. Prophy will be sad if Maya dies.. don't worry she wont be really dead.. pencil, paper, and a little ink and she'll be re-drawn good as new.MrProphet wrote:People... this is a cover for VOLUME 14. Of course Maya is alive in it.
I don't know where you've been getting the thought that the cover is telling us something about future events or is foreshadowing something, but can you please stop and think about the plot of volume 14 and the fact that the cover symbolises NOTHING beyond what happened in volume 14?
Wooh... that was long. But really now!
Now that I see the larger pic, Mits just looks too weird in that pic especially his weirdly proportioned arms.Natsume Maya wrote:Larger pic:
The linien looks more like bandaids, gause for healing (if it were part of a dress, there would be an order to the way they are wrapped, it would look more neat). I still think she will live, one way or another, if not survive incapcitated for a while, she may still be possessed by Souhaku (or come back in some way by his doing). Check out the last line in chp 88. I think it refers to maya.MrProphet wrote: Maya is another mystery. She seems to be dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono and bound by linien sheets, but her arm is skeletal. What is Oh!great alluding to? Does he mean Maya is half-dead? Doesn't seem so. Any ideas?
I'd be a bit surprised if Aya's supposed to imply "drama queen"...MrProphet wrote:I liked the panel where the characters are represented as marionettes, pulled by the unseen arms (of Souhaku, I presume). The way Oh!great drew them could somewhat indicate his attitude toward the characters, but there are also mysteries.
Aya is dressed as a Queen (yeah, a drama queen). Nagi is the Court Jester (obviously). Masataka is dressed as the Pope (alluding to his celibacy?)
Shin, perhaps...Mitsuomi and Fu Chi'en are represented as robotic killing machines (also pretty straightforward). Who's the skeleton? Another representation of Fu?
I think Maya just has puppet arms (and hands). It's just with her, you can see them fully. The wrappings around her chest look like typical "warrior woman" style.Maya is another mystery. She seems to be dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono and bound by linien sheets, but her arm is skeletal. What is Oh!great alluding to? Does he mean Maya is half-dead? Doesn't seem so. Any ideas?
Hmm... Many possibilities.And what do those crashdummy heads imply? Are they leading to Mitsuomi or Maya? Do they mean their followers that are just sacrificial meat to Souhaku? The Red Feathers?
This isn't the first time Oh! great has done this sort of thing. I don't recall it happening on Tenjou Tenge before (not that I've checked) but it certainly happened with Devil. New scenes/pages were added and dialogue changed for the collected volumes.MrProphet wrote:WOW... what the hell? Oh!great changed A LOT of images, and if I am not mistaken, some of the story.
Err, Kagiroi doesn't have a family technique. And the technique he used on Fu was a leg technique. I initially thought that Souhaku was a teenager as well, as he was wearing the same jacket as in that flashback with Makiko. But note the tattoos spreading from Tetsuhito's eye. That had to have taken place after he took her eye. Apparently there IS a Dragon Ball technique.EliteF22 wrote:Souhaku was still a teenager at that point, so I don't hink that Tet's had the dragons' put into him already. Could be the Kagiroi family's technique, he used it on zombie Fu if I remember correctly.
