MrProphet

Juukenbu dojo IS the Natsume dojo. Aya said in the beginning that the dojo is the only thing left of their old estate.

MrProphet

Yeah, it does go into a radically new direction when F appears, but we are still under the impression (hopeless delusion I say!) that we'll see the Tournament some time down the road. All of this adventure is sort of a diversion. Although this diversion has long ago turned into the main plot. Still,...

MrProphet

2 months at least... But they don't seem like kidnappers to me. Though they're clearly not ordinary people. And what about Masataka and the others nearby? Either they have some unusual instructions from Souhaku or Mitsuomi, are allies of some sort, or are part of a completely different group. They ...

MrProphet

We have to also consider a possibility that Aya is being kidnapped in order to tap into Reiki's power. Or stop Aya from getting to Reiki. There are several possibilities.

So we might not be able to dwell much on her.

But that is for the future.

MrProphet

He sometimes skips chapters during tankoubon releases. He did it a year ago, if my memory doesn't desert me.

MrProphet

If someone can't access the torrent, I'll host <a href="http://mrprophet.com/temp/v14c87(raw).rar">this</a> for a while.

MrProphet

Definitely. Souhaku is way too smart and strong for this to happen. Somehow, I sense that this is exactly the way he wanted. As for Maya... there is a distinct possibility that this is it, however, I have strong doubts. She fought with a bang and then went out with a whimper? Not bloody likely, if y...

MrProphet

Now imagine Kago resurrecting in Maya's body, weilding Reiki...

MrProphet

Nobody shared, so it's going to be just a torrent...

MrProphet

You guys are planning to share or what?

PS Send it my way, i'll host it on a http for everyone (artjomh@gmail.com)

MrProphet

Any sign of the chappy? Anybody?

MrProphet

I don't think it's a slash. Look like his upper torso is separated from its bottom half.

Enough with Tetsuhito. Personally, I want them to get it on with Souhaku. And least have a little chat.

MrProphet

Seems like Tetsu is going the way of Frankie Fu. I mean, how long can one man go?..

MrProphet

Shindayuu is definitely one of the branch families, since Inue uses "Dragon Roar" Because we have evidence in Maya sheesh, we also can't assume she is a freak, it's called logic. Look it up. Evidence of one is always a freak accident. No pattern whatsoever, nothing to infer. It's called statistics. ...

MrProphet

There is also no indication they don't, so since the only evidence we have is Maya we can assume it's possible and anything else would be pure speculation. Maybe you should read the plain Japanese again... How the hell did we assume that? Unless we see another clan member with no 8th gate, we can't...

MrProphet

I am not claiming anything that isn't stated in the books in plain Japanese.

MrProphet

No, Maya is a special case, since she is a "sheath" for Reiki. I wouldn't be surprised if she was specifically conditioned for inability to use Dragon Eye by Dougen and Kaima...

There is no indication other families have that kind of inability.

MrProphet

True enough. However, why wouldn't she use the 8th gate when she was trying to kill her most hated enemy (Kago), but instead used a Wind Gate? Makes sense that she only has that one...

MrProphet

Shyukyou is Tsumuji Junior's mother's family. He inherited Dragon Claw from them... As for Isuzu and Kuzunoha, well, I am not sure where you got Isuzu from, but Kuzunoha were once mentioned as a vassal-family of Takayanagi. I've never heard anything about Isuzu. I think Emi is just a regular gal, wi...

MrProphet

Kamura are Whites, since Shuzuru's Dragon Gate is Wind.

MrProphet

Interesting. It is now obvious that Mitsuomi allied with Kago not because Kago could help him, but more because both of them fear and hate the Red Feathers. The reason is clear on Mitsuomi's part (he describes himself as just a "warrior", contrary to people "with abilities"), but it'll be interestin...

MrProphet

And the problem with Tawara beating Fu with one uppercut?

MrProphet

I am pretty sure Tawara improved just as much...

MrProphet

Exactly! Bunshichi gave Nagi a lesson in the limitations of the Forged Needle while explaining it in detail. This shows that he has quite a lot of knowledge about "secret techniques". And he was just joking about the "boobs". I am sure that he'd beat Aya and Emi any given day. Maya might be more of ...

MrProphet

That's a totally bogus argument, kk1. By your reasoning, Madoka would totally whoop Tawara's ass, only because... well, we've never seen him beat her, right? Seeing a fight between two people is not necessary to evaluate their strenght. There is such a thing called "comparative strenght". Based on T...

MrProphet

Her old-man speech (ware, washi, onushi, etc.) was always a bit pretentious. Maybe she decided to ditch it in a life-and-death situation... or just forgot she is supposed to be "old-skool"...

And, anyway, it's natural for Japanese to refer to themselves in third-person.

MrProphet

True, but I think the circumstances of that fight provided him the chance. I don't think this downplays his achievement but admittedly, I don't think Bunshichi would've won if it came down to a fight with Shin without any interuption. I don't think we've ever seen a straight-forward one-on-one by-t...

MrProphet

No, that's not it.

Kago said that his reason for living is to give birth to a "1000 demons". Makiko retorts that she will in that case kill "1500 evil spirits".

I am pretty sure they are being poetic.

MrProphet

The original 7 gates are all generic. That is, they are all connected to a specific chakra and are tied to a person's "personality" or "nature", if you will. The eight gate (one for each of the 6 Red families and one for each of the 36 Brach families) is not generic, it can open through the head and...

MrProphet

It's interesting how Maya started her own Jyuukenbu. I mean, Bunshichi never quit the original one. Mitsuomi just went on to become the Boss and Maya sort of just did a smash and grab on the Jyuukenbu name...

MrProphet

Multiple users within the same family or with the same generic dragon gate. But all of the them have the same dragon. Aya and Ishiyumi have the water dragon; Fuu and Nagi have the earth dragon; Aya and Shin have dragon eye. And so on... However, aparently Kagiroi has 50+ distinct dragons. He didn't ...

MrProphet

In terms of power and stamina, Bunshichi is king. He went against a guy who, technically, can see through every move and predict the future, yet Tawara still whupped his ass. Maya isn't really skillful, she only know how to avoid a lot of other techniques, but on her own she has a rather limited ars...

MrProphet

Since only the Nagi clan has the ability to steal dragon gates (and thus intermigle them, as you suggest), the scope for intermingling is rather limited. So, I don't think it's that. A water dragon is still a water dragon, whether the user uses water bullets, blood bullets, or just unconsciously con...

MrProphet

Re-read Volume 9...

MrProphet

Now, I was wondering about that as well. There is a total of 36 branch families. And 6 Red Founding families. And 7 regular dragon gates. We know that Kagiroi didn't even get all of them (like Enmi). So unless some families have more than one style (which was never indicated before, btw), how are we...

MrProphet

It didn't suppress Shin's energy - it gave him the ability to control it. In fact, his power only grew when he was holding Reiki.

MrProphet

Could it be that Reiki only sucks up Maya's energy?

Since she is not supposed to use it, and in fact, technically, she shouldn't BE ABLE to use it, Reiki TAKES energy from her instead of giving it.

MrProphet

"Denying it in public"... LOL This is funny. I can go on GMAO right now and download the same exact versions that've popping up. In fact, anyone can do it. And if they have any Photoshop skills, they'll edit the fonts and everything as well. Voila, a do-it-yourself scanlation. There is no conspiracy...

MrProphet

You don't have the patience to read it.

We don't have the patience to explain it.

It's your choice. We have zero obligation to explain anything if you can't waste your time to even read the manga.

Don't be selfish.

MrProphet

If steel is useless against the Beckham-wannabe, why didn't Maya think of using her hands?

PS Agent_Wax, you polluter of minds.

MrProphet

Thanks to ICANN, U.S. authorities sometimes think they own the Internet.

But, to be frank, I doubt it is as simple as LostSoul describes.

MrProphet

Neither did Maya lose her's.

Shin, Tawara and Bob spent a lot of time in the hospital after that, while Maya keeps swinging (albeit, with Shin's supposed help).

MrProphet

Number 3 is actually NOT CORRECT. "Virtual childporn" is not illegal in the United States. Acts that look like they are "simulating" sexual activty, even if the participant look like they are under 18, are not childporn. Or else, a director of a film with a scene with actors who display sex between ...

MrProphet

Oh, please! Shin, Tawara, even Bob were kicked around with way more life-threatening consequences. ???? Obviously Shin is dead but I don't recall Bob or Bunshichi being beaten into an unconscious lump, laying there still and silent with "Death's Silence" written above them on the page. Please recal...

MrProphet

Even Nagi and Aya had their asses semi-handed to them by Ryuuzaki. But then again, who likes Nagi and Aya anyway? :twisted: I agree that the severity of Maya's beating is intensified by the fact that she rocks. When that dude with tattoos was beating the shit out of her at school, nobody really care...

MrProphet

Oh, please!

Shin, Tawara, even Bob were kicked around with way more life-threatening consequences.

MrProphet

Spoken like a true lo...

Aw, alright, alright... I'll stop yanking your chain, even though it's a world of fun.

Chill out.

MrProphet

Let's see that was Vol 1, Vol 2, Vol 5, Vol 9, and if you count those you have to count Madoka fighting in her bra and panties in Vol 12, Aya's naked zone out and pantsless Shizuru in Vol 13, or naked mirror Aya this volume no one being raped, murdered or tortured there. Looks pretty consistently s...

MrProphet

So you're saying the early stuff like Chiaki's rape was titilating? I don't get your point, Ten Ten hasn't changed, to me the nudity has always been there and always just been a realistic part of the book, if he wanted to Oh! Great could have easily had everyone lose their clothes or banging each o...

MrProphet

wow you must not have been paying attention the last couple of chapters, someones been naked most of the time and there was a rape of a fairly young looking girl in this very chapter, I don't think anyones told Oh! Great to tone it down and if they did he hasn't been listening. None of them were th...
