MrProphet

Shoujou will be the second man to die. I think he has no special ability besides stealing faces. That is one hell of skill to have but, once he gets caught. He will be finished faster than baldy. Well, not exactly. He said that in addition to the face, he also gets all the knowledge and abilities o...

MrProphet

It's interesting that it was Honda at the end who was involved in Kabane's death. Even Shohaku's functionary lackeys are dangerous, it seems. It's not Honda. Honda's the old geezer. This guy is actually Yagyu Shinjirou Yoshikatsu, a relatively unknown son of the legendary Tokugawa retainer Yagyu Mu...

Here it is:

Let's just say... Souhaku got Natsume's message and answered it... appropriatly.

Freaky chapter and the plot doesn't really move forward, except that we recieve a lot of new info.

MrProphet

And, Souhaku and Spitfire are similar. And this is the difference between Tenjou Tenge and Air Gear. In TJTG, the badass villain is the immortal overlord with near devilish ingenuity and near infinite mystical powers. In AG, the badass villain is the cute blonde bishie who cuts hair and does the py...

MrProphet

Obviously, I missed the "gentleness" part in the volume 14 :shock: . I should try to find the revised volume because I didn't really see them as lovebirds, even though I always thought they were really in love (that's what is great with Oh!Great, you don't need big declarations and all that romanti...

MrProphet

It is interesting how Oh! great keeps providing us with similarities between Shin and Souhaku. Of course, it could be said that he is doing it unconsciously, with Shin being the villain of the Past arc, and Souhaku being the current villain, but still I think there are parallels. Both are shown to b...

MrProphet

Well, there are a bunch of male chibi figures released, but if you mean specifically Pinky St., then yes, this seems to be the first one.

MrProphet

I recently started reading Air Gear and am totally into the series now (expect a fansite to pop up soon). Anyway, I was wondering if there's any merchandise available aside from the Pinky Street Ringo figure and the 2006 calendar. There is a Pinky Agito coming soon. Then there is this Simca. And I ...

MrProphet

I think (key word here!) that Kago got hooked with with the Shogun and is somehow propagating policies that are beneficial to his goal (of uniting the blood in one), but are perhaps detrimental to the current families. So, Takayanagi decides to send Kago a warning, by the means of the Natsume-Nagi-S...

MrProphet

Wasn't the character who appeared as cutting off Nobunaga's head, who looks exactly like Souhaku, referred to as Akechi? Could it be that the Kago family has been controlled by Akechi for all this time? There's really no evidence, though. Although, the fact they both look the same and dress the sam...

MrProphet

When is she "getting naked around her comrades"? In this chapter, she is changing in a separte room to Kabane and Shoujou - and kicked Ichiyou out too. I thought it was the same room. Maybe I was just confused by the image transposition. And didn't Ichiyou just storm out on his own? Seems so. Most ...

MrProphet

I see. It makes sense now how Aya is not ashamed of constantly getting naked around her comrades. She is just too young to get it...

And who's the old dude playing go with Takayanagi? By that picture of the 12 families I assume he is one of them, right?

MrProphet

Wow, she is just 9 years old?!

I wonder how she knows so much about sex and seduction then. Of course, she'd been around a brothel for some time, but kids don't generally get interested in this kind of activity untill puberty.

Yet Aya struts her stuff out like a true professional? What gives?

MrProphet

Here's the chapter via HTTP:

http://mrprophet.com/temp/v15c91.zip

Good stuff. Ichiyou is one cute kid.

MrProphet

What the hell? Don't disrespect Maya! Or she'll "disrespect" you.

MrProphet

Well, Aya Natsume is the ancestor of both Aya and Maya Natsume. Or did you imply that then Aya is connected to now Aya?

By that logic, the John Smiths of history form one big happy family.

MrProphet

Is there supposed to be a "Maya from back in the day"?

MrProphet

It's that time of the month, so give it a warm welcome to our favourite Aya whore!

Fight 91 will be out in 2 days.

MrProphet

For those interested. Vol. 13 of Air Gear will have a Pinky figure as well.

It will be Agito.

PS: I was hoping for Simca, but fair is fair, it's the girls' turn.

MrProphet

I am terribly sorry to disappoint you, but here it is: http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/airgear/ I don't know about you guys, but personally, I find Anime Ringo to be horrible. I mean, this is Ringo?!?! Ikki's somewhat off too, but not as badly as Ringo. PS Seems like I am now the bearer of news on Air...

MrProphet

More news about the hot topic of the month: Air Gear (in various incarnations). The animation will be produced by TOEI (no excitement here!) The director will be Mr. Hajime Kamegaki of Fushigi Yuugi and Ayashi no Ceres fame. Well, he didn't screw up Yuu Watase, maybe he won't screw up Oh! great. 8) ...

MrProphet

Hello, I have bought a few volumes of Tenjo Tenge so far, and I have been reading translations on this site for the last few weeks; I have a few questions about Fu Chi'en. Firstly, I would like to know anyone's opinions about what exactly Shin DID to him to make him end up in that sorry state after...

MrProphet

They do not care who buys it, who hates it and who is pleased by it. All they care for is money and they'll go pretty far to get it. If you want to change the "more desiring", capitalistic nature of humans, you will have to go back in history. Oh, sure they care. That's the nature of business: find...

either way. the point is. make us want to pay you, then feel like it would be nice to pay you. there are plenty of mangas im sure i would enjoy, Jimmy, I'd appreciate it, if you'd get the hell out and "enjoy" some other manga.

Or you can use your mad Photoshop skillz and insert the text in the raw manga.

MrProphet

Can Shoujou really change their entire body? I am not sure. We've seen him change his face, but the body seemed to stay exactly the same. So, as funny/disturbing as growing boobs and loosing private parts might sound, I somehow doubt that she does that kind of thing. So, most likely the current Shou...

MrProphet

LOL COMMA SPLICE ATTACK! You want some cheese with that whine? 8) Really, dude, if $10 is too much for you, then don't read manga. You don't have a RIGHT to read it, only a priviledge. You are priviledged to read manga in a translated form before others get to read it, so shut up and say "thank you"...

MrProphet

I think he is trying to draw attention to that last page, where he says that the Osaka Castle is where the Red Feathers have gathered and consolidated their power. Perhaps Shoujou coming to Osakajo will somehow precipitate this gathering, enable the Red Feathers (and Takayanagi) to gain control of t...

MrProphet

Sure. As a starting point, college language courses are fine. I'm just trying to say that they shouldn't be the end of it, because college usually only starts to scratch the surface by the time you are already graduating.

MrProphet

Trust me, you won't learn Japanese just by going to college. From personal experience I can tell you that 2-3 semesters of Japanese will not help you. So, if you want to learn the language, get a tutor, or attend separate courses.

MrProphet

You need "ki" to open the Dragon Gate, but you also get "ki" flowing once the gate is open. Which was the point I was making. The end.

MrProphet

Ugh, lets not go through this discussion again, just like Aya said last chapter she didn't have enough ki to use her dragon eye anymore and Reiki said she still had some of Maya's ki to use. Isn't that just a property of the Dragon Eye? It does not mean that all 8th gates are the same in this aspec...

MrProphet

Where is it? Maybe Fugu can combine the threads for us?

As for the chapter, you can check it out right here: http://mrprophet.com/temp/AGc119.zip

Gosurori Shimuka FTW!

MrProphet

Ooops, sorry, man. Will put up a disclaimer.

Oh, and it seems like Ringo is now the bad guy... um...girl.

She's the hottest chick in AG and one of the coolest characters in there.

No-no-no. Ton-chan is the best!

But Simca looks good as a goth-girl too...

MrProphet

What is it with Oh!great and death recently?!

I mean, come ON! First Maya, now Simca? Is he having some kind of a bad year, or something, with all these deaths of characters!?

Did anyone else read Air Gear 119? Did Simca really... die, or is it just my imagination running wild?

MrProphet

When we first got to learn about the Dragon gates (i think it was volume 8 or 9), Makiko has said that once the gate is open, power comes out of it.

MrProphet

Well, Dragon Fist can steal the regular Gates, like the Water Gate Nagi stole from Ishiyumi.

Since the Dragon Gates are the source of ki, then there is no need to invent any kind of "dragon spirit" for this issue. All the elements are already there...

MrProphet

Mitsuomi isn't a Red, so he doesn't have the 8th Dragon Gate.

MrProphet

Masataka might be the uber-l33t guy at what he does (chinese kenpo?), but he doesn't know anything about weapons or mystical powers, unfortunately...

MrProphet

Is it really necessary? I think you were making a good point about them working together. I am not sure about their loyalty to Natsume (they seem to be somewhat disgusted by Aya's penchant for mental torture), but they do seem to be working in tandem. I wonder whether the present world Kabane and Sh...

MrProphet

Thin monk? You mean Kabane Myouun? Well, naturally, he is Kabane's forefather. They have the same name.

MrProphet

True, it does't prove anything by itself. In that you are correct. Yet it seems awefully similar to the way Shoujou and Kabane ambushed Ono Tadaaki. The modus operandi seems the same: Aya approaches the victim, becomes his lover, then another member of the families approaches undercover and disposes...

MrProphet

Unless it's a totally different person (of which I see no evidence), I just can't think of another way to explain all the discrepancies. Prostitute Aya must be 10 years older to fit the chronology. So, either she uses illusion to hide her true age (she is capable of it), or she just just managed to ...

MrProphet

OK, here's the sequence of events I came up with... Chapter 89 (Nobunaga's death) takes place in 1582. The end of chapter 89 (Aya with Reiki) and Chapter 90 (Aya in the brothel) takes place in 1593. Shoujou impersonates Sakuma Zenki, then kills Ono Tadaaki, and becomes a Tokugawa retainer after impe...

MrProphet

Reiki said that Tadaaki was going to serve the Tokugawa family, so wouldn't it be safe to assume that they do already control the castle, since the action is moving there. And anyway, even if I am wrong, construction of the Osaka Castle was not completed untill 1598, which is 16 years since Nobunaga...
