Or maybe she just changed her last name including her sons last name to hers. lol I know weird questions. I think it's safe to assume that Maki...

It does seem that TenTen is at a convenient point for Oh! Great. He can easily go for the ending from here if he so wanted to, or still go on further.

I'm definitely hoping for the latter.

Perhaps he couldn't wait for Souichirou to grow older and he needed someone right away so he pumped up Tetushito. He then waits until Mitsuomi is old enough to take on Dougen. And we know the rest.

So you mean the fact that Mataza was fooled into thinking that he was winning against Nagi and co. wasn't simply illusory or even deceitful in anyway?

Still, it doesn't change my opinion on it either way. Even if it has other things going for it, its illusionary nature doesn't appeal to me that much.

Sure it's possible, and maybe the little kid can one day pull off something like that. But as far as I'm concerned, it's still somewhat lame.

An illusion-type ability such as this just doesn't stand up pretty well beside the rest, in my opinion. That is, in terms of appeal.
