Ah yes, thanks for the source.

If you find it, can you tell me plase? I find that ironic and hard to believe since Dougen has a distaste for them, which ties in with his short-lived True Warrior project.

The Takayanagi family? They're not even red feathers. It wouldn't even make sense considering Dougen's opinions regarding red feather powers. Politically however, they're the most powerful. There probably was an ancient clan (as in "Kojiki ancient," way before the ancient arc) that possessed all 8th...

I haven't read the translations yet, but I don't understand the logic behind Souhaku's conditions. If he does kill Souichirou, can he even survive within his dead body?

Then again Aya could be "sealing" Souhaku by activating the Dragon's Eyes and draining his ki everytime he tries to emerge, since her power can drain unlimitted ki she could keep him in check by weakening him to the point he's unable to overpower Nagi's soul.

Strange that you got into this manga considering it started with the present arc, wouldn't you say? The past arc also has its share of school fights and fanservice.

So far, the Takayanagi family are more of a white feather type of clan, so I doubt they have any secret 8th gate. Mitsuomi even has a disdain for red feather abilities.
