Fight 70 had better ones IMOI did kinda expected some glowing eyeballs, or maybe the face he had when his used the dragons gate on tsmuji. Oh well, I wonder why he would be there voluntarily. He must not know about Souhaku or is not with him anymore. To think Nagi would of his own free will stick with his daddy. Well that just makes me wish someone would kick his ass sooner.Rooster wrote:I'll have to disagree with Souichirou not being any different though (or maybe if you expected him to grow horns in his head then maybe...):
1) It's clear he's there voluntarily, nor does it seem like he is manipulated by one of the energy wizard balls of Souhaku.
2) He's been training (look at the colour of his arms).
I'm wondering if the woman there is the sixth F member (doubtful) or just a family acquitance / relative.
I'd appreciate if you don't draw further similarities between the two shows, since some of us aren't up to date with the other one yet.I have two words for you... Edward Elric!
About the "face when fighting Tsumuji", it's pretty clear he's a little less than sane there, and his powers are almost "overflowing", so no one could control him in that state.I did kinda expected some glowing eyeballs, or maybe the face he had when his used the dragons gate on tsmuji.

In the latest stuff I've translated in the TJTG Ultra Jump Special, Gurekichi-kun (an Oh! Great alter ego) says that he loved his dreads, but they were a total pain in the ass to draw, so he changed the style... So it's a cop-out.MrProphet wrote:OK, Bob's new haircut is just stupid.

You're referring to the manga of Full Metal Alchemist, right? I'm not following that either. I follow the anime and I still don't understand what you're getting at. Maybe you should expound a bit more.MrProphet wrote:I have two words for you... Edward Elric!
Give me a few more hours and I should have the whole thing translated. The work in progress is up in the usual places for those that are interested.kujoe wrote:Personally, this felt more like a setup than a filler. Now, whether it's a good one or not, I cannot tell since I cannot read Japanese that well.
But to those who can, can you clarify something please? In the last page, where we get to see Nagi again, what name does the girl call him? From the furigana, she does say "Kengo-san" right?
I was simply alluding to the fact that Edward's situation is very similar to Nagi's, the both were abandoned, both were raised by their mothers, both have similar temperaments. So, judging by Edward, Nagi would not be likely to love his dad a lot, especially if he knew what happened to Makiko.kujoe wrote:You're referring to the manga of Full Metal Alchemist, right?

Ok. Thanks for clarifying.Thanks for clearing this one up as well. I just had to make sure since it seemed so out of the blue. Anyway, it looks like something did happen to him while he was with his father. I'm also wondering if this is another reiteration of the "hero-has-amnesia" plot twist again.MrProphet wrote:And yeah, it says "Kengo-san". We'll have to wait to learn what that means.
I am translating as I always translate, so there are image-edits, JavaScript popups, and a HTML text-only script. The script is up on the site now (updating live) where it has always been (as are the JavaScript translations, but they aren't open to the public) but I will only have the text script available on the site.Zhou wrote:Great to know you're already working on it, Fugu. Is it gonna be JavaScript or text-only this time?
I recall someone (maybe Tsumuji [F] but I'm not sure) saying that Kengo is the title that the successors of the demon exorcist inherit, so maybe she's just adressing him with respect. Or maybe, the whole think about Soichiro change could be about his mother, seeing as he almost killed her, and now he isn't called "Nagi" anymore. Well, i didn't even read the raws, and I'll probably wait for the javascripts. If Fugu could put a message or something when they're available, I would be really grateful since I have 56k (yeah, i'm still stuck to this and it sucks -_- ) and i can't stay connected much time.And yeah, it says "Kengo-san". We'll have to wait to learn what that means.

Masataka has seen Aya naked himself.Uhm, so you mean Bunshichi is technically also a potential husband for Aya? He did get a small peek if I remember correctly. In my opinion, what bonded Aya and Souichirou in the first place was due to their powers--among other things.arias wrote:Isn't it interesting to note Aya's "promise" of sorts in Volume 1? Where the Natsume family has a tradition that any male who sees the naked body of a female Natsume will/could marry her, something of that sort. This was the "promise" that first bonded Aya and Souiichiro.
This Nagi-Aya-Masataka triangle feels like the past arc's Shin-Maya-Mitsuomi relationship. And who's the other person that calls out to Nagi in the last page? Damn it. I found it annoying because Oh! Great ended the chapter just when it got interesting.pv82 wrote:Thanks for the Fast Trans Fugu
After reading the Fight 76 I think
1. Bob looks like Blade
2. The Masataka>Aya>Nagi Love triangle is really getting annoying
3. I wasn't bothered with the nakedness. Its not the First time to see Aya naked, and Im pretty sure it won't it won't be the last. This is Oh Great, he did some eros/hentai stuff in the past, and he likes showing his female creation in their ful glory.
I assumed that he was talking about the day that Nagi was kidnapped, though there is nothing to indicate that in particular.arias wrote: Not even one time since then
Ever since that day... If he's here or even if he's not here, she only talks about him. She hasn't said anything other than his name even once."
I think the "riiiin" was more related to Aya's Dragon's Eye than to Masataka. I'm guessing she was probably able to sense Souichirou due to the so-called resonance that are common to red feathers, and that's what triggered her Dragon's Eye all of a sudden. You see a similar sound effect in the last page where it shows Souichirou. ("riiiiii")Rev wrote:well as you can see aya and masakata would make a good couple but the only thing in masakata way is that ass nagi. I think he knows this too. I have a feeling they might fight again in the later chapters, I hope. did you guys notice in page 30 the last sence with masakata and aya he goes the rain has started to stop but inside myself it's getting fiercer and fiercer and than in the background you see riiiin I wonder he'll go crazy like shin did in the past.
oh does anyone know why he called out shin name?
oh ok I just looked at the last page again and notice the riiii there.I think the "riiiin" was more related to Aya's Dragon's Eye than to Masataka.

And btw--am I missing something here? Where did you get Shin?
you should read the javascript version. that isn't the name Shin. that is "shin" the sound. notice also the italics, which I always use for sound effects. And it says right on it "Sound Effect"Rev wrote:oh ok I just looked at the last page again and notice the riiii there.I think the "riiiin" was more related to Aya's Dragon's Eye than to Masataka.

oh and you see Shin name on page 19.... like he was was thinking about him or something.
But after he was kidnapped, how could Nagi POSSIBLY be "here or even if he's not here". That's the key thing I noticed that led me to believe that it wasn't after the kidnapping. After the kidnapping, they haven't seen Nagi at all. He couldn't be there.FuguTabetai wrote:I assumed that he was talking about the day that Nagi was kidnapped, though there is nothing to indicate that in particular.arias wrote: Not even one time since then

IIRC the September 2004 issue of Ultrajump magazine (on sale 19 August 2004 - same day as release of volume 12 of manga) will come with a DVD titled "Round Zero" (in keeping with the DVD release of the anime being referred to as "rounds"). This will contain the first half of episode 1 of the anime and a digest of subsequent episodes.Agent_Wax wrote:Also news about something called 'Round Zero'?
Hmm. I may have to get this. I've been trying to decide whether or not to purchase the anime, and this may be exactly the assessment I'm looking for.IIRC the September 2004 issue of Ultrajump magazine (on sale 19 August 2004 - same day as release of volume 12 of manga) will come with a DVD titled "Round Zero" (in keeping with the DVD release of the anime being referred to as "rounds").

The love triangle is probably not so identitical as you think it is; sure it does have strong references to it. First, Aya is basically Maya. Just without the M, same familyMrProphet wrote:...
I liked the rain scene, it was very reminiscent of the Maya-Mitsuomi bonding scenes back in volume 7. It's getting pretty obvious that we are being set up for a repetition of the Maya-Shin-Mitsuomi triangle, with Nagi going bonkers this time around.
...
Mitsuomi = Masataka, same family. Nagi somewhat ~~ Shin, because of his mad skillz and berserk mode.Do you mind if it's around 16MB and in a .rar format? For some reason, I can't compress it any further.Agent Wax wrote:BTW, I have neither IRC nor BT, so if any kind soul were to send a zipped Chapter 76 to agentwax@yahoo.co.uk, I would be eternally grateful.

I don't know - I'm not saying that Masataka is completely consistant right there. It seemed to me that he was complaining about recent stuff, then also pro-rated it back. But there was no reference to a specific date - it also works nicely with the first day that Aya and Nagi met back in vol. 1. Either way, it isn't a huge point, besides the clear ... effect ... it is having on Masataka.arias wrote:But after he was kidnapped, how could Nagi POSSIBLY be "here or even if he's not here".

In the bowling alley fight at least, also the earlier Chiaki rape in the laundromat. More recently, when Aya was kidnapped into the helicopter (although she didn't need saving then) and in the fight with Zombie Fu - you will notice that Takayanagi does in fact save everyone there. Just because Souichirou isn't there doesn't mean Masataka can't blame him for not being there.arias wrote:Can someone tell me what Masataka meant when he said that Nagi couldn't even protect Aya? When did that happen?
I think it's more likely that he just transformed back to his normal self, that's why his hair wasn't black. The resonance that Aya felt became weaker at a certain point after all. It's just a likely scenario though, but I think what's more important is that Oh! Great probably wanted to make sure his point got immediately across--that the character we're seeing in the last page, is in fact Nagi.FuguTabetai wrote:I thought that was blood?solidis1 wrote:Oh yeah, and Nagi must be learning some new skills if his hands are black. But why isn't his hair black? Next chapter will hopefully actually be a "Fight 77"
Well, technically Aya didn't need saving in the bowling alley fight. And if she did, none of them were really able to provide protection to anyone--except maybe Bob for Chiaki. But I guess that doesn't matter compared to what Masataka was basically trying to imply: that he's right there with her, while Souichirou isn't. And that what a pain it is for him that she's still thinking about Souichirou.FuguTabetai wrote:In the bowling alley fight at least, also the earlier Chiaki rape in the laundromat.
Don't hold your breath on it.This could justify this "fanservice" as a key element of the plot
Rest assured, the next chapter's first half (at least) will involve something completely different than this. Damn teasers.And who's the other person that calls out to Nagi in the last page? Damn it. I found it annoying because Oh! Great ended the chapter just when it got interesting.
Masataka is an illogical male specimen. Masataka is in heat and therefore blames Souichirou for the sorry state of his object of desires. He is downplaying Souichirou so as to raise his stocks in her eyes. It is known.Can someone tell me what Masataka meant when he said that Nagi couldn't even protect Aya?
Definitely. The darkness is fading on his arm.I think it's more likely that he just transformed back to his normal self, that's why his hair wasn't black.
Or really dark sweat coming out of wounds...Hey on the last page was that blood on Nagi's fists?
Yes, that'd imply Aya now being polygamous and the author being crazy.I think that he is pointing to the first day of the Aya-Nagi encounter, and this could even more strongly indicate the switch since now he's seen her naked, the love triangle would be able to develop with more depth.
Unless Masataka is going to take advantage of her, I doubt it. Aya wouldn't break down like that (seek comfort elsewhere) unless it was clear, for example, if (please be when) Souichirou smacks her senseless. Dragon Eye should be an assimilatable (if that's a word) power too...I'd say we're getting some *cough* ACTION next chapter!
I think it's just the power of Nagi family : the "Dragon Fist" but he have not open the "Earth Gate"solidis1 wrote: Oh yeah, and Nagi must be learning some new skills if his hands are black. But why isn't his hair black?
Maybe next time...
