Here is a SPOILER image for the upcoming UQ Holder chapter 50, courtesy of Manga Kansou. (My review of UQ Holder chapter 50 should come out Wednesday.)
UQ HOLDER CHAPTER 50 SPOILERS
The UQ Holder chapter 50 goodness begins.^_^
Hopefully, ChaosProphet will have something soon. Karin and Sayoko will duke it out for sure. It also seems that Touta will fight Santa. I also get the sense that there will be a new sword being used. But that’s all I can gleam from my poor attempts. ^_^;
Oh well. It does look like things will be most interesting. As soon as I’m aware of new info, I’ll post it.
UQ Holder chapter 50, Update #1: Here’s from ChaosProphet.
Not fully detailed as I’m a bit busy:
Karin takes her sword, cuts the hands and attacks Sayoko but there is no effect. Karin asks why she killed people with no sin. Sayoko answers she carefully observers and only choose the real trash. “Is there even someone in this world without sin?”.
Sayoko starts getting strange and blurts out that because she don’t have time so she can’t select carefully, will have to kill everyone.
Karin attacks with some exorcising techniques and seems like she is about to win but is entangled by Sayoko’s hair. Sayoko then attacks with magic. Karin is unable to move and thinks that all the power Sayoko showed means she is not an ordinary wraith. Because Karin is immortal Sayoko only option is to bury her “How far I need to bury you so you wouldn’t come back? 50m? 100m? 1000m?”
Santa and Touta were called to the graveyard and are waiting. They talk about a victim being from the magic part of the school. Ikkuu and Kuroumaru come and tell Touta to get away from Santa, then can’t contact Karin so there is a big chance he is the culprit.
Santa reveals he was the person they fought the other day, Touta is confused without the context. Santa grabs Touta and is about to bury him so Kurou attacks. Santa don’t evade but that was the Zanmaken Ni no Tachi. Touta tries to cover Santa, Touta shoulder is hit and Santa left arm is cut (to his surprise). No blood comes from Santa’s wound.
Kuroumaru says Santa already is dead. From a point in the sky Sayoko is watching.
Ah, it wasn’t a new sword, but sword techniques, and those weren’t new (unless it is from Karin).
Looking at that picture, it seems like something attacked both Touta and Santa. Whatever sliced into Touta’s shoulder also severed Santa’s left arm. It’s not clear exactly what’s going on, but I think a third party is involved in it.
Looks like Kuroumaru is the one who attacked.
[…] Read the full article! […]
Awesome. I haven’t really started reading this, but looks promising. Definitely gonna give it a shot.
Ah? You did not start? Lol but then what do you do on an article about the chapter 50 of a manga you did not read? xD
Personally, as a fan of this manga I recommend, of course read it. After free for you to enjoy it or not, a manga can never please everyone.
I will ask you only two things:
1. Listen priority your opinion only, do not listen the other, at least not before trying to read this manga. Whether the fans (like myself) or those haters (there are one or two specimens of this blog lol, if they post you will recognize ^^)
2 If ever this manga does not please you, it is not at all a problem. I will simply requests you not turn into hater (as a certain person shouting his defiance of this manga (especially a character in particular) on the forums whenever he gets the chance (this person has a nickname starting by “D” will recognize herself ^^)).
But if you like this manga so I have one thing to say: welcome ^^.
ps: Just to know. Have you read Negima? This manga is not REQUIRED to understand the story of UQ-Holder, but it is still recommended to have read in order to have a “perfect” understanding.
Was a bit like XXXholic and tsubasa chronicle. These mangas are perfectly readable and understandable separately but to read two clarifies the shadow of the other. UQ-Holder taking place in the future of Negima, Negima sheds light on the past of UQ-Holder, and UQ-Holder enlighten (since the manga is only 50 chapters for the moment and is far from finished I think ^^) the future of Negima (and resolve as much plots left open in Negima. much like X-clamp completes Tokyo Babylon ^^).
ps (2) : Sorry for bad English i’m French and use Google-trad^^.

As always, thanks for the info. ^_^
Hmmmm… Touta seems to be protecting Santa (from Kuro? Maybe even Karin?), but the latter loses na arm.
And maaaan! I had for GRANTED Santa was the killer!
I never really thought Santa was the killer even though he had the killer’s abilities.
Regarding the chapter Karin apparently knows “Christian magic”. Interesting, I was just saying that property would develop this magical tradition (which we have seen so far only through sister shakti in Negima and Kaito in UQ-Holder)
I also note that Sayako seems to be a witch ghost. I thought it was weird but when you think the mana is the spiritual energy of life, which is rooted in the souls of living beings. But after all the ghosts ARE souls pure. So there is nothing absurd that the strongest of them will, which can take a physical and material form, can actually use magic. ^^
Besides, I wonder if Sayako is really a human ghost. And if she had been created by the popular beliefs of the people?
Note : I not said that ALL magical beings (excluding spectra and ghosts) as youkai, fairies, gods etc would be created by human beliefs (according to me, I think that would be far too simplistic, reductive and rather Uninteresting, after if that was really the case… fine xd.
But honestly I do not think will be that easy ^^).
No, I said just that in SOME CASES collective consciousness because of an urban legend, can create from scratch a real magical or spiritual being.
We have an example in the series Supernatural (precisely where the majority of supernatural beings of his univers, are NOT created by human beliefs but exist by a “natural way” if I may say so, . This example is PERFECTLY demonstrates where i’m getting),
The Winchester brothers in Season 1, affront a ghost, and then investigating, they find that no anti-ghost method (which are usually effective PERFECTLY I recall) does work. They discover more owls that in fact, the spectrum was accidently created by the strong belief of the inhabitants of the city. He was a Tulpa, a kind of “psychic golem” Tibetan. Maybe Sayako is also a kind of “psychic golem?” ^^
The term “Christian magics” wasn’t stated in this chapter, only that she had exorcism powers in her fist and with her sword. Kuroumaru also has exorcism powers.
As to Sayoko, they are using calling her a wraith, which is considerably different than a traditional Japanese ghost, like Sayo.
So looks like kuromaru Zamia ni no tachi exorcisms are key to this fight
At least in part.
