Eh?! Wow, Rakan must’ve done SOMETHING to actually have Negi go back on his word of not using his artifact during the match… O.O
Well, I’m shocked…
and also, that was fast! (or is this because of the chapter delays…?)
I hope that Negi has another trump card or he’s going to bite the dust pretty soon by Jack.
Also does anyone know what day Negima 244 is comming out.
@Anon1 — Jack is giving Negi a beating and likely the sword was his only defense.
As to the fight progression, Akamatsu-sensei has hinted that this ends next chapter, but we’ll see.
@Anon2 — The magazine this chapter is in is officially released for sale on Wednesday in Japan.
IMHO he still have 3rd trump card, till now he mentioned 2 and it’s weird number for trumps :). Maybe it’s his brain and we will se something like finish of match with TTT (till now these fights are very similar) or something else …
WSM comes out Wednesday in Japan.
well then, whipping out the sword might not have been exactly a good idea. I think it just slowed down his reaction time even more. Rakan got behind him on those last two panels.
Hrm, so the match might end by chapter 245? That still doesn’t mean it would necessarily have one party winning. I’m hoping for some sort of disturbance here (like Fate popping up and causing some damage…but eh)
So… that means Negi is going to lose right? ’cause I’ve been following this Manga ’cause of the bewbs and not the fighting or shota.
Well… as far as we know til now Negi made some decent progress on the use of Magia Erebea.
And one hell of a killer-move would be if he somehow can manage to force someone to take in a spell, as in somehow “make the target use Magia Erebea”
If Negi manages to achieve that, he could do some REAL damage to Rakan (remember his “demonstration”?).
After all, every1 says Negi´s a genius… maybe he will do some kind of uber-clever move, NOBODY expected.
Don´t get me wrong: That “Raisoku Shundou” sure was something, but even the artifact was more impressive.
At this point, I don’t truly care who wins or what happens. I’m just anxious for anything (Negi being declared “a man”, Theodora having a flashback) to reveal Negi’s mother’s identity. It’s PROBABLY Princess Arika, but I really want to be sure.
That said, I can see Negi, at some point in this fight, snapping and trying to actually KILL Rakan (whether it work… well, who knows?)
hey hey maybe this time he will show the training he did in the scroll, or maybe 2 erebia at the same time, now tat had be cool
If Negi would have a trump card 3, it may be because of the training he had mentally in the scroll he borrowed from Eva. That would clearly show his genius mind. 😛
Can’t wait till the next chapter arrives. 🙂
I’m looking forward to the next chapter as well.
It seems Rakan decided to get serious, but no matter what (imho) Negi will win or at least he will not lose (maybe something other happens, cause with Fate watching anything is posible)
Negi is still not strong enough and so on, but he loses this fight, it´s very liekly Rakan and the other won´t acknowledge him having reached full manhood and thus he won´t receive any information reagarding Nagi, Arika, Asuna, ….
That would probably delay the progress of the story by a long period of time, since I don´t see any better chance in near future for Negi making clear, he´s no longer a child.
If you ask me, I don´t think Akamatsu intends to let Negi stay so unaware of his past.
just popped in to say that the complete spoilers are out at the usual place ^_^
Gah! Rakan is out-thinking Negi?! Now THAT is scary…
But that’s superior experience for you. It can even exceed the thinking process of a “genius”/”child prodigy” 😛
Thanks for the heads up on the spoilers. Figures they’d be posted RIGHT when I went to bed early this morning. ^_^;
@ ANB: ^_^ well that’s the other side of the world for you…which is also where I happen to live O.o
anyway, ya welcome
