So, from the looks of the chapter we see possibly the item used for the creation of the Magic World on Mars & at the end of this chapter the reappearance of the “Mage of the Beginning” or the “Life Maker”.
My guess the “Life Maker” is an alter ego or a being sealed inside Asuna. So technically thats Asuna (this is what i have been thinking about for quiet sometime now).
Also it seems that there would be a break after this chapter.
Nice, very nice. Bet you anythig that’s Asuna.
This would br a good moment for the Ala Alba to get over there, Godel too.
Interesting theory. However, whatever Fate had planned initially did not require Asuna’s presence, meaning Asuna’s arrival is just an added bonus. So if the Mage of the Beginning was sealed within Asuna, then that means that Ala Rubra walked around with a keg of dynamite for however long, followed by said keg being at Mahora.
It is also possible that they used Asuna’s ability (which Graf Herrman proved could be done) to unseal the Life Maker.
I bet it is Asuna as well. Remember how she talked to Takamichi of being an empty thing in a flashback sequence? Maybe the Life Maker has possessed Asuna.
Its definitely Asuna. Lifemaker…? Not so sure.
hmmm, The way i see it Asuna has nothing to do with the life maker.
i believe that If anything fate is going to try and turn asuna to his side. the whole (you kept my past a secret…. you betrayed my trust…) and i think there might be a nice battle between asuna and negi. i also think the life maker has been possibly sealed within that artifact (it looks as if they are in a different dimension). And cant escape it. fate might intend to use rakan in a way to siphon enough power for the return of the life maker. (on a side note I personally dont like the idea of the life maker comming back)
And wouldn’t you know, no translation or scanlation of 270 yet. I wonder if this break will allow cnet to get things together. 😛 But then again, he is doing this for free.
*sigh* things have to go farther south do they?
I almost wonder if Jack has been poisoned or drugged based on how Akamatsu-sensei kept focusing on his eyes.
I did note that at least one Japanese poster seems to think that this will be Asuna.
The moment I saw the Life Maker i yelled out “OH SHIT!”.
And yet again we get the spoilers for the next chapter before the scans of the present one.
Also, why is Rakan drinking tea with Fate?Hope he didn’t switch sides(voluntarily or involuntarily).
If he did I think we will see another Negi vs Rakan battle.
Asuna may be the new Mage of the Beginning. From what I understand, this title refers to the power it has, not necessarily to the creation of Mundus Magicus. Asuna “possesses the same godly power that created this world” said Rakan.
Oh, and about Rakan: he’s SO dead!
So it looks like another exposition chapter, the main question being what to make of the Life Maker at the end. Until I can read (and understand) the chapter I am keeping an open mind as to whether the Lifemaker at the end is real/illusionary or simply an image for our benefit only.
At the moment I also agree with Veron on the Asuna not being the lifemaker, from Chapter 234 I got the impression Fate was unlocking her memories as a time saving mechanism, so he didn’t have to explain everything to her. This could also have the added bonus of potentially rendering Asuna catatonic when she realises her role in events. Even so I just dont see Asuna being convinced to switch sides, though I would not be surprised if Negi is forced for some reason to leave her in Fate’s hands at the end of this arc.
Its not Asuna. Its Arika! 😉
It’s funny but it seems that Fate says to Rakan “Earlier, You called me a ‘puppet’ but… you too are a puppet”
And I wonder what’s this Lilight.
Sorry but it ain’t neither Arika nor Asuna look at the height man Mage of the beginning is to damn long to be either of’em and that staff is probeably the same kind of high level magic staff type as Negi’s and thous the Life maker is without a douth a hologram or something like that.
An the idea about Rakan and Fate beging in another dimention, probebly in a magic item globe thing like Negi’s training ground in Eva’s house in Mahora(never really got the name of it)
@pissedbuddha: And wouldn’t you know, no translation or scanlation of 270 yet. I wonder if this break will allow cnet to get things together. 😛 But then again, he is doing this for free.

But I do understand what you’re saying, that it’s irritatingly difficult to find these ever since mangahelpers got the C&D.
Just for informing the anxious people her, translation for ch 270 by ‘cnet’ is out, check it on MH.
To the Anonymous post who posted at “November 13, 2009 2:19 PM”:
Just because the Mage of the Beginning is taller than both Arica & Asuna doesn’t mean that they couldn’t be the MoB.
This is magic we are talking about here & something as small as like the height of a person not matching doesn’t really have any basis here.
Note: Though if it really is Arica then the MM Senate would be showed right about all the things they did to Arica wouldn’t it.
@Anonymous 7: Just a random thought – Akamatsu-sensei might even have something in mind like when Su (Love Hina) came into her full power by transforming into adult form. But regardless, I think the silhouette does strongly suggest that it’s a female.
@Anonymous 5: Honestly, I don’t think we can make any accurate conclusions about the height of the hooded figure. The perspective is slightly skewed. But even if you go with the perspective as it is, the hooded figure’s total height = Fate from head to waist + Fate from knee to foot. I.e, they’d be considerably shorter.
@Anonymous 1-7: Just saying, but it’d only take a couple of extra seconds to click Name/URL and type some made-up name in. You don’t even have to put in a URL, and it’d make it a little less confusing to respond. (^_^)
Fate’s artifact looks like a key.b
i dont think thats the mage of the beginning because that looks like the mage that was with him during the first gateport thing
I thought this too initially, but the costume is not right.
yeah your right i just looked in chapter 187 page 8 u can see that its not the mages with him at that time so i guess it might be the life maker but i hope negi and godel team up
forgot to add also godel said that the life maker wasnt killed or somthing along them lines so he has a chance to come back
Maybe this has been asked before, but if the Magical World is indeed Mars then does that mean they are in the future?
And maybe (this is mostly wishful thinking) they’ll be able to meet Chao again? Since she implied they would meet again…like I said, this is just wishful thinking…
I don’t think they are in the future. I do think we’ll see Chao again before the manga ends but I don’t expect to see her in the current storyline except as we’ve seen her — in flashback.
