AstroNerdBoy Negima! 287 SPOILER Images
魔法先生 ネギま！Chapter 287 (Images)
Here’s what I know many of you have been waiting for — the original-sized, sneak-peek SPOILER images for Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 287 as brought to you by anonymous Japanese fans (click pic to make bigger, y’all).
Well now, well now. This was completely unexpected. Now Mahora is getting involved and Akamatsu-sensei finds a way to bring in some LONG forgotten Earth-bound characters. ^_^
There may be more spoilers later. As usual, I’ll post them if I find them. ^_^

Sooo… I can make out that Ayaka is still in Wales (due to the presence of he twins and Sakurako), and that she’s got Eva on the other end of the line, who tells her something about the “bouya” (don’t think it’s about magic, since the “ma” kanji is one of the few I recognize and I don’t see it here), but not really anything else other than that someone forgot to turn off the tree…
Heard any specifics to go along with the spoilers, or should we wait for Hata to be able to confirm what rumors he’s heard by what we see here?
My Japanese isn’t good enough to really say without Hata, but I will say that there is focus on the World Tree and the connection to the Ostia gate.
That one panel looks like it’s suggesting that the World Tree might go boom and take out Mahora for some reason.
OK did not see that coming at all. Its good to see everyone from school and see what there doing. If I had to take a guess about the world tree and it would be that what ever is happening is the magic world at the place were Asuna and Ayna are (forget the name) is drawing power from the World tree or synchronizing with it some how. How are the WT and that place connected my bet is the old gate port exits at or near the WT but this is just a guess. So yea the WT looks like it might go boom and take out the school, that would be bad, will cure Eva of her boredom but still bad.
If I were a betting man I would say this chapter ends another volume of the manga and there will be a break next week. please confirm.
Hey! The BOOMING part reminds me of Makie’s movie in Negima!? (although it was canceled …haha!) XD
and yes! AYAKA IS BACK!

I wonder what ever happened to Shizuna-sensei. We haven’t seen her in a long time.
Looks like there is a connection between Mahora and Ostia. I still bet that the gateport at Ostia connects with the ruins under Mahora.
From the looks of things I take it the new school year hasn’t started.
And its nice to see the characters from the Mahora festival back.
Id say, its seems that the world tree is reacting the whats happening in the magical world.
peacexx
Ever since we saw the gateport in the MW, I’ve believed that the “ruins” under Mahora are in fact another gateport.
Couldn’t make up much in this low res version. But from what I can see, on the first page Yuuna’s father goes to the world tree to investigate the its status and confirms its unexpected activity (that it shouldn’t be active for the next 22 years). The conversation (extended to the second page) with the principal brings up the information that this tree in Mahora Gakuen is linked to the old Ostia (a.k.a. a gate) and with the events that happened 20 years ago.
The principle briefs the teachers regarding the situation with the magic world in the last two weeks and in this emergency one has to act calmly (not sure here).
On page 3: it’s hard to read, but it seems the principle says the culprit is Cosmo Entelecheia (the teachers are surprised etc etc). The diagram shows on the left side: Magic world, the intention is a big accumulation of magic power concentrated at old ostia which will be transferred to the world tree at mahora gakuen.
page 4: being so big, the magic power cannot be contained inside the world tree, and like what happened 20 years ago, and then garble2 (cannot read). It seems that the principal distributes instructions to the teachers, what each must do.
page 5: iincho is reading the document about Nagi Springfield before being disturbed by the twins and the phone from Eva. Eva said that if Negi comes back, he’ll be at Mahora (something — can’t read the first kanji) along with your buddies.
almost thought it was late april fools joke reminded me of the mahora academy festival arc the i took a second look lol. Quicvenom
Oh… they’ll use the tree power to teleport them… oooohhhhh
Or explode…but thats okay too ^^
Yuuna father back in the action o/
Given that the world tree is glowing I wonder if Eva and Alberio have more magic similar to what happened during the festival.
If the ruins are a gateport and Eva/Alberio are close to full strength, if Cosmo E try to use the Gateport at Ostia/Mahora as an escape route there could be a battle with Eva and Alberio waiting for them when they arrive at Mahora (or if they follow Negi through if he gets Asuna and Anya back)
Looks like on the last pic on the upper right corner….Eishun, Eva and Al will also have some spotlight too..
LoneWolfx03-]—
On the forth page, near the left, do I see a Library Island or a ruin? If so, then ANB, you’re right about the place being a gateport!
i hope to see the real eva again~~
im still hoping to see eva’s true power…
at first she seemed weak but it was more like she’s more powerful than Nagi..
@anon
if the real eva know that negi’s goin to appear at mahora, then the real eva know that negi mastered ME
According to the announcement on he last page, the next chapter will be out May 12th. (Break next issue, which is the Golden Week double issue.)
I know my predictions are usually off. However I wonder if the World Tree has been fueling MW all this time. And now that the ties have been severed the WT is storing up all that excess magical energy.
Can anyone say “Aliens, the reactor is about to go boom!”
But then my theories are usually off tangent.
since all the magic seems to be forced into the world tree, I wonder if anyone from AA or in Mahora can find a way to force all that magic back into the magic world…
This chapter has reminded me of another character, Chao. Is what happening what she warned Negima about, and was trying to prevent. Did she want Fate to succeed, so that the MW won’t go boom? Or maybe she wanted just the opposite, and that she wanted Negima to stop Fate because, Fate plan did not work? I don’t know but it time to go back to the festival arc and look for clues.
One quick question, are Gates simple point to point connection, or do they connect to more that one location. This would be important if it turn out that the school is now the only connection to the MW.
In theory Negi could use ME to absorb that power to fuel a titanic spell. But he would have to learn/create/engineer said spell to make use of such overwhelming power.
However Negi has been shown to be an genius regarding spell theory.
Guys remember the last two times the World Tree bloomed?
Upcoming Big Damn Heroes moment by Chao?
Now I wonder if the World Tree lighting up a year earlier than Chao expected means anything.
@Anonymous Guys remember the last two times the World Tree bloomed? Upcoming Big Damn Heroes moment by Chao?
~Nice~ connection. She did tell them “Zaijian”, after all.
@Rhyshaelkan In theory Negi could use ME to absorb that power to fuel a titanic spell.
You mean he’s going to hit Fate with an iceberg? I thought that was Eva’s specialty… (^_~)
If i remember correctly it was explained that the world tree was one of 12 ancient structures, (stonehenge,pyrmaids) it held enough power to cast a forced recognition spell across the world changing reality and time no doubt this will be used to rebuild the plane of reality on Mars, dont know how this will happen exactly but i have a felling that Chao will have left some ideas behind. I also want to know more about Fate an Dynamis, Fate’s story reminds me somewhat of the main character in Kiddy Grade with the whole clone/reincarnation thing i think Akumetsu is being inspired by Evangelion here. Quickvenom
@J49th
WWWWHHHHAAAT??? MAY 12…??
ahh jeeeeeezzz darn it!!
maybe this time…zazie show who she is?
by the way, the marking on negi body when using ME seem like the same on chao body in the festival arc.
its look like chao trying to make the world accept magic is to save the magic world population, possibly by migrate them to earth and by then its easier for normal earth people to accept MW population due to what chao is trying.
its just my thought
i reckon that the dean has got word of whats going on from takahata sensei and is informing the magical teachers about it. my thought, that the world tree is the sorcse of power for the gate to the magic world and that power is being forced back which could cause half of mahora academy to be wiped out. roughly
Martians never lie, and Chao is a Martian. This could mean she is a descendent of the humans thrust onto the surface of the real Mars. Only really powerful mages would be able to survive that!
I like the theory of Chao returning. Will Chao be about the same age, younger (that’d be weird, unlikely given the 22-yr cycle of the tree, but with time travel and not knowing her back story), or older? Also, I wonder if one of Chao’s children could come instead (she’d want them to experience the same happiness she’d experienced with class 2A/3A).
Trying to catch up on my e-mail and stuff. ^_^; So tired. *_*
Anyway…

Considering the technology Chao used, I figure Mars was terraformed. In the short term, I could see magic being used to allow people to work until the magic is exhausted. After that, I imagine something like what happened in Total Recall. ^_^

I think Chao herself would return, maybe just a tad older than before.
That said, I’ve been thinking about this for some time now and I keep thinking about how the World Tree lighting up a year earlier than expected seemed to catch Chao off guard. To me, that seems to suggest that history has already been changed somehow since she should know the exact days the tree would be filled with energy. Either that or their records in the future weren’t as accurate.
ANB
I agree with you about Chao if I was going back in time to change history and my plan depended on the world tree “blooming” on schedule I would make sure there where no issues with it when my plan took place. My theory is that for some reason Chao’s initial timejump to the past caused it to “bloom” early, perhaps due to the amount of magic required to accomplish it.
As for Chao’s returning unless her actions really screwed the future up (which is quite likely if you think about the “ripples” her actions caused), I dont see her returning except perhaps towards the end of the final arc to guide Negi to Nagi or in an epilogue to Negima given from her perspective.
I knew it! I have been suspecting all along that Mahora is somehow connected to the Ostian gate port. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Ayaka and co. suddenly witnessing the appearance of Negi and party in Mahora through a gate port.
Looks like the raws are out letsee what happens in the other panels…..
(I was thinking Ako becomes all grown up for some reason since that bouncing Adult Change Pill did slip off her hands and MIGHT accidentally get into her mouth… but will check now.)
It seems….
Takane is explaining to Yuuna and Co of their Magical Blood (Yuuna’s Dad, who looks cool after sometime of not being on the panels.)
…And Yuuna being Yuuna just went “Yay.”
It’s a surprise that her mom actually taught her a charm o-o
Then it proceeds to the scans astro has .-.
Not much happening on the chapter itself so next next week <3
Hello everyone I just had a thought. Chao lingshen would come back because she knows about the incident that fate would cause. also there’s a good possibility that either ku fei or konoka is chao’s mother due to some similarities. another thing, the magic could also be used to stabilize and bring everyone back from being rewritten on the magical world. I agree that Evangeline will be back on full power as well as alberio imma because of the extra magic flowing and I have a feeling that Nagi himself may even come and help out in the end, by teaming up with negi to fight fate.
I wonder if chao would bring nagi from when the past and bring him to negi and maybe negi’s mother will be there as well, that could be the reason why they seemed to disappear off the face of the earth, or magical world in this case.
Another idea, isn’t asuna negi’s mother’s sister, correct me if i’m wrong, but if i’m right then this means that asuna is negi’s aunt in a weird twisted sense.
given that its stated in a very recent chapter that Asuna is a few 100’s of years old, its unlikely that she’s actually his aunt … though theres nothing to stop her from being his great-great grand aunt or something 😛
sorta off topic but scene raw-paradise is gone now where are we can we fins the raws?
DarkMagician, that sounds like a likely theory… the reason why Nagi and Arika haven’t been seen… maybe they were sent into the future, or the past?
Basically like what happened when Negi and co. were stuck in the future during the Chao arc.
“sorta off topic but scene raw-paradise is gone now where are we can we fins the raws?”
AQS has a link up and Rena still does her scans on Saturdays.
