As usual, we’ll have to wait for some gracious person to come along and translate. 🙂 More training for Touta. Kirie and Kuroumaru get a name drop. And I believe Eva is discussed. I suspect we’ll get the “explanation” of Eva in the present having met Touta but acting like she never had. I could be wrong though.
Anyway, updates when we get translations, more info, and of course, spoiler images. 🙂
Update #1: DerGilga does some translating.
何年過ぎても会いたかった
No matter how many years pass, I wanted to meet you刀太の修行は次の段階に入り、魔獣退治に挑むが瞬殺される
Touta’s training, he enters the next stage and he’s takes on an elimination of a demon beast, but gets instant killed.それでも成長著しく、キリヱに”女”の存在を疑われる(九郎丸だと思ってるようだが)
Neverless, growth remarkably, the presence of ‘a woman/female being’ is suspected by Kiriwe/キリヱ (But it seems she is thinking it is Kuromaru)(ANB’s note: I believe “Kiriwe/キリヱ” is “Kirie” — it has been in the past.)
さて、その”女”はというと
Well, if it is this ‘woman’, then…あれから人形遣いの能力を磨き、茶をたしなむ余裕もできた
After that, improvement in the puppeteer abilities and there is also time to enjoy some tea.“女”は刀太と違い、長い年月の中から飛び飛びで喚ばれているため
The ‘woman’ and Touta don’t match, because she is summoned scatteredly from a timespan of many years.“女”にとって前回刀太と会ったのは2年ぶり、今回は8年ぶり
For the ‘woman’ the previous meeting with Touta was after 2 years, this time it is after 8 years.実に18年ぶりに”頭なでなで”されたのであった
Indeed, it was 18 years ago the ‘head stroking’ happened.
//best to google: 頭なでなで■温もりと感触を静かに胸に刻む……
She gently etches/remembers the warm feelings in her chest….
// no idea how to translate that better
And some additional from Mahou.
1) 頭なでなで is indeed stroking or patting one’s head. Google image search is quite helpful in this regard
実に18年ぶりに”頭なでなで”されたのであった Indeed, it has been 18 years since since someone stroke gently/patted her head.
2)温もりと感触を静かに胸に刻む… She(?) gently/calmly engraves the warmth and feeling on her mind
More updates as warranted.
Update #2: From MK!
There’s lots of Eva love here, though I’m not digging that Touta x Eva ship. I do like seeing Eva working on Doll magic.
Well, we’ll have to see what fun awaits us tomorrow. 🙂
I posted a translation on the animesuki forums. I want someone to double check it. Not to have such a big mistake as last time again.
OK, thanks for the translation. ^_^
I still miss Karin though. :’D
LoneWolfx03 -]===-
Who? 😉
Are we still in Namek?
More like sayan saga
So, King Kai’s planet then?
what do you tell yet as delirium? lol^^
The slums were Raditz, the fight versus Fate was Nappa, Santa’s arc was Vegeta, this is Namek.
Yeah … That’s really what I thought that I understood.
Finally as usual: the bashing, bashing and bashing still …
It’s not like I expect anything other than that coming from you lol
Cut it out with the personal attacks, and no, hiding behind a ‘lol’ doesn’t make them any less of personal attacks.
Overmaster : Hmmm … Coming from someone who has often treated the fan UQ Holder of “sheep”, and whos has one-time, treated “Hata” of “blind fanboy”, you’re in very poor position to give lessons on personal attacks Over-master, if you ask me ^^.
I have the impression that you rather like a troll does not support, for being trolled back. ^^ Anyway …
For your information I took, and especially I seen other peaple to take, more scathing remarks it in the face. So when you consider my sentence (which was ironic, just a way to counter your troll by another troll, I thought it was seeing ^^) as a personal attack I find here a little abused. Anyway I do not want to start a looong discussion on this and I think you either you did not really want that. We have just two other things to make our days I think^^
ps : Note that I do not talk about the attacks that you have to do against me because you hast often made them to meet the mine, because at the time was true that I lacked subtilitais in my answers to your trolls . ^^
But that does not change the fact that you’re engaged in free personal attacks against fans UQ Holder in general who themselves had done nothing to you. ^^
Why no Piccolo?
So…. Touta is now officially the first guy Eva fell for. And the reason that she like Nagi is because he reminds her of Touta.
Oh boy…. here we go… let the shitstrom begin!!
UQ Holder is its own shitstorm.
😆 😆 😆
He told her last chapter that she falls in love with a red-headed hero so that could be why she becomes obsessed with Nagi.
He just didn’t mention that Nagi doesn’t fall in love her.
Although, I keep expecting Dana to erase Eva’s memories to explain why she doesn’t know Touta in the present, except she’s left with residual feelings for a powerful idiot.
Actually I’m pretty sure Touta is talking about Negi, and then when Eva meets Nagi she thinks that’s who he meant.
As for why Eva didn’t “know” Touta, i think she’s probably worked out that he was from her future and pretended she didn’t know him.
No way. Touta learnt from Ikuu and Fate that she loved Nagi, she never loved Negi and both were great heroes.
You may well be right. I don’t like those explanations because they really stink, especially if the character “pretending” gives no other clues that maybe they knew the other character.
Well, unless she DOES know Touta in the present. Someone pointed to the page in chapter 1 where Eva is blushing and attempting to invite Touta to the zoo. That cold be seen as Eva trying to do something extra nice for her old friend.
😆 Yeah, well…
This arc is quite similar the The world God only knows final with D’flesh calling Kenima Onii-chan and the shocking identity reveal at the end, also redoing events time and again the prevent a lot of stuff.
The series was actually very good. And is in my top 3 manga, 1. Freezing (after LP) 2. Twgok 3. Aiki-S
I’m aware of The World God Only Knows, but that’s it.
So….. because this eva is from a different dimension… would it be possible for her to meet the other?
If it’s strictly about possibility, then yes.
Actually, we don’t know if this is an Eva from another dimension or not. I’m going to vote for “not”.
The head-patting reminds me of Eva asking the memory of Nagi to pat her head.
yeah me too… I really think that Tota is the origin of the attraction to Eva for Nagi.
And I begin to wonder if it was exactly what Dana said, explaining to Tota that Eva “did not know love.” Maybe she did not speak of a relationship between him and Eva this time (Yukihime) but the role he would play with the Eva of the past for her to finish up loving Nagi.
Of course Tota x Eva is always a possibility until proven guilty but I find this theory is very interesting …
I think at this point. Eva x Touta is pretty much freaking confirmed. Given that Nagi is looooong out of thee picture.
Before this arc its pretty much one sided love from Touta… but now lol.
It is possible, now that I’ve reread chapter 1.
Which I believe is the intent.
Sooo… Poor Kuroumaru. He’s like, having feelings from Touta since looooong ago, s/he just hadn’t the time to deal with his/her feelings. Something I expected Touta himself to help her/him with.
But no.
And Seimei, I know you’re gonna read this comment, so I apologize to you in advance, but seriously, I’ll have to complain a little here.
And by “a little”, I mean a lot.
Because now we have all of a sudden Akamatsu saying: “You know what, noooo, forget all the other characters! You’re having ToutaxEva even though that might sound kinda sorta Mothercon, and you’re gonna like it, because I’ll force it down your throat.”
Also, on Eva’s side that sounds ok, because at that point in time she didn’t know Touta at all.
But now think about it from Touta’s perspective. Basically speaking, he’s getting in a relationship with a younger version of his mother! It’s almost like Back to the Future, but instead of trying to prevent it, the MC is effectively trying to get his mother to love him. o___O’
Let’s face it.
Santa hasn’t been relevant since his arc.
Kuroumaru is getting as much attention as Dana’s furniture.
Karin… Wait, was there a character with this name? I don’t even know anymore. If at some point in time there was someone called Karin, I think all this mess with 365635687827986464 timelines has erased her from existence.
Hoodie is… No. Actually, I’m glad this one disappeared.
And then, there’s Dana. God, I wish I could throw the MotB, Bernkastel, Gilgamesh(with EA), Dio Brando(complete with Road Roller), Galactus, Alucard from Hellsing, The Millenium Earl, the AntiSpiral and DeathStar Remina at this character ALL AT ONCE, because man, is she turning this story into a mess.
She just suddenly appeared like a “shipper on deck” character and everything started…
For the love of God, may this arc(?) end and this $%#@ of a character disappear back to the wormhole from whence it came.
It’s like she is the one writting the story to better suit her shipping fanfictions.
I wanna make this very clear: I’m not bashing Holder as a whole.
I’m bashing the way this arc is being written as a whole.
I was liking UQ Holder a lot up to the point where the LM appeared and I still had high hopes for this arc up to the point where… Touta left. I actually loved how he was starting to mature as a character, and then all of that gets thrown out of the window.
…From that point onwards, each chapter has been a bigger disappointment than the other.
AND DANA’S TO BLAME!!!!!
Whoa! Well first of all, not do not worry my friend, you I know you do not do any bashing ^^ This thing is adjusted proceed in order.:
1. I am not bored by Tota x Eva but I do not like it in the siame time I already said. Already because of mothercon indeed (but i am a fan of Rikuo x Hagoromo-gitsune/yamabuki-Otome in Nuramago so I don’t think to be legitimate for speak about that lol^^)
But mostly because I value my theory that we are in the timeline B (Asuna sealed). witch would be a way to “make the connection” between the end of Negima and future end of UQ, I would find it very interesting. But if Eva gets couples wth Tota, then it will have no reason to go through the universe! I think in fact that Kuromaru would be a better choice or even better … karin. I’m not like particularly this character, but I have not forgotten the words of Eva that their immortality (Tota and karin) were on the same level and so they had much in common. And I like the duality they would create: the union of the light and the darkness, the angel and the demon ^^.
On the other hand I’m still not convinced that Tota and Eva will end up together … And I would be never convinced until the epilogue. I still think Tota will be just the “way” that leads Eva to Nagi. Just because I think she never forgot Tota but she never cpncider him as her lover but her son during their two years together.
And also because their meeting in the Rift are increasingly spaced in time and it is even possible that after a while they stop, altogether.
When she is found again Tota in 2084, she has no longer the same relationship with him; She now loves Nagi and Negi.
I think these encounters in the past are there to prove to Tota that Eva saved and raised him, because he was “himself”, not because he was a clone of Negi. Because I recall that is the main cause of the crisis of identity and the courrent fear of Tota.
2. The fact that the characters seem useless and do nothing are just thing that often drives the spring arcs. And Santa just joined the team and he himself is also in formation. Patience my friends …
For Karin, why would she be here? She has already mastered the possibilities of her power, expressed implicitly. She just does not want to use it. Anyway, she is part of the “old”, she does not need to strengthen like the “four rookies”. As for Ikku he is a robot, the “updates” may well serve as “training”.
And for Dana, you’re probably understand that but instead I LOVE this character. A following delicious fusion between Alucard, Yuko Ichihara and Rakan, yes I love it !! And I love the stories of time travel and dimensionnal travel ^^.
But I chord with you on one point. This arc is very VERYYY SLOW! Good blood Sensei!
You elipse training in the “cave” (a good idea), you can not do the same thing-here?
On the one hand it would keep the surprise for the progress of the characters, making the future battles even more breathtaking. And other hand, precisely … WE WANT THE FIGHT! Blood, sweat and epicness! Or possibly revelations about the plot! For example I WANT to see other “true shinso” like Dana!
Dana definitely attracted me to the last chapter and I want to see what the other can do! I also want a clear update of “the power Rakan scale.”
But I did not want to take the training heroes for 40 chapters please! Make an ellipse sensei! Honestly who successfully complete training arcs in dragon-ball or other shonen? I had a tendency to zap voluntarily personnaly lol
2. With a title like “UQ Holder!”, it’s no wonder many people are questioning the importance of other members. With how things are lately, it wouldn’t be weird if the title were “(something) Touta (something)”. Forget power-ups, even just showing a little bit of other member’s daily life is still better than showing nothing about them at all.
Title is “UQ holder!” Not “UQ Holders!” So i guess focusing on One person (namely Touta) probably already fit the title.
No, the difference between “UQ Holder” and “UQ Holders” is like “family” and “families”, because UQ Holder is a name of an organization.
*IMO, of course
😆 Well, Super Touta does have to take the role of the one and true UQ Holder. 😛
Well, that was the story I wanted from the start. For me, Eva, Touta, and then Kuroumaru slowly traveling down, where Touta could start to truly learn about life as an immortal as Eva and Kuroumaru tell stories, which we of course are shown. Man, that would have made for a potentially awesome manga in terms of story and doings proper character development.
😆
Just read chapter, it’s pretty nice. [spoiler]Touta finally understand their daily meetings are stretched weeks and months and years at a time for Kitty. A bond has been made between them, while or not it lasts into the future is another story. After all centuries is long and hard thing.[/spoiler] We maybe finally reaching the end of this training period thank god. I hope…
I think we just ended the Eva portion of it.
