Here is some SPOILER info for the upcoming UQ Holder Chapter 105, courtesy of 2ch. (My review of UQ Holder Chapter 105 should come out late Tuesday night or Wednesday, U.S. time, depending on when Crunchyroll publishes the chapter.)
UQ HOLDER Chapter 105 SPOILERS
The UQ Holder Chapter 105 goodness begins. This looks to be the chapter’s spoilers. ^_^
時間停止で2人きり
みぞれどころか、刀太&キリヱ以外すべての時間が停止した世界
鳥も飛行機も雪姫が背筋を伸ばしたはずみで爆ぜた胸のボタンも宙にとどまり
夏凜の様子を見にいけばしのぶの髪を流すところ(当然二人とも全裸)
九郎丸は胸のサラシ巻き直す途中
一空が試し打ちしている散弾銃の弾を、刀太は「後ろに回り込んで」つまめる
この新能力…無敵だ!!5秒どころじゃない停止時間はぶっちぎりの超越者だ!!自在に扱えるのであれば、だが
火を起こしたりはできるようなので、刀太たちは交代でシャワーを浴びる
お子さま呼ばわりされてカチンときたキリヱが刀太のお湯を煮えたぎらせると
……マッパで飛び出してきておちんちん見せつけられるハメになりましたその後二人で花火遊びしたりしたものの
刀太が気にしてるのはやっぱり…■刀太の特別が誰なのか、その横顔から思い出す。
I think whatever happens is a new ability for Kirie, but I really can’t make heads nor tails about what is going on in these spoilers. I get a feeling (and I could be very wrong) that everything with Kirie gets resolved this chapter.
Well, we’ll have to wait for a gracious person to provide a translation. The usual updates to follow, as required.
Update #1: Translation from Gamen.
Alone together in stopped time
A world where not simply Mizore but everything’s time is stopped other than Touta and Kirie
Birds, planes, even the button that popped from Yukihime’s chest when she stretched her back is stopped in midair
Going to see about Karin, she is washing Shinobu’s hair (of course, they’re both naked)
Kuromaru is rewrapping her chest
The bullets from the shotgun Ikkuu is test-firing, Touta “Go around behind” grabs.
This new power… is invincible!! A time stop of not simply five seconds is (paraphrased) overpowered!!If you can control it freely, that is
As it seems they can start a fire, they take turns showering
Kirie annoyed at being called a child boils Touta’s hot water and
… he jumps out stark naked and his dick ends up being shown offAfter that they play with fireworks together
Who Touta is interested in is like I thought…*Who’s Touta’s special someone, she recalls looking at his face from the side.
(No, I don’t think it get resolved in this chapter.)
Well, I did say I thought I could be very wrong about this being resolved. 😉 Thanks Gamen!
Update #2: Images from 2ch. (Sorry for the delay — my sleeping pattern is all out of whack, thanks to having to cover for India this last week as they are being flooded away.)
You know, there was a part of me that thought when the spoiler text came out, “I know Akamatsu-sensei could do this kind of tale, but it reads almost like a troll telling fans things to get them going in one direction or another.” Well, it wasn’t trolling at all, at least, not from some 2ch troll.
More updates, as needed.
I’m enjoying these character vignettes that Akamatsu is doing but I really just want to get to Ayaka.
Sadly, she’s long gone…rather like Mana. Of course, Ayaka was a much bigger tease than Mana, who at least had a bit of screen time, not some tiny cameo.
When was it confirmed Ayaka is gone?
Mana made sense since she’s acting-Headmaster(mistress?) of Mahora and the story left Mahora.
I guess we’ll see Mana again at the tournament unless the proper Headmaster is back(who I hope is Konoka).
Well, it isn’t confirmed in the traditional way, but how many days has it been since Mizore arrived? And the Kuroumaru date chapters implied the inn was empty (at least, as I read it). To me, Ayaka and Chachamaru dropped in as pure Negima fanservice to give Mizore a confirmed linkage.
As to Mana and the tournament…are you sure there’s going to be a tournament? 😉

Thanks!
I love the hilariously mangled English that Google “Translate” produces. Here’s the “translation” it gives me:
[spoiler]2 people alone with the time stopped
Far from sleet, KatanaFutoshi & all the time except Kiriwe stopped the world
Bird airplane Yukihime is stay in the air even button chest was bursting with momentum that up straight
Where to flow if Shinobu of hair go to see the state of the summer Lin (also of course two people naked)
Kuromaru is rewound chest of bleached middle bullets of shotgun that one sky is out trial, KatanaFutoshi is Tsumameru “It goes around in the back.”
This new ability … invincible! It’s not 5 seconds far from stopping time’s transcendence’s Bucchigiri !!
As long as it can handle freely, but
Since that allow or cause a fire, KatanaFutoshi take a shower in shifts
When the children cry has been Kiriwe that trees and Kachin causes Nietagira the hot water of KatanaFutoshi
Now Saddle to be confronted by penis to come jumping out at …… mapper
Despite his or fireworks play in the subsequent two people
KatanaFutoshi still am I care about is …
■ special is or who the of KatanaFutoshi, I remember from the profile.[/spoiler]
Yeah, machine translations for Japanese are pretty much worthless. There’s no way for the translation code to know what reading to take for the Japanese, so it goes default. It certainly can almost never tell where a name is.
So… We didn’t find out anything about kirie past nor power…
We only have new had to worry about.
Kirie can now stop time when kissing touta….
What
The
Hell.
Super Touta, man!
Surprise! It’s wasn’t kire’s power malfunctioning, but super Touta’s new instia kill power!
Heh!
I am highly doubting Kirie’s age. Since she can go back in time the only thing she gets would be the experience, she is still young. Just mentally old.
I mean, how in the heck would you be so old yet not even know what your powers could do?
Anyway, Kirie is more broken than Touta. But then, this means she needs to kill herself while wiping out her save point at the same time to stop time.
I am going to take a guess that this is the ability she got while training at dana’s, though she herself did not know it. That means we may or may not see Dana again.
I agree – it is a good observation, she’s never had a situation, while being in physical contact with someone else, and killing herself, and destroying the save point at the same time. Being in contact with someone is a option she uses when she defines the save point, where one option can bring others back with her. So its new to her too. Now she can really get re-con information by freezing time to see what is around the corner too.
BUT the question is when time starts up again, does she go to the previous last save point, a newly created save point before time was stopped, negating her poison pill, or continue right after time stopped, which means she dies from her poison pill she took killing herself, or she has a emergency immediate antidote.
Yeah, these are all good questions.
That may be how it would be, but then she’d basically be in a groundhog day situation. So she’d still have a finite life and she’d basically make the entire world immortal because to be immortal herself, she’d have to always reset back.
With all this talk about time stopping (and with Touta being a vampire), all that’s missing from this situation is a steamroller. 😛
Heh!heh!heh! Touta’s vampire element is always swept under the rug (for the most part).
This is the part that has me confused. In the beginning when Yukihime was bleeding and in body parts, Tōta made the choice to become a vampire/immortal and not die at that time, by drinking Yukihime’s blood that was spilled on the ground, since she was a vampire. Then we find out later Yukihime is actually Eva/Evangeline A.K. McDowell – a shinso (vampire) from Negima, in a older visual form.
So for Eva too, being a vampire is another one that I haven’t seen doing any blood drinking like a vampire. Classic macabra male vampires need blood and has a hypnotic power to attract, ensnare or control women so the selected woman becomes frozen or controlled by the vampire, and becomes a victim to the blood sucking, and female vampires tend to hunt males for blood. So maybe being a special high daylight walker she can be in the daylight, and maybe her development of Magia Erebea removes the need for blood. Also maybe… this is why the UQ Holder women and Shinobu are attracted to Tōta.
Another infamous ‘huh, what happened too ….” black Akamatsu abyss of no information.
If the latter half of what you said was true then Eva would have not had the need to suck Negi’s blood while training him. Since at that time she had already completed her M.E.
But she drank negi’s blood in negima. So the latter half of what your saying is not applicable.
just keep in mind aside from Jack Rakan (who can literally do everything you thought was impossible in a manga on accident) Eva is a OP character who’s stats are maxed out to Final Boss specs.
No disagreement with you, and I agree on what Eva did in Negima on Negi, but can’t remember the ‘current’ Eva/Yukihime drinking blood in UQ Holder from a body or in a glass or I didn’t remember seeing it – I’ve missed seeing other details too so I can be in error. Maybe blood drinking issues were resolved with magic.
Same here, i haven’t seen her drink blood yet. Unless Negi’s is the only blood she was willing to drink….. but you bring a good point about her not drinking blood in this series..
She did drink her fellow student’s blood in volume 3. However, after that time with Negi, there’s been nothing, including fangs.
In Negima, her blood drinking was mainly to fill her magic reserves, which were inaccessible at normal levels (or maybe drained) while on the grounds of Mahora (until the full moon at least, when she was able to gain some of her powers back). Without the curse and the anti-magic barrier that targeted Eva (and more), Eva behaves as a “normal” human being, at least in terms of food and drink.
If I remember correctly, Eva sucked Negi’s blood because of the curse Nagi put on her, not because of Eva’s needs as a vampire. And it had to be Negi’s, because he’s related by blood to Nagi.
That too. Plus as I have mentioned in other replies today, she needed it as a magical recharge while under the curse and anti-magic barrier of the school that targeted her.
She drank Negi’s blood as a magic power recharge mechanism. During the Eva arc of volume 3, she was drinking the blood of her classmates in order to build her magic power reserves in order to be able to go up against Negi and to try to defeat the curse. I know you remember that the curse kept her on Mahora’s grounds and the magical barrier of the school somehow prevented her from having the power to use her magic.
Still, I think the scene with Eva drinking Negi’s blood was Akamatsu-sensei going, “Oh yeah, she’s supposed to be a vampire.” But eventually, all of that was dropped as Eva drank tea, ate sweets, and did whatever.
Then we find out even later that although she’s been known as a shinso vampire, PSYCHE! She’s a fake one. 😉
I think that their attraction to Touta (who’s apparently a homunculus) is the massive power within him, partially from Negi’s genetic material (and whatever else). After all, even though he was a little boy, Negi had girls young women wanting to have his child. 😉
Basically, Akamatsu-sensei has played fast and loose with the vampire thing, which he gets away with because he’s never lain out rules in his universe. When Eva was introduced, she was more vampire like, being restrained because of the curse. After that, her vampirism is mostly forgotten, except here and there (such as her mentioning that when she was first turned, she had the weaknesses of a traditional vampire, which she no longer has). In UQ Holder, other than Akamatsu-sensei remembering to give a nod to that weakness line in Negima, Eva hasn’t been a vampire.
Akamatsu-sensei knows he’s not having the characters behave as vampires, which is why I think he had Touta question it briefly. However, I don’t think he’ll ever define it because that would be a limitation on what he can do.
@DerGilga Could you tell me about this German anime con, that Akamatsu-Sensei is going to attend. it would a great help.
https://twitter.com/EgmontMANGA/status/653511026814681088
I would love to go, but I don’t know where it is or where to book tickets or if you need a wristband like people did at New York Comic Con to meet Masashi Kishimoto (in which a very few number got to meet Kishimoto and a lot were never told they needed wristbands for the bookstore signing he did)) and it isn’t like the Paris japan-expo.
Where I could jump on the Eurostar from london, then be back by 10PM.
I ask becuase you had stated that you were German over on Animesuki.
what you posted isn’t about a convention, but an announcement for the german version of UQ Holder! which will be released starting march 2016.
Ah, I feel like idiot. I apologise. Thanks for your help.
I had wrongfully assumed it was a convention, because Tite Kubo had gone to a big German convention back 2013 and I had thought it was the same.
There will be a manga convention in march. It is the “Manga-Comic-Con” in the city of Leipzig. It is a joint convention with the “Leipziger Buchmesse”.
http://www.manga-comic-con.com/
And while I found a twitte of Akamatsu where he says that there will be a business trip to a “deutsches Fest”,
https://twitter.com/KenAkamatsu/status/653597984857321472,
I didn’t find anything saying it will be this one.
Thank you, the conventions name is appreciated.
Oh joy. UQ Holder becomes even more invincible/unbeatable/broken.
Also, no way the penis will be shown when Akamatsu won’t even show nipples. I’m assuming it’s only shown to the other characters.
It seems only to Kirie and no one else. Everyone else is frozen in time. Yeah, it won’t be shown, probably seen with it covered by something, or from the back.
Which appears to be what happened. However, that description made me think, “This could be a troll spoiler post.”
Spoiler images are up on 2ch.
Thanks for that alert!
That final page!!
Touta x Eva f*cking strong!!!
I see unrequited feelings from Touta to Eva, but that’s just me. 😉
Honestly as a Clone, Touta is merely acting out Negi’s affection for Eva, which if we remember Negi ‘confessed’ to the Fake Eva and was told to never repeat that to the Real Eva.
Touta’s feelings, at least 30% of them, seem to be just remnants of Negi’s feelings. Which like his status as a clone, he’ll learn that his feelings are not his own.
That is how I see it. *fires cannons at ToutaXEva ship from the U.S.S Stating the Obvious*
those shots have candy in them btw.
Don’t kill me.
I think Touta is a homunculus, not a clone (if he were a clone, he’d look like Negi), but your point remains valid. Touta had no romantic or sexual interest in Eva (Yukihime) until he saw Eva in her true form (as Kitty). That’s the form Negi always knew her from, so applying the inherited feelings theory, it would then make sense that this is what would help spur sexual and romantic feelings in Touta. Add to that Touta’s personal desire to help the woman who’d been his mother, and you get a guy who’s got confused feelings.
Personally, I want to see Eva end up with Negi. She initially fell for Nagi (in Negima!), but got a second chance as it were with Negi.
I hope figuring out starting time again is fast and quick.
Nice and quick solution for Kirie too, so that no one else will know unless Tōta talks to others, but still no one would truly know what happened. It seems there is more bathing and fan service. This arc/story moving as slow as Bleach does from time to time.
Well technically, it isn’t since what would you call the arc we are in? We’ve got lots of plot threads opened, each thought to be an arc until Akamatsu-sensei went somewhere else.
mmm OK I agree — wish we knew where we are going with the story… I guess I gotta be more patient….
Yeah, patience is the key here. I’ve long thought that Akamatsu-sensei just wants to do whatever story strikes his fancy rather than worry about telling big arc stories as he did in Negima. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t do longer stories (the trip to Dana’s is proof of that), but every time we think, “this is where he’s going now” (the tournament comes up a lot), we don’t.
I’ll ignore the rest of the chapter and talk about how hot Yukihime looks in that pose + outfit combo. 10/10
😆
I am starting to understand that the present arc is focusing more on Touta and one of the other major characters. Since UQ Holder! was created by Ken A., I did expect Touta to have a harem. The type of harem which Touta is going to have is a balance harem. At the moment, he is not noticing that Kuromaru, Kirie, and Karin have develoed feelings for him. Of the girls whom Touta consder to be friends, only Shinobu has no romantic feelings for him. It is likely that Shinobu sees Touta both as a friend and a brother.
Since Ayaka’s great-granddaguhter Mozure and Touta’s two female couisins were introduced, I have thought that the present arc was going to focus on some of the descendants of Negi’s class. The present arc seems to be focusing on the development of Touta’s harem.
Kiire isthe character who is simiiliar to Chisame. At first, Kirie had started out as if she has no feelings for boys. Her lack of feelings for males is likely as a result of her immortality. So far, I can only suspect that Kirie is a young immortal.
Well, the entire manga is about Touta and those around him, so that fits type. I still think the whole harem thing is being done due to poor manga sales.
Negima; harem, massive fan service in nearly every other four or five chapters, sometimes several in a row, Fight scenes OP characters, no OP shounen MC, = Money
UQHolder; Not a lot of fanservice. some teases from original series. Fight scenes. OP shounen MC = Poor sales
–Fix; add harem, panty shots, fanservice = MONEY!! *ding ding ding*
That’s how I see it since we are getting decent amount of fanservice now.
Yep. I’m not sure it will be enough though.
Funny thing is, I think Akamatsu-sensei could have abandoned the fanservice and harem stuff as he did, but in exchange, his stories needed to be as tight as they were in Negima (or tighter). Unfortunately, Sensei wanted to keep things as loose as possible in order to be able to tell whatever story struck his fancy, without being a slave to a big story like Negima. As such, he lost most of the harem, fanservice, AND the story crowds from Negima.
I was thinking Santa Sasaki being more like Chisame – He’s skilled with computers/electronics at Mahora, controlling remote cameras, his room filled with the multiple pcs and screens, and using his hands and ability for accessing/grabbing information and databases he was able to find background on Karin, Tōta, Kuromaru where he wondered about the male/female info, and found the Senkyokan hideout. He avoids attention by staying by himself in a room while manipulating computers to get the information he needs, and was for the most part alone in his room when he wasn’t flying around the school. He also deals with the spirits too for he is also one. If we were to meet a Chisame descendant — also talented with computers that would be interesting. Kirie seems to be more of a financial genius using computers and appears to love getting more and more money more than anything else.
