Here is some SPOILER info for the upcoming UQ Holder chapter 73, courtesy of 2ch. (My review of UQ Holder chapter 73 should come out Wednesday.)
UQ HOLDER CHAPTER 73 SPOILERS
The UQ Holder chapter 73 goodness begins.^_^
Here is the spoiler in Japanese (as best as I can tell).
さて本題 Stage.73 認識
キリヱや九郎丸が刀太に「あーん」させてはぶん殴るせいでろくに飯も食えず
三太がいなかったらどうなってたことやら千景は刀太の不死身の様子を見て、キリヱに君達も同類だろ?とカマかける
刀太一人になったところで、黒棒は敵の発言を肯定した
刀太はネギのクローンで「孫」というのが世代的なものか年齢差的なものかは不明
改めて看病にやってきた九郎丸に、刀太は雪姫が好きだ、自分を認めさせたいと言う
黒「諦めさせた方が君には都合がよいのではないかな少年よ」
刀「おいおい喋っていいのか黒棒」
黒「今更だな 此奴 先程の会話を立ち聞きしていた」
刀「えっマジかよ九郎丸」
黒「なあ少年よ いや少女よと言ったほうが良いのかな」
九「わ――ッ!?」
刀「まあその辺はいいや」
九「いいの!? 結構重要なことだと思うけど! 僕が言うのもなんだけど!」刀太は敵のことのほうが気になるので話を変えると
九郎丸が刀太の肩に残留魔力を見つける、そこに敵のメッセージが吹き込まれていた
まほら武道会本選で待つ、必ず勝ちあがれ、と
Really hard for me to tell what’s going on. However, for those of you really wanting the tournament, it looks like Hoodie left some kind of message with Touta to meet her at the Mahora Martial Arts Association finals. I’m not sure, but I think that’s the preliminary tournament that Touta was shown.
Well, hopefully the ever gracious ChaosProphet can give us the full scoop.
Update #1: ChaosProphet takes a moment from his busy schedule to give us the highlights.
Kurobou confirms the enemy remarks. Touta is Negi’s clone. He don’t know if the grandchild part is because of the age or generation difference.
Chikage notice Touta and the others are immortals.
When Kurobou was talking with Touta, Kuroumaru eavesdropped.
Hoodie says he is waiting for Touta on the tournament proper. (本選 is the actual tournament, while 予選 is the preliminaries).
Ah, so I didn’t understand that correctly. Well, that does answer how Touta goes into this tournament. Nice of Hoodie to put off killing Touta until he can do his tournament thing. 😉
Thanks ChaosProphet for taking the time to give us the scoop. ^_^
Update #2: Images, courtesy of MK.
Bwah!ha!ha!ha! Kuroumaru, follow Karin’s advice and become a lovely girl already. 😉
Do we really need to keep hiding Negi’s face and showing him from the backside? *_*
I wonder if we’ll skip the year to the tournament or if we’ll have some arcs before then, maybe meet/recruit the other members of UQ Holder from the colour spread.
I also hope Touta and the gang meet someone from Negima sooner rather than later, got my fingers crossed for Chachamaru.
Do people in the tournament fight in pairs? In that case I wonder who Hoodie will fight with.
Also, ever notice that Touta has two swords in the UQ Holder colour spread?
At this point, I think we’ll get these preliminary fights, then the main fight ’cause “tournaments.”
Yeah, I have noticed that. He may pick up a second sword at some point.
Sorry, as I’m a bit busy I will just do some important points:
Kurobou confirms the enemy remarks. Touta is Negi’s clone. He don’t know if the grandchild part is because of the age or generation difference.
Chikage notice Touta and the others are immortals.
When Kurobou was talking with Touta, Kuroumaru eavesdropped.
Hoodie says he is waiting for Touta on the tournament proper. (本選 is the actual tournament, while 予選 is the preliminaries).
Thanks a ton for taking time out of your busy schedule to provide this info. ^_^
Now that you mention it yeah he has two swords. Maybe from hoody. It could be that she do not want kill touta and she know that the others were nearby.
If only he possessed his intelligence
so the generation gap is shown, so touta being negi’s grandson isn’t just a pseudonym.
That Kuroumaru pic is killing me.
Yeah, I hear ya.
So here i wonder, was Negi able to age until a certain point for has he been using the Age changing pills for this long? Did they even state what happened?
I mean, I know they talked about the possibility of him not ageing but since his immortality wasnt complete like Eva’s he wasn’t immortal, just had a high powered self healing ability and whatnot.(started to reread negima and is at chapter 17 or something like that)
Ah but chapter 1 of uq holder made a fair point.
At what degree would you call someone an immortal?
Undying body that can never be harmed?
Eternal youth and can never age so you can’t die of old age but is still immortal?
High speed regeneration and recover from never all mortal wounds?
Resounding time and restoring one self to their peak condition?
Or regenerating and changing your entire body with a stock of lives?
Extreme durability is also considered one but u can still die, immortality comes in all forms and varying degrees so negi is immortal but he isn’t as powerful as Evageline who is magically connected to her limbs when severed. If anything negi might be in between kuromaru and Eva in terms of immortal ability.
To my knowledge, nothing has been stated on whether Negi did age or is using an illusion to appear older.
