[Waking_Dreamer]

This chapter looks sweet!

Do we get to see Nues' shadow? Or is that one of his illusions?

[Carnevil]

I hope we get a good battle and nothing lame like Nue randomly decided to help Koga for whatever cliched reason.

[Waking_Dreamer]

Its been a while since there have been so many regalias in the one place and kings itching to use them!

I hope O!G cranks this shit up to eleven!

[windwaker]

Agito vs. Nue DO WANT.

And then Ikki, Kazu, Aeon vs. Nike? Sounds awesome.

So wait, how many kings are there? Didn't get a chance to really look hard at it.

Nue needs somebody to jump in so thats its 2 vs. 1, and then Akira drops out of the sky all badass and we get an EPIC team up.

[Carnevil]

Summary by Suarhnir @ mangahelpers

-so one plane is going in to land, the military guys are waiting on the side with their guns ready to shoot after the plane stops. just as its about to touch down, you see all of koga with aeon on the the one plane (doing the usual 'bu-korosu' chant). the military guys are still holding, and the plane lands... but they are instantly confused because koga is no longer on it, only paper airplane guy who is surrendering from the cockpit. turns out that the team was an illusion made be aeon and kazu.

-the military guys aren't able to stop koga, and ikki, kazu, and aeon (who are zooming past everyone) make a beeline for nike. however, they are stopped by agito, who fangs them (aeon being the only one to evade in time)... agito was the first to notice the wires and was stopping the 3 from falling into the trap. nike was actually an illusion (hallucinatory image) made by nue.

-nue covers the deck with his wires, and electrifies the crew (to get them out of the way) justifying that the crew isn't really involved in "their fight' (between koga and genesis). nue then tells them where rika is (at the core area of the ship). ikki give nue the chance to switch sides but nue states that ikki isn't able to carry the weight of the sky by himself (in other words, nue is choosing the side of genesis/sora)

So Nue is planning to solo whole Koga + Homo Clock? Good luck with that, bro.

Oh don't worry Nue will fight for a few then Ikki will do something and Nue will be like "i didn't see it before you're the one" then he'll put Ikki's balls in his mouth and the fight will end.

Hopefully Agito stays while the rest go on ahead.

The kazu/agito combo in the last match was cool, but I wanna see both of them (and buccha) have one vs. one matches.

I'm figuring OG will do the cliched thing and have Agito fight Orca. It's too bad though I was hoping to see Nue take on the lightning dude from SF.

[S3raph]

im just praying to god that nue doesnt get held up by onigiri the way that onigiri held up blackburn in the OSFvsKoga fight >.<"

[Carnevil]

I'm hoping Nike rips Onigiri's spine out. Seriously if he doesn't die or get severely injured I'm going to puke. God I can't wait for Nike to own some fools.

I hope Nike nonchalantly bitchslaps onigiri off the side of the boat.

And Nike is definitely gonna own some fools. I'd be pissed if he didn't.

[tornadoking]

Nue is suited to fight a lot of persons but a lot of greatly skilled persons, not really.

I'm guessing that the tranny isn't participating.

Maybe Kazu will fight Orca.

OG gave us a homo-emo combo.

[Subeta]

I dont know why nue doesn't just join with kogarasumaru, it's so silly that he beleive's sora has good intention's for anyone. except his own greed for himself. But A Agito vs nue doesn't sound bad at all. totally want. btw sano need's ta stop being a flamefag and give kazu back the flame regalia

Nue wants a world where gravity children can be free and live without having to hide. He wants that for the kids that are on his team. Sora obviously believes that gravity children are better than normal people. So Sora's dedication to gravity children would give them control of the world if Sora gains the sky regalia. It would be a world where gravity children wouldn't have to hide because they would be in control.

ahhhhhh ahhh! ok now i see where his views are coming from, thanks i can totally see that

[windwaker]

Maybe Kazu will fight Orca.

OG gave us a homo-emo combo.

I don't see how this would be all that interesting.

Either it'd be on the aircraft carrier and Kazu would rape, in the water and Orca would rape, or Orca would be jumping in and out of the water launching fangs while Kazu waits for the right moment to strike.

I want him to have a fight where he can actually move, that was the only thing that bugged me about the last battle.

[Carnevil]

I could see Agito staying behind to keep Nue occupied while the others go to free Rika. Then Orca takes out Nue so he can fight Agito. I see Orca being the type of person to do this type of thing.

You have a point there. I just don't see anyone else doing it if not Agito. It would be interesting if kazu was firing flames, orca was firing fangs. Big explosions, etc. But I'm not sure if orca need water for the regalia or not.

That would be so fucked up. I don't think he can do that though. If he wants the fight he could ask for it.

[Reflector]

I'd bang Orca. Does this make me gay?

[tornadoking]

I'd bang Orca. Does this make me gay?

Yeah it kinda does. If you would still bang simca/ringo/emily etc. you still have hope. If you'd bang taeko however you're gay...she's not really a female.:eek:

[Carnevil]

Yeah it kinda does. If you would still bang simca/ringo/emily etc. you still have hope. If you'd bang taeko however you're gay...she's not really a female.:eek:

Eww who would wanna bang Simca it'd probably be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

[Reflector]

Eww who would wanna bang Simca it'd probably be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.I was going to say something witty like that but you beat me to it.

Brofist.

[GravityZero]

Wait... Taeko's not female? Oh crap. T_T

Aeon vs. Nike must occur. Kazu's a furfag and should stay out of the fucking way while superfag Aeon handles Nike's rectum, multiple times over.

Golden Truth, EFFECTIVE.

Oh please Aeon is a five second fight for Nike. Hell all of Koga should be easy pickings for Nike. If OG has him have a hard time with them it'l be annoying.

No way. With Ikki's "vacuum", there's probably nothing Nike can do concerning Wing's Road. If it's only a battle between the Gem and the everyone else, Nike will probably get raped. However, Aeon has the best reason to want Nike's cajones on a hot platter. Bastard killed his best friend and put his friend in a test tube to blackmail him. However, Aeon has obtained the Flame Regalia now. Back in teh rooftop battle, he surpassed cripple-Spit's and outright hit Sora by overcoming his body's limits. And now, he will provide a powerful opponent to Nike, at the least, it should not be an immediate dick wipe.

Ikki's A-T's aren't going to be able to handle another storm attempt besides would that trick really work inside the ship. Wow he surpassed a cripple that's like outrunning a kid in the special olympics. He didn't even do any damage to Sora when he hit him. That and we've already seen that Flame Road is not a road to go against Gem. I guarantee you Aeon will be killed in the upcoming battle it's the only way for Kazu to get the flame regalia.

He would surprise Nike for five seconds I guess but his precious time doesn't work on Nike sooo whats next. Time mirror takes too much out of him and so does his super duper speed. He's really fast though I'll give him that; since he dodged Agito's fang ahead of Kazu. Nike vs Aeon would be one of those fights when the character actually says he's gonna lose.

Go aeon!!! Who's next to surpass benkei :rofl:.

Flame vs Gem with what we know now about flame road but maybe we'll see some new stuff since kazu has to face Nike later on.

Kazu ain't no furfag. Actually, what's a fur fag? Somebody who likes male furries?

However, Aeon has obtained the Flame Regalia now. Back in teh rooftop battle, he surpassed cripple-Spit's and outright hit Sora by overcoming his body's limits. And now, he will provide a powerful opponent to Nike, at the least, it should not be an immediate dick wipe.

But I agree with this. Aeon's the fastest person in air gear now that he's got cyborg legs. That was his only major flaw and now he's good. That and he's got the flame regs, so that should give him a pretty significant boost.

Aeon vs. Nike would be a good fight, although I still don't think aeon could win. I'd like to see Kazu back him up at some point, since it'd be a good bit of character development given how he shit his pants and did nothing last time.

But If kazu's going to fight Nike later then he needs to show him now that he's at least good enough that Nike is interested in fighting him (If only because of the enjoyment he'd get from wtfcrushing him just like he did spit.)

[Subeta]

I'm wondering if ringo and the other's will get there soon. i think ikki and ringo vs Nike could create a shitfest for him. if ringo's body can handle the Sonia road's consquence longer. Kazu vs Nike? Eh o_o; i can't see kazu winning unless OG really derp's the shit out of him. he handled aeon and spit like they were F-class instead of A or S. and if kazu really pisses nike off this would happen -----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIZRCaOO-sY&NR=1

Where the did you get that Aeon has cyborg legs? It sure wasn't here. http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/240/12/ Also Nike is going to be defeated aboard the ship Kazu may play a role but he won't be fighting him one on one ever. Even Kiric knows they don't stand a chance that's why he's sending Ringo.

OM is all kinds of fucked up, but yea I wasn't sure of it when I said it.

But given that Nike is the #2 to the bad guy, I doubt he'll be taken out now. He'll go down in the final battle.

And I think the jury is still out on Kazu vs. Nike.

You keep analyzing this manga using logic and intelligence, which with any other manga I'd certainly agree with you, but I don't know about AG.

Oh please, there's nothing wrong with that. Follow this step to step guide to get over your problem:

1. Go to gelbooru
2. type "Watarase_jun", "Koga_Norio", "Loran_Cehack" or just plainly "trap"
3. Enjoy being a real man.

Nah Ref, man I can deal with lolis or nerdy wallflowers, sometimes even thicker bitches if everything's in the right place, but penises are an absolute turn-off. And that's red truth for me. As chiche as this sounds, I'm not a homophobe, I admit some gay dudes pull off a very good chick before their "little secret" gets a stiffy, and I'm from fucking New York so I'm a total hippie free love democrat nigra. Just not attracted to males sexually.

Why so serious? It's all good when it's 2D. You guys need to watch some Turn A Gundam or Narutaru. Baka to Test too.

[GravityZero]

Read it. GAY.

Although Nue's intro was pretty cool, everything that followed reeked of gayshit.

[Reflector]

Did Nue always have that huge ass ahoge? I don't remember noticing it before.

Also Franky's cleaner sucks. The scans are sleazy and dirty.

[Carnevil]

God Ikki is such a douchebag. I can't wait to see Nike own them fucks.

[Subeta]

How is ikki a douche by going to save his sister? O.o he basically told Nue to join him, or go by the way side. if i was out to save my sister. i wouldn't give two fuck's about anyone who want's to still be on sora's side. he killed two guy's i respected. yoshitsune and Spitfire. (Not physically kill yoshitsune in the flesh but he had nike do it) and uhhhh let's see has my big sister as a hostage. how does that make him a douche? just wondering, Ikki really isn't one of those normal main character's that do the conventional shit. or anything respectable. and that's what i like about him. i'm just wondering what he did to make him a douche

He's arrogant as fuck and every time he opens his shithole of a mouth I feel like punching a baby. Sure what he does is nice and all, but I can't fucking tolerate how he acts. And I usually have a pretty big scope of tolerance.

Nagi from TT had a similar unlikable personality, and he was hated so much that Oh! Great decided to make the deuteragonist the new protagonist in the most recent chapters.

[Carnevil]

I'm so sick of hearing about Sora and Nike killing Spitfire and Yoshitune. It's not like they were walking home from the pet store with a puppy and Nike just ran up a stabbed them. They both deserved what they got. Spitfire deserved it for being dumb enough to follow Sora and Nike twice. Yoshitune deserved it because he planned on attacking the winner of the tournament no matter who it was.

[GravityZero]

Exactly. This is no less than a fucking war, shit happens, causualties result.

[Subeta]

Deserve what they got...uhhhh let's see Spitfire was gonna make kazu the Flame King, So You Kill him? Oh he really deserved that. Yoshitsune may have egged Sora on. but as far as sora seen it. their team didn't need gravity children so he just had him be rid of. i like ikki and nagi because of their arrogance. And the Fact that most of the time either one has shown they can back it up. Mostly Ikki. Make's it tolerable for me. i guess i'm more of a tolerant person though. so yeah. haha.

[GravityZero]

You can't be serious, I'm sorry. Normally I can respect another person's opinion, even when I disagree with it, but no, just no dude. There's nothing about Nagi's character that's redeeming, he basically won the Superpower Lottery (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperpowerLottery) with Dragon Fist and then became absolutely unstoppable (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StoryBreakerPower) in black dragon of shinto death mode (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperpoweredEvilSide). He's cocky because of his bloodline and the fact that he's stealing everyone else's power (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MegaManning) instead of training like every other character does is laughable. Nagi's trained twice in this entire series, one week to get the stock hadoken and again for a single day to uncover his dragon. After that, he went from OMG THIS IZ TOO EASY (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InstantExpert) to OMG KEWL MOVE I WANT IT (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllYourPowersCombined) to I'M GAWD NAO GTFO. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AGodAmI) without any effort on his part. Like wtf.

That's why everyone (perhaps including the author now it seems) thinks he's a overexposed undeserving prick (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWesley) of a shit lead (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ProtagonistScrappy) and everyone likes Masataka/Bunshichi/Madoka/Kabane (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnsembleDarkhorse) a lot more. It's why Masataka (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakoutCharacter) is our new pr0tagonist, to great applause from me at least, and hopefully Buccha (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Acrofatic) gets lead of Air Gear (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AirGear); Badass Normals are the fucking shit nowdays, and it's been true since Batman beat Superman's ass with his bare hands (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassNormal). =/ So there!

I could go in on Itsuki Minami just as hard, but I'd repeat myself a lot and Carnevil's fully capable of shitting on Ikki's exsistence without help. If you really want my opinion fish through my past posts.

Ref, imo, you NEED to skim through the pics at the end of ViVid chapter 3 (http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_ViVid/3/20/) and the beginning of c7 (http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_ViVid/7/01/) (and then you gotta tell me who the princess in c7 looks like to you? (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FateStayNight) :D)

[burnedalive]

Ikki isn't overpowered enough to meet the same fate as Nagi. Sure he's seen as a genius, but we know from earlier chapters that he secretly practices just as much, or more, than the others. Sure he get's his hurricane road shit, but all-in-all it seems no better than the wind.

I have to agree on this one Ikki wasn't overpowered like Nagi. Ikki really hasn't won a single big battle without help. But recently OG has started down that path with Ikki. The whole Hurricane Road thing came out of nowhere and now all of a sudden Ikki can stop all of Sora's attacks. But still nowhere near Nagi's level of bullshit.

[iMeh]

Well that sucks. Nue's the type of guy that sticks with the winning team...

Go talisman mummy guy for my new fave char.

[Subeta]

o.o; i think you misunderstood me,

i just said Ikki can back his stuff up more. i personally don't like nagi all that much either. not because he's a prick. or thinks he's the shit. i just feel Masataka is a better lead then him. Ala bad ass normal as you said. which is why i love bunshichi and masataka. i'm just saying i'm tolerant because most of the time Ikki doesn't talk shit then lose. and he does work really Hard. Even though oh great is trying to make him all haxzor's against sora. i guess i should've explained more so sorry ^^;

actually, i dont think i really Like Nagi At all. except at the beginning. But now i feel the same. all the whole power thing is just bleh. there is however one arrogant person in air gear i dislike. but he back's his Game Up. Nike Takeuchi he's cocky as hell. but for good reason. so i do want him to show Kogarasumaru if he does end up fighting them that this isn't gonna be a walk in the Park

[Reflector]

Sup iMeh. Haven't seen you on here in a long time. Welcome back.

The whole Hurricane Road thing came out of nowhere and now all of a sudden Ikki can stop all of Sora's attacks. But still nowhere near Nagi's level of bullshit.
What was the principle behind Ikki's wind neutering ability again? I remember it being something incredibly convoluted and stupid. Was it that shock BS with the bus?

It's scary how well you know me and my interests. And yeah, the princess looks exactly like Kotomine, that's what you meant right?

I don't really get what's wrong with being arrogant. You just like a certain type of character and Ikki isn't that type. I hate orihime and some people kneel before her ass.
Nagi was cool till he started collecting powers like pokemon.

I could go in on Itsuki Minami just as hard, but I'd repeat myself a lot and Carnevil's fully capable of shitting on Ikki's exsistence without help. If you really want my opinion fish through my past posts.

Ref, imo, you NEED to skim through the pics at the end of ViVid chapter 3 (http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_ViVid/3/20/) and the beginning of c7 (http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_ViVid/7/01/) (and then you gotta tell me who the princess in c7 looks like to you? (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FateStayNight) :D)
I still don't see that much of the Ikki hate necessary but Nagi hate is necessary. I liked Nagi at first but OG shitted him up by making him so powerful and making bob shit at the same time. That just showed that Nagi was getting bs powers and it wasn't the regular level of growth but a completely fucked up one. I mean seriously, he made the dude able to collect powers. That's seriously messed up.
I have to agree on this one Ikki wasn't overpowered like Nagi. Ikki really hasn't won a single big battle without help. But recently OG has started down that path with Ikki. The whole Hurricane Road thing came out of nowhere and now all of a sudden Ikki can stop all of Sora's attacks. But still nowhere near Nagi's level of bullshit.
Nothings really wrong with wind graveyard. By stopping sora's attacks he also stops his and it takes all the team to do it(onigiri is just there) so I'm not sure if it could even be called Ikki's attack.
