Kono Oto Tomare [Chapter 82 - Blue Moment*]

[*or Blue Hour is the period of twilight in the morning or evening when the Sun is at a significant depth below the horizon and residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade that is different from the blue shade visible during most of the clear days. Source: wiki]

After putting his shoes on, Michi tells An that he’ll be going out. “Is it really okay? Leaving Hana-chan to your care and also school--” An assures him that it is alright since it is just one day. “Besides, Hana-chan’s fever is almost gone! ...compared to that, you properly tell the others what I told you yesterday.” Somewhat glum Michi quietly looks at her.

In school, Atsumu is somewhat tense as he goes into his classroom. He sees Natsu looking out the window while listening to music on his earphones. He approaches Natsu and calls out to him.

Natsu doesn’t respond so Atsumu goes in front of Natsu and calls out to him. Natsu removes his earphones and apologizes for not paying attention. “What is it?” Atsumu says regarding Michi, the others went to his house to help out. “I think that I should also tell you, Momoya-kun...”
Natsu smiles and says is that so, then that’s really great. Atsumu looks surprised and finds it strange. Oka angrily shouts at Natsu that he isn’t replying back to his message again! Natsu says that Oka is so noisy. Furious Oka shouts that he’ll definitely sever ties with him.

Natsu laughs and says that except for Oka, he’ll properly answers the others. Oka shouts, ha!? While backing away, Atsumu finds it strange since Natsu is obviously smiling yet how come it felt that he is so far away. “Was I mistaken...? But--...”

He recalls Natsu muttering before as to who isn’t looking properly. He recalls telling Chika before that he doesn’t want to learn koto from Chika. Then, he recalls accusing Natsu of not properly looking so he can casually say those words. Flustered Atsumu wonders if he had misunderstood something again.
At the faculty room, Suzuka shows Takezou and Hiro Natsu’s notice to quit the club. He tells them that Natsu gave this to him this morning so he thinks that he should tentatively tell them about it first. Takezou is tense over Natsu’s desire to quit the club.

He says that even if it was written that Natsu wants to work but did he say something else. Suzuka says that he didn’t get to talk with Natsu since this notice is simply left on his table. This surprises the two.

Takezou nervously thinks that obviously, it was necessary for him to hurry in telling Natsu about Michi’s issue. “If that issue is the reason for him to quit--” Shaking in anger, Hiro mutters what is that guy doing, what is he thinking—
To Takezou’s surprise, Hiro’s slaps her face with both hands then says that it hurts. Takezou worriedly calls out to her. Hiro apologizes and says that it is because she is always too impulsive that she doesn’t think through things enough. “I just want to calm herself. In the end, I still don’t quite understand Momoyan-kun...

...Honestly speaking, I have no way of liking that kind of person... But...but, he said that he’ll play koto and he always play seriously. ...if it is because of his family issue that he must increase his time at work. Then, we have nothing to say about it...

...After all, it has happened to Michi this time around... ...Everyone is thinking a lot of Michi. Honestly speaking, we absolutely don’t have any concern [/worry] towards Momoya... so...” Takezou agrees with her.
He apologizes to Suzuka because as third years, they really should be more attentive in observing each person’s needs and think of [/consider] them. Suzuka slightly smiles over this. Takezou asks him to please give this notice to him temporarily for safekeeping.

Narration: “Do not be anxious. Do not be depressed. Right now, what I should do is--...” In class, Natsu’s cellphone beeps. It is a message from Takezou. Natsu thinks that he forgot to block LINE [so that they won’t send him a message]. He presses Takezou’s name to either ‘hide’ or ‘delete’ it.
At the roof, while having lunch with the others, Michi is glumly eating his sandwich. Sane asks what’s up and doesn’t he have any appetite today. Michi snaps out of it and denies it. Chika asks if there is still something that he cannot stop worrying about. This made Michi tense. He recalls An telling him to properly tell the others.

Michi tells them that since this morning, his stomach feels really uncomfortable. “It is coming out right now so I’ll first quickly go to the toilet!” Someone angrily shouts that’s gross to death and they are currently eating. Michi sheepishly apologizes and says that later on, he’ll directly go to afternoon practice.

Kouta says okay, see him then. Sane tells him to be good and show up. Chika and Tetsuki look a bit concerned. Standing behind the door, Michi recalls them telling him that it will be more relaxed with everyone sharing the burden. He gloomily walks downstairs.
Meanwhile, Takezou is waiting on the roof of some other building. Natsu calls out to him and apologizes for arriving late. Takezou says that it is alright and thanks for coming. Sitting beside him, Natsu says no, he thinks it is best that he apologizes face-to-face. This surprises Takezou.

Natsu says that he is really sorry since he obviously said that he’ll join the Nationals and they made the score to include him. “I’m too irresponsible. But, I think since I cannot participate, I should [tell him] earlier--”

Takezou interrupts by asking if he is really quitting the club because of work. While Takezou looks straight at him, Natsu pauses and smiles to say, “If not, what other reason is there?” Takezou says that Natsu practically doesn’t let others understand his real thoughts.
“In interacting with others, you’ll maintain a definite distance. I don’t think this is something bad at all. I also think that it is alright if you feel that this way is relatively relaxing when you come to participate in the club activities.

–but, during that previous time, regarding Michi-kun’s issue, Momoya-kun-- *looks at Natsu* --that is the first time you took the initiative in wanting to properly have a closer relationship with others.”

Natsu looks surprised. He looks at Takezou and asks, ...huh? Takezou smiles and asks if he isn’t aware of it. “...even if your way of expressing is quite awkward but despite having the awareness that it is possible that things will worsen because of your situation, you still voiced out your own opinion.” 
“That is, for us to go and be more attentive in considering the current situation. Isn’t that so? If it is the Momoya-kun who had just joined the club, I’m guessing that you definitely won’t show any interest regarding Michi-kun’s issue. Momoya-kun, you have changed a lot...

...So, I think THIS [notice of quitting the club] is also because of that time before, which has made you think, ‘it’s really difficult to stay in the club’ and ‘I cannot blend in with the others’. ...if I can do things better then there’s no need for you to say those words, I’m sorry [for that]...

–Momoya-kun, even if opinions are different [/conflicting] or perhaps, there is some quarrel, it doesn’t mean that the others are rejecting you. They simply do not know... *scene of former band members asking Natsu why he doesn’t show up a lot*...

...why you would think that way, and what are you feeling. *scene of Atsumu asking why he’ll use that way of talking and Michi asking why does he have to say those words* So, I hope that you can really try to properly talk out once again. Before you try to go and properly confront, I hope that you won’t easily abandon and leave us.”
Natsu looks surprised. He recalls telling his former band members that if they think that way upon hearing him play, then that’s that, telling his boss that it is nothing, won’t do it anymore, and smiling as he asked if they don’t understand. There is a scene of him walking away from the others. 

Giving the notice back, Takezou says that for the time being, he’ll first give THIS back. “Aside from me and Kurusu-san, the others still don’t know about it. It is okay even if it is simply just a little bit...

...If you are in the mood to go back to the club, then come back anytime. *stands up to leave* I’ll wait for you.” Natsu continues to sit after Takezou left. It’s dismissal time. The others are leaving school or going somewhere else.
In the club, Akira says that it has been a long time since they practice in separate rooms. “Please everyone, properly carry out individual practice.” Everyone says okay. Takezou asks Atsumu if today, Natsu has already went home again.

Flustered Atsumu says he doesn’t know because he didn’t go back to class since the lunch break. Takezou says is that so. Hiro and Michi look a bit tense. Just when Takezou is telling the others about the room assignments, the door opens and Natsu enters. This made Takezou call out to him.

Natsu apologizes for being late. Takezou looks at Hiro who is as relieved as he is. Takezou exclaims that it is alright, and he is just in time because they are going to start practice. Kouta excitedly greets Natsu hello and Natsu greets him back.
Natsu and Michi glance at each other. Michi quickly looks down. Natsu recalls Takezou saying that ‘they simply don’t know, that’s all’. Takezou says that the room assignment for today, Hiro and Atsumu will be in the broadcast prep room. The two says okay. Takezou says next, is the Japanese-style room—

Michi quickly asks if he can practice there at the Japanese room today. Michi thinks that these few days, it is quite unbearable if he stays in the same space with Natsu. Takezou says yes, there’s no problem. Natsu glances at Michi who apologizes [to Takezou for the trouble].

Takezou says then, he still lacks one person-- There are scenes of Natsu’s encounter with Michi, Sane and Atsumu which are interpose with what Takezou said, ‘They simply do not know why you would think that way and what are you feeling so...’

Natsu holds up his hand and says, “Can I also practice in the Japanese room?” This surprises everyone. Narration: “...So, I hope that you can really try to properly talk out once again.”
Comment: This is really nice. Takezou’s talk + advice got through Natsu and Natsu is actually responsive to the advice. I guess Natsu realized that he has been giving up too easily in dealing with others. It really helps that Takezou reached out to clarify things.

In a way, it takes two to tango. In Natsu’s previous group, they complain, he gives up but they didn’t bother trying to get him back or talk him out of it. They also gave up. I think Natsu has done a lot of thinking that he didn’t go to class in the afternoon.

Atsumu is becoming more aware of making a mistake in dealing with Natsu earlier. It seems that he is sensitive enough to notice Natsu distancing himself. Now, what is Michi supposed to tell the others that he seems quite hesitant to mention it?

Maybe he’ll be able to say it later on...inspired by Natsu who’s taking the initiative to reach out. I’m sure the others will also respond positively towards this new development. Scans by 诺大王 of baidu.

  1. thank you for the summary
    I can't blame atsumu for his assumptions because he sees the world the way the way he was treated as child so someone with a different opinion = no harmony =conflict = no good specially in natsu's case wheredifferent opinion = being blunt. for natsu i think he is trying to avoid conflict so he runs away instead of explaining himself which is honestly something i too do as an adult so i can't really blame him and that's why he quit once 3 people told him he was wrong for being blunt about michi's situation which is too much to handle for anyone i mean indeed he could've worded hisstatment better (because he wanted them to move on with the practice schedule since they have no time before nationals ) and the other side shouldn't have been so emotional with their responce but michi is their friend /senpai and natsu is thi sway with words from a long time ago and that's why there is no helping it
    i'm really glad with the way takezou talked with natsu that was really observant of him because even me as a reader failed to see this side of natsu and i had all the picture but i'm also glad natsu decided to do something about it becuse that's the only way change can take place
    thanks

  3. As always, thank you Kat, really appreciate your work!

    I also liked how our little Takezou "manned up" and went talk to Natsu, I didn't expect that all. I mean, yea, maybe with all the group and all, but alone just like that? I'm proud of him, oh how kids grow fast these days, lol.

    I completely agree with your comment so I don't have much to talk about, really.

    Well, there're people that don't care, others that are all for it and the most religious are against - I myself don't care at all, but say, if she asked for my opinion I'd say she was beautiful just the way she was before the surgery, after all, I like and think true beautiful people don't need anything to actually be good looking, natural beauty always win, no need for silicone, face lift or w/e but you can do w/e you if it doesn't directly involve me.
    -
    Yea, the Dragon Ball Z was supposed to have Gohan as it's protagonist, so much that Goku was killed really early but the author - people say - was forced to bring him back due to audience demand, it wasn't doing well, so to speak.

    That's what the author did with DB, he invented more ways to bring people back, in the original, you could only die once - afterwards I lost count of how many times Goku had died, and there're characters that died even more, but are still alive due to it's popularity; They might not look, but the protagonists are almost 100, some even more, lol.

      Yup ^^

      Hm...interesting. Religious are against it because it is tampering with God's creation? Is that the reason? I think for others, it is also the issue of self-confidence. Perhaps like anorexia, thinking they are fat. Here, thinking that they are ugly or need to be 'perfect'. Actually, there are actresses here are already beautiful but they did it...well, they are still beautiful but I don't recognize them anymore. Lol 😂

      - - -

      I see. I got that idea at first but in the end, Gohan was pushed at the background.

      Haha...and they don't age.

      True.

      So, any comments on AoT? Do you think he's not outsmarted by his brother?

      I don't really know since some say that make up at all is a sin - vanity and that Bible passage where it says that it comes from fallen angel contact. Imo, they view it as bad only because of vanity since all vanity is vain, like the Bible says. I myself already said that I'm on the all natural ship, humans can't beat God's creation ^^ - speaking of which, I'll link you an image of an "scientist" that says that "science" could improve, enhance and make the perfect woman: https://twitter.com/theAliceRoberts/status/1005720287739039744/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1005720287739039744%7Ctwgr%5E363937393b636f6e74726f6c&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.news.com.au%2Ftechnology%2Fscience%2Fevolution%2Fhow-to-upgrade-us-meet-alice-20-a-biologists-vision-of-the-perfect-woman%2Fnews-story%2F7e92a859f382ad6a13194c4993930bcb

      But I agree with you, some people do suffer from self-confidence, especially when they're not even comfortable with their own body. To each their own, as they say; I always say that nobody's perfect and even Jesus was ugly to begin with, so we should work first in our personalities and obviously work on our bodies since I do believe it's temple of God and it's always good to be healthy - this coming from a sick person sounds like hypocrisy, right? Though I didn't got sick for lack of caring nor for caring too much, lol.

      I can't think those look good, most of them look like dolls or something, not a nice view to my eyes.
      -
      Yea, and that's why I'll say, first Dragon Ball was the best, lol.
      -
      I have none, really. I mean, I have tons, but most are just ramblings of how the author is just buying time and how bad of a move was to cut the action and emotions from the whole to focus on this two right now how Eren was obviously make Zeke see things other way so on and on... So yea, I got nothing this time; was really hyped to see the guys reactions to Eren's "death", but now whatever the case might be I lost interest. And time is paused ffs!! So even when everything goes back to normal it might look like Gabi just missed the shot and I'll stop here, really, have nothing good or interesting to say this time around, lol. You?

    3. The link is all strange, but if you copy and past you'll see the science perfect evolution of the female human body according to the scientist - and there are people saying it's better that what God created, well, again, to each their own ^~

    4. I see. Lol, that image seems like out of a science fiction horror. Personally, I don't like 'mutant'-looking creatures so I don't like alien type movies. Couldn't watch Star Wars too much because of it. 😅

      It maybe the perfect woman but then, it isn't aesthetically appealing. Thinking about it, aside from beautifying oneself for oneself...isn't a part of it is to attract the males 😛 That is if we base it on Cinderella-beauty and beast-type of stories.

      That's new...Jesus was ugly. Where is this from?

      True. Well, those who are already sick won't be inclined to think of 'beautification', right?

      'most of them look like dolls or something' <- actresses there or models or both?

      - - -

      Like you, I'm expecting to see the reactions but it turned out to be like that. It is suppose to be who is outwitting who but somehow, something is off because it doesn't seem to be too exciting. Perhaps because of how it is done like in A Christmas Carol. Now, let's go to this scene where this and this happened. Lol, maybe that's the author's goal so after this 'past', he'll be a changed man 😅

      Also, Ymir seems too weird/lame like what she really is lame. ^^; Like, that's it. Anyway, I guess this means that Eren still lives.

      Delete
    5. You got grossed out by the aliens in Start Wars? I was more disgusted with the story itself, but then again, people say I don't like normal stuff - if that kinda of stuff and bad writing is normal to them, what can I do? And yea, that "human evolution" looks much more like a demon than anything else I'm able to describe so, no thanks science, I'll stay with God original creation, thanks ^^

      I can only see it as a perfect grotesque monster, not even a female one, lol. I don't know if I got that you said right about the beauty and the beast part.

      As someone who had to analyze the story, I can see a lot of stuff there, good and bad, so would you mind clarifying for me?
      -
      Yea, in the old testament, Isaiah says he - Jesus - didn't have any physical attribute that'd make people go to him, his skin was sun burnt - not tanned - and he had a tired semblance. I don't remember the exact chapter, but I'll try to find the exact passage for you;
      -
      Well, some do think of not getting any uglier, but in my case at least, it's not even on my radar. Maybe just as a side look in order not to get even worse in more ways than one, lol;
      -
      Both, it's really not to my taste.
      -
      That game of who outwits who us tiring and not well done, imo. I agree that Ymir looks lame, but also fitting, like a slave, someone who sold her soul/will and is forever doomed now, that's the only part I liked it tbh.

      Delete
    6. Yes, they look well, disgusting. I thought, maybe I just don't like aliens and mutant-like stuff.

      Interesting...is this Star Wars as a whole? For me, I feel that there should be something more...well in the movies. I recall someone telling me to watch the cartoon which is more detailed.

      Hm...not sure if that is human evolution...more like plastic surgery gone very wrong. ^^;

      Sorry, that latter part is back about plastic surgery. Like, beautifying oneself isn't for one's self-confidence but can also be attracting the opposite sex. In those stories, the guys usually don't pay much attention to the uglies until they transform. We have a lot of those stories in drama.

      Thinking about it, those who are in showbiz, plastic surgery can be a big help in one's career.


      Sorry...ah, what should I clarify?

      - - -

      Interesting, I haven't heard of that before. I do know that he isn't as beautiful as in the paintings. I have a bible picture book before that drew him totally different from how he is usually depicted.

      Thinking of it, if he is handsome and everything, I don't think they will choose Barnabas. What do you think? I'm somewhat applying things on how people tend to be more forgiving/lenient with good looking people.

      - - -

      Haha

      - - -

      I see.

      - - -

      Hm...sold her soul/will to? Do you mean like there's a backstory to her? Talking about that, it makes me wonder if somehow they talk to her to break the curse?

      Delete
    7. Hm...speaking of aliens-mutants in media, I can actually somewhat tolerate it like in Attack on Titan. Perhaps, depends on the story if it is good enough to bear with it...or it isn't exactly that 'ugly' <- anime. I don't think I would have bothered with the manga if I haven't seen the anime. I guess it depends on the art/aesthetics. 😅

      Delete
    8. Yea, me either.
      -
      I don't know Star Wars that well, watched the movies more like a chore - because my friend made me tbh - and didn't see anything worthwhile, especially the new ones. The old ones at least had an story more thought out, still weak imo, but oh, well, compared to most films nowadays you can say it was way better, such a sad thing.
      -
      That looks more like hybrid between demon and something else, it doesn't look like a human at all. I'm sure Darwin and those who likes his "theory"'d love that, lol.
      -
      This part I didn't quite understand: maybe the perfect woman but then, it isn't aesthetically appealing. Thinking about it, aside from beautifying oneself for oneself...isn't a part of it is to attract the males �� That is if we base it on Cinderella-beauty and beast-type of stories. - especially this cinderella-beauty quote.

      About plastic surgeries, I agree, I get and understand, it's just not to my taste, you know? And ofc, people want to see beautiful people so it only makes sense. To me though, it's another way of selling yourself to others while pretending to be someone else, and those who want to boost their confidence by doing so are also deceiving themselves but that's just my take on it. Like I said, I think God's creation is always the better one, no matter how one might look.
      -
      Anyway, the passage is on Isaiah 53, right at the beginning.
      -
      One of the stories wasn't that she made a pact to the devil/earth to get that power? If so, that made sense, if not, I gather she's tired, really, really tired. I know I'd be, lol.
      -
      Well, the anime sure has a better art - or should I say, one that it's easier on the eyes, while the manga, especially at the beginning, had always the rough, dirty and even brute kind of art that imo fitted the atmosphere of the story quite well. I mean, they were being slaughtered, betrayed and fighting to survive at every single panel, it made sense until the author decided to "change" somethings in order not to get too much backlash from the "fans";

    9. Films nowadays...the hero movies? Or, the others? I don't watch movies anymore. 😅 I have a bad habit in movies. Like while watching midway, I wonder if this is going to wrap up soon and just look at my watch. Then, guess more or less if it would be an abrupt ending...say everyone fights/enemy dies.

      - - -

      The ears seem alien like the Spock in Star Trek. Is it for better hearing? It's weird to have a pouch though for the baby like a kangaroo.

      - - -

      Sorry for that line. Must be sleepy or something. What I mean to say is why would the perfect woman be ugly. Does it mean that she doesn't need a mate/men? In stories, fiction or at times real life, one has to be beautiful.

      Beauty and beast isn't the fairy tale itself but rather, stories wherein the girl is ugly, the male lead doesn't pay attention to her. But when, she magically becomes beautiful/plastic surgery, the guy start to pay attention and like her. In our local stories, it is usually the girl who is the ugly one.

      I see. But true, ideally, it should be like that. I can understand that, too but not quite so with people who are already beautiful but would tamper with their face especially the nose. Perhaps, it is a psychological thing.

      - - -

      Thanks for the info ^-^ I actually haven't heard of it being mentioned here during sermons and etc. It is mostly on teachings.

      - - -

      Ya. Haha... It makes me wonder if everything would be okay if say, Eren tells her to 'be free' or something. Will that work?

      - - -

      Backlash if he kills the characters? Oh...from the magazine cover, it says last season on autumn 2020 for the anime. So, it's ending or for TV ending....hmm....

      Apparently, attack titan has a special power...

    10. You know I'm actually the same? It's been a very a long time since I actually enjoyed a movie. Watched one last week that I did like, but not that much. Just like you said, once you know the "gimmicks" of how things are made, rarely you get positively surprised. And nowadays the CGI and special effects are what matter most, plot and even acting is just there for the sake of it. Most of the times I see myself stopping the movie or getting out from the room in about 15min in, lol.
      -
      Well, it's not the size nor the shape of the ear that actually helps one to hear things, right? Bats only hear through their ultra sonic resonances, not just because of their ears - so if humans don't learn how to emit those, the size and shape is just w/e. See the dolphins, they don't have ears but have the same ultra sonic waves so...

      It's said - by her, ofc - that it'd be easier to give birth that way. I don't know and don't even want to know how it'd be, but that's what she tried to explain that abomination.
      -
      Aaah, I see, I see. So it doesn't actually involve the story itself, that was that had me wondering, what did she meant by that? lol. Yes and I'd even go further as to say it's always psychological, if wasn't, people'd be just satisfied with how they are and wouldn't need change anything. It's always on their heads, imo. I mean, why change if you don't think anything's wrong?
      -
      It's rarely spoken tbh, people don't want to imagine Jesus as "ugly". Just see how they portrait him, he doesn't even look like any jew from any time in the world. Not even David - which is said to be of "fairly" light skinned, hair and eyes wasn't like that.
      -
      Did you read the last chapter? I like this Eren, though it was a bs imo - again - this time around was a bit better. Eren really is the best Attacker. Let's see how he goes about now.
      -
      Yea, it's ending and I don't think it's just for anime. It wouldn't make sense in my eyes otherwise. I think both'd be ending at the same time.

    11. True.

      Haha..if it isn't, is that shape of ear aesthetically better than what we have now? Since it is about evolution...it should be better in some way, right? ^^

      Ohh...kay. ^^;;

      - - -

      True. In some ways, is it possible that it is related to job? I recall an ad about increasing height pills. The skit is, s/he cannot get that job because of his/her height. So like improve one's look to get that edge to get that job.

      - - -

      David...the statue? I recall that he is said to be rugged being a shepherd and warrior. David seems to be always in statues...right now, I don't recall a painting of him. ^^;;

      - - -

      Yup. Hm...regarding, who is outwitting who? Because he is into 'freedom' and will get back at others who wronged him/others.

      Ya...will he be able to stop it? But then, wasn't it mentioned that Eren's wish will happen. Ah...that is? Wasn't it mentioned before?

      - - -

      I see. I'm thinking if it is the anime first, they'll create a 'different' ending. Though, most likely not.

      Yea, I know some people that couldn't get their dream jobs due to height/looks/appearances though they supposedly met the other requirements. I myself lost some jobs due to how I look/talk/am so yea, I get that sometimes you need to change to get what you want. Anyway, everybody knows that the better your looks the better your changes in everything really.

      That's another very wrong impression of him. His brother were warriors and he only defeated Goliath because he went to bring their brothers their lunch, lol. He was short, rather frail and often looked down because of that. It was even said that a child was going against the giant - that's why it become such a legend - people always tend to portray their "heroes" that way, then again, while he wasn't a warrior nor rugged, he always protected the sheep against bears and other beasts, but that was because of God's blessing, he never fought them head on, always throwing stones from afar first, then finishing off after he knocked them down.

      That's why I don't like "time travels" stuff, it got even more confused now. Remember when Eren was crying right back at the first chapter, asking Mikasa when her hair got that long? If that was so, I mean, Eren's will come to be, then I don't think he'd be crying and the chapter name wouldn't be To you, from 2000 - which gives me the impression that he failed and is trying to go back and change something/everything; Then Grisha says that Eren will succeed and ask Zeke to stop - which'd lead to the first chapter name and Eren's tear and the phrase he keeps saying, gotta keep fighting, no matter how many times... So, yea, I'm confused and don't know what to expect for sure. It could be that he fails to stop Ymir, dies or watch their people die off - they won't have kids so it's only a matter of time - even if he doesn't see Mikasa or Armin deaths, for a bitter end we go back to the first chapter, for an even worse ending he sees them dying and he himself lives through the memories and goes back to Owl and then the first chapter. OR he succeeds, either way, though I don't know what to expect I can't really be surprised with this options.

      Yea, that'd be bad imo. So I think both manga and anime might end at the same time. They might delay one season a bit - though at the pace the manga is going I don't think it'd be needed.

    13. Haha ^^ Well, beauty is on the eye of the beholder 😁

      - - -

      True.

      - - -

      True, but later on, he fights, right? That's why Saul got jealous of him. Ah, are we talking about when he was younger? I don't think he gives a good impression since Samuel thought that the one he is going to anoint as king is the older brother based on appearance.

      - - -

      Ah, yes, same here. I'm not fond of time travels. Kind of like time loop?

      - - -

      I see. I'm thinking maybe if there is a violent reaction to the manga ending, they'll do a reverse in the anime 😅

    14. Exactly! That's also why I have this natural beauty is always better anyways, lol.
      -
      Yea, irrc, Saul gets jealous because he fails at everything while David always succeeds - God's blessing - even if he himself didn't know a thing about actual wars and such. But he loved God, though always sinned, he truly repented and God loved him, so Saul seeing his people/subjects always praising David and not him got in his nerves. But yes, he does fight later on, but like you said with Samuel, he was never one to have the "right" appearance/looks.

      It only gets confused. Tbh, the only time I've seen it and didn't get convoluted was in Fairy Tail, and even so, it got like, aaw, come on!

      You what? You might actually be on point, so much that it hurts, they can actually do that, especially 'cuz the anime is so much more "loved/popular" than the manga itself.

    15. I see ^^

      - - -

      True. I'm thinking he is good at it it because they were praising them like this,
      Saul has slain his thousands and David his tens of thousands

      - - -

      Oh...there's such a thing in Fairy Tail.

      We'll just wait and see then ^^

    16. Sorry for the late reply, I was kinda waiting to be in the mood to read the new chapter and comment all in one go, but then my health started acting up again and went under the weather real fast that I still haven't read it. Besides, I've been studying some other things that completely take all of my time, I need to manage it better or I won't be able to do anything - not that I do a lot of things being sick and all, lol. Sorry again, Kat.
      -
      Yea, part of the reason was that, too. But we can't forget that Saul was kinda messed up, too. Only calming down when David himself'd play for him and stuff, it was only a matter of time if we think about it, not even taking in consideration the whole promises/prophecies.
      -
      Just a little, not to the point of getting too paradoxal or complicated, though it'd be hard to explain if you haven't read/watched it, lol. Anyway, I'm not liking this development, but I am loving to see hellbent Eren giving no second thoughts to what he thinks he must do. Nice change of pace comparing to the "princess" Eren from before, lol.
      -
      I'll try to reply faster next time, sorry again.

    17. It's okay. Hope you get better soon ^^

      - - -

      True.

      - - -

      Haha, true. For me, it isn't exactly princess rather, damsel in distress.

      No, don't worry. Take care of your health ^^ Reply when you're okay. Read when you are in the mood and feeling better ^^ Get well soon~~

    18. Thanks Kat, I'm doing kinda better, I mean it's come and go but I'm getting there.
      -
      Yea, I like this savage Eren, and speaking of it, did you read the last chapter? While I didn't like - because it didn't show nor have anything I wanted to see - I saw a very good writing and got a somewhat satisfying explanation from the titans origins.

      Thanks again ^^

    19. That's good to hear, Fê. Hope you're doing well ^^

      Sorry, for the delayed response. I got hospitalized and apparently, your comment must been buried among comments before. ^^; I only backtracked to check if I missed your comment.

      - - -

      Yes. It is okay. True. Haha, even if the art really bothers me to concentrate on the plot. ^^;;

      Hope you're doing well.
