I didn't even know what a tournament arc was until about half a year ago. Now I'm looking back at all kinds of shows. And the main question is, "why?"

They exist in all kinds of shows where tournaments are just completely unrelated to the story. They just show up out of nowhere.

It's an easy narrative device to get characters to fight each other, especially if they normally wouldn't, and in many cases there are rules such as it being a non-lethal tournament so the characters don't just kill each other off.

I'm fine with the current developments, I think people were just expecting more lose ends to be tied off before getting to this point, but that's kind of how life works, not everything is going to be resolved neatly, and you aren't going to experience every bit of it. Plus it's building on the Buddhist themes set up from the start of the manga.

I'm glad Phos and their rock friends got to hang out telling stories and feeling good vibes for billions of years.

Surely the final chapter is going to be 108, right? It's gotta be.

Either 108 or 109 if we are doing a subversive thing

is that the last original piece of Phos??? madness! this manga is so wild, I can't imagine it continuing from here what with Earth being obliterated and all. But I didn't see a big "end" text so I guess there will be another chapter? Safe travels, space rocks.

this was ch 105. It's almost assuredly going to end on ch 108 due to it's Buddhist themes (unless it does something subversive and therefore goes past 108)

Wait so it’s gonna reach 107 chapters and not the meaningful 108?

To be fair, there's probably a thematical statement to be made about how it just fell short of reaching 108 given how the last chapter ended.

Im curious to read people's retrospective thoughts on the whole series once the final chapter comes out. Since I read most of the manga after the anime came out and then took a long break before picking it up again, I don't really have the full idea of what the plot is in my mind, but the overall impression that it lost the plot.

once the last chapter comes out i'm just gonna reread the whole series from the start yeah. The constant hiatuses really killed the pacing.
