The tour of the apartment is anime original and very much appreciated. I don't think we've seen any of the Forger's rooms in the manga. Which may not be a big deal, but it's a nice detail to have.

We've had a look at Anya's room in the manga, but can't think if we've seen Loid or Yor's.

I wonder if there is a Yor vs Twilight fight in the manga because I really want to see one in the anime.

Not yet. The drunk Yor fight is as close as we've got.

(That said, she does kick him in the chin at one point, which we might hit in the second cour.)

I assumed "night" in relation to Loid's "twilight."

Apparently a coincidence, according to Endo in the fanbook.

Originally, Endo was going to call her Yolanda, with Yor for short, then he decided to keep it short anyway for the speech bubbles. (Had he gone with Yolanda, given it means 'violet', it would probably have got tagged as part of her floral motif.)

I thought that the next chapter after this was the glorious, dramatic bullet wound in the butt Saga. I really hope they don't skip it.

It's an Extra chapter, and they already skipped over the other Extra chapter, with the aquarium. Dunno if they're going to do anything with them.

The difference is that Yor is better at her job than Loid is at his. That, plus the nature of it, makes it harder for a comedic mission. Yor isn't going to humor a bad assassin who talks throughout the process, she'll just take them out.

Hm. If you wanted an assassin who talks throughout the process, then an eccentric colleague or rival would be more suitable for a Yor story - someone she has to work with or can't easily beat. It wouldn't be a straight-up Daybreak analogue, although they'd probably still fill the role of 'annoyance who really gets on her nerves'.

I mean, Yor's not the only Briar with superhuman capabilities; Yuri got superhuman durability from eating Yor's terrible cooking and surviving her enthusiastic gestures of affection, so something similar might have happened with Yor - that is to say, there might be a reason, but doesn't mean it'll be a serious one.

I feel like a movie would be a great way to do the boat arc but I'd be extremely down for an original story.

It's an original by Endo with him supervising.

What volume of the manga did this season end at? I want to catch up for the movie/next season.

It's not ended yet, but it'll end on the first chapter of Volume 7. (There's also one missing chapter yet to be adapted, Extra Chapter 2 in Volume 3.)

Also she has to know who the smart kids are first, 'cause she can't figure it out through mind-reading.

I don't understand a word of Japanese and no one's made a translation yet, but Anya's faces are good this season and that's what really matters.

I think I vaguely remember the Bond story but yeah the Damian story seemed new. Either way, very good. I like the casual implication that Bond wasn't making wrong assumptions at all and Yor's food really would've killed him.

The Bond story was Chapter 40, the Damian story was Chapter 39.

is this the anime or manga thread? anyway i stopped reading a while back and want to get caught up. Last bit I remember is the end of the bus hijacking. Does anyone know what chapter I need to get back into it?

You want Mission 75 (the epilogue) or Mission 76.
