Training Arc

Jul 1, 2007
Haha, they are so obviously trying to get him into their clan. It is an assault on multiple levels, what with the sex appeal, gifts, and logical explanations for why he should spend lots of time at their place. Before too long will come the offhand remark about how the really baller skills he sees demonstrated are only for clan members and by the way we have skill books you could use right here. Oh, and as it turns out Sae-Young is looking for a husband, who would naturally be inducted into the clan.

I don't expect it to work, but the situation should be good for some laughs at least.

I hope he doesn't mainly use the clan's skills because I like how he could learn anything he wants. Also he needs to check out the How-To section of a book store or just find some text booka.

I think he's definitely going to hit a limit on how many skills he can learn soon, and have to start deciding whether to forget skills to learn new ones.

When they switched from Frankenstein to Ignes at first I was kind of annoyed... but the whole sequence from when the droplet of water falls to the end was ridiculous. I love when Rai gets super pissed and just obliterates entire sections of the terrain because someone has harmed the kids. It was also kind of creepy when Rael, Regis, and Sera responded to the bloodfield and looked like zombies. I guess Rai's strength will last as long it needs to for the plot with him dying at the end.

I think rather his speed. Ignes left the room, the water dripped, and she came back (so it was a very very short time absent from the room) and there is Rai. Similar to when he shows up in these next few pages http://www.mangareader.net/noblesse/132/21.

That's my expectation as well. The combination of that and stat requirements is enough for our protagonist to have meaningful hurdles in any future battles to keep the tension up.

When can we expect to see a 500 episode TV series based on Tower of God along with 20 accompanying movies?

I hope that the series ends with Rai burping and/or farting and then committing suicide for doing something "not befitting the noblesse."

He only does that when he is angry, and he only gets angry on behalf of other people. Rai doesn't talk down to people otherwise.

Rai is kind of like Alucard (power wise anyway, personalities are a bit different) and when either goes all out is always fantastic. I like that we're finally learning a bit about the motivations of the traitors. Seems like Rai was going to have to annihilate Ignes in the way back which was at least Roctis's motivation. I'm very curious to learn more about the Nobles' history particularly around the Noblesse. Is Rai the original? Is that why he doesn't have a soul weapon? Rai seems to view it as his job to judge all "beings of power" which would include werewolves. He did seem to know a lot about them when he has healed M21 and has also been the catalyst for M21's werewolf powers.

I'm not sure if there were multiple noblesses, but the lack of a soul weapon doesn't mean he's the first. Soul weapons are passed down through clan lines, aren't they? He isn't really in any clan that we know of. If the noblesse are a clan unto themselves, the fact that they use their life force as power means they might not have anything left to put into a soul weapon.

On the other hand, if he's not in a clan, it might be because he's been around since the clans started, and he never affiliated with any of them. I feel like it would have come up if he'd left a clan once he became the noblesse.
