MonsterEnvy posted:I thought finding each Wall would be it's own Arc. show us on the doll where the shonen series hurt you  To be slightly more serious for a minute, this does seem a little earlier than I expected. But I'm glad the author has a fixed end-point in mind and as people have noted, we don't know exactly how long a "last arc" is going to be.

While I would happily read about Ray and Emma's adventures for a very long time, I'll be happy if the authors can finish the story they want to tell the way they want to tell it. It seems like there's four major things left to do: 1.) Find the seven walls. 2.) Meet Scribbles and make a new promise. 3.) Rescue all of the farm children. 4.) Get everyone safely to the human world. A fifth could also be Norman escaping and joining up with the main group, or doing whatever his story is leading to. Either way, while they can enter the "final arc" and start the endgame, it's not like this is ending in a few weeks or anything.

Now that scribbles is relevant again, Yugo's name basically mirrored the secret name shenanigans, didn't it? The promise will be legible name. It's the Never

That was one hell of a chapter! Really cool to see demon towns, and even demon kids. This feels like the right way to do a time skip, where you don't have to go back and explain everything that happened in the time you skipped. Really surprised that Norman beat Ray in the poll. And Musika beat Lewis for Most Popular Demon!

I also appreciate that I knew every character in the top 20 with the single exception of Anna. I guess she just never made an impression but apparently she's been around since Gracefield. Also, regarding the chapter: Yeah, this was a good time skip. It moves us significantly closer to the deadline but not an absurd amount, things can still get done. And they told us the important stuff that happened in the meantime, which is also good because it shows what a severe undertaking this really is- if it happened in real time over the course of a few weeks or months it would've felt a little too easy. This way, we know Emma and co are great for getting it done but they also had to work their asses off to do it.

Fell a few weeks behind on all my manga other than OP so spent a nice Saturday morning catching up on this from the chapter when Gilda and Don set out with Ray and Emma. Had seen a tweet where people mentioned the series ending but hadn't seen anything in the series to indicate that until I caught up on this thread and seen the tweet stating it. It seems super fast but the final arc could be a year or so, who really knows. Also I'd rather a series ends timely than going on for a long time with no real plans, so many great shounen had an incredible first arc or so and then divebomb into poo poo. I don't mind the magical stuff because it still seems fairly limited and I expected something like this considdering "separation of the world" was a literal thing that happened etc. TriffTshngo posted:if anything bad happens to phil i'm closing this thread and disconnecting my internet forever

Emma and the others have been living in the shelter for what, a year now? Several months at least. They knew someone would come for them sooner out later. There are weapons in the shelter, and enough material and stuff to build things, like, say, booby traps; if not, they can harvest what they need from outside. Plus, they're all super smart and talented kids. What I'm getting at is: loving  those dudes who came a'knocking.

One thing I wonder about, in the new chapter: The Day and Night where Emma met Scribbles may not be a real place. I wonder if the Golden Water will just induce the state she fell into at Cuvitdala and allow her to meet him and his draggo again. Then the other kids will have to protect her while she's unconscious until she successfully makes a new promise at which point the Ratri Clan will lose their authority. I don't see the authors having the kids slaughter humans, so this would be a way to get around that.

This series is usually mid-to-high in the weekly rankings and still has an anime coming out, so I'm confident that this arc is going to last for a while even if it feels we're rushing into it.

It kinda feels like they're rushing through this overall which is kind of a bummer since they could've done a lot more intrigue and expansion on the world but the author I think always intended for it to be a short series. I think they said we were halfway done around the end of Goldy Pond so the final arc will be as long as the entire manga so far.

Mulderman posted:I still cannot get myself to give a drat about all these new characters. Compared to the core cast they just feel... expendable I guess The only characters that genuinely matter at this point are Emma, Ray, Norman, Gilda, Don, Phil, Yugo, and Lucas. There are other good boys and girls but the new bunch of characters don't really matter any more than the other however many kids who escaped with Emma and Ray do. If you dislike Yugo or Lucas then I can't help you because personally I like them a lot! but saying that you don't care about, like, Pepe or Gillian is like complaining about not liking Anna or uhh -googles- Lani. They're minor supporting characters, it's fine to not care about them if the core cast is still fantastic.

I like all the kids. It's nice how they're all extremely competent and involved in every plan. It's not like they're dead weight being dragged around by the main cast, I get the impression they've all got their own things going on. And the artist does a good job of giving them all a distinct look, which is impressive given how many there are.

I like Yugo, but that's probably because he's been such a big part of the story ever since they escaped. Plus the dude has had a pretty interesting arc to follow. Can't really say the same about Lucas. But it's useful to have a few larger guys hanging around that can also get into physical conflict (especially now that we've got human enemies to deal with) There's a few characters from the new batch that are interesting. Like Adam and Gillian, (even though that last one is mostly due to having a fun design) but it's pretty obvious the manga struggles to balance such a huge cast.

Emma caring so strongly about the younger kids and making sure they all make it out alive is enough of a reason for me to care whether or not they bite it, and I imagine Lucas feels similarly about his group.

The kids are partly there for the perfect score even if they are all pretty individually competent. Emma has made it clear that absolute victory where everyone survives is the only acceptable result so the large cast helps raise the tension on how insanely difficult that goal is.

Jesus. It makes sense now why nobody died during the Goldy Pond battle. If they had, this would have just been a continuing trend of randos dying. By holding back til now, Emma watching people die and being unable to save them has a lot of impact and adds to the hopelessness. Please be safe... Gillian!!
