I love everything in that quote :allears:

Especially Evankhell, she's been a named character since the very earliest chapters and now that we get to see her in action she's completely stolen the show! What excites me the most is her relation to Rak though. I hope they get to interact as Tower natives

Well despite not being able to read any dialogue I read chapter 336 and it was pretty meaningless since its obviously a dialogue heavy chapter after whats happened :v:

When if the last time SIU broke the 3rd wall to narrate to the audience like that? The only one that come to mind is during the prologue, and I'm not sure if that counts.

Edit: Actually it doesn't seem like that narration is coming from SIU, so I wonder if it's coming from someone specific like The Tower's Axis User?, or Headon?, Arlene?, Enryu?

Also, looking at some older stuff, here's something from Season 1 Chapter 56:

Maybe we're finally going to get that Tsunami that Hansung Yu predicted in 2014.

Hansung Yu is also part of the action in the most recent chapter, so it might be him again.

I took the narration at the finish to be coming from Ha Jinsung, who's beaten but not out and savouring the eventual defeat of his enemies.

Hm, I don't think it's him because this part seems to be talking about him and I don't think he'd be talking about himself in the 3rd person.

I think that's referring to Maschenny, who wants to shed more blood than Jinsung.

I thought Jinsung was the one clearing the way by holding back Kallavan and supporting his God, but you're right it could be Maschenny who's clearing the way by removing Jinsung the babysitter.

Well it may not matter who's actually saying that line, and if it does we'll find out eventually.

I was interpreting her "needing to shed more blood" as the "clearing the way" part. She seems disappointed that Jinsung has mellowed from his pre-appearance reputation for basically slaughtering anyone associated with the establishment on sight. Also, I think she has a crush on him.

(Maschenny is evidently very C-Spam. Actually I wanted to post Evankhell's whole bit about how elitists should just die if they set foot on the battlefield with her there, but it's a pain getting the image files for that long of a sequence).

This is how I feel too. We got a small glimpse into her personality with the data version of herself (well done SIU) and she was pretty reckless and bloodthirsty to bite the hand that fed her in Data Jahad.

At least it's going to be nice and warm inside the Baam clown car after he eats a rare fire orb.

One of the comments suggests that they think it will actually be Rak that Evankhell will train..

On the one hand that would be a nice change, and an interesting direction, on the other hand I am not sure Evankhell even witnessed anything about Rak that would suggest he has a connection to those Ancient Beings of the Elements, or whatever they were called.

Evankhell showed direct interest in Baam after he hurt Kallavan, seems like the go to. Also Evankhell was sporting a big ol super powerful Orb so they might have similar inherent qualities.

It is a disservice to ourselves not reading this on a portrait monitor. Got a second PC monitor last week and changed the first one to vertical, think I will start this again from the beginning. Might help with the chapter drip during this hiatus.

In other news..a wild Gustang appears. And probably gets both another Princess (Yuri) and his pawn back (Rachel). I still cannot make out whether the guy is a complete villain or not, but then again, this holds true for many characters in this webtoon. He is certainly a major antagonist though in this part of the story though, or else Jahad would not have issued an order to destroy his family.

^{ps: Has anyone else read Aisopos? I started it a couple of days ago and was impressed both by the art-story (being Greek myself helps I guess) as well by the fact that it is a pretty majorly underrated toon, at least in Line.}

So Kallavan is just gonna dick around with a hole through his abdomen all the time is he.

It's always clumsy reading like this. But I'm glad Kallavan doesn't have a huge hole in his chest anymore, that was awkward.

We do not know what the bracelet/watch is about. The Rings are synonymous with what we think is Zahard's sons -- the same rings Wagnan and Karaka have and Wagnan is the spitting image of Zahard.

The one image of him still has a hole in his chest, he just sitting against a wall... which you can see through his body.

I forget, did Jahad have the little neck hook thingies that Wangnan has? That could help indicate whether Wangnan is his son vs. some kind of clone.

Wow, they just pushed the station master over and ran past him. I can't believe that actually worked nor did I consider that an option.

And Gustang raising the banner of rebellion and war officially is pretty great.

I guess he's still pretty pissed about what happened to his daughter

EDIT: Also, I'm starting to like Karaka actually. There's more to him than just being a villain. After reading what Gustang said, it appears that all the Important People knew that eventually their uneasy peace wouldn't last and perhaps a large part of that peace was spent amassing their power and forces for the day when a new war would engulf and rage through the Tower again. I have a feeling when the break ends in March we're going to see a lot of shake ups.

He consumed the essence of bravery

people commonly refer to bravery as, among other things, "spine"

essence of spine

he has spine all through his body

With Shinsu, anything is possible.

Yeah but LINE will be skipping a week so the official translation won't be out till next week.

edit: also be careful about looking around for raws/spoilers because the Korean Fanclub or whatever has advance copies dating up to 3-4 issues ahead, so you might look for the latest raw chapter lovely translation and jump weeks ahead.
