With Operation Strix on the line I wonder if this will be the arc where Twilight starts realizing he legitimately cares about his fake family.

Here's some this is a joint Twilight/Daybreak operation (the latter has been hired as a mercenary for it) At any time "Wheeler" could be either of them and this whole charade is to sell those documents' authenticity. And then at the end of the arc, I dunno, four pages of Daybreak/Nightfall ship bait.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:the one he approached was yuri, so that wheeler is definitely loid. his job is to stall the stasi, not infiltrate them or catch wheeler. Yeah, his mention is explicitly to stall the SSS, and he explicitly knows Yuri, so he knows he can use Yuri to manipulate the whole organization. e: the real twist is that the other guy on the last page will be the real Wheeler thetoughestbean posted:I appreciate that the thread will never forget Daybreak despite him showing up for a total of one chapter he was in the background of the tennis arc as one of the many opponents that Nightfall/Loid destroyed.

thetoughestbean posted:I appreciate that the thread will never forget Daybreak despite him showing up for a total of one chapter Speaking for myself: 1) he's a fun one shot character to poo poo on because seriously, he's the local Wimp Lo. 2) since the joke would get stale on a second showing (cameos where he gets owned don't count) he'd get expanded characterization if he showed up again and I think our boy has potential. Also come on, what are the odds* he accidentally picked a code name in perfect sync with Wise's top agents' ones? There's clearly something deeper with our dumb pretend spy. *(100% because it's that kind of manga but  let me dream)

It's hard to imagine Loid immediately and completely bunging up his one task so it's got to be him as Wheeler. Only thing I don't get (unless I missed an explanation) is how he knows about the tie pin Wheeler used as a signal. He mentioned having worked with Wheeler in the past, but as part of the Westalis intelligence service -- it seems like it would be really bad opsec to be using the same signal on both sides when you're a double agent. But maybe he gets confused easily so it was easier to just go with the one tie, and he just shoots anyone who gets suspicious; he seems pretty good at that part

Loid is dressed as Wheeler and then Wheeler shows up dressed as Loid, Loid isn't sure about what to do in this situation. Yuri remains Yuri.

Based on Wheeler's observation from the hotel, there seems to also be at least two other unmentioned Wise agents involved.

Honestly, the simplest play here would be for Loid to show up right now at the meeting spot looking identical to Wheeler. He doesn't have to do anything refined, just spread chaos and confusion.

I'm gonna be disappointed if this doesn't happen now.

Electric Phantasm posted:With Operation Strix on the line I wonder if this will be the arc where Twilight starts realizing he legitimately cares about his fake family. I mean he basically hints that he has genuine concern for Anya that is probably bordering on caring for her, and I don't think he dislikes Yor at all. The fun part is how dense both Loid and Yor are to be witness to both their capabilities and not able to put two and two together.

Even if Yor knows normal people like her brother are nowhere near Thorn Princess resilient and Lloyd being so should raise questions, it has been long established her mind is nowhere as sharp as her knives. Lloyd really has no excuses though as he has directly seen a boatload of superhuman feats by his wife. Whom he should kiss.

CommieGIR posted:Yor is an airhead, but she also knows a capable person as she fights them frequently. And yes, Yor needs to wine up and seal the deal. The way I see it, Lloyd while superhuman is not particularly close to Yor's level in combat and he's very careful about keeping his civilian mask up at all times. So she has far less information to suss him out. Disagree on that last part though, Yor should kiss her husband while stone cold sober.

So she has far less information to suss him out. Her anxiety wouldn't allow it, though it would be best for her to be sober. And yeah, during their mock fight for Anya's party in the castle, its pretty obvious if Yor was sober and intent, she could take Loid easily. But she was also drunk during that entire event so I doubt she remembers much to make the connection anyways. Hell, she was toasted before they even got on the plane.

He's acknowledged that her physical abilities are absolutely absurd. He just doesn't assume that it means she's anything unusual beyond that. And, to be fair, Yor was still ridiculous well before she started killing people professionally.

I'm going to throw out another theory: Loid replaced Yuri's boss (since we know he's done that before) and indicated that Yuri should accept the intel so they'd know where the meet was being changed to.

New chapter is out. (Chapter thoughts in spoilers since it’s still rather early.) We knew it was coming but this feels like the culmination of quite a few plot points. Wise gets a mole found out, Loid and Yuri both actually feel like they’ve got an opponent who could possibly get the better of them, Yor gets a small tiny scene that could be viewed a few different ways, etc. I actually feel like that description is actually downplaying it a bit too. The end feels like a cleverly placed fake out from another one of the fights also occurring but this manga has surprised us before with how they tackle things so who knows. It also almost feels like we’ve skipped straight to the action too, like there could have been another chapter of setup and it would have made sense but this approach works just fine too. Sometimes it is better to skip the exposition and go straight to fisticuffs lol. It’s definitely a tonal whip, even from the last chapter but I’ll be curious how things play out for sure.

Its exciting because there are so many different ways this could end up playing out. Personally I think the fight in the sewer is going to be indecisive/Loid gets away BUT he's wounded and we get that Thanksgiving scene from the first Spider-Man movie out of it between him and Yuri once we think he's clear

Loid is going to lose a fight he could otherwise win because when he’s ready to deal the killing blow he imagines how sad Yor would be. This will lead into a multi-chapter arc where Loid finally realises his own feelings.
