Ok so that’s a twist I didn’t see coming. First because Cody wtf but second because Cody is absolutely going to murder Hijack instead of sparing him for taking over his friend.

Okay, so Cody is a vampire (half). Now who's the witch and who's his mom? And perhaps, do both questions have the same answer?

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
I can't believe we all came to the conclusion that he must be Davy Jones and yet nobody thought to connect that to Cody Jones

Of all the things I dislike about this chapter it’s Cody that pisses me off the most

He’s emblematic of the chapter as a whole, just getting more and more focus piled on top of him until he’s an indistinguishable pile of quirks

Him crushing on the vice principal’s nose was cute but holy gently caress enough is enough

I partially agree with you here, I don't think Vampire Cody and the School Store are inherently bad, but they appear to me to be self perpetuating problem of Hijack arc is taking a long time, but Zach wants to move onto future plot/arcs that they've been sitting on for years so they've tried to frankenstein them in to the detriment of both aspects.

Ideally in my view we'd have Hijack Arc (with Dimetri reveal as it ties into the theme of the Activity Club being at risk of collapse) --> Short School Store "break" chapter ---> Next Chapter: I Can't Believe My Little Cody is Half-Vampiric.

Cody is a gay half vampire and a good boy.

Who else has a seemingly normal name? It seems like everyone's name is either a joke or a reveal now.

If you think using magical powers that threaten to kill half your classmates is cheating, you probably don't understand what hitball is all about.

Well, that actually explains a lot. Like why Cody accepted Max's explanation for Jeff's problems back at the store. Also,

People were jokingly calling him "Davey Jones" as part of the "he's totally a pirate" thing. It was just indirectly revealed that that's his actual name.

Cody's last name is Jones. We know this already.

That guy's name is Davy. We were joking he would be Davy Jones. Nobody made the connection between Davy "His last name is totally going to be Jones" Jones and Cody "We know that his actual last name is Jones" Jones. We not-very-seriously berating ourselves for not catching on sooner.

Wow I didn't even remember the Davy Jones bit was conjecture and not actually spelled out. Now everything makes sense.


Since President Ark linked hitball I started rereading and hey look it's not the first time Cody's eyes glow.


As an aside, Davy said "if the witch got her legs on this guy".

Yah know I’m not too surprised. Maybe it’s the fact a long time ago Max asked Spender what would happen if people found out and he just shrugged. Also the fact that seeing ghosts isn’t really this big ol you are the chosen one thing type deal. Poor Hijack though.

I'd bet the vice principal still. I mean. The woman started going on about boiling Jeff in a stew and stuff, among other things. Also Zarei's encounter with her shows that there's likely something supernatural about her, in addition to her overall weirdness and malevolence.

After her, Hm. Well, if we try to divine meaning from single words or past things, my next two guesses would be Lisa (called a witch in the past) or Boss Leader (powerful, has dream powers and Davey said the witch would be "a nightmare" with emphasis), but I probably wouldn't bet on either. Also Lisa was in hitball, so she'd presumably already know about Hijack, but her comments towards the end of that implied she didn't see him while he was out, etc.

Yeah she got bonked in the head while restraining him so she might've blanked on that one. http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-80

I'm loving these revelations though. Cody's a vampire, no wonder he's so got at Hitball and making friends, Davy Jones, Zarei's got history with the vice principal, Garcia's got spectral powers or something, crazy stuff just everywhere.

Oh right, Hijack didn't get revealed until after that. My order of events got a bit mixed up somehow when I posted before. Yeah, I suppose she's still a suspect then, though the VP's definitely my main suspect still.
