Where are contracts mentioned in the first place? I must have glossed over that. Clearly Rai has a contract with Frankenstein (or so it seems to me anyway) but do we know any of the details about what this means?

The Breaker New Waves: 68 The elder of the Sunwoo clan continues to be utterly 100% awesome since he has come around. I hope that Shioon either avoids this guy with some bad rear end 9-arts dragon foot techniques or even possibly gets a shot in on him.

Tiramisu posted:Newest Breaker Oh definitely but if he has been working on his foot techniques he really only has to dodge him for a split second before the Elder stomps him. There's also the other retainer standing near him who is pretty bad rear end. Of course this probably means he won't avoid him because if he does I don't see how these guys make it out alive. I really just want Shioon to be fully recovered, trained by the Sunwoo/Nine Arts Dragon's videos, and said Nine Arts Dragon to show back up already.

New Noblesse. Great chapter just to learn what is going on finally, very  though.This sucks, I think we all suspected that Rai was more or less dying but still. I guess the story would be kind of boring if Rai had no drawbacks on his power though. I wonder how the Noblesse is replaced... seems like Rai might be the original one and with no soul weapon...? Also I'd love to see the flash back to the attempted assassination of Rai. Must have been most of the traitor clan leaders to have forced him to expend so much power.

New The Breaker: New Waves. Haha that poor guy, he's always getting the short end of the stick with whatever crazy plots he comes up with. Hopefully this wonder drug has now fixed Shioon's ki center so we can get back to the story. I love Sera, she's the best character in the story right now.

pnumoman posted:Naw, I'm guessing that this is gonna be the critical moment for his ki to come back; as in, the hulking out technique goes haywire or something because of his blocked ki and just restores his ki to normal or some poo poo. Whether I'm right or not, I think we're way overdue for the main guy to actually beat the poo poo out of someone. He beat Coolguy not too long ago which then led to some of the greatest scenes so far when the Sun-woo Elder went nuts. But yeah, it is about time his ki center gets fixed because this is getting ridiculous. Between the Black Heaven and Earth technique and the crazy drugs he's been on hopefully this is it. Then we can get some intense training arcs and ultimately back to the Nine Arts Dragon.

So about half way through he started to be able to use martial arts again, a step in the right direction anyway. The original series was kind of slow too but it still enjoyable to me. Nothing will ever compare to Veritas though... I wish that had gotten continued.

New Noblesse after the month break. Looks like we're getting a pretty cool flashback here. The Lord definitely forces Frankenstein to become Rai's servant, that's what the Lord will decide his fate/punishment is. I really like the Lord, his character is the best, and he'll give Rai a friend so he won't be so dour all the time.

lil baby anime posted:Two new chapters of noblesse have come out since it was last mentioned in here Yeah I kind of figured no one else was really reading this but me so I stopped posting it. Any flashbacks about Rai, the Lord, Frankenstein, and the betrayal are all more or less A-ok with me. I'm still predicting that the Lord decides Frankenstein's fate is to serve Rai so that Rai will have a friend. Not sure how it is enforced or why Frankenstein is so devoted but I bet that is how it starts.

Breaker: New Waves 99 Honestly I'm getting sick of the SUC. This whole we setup a trap, no we setup a trap, Sunwoo are are here we're saved, actually that was a trap too! bit is starting to get annoying. I hope Sera/Sunwoo elders were expecting this and counted on Shinwoo being able to survive long enough on his own to setup this final FINAL encounter. Hopefully Jini's grandfather (head elder guy), Sera and her crew, and literally everyone show up to trounce the SUC and discover that that other clan (the names in this manhwa are hard to remember) are the ones pulling the strings. Then maybe we can start to resolve the story and get Nine Arts back into the actual story. Also let's get the ki-center permanently fixed already.

I just hope the Sunwoo clan decides to stop loving around. The SUC need to end so we can get back to 9 Arts and the Black Forest Defense group. The leader of BFD was the one who had the main female protagonist shot in the original series (right?), the guy fixing Shiwoon is going to revive her as well, and I really just want to get back to that story. I really just want 9 Arts to come back to Korea, help finish this SUC plot (or show up after it finishes), find out that the chick is back alive and that it was the BFD guy who had her shot, reconnect with Shiwoon, and then just have the climax of 9 Arts and Shiwoon killing everyone.

Noblesse 269 is out. I have to say Frankenstein might be the greatest character in any manga/manhwa I've read. The only thing that trumps Frankenstein is Rai in terms of sheer badassness but he is sort of a Dues Ex Machina. I can't wait for this series to deliver on all of its promise.

I don't think the Extreme Plateau is really about the ki center, but I'm not sure. I think it is more similar to the Black Heaven and Earth technique from what I'm seeing. I don't think the bald dude's master broke his ki center, just knocked him unconscious so he could prevent his student from following him into hiding. What it is showing is that the bald guy and 9Arts/Shioon are in almost exactly the same situation. The Murim wanted a technique from them and they refused to provide it and their masters ended up killing themselves/going into hiding which led them to hate the Murim. The bald guy and 9Arts are fighting the Murim and Shioon is sort of in a weird spot but I'm sure his solution would attempt to be peaceful because that's always been his shtick. Edit: Bald guy's master is actually Un-Wol who was 9Arts' master too. Bald guy got trained before Un-Wol is exiled and then 9Arts gets trained while he is exiled, I assume it is then the same exact technique. Actually though bald guy wasn't taught the final part where as 9Arts and Shioon were. Lyon fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Feb 8, 2013 |

Noblesse 274 is out. Mostly speculation but a few references to the current chapter so...this is getting pretty interesting but I really just want to see Rai go out in his blaze of glory. My predictions are as follows: Frankenstein will get possessed by the dark spear/go berserk again like he did against the Kertia clan leader and kill at least one of the Union elders. I'm guessing it will most likely be the silly robot one (or 6th elder/new guy). Frankenstein starts to go super crazy. At this point Rai will show up, recall Frankenstein and chide him for returning to his 'old ways' and then waste the 6th elder for not knowing his place. The werewolf and noble elders will retreat because they aren't stupid. At this point we'll learn a little more about Rai and the incidents from 800+ years ago.

Noblesse 277. For those of you that haven't been keeping up you might as well wait another week or so. The last few chapters have been a lot of pretty great action but the plot should start to move quickly now (for a bit anyway). I'm guessing the sixth elder (eye patch) is going to be wiped out pretty fast in the next chapter. I'm 50/50 on what the older noble will do, part of me thinks that his expression is just one of shock/fear and he knows it is absolutely time to go since he attempted to kill Rai with Roctis previously. The other part of me thinks that maybe Roctis tricked him into betraying the new Lord by lying about what happened to Rai. We still haven't gotten the details as to what happened there but it had to have been at least two elders attacking Rai and it seems Roctis was definitely one. Hopefully we find out some of the details around the attack on Rai and the betrayal of the Lord.. Either way I am pretty excited for next week.

lil baby anime posted:New Noblesse! Chapter 278 Rai with those blood wings and the tear on his cheek is a sweet character design. I really hope neither of the former clan leaders survives. There are still quite a few Union Elders left including the most interesting ones: Roctis, Crombell, and Werewolf chick (plus three other traitor clan leaders?). Part of my hopes that Rai can EAT these two and regain some of his health, of course a healthy Rai essentially invalidates the remaining part of the story.

Bernardo Orel posted:Breaker 114 Breaker: NW has really hit its stride now that the ki center bit is resolved forever (hopefully). I hope Shi-Woon mangles this dude pretty bad (in a good fight though), he definitely has it coming, assuming I'm remembering correctly, because this is the same government agent that had Shi-Ho sniped/assassinated in order to drive 9Arts to destroy the Murim. My predictions for the resolution of the island arc: Shi-Woon destroys this dude, the doctor who is one of the top ten of the Murim shows up, he will save the agent and try to capture Shi-Woon, Shi-Woon manages to hold him off for a bit but is going to lose, Elder Kwon/the Sunwoo show up and Elder Kwon wrecks the doctor, the agent escapes to continue his evil schemes and so that he can get his ultimate comeuppance from 9Arts. I think this will be the tie in to get 9Arts back into the story. I hope Shi-Woon finds out the agent was involved in Shi-Ho's "death" (as she'll be coming back as a zombie in a bit) and this is going to be the driver for when 9Arts and Shi-Woon reconnect. 9Arts is on his way back to Korea to destroy the Murim (or take over Seoul or something) so hopefully we get the SUC (including the elders from that other clan) and the BFD Group story lines all intertwined after this island arc finishes. Then we'll obviously have Shi-Woon appeal to 9Arts as his disciple and tell him about the government killing Sae-Hee which will realign all of our protagonists to the same side. Lots of words about comics! I need to get outside more. Lyon fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Apr 26, 2013 |

My favorite part was the weird moon base and graffiti on the moon. That picture is great. It almost looks like the giant pole originated from that scaffolding but I'm assuming that was just for perspective so we would know how huge the pole was? It appears that Jin Mo-ri is/was the leader of the opposition to the "Gods". What I'm confused about is why the little white angel looking dudes turned on the kid who ate the key, I thought those guys were aligned with the main bad guy and I thought said main bad guy was okay with the kid eating the key?

We never really got to see 9 Arts Dragon fight cuz everyone was afraid of him. This is loving awesome. I would go reread The Breaker, I think you're forgetting quite a bit. 9 Arts destroys that one guy with the "iron hands" (also the guy rigged a bomb) who wanted revenge for his master, he takes on 3 or so of 10 Masters, and then he goes into the Murim HQ building and fights an entire sky scraper full of people. He also ruins a couple of people to prove his points.

Sarcophallus posted:I'm loving how completely over the top this manhwa's become. If there was a story at any point, I've completely missed it, but it's still great. This is my take on it... The whole point of the God of High School was so that the "good guy" organization that organized the tournament could find the Key. I think they planned to use the Key to defeat the "bad guy" organization who were the priests of those "gods" whose goals and motivations we don't really understand. Those gods could be good but their priests seem to be pretty evil/crazy so they're probably evil too. As we saw the Key ate/absorbed the "gods" (not sure if those are the official gods or more like angels hence the quotes) which would have allowed the "good guys" to triumph over the "bad guys". Unfortunately the Key was eaten by a crazy guy and he would have done crazy things and become a crazy god himself. Luckily Jin Mo-ri happens to be the Monkey King and has the power to defeat all these "gods" and the Key because he is a god in the flesh. I think Jin Mo-Ri's grandfather knew this ahead of time and sort of setup Jin Mo-Ri as a backup plan. He clearly knew both organizations even though he remained neutral and was also one of the most powerful humans involved in this fight.

Rainbow Pony Deluxe posted:Honestly this is such a big payoff because of how boring the beginning of New Waves was. All the waiting and having to get saved so much is part of why Shioon is crazy as poo poo right now. The artist did a fantastic job on that page. If you go back and look at Breaker the pulled back hair style Shioon has because of his hands is almost exactly how 9 Arts Dragon used to wear his hair. He probably also played with the facial lines a bit but my memory isn't that good. I'm worried about this duel now because when the Sunwoo elders arrive they won't be able to interfere (I'm guessing), hopefully someone in the next chapter gives an info dump on what exactly the protocol for a Murim duel is. I don't remember it being covered earlier but maybe it was when he fought laughing sword or even that other kid clan leader back in Breaker.
