Kibibit posted:I find it adorable that she keeps her mini hats/horn thingies even for gym class. We don't know for certain. There're theories, like Lizard's and gnome's, but nothing official. We do know there was a time when she didn't have them, when she had a pair of hair buns there instead, but what happened to get from one to the other... no idea.

So, two things: One, the next chapter's been bumped two weeks to September 6th. Two, per the Weekly Shonen Jump twitter, there's a "Top Secret Project" in progress that's due to be announced August 25th: https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1295996510732259328

Henderson's introduced as housemaster, and a lot of people read that as headmaster, probably 'cause it's more familiar/expected (and also because he was overseeing the new applicants). But as Alacron says, if he were headmaster, he'd have taken less of a hit for punching Murdoch in chapter 5.

Supersonic Shine posted:Down to see Yor kill some people, though I forget if we've ever seen someone get murked on-panel. I know we see Yor cleaning up after a routine assignment, at least. We've seen her fantasies of killing, but we've not seen her actually do it in RL - we get the events around it, but not the killing itself.

Omobono posted:Also no way Twilight doesn't have a direct body count of his own, even if it should be lower than Thorn Princess's. He's been involved in at least one shoot-out, and it's at least strongly implied in the first Extra chapter, with him walking away from an explosion site with a hella lot of dead goons behind him. Edit: gimme the GOD drat candy posted:i don't think she is going to kill anyone around anya. anya hearing someone's thoughts as they die would be far, far too dark for this story. Anya did see someone die back in Mission 1, it's just Endo's never gone there with it, having her read their minds as they die. narm00 fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Two little bits of news: 1) The manga now has 10 million copies in circulation - which is a hit for any series, but especially one only 6 volumes in with no anime. 2) Japan's getting an SXF novel written by Aya Yajima, with illustrations by Endo, which'll have four original stories.

Yeah. I mean really, this arc is doing the character and plot work to get Yor in a position where what she does can integrate into the main plot from now on, because that was kind of lacking till now, and the actual hooks for that can come later.

Darth TNT posted:There’s a darker side to it though. Anja is aware her family is together because of the mission and that both mom and dad need eachother to pretend to be a real family. Loid's mused that WISE will watch over Yor and Anya after the mission's finished and he's left, so the worst-case scenario probably wouldn't happen... but Anya doesn't know that, and even if she did, she'd probably still be terrified of him leaving because she's been desperate for a stable family.

Zore posted:We got some narration early on that the Iron Wall falls 10 years from then and I could see that tying into the manga's resolution. Translation differences there; the original translation was that the Iron Curtain falls in 10 years, while the current translation is that it went up 10 years ago. ...and if it's the latter, then that's interesting, 'cause Twilight's been a spy for about 10 years.

We get a shot of her without them in Mission 36, although there her replacement hairstyle is so big it might well be covering them.

where the red fern gropes posted:a dog, who can tell the future, which... not really sure how you get the info, honestly? obvious anya can do it, are these supposed to work in synergy? why not give the prophetic powers to a human, why did they choose a dog? We're told only that the project was trying to produce highly intelligent animals for military purposes. It might well be that Bond's precognition was something the scientists didn't intend (like Anya's telepathy), and didn't know about.

Omobono posted:It's part this, part Yor must be able to control her strength somewhat when dealing with (people she thinks are) normal humans. According to a bonus comic in Volume 5, Yuri pretty much is physically superhuman: thanks to a combination of Yor's food and embarrassed slaps during childhood, he's become tough enough that he can pull four all-nighters in a row, then get hit by a truck, and the only injury he has to show for it is a bandaid on his face.

It's broadly a 60s-70s mishmash, with stuff from other eras thrown in if Endo can't find whether or not it was around in the period.

(I will laugh my rear end off if they end the season with the clocktower cliffhanger.) One episode left, afaik, so they're just doing the bonus chapter next and leaving the dog arc to next cour.

Zore posted:Anya's backstory is incredibly vague outside of 2 things we know. A couple of other things we know: 1) She'd been in two other orphanges besides the one Twilight found her in. 2) Her telepathic powers were an accident, and she escaped.the scientists' facility - so yeah, she is an escapee. We've been told nothing of what happened to the experiment after her escape.

GhostofJohnMuir posted:i might be misremembering, because it's been a while since i read the beginning of the series, but doesn't she flashback to a researcher telling her not to reveal her powers? that always suggested to me that if she did escape it wasn't entirely on her own since that isn't something someone who was expecting her to remain in a lab would say Could also mean they intended her to be a secret operative for them. They probably weren't expecting her to stay in the lab, but to use her powers for their own ends.

We're told she escaped, not 'they got shut down and she got shipped off'. They might have got shut down after she escaped, but it's not how she ended up on the run.

tsob posted:Just looking at the next two chapters after what the anime covered this week, it appears like next week's episode will have Nightfall's proper introduction (she's already appeared in the background of a few scenes if I recall), and the first episode of the tennis arc. I cannot loving wait. There's some choice Anya reaction faces, and fun panels just in those two issues alone. Mm. I wonder about the tennis arc, 'cause the anime's title for the second segment next week is "First Fit of Jealousy", which is... not any sort of description of what happens in the tennis arc, at least not till the epilogue. I have a sneaking hunch we're going to get an anime original for the second part, and it may give Nightfall some more focus.

It looked like they'd skipped over the aquarium chapter in the first cour, but it turned out they'd left it until the final episode. Given Yor getting shot in the rear end is the other big extra chapter, I wouldn't be surprised if it's being left till the end of this cour.

tsob posted:The two segments of the episode are "Nightfall" and "First Fit of Jealousy", with "Nightfall" presumably being the manga issue where Nightfall comes to the Forger house to meet Yor and Anya, and the second, "First Fit of Jealousy" probably being the opening act of the tennis arc. Which is prompted by Nightfall being jealous of Yor, and wanting to make herself Loid's wife, so is based on and the first part of a fit of jealousy. Looking at the preview pics on the website... the second segment's not the first part of the tennis arc, it's the short where Bond gets jealous of Agent Penguinman.

usenet celeb 1992 posted:Is it the last ep of the season? Good place to end it if so, though I hope they interweave the two stories rather than treating them like separate, standalone sub-episodes like they've done with the others. Second-to-last episode, and given they're doing the 'two titles' thing again, they're having them separate.

Also, wherever it goes, it's best for it not to be too close to chapter 35, the post-tennis arc date, 'cause two dates in close proximity is a bit too quick for a slow-burn series like this.

Shopkeeper is... not exactly a friend of the Desmonds, it seems. He comments that Melinda is a conservative and he wouldn't exactly recommend Yor making friends with her in case anything were to happen, recommends that at the very least she be careful in case her husband starts thinking she has one-sided political beliefs, and gets suspicious when he hears Loid appears to be taking an interest in the National Unity Party.
