It seems the Anime Spoilers & Speculation thread was used for novel discussion...

My question is how long it will take for the original novel thread to be re-open?

I hope that will be ASAP because people may can move to discuss the novels in another thread.

So, I need to catch up and shit. I stopped at NT4 and was wondering if I should bother with NT5 or just skip it.

It's the first half of the Ichihanaran Festival Arc, so if you skipped it, nothing in NT6 would make any sense.
Also, it has Thor. So don't skip it.

I am sorry to break the novel 7 atmosphere but I am rereading novel 6 and find no indication of which form Birdway spiritual tool take to control earth

Cup > water
Sword > air
Wand > fire
> earth

After playing tons of Persona, I would say it's either the coin or olive leaves.

Coin... I guess mineral = earth analogy works... and plants also.

The Earth Element is represented by Coins / Pentacles / Disks / Rings.

The class is Merchants, and the Faculties are Material body or possessions.

When Rensa was clashing against kakine, she had the #1's power so she also had reflect on. I read Kakine did something with his dark matter and he was clashing at high speed vs her. Did kakine discover a way to clash with vector reflect without being turned to dog food or did Rensa just didn't have reflect on? From what I believe Kakine was clashing against the reflect ability. Can someone clarify this?

Their wings clashed- Tornado vs Dark Matter.

Also, while Rensa has Accelerators powers, she doesn't have his capabilities- maybe she doesn't have all of his filters and wasn't able to keep up with a changing Kakine.

I notice that since he came back, Kakine hasn't used that strange explosion and light energy that he used in vol 15.

Oh thanks.

Yeah, maybe rensa couldn't filter as fast as the original. Even if she has the same power its up to the person wielding it that matters.

I've also wondered that, Kakine has such a diverse power but he never really does anything with it except use his wings as stakes and fly around. I would of imagine him to come up with atleast one good powerhouse attack by now. His true shinning moments with dark matter was in his dark matter reincarnation mode(awaken) but that's long gone(for now hehe). Well, dark matter is a complex power and its hard to come up with things using it.

How many virgins we have in To Aru? :heh:

There shouldn't be a reason why Rensa's reflection wouldn't work. In fact, Rensa's reflection should be perfect since she's a cyborg: her body wouldn't flinch at people suddenly stopping with their punches like Amata did, which makes Kakine's actions even more impressive.

I actually thought that Kakine discovered a way to shield himself from Accelerator's reflection. He has fought him before after-all. I don't think he could have immediately noticed that Rensa wasn't using reflection anyway in the case that she wasn't. The other Rensa (who seemed to be weaker) said she could use it, so I rather think it's just that Kakine ascended in level from where he was before. I don't think he was awakened though; I just think he's strong even in his general form at this point.

this was on a facebook page they say this is Kazuma Kamachi is it true?

^ It's Abe Atsushi-san (Touma's VA).

Where in the novels did Musujime being a shotacon originate from? It seemed to just pop out of nowhere during the GROUP meeting scene. When they collected etzali

I believe it was from the illustrations detailing the members of GROUP, there were short descriptions of each one of them, but I can't find it atm.

By the way, in GROUP there is no leader, truly? At the begining Tsuchimikado was showing himself as the leader, but then Accel became the absolutely disobedient and didn't follow the normal rules given by other members so Tsuchimikado probably lost his confidence...

It's on volume 19, IIRC in the Aztec girl's hospital room.

It seems GROUP have no official leader (maybe the person behind the phone can be), Tsuchimikado acts as a de facto leader.
