During that time, Arclight was there, and I doubt she thought he would spare him. A warning of a future encounter when the current one is more pressing at the moment is a waste of your last words.

I was thinking along those lines too. the funny thing is both Kafka(the former Uten) and Saten have helped Yamada before already!

It wasn't Arclight she was referring to because she was actually surprised to see him. I don't believe someone within Simeon snitched because she said "I see. You didn't trust me.", not "I see. He/ She gave me up."

A more literal translation would have been "There's no time. You being here will eventually be known". So she probably wasn't having anyone special in mind but was more talking in general.

What kind of infomation would interest her and why is Cruz related to it? What was that syringe going to do, obviously not to get the chip. You need a surgery to remove it (or what Arclight did). This action was prompted only after they came to the city, meaning a change had to have happened in Cruz between the Bloody Rain arc and City arc. We could assume it may have been the light given to him by AnN, but Disk wouldn't know about that incident. The other choice is that pill.

Well perhaps at first she did want to get information about Yamada from Disk so she could lure him to her. Once Disk was restrained the need to kill her apparently wasn't as pressing anymore.

Aruka would operate on Yamada now because instead of fleeing and staying out of the hands of Simeon he actually came to their headquarters. The chances of someone discovering the chip are getting too high so she wants to take it out and destroy/hide/? it. Also she now has the gear to actually perform surgery. That syringe looks like your average anaesthesia. Operating on someone without it would be such a hassle.

Plus, if it was Eden's Seed, they should have at least told him it was something that he cpuld lose his life over. The fact they would just give him something that could have just as easily killed him bothers me. Chances are it could have been something else, but what are the other options.

Wait, wasn't that part where they kept something secret from Yamada just the fact he was a Needless? Them not telling him anything doesn't really surprise me if the pill just contained edenseed. It's not likely he would suffer from something which he already had in his body. At least not in the quantities they gave him. Besides telling him right there and then would have ruined the surprise of Yamada's awakening for the reader so I think this is just one of those choices which are made more because of the manga's audience than anything else.

That is a bit odd. I always figured either Disk managed to contact them somehow telling them on which floor they were(we didn't get a shot of Disk being surprised when Eve and Blade came through the window) or perhaps they saw the release of power from Yamada's awakening.

Cruz was knocked unconscious after taking that pill. Remember, after Eve was infected, when she next appeared she was unconscious as well. Also, I'm sure it can be used in many ways. You can let the person run around with their will, but give tiny suggestions from time to time, like brainwashing. Blade once commanded Eve to destroy the ESP virus, surely he can come up with this. The command right now could be "act as you normally would". What leads me to beleive this is this panel.

How can after being acknoledged by your hero can your eyes look so dead, like your in a trance? The only problem I have is finding a reason to go to such lengths.

That seems really out of character for Blade. But why would he want to do that to Yamada anyway? The picture you showed got corrected in volume fifteen. Yamada's eyes look a lot less "dead" there.
