Needless

Spoiler for preview:

Oh wow... that pic there looks way too suggestive... you almost forget that that's really Cruz crossdressing as a girl like that... and yes, that does look like disk has a body, and a schoolgirl uniform at that...

Preview translation:

Spoiler:

#90 City 1 [28P] With Eve back to normal and Disk restored, Blade and the others head to the City to check on what Ishiyama of the 666-Member Committee said. But a test awaits Cruz!

Thanks again for the swift translations js!

Spoiler:

Well that was fast for Disk. Wonder if we will see much about her body restoration or not. She looks a little older with that body form than her previous one (about Cruz's height now?).

Kinda wonder what test Cruz will go through and if it will be in this chapter or at the end of it.

New arc is City. Guess I was wrong (no surprise there, tho). Btw, is that Disk with a body in the background? Haven't translated the synopsis yet but I see something about Disk in there.

Maybe this will be Disk's arc? What a welcome surprise that'll be.

Also another Yamada pantyshot. I see some things never change.

Just what the heck is Cruz doing with his head there, exactly?

[shakes12]

hopefully cruz get a power, its sucks that he is always the weakling

[Ynot]

Thanks for the quick preview translation Js06!

Spoiler for needless 90:

Ah, it's nice to see Disk back in full glory.....I did like her polka dot dress better though...
..

So Eve didn't recognize Yamada afterall.

[Soji]

First all thanks for the preview Avvesione and js06 for the fast translation.
And of course thanks to Ynot for the raw as usual.

Now for the raw itself.

Spoiler for ch 90:

What the hell happened?
That is the chapter it seems interesting but I do not understand why they did not let yamada see the contents of that chip since they make him wait outside.
And at the end of the ch what is the pill that Blade gave to Yamada?
A sleeping pill ..?
Seriously I have a bad feeling about all this.
Because I dont understand why they wanted to go without Yamada ?
That is Yamda is the brain of the group how the hell they will do without him?
What they fear is a mission of no return?
One other thing I ask myself is what Yamada will do if he regained consciousness from the pill that Blade gave him (whatever this pill is)
Seriously this new arc gave me the feeling of the end needless part 1 and the begin Needless Part 2

[Homura7]

Ok, onto the chapter!

Spoiler for 90:

It seemed a transition chapter with lots of comedy... till I reached the last pages (awesome final one, btw).

Though they probably did to protect him because Disk found something about Ishiyama's plans that was related with Cruz, it's not like he's gonna stay waiting till they are back.

Mio was left behind too, and Gido.

I can tell Blade and co. are gonna regret what they did.

Soji is right, this smells it will be the final arc of part 1. And now the colorspread finally gets its full meaning.

Also... so these are the "canned products" Ishiyama was talking about.

[Avvesione]

Thanks Ynot!

I'll post my thoughts when I get back. Overall, a great chapter for both comedy/plot.

Don't worry my friend. *beastly smile* Don't worry.

Perfect Zero!!!

[js06]

Just posted my translation: http://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/29311

[Needles]

Heh, it sounds like a lot of things happened since the memory world. I've been reading your posts but was too lazy to log on to input anything (the lazy is powerful in me).

Spoiler for Dumb Theory:

I was going to suggest about the Cruz--->girl comment had to do with:
-Doppelganger (Blade mistook Cruz for a girl so when he healed Cruz he turned him into a girl by accident)
-Memory World (Blade's memory of Cruz as a girl turned him into a girl, like how you can control your dreams)

....But that sounds a bit far-fetched and from what I got from you guys, he's still a guy lol. So forget about that

Spoiler for Main Issue:

But mainly I wanted to talk about this new chapter, it seems a bit more grim for some reason, especially these "hunts" they keep talking about. ROLE REVERSAL?! Sounds almost like our "good guys" aren't so good anymore?

I hope not. I hate these "gray" characters nowadays. I don't mind gray I just don't like when the good guy is more of a bastard than the bad guys (ie. good guy rapes and pillage while bad guy just tax people). Makes it hard for me to find someone to root for!

(Badass does not substitute for being an ass)

Blade may be a pervert but I know he's a good pervert, at least, and hopefully that doesn't change.

....And "rich boy"?

Are they talking about Cruz or a new character? It sounds like Cruz changed the time-line a bit more then we thought. (Parents live! Maybe?)

I wonder if Aruka is still a bastard Needless or if she's just some stuck-up rich girl now (still scary lol)?

Well, that's my thought on the subject, sorry for the rant near the end...

[Soji]

js06 thanks for the traslation as always.
@Needles

Spoiler for spoiler:

With rich boy Blade mean Arclight not Yamada and with run away to relatives he mean 666 and the AP.
Or at least I'm sure this was the context of his sentence.

Spoiler for for traslation ch 90:

is more interesting than I expected this ch, I wonder why Yamada is not feeling well and is a headache?
may have a direct contact with a fragment of the memory door born from e the memories of Blade have caused some change in him?
After all, it seems it's something that has never happened before that a shard of the door hurt someone and remain in the person body during the teleporter in the memory world / past world.
One other thing I ask myself is what is that pill is not a simple sleep aid because we have not heard what disk said to blade and eve.
I do not know why but I get the impression that the thing that Disk says is much more important than what the manga give us to see as well as the pill that Yamada has swallowed.

Spoiler for spoiler 90:

im curious why they took him out like that and leave him there, its not like they cared for his wellbeing like this before. They took him along to Simeon HQ and all over blackspot. Wich isnt the safest place to be. So im sure they are trying to keep him away for his emotional wellbeing. Im sure Cruz would find out something about himself (worse then meeting up with Aruka.)

[Ynot]

Damn your fast Js06! We barely have time to look at the raw before you're done translating it, thanks!

Spoiler for needless 90:

I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get to see Gido at all. He wasn't even there to listen to Disk's story.

So now Yamada is in a same sort of situation as after the pf zero blast. His friends gone and he's left alone.....well not all alone Mio-chan is still there(Gido too maybe somewhere?)! Will we see another Arc with Yamada and Mio traversing Blackspot towards the city in search for Blade and Eve? I wouldn't mind.

Also, I think simeji hunting is some sort joke. Simeji looks a lot like Simeon, but it's also a species of edible mushroom, which would explain Yamada's response.

As to why they left Yamada this time....I think the other times they didn't have much choice. There was always a situation where he was already in danger or in more danger if he was left alone. Now they can at least leave him in Mio-chan's (and Gido's?)care? But Ca12nag3's idea doesn't sound bad either.

Spoiler for spoiler 90:

For this very reason there must be more behind this behavior, especially given what Eve said to him at the beginning of the manga. who run away death waits him .etc.. The only thing that comes to mind after what you said is that if Yamada goin with them he discovers that he not was really Aruka brother but a experiment of the new AP?
That maybe they think was a failure?(I mean the people of that project)
I mean seriously I do not see another reason to not let him goin with them if do not for something like like that or some revelation of the same emotional weight?

[Ynot]

Spoiler for needless90:

That certainly would explain why Aruka didn't mind killing Yamada. It's a lot easier if she thought of him as a (failed)experiment.

[Robotech Master]

Can't peek at the raws right now since I'm at work, but judging from the translation (thanks btw), I think my fears that Gido's appearance last chapter was an oversight mistake by Imai is getting closer to a reality. Perhaps he spent so much time in the dream world, that when they got back he forgot which characters had gathered there in total, and accidentally threw Gido in.

I mean, even if we hold on to hope that Gido is somewhere there, there is certainly no reason for him not to be involved in a strategy session, him being one of the thinkers of the cast.

So Seto and Solva are going as well eh?

My guess is the city arc will involve Cruz at first wanting to sit out and mope about his uselessness, then he'll discover that something (villain, trap, etc) is waiting in the city that is tailor made to guarantee Blade's group's loss unless they know 'X' or have 'X' with them. Therefore, he'll get an emergency team: maybe Mio and Rin--maybe run into Teruyama, and head off to warn them/save them.

Spoiler for spoiler:

I think so, that is only a theory .
Initially I thought he would become an experiment in the future for his great intelligence, but with the current information seems the most plausible theory that It was probably one of these experiments they thought a failure (but not so much failure in the end he could live normally as a human so far) but then with what happened in the simeon's building with Eve that resurrected him and maeby give something to him (perhaps what was missing?)
After this Yamdabegins to show high endurance and power that he should not have (putting up Eve with his arm still injured ) Now in the recent arc has been struck by a fragment of the door of Memory Blade. And in this chapter laments the head is to be ill more Disk Yamada says something that should not hear and decide to go into town without him. I mean honestly it was easier for them to take him into the city and leave it there (no Needless there at least from what we know) and go where they wanted but no they decided to leave him in the blackspoot as far away from the city and the laboratories of New Ap. Maybe I try to understand things that are just coincidence .. but when so many coincidence are show I beginning to have my doubts that they are just coincidence and no more.

[Homura7]

Oh, Imai, you genius.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Because Eve's memory is so bad, she won't even remember her meeting with Cruz in the past, mainly because he didn't even introduce himself to her there.

And of course Blade probably thinks Cruz has been crossdressing since the first time they met.

But let's talk about the important stuff.

Spoiler for 90:

Arclight is currently in the City now, wich pretty much means this will be indeed the final arc of part 1.

The canned products, the fetuses Ishiyama talked about long ago during his first official appearance in the story. Who bets from one of these the Adam Cyclops will be born.

Disk shows her intelligence in this chapter. Knowing how close is Mio to Cruz, telling her something would result in Mio telling it to Cruz.

And of course, the most important one. We don't know why they don't want Cruz to come with them, but we know the reason is very important, and because of whatever the reason is they're protecting him.

Yeah, it looks like Gido being there was just a drawing mistake that will be corrected when they release the volume.

Overall it was an awesome chapter full packed with lots of info.
