As for the rods, I wouldn't be surprised if they've already been destroyed or at least permanently sealed by Priscilla's arm. BTW, if an arm of Priscilla could stop these rods then maybe whole Priscilla can divide Destroyer from Clare? And maybe this process has already begun? But it's going very slowly since both Clare and Destroyer are trying to prevent that - for different reasons though. Unless "something else" isn't a Destroyer. Maybe for this kind of a discussion 113th chapter thread would be better |

It's also kind of strange, inconstant if I may say so, you would think that a man who can swing two-handed basterswords and slaying yoma without braking a sweat would be able to bend those bars. Hell, power wise he should be a little below Kenshiro. |

I know who Ken is. For those who don't know him - he's basically an anime version of Chuck Norris. Hokuto no Ken is one of the manliest anime ever produced. I recommend trying it out. But you probably don't know it because it's old-school which is a mistake if you ask me. There are tons of anime from the 70's and 80's which are way better than any anime produced after year 2000. |

Hokuto no Shinken is about a legendary martial artist in a post-apocalyptic wasteland dishing out justice. His techniques involve hitting pressure points and often result in the villain erupting into a bloody mess. Picture Mad Max and Bruce Lee blended into one. A fun read.
Spoiler for My Favorite Finisher in the series:

Also, shame on you guys for not knowing who Kenshiro is. Go watch Fist of the North Star, AND after that watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes and read Phoenix (by Osamu Tezuka, they WILL have it in any library with a manga section) to redeem yourself. If you watch Space Battleship Yamato or Galaxy Express 999 you get bonus points. You can watch Fist of the North Star here (completely legal, this is not a pirate site or illegal stream), for Phoenix you'll have to go to the library or the store and you're on your own for Yamato and Express 999.

Right, he's in peak human condition, I can agree there...how does that allow him to break bars? That's only superhuman.
Forget it, you're confusing me I can't tell if you agree or disagree. At any rate, anything can happen: Raki's case is too unique to rule out anything, so we don't know if he'll get a power up now or later. All we know, is that he has the cells of the most powerful Awakened coursing through his body right now, so anything could happen. Ugh, and the power-up is akin to sex, but not entirely the same...don't need more people mixing up the two and using it as more false justification for the whole "males weren't good warriors because they couldn't control their yoki blah blah blah" which all amounts to not making any sense.

I honestly don't want to see Raki becoming superhuman at all. That to me would feel like a cop-out and would be too predictable. The real test of Yagi's writing skills will be to keep a fully human Raki's storyline relevant amidst all the other plot threads which atm dwarf his considerably.
Priscilla has abandoned him and he now knows he was just a means to an end for her. The MiB have apparently extracted all the useful data from him that they needed. Now one of the chibi-twins just slipped him a get out of jail free card and his story is now sorta open to go anywhere from here. Right now the only concrete thing tying him into the story is his promise to meet up with Clare and after her encounter with Priscilla its now obvious that the promise to Raki is not really a big priority to Clare right now. This mirrors how i feel about the Clare-Raki relationship on a whole, it always seemed very one sided to me. Not in the sense that Clare has no feelings for Raki, but that Raki's feelings for her are way more intense than vice-versa. Ever since Raki's triumphant return to the series I've actually grown to like his character after being indifferent to him all along. But right now hes been reduced back to the same old Raki except with enough strength to kill weak old regular youma which in the grand scheme of things is really not that great. Pre - 7 year time-skip the "gotta find Clare" storyline was sufficient but the stakes are so much higher now that I really cant help but think there's gotta be more to him. Hopefully Yagi comes up with something good, but doesn't he always?
