Yes, he looks like his father, but the thing that bothers me is that Shinigami-sama’s “head” was partially “blown” during his battle against Asura and there wasn’t blood or flesh, that’s why I think that is possible that he hasn’t a human form…he is a god of death after all…

As you said, the problem is that no human can live that much…that theory could be possible if Shinigami has really a human form and his sentimental partner wasn’t human.

Has or had…Kid said that the Brew had awaken the “shinigami powers” of his body, so maybe, when his lines are completed and his power fully released, changes will happen to it?
Aggg, but I’m also impatient to know more about Shinigami’s nature and specially Kid’s past and his “birth” :S we already had a BS/Tsubaki development and a lot of S/M, but we know nothing about Kid or why the sisters were living in the streets and what happened to their family…

Unfortunately no -,- it was one with a picture where Maka, Liz and Patti appeared, but I can’t find it…

I think that if Kid were to ever be pushed into a Kishin-induced insanity, he'd probably try and create "the perfect, tidy world".

I would love to see a insane!Kid! it would be very interesting...and I had the hope that Noah would brainwash Kid to use him…but it’s impossible -_- Noah only uses Kid for bondage sessions lol

Maybe because Kid is not a full shinigami he has the SL in the shape of his soul, his father has some weird spikes maybe because he has his SL completed and they adopted that form (they’re three spikes for the three lines)

Another thing that bothers me is that nobody seems astonished with Kid's appearance taking into account what is he and how his father looks, maybe they know that Shinigami has another form? that Kid will transform into "that" and they accept it because is a shinigami's nature/destiny?

This is giving me a headache :S

[Orangejellosphere]

I think what it comes down to is this:
Shinigami doesn't look like a human, and his body isn't like that of a human.
Death the Kid has the appearance of a young human. He bleeds and is more or less like a human made of stronger stuff. Apparently, Death the Kid wouldn't get a sunburn.

Death the Kid and Shinigami-sama are both shinigami, but their forms are radically different. The reason why is unknown, and maybe not important. Still, I really hope that we get some amount of backstory on Death the Kid and the Thompson Sisters soon.

It's pretty well established by this point that Shinigami-sama is at the very least, hundreds of years old. Since Kid is physically around school age it's pretty easy to assume that he ages (and we already know that he has no power to change his appearance). While there's really no information on the actual rate at which a Shinigami ages it's perfectly plausible that Shinigami-sama's body just expired and that he is able to carry on perfectly well without it because of the strength of his soul.

That's a really good explanation for how Shinigami-sama and Death the Kid are both Shinigami but not similar in appearance.

[wandering-dreamer]

Hmm, the body of the god of death is dead, there is a nice symmetry to that.

That's a great theory! and very plausible yes~

[ellifeedn]

So Shinigami is a ghost?

[I'monaboat]

Lol ^^^^

[Kotobasuu]

The question is when did his body expire? I'd say it was around the time he created Shibusen because that's when he affixed his soul around the seal of Asura. I'd even say he went as far as discarding his body because he had no more use to it. Where would he go with it anyways? So that part makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that if he discarded his body, how did he have an offspring? Without a body, he couldn't possibly spread his seed, which still leaves a question mark.

[I'monaboat]

Guys the raw is out.

[BelovedSong]

I just have seen the raw of the chap 66

Spoiler:

WOW GO GO KILIK!
But I'm a bit disappointed because we didn't see Patti in action :S when is she going to show her technician skills in a real battle?
And that thing of the last page...is made with black blood? I doubt that is Ragnarok, but still...a defense system made by Medusa? at least is something related with Medusa for sure, there were her arrows

[Tamad]

Spoiler for Chapter 66:

Resident Eater 5 anyone? That's the vibe I got out of this chapter, what with the zombies with guns in Africa and all that. It certainly was an unexpected situation turn, but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. Seems like we're going to be thrown into mini-arcs focusing on separate Spartoi teams an their missions, judging from what Jackie pointed out with Black Stars group. I imagine that Kilik's group will be romping with the Black Clown (Jesus I thought it was Crona for a minute) next chapter, we'll find out more about what Medusa has been researching in their absence, and then we'll move on to the next team and learn more until everything connects and makes one big arc. I'm wondering if Noah and his goons will just sit back and relax for a few chapters, or maybe they're a lot closer to this than we think.

I'm just happy that Kim and Jackie continue to get lots of screentime. <3 Kilik was pretty damn badass here too... but...

Where the hell are Tezca Tlipoca and Enrique, Okubo?!

[Kotobasuu]

Spoiler for 66:

No ocd goth cowboy.

Boooooooo.

[I'monaboat]

I want translations now lol!

[R-Otaku]

Spoiler for 66:

Kim obviously doesn't know an awful lot about Crona.

"Crona, too, might already be..."

What, insane? Really?

Sorry Crona but you know it's true. We still love you though.

[Bonta Kun]

well that was a pretty bad ass chapter from Kilik, all James Bond/Bourne-esque

Altho gotta say that only Kid should be the only person to handle the Thompson sisters but this way they are still with the action

and as Tamad says kinda reminds you of Resi Evil 5

[ellifeedn]

The clown is what Stephen King's It should have looked like.

[Tsuyoshi]

Great chapter. This shed some light on some of the earliest experiments that Medusa carried out before moving on to the Black Blood. Great action too. Kim mentioning Black*Star makes me wonder if he's perhaps somewhere in the vicinity. It would be really cool to see him fight "It" and show what he's picked up since his fight with Mifune. Since he's been training with Stein, I hope he's learned quite a few things on wavelength manipulation.

Kilik was cool with having the gun holsters and all. I'm surprised he was able to use the Thompson sisters so well. I guess they trained or something.

Are Thunder and Fire girls too?
