Needless

[Plant42]

There is a "Must known" fact that in the manga his name is (Jesus)Christ the second, but the anime toned it down by cut the "Christ" off(They also cut the scene in the chapel where there is a statue of cruxified Christ the Second).

Its all about religion issues. e.g. Greed in FMA was also supposed to be cruxified in the original jap manga, but was replaced by a mere rock wall in the anime.

Blade in vol 1 also had his right hand's flesh "blown off" saving Cruz from the Testament, leaving a gruesome skeleton hand. But the anime altered that scene in episode 1. Thus anime = audience friendly.

But they indeed show his right hand bleeding,REALLY badly(And originaly,he grab a rocket that is launch from the tetament instead of the "Holy Hand Grenade" in the bible,right?)

[pirateking]

Screenshot of Blade's hand after getting blown off by Testament's rocket in the manga. Impressive that Blade could withstand THAT kind of pain without screaming, I know I would if Im in his shoes. Blade is portrayed as more reckless in his fighting. This scene is definitely a no-go in the anime.

P.S. Blade looks like the terminator with the skeleton hand.

[Dragonkid11]

One thing that make me interesting is that,how he able to use his "Terminatorly" hand to rip the testament brain out?
I mean...even he don't feel pain of the hand,He for surely won't be able to ue his finger(His finger is now pure bone,no muscle at that statue...)

A question about volume 5...

Spoiler for Volume 5:

So they plan to overcome the mind controlness of that girl,is by using the dead girl body,which Blade copy her power somehow,and use it on Eve...
Does that mean he hasthe power to control other people as well?(I only read half ay through volume 5,so I not exactly understand

[pirateking]

Case spine image of the ED CD cover is pretty "spoilerful" for non-manga readers.

Spoiler:

Yamada-ko chan

for Dragonkid11's question, its no. The ability Blade learned from the girl could only control the person who is infected by the virus spread by the user. the method of spreading is through the victim's mouth by kissing (episode 8's yuri action)

Blade just instructed Eve to destroy the virus within her body. Seems the dead girl's ability will make a comeback in future since Saten freezed her body and ordered her dead corpse to be preserved.

[Dragonkid11]

No,I mean...can he now control other people?(With the kissing of course...)

[pirateking]

No,I mean...can he now control other people?(With the kissing of course...)

Probably yes. But do you want Blade to kiss his male opponents(Arclight)? Doubt the opponent would give blade the chance to execute that ability. Eve was infected because she was chained, weak and helpless in the first place.

Anyway, Blade's "Little Boy" technique is badass enough than rely on other people's ability. Blade himself is overpowered, theres no need to control people who are inferior to himself.

[Dragonkid11]

Does you mean that te opponent won't get infected if he/she is moving(freely)?

but seriously,I think a kiss should be enough...(Beside doing ecchi thing...)

[pirateking]

Does you mean that te opponent won't get infected if he/she is moving(freely)?

Asking this is like asking can I hit you if you are moving? Common sense.

I atcually forgot about this "common sense"...

EDIT:
I nearly forgot...

Spoiler for Possible spoiler:

Is this page telling me that Eve is superior forgetful?

[Wrath88]

ZOMG, will Blade go on a loli-kissing spree!??!? Combine Dean Drive Fox Hound with that Black Attraction!

[ShiroiRyu]

HU ?!
The ED Cover...
With the "spoilers", we saw her in volume... ?
Because, i like Needless...

I think he's just making that up, the 2nd from the information show thus far is on the side of good, although IIRC he was assassinated so maybe he's holding a grudge?

That said, pretty much it'll be to blasphemous, remember Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, about the book thing looking like Quran Bible.

Also mentioning Blade's hand, his torso and ribs are seen in the manga. Man gory really! But Awesome!

ZOMG!!! Blade can have any loli he wants now! Lucky overpowered bastard!


I am pretty sad that Uchida lol is probably the weakest character with powers in the group where in Blade uses the Little Boy and Vulcan Shock Ignition, which is originally his. When he comes back or IF ever he comes back he needs a new fire technique.

Spoiler for Needless Special Chapters:

Also I saw 2 special manga chapters how Arclight got Riru the telpath woman(tentacles...) and Adam Blade and Momiji Teruyama having a training of sorts while we get to see a naked Eve.

Hey,that might just answered the question that I about to ask!(But...where to find special chapter?)

Arclight obtained PF Zero back by consuming the people thus hes a lucky bastard during that time.

Yeah, Blade pretty much had the match won, but Arclight "cheated". Reminds me of the boss character Gill from SFIII.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Reread the parts. So Blade was unsuccessful in copying P.F.Zero

[pirateking]

actually i just realised the only thing that needs to happen is for the glasses and strawhat girl to meet the magnet and sword girl (cant read japanese dont know there names) if they talk about it then we know at least that story (1 out of 4) was incorporated into mainstream, if they dont know each other it wasnt.

In chapter 68 when Hatfield mentioned the word "priest", the glasses girl reacted to that word. Its a special sign about vol 0 linking to the main story.

[kenjiharima]

Isn't vol.0 2 years apart from the current needless storyline?

[Dragonkid11]

Some manga just have so many mystery even after they done the whole story...
