And Negi suddenly becoming 5x stronger than everybody else in his team don't make sense at all. Ala Rubra had 3-4 10k+ ranked members, Ala Alba has just Negi. I really hope some of the girls will power up to his level soon. Don't get me wrong I still like MSN a lot but if it continues in the direction it's going now in 20-30 chapters it will become DBZ... |

You say "suddenly", and that it doesn't make sense. But Pong actually put it quite nicely about how it does if you think back and recall all the events that transpired. Such development is justified. That is something you can't deny. With that said, I'm sure many have already figured out what Rakan's objectives really was now. Despite his tendency at playing dumb and acting so lewd, I think it was quite obvious since the beginning with Rakan's comment and sudden...appearance before Kagetarou's entrance. I think it's more of your refusal in wanting him to surpass the girls that's making you turn a blind eye. But you should know already, Negi likely has already pass all the girls since his obtainment of ME. if it's anything, Asuna will most likely be using full potential of her abilities soon, and of course, Setsuna will stop holding back. Setsuna said Asuna will become more powerful than most of them sooner or later. And Negi's speed of growth is astounding, something that has been evident throughout the series. As Rakan said, he might have had exceed Nagi in that term. Of course, it's all because of such wonderful and cruel masters he studies under. The MW arc is significant in being the setting (more like device) and reason for Negi's advancement. He has given up on searching for his father, and wants to return the girls home. That is his goal. But things cannot always go smoothly. Negi knows this, I mean...look at what's happening. Of course, being such a kid, he is putting most of the blame on himself. Before coming to MW, what he was lacking...he gained and gained more as he stayed there. And recently, he might have just found his answer for himself. The reasoning behind the important of MW's arc for Negi was made clear and was slowly broken into for the reader. It should be nothing of a surprised since Ken has been continuously breaking the ice, allowing it to sink in. There's also Asuna, and the story behind Nagi and what happened all those years ago as well. It's a coming of age story, a grand and exciting one. All these elements are really basic. It's how the author executes them, either breaking or expand on such old concepts that makes it either more interesting or simply typical. I never could take those who calls any series DBZ because a spike in action occurred seriously enough. Really, it is nonsensical. I always have to ask in what aspect or how is it remotely like it when all past showing says otherwise. Maybe it is touching some similarity? But then, why is it always DBZ? Why not series before or those that are similar in genre other than DBZ? There are many out there, or are they all just "DBZ" too? So, in the end, it's pointless to even compare or contrast since every action/battle shounen/seinen are all the same if some start calling them so. Makes me wonder if they are just lazy or ignorant. I'm not suggesting I know everything and assume to always be correct, but..really now. Are all series going to be called as such because of how the action is showcased or how the fights are done? It is ridiculous to believe so.. In case anyone is wondering, the last chapter in volume 27 will be the epilogue, meaning chapter 249 is the epilogue. So that means the match will be over in 248 and chapter 249 explores the final celebration, the slave situation, and so forth. Or 249 is the epilogue between Negi and Rakan, meaning the match will be decided in that chapter with a beautiful conclusion as Ken hints. |

Dammit Rakan is beyond broken, dood.
Of course, I usually wait for translations beyond initial spoilers. As far as its turn into battle manga, I've seen that change kick in immediately after Kyoto. Training arcs, developing new powers, etc. etc. It was a gradual process, most people who claim it sudden were probably butthurt when it turned it up a notch at Magic World.

Well the issue is more that he learned too many techniques just in this one short period of training. And besides that, Rakan's pretty close to the strongest person in this story's universe and has been built up that way for quite some time. From this point on if they want to continue the story in this manner (Shounen comic style big fights) they'll have to make up new "Hidden/Unknown" enemies like aliens or ancient evil soon. He's almost at Rakan's level who's (Probably) stronger than Fate, one more serious burst of training and there's little left for him to face.

Yes, not an epilogue that you'd normally think of that comes after a story that has ended. An epilogue has several uses, and it can be used after a long or important chapter, even after every volume or book.
The last chapter in volume 27 is just considered an epilogue for the match. Which most likely will give us a conclusion or a closing on the slave situation. Negi getting his answer is also likely. What is the answer? We should see in in chapter 249. |
