Personally, if you've already seen the first Negima anime, it's okay to skip the first three volumes (which were covered decently in the anime) and start with volume 4 (the start of the Kyoto arc). As Charred Knight pointed out, the Xebec version gutted a lot out of the anime version of the Kyoto arc (especially the one thing that really got me into the story, Nodoka's Pactio).

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE

It'd do yourself a favor and retcon your memory by still re-reading the manga, just because the manga had much more going towards it in terms of story and character development that the anime left out, even where and especially where the anime covered the manga...

So that's how Rakan looks when he's serious. Man he's scary.
And I bet that Negi has third trump card (if he don't he already lost) but I dont think its just another pactio card. It would seriously be like spiting in Rakan face if he got defeated using cheap tricks like that. I think it will be something not even hinted at perhaps Negi's own custom made spell designed specifically to beat Rakan. It would e a nice shot out to what Rakan said earlier that It's impossible for Negi to defeat someone on his level using self made skill. But frankly i think that Fate will attack either during the match or just after it ends. And I hope it will happen because the Asuna rescue arc is what we are waiting for. |

There are only two people between Negi and Kotaro and Kagetarou is seemingly out of the count, so that only leaves two possible answers to the question: Who the hell used Phoenix Down on the boss Rakan?
Unless of course Rakan can use Regen... shounenh4x |

Yes, the announcer explicitly states that both are up, and you can see the other guy's surprise attack in one panel. It's really unfair. Rakan is believable (and we were all expecting it), but that other guy getting up just when Rakan did--all so Negi can have some alone time with Rakan--is annoying.

Though why we can't just have the two of them get beaten together is a mystery to me. |
