Spoiler for spoiler:

Yeah ,AnN seem to be the more possible to happen.Hell from what we know AnN may be the thing inside Cruz or even some kind of spirt or something with no body and just end to merge with cruz(that give her a body) to make him survive .
But seriously we do not know enough to figure out how she will help or if cruz will become her. One thing is sure ....cruz need a miracle at this point.

Spoiler for 100:

So since we've just about exhausted our theories about what going to happen to Cruz, why don't we take a moment to discuss the other event that's most likely going to be resolved next chapter. Based on the preview image from Ultra Jump, its going to be the Seto/Solva fight against Uten&Kafka.

While I'm sad we're most likely going to have to wait until April to find out what's going to happen with Girl squad, the resolution to this fight is going to be very important. We're likely going to see what the full limits of the regenerative powers of Eden seed are, and how much punishment someone can take before it gives out. Teruyama's clone took a ton of damage before Blade finally put him down, so it's going to be a really nasty fight since nearly everyone involved now regenerates their wounds Expecting a lot of dismemberment's next chapter.

The other big reason to pay attention to this, is that for the first time we may get to see a fight between two individuals with Stigmata. Granted we haven't seen Seto with one yet (although that mark around her eye certainly looks like one), but since Teruyama's appeared so suddenly, chances are good she'll have one. If so, what would that mean if Seto managed to kill Uten. Is the plan to gather all 12 important enough that he would be brought back to life again, or would his death at the hands of another Stigmata user have some special significance? We know that if Uten and Kafka win this fight, their planning on taking Seto's head back to be presumably cloned and brainwashed into a proper servant of Arclight, so either resolution to the fight is suggestive.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Skeith, you have been fooled. The first word that can be read in the preview is "Cruz", there isn't a single mention of Seth & Solva. Actually, I don't think we'll be seeing more about that, because it's already over. Seth can't win.

Adan@

Spoiler for spoiler:

Thanks for the info would not make sense to leave Cruz and AA for the next month. After how last ch end. Wich mean will be interesting to see what will happen next.

[thor94]

Spoiler for spoiler:

I ask me, what will happen in ch100?
-Past of cruz, showing how the mysterious object have been hidden in his brain (probably by resistance when he was injured)
-present time, showing the mysterious object and what will happen to Cruz (Author would rather not show to us, that AA found in arca memory)

Spoiler:

Kurusu, I shouldn't have to warn you about this but you can never speak in absolutes about Needless =P Keep in mind what kinda record we have when trying to predict these types of things.

As for Seto, there's a number of ways they can 'win' against Uten and Kafka. For one, her directional gravity creates so many more opporitunities for her to use her fragment. I imagine that she'll be able to push or pull people into different areas similar to Solva's fragment and in ways they would work together. Don't forget about those warships in the skies right now, they might play a role in the fight if they migrate toward that region of the city or Blackspot itself. And if things do start looking grime for Seto, I imagine she can just push those two far away and have Solva and herself fly in the other direction. Their fight hasn't been decided yet.

impotent it is~

Spoiler for spoiler:

I don't think we can rely on those previews to tell us anything useful, given that the one for chapter 99 mentioned that very fight... which, it turns out, didn't feature in that chapter at all. Also there was no mention of Cruz, Disk, Arca or Arclight, all of whom did appear. No, I suspect they're more along the lines of "Cruz is in a sticky situation! Will he survive intact? Tune in next month to find out!". Not that I have any idea of what the text actually says, mind you...

[Ynot]

Spoiler for 99:

Kafka and Uten are tough enemies but I think there are possibilities for them to be defeated. Eden seed might be able to repair just about any sort of damage done to the body, but does that also apply to knowledge and memories? If their brain gets damaged enough maybe it could get repaired but I'm expecting memories/knowledge to disappear more and more with each injury, making them a lot less of a threat.

We've seen Kafka's brain hanging out of his skull, but it wasn't severed from is body yet! why is this important? Well, remember Kafka told Seth they would bring her "freshly severed head" back to Arclight if Seth had a stigmata. I think it's likely for her to have the same regeneration capabilities after having been poked with the Eden seed spear(it worked out fine for Teruyama!), but apparently cutting off the head is enough to keep her from being a problem.

Perhaps that's why Arclight cut off Arca's head too. Either Arca doesn't have a stigmata(or a high enough concentration of Eden seed) and her body doesn't regenerate(which we didn't see happen) or cutting off one's head is enough to do the trick.

Also when looking at how Blade dealt with clone Teruyama it looks like pulling someone through a "meat grinder" works too.

Seth and Solva have shown they're pretty powerful. Especially Solva should be able to create some nice improvised cutting tools(if she somehow manages to get control over her arms again) so I think they still stand a chance if they start chopping heads/brains.

Main problem is Solva's arms. Her powers still work, but it's just the aiming which is the problem.
but maybe Seth can help her by supporting Solva's arms somehow. Who knows, maybe Eve will come to the rescue and fix those.

[thor94]

Spoiler for cruz brain:

I have translated the AA sentence in the penultimate page (when he probe arca memory), he say "I see!", so it's confirm that he deliberately hurted cruz to recover the object hidden in his brain and his injury is real

[Sayo A.]

^ That reminds me...

Spoiler for Cruz:

Allow me to quote from chapter 68, page 2:

Characters that are taken out in the last scene of the previous chapter are usually alive in the next chapter!

And Cruz hasn't even been "taken out" as such. In the context of this manga, his injury is barely a scratch. So will everyone please stop worrying about his brain?

Hmm. I got the impression that Solva couldn't use her power at all with her nerves severed, but reading it again... you could be right. Perhaps she could aim by holding her arm between her feet? Which would provide a nice image for the bloomer lovers, if the angle was right.

[thor94]

Spoiler for cruz:

Unlike chap 68, it's sure, cruz (but it's same for all human/needless) most vital organ have been severely injured.
He will be probably alive in next chapter, but will be ever Cruz?
-He can lose his memory and/or reasoning capacities
-He can fall in deep coma for a long time
-He can become an new person (ANn?)

[Ynot]

Chapter 99 has been uploaded to Pew pew's site. Enjoy

[Homura7]

Thanks, Ynot. So there's something concealed inside Yamada's brains. What would that be?

Spoiler for spoiler:

A fragment perhaps? It's in the brains afterall...

Damn, march 19th can't come fast enough.

[Leidolfr]

Ynot thanks for the translation of Chapter 99

Spoiler:

If Arclight you pierced the brain's Cruz was perhaps to know where was hiding the rest of the resistance, or maybe to find the half of the chip

[Homura7]

Spoiler for spoiler:

Chip? Inside his brains there's something even more interesting than a measly piece of data. Arca herself said, it has something to do with Yamada's body.

[Leidolfr]

Spoiler:

It is possible, but it seems that Arclight not has severely damaged the brain's Cruz, at least for now, or perhaps later will have thought to use to cross to achieve their goals.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Have you seen the size of AA spearhead after drilled Arca??? According to the size of hole, the spear has penetrated at least 5cm in cruz brain.
It's not a trivial damage (see House M.D serie, a single contact with needle is enough to disrupt the brain)

[Leidolfr]

Spoiler:

Ah okay, but I think that to have you drilled the brain as much you must have left unconscious, right?, because leaving him in a coma, then role would be for Blade, unless Eve appear to heal brain injury of Cruz.

Spoiler:

If indeed Arclight wanted to see dead Cruz, then... for that not decapitated you the head rather than penetrate the brain?, unless that Arclight saw that the intelligence of Cruz would be a threat to him and why he drilled the brain to let you out momentarily.

[Robotech Master]

Teruyama's explanation for why he could grab Setsuna seemed kinda contrived to me. When I read the original chapter spoiler, my original thought was that he took a big hit, but was able to tank it thanks to Eden Seed or something and managed to grab her arm before it could retract away from his wound.

Here he just intercepts her attack and says "I can't see your attacks, which is why I had to grab you while I could still see you." But that makes no sense, she was already in the middle of Dead Drive FH, she should have been invisible to him already.

I feel like Imai eventually realized how extremely powerful extreme super speed is, and now he's finding all sorts of ways to gimp Setsuna so she doesn't seem too overpowered.
