Every new translation from 265 I have been shown reduces their chance. Lo...

If Hayate can't go with Nagi due to the debt, I think Athena could pay for him so he could continue protecting Nagi. What I'm hoping isn't for Athena to be together with Hayate since it's impossible, at least at the momen. But her having something to do with Nagi's inheritance situation. But I guess that's kinda impossible too...

It's like she is too powerful a character to be in the story...Dam it all. >.<

Athena gets karma points. For Athena fans, you get to live with the knowledge that she's mature, cool, attractive, magically powerful and very perceptive. Congrats, your fandom has been justified (if it wasn't already, to you).

For other fans: your girl now has a better chance at "winning".

So, in order to make this truly a win-win, everyone should become fans of Athena and her personality, and then promptly begin shipping another girl with Hayate. WIN-WIN SITUATION.

I was surprised at myself when I posted my spoilers of ch265 after learning of their parting....I was surprisingly calm and satisfied...its like you said Athena may be leaving for now, but at least I have the knowledge that even to this point in the story...she could have won the battle but obviously you might as well put "the end" shortly after if that were to happen. While Athena ending would have been technically my ideal ending, this series is one of the few harems were every single member is just so freaking win...I honestly dont mind any ending (except Nagi as things are right now)

Yeah, that's pretty much my sentiment as well (being an Athena fan too), Hayate's possible partners all indeed have a lovable distinct quality of their own.

thanks for the info ... considering athena's popularity boost since EotW arc., it'd probably be successful if he decides to make a spin-off series about her lol (but that's just a fan talking

My opinions on her developement are still open to change as I read along, but I fear that my opinion may persist if she befomes a permanent looming fixture within the story.
like some others, i only read HnG again after i chanced upon EotW arc by accident i agree she stole the spotlight, even from hayate, for me as well..

it's a shame, she might not be coming on as much, but i prefer seeing her entering with another semiserious/serious story arc than being in gags somehow hata's gags are used too much... comedies are good, but it gets boring without a plot

However, 90 chapters later, we got into the EotW mini-arc, Athena got properly introduced, and I loved her, immediately. She had many of the traits that I liked from other characters (Hina's strength and leadership, Maria's maturity, Nagi's mistress status, Isumi's mysteriousness, Ayumu's straightforwardness), but she had her own flavour. In addition to her positive traits, she also had her negative traits, which I also became fond of. In addition to all of these, she her addition gave Hayate a background, and it gave the story a plot.

I've been purposely trying to avoid this thread because I didn't want to be spoiled about ch. 265 (also I've had more to study lately), but I decided to take a sneak at the thread a little to see what the current discussion is. I won't comment on the previous pages because most of the things that I wanted to say have been said about it, but there is one thing I want to point out:

You are mixing two different events here.

-Athena only told Hayate to stop crying when they first started the sword training, and that was because she noticed that he cried quite a lot (Before that, she was surprised whenever he's done so)

-Athena kicked Hayate once during the scene in chapter 9, but we learned that that happened because she saw Hayate kiss Izumi before his return (And tbh, this is not as severe as what Nagi does to him from time to time)

No, this was a one-of-occurrence where Athena was very angry at Hayate for flirting with another girl (Even though it wasn’t his fault :/).

Personally, I never thought that Hayate getting hit or punished by the girls very funny. Not when Hina does it, not when Athena does it, or when Nagi does it (the first two had their reasons, but Nagi does it at times when it isn't even his fault)


*Goes back to avoid spoilers *

Guys. She was like eight. I punched my sister when I was eight. I told her she was stupid. I told my parents I hated them. I told my best friends never to leave me and to be friends with me forever.

Selfish? Probably, but I was eight. Watch little kids interact with each other and you'll know what I mean. Give it a break, most of that immaturity, violence, and selfishness has LONG SINCE been remedied if it was ever anything serious.

O.o I have no idea what you think you're talking about there. She kicked him in the stomach hard enough to send him flying while teaching him how to be a boyfriend, and then when he complained she told him it's 'the pain of love'. Pretty sure it's on the same page and in the first flashback where she's shown. Long before she's even introduced.

While Nagi does do worse, she does it in the present, when he has the constitution of a Gundam. Athena did this when his constitution is still at the level of a six-year-old.

She kicked him after she had awoken his "inner strength", so he was just as resilient as when Nagi does it.

Really, people have the most ridiculous double standards for a slapstick comedy series.

I have my doubts that she actually did anything with 'awakening his inner strength'. She hasn't cast anything on anyone else except for that one time, so we don't know if she even can. The training she gave him and the self-training in the last 10 years is the more plausible reason, for a normal person.
Seems to me that the 'spell' was more to boost his confidence that he could do something so that she could teach him rather than actually doing anything to him.
Time is a huge factor in the resilience of the human body.

If he'd gotten run over by a car back then, he probably would have been killed. In present he's gotten run over twice, and the first he nearly did die. Later he gets run down, and goes on to out-speed a train on a bike. And both happened before we were shown the spell.

200+ one-fingered push-ups (those are the only numbers I could find) was probably enough to get a benefit back when he was training with Athena, he'd probably have to be doing ten or hundreds of times more by now to be seeing any significant difference now.

i think a re-read is in order for you here, Hayate did comment on how his body felt a lot lighter right after Athena cast the spell. Also dont even start trying to question her magic at this stage of the story because it has already been stated by Isumi as well about how Midas was able to get great strength by drawing Athena's ability to unlock potentials.
As well as controlling Shirosakura's power to strengthen Machina. So yes, she did cast a spell on Hayate that time, he felt the change himself and there were immediately obvious improvements on his skills as a butler since then.

Never heard of the placebo effect?
He trained with the sword, did thousands of push-up's daily and worked since he was 9, and his endurance and skill is possible for a normal human in the real world.

Loving how Isumi's knowledge is taken as factual when to have anything less than 2nd-hand knowledge of the stuff she's talking about she'd have to be a child prodigy greater than what you're purporting Athena to be with greater knowledge of things that happened out of her sight when she was three

still doesnt explain his sudden improvement in terms of his skills right after the spell, i mean he was struggling carrying a bucket of water before she did it. All of his hard work and training really started to get underway after she unlocked him, and if im not mistaken she did this on the day after Hayate arrived at the Royal Garden, so its not like he even did anything while unlocked, except of course...dropping a bucket of water on Athena.

There is no mention anywhere of Hayate doing such workout before meeting Athena, so it should be safe to assume that her spell was the catalyst for what would become the boulder he is now. Granted, he could've still trained with the same intensity even without being unlocked, but I doubt he would reach the look-at-me-fight-a-tiger tier without it.

On that note...Hayate's brother looks too unnaturally skilled....was it because of Shirosakura?

You are talking about something completely different here. I never wrote that Athena didn't kick Haytae, I was referring to when the scene from vol. 9 was put in context in the EotW arc (where saw those panels included in there) and explaining the reason why she kicked him (because you seemed to assume that she was doing it as part of his training when it was her being angry at him and lecturing him while confusing the other scene where she tells him to stop crying), and what is even more obvious (like musouka mentioned) is that the situation is meant to be taken as being comedic and not serious.

You seem to have forgotten that Haytae's strength has been proven to be abnormal by the story itself in the past. The fact that Hayate was able to fight robots, giant tree monsters, and hell, have boulders fall on him and merely brush off all that damage away like nothing is not something that is gained by simply having confidence to do so. He struggled to even carry a bucket of water before she unlocked his strength, and the series supports that she had done something to him to give him his monstrous power. You are simply saying ''Athena didn't do it, it must have been something else'' without actually showing information from the story to support that.

The second part of your post is really strange. You mock Game for actually using the information presented from the story itself, and through (by the author's own word) one of the strongest characters in the series to further validate their worth, while you have not actually provided anything that proves why it is not ''factual''

So you're arguing that your statement is more valid than mine because we're using different scenes?

Yes, it isn't normal to be able to do those things. Most of the story isn't normal, that's part of the humor of the series.
He's done those things after training himself for years, which is in itself abnormal.
Did he undertake those tests while he was with Athena? No, they were after, after his abnormal training regime.

I'm saying the exact opposite actually. The world is not black and white, don't pretend that it is.
I'm not discounting the possibility that Athena did do something, but acknowledging the possibility that she didn't. Occam's Razor takes the possibility with fewer assumptions. That would be the one saying she didn't do anything except give him confidence. He doesn't show a significant difference in endurance until he's undergone a training that would give him that endurance normally, and we've seen that it's still growing stronger.
If the spell simply made a jump in his endurance, would we still be seeing increases of such magnitude ten years later?
The only 'superhuman' thing Hayate has done in his circumstances has been to pull things out of thin air, standard for anime/manga characters and having absolutely nothing to do with Athena's spell.

That's what you get for not reading the rest of the argument. Non-Athena fans had just gotten a similar statement leveled at them.
Also, see above 'black and white' statement.
Having knowledge that she probably did have trained into her is different that making statements about things she couldn't possibly have known herself. Yet they are taken at full stock as true.

Could Athena be the reincarnation of the Greek goddess Athena?
Yes.
Could she just be a normal human?
Yes.
The story has given us nothing factual making either of these claims true or false.

The fact that you keeping denying what's obviously shown in "Hata's world" with endless excuses while the others constantly presenting facts from "Hata's world" that he had shown is hilarious.

I mean, really? The light on Athena's hand, the magic circle that she placed on him, his newly born strength say nothing to you. That would be very so impressive.

Everybody uses facts that provided by the author himself in the world that he created to support their claims except you. Everybody knows what happened and Athena's strength which was claimed by the author himself, HE KNOWS WHAT IS BLACK AND WHAT IS WHITE.

This "black and white" scenario is nothing more than "I must mix manga with reality since there is no way out."

If you don't trust what Hata wrote, which is about every positive aspect of Athena, why do you even arguing about her? There is really no point.

I just took the scene as a regular random powerup for the main character in a shonen manga. Except for the fight with Athena back when they were little (rigged too), Hayate hasn't been in any major battles in the past to compare his endurance with his present self. Jobwise, I don't think there's too much difference in his endurance. He had to support his lousy parents' gambling habits through work and obviously had to have a lot of jobs considering how much his parents spend on their investments. ALL of his spare time is devoted to working so his working hours and the amount of jobs he has wouldn't have changed much, and so little endurance boost would've been needed.
If training must be involved to keep the ridiculous amount of power the characters in this manga has, then it doesn't explain how Hinagiku or Maria still possess ridiculous skill, power and endurance despite not having the same training routine Hayate has (they probably don't even have any).

HE IS JUST GRATEFULL TO NAGI, HE IS NO LOLI LOVAR DARN, Hata will go to jail if hayate falls in love with nagi lulz (anyway for me is obvious he just sees her as a really beloved sister)
