Is it Risty or Listy?
What do YOU think happened? :heh:
Ok serious answer.
To get the Advanced Lifeform power out from Myuu her conscience has to be suppressed. So when Hikami got his hands on Myuu and hooked her up to the machine which channels Myuu's power into himself Hikami did a few dirty tricks to partially suppress Myuu's concious (not fully, because her conscience also acts as a safe guard in case the power is too great and goes out of control). After Hikami was defeated Myuu's conscience goes into recluse and Akatsuki did a mind meld thing to look for Myuu's conscience. Now that Myuu knows of of her true abilities she goes into the usual tragic heroine routine of "I better not wake up cos otherwise me being a target will put everyone in danger" thing, and Akatsuki applies his usual "persuasive" techniques to remind Myuu that she really can't live without him. ;)
For those worried about Akatsuki forcing himself on Myuu (which admittedly he does a few times during the series, but really ever since the group returned to the normal world from Alezard for the second time Myuu had been pretty open with Akatsuki's "approach" so much so that Akatsuki got a bit confused because he usually only does it to get the girls angry and smack him so he gets an excuse to stop, but Myuu haven't been asking him to stop for a while now), Myuu actually let him touch her down there in this instance too. They got it on pretty hard and Myuu asked Akatsuki to make her his woman (yeah in that sort of way), they kissed and that's when they woke up.
Well I guess it doesn't matter since it was just their conscience. Besides Myuu was thinking of having an orgy party with the other girls for her first time with Akatsuki anyway (serious, I'm not making this up) so maybe we would get that instead. :uhoh:
I know whom he is referring to, but I don't remember when that took place. :heh: I'm guessing somewhere between volume 4 and 5....
It only a matter of time when they would have sex.
In face have Akatsuki done the deed to any of his girls yet?

Nobody knows until we get the official romanisation.

Not at the moment. In fact Listy mentioned that although Akatsuki seems to grope girls a lot back in the days when they were travelling he doesn't have a reputation to go the whole way. (wait how does Listy know in the first place?!)

I'm not sure how strict novels censorship are but I doubt it is more strict that images and manga, and with the current trend in manga that "as long as you don't show the goods and it's ok to be classified as all age" and indeed many serialisation pushing the envelop way beyond anything we've even been shown in Hagure (refer to Champion Red and Champion Red Ichigo, two of the raciest phone book manga on the market now which actually shows sexual activity and ejaculation, just not the actual sexual organs, and thus gets a full pass for full age material) I doubt Hagure will get banned just for writing some words. :heh:

Hmm? isn't it already happened in the anime? (I forgot which episode) where Izumi sexually harassed Myuu in the changing room (Correct me if i'm wrong).
Beside the main girls (Myuu, Izumi, Class-rep, Princess, and Fuku-Kaichou) and whatever maids that pop out in episode 1, have Akatsuki sexually harassed any other girls in particular? Meh, that guy is really epic. He can sexually harass girls and get away from it as if nothing happened. A big badass.

Not sure about the maids as they don't really appear much but Akatsuki and Valkyria seems to respect each other a lot and obviously Akatsuki had harassed her too but they don't appear to be romantically involved in anyway.

I presume hikami kyouya took miu so as to gain godly powers. In what way was him using miu's power going to power him up?
I read somewhere that scarlet dust, cocoon and akatsuki's group went against him to defeat him. I can understand akatsuki's group taking action but why did scarlet dust and cocoon move against kyouya?
Then there is a girl with onizuka who is a scarlet dust member right? Any mention as to what her powers are?
In the anime where motoharu was with onizuka after onizuka was beaten by phil and akatsuki had gone ahead to catch up with phil after leaving onizuka with motoharu, motoharu mentions that he will be in trouble if onizuka dies there. Why did he say like that? Is this how it was in the novel?

On top of raw power which boosts every attribute he has such that his magic goes beyond the laws of physics (it is said that he can use ice magic which emits cold air and ice that goes below Absolute Zero) he also can instantly heal himself from fatal wounds (maybe expect if he gets decapitated or sliced into bits he would still died, but even a deep wound or a giant cut won't kill him). He also seems to gain extra awareness and the ability to "jack in" to the Japanese Babel tower's systems.
I read somewhere that scarlet dust, cocoon and akatsuki's group went against him to defeat him. I can understand akatsuki's group taking action but why did scarlet dust and cocoon move against kyouya?
Hikami getting Myuu and granting himself godly powers is his own personal plan to usurp COCOON so COCOON would take none of it, Hikami even made an international broadcast declaring that COCOON's method is wrong and that if the people would choose him he would use his power to defeat COCOON (as well as Scarlet Dusk). Originally Scarlet Dusk was only after the Phoenix Cells which Hikami took, but it was only part of Hikami's grand scheme of things so they got involved.
Then there is a girl with onizuka who is a scarlet dust member right? Any mention as to what her powers are?
Her name is Tiana. She's of middle school age and has super strength, a close quarter expert and wields a giant axe. Her conceptual ability is call "Order Draw", which she could "memorize" her opponent by touching them once, and afterwards she could pull the person towards her at will regardless of how strong her opponent is. Doesn't seem like a special skill but it's great for disrupting any action her opponent does plus as she is the close quarter expert and has super strength this makes her able to use her fighting ability to the max.
She's probably equal or stronger than Hikami on power alone and Cecil believes that Tiana could defeat normal Hikami because of her skills ("Order Draw" used as a surprise one-hit kill attack with her super strength is extremely deadly), but sadly she had to face Hikami when he's already linked to Myuu and getting power from her so Hikami was nearly invincible then.
In the anime where motoharu was with onizuka after onizuka was beaten by phil and akatsuki had gone ahead to catch up with phil after leaving onizuka with motoharu, motoharu mentions that he will be in trouble if onizuka dies there. Why did he say like that? Is this how it was in the novel?
Yeah it's exactly the same here as the novel. Since Akatsuki while not knowing Motoharu's true power he at least knew that Motoharu is no pushover and that he can move really quick and silently so he should not have problem moving Onizuka back to safety to get treatment really quickly, and if Motoharu lets Onizuka dies he knows that Akatsuki isn't going to let him off easily so that's why he said it like that in a half-joking manner.
Who is Lu?
Ludi the elf.
Wow thanks for the answers.

Is Phoenix cells the one to resurrect anyone from the dead? Is it in possession of scarlet dusk?
At present is it an open knowledge that kaito and tiana are from scarlet dusk?

Yep that's the one.
Tiana managed to recover two samples from zombie Phil and zombie Tanaka, but she ended up using both of them to save a dying Onizuka. In the end Michael Edwards (Akatsuki's brother's fake name, actually it is said that all COCOON members uses fake names, this includes Hikami), captured Tiana and Onizuka though so the sample of Phoenix Cell which would be inside Onizuka's body is now in COCOON's hands.
At present is it an open knowledge that kaito and tiana are from scarlet dusk?
Akatsuki's group knows that Kaito Motoharu is a member of Scarlet Dusk though they have no knowledge of the other Scarlet Dusk members. Onizuka knows Tiana is Scarlet Dusk as well but also has no knowledge of the other members.
Is it possible for anyone to access the tower systems and gain higher abilities?
Yes. In fact if someone touches Myuu/the system their potent ability would be awaken without having to travel to the alternate worlds more than once.
Minami and Ryouhei got a power boost this way. Both of them sided with Hikami.
And about the Phoenix cells. can't they use it to revive the dead sister? might be a future story plot?
Could be. I think you might be onto something here.....

They should have, but we haven't seen any yet because it still takes training to develop the skill and they haven't had the chance to do any yet.
Oh, and when you said Akatsuki could create himself from ki you mean he can make clones of himself like Naruto?
No completely different. While the ki "clone" would look exactly like Akatsuki it is not a solid body, so sort of like a ghost (and you can't punch or cut air), except that the attacks from this ki "clone" of his still deals physical damage like any of Akatsuki's Renkankeikikou because it interacts directly with the opponents ki inside his body.
BTW, about Akatsuki's sword, was that the true form of the sword in the last episode?
No, it's only the second stage form.
^ Did the sword change in the last eps, I didn't notice any changes.
Yeah it did, the tip took on a giant crescent shape.
In the novel when Akatsuki was trying to tame Sleipnir (the bike) he actually summoned his sword (because the weapons generated from AD acts as an amplifier to their powers), and when Professor Kubota saw Akatsuki's sword he said it must be Laevateinn (from Norse mythology). When Haruka heard this she recalls that in mythology that Laevateinn had nine seals and that Akatsuki's sword needed seven ADs to summon so she speculated that it might not be its true form (although she chalked it up as a mere coincident and that the sword can't be the same Laevateinn from the mythology she still thinks that the good professor had a reason to refer to it that way), that is why at the fight with Zahark she gave him her AD bracelet because she thought it might release more of the swords true potential.
No, it's only the second stage form.
When you say second stage, do you mean 7 ads as first stage, 8 ads as second stage and 9 ads as third stage?
Does he use 8ads commonly in battle? Is it not simply possible for him to add another ad so as to use 9ads? I preseme that it will increase his abilities. Is this right?
Professor kubota mentioned ousawa gouki was a friend of his before akatsuki tamed slepnir. Is there a mention if he is still in contact with gouki and if they are on friendly terms? Is his allegiance to the babel?
The coloured picture on the page 4 in volume 9 with akatsuki and listy. What actually happened for them to be in that situation?

When you say second stage, do you mean 7 ads as first stage, 8 ads as second stage and 9 ads as third stage?
No, because this is never specified. In the novel the author just says that it is the "second stage". The new AD Haruka brought to Akatsuki before they all went to Alezard is now specially tuned to Akatsuki and he only needs one now and can summon the second stage in time of special need so this whole "number of AD = seals for Laevateinn" business is throw out the window.
Does he use 8ads commonly in battle? Is it not simply possible for him to add another ad so as to use 9ads?
Refer above. Also Akatsuki tried to use 8 ADs after and it only got the normal sword so he figured that it's not completely about the number of ADs.
Professor kubota mentioned ousawa gouki was a friend of his before akatsuki tamed slepnir. Is there a mention if he is still in contact with gouki and if they are on friendly terms? Is his allegiance to the babel?
He didn't actually said "friend" but rather an acquittance and doesn't really seem like he knows Gouki that deeply. He doesn't really have any allegiance to anyone but is more into his research though he seems to have a pretty strong sense of justice anyway.
The picture in volume 9 with akatsuki and listy. What actually happened for them to be in that situation?
After Akatsuki fought Motoharu, Myuu's mental projection and 3 Zahark clones he's energy is spent before he's reached Hikami. Listy had learnt from Ludi before that Akatsuki can replenish his ki by absorbing someone elses ki (Akatsuki had done it before with Ludi) and ask Akatsuki to perform this action because she knew that afterwards she can't help Akatsuki to fight Hikami so the best she can do is to give her ki to Akatsuki, Akatsuki accepts her proposal and told her that he must do this by sucking the ki out from a point on the chest in front of the heart, so that's what happened.
Oh so akatsuki fought motoharu in volume 9. Did akatsuki win motoharu in a fairly easy manner or he just barely won? What is the status of motoharu as of volume 9?
Akatsuki used 8 ADs in the final battle

Their fight was interrupted by Myuu, they were pretty equal otherwise up till that moment. Motoharu's still alive and good by the end of volume 9 him and Akatsuki and the group is still on that strange friendly terms as even though he was on Cecil's order to hold back Akatsuki and cause a distraction (so that Tiana can get into Babel and get the Phoenix Cell), he still helped them in the end a saved Haruka from a tight spot (though he's reasoning was that Akatsuki threaten to kill him when he once joked about harming Haruka [which Akatsuki did BTW and he meant it], but it's pretty obvious that he does do it out of some attachment to the group and not because of Akatsuki's threat) as well as taking on Hikami for a few moments.

Yeah, Professor Kubota was watching. He made the battle simulator due to strong request from the students and asked Akatsuki to test it. When Akatsuki was playing with the simulator (he got bored when he found that the hardest enemy he can fight was only Zahark) he accidentally entered the debug mode and "unlocked" Gouki, Kubota didn't stop him and just let him be. It is during this fight where Akatsuki horned his martial arts and swordmanship skills (he uses too many large and useless movements before as one of his fighting style used was performing really random attack patterns utilising every part of his body which makes it hard for the opponents to read his moves and thus lets him overwhelms his opponent but against opponents much stronger than himself such as Gouki as well as a computer program which has unlimited stamina this tactic doesn't work well and instead wastes his own ki and energy, so going in the exact opposite direction he performs really tight but pinpoint powerful attacks), and he also learnt to enter the Zone, which he triggers by concentrating his Renkankekikou on his brain.
Beside dragons, is there any other divine beings that Akatsuki has fought thus far on the series?

I actually think this would be a harem ending but not the typical "I can't choose one" and the girls chases the guy type open-end but rather "I choose all of you". As the hagure yuusha Akatsuki's (and the series') charm point is that he doesn't play by the rules and is the anti-whimpy-and-dense shounen hero, also he displays more or less equal affection towards each girl (I suppose Myuu still gets a little more favourable treatment) and make approaches to them, and as said before Myuu and Listy are open to polygamy because they are from a culture which doesn't forbid such practice and besides neither of them has anything to return to in Alezard so they would be staying with Akatsuki no matter what so either way there's going to be two (unless the author kills off one of them, which I highly doubt). For the normal world girls Haruka had also abandoned all her past to follow Akatsuki and Myuu, this leaves out Chikage and Kuzuha up in the air but that's already 3 definite members in the harem that I would think aren't going anywhere...

Never specified, maybe he just got lucky because he's the top dog in another way if you think about it.

Yes, I think the official count is 13 or something like that.
When Akatsuki returned to Arezard, did he take Sleipnir with him cause it didn't show him taking it in the anime?
No he didn't.
Does the bike display any new abilities?
Since Sleipnir is made out of the same stuff as AD, it actually has the ability to morph in a limited way to suit the situation. So far it is able to grow a side car so it can carry more people.
Is the relationship between Cecil and Gouki purely professional?
Hard to tell, too little interaction between them so far.

Thank you houkoholic. Can you give use more detail on Akatsuki's fight with Hikami? I don't get how Akatsuki's new ability to project things using ki could have helped him beat Hikami considering the hax abilities you mentioned he had. Did Akatsuki absorb Hikami's abilities when he beat him?
Also, I don't understand how Myuu could possess such godlike power because you said Garius was just a regular human and her mother was a dark elf?

Myuu conscience was able to reverse the flow of the energy to Hikami below 50% sync such that he was weaker than Akatsuki thus Akatsuki could beat him.
Did Akatsuki absorb Hikami's abilities when he beat him?
Who knows. :) But I doubt it because
Hikami's conceptual ability is call "Double Delete" which allows him to use opposing elemental magic equally well (people can use opposing elemental magic but usually not equal in strength, eg Chikage is primarily a water magic user so while she can use fire magic but only to the point of igniting a spark, though that is enough to set off explosions of hydrogen obtained from manipulating water molecules as seem with her battle with Zahark). So Hikami's not only a top ice user but also a top fire user, and his name Hikami could be represented with kanji as 氷神 (lit. ice god) and 火神 (lit. fire god) but he uses 氷神 and ice magic to throw people off to think he is an ice magic user and saves his fire magic for surprise attacks. Finally he is able to use "Double Delete" to combine ice and fire magic to make an anti-matter beam which would literally erase anything in the path of the beam. But since Akatsuki can't use magic so don't see how there's anything for him to absorb.
The other hax abilities he got from Myuu aren't his so there's nothing to get there either.
Also, I don't understand how Myuu could possess such godlike power because you said Garius was just a regular human and her mother was a dark elf?
We don't know yet either, Miranda suspected it's just a random mutation but who knows....

In a nutshell that's what it is - a secret ability that is unique to each person. It's call conceptual ability because it is neither magic based on borrowing power from the basic elements (fire, water, wind, earth etc) nor is it magic which manipulates the laws of the physical world - but are abilities which lies outside of both regions which can be said to disregard elemental energy, physical and scientific laws.

Does what she pleases and sometimes would even prioritise personal goals/pleasure over minor goals of the organisation and will acknowledge her followers doing the same (when Tiana got attached to Onizuka and failed to fulfil her mission to chase after some clues on the Phoenix Cell Cecil didn't disapprove, rather she seems quite understanding that Tiana would only abandon her mission if Tiana found something important for herself, even though Cecil never asked Tiana what it was she just accepted it), but on the other hand when push comes to shove won't be clouded by emotions either. Seems to care for her followers in general and has a firm understanding of their abilities as well as personality and thus has gained loyalty from her followers in return as well.

So how did Akatsuki's first meeting with Cecil end? She put his hand on her chest to show dominance so how did Akatsuki react?
BTW, you Haruka was submissive to him. How submissive exactly?

I hope cecil join the harem. By what you said, she would make a good addition to the harem. A mature woman with experience. It doesn't matter if she join near the end, when akatsuki fight with his father & brother is close, if they ever fight.

Hmm? but i recall he said something along the lines of "No generic harem, no twilight for guys, and no ecchi/fanservice, only pure plot-driven stories". I doubt he will take Hagure Yuusha if that's the case.
There more then 1 poll running you know, I can a sure you that right now there a poll running with Hagure Yuusha No Aesthetica been one of the LN to vote for.

So how did Akatsuki's first meeting with Cecil end?
Their chat got interrupted when a third party (agents whom were trying to recover the Phoenix Cell) burst into the scene which led to Akatsuki taking Cecil on a chase on Sleipnir.
She put his hand on her chest to show dominance so how did Akatsuki react?
By the only way Akatsuki could react of course:
He stole her bra without her knowing until much later. Which impressed Cecil and thought that he had potential and later with Akatsuki taking care of Hikami pretty much confirmed her intuition on Akatsuki. So now Cecil is determined to see whether she can make Akatsuki submit to her first or would he make her fall for him first, she seems like she would be happy with either outcome.
BTW, you Haruka was submissive to him. How submissive exactly?
By obeying his command in the bathroom for starters :eyespin:

So Cecil continued to interact with Akatsuki's group after Hikami's defeat? Did she move into the house next door or something?
When did Akatsuki display the abilities he stole from Zahark and how?
I heard that Myuu met Akatsuki's dad when he collapsed from hunger but she didn't know who he was?
What is Scarlet Dusk's goal?
Does Akatsuki's harem know about his dad and brother?

Possible, but somehow I kind of doubt it.
So Cecil continued to interact with Akatsuki's group after Hikami's defeat? Did she move into the house next door or something?
No, she just kept her eyes on him that's all. She's still doing her own thing.
When did Akatsuki display the abilities he stole from Zahark and how?
When he duel with Listy, Zacks and Lu.
They had a combination attack originally designed to fight Garius which involves Listy creating a giant flaming rock and Zacks cutting it up and create a flaming meteor shower covering a wide area. Akatsuki couldn't dodge it and the magic power is stronger than his ki barrier can handle so he was forced to use the Absolute Barrier, though nobody knew at that time.
The other time when people found out for sure is when Akatsuki lost to Leon and was seriously wounded and lost conciousness and Lu tried to cast a healing spell on him and it got cancelled due to the Barrier.
I heard that Myuu met Akatsuki's dad when he collapsed from hunger but she didn't know who he was?
Yeah, Listy and Myuu met him.
What is Scarlet Dusk's goal?
Beside defeating COCOON, not sure.
Does Akatsuki's harem know about his dad and brother?
They knew from Hikami that Michael Edwards is Akatsuki's brother and that Gouki is his father because Hikami found clues and pieced together their relationship using COCOON's massive database of all the people whom had travelled to the other worlds. Hikami revealed it during his broadcast.
How were Hikami's stooges defeated with their power boost?
Youhei fought Motoharu. Motoharu was still not at 100% capacity due to his fight with Akatsuki and Myuu's energy blast which made him unable to use his conceptual ability, but even then Youhei's hardly someone at the level of Motoharu having only just obtained the power boost that day so Motoharu entered the Zone and kicked his butt.
Minami got distracted by Youhei's defeat which gave Haruka an opening to knock her out by using a variation of Myuu's attack she used against Zahark (use lightning magic on self, then use wind magic to dash right up to Minami and bear hugs her and release all of the lighting directly into Minami's body).
What are cocoon goals?
They have some plan call "Project Y" that involves bring the High Level Lifeforms into the normal world and using their power, but what for exactly isn't known. Hikami was able to get his plan going so quick is partly because he hijacked some of the technology and knowledge from "Project Y" and he was able to find out Myuu is a High Level Lifeform and hid that fact from the COCOON members.

Then what would be the conceptual abilities of Akatsuki's group?

We simply don't know yet because the characters themselves don't know it either.
Have they ever gone to a different world other then the one Akatsuki been to?

Nobody knows until we get the official romanisation.
Not at the moment. In fact Listy mentioned that although Akatsuki seems to grope girls a lot back in the days when they were travelling he doesn't have a reputation to go the whole way. (wait how does Listy know in the first place?!)
I'm not sure how strict novels censorship are but I doubt it is more strict that images and manga, and with the current trend in manga that "as long as you don't show the goods and it's ok to be classified as all age" and indeed many serialisation pushing the envelop way beyond anything we've even been shown in Hagure (refer to Champion Red and Champion Red Ichigo, two of the raciest phone book manga on the market now which actually shows sexual activity and ejaculation, just not the actual sexual organs, and thus gets a full pass for full age material) I doubt Hagure will get banned just for writing some words. :heh:
She was a queen, afterall, and as a monarch, she would have her own intelligence (spying) network.

Why was Gouki even near AKatsuki's house?
Who was that woman that seemed to be Micheal's secretary in the illustration and why did Cecil meet with Michael? What did they talk about?
There is also an illustration where Cecil rides Sleipnir with Akatsuki in some sort of chase. What was that about?
Why did Akatsuki's armor generated by his AD changed when he returned to Arezard? On a similar note, did Myuu's armor change to the one shown in the ED of the anime?

Why was Gouki even near AKatsuki's house?
He wasn't. Myuu and Listy got lost trying to find their way home without Akatsuki, Myuu had a mobile phone but wasn't sure how to use it and Listy is new to the world so she has no idea either.
Who was that woman that seemed to be Micheal's secretary in the illustration
His secretary. :heh:
and why did Cecil meet with Michael? What did they talk about?
Michael went to Japan to stop Hikami, investigate the Japanese government's involvement with Japan Babel as well as to retrieve the Phoenix Cell. Since Tiana and Onizuka had the Phoenix Cell so both of them tracked Tiana and met. Cecil let Michael capture Tiana and Onizuka because Tiana and Onizuka were both badly injured and she knew that Michael would not only not harm them but would save them due to him needing the info of the Phoenix Cell, and it was much better than them getting into a prolonged battle.
There is also an illustration where Cecil rides Sleipnir with Akatsuki in some sort of chase. What was that about?
From a previous post:
Their chat got interrupted when a third party (agents whom were trying to recover the Phoenix Cell) burst into the scene which led to Akatsuki taking Cecil on a chase on Sleipnir.
Why did Akatsuki's armor generated by his AD changed when he returned to Arezard?
It wasn't generated by his AD - he bought the armour from a vintage shop. He specifically picked one that would make him look evil and maou-like as he was representing the Mazoku, also because as usual he is taking on the "bad guy" role. Also remember that armour is pretty irrelevant to Akatsuki due to his abilities, so it was more of a symbol than anything.
On a similar note, did Myuu's armor change to the one shown in the ED of the anime?
Yes.
Possible, but somehow I kind of doubt it.
They knew from Hikami that Michael Edwards is Akatsuki's brother and that Gouki is his father because Hikami found clues and pieced together their relationship using COCOON's massive database of all the people whom had travelled to the other worlds. Hikami revealed it during his broadcast.

@houkoholic: Considering he killed the old one, how did Akatsuki become the new Maou?
I mean I can't imagine the mazoku just agreeing to him becoming their leader.
Also, can you describe the instances where Akatsuki used his World Traveler ability? It isn't an ability that can be used in combat can it?
@blackwhite the answer to your first question which houkoloic has answered already is he became mao so he could delcare war on the humans that were attacking the mazoku.
I think houkoloic will give a better answer because ^ was his answer.
blackwhite67
2012-10-05, 20:20
No. I was referring to the mazoku's willingness to agree to him being the new maou.

Edit 1: Okay before i get to to the summaries/ spoiler i just realizied we never had a full out summary except Vol. 3 the rest are spoilers. I tried compiling them but i did a crappy job you could say due to what i said last sentence. So dont jump me, cause i know it sucks the following are just a little bit of questions people had and others answered them which spoils the story. I have no credit to the spoilers that are given.
Vol 1 : Introduction arc and Tanaka terorism arc.
Vol 2 & 3 : Ranking tournament exam arc and new hero (Phil Barnet) arc.
Vol 4 & 5 : Return to Alezard arc.
Vol 6 ~ 9 : Listy's shopping, Sleep over, Kyoya's Betrayal, and Miu Kidnaping arc.
Volume 3Prologue - The Malicious Scar at The Corner -Sandyhy88
Listy El Da Sherfied exit spatial transfer door along with General Zeck Doltoreck, Executive Lucie Tolm, and her maid Valkyria.
Spatial Transfer door tranfer people within the world (it's also can sent the people from another world back to his/her world). Alezard has 8 spatial transfer door and only royalty or important person that can use it. But can be use for general when in emergency.
They're just back for meeting at Disdia Empire to discuss something.
In the past, Sherfied Kingdom, Disdia Empire, and Alkrast Imperial always use it gather meeting about how to defeat Maou Garius. And because of that formed a military alliance between them.
But te last meeting now was discussed about how to capture Maou's daughter Miao.
After that they choice Queen Office to have secret talk for eliminate the risk of leaked.
After Valkyria close the door, Listy suddenly has heavy sigh.
"Too tired, just one day out of country"
Listy's tone is hopeless with her head resting at the desk with a mountain of official document.
"Really! the judgment of Lucie-sama is correct"
"If we back by land like The Highness suggest, it will take 5 days and a lot more document will piled at that desk"
Valkyria speak calmly.
By land, Listy want to inspect the reconstruction of Sherfied territory, especially the border and hoping that the reconstruction work finish accordance with the schedule.
Listy understand that Lucie and Valkyria suggestion was correct.
But seeing and using spatial tranfer door make her remember about someone.
[...Akatsuki...]
Akatsuki is a hero that can inspire others. It will be a great help if he stay and bring greater hope and courage to people (not all resident of Alezard that hate him, mainly army who fight side by side with him, all respect and adore him).
[...No!..not that...]
The one who want him to stay the most is not the people of Alezard, but Listy herself.
Akatsuki back to his world and Listy ascended to the throne of the Queen.
After time elapsed, Listy understand that in the past he occupied an important position in her heart. His strength, a bright smile, and a strong personality, not only bring Listy inexplicable sense of security, it become one of her spiritual pillar.
But now, it's not that time. She must finish all official document that take several hours to finish.
"I will help, with two people, it's much faster" Lucie said with smile.
"Two peaple? Only Lulu?" Said Listy while has sinister eye to Zeck.
"Don't underestimete me! I will hep too" Zeck rebuke.
"These document aside, the most important thing is..." Listy suddenly lower down the volume of speech.
"You two should be more or less guessed right? Yes! I would like to invite you to investigate somethings"
Zeck will investigate about the origin of Disdia Hero, Phil Barnet. They never hear about him in the past. And if he summoned recently, how he gain power so much at short time.
Lucie will investigate about people that back to their world. Is there any way that people that return come back to Alezard or not. At any rate Listy believe that there is a way. Because Akatsuki said that if she need help, call his name.
"Investigate is of course not a problem, but.... are you have any plan that there is a way?" Lucie tone is very quite.
Is it just analyze the mechanism of the world? or she intend to resummon Akatsuki? Lucie eyes flashing indignant look as if ill blame Listy consideration.
[Akatsuki return to his world with Maou's daughter]
Listy do not want to belive what Disdia Emperor, Balam, said.
Listy already made up her mind that what ever happen, she always standing on Akatsuki's side.
Therefore the investigate will begin.
Lucie will ask to her elder that lived for thousand year.
And Zeck with the spy from Disdia Army.
Suddenly there a knock at the office door.
"The is a very important thing that must to report, Valkyria-sama" The sound of the maid.
Sudeenly the maid explain the situation that happen when they leave the country.
With the heavy tone.
Part 2
"Why..."
Listy could not belive what she saw.
Seeing the destruction of the grave.
Spirit Park is the eternal resting place for soldier who unfortunately die during war againt Mazoku.
From all the tomb that exist, only one tomb that get destroyed.
Leon Esperio's Grave.
"Horrible, who would do something like this?"
If it's Akatsuki, there is a few residents that still hold grudge.
But Listy cannot thing of anyone for Leon's grave.
"Valkyria! Immediately bring the perpetrators out! Destruction of the Hero's grave would be a heavy crime against the people of Sherfied Kingdom"
Zeck that realise it that the tomb was destroyed like being smash with large hammer. but Leon's tombstone was made by special ore with the hardness higher than iron ore. It's also magic resistance. so a mere hammer or general magic cannot destroy the tombstone.
Zeck think that only expert swordman can do this, and she remember one man.
But still cannot conclude that he was the perpetrators.
Part 3
In the middle night of Japan BABEL, mental harm enchantment was not activate because of the machine being destroyed by intruders.
There is a man that trying to bring back the system, Kubota.
He is the head of staff that create AD, Physical damage special enchantment, or simulation training system contruction of BABEL. Almost all system are his masterpiece.
Kubota thing how can a mere intruder can bring all system of BABEL not function. Even the back up system for emergency too.
[Is there any traitor at inside?]
He cannot stop to think like that.
Chapter 1 - Beautiful Moonlit Night Sandyhy88
Part 1
There is a fire at BABEL training stadium that convert to become a huge forest for Final Ranking Exam.
At the hill stand a man, Ousawa Akatsuki.
Today is the first day of Final Ranking Exam.
At daytime fight, Akatsuki and his team defeated numerous competitors.
After nightfall, Akatsuki alone fight against Student Council of Japan BABEL.
But before finished the fight, he stopped.
The reason is simple, Akatsuki little sister Myuu, Chikage, and Kuzuha has a fierce fight at their camp.
With the distance three kilometers, he dash in the middle night.
It's took him less than one minute to arrive the scene thanks to his extraordinary physical.
But still lagged a step behind.
The camp was completely destroyed.
"This is ..."
The Student Council members subsequently arrived. The speed is quite fast, beyond the Akatsuki expected.
Probably using Haruka flight magic of the wind properties, Akatsuki thought. The three members of the student council looked at the destruction of the camp.
"The previous sound of battle was from here?"
Minami immediately contact staff to track the whereabout of Ousawa Myuu and the other two from AD reaction.
But failed because system enchantment broken.
Know that the BABEL staff and student council helpless, Akatsuki closes his eyes.
At the same time focus his counciousness rather than his hearing.
Akatsuki start searching by infuriating. Anything has difference infuriating response, include earth or air.
[Found it!]
Myuu's infuriating moving fast to south direction, near the strange infuriating. He suspect that this person is the perpetrators and Akatsuki remember his infuriating for tracker (target lock on).
"It seem Myuu still alright and not far away. with their speed, I can catch up easily"
But Akatsuki capture weak infuriating response for Kuzuha and Chikage.
Akatsuki suddenly run to the scene.
"Hey! what happen?"
Seeing Akatsuki's pale face, Haruka cannot help surprised.
ignoring Haruka's question, Akatsuki stop at a dumping of the trunk.
With gently waving his right hand just like drive away mosquitoes, The harsh wind noise pierced the air and huge tree trunk flying to the sky.
The ground tremble from the impact of huge tree trunk.
"This is ..."
Ignoring student council awe, Akatsuki cried out:
"IZUMI!!! CLASS REP!!!"
Both girls seriouly injured that make Akatsuki shocked. Akatsuki gently grab and lift up both girls.
"...Ousawa-kun...?" Kuzuha suddenly regained conciousness.
However, her voice is surprisingly weak, lost its former composure and calm.
"I'm sorry ......"
Barely squeezed out from the throat trembling trace of the statement, but it as fine as mosquito-sounding whimper.
"......"
Akatsuki seeing, can not help but narrowed his eyes.
At this time from behind Haruka finally found the existence of the two.
"Doumoto-san! Izumi-san! You all right?"
"I ... I'm fine ... Fortunately, Izumi she ...... she stand in front of me in a pinch ...
Kuzuha struggling to turn his neck, looking at the side of Chikage.
Awareness of Chikage has not been restored, the red trail of blood to extend all the way from the temple near the cheek. It seems from this situation, the head has impact with heavy objects.
"Doumoto-san, in the end what hap...."
Before finished, Akatsuki immediately raise his hand to stop her.
Akatsuki despite raging from anger, calmly ask the question:
"...what kind of guy?"
"Never seen him before.... suddenly appeared.... he is very strong... we cannot match him..... in order to protect us that already seriously injured, Ousawa-san ....."
Suddenly Kuzuha remember something.
"He is seem like from another world. Ousawa-san mention that Paladin of Disdia...."
"....."
Akatsuki's face fell.
Do not need to ask further questions, Akatsuki has understand the situation.
The intruders is the pursuer from Alezard.
Akatsuki know that someone from Alezard will send the pursuer, but didn't expected that it was this fast.
".... I see, I understand"
Akatsuki nodded and stroking Kuzuha's cheek.
"You've worked hard, Class rep, leave it to me, don't worry about it."
After the word has just finished.
"........."
Kuzuha suddenly lost consciousness.
After seeing her sleeping state, Akatsuki's right hand has glowing ray. Seeing this Uesuki Ryouhei ask:
"What are you doing Ousawa-san?"
"The first aid. Using my qi to guide her inner qi to work only for healing"
After that, Akatsuki's hand cover the head of Chikage who lost much the blood. After getting treatment from Akatsuki, her pale face gradually back on track.
"It seem that Izumu's infuriating also already stabilized, ... vice-pres!"
"....Ah! Yes!"
Akatsuki's tone is very severe, Haruka suddenly taken aback.
"Bring these two to nearby staff camp. You're good at fly Magic, there are no people that faster than you. According to the explanation of the ranking tournament, the medical team are on standby at any time in the camp headquarters? "
".....Yes, but now they gone"
Mina suddenly interupted.
"This afternoon, amysterious man suddenly invade the school. Because of there're several security guard injured, medical team down to help them"
"Is that so...... Then it's simple. send the injured directly to infirmary. Anyway, the one that can fly and transport only you. This task belong to you"
"First call my name, don't calling me 'you'....."
Haruka helpless sigh.
"For the rest student, because we cannot track them by AD, it's best that using Aihara-san golem to identify the current location of students. How much you can use it?"
Akatsuki suddenly ask Aihara Minami.
"....Two hundred at once should not be a problem"
"Very good! Immediately mobilize all golem for looking the rest of survive student and guide them to nearby staff camp in order to reduce unnecessary casualties"
And then ....
"Uesuki-kun will work along with Aihara-san and if you find any seriously injured students, use fire magic to send a signal for vice-pres know"
"I understand.... If any found the injured student, using fire magic to pinpoint the place for vice-pres come to place and transport them right?"
Uesuki Ryouhei immediately understand the intetion of Akatsuki.
"But..."
Uesuki Ryouhei suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"....That way, we will not be able to participate in the search for the intruder's. Are you going to track the strength and the true face of the enemy alone?"
"Everyone has their own talent, things are not always prioritized it. You are a member of the student council, in addition to leading all of the students, to protect the safety of all students are your responsibility? So Hello, you do your work, I do what I mush do"
"Even so, you are also one of students that we mush protect"
Haruka staring at Akatsuki.
"Even though you are the most problematic student at school, as Japan BABEL higher management, we cannot sit by and watch you in danger?"
"Oh.... is vice-pres actually worry about me?"
"You, you don't misunderstanding. As vice-president, it's her duty to concern and protect every student"
Haruka suddenly flushed quickly.
"Thank you for your concern..... But as the older brother, this is my duty to protect her."
Akatsuki looked around to the trio.
Not hesitate to draw conclusion:
[Whatever you do, you cannot stop me]
"..............."
The student council of the three suddenly silent, and the reason is indeed can not be denied.
When the two sides duel, though there are not yet has a winner, which one is better was already evident.
The trio already know who can help Myuu now, is only Ousawa Akatsuki.
Part 2
"I leave class pres and Izumi to you"
After said that Akatsuki suddenly dash away.
"Ah..."
Nanase Haruka only watched Akatsuki leave.
Watching for Akatsuki face the crisis alone.
[...Wait....]
Cannot understand why but her chest is difficult to suppress an emotional. Made she could not help shouting.
"I will find you!"
Nanase Haruka do not understand the meaning of such feelings, she just could not help but nothing more.
"After finish evacuate all students and determine that everyone safe, we will find you!"
Akatsuki stop and turning back.
[....Ah....]
It's very clear that Akatsuki smile. The same smile that she saw at Kubota's factory the other day. Nanase Haruka no longer speak, she didn't know how to begin.
After that Akatsuki continue running until his back completely disappeared into the darkness.
Haruka cast her eyes down.
"Ryouhei, Minami, Let go!"
Raise her head and restore her detemination, she start what she must do.
Have to wait for the rest due to Sandy having a break this is all I could get from Vol 3
Vol. 4- Houkoholic
When the group went back to Alezard they splitted into two groups for their mission: Akatsuki, Myuu and Haruka in one. Motoharu, Chikage and Kuzuha as another.
Akatsuki's group went back to Listy's homeland Slyphid and as their base Akatsuki went to the courtesan's guild that he worked for. As a precaution the owner of the guild Melissa made Myuu and Haruka dress in the lingerie so they would blend in with the other girls in the guild, but Melissa also made Myuu and Haruka do some chores (cleaning and wash the dishes). So after a hard day's work Myuu and Haruka went back to the room they were staying in and they wanted to find something to drink. They found a bottle of mysterious fruit juice (which turns out to be concentrated aphrodisiac potion) and when Akatsuki returned he found them in that state, and well, you can fill in the rest.
Vol-6 Houkoholic
Someone is touching one of the twins of cecil?
That was Cecil grabbing Akatsuki's hand and putting it on her breast. There's deeper meaning there in the conversation. Akatsuki ran into Cecil when Cecil was on a chase for the Phoenix Cell secret exchange in a cafe. The two stroke up a conversation (though Akatsuki doesn't know Cecil's identity at that time) and Cecil said that she doesn't mind being with Akatsuki (even though Akatsuki confessed that he's a pervert) because she knows that Akatsuki won't be able to do anything to her unless she lets him. Akatsuki made a comment about how Cecil is a guy's name and said could it be that Cecil's actually a transvestine in which Cecil suddenly grabbed Akatsuki's hand and put it on her breast as "proof" that she's a real woman. Akatsuki was surprised because being as strong as he is (and constantly alert with strangers) it shouldn't be easy for someone to just grab his dominate hand let alone move it against his will, also Akatsuki's perverted ability means he's always the one which makes women submit to him. So it was actually Cecil showing her dominance over Akatsuki there in that situation.
Volume 9 - Houkoholic
Hikami was defeated by Akatsuki, he was completely swallowed by Akatsuki's ki blast, didn't mention anything about bodies however. But since the Japanese government have successfully created the Phoenix Cell which can revive dead people plus also on Alezard side there are spells which can revive the dead I wouldn't totally rule out that he might come back as a zombie of some sorts. Especially since it is hinted that Hikami might actually be related to someone important on the Alezard side.
As for how Akatsuki fend off magic attacks - since the basic elemental magic (earth, fire, water, wind) a manipulation of the environment, and that everything of the environment has ki in it, and Akatsuki's Renkankekikou is the ability to manipulate ki, he is thus able to create a ki barrier with Renkankekikou to protect himself from basic elemental magic. This is how he fends off the magic from people like Onizuka and Haruka. However the barrier is not invincible, if the elemental magic user has great ability the ki barrier can be breached - such as when Hikami was channelling power from Myuu's inner Super Advanced Dimensional Lifeform power even the most basic fire spell could hurt Akatsuki.
Note that there are actually higher forms of special ability above elemental magic such as physics ability (which manipulates laws of physics) and the even higher conceptual ability (which is a unique hax type ability to each person, such as Kaito Motohara's binding chains which you get a glimpse of in ep 12), and Akatsuki's ki barrier are useless against those.

@houkoholic: Considering he killed the old one, how did Akatsuki become the new Maou?
I mean I can't imagine the mazoku just agreeing to him becoming their leader.
A combination of Myuu's personal endorsement and his own power level was all that was necessary. It's not like even if anyone disagrees they could beat Akatsuki in a fight anyway. :p
Also, can you describe the instances where Akatsuki used his World Traveler ability? It isn't an ability that can be used in combat can it?
What do you mean by world traveler ability?
What do you mean by world traveler ability?
Probably he was referring to ability that enabling Akatsuki and his harem transferred from their own world into Arezzard and vice versa.

The Ability of Akatsuki's Group:
Renkan Ki Kikou
Using body ki to stengthen the body over the human limit. Gain much more speed and strengh. Can also reinforce the weapon with ki to make it stronger (like Bosoku Haki in One Piece). Or synchronize with other people to heal them. Can also manipulate the body control such as blood (even if his heart stab, he still barely alive) or detoxicated the body. The strongest is He can focus and release all ki (like goku when become super saiya) and gain godly speed and strengh for a moment with the cost of extreme pain.
World Traveler
Using a variation of Renkan Ki Kikou with imagine the world scenery that he want to go.
Command, Tactician, and Negotiator
Clever, can make any solution and tactic when at war and negotiation.
Even thought often do pervert thing but always has the meaning.
High-Level Barier
Generate High-Level Barrier like High-Level Existence has like dragon that nullified any magic (Imagine Breaker).
Know Female Body Weakness
If the enemy is women, he attack the weak point of the woman like ear or back etc. But if that woman can get really really irritate (like Miranda), Akatsuki will kill her in the spot.
His weapon has second form that much stronger but seldom to used for the form much gruesome.
He is King typical that can move anyone even though it is ally or enemy.
The True Supreme King.
Extreme Super High-Level Existence (God class)
Element Magic
Can use any high element magic but the favorite is Wind Magic. So she can generate thunder and fly.
God's power
She can create something from nothing but because her power unstable, her item is to fragile. She create "The Dagger of Thunder" that can penetrate High-Level Barrier from consentrate of Wind magic that generate Thunder. Her body can go through any barrier that anyone or magic cannot (Akatsuki's Imagine Breaker).
High Observation. She know about Akatsuki sleeping habit so she know how to sneaking to Akatsuki's bed without getting caught and sleep nude with him.
Immune to a certain pervert thing. She can naked and taking bath with Akatsuki normally without getting shy.
Clever and Competitive. She always can make any plan that make her has a step ahead from any girl that interest to Akatsuki.
Highest Wind Magic
Flying. Can generate storm and Multyple Tornado. generate thunder. If it enchant to weapon can make the razor.
Immune to a certain pervert but didn't want to become habit.
Interested to Akatsuki but much to Tsundere.
Highest Earth Magic
Create crater or a little bit quake. Can create 20 meter lion golem (and always sit at it's back).
Puppet
Create golem from someone hair (if Myuu's puppet then must Myuu's hair) and the owner of the hair can manipulate the puppet with magic and the puppet has the same strengh with the original. (Because Akatsuki cannot use magic so there are none of Akatsuki's puppet).
Immune to a certain perfert thing like naked and taking bath with Akatsuki normally without shy.
She consider Akatsuki as big brother figure and crying when Akatsuki down and nearly dead.
Highest Water Magic
Using water as arrow for shooting enemy. Make a flood to decrease the enemy mobility and wash the entire army with Tsunami. She also can make water dragon.
Hydrogen Bomb
Separate Hydrogen from water magic and compress them. if it release can make shockwave and if the another shockwave hit another can generate spark.
Oxygen Toxic
Separate Oxygen from water magic within an area and the people in that area become dizzy because of high condesation of Oxygen. Very efective for mage to make them cannot chant the magic.
Explotion
Using Hydrogen Bomb within Oxygen Toxic area. Because oxygen is burnable gas and with high condensation it will make gigantic explotion (to dangerous so she will not ever use it againt).
Immune to a certain pervert thing like naked and taking bath with Akatsuki normally without shy.
consider Akatsuki as interesting friend (because she lesbian)
Element Magic
Can use any high element magic but not higher than Haruka, Kuzuha, or Chikage.
Combination
Combine 2 or more element magic (something that anyone cannot archive) and create new type magic like Meteor Fall (Earth and Fire Magic) that create Meteor that even Akatsuki destroy with his strongest attack.
Immune to a certain pervert like waking Akatsuki sleep naked.
Always competitive with Myuu about Akatsuki's affection.
When the new hero intrude, they are still weak. Kuzuha, Chikage, and Haruka become stronger when come to Alezard and fighting against Alezard three Kingdom Alliance.
Kaido Motoharu still enigmatic. I consider him as Akatsuki rival that sometimes helping and sometimes hindering. Twilight Vermilion's spy. Has the same physical ability as Akatsuki (with normal Renkan Ki Kikou) with Chain magic as primary.
Guess Sandhy88 mistook Akatsuki's returning to Arezard for a teleportation ability.

Anyway, I was wondering how many people in the verse can defeat Ousawa in single combat.
Thank Ghanw for searching and compiling the summaries together.

When Babel detects a person returning from the other worlds they will (forcefully) recruit said person to become a student of their local Babel. When the students enter Babel they need to pass three tests: health test, norm check, and battle check. First and last is self explanatory, the norm check on the other hand is like a fortune telling ritual where Babel sorcerers would borrow the power from the 3 Norse goddesses Urd, Verdandi and Skuld to read 3 aspects of that person and reveal it in a 3 passage poem-like (ie the wordings are vague and not exact) prophecy. The prophecy is said to be highly accurate as it borrows the power from the goddesses and is trusted by Babel/COCOON.
Urd would reveal what the person did in the other world. It is here where Akatsuki was revealed to be the "true hero" which is a first in Babel history.
Verdandi would reveal what power/magic the person possess.
Skuld would reveal what the person would face in the future, this part is the least accurate as it is possible to change the future.

No idea, but only Nordic ones were mentioned.

Already answered in previous post. C&P:
A combination of Myuu's personal endorsement and his own power level was all that was necessary. It's not like even if anyone disagrees they could beat Akatsuki in a fight anyway.

All of his battles were off screen except one where he fought Zacks, which he took care of really quickly with his Mind Bind ability.
Back to Akatsuki's attire, looking at vol 9 illustrations Akatsuki is wearing his maou clothes. Did he bring back those clothes from Arrezard?
Not mentioned. Don't think the author thought it's important anyway.
Also, Myuu's armor is still that lingerie. Didn't it change when she went to Arrezard?
Again not mentioned, author probably didn't care either as he never really goes into detail describing Myuu's attire so it's probably just the illustrator having his fun.
Also sometimes what the illustrator draws doesn't match up with the novel's content, there's one picture in volume 9 which shows Listy wearing pyjamas with Haruka and Chikage but she should be wearing Akatsuki's shirt.
How did Myuu's and Listy's meeting with Gouki go?
Laid back, not really anything important except Gouki saw through that Myuu and Listy had love-related problems where they want to be friends but at the same time they also love the same guy and are rivals in a way.
What is Akatsuki's reputation among the students, particularly the girls?
Never described first hand, but according to Chikage he is very much admired for his strength and looks amongst the female students. Also because everyone else still thinks that Myuu is his sister so his fight with Zahark was misunderstood as him fighting to protect his little sister which won him even more brownie points amongst the girls as a caring big brother.
What is Akatsuki' relationship and history with the courtesan guild?
Akatsuki took a liking to Melissa's way of doing business (Melissa don't exploit her girls, she let them keep their money and she herself lives a very simple and basic life, thus Melissa gets all the hot girls working for her) and helped her fought off a rival guild which does underhanded practices. Also Melissa runs an operation based off her connection for information so it is useful for Akatsuki on that level as well.

While it's always possible but I really doubt it as the current setup really only focus on the real world and Arrezard, by the time the author goes through all the plot points that's already in the story now I think the series should be a wrap, the freshness of the series would be completely worn out by then and just pulling out more random strong enemy from other dimension would be a terrible way to run down the series.

Just a little speculation here. Considering the aspects of Hikami's plan, maybe this Plan Y involves using the power of Higher Dimensional Lifeforms to destroy the other worlds or Earth's connection with them. That or, more in line with their goal of bringing peace to Earth, to make a paradise out of Earth by destroying and rebuilding it.

Well Akatsuki haven't fought his brother or father yeah and the possibility of his dead sister coming back alive to be the last boss is there.

Do we know what would be the outcome on reviving a dead one? will they be the same or some else?

Doesn't seem to have any bad side effects to be honest. The Phoenix Cell even managed to revive Phil (which for all we know got chopped in half by Akatsuki in the form of Zahark). But then they've only revived bad/evil characters so far so can't say if the Phoenix Cell has any bad side effect mentally.
I thought Phil haven't appear since the so call revival.
So Phil show up again only to be beat 2nd time, how would he fight the MC since he doesn't even have Zahark power and why would they revive him?
houkoholic
2012-10-11, 08:33
Hikami revived Phil and Tanaka using the Phoenix Cell. They fought Tiana and Onizuka.
While Phil didn't have the power of Zahark he is still relatively strong (he had to be to be able to make a contract with Zahark in the first place, think about that), plus the Phoenix Cell gave them infinite healing ability which makes it quite hard to beat/kill them, and the only way to do it is to rip the Phoenix Cell out from their body.

Despite the grammar errors, it shed some light on things the anime just couldn't show. Besides, the book is always better when you are dealing with a two-faced character like Akatsuki. What he does and what he thinks are two different things.
By the way, although I can't read Japanese I don't mind spell checking or w/e. How do you sign up as an editor?
I much rather have grammar problems in a translation than none at all, and thanks to houkoholic for spoilers...

two-faced - marked by deliberate deceptiveness especially by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another
It usually has a negative connotation, but not always. With Akatsuki, he usually acts like a jerk or pervert to get what he sees as the best outcome for other people.

He kind of hates himself (because of Leon and his kid sister), so he purposely plays the bad guy because he doesn't believe he deserves to be a hero.

To be honest, I think Hagure Yuusha's biggest weakness is actually it's art. I don't think there's anything wrong with the artist in terms of skill, but the publishing company used the wrong artist. The style of the art is simply just wrong for a harem or romance series. The girls are either plain or ugly in my opinion. I think this is part of the reason why there's such a low anime sale. It would be a whole different story if someone like Miyama Zero was in charge of it. I know because at first when I saw the cover of the LN, I was turned away, and only read it later on because there was nothing else to read.Another flaw of the anime was the fact that it only covers up to twelve episodes(I'd say the most boring part of the series). If it covered the Otherworld arc, it would have been much interesting.
^ I actually completely disagree with you about the art. I love it and think it's appropriate for the comic. It has a serious, almost a very tiny bit of a "Lodoss" vibe to me. It's more "serious" than other art that has "cute" or "moe" designs, that's for sure.. The rugged style fits with the characters as well.. I'm trying to imagine SAO or Mahouka style art for this light novel and I'm not sure it works.. :heh:

Not much was told as it was just a mere footnote in the story - it's just said that when Akatsuki with Listy Zacks and Lu during their adventures were once asked to investigate some missing warriors at Black Mountain which is a place were all the demonic beasts - including Zahark which is king of all those beasts - lives. They didn't originally plan to fight Zahark at all but unfortunately still ran into it, exchange some blows and ran away, that was all.

Hikami was gauging the power level using Akatsuki and the others as a measure as he had to regulate how much of Myuu's power he can/should draw in fear of the system going rampage.
And then he lost. How many fights did Hikami fought against Akatsuki ?
houkoholic
2012-10-24, 05:13
About 3 times.
The first is when Hikami was slowly raising the power level to the point where he could actually overpower Akatsuki - at which point he was about 70% linked to the power from Myuu and the system, which was actually already more than what he wanted to use (IIRC he planned that 50% was the optimal number, 80% is the maximum safe limit, 90% is pushing the system).
However when he beat down Akatsuki it also lead to Akatsuki's "awakening" (of which Hikami speculated might be Akatsuki's conceptual ability - to project himself in ki) which then reversed the situation. Hikami wasn't able to do anything to Akatsuki's ki projection as said before since it's just Akatsuki's existence manifested in ki so Hikami was fighting pretty much a ghost which he can't kill, but at the same time using this skill would exhaust Akatsuki's own conscience (when in this form Akatsuki's physical body is actually unconscious, so you can sort of view it that his soul left his physical body and instead uses ki to form a temporary one which he controls) so it's a double edge sword.
That was when Myuu was able to reverse the flow of the energy into Hikami to below 50% and she also called out to Akatsuki to wake up, and with Akatsuki learning a few new methods of controlling his ki from when he was in his projection form (such as mixing Renkankekikou with the Absolute Barrier thus massively increasing his defence ability against powerful magic), and that was enough for Akatsuki to kill Hikami.

They were fighting in a reality bubble which Hikami created using Myuu's power where their conscience fight and any damage taken is then transferred to the physical body, this was because if they actually fought physically they would probably wipe out everything and destroy the system/kill Myuu. By the time Hikami realised what was really happening with Akatsuki's projection and cancels the reality bubble Myuu had called for Akatsuki to wake up.

Apparently it's an application of Renkankekiko along with the material arts which Grandsays created which in turn he taught Akatsuki.
I would imagine this would be how Grandsays would say it to Akatsuki - "When you can steal underwear from women undetected then you shall be able to attack your enemy's weak spot undetected!" :p

Being as strong and confident as she is she wasn't fazed a single bit, and we weren't even sure when she knew because of that, plus she appears to really only judge people on their individual merit anyway. Though when she met up with Gouki she did say to Gouki that she met his son and found Akatsuki while not currently up to snuff at the moment nevertheless found him interesting and having potential, and that she thinks that he's very similiar to Gouki (which Gouki denies, quite typically of this type of story) and just as a formality as the previous leader of the Scarlet Dusk as well as Akatsuki's parent she asked Gouki for permission to recruit Akatsuki if and when the opportunity comes, of which Gouki replied that Cecil can do whatever she likes as he's no longer the leader of Scarlet Dusk.
Akatsuki never found out about Cecil, he only got her name and knew she was very strong.

That's blatantly hentai. I can't even tell if it's soap or not.
I think it looks more like cream than soap
Should be soap, those tiles indicate that it's the bathroom, or so I hope, there's steam as well? If not, cleaning will be a pain.
It's slowly approaching (or has reached) the level of hentai, wouldn't surprised me if in Vol.11 there will be even more extreme illustrations.

I think that it's not because Akatsuki can't learn magic when he's in Alezard for the first time that he can't the second time. As long as he doesn't try to use it there no way we know if he can.

2012-11-18, 12:22
I actually finished volume 10 about a week ago but was too lazy to type the summary but here it is now. :heh:
Mostly a calm before storm volume.
A lot of new characters were introduced this time; mainly other COCOON members and a couple of new key players which would be assisting Akatsuki's group.
The story began with us being told that when Miu was still connected to the Babel's machine and still had control of her super powers her desire to protect Akatsuki and her friends had erected a special conceptual barrier around the man-made island which Japan Babel and the city around it is on. This special barrier only keeps hostile people from going in thus created a special little zone with some Akatsuki sympathisers beginning to travel and entering and living in this zone.
Since the other COCOON members aren't doing anything important so let's forget about them for the time being. The most important key player to assist Akatsuki is Arashinomiya Takako - she's the shadow controller of the Japanese economy and is super rich. Although she is old she uses a cyborg body of a young girl to appear in front of people (Akatsuki has no interest in her FWIW). She actually knew Akatsuki before he traveled to the other worlds and she actually supports him financially due to her losing a bet with Akatsuki (no detail of what that bet is). From the volume before because of Hikami's rebellion which revealed the Japanese government's secret development of the Phoenix Cells, plus the Japanese PM whom tried to cover this up with a failed nuke strike on Japan Babel COCOON has now taken over Japan and is going to dissolve the country. Takako's assets and influence is thus under threat so she's interested in perhaps assisting Akatsuki forming his own little "country" in that little zone. Upon meeting the group though she doesn't seem too pleased with the naivety of the girls and posed a challenged to the girls in order to gain her financial support - the challenge is that the girls must decide which one of the 5 of them is the most useless and that they must kill that girl. In the end with some smart tactics the girls managed to turned the table around and blacked mail Takako into submitting so that turned out alright.
The other key player is Kurono Ai. She uses special glasses forged from special material which is a replica a pair of magic glasses which gives her limited powers. It appears that she was a friend of a Scarlet Dusk member Mikagami Memeko who possess the original pair of the magical glasses. She asks Akatsuki to look for Memeko.
On the COCOON side the story was focused on Onizuka - now that he had completely fused with the Phoenix Cell he had gained a huge boost in super powers, and it seems COCOON is interested in swinging him to fight for them against Akatsuki.
Fthe last significant piece was the true story of the death of the real Miyu. It was told that Micheal Arkwood (I romanized as Edward before but now I think it should be this) whose real name is Ousawa Sakuya when transported to the other world not only went through some life altering traumas which turn his bright personality into much colder person, but he also suffered physical alterations as well - not only he got blond hair and golden eyes but he was actually turned into a vampire. Upon his return he became distant and focused all his time on COCOON (also Babel students aren't easily allowed to make contact with their "normal" family members), and that was when Miyu fell ill with an unknown disease. Akatsuki tried many times to contact Gouki and Sakuya at Babel (but he didn't know that Gouki had already left and formed Scarlet Dusk at that time) with no success, until one day when Miyu is getting really sick Sakuya appeared at the hospital to meet Akatsuki to tell him a plan he had formulated to save Miyu.
Basically Sakuya had originally worked hard to climb the ranks of COCOON hoping to use his power to bring in Miyu and use COCOON's technology (not open to the rest of the world) to save her, but this plan didn't go according to his plan because at that time he didn't have enough influence to bend the rules of allowing normal humans into COCOON. So his final last ditch plan was to use his vampire powers to turn Miyu into his vampire minion and thus bring her into COCOON as his minion and thus have access to all the medical technology to help her, but the catch is he would also need to wipe her memories in the process. Akatsuki is strongly against this plan and the two got into a fight. Finally, Miyu wanting to stop the two of them fighting over her committed suicide by jumping off the building in front of them. The story didn't stop there, several days later Miyu's body disappeared and the brothers found out it was Gouki who came and claim the body.
Finally Akatsuki and Motoharu fought off screen in a bet - Akatsuki won and thus Motoharu was ask to join Akatsuki's group for real and desert Scarlet Dusk. After the fight Cecil calls Motoharu and says she acknowledges this because while she knows that Motoharu is still technically stronger than Akatsuki she thinks that Motoharu lacks true passion and direction of his own, and that Motoharu doesn't feel strongly enough about Scarlet Dusk's goal thus without resolve he lost to Akatsuki. She thinks that Motoharu going with Akatsuki will make him become a more interesting man so she let him go and says she looks forward to meeting him again.
That's pretty much all the important stuff of volume 10, feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you so much for the summaries!!!!!! :) :) :)

Miyu not Myuu. houkoholic was referring to Akatsuki's actual blood-related sister who was human.
As for her body, the morgue I guess. It was only a few days after her death so there couldn't have been a funeral and her body couldn't have been buried.

A boring old sword. :)

Nothing really special - before Onizuka found out Tiana was a Scarlet Dusk member he just treated her well, and even after finding out Tiana was much stronger than he was he still stuck along with her and tried his best to help her out. Tiana also has a bottomless stomach and likes to eat all sorts of stuff and he even tried cooking for her etc while bad mouthing her. so Onizuka was basically being tsundere to Tiana, guess it works on girls too. :p

Eye Bind are actually invisible chains that's extremely tough. Simple is best. :)

Nobody in particular - just people whom had heard the broadcast of Hikami and Akatsuki's fight and agrees with Akatsuki.

houkoholic
2012-11-18, 20:04
Was there really that much of an uproar over it? How exactly did the public react?.
Not much at the moment as COCOON has their controlling hands on traditional media but information such as Hikami's initial broadcast and his conversation with Akatsuki is currently being archived and spread over the internet. Some no-name terrorist groups which were already against COCOON control uses this for propaganda.
On the other hand situation on the man-made island housing Japan BABEL and the city connected to BABEL and inside the barrier is a bit stickier due to the people having full grasp of the situation and has a much higher concentration of people with special abilities. In the beginning of the volume some BABEL students were trying to raid Akatsuki's house because they view that COCOON gives them special privileges, protection and purpose which they would otherwise not get.
Who is this Japanese PM and how exactly did he take over the country? Why would COCOON dissolve the country?
He's the democratically elected PM and actually Onizuka's father. COCOON doesn't usually go with brute force/military invasion and risk causing chaos especially over the G7 nations (not entirely sure which 7 but so far we know it is at least Japan, US, UK and China are members) but more like the master puppeteer influencing the national governments so that's why democratically elected presidents and PMs are still in place in those countries. However with the Japanese government having essentially declared treason/open war against COCOON when they secretly developed Phoenix Cell (other world technology are supposed to be all under COCOON management) and them trying to silence Hikami by nuking the island BABEL was built upon COCOON had to take over to stablise the situation to show themselves as the "good guys" by preventing anarchy and public uproar against the government's usage of nukes on civilians, but then they also play some hardball and show the other nations of the world that they do not tolerate traitors/enemies thus they dissolve the Japanese nation to clean the plates. This is not the first time COCOON had dissolve countries, apparently some of the middle-eastern countries had been dissolved by COCOON already in the name of peace and stability.

For those who don't necessarily agree with Akatsuki and aligns with COCOON but with the island isolated due to the barrier you have little choice but either leave the place which you called home or you find the person responsible for the situation and hopefully hand him over to COCOON and hope the situation would return to what it was, if you pick the later naturally you'll raid his place.
About COCOON, what's so bad about them anyways?
They are fairly grey anyway so it's hard to say. The worst thing though I guess is that they forcefully take in people who return from the other worlds and essentially train them up to be soldiers which they deploy against nations who go against their rules, in that sense they are sort of evil.
Whose the black guy with the little kid in one of the Volume 10 illustrations?
The new COCOON members introduced. They haven't done anything worthwhile in this volume except making an entrance so forget about them.

She felt left out and useless because in the last few battles she didn't do anything important, plus she thinks that Akatsuki only look upon her as a child, but like the other girls she had started to develop feelings towards him thus she is troubled by this speculation since she fears that she's not even on equal footing as the other girls. So to test her theory she sneaked into Akatsuki's bed when he was sleeping and kissed him on his lips but got no reaction from Akatsuki which further re-enforces her speculation.
Later in the novel after she revealed her worries to Akatsuki he proved to her that what he really thinks of her by his "usual methods" - ok not THE usual method because he didn't grope her and get her off or anything like that but he did gave her a deep French kiss. :uhoh:
@houkoholic Thanks for the summary.

Because I really have to say Akatsuki doesn't have the moral leg to stand upon and blame others. His brother's plan may have not been all that nice, but considering it was a last resort and Akatsuki had nothing.....Even the bit with Gouki is a misunderstanding of sorts, although I can see how it got to that point.
I mean, either one(especially Gouki) deserve a family beatdown, but not for "their part" in the sister's suicide. They deserve it for going off and generally being assholes.

How was akatsuki's sister's story said? Was it told by akatsuki to the girls or was it a recollection? If it was narrated by akatsuki what was the situation that made him tell the story?
That was Myuu apologizing to Akatsuki after listening to his story of how the real Miu died because she realised that Akatsuki had at least projected some of Miu onto her (including the regrets that he couldn't save and protect her) and the many times before she tried to throw her own life away like Miu did (especially the time when Myuu jumped off the cliff when Phil was chasing them) which must have triggered those painful memories for Akatsuki.
Akatsuki did shrink - it's a side effect of him using too much Renkankeikikou so the body physically shrinks to a size where it doesn't require as much ki to maintain his body functions until the body's ki reserves are fully replenished. In this state a secondary personality with its own memories and mental age suitable to the age appearance of the body (so that of roughly a six/seven year old) also surfaces to take control of the body while the primary personality (the normal 16 year old Akatsuki) resides in the background but fully aware of the situation. Since this happen after Kuzuha kissed Akatsuki it led to Kuzuha thinking that it was her fault.
The bathroom scene is when Myuu Listy and Haruka took the shrunk Akatsuki for a bath, let's just say some of the habits from the primary personality don't go away even with the secondary child personality in control, or maybe that's just animal instinct in every male's DNA upon seeing a nice pair of boobies and lots of naked bodies of pretty girls. ;)
I guess if you speak in very general terms, COCOON's goal is making a world with peace and absolute order free of pain and suffering but with misguided totalitarian methods, quite typical of your RPG antagonist.
The story of the death of the real Miu was told by Akatsuki to the girls, he had decided to tell them the full story since last volume when the girls had professed their determination to follow him so he knows that he owns them the real story.
Is that really all there is to the whole backstory with Akatsuki's sister?
Because I really have to say Akatsuki doesn't have the moral leg to stand upon and blame others. His brother's plan may have not been all that nice, but considering it was a last resort and Akatsuki had nothing.....Even the bit with Gouki is a misunderstanding of sorts, although I can see how it got to that point.
The part about needing to wipe Miu's memory was pretty selfish on Sakuya's part because it was only to protect his identity as a vampire and his potential position as the leader of COCOON (all COCOON members adopts an alias to protect their real identity, not even fellow COCOON members knows each other's real name), also in the process Sakuya would also wipe Akatsuki's memory as well which means he would no longer remember his sister nor Miu remember him. The dilemma is there.

Some left, some stayed. Not everyone is going to converge on the same conclusion or the same plan for the future, that much should be obvious.

Yes Myuu has currently has no control over the barrier, they don't even know how long it would last. Most of the unimportant people still don't know about Myuu's true identity, but it's safe to say for those which matter, like COCOON and Scarlet Dusk, knows.

Back to Hikami's fight with Akatsuki, could Akatsuki project his sword in ki too or was it just his body?
I understand Akatsuki had the advantage what with Hikami being unable to touch him and Akatsuki being able to hit Hikami, but how was that advantageous considering Hikami's hax regenerative abilities you described? You mentioned that Akatsuki combined his ki barrier with his absolute barrier. Could you give an example of just how powerful this defense was?

I guess it wasn't completely correct. But if you really want to talk about something they achieved this volume they did hold off the raiders when Akatsuki was still trapped in his younger form and won over Takako.
Just how did the girls blackmail the richest woman in Japan and where was Akatsuki when she told the girls to kill the most useless one? Has it been explained why she uses a cyber body to interact?
They tricked her into revealing that she had always preferred to continuing to provide assistant to Akatsuki over COCOON, recorded the conversation and threaten to reveal the message which would mean she had no other place to go to because once COCOON learns of this they would not trust her. Also the girls figured that it was Takako whom was in the more desperate situation with the dissolving of Japan but she just bluffed her first hand.
Akatsuki was forbidden by Takako to help or even know the nature of the challenge, plus he trusted them to win so he took the time instead to find Motoharu.
Takako has companies involved in developing cyborg technology, apparently this is one of the first usable prototypes so she's test driving it herself. Of course there are advantages to this too because then she won't have to show her real face in front of people thus keeping her identity safe. Akatsuki was instantly able to recognise her only due to his ability to read her ki signature.
Back to Hikami's fight with Akatsuki, could Akatsuki project his sword in ki too or was it just his body?
Just his body.
I understand Akatsuki had the advantage what with Hikami being unable to touch him and Akatsuki being able to hit Hikami, but how was that advantageous considering Hikami's hax regenerative abilities you described?
He can cause so much damage that was overwhelming to the regenerative abilities. Plus Hikami would still die if he gets decapitated or chopped in half for example, it just seems that most stab and cut wounds fatal to normal humans aren't fatal that's all.
You mentioned that Akatsuki combined his ki barrier with his absolute barrier. Could you give an example of just how powerful this defense was?
Remember that ice column Hikami used on Tanaka? Originally his ice magic "only" allows him to create cold air that is almost at Absolute Zero temperature, but with the extra power he can disregard physical laws and use cold air that is beyond Absolute Zero. He used the souped up ice column to freeze Akatsuki but it has no effect on him.
In the anime, Sakuya mentioned that Hikami could have taken out Zahak using BABEL's lights. Was it ever said what that was?
Basically a really big ass laser. Hikami used it to shoot down the nukes that were targeting the island.
Who is Kobato? What happen to the rest of the members of the student council beside haruka after the fight between akatsuki and hikami?
Kobota the old man/professor/technician who gave Akatsuki the bike and developed the systems and AD and stuff.
The rest of the student council members disappeared.

About Leon:
I understand Akatsuki let Leon stab him when they fought as payback, but was Akatsuki really struggling against him? I mean Akatsuki defeated Zahak and took his powers so I thought Leon would've been a cakewalk.
About Gouki:
Could you explain the Ousawa family history concerning Gouki? Someone else posted that Gouki was a regular dad until he was taken to another world. He got more power than usual and started Scarlet Dusk.
You posted that COCOON has the phoenix cells AKA Onizuka. Does that mean Onizuka is outside of the conceptual barrier surrounding BABEL? If they have Onizuka and Tiana is with Onizuka then what's gonna happen to her considering she's a member of Scarlet Dusk?

Who was that woman in the lab coat with Takako and that guy in the lab coat with Sakuya in volume 10?
The woman with Takako is Kurono Ai.
The other guy with Sakuya is another one of the COCOON members whom hasn't done anything.
About Leon:
I understand Akatsuki let Leon stab him when they fought as payback, but was Akatsuki really struggling against him? I mean Akatsuki defeated Zahak and took his powers so I thought Leon would've been a cakewalk.
As Leon is a zombie his ki is slightly different than normal humans and contains "death" in it, which adversely affects Akatsuki whenever he makes contacts with Leon as that is essentially bringing "death" upon himself. Also Leon is strong you have to remember he was the previous yuusha.
And with Zahark it was actually weakened because it fused with Phil. Akatsuki said that Phil Zahark was less than half as strong as the original.
Could you explain the Ousawa family history concerning Gouki? Someone else posted that Gouki was a regular dad until he was taken to another world. He got more power than usual and started Scarlet Dusk.
Yeah he's just a normal human like the others until he got transported to the other world. He seems to be a very nice dad until he came back and just disappeared for unknown reasons yet.
You posted that COCOON has the phoenix cells AKA Onizuka. Does that mean Onizuka is outside of the conceptual barrier surrounding BABEL? If they have Onizuka and Tiana is with Onizuka then what's gonna happen to her considering she's a member of Scarlet Dusk?
Onizuka was taken to UK where Sakuya and COCOON HQ is. Tiana is taken prisoner and they put a collar around her which prevents her from using her magic and conceptual ability. COCOON otherwise lets them roam fairly freely inside their HQ and as said before they are interested in swaying Onizuka to fight for them (and would probably use Tiana as bargaining chip/hostage when push comes to shove, though right now they are playing nice and egging Onizuka on by saying that it is now his turn to protect Tiana etc).

Yeah, same here. I'm seriously yearning for more OP harem MC like Akatsuki (I'm getting tired seeing beta-type harem MC that gets the girls simply because he's a nice guy). It's very refreshing to see a MC in harem story that is clearly dominating his harem not giving any crap.

Takako has companies involved in developing cyborg technology, apparently this is one of the first usable prototypes so she's test driving it herself. Of course there are advantages to this too because then she won't have to show her real face in front of people thus keeping her identity safe. Akatsuki was instantly able to recognise her only due to his ability to read her ki signature.
Only her ki signature, what about the fact that the cyborg was a little girl in a wheel chair when Takako was supposed to be an elderly woman? And why was the cyborg in a wheelchair?
In your summary of volume 10 , Cecil said that Motoharu is stronger than Akatsuki, but does this evaluation take into account the new abilities Akatsuki developed in his fight against Hikami?
What was Akatsuki doing when Hikami kidnapped Myuu?
How did Hikami obtain the phoenix cells and why did he waste them on Tanaka and Phil? There was a corpse of Phil left over from his fight with Akatsuki?
You once posted that Sakuya flew down to Japan to kill Hikami for disconnecting BABEL. Why didn't he fight Hikami instead of Akatsuki? Air traffic?
Concerning your post in response to Hikami's hax regeneratice abilities, just how strong is Akatsuki physically? I recall an illustration during the Phil arc where he seemingly blew a hole in a cliff or reef during the exam. I Was there any instance in which Akatsuki grew physically stronger? I was under the impression that he was using Renkankeikikou to increase his strength, but there were limits to how much. Are kids returning from another world physically stronger?
When did the girls move in with Akatsuki and under what pretext? Also, you mentioned in that Haruka was willing to do what he said in a bathroom. Just how submissive is she? Is she tsundere? Does she complain or does she just do whatever he says without a word of complaint?
I just finished the anime and it covers up to vol3 right? I should read summaries from vol4 onwards to know everything that happens after in the anime right?

The body is fairly new and only recently completed, and the last time Akatsuki had met Takako (before he was transported to Alezzard) she wasn't using one. So Akatsuki said that even though Takako has an appearance of a little girl her ki inside was of an old woman, this discrepancy was what tipped him off.
As for the wheelchair the syncing isn't quite perfect yet so mobility isn't top notch.
In your summary of volume 10 , Cecil said that Motoharu is stronger than Akatsuki, but does this evaluation take into account the new abilities Akatsuki developed in his fight against Hikami?
Apparently so. Memeko with the real magic glasses has huge observation ability which seems to transcend great distance so I doubt that Cecil wouldn't have known if she wanted to.
What was Akatsuki doing when Hikami kidnapped Myuu?
Shopping for stuff for Listy and Myuu.
How did Hikami obtain the phoenix cells and why did he waste them on Tanaka and Phil? There was a corpse of Phil left over from his fight with Akatsuki?
He got in bed with the Japanese government by providing them with materials and data from Zahark and worked behind COCOON. The problem with the Phoenix Cell is that thus far it didn't work on live people (Onizuka was the first successful case) plus with the machine it was better off for him to get Myuu before COCOON first. The fact that Phil came back can only mean there was a corpse.
You once posted that Sakuya flew down to Japan to kill Hikami for disconnecting BABEL. Why didn't he fight Hikami instead of Akatsuki? Air traffic?
Pretty much. Plus he prioritized for the recovery of the Phoenix Cell.
Concerning your post in response to Hikami's hax regeneratice abilities, just how strong is Akatsuki physically? I recall an illustration during the Phil arc where he seemingly blew a hole in a cliff or reef during the exam. I Was there any instance in which Akatsuki grew physically stronger? I was under the impression that he was using Renkankeikikou to increase his strength, but there were limits to how much. Are kids returning from another world physically stronger?
No it seems that it is all due to Renkankeikikou in Akatsuki's case. For the other students we don't know for sure but it doesn't appear to be the case. I would guess it is a case by case thing where it depends on whether they got physically altered similar to Sakuya then they might be able to get superhuman strength like Tiana.
When did the girls move in with Akatsuki and under what pretext? Also, you mentioned in that Haruka was willing to do what he said in a bathroom. Just how submissive is she? Is she tsundere? Does she complain or does she just do whatever he says without a word of complaint?
After fighting Hikami they decided it was safer to live together under one roof so they can look out for each other.
Obviously Haruka was a tsundere before but now she's just pure submissive deredere, so much so that now when Akatsuki gropes her they will just get it on.
So when Miu erected the barrier to prevent hostile people from getting in, what happen to the hostile people that was already in the barrier, do they automaticly teleport them out?

Nope they are still inside, also why the raiders can raid their place etc. Hence the need for the girls and Akatsuki to stick together too.
Another when you said isolated islands, does that COCOON have prevent transport of goods from getting to the island?
Yes they have, COCOON had asked people to leave the island themselves and they would take the refugees in and relocate them to other COCOON territories, though the island seems to have a certain degree of self-sustainability such that there's a good portion of them still living there comfortably enough but otherwise they would eventually still need some supplies in the future if the number of Akatsuki supporters is the grow explosively and decides to take refuge on the island, hence the need to get support from Takako.

How exactly was the barrier discovered and how did COCOON realize it was meant to protect Akatsuki and his harem? I mean, its invisible right? I can't help but imagine that they found out the hard way? Like a COCOON agent trying to get in by plane ended up splattered against his seat?
I don't understand how the barrier could prevent supplies from getting in. I mean, inanimate objects could get in and the grunts of COCOON don't hold a grudge against Akatsuki so one of them could be the driver.
About Tanaka and Phil, when they were resurrected by the Phoenix cells did their consciousness return or were they mindless zombies? If they weren't then why did they agree to be Hikami's lackeys? I can see Phil, but Tanaka?

I would think COCOON would have tried to send in a land task force to reclaim BABEL and found out they can't get in. Also I think people with higher capabilities can sense the presence of the barrier as well, Akatsuki seems to be able to tell so....
I don't understand how the barrier could prevent supplies from getting in. I mean, inanimate objects could get in and the grunts of COCOON don't hold a grudge against Akatsuki so one of them could be the driver.
COCOON now official has controls of Japan in place of the Japanese government and all of its branches, they can just cut off supply chains and setup barricades. Any other supplies and Akatsuki supporters would have to be smuggled in.
About Tanaka and Phil, when they were resurrected by the Phoenix cells did their consciousness return or were they mindless zombies? If they weren't then why did they agree to be Hikami's lackeys? I can see Phil, but Tanaka?
They have their consciousness and memories intact.
Phil lost Zahark from his body so he really doesn't have anywhere else to go (he can't go back to Alezzard metaphysically nor he has any reason to now that he failed) so it's reasonable for him to comply. As for Tanaka I guess it won't be hard for Hikami to simply threaten him considering how Tiana easily managed to kill him (by knocking him out then rip out the Phoenix Cell from his body), Hikami can simply say "if you don't work for me I'll simply make you dead again", having died once already I would think Tanaka would actually value his second chance at life and comply quite easily.

@houkoholic: Concerning Sakuya and as one whose read the raw of volume 10, what was Sakuya reaction when Miyu killed herself and do you believe that he gave a rat's ass about her to begin with?

Those glyphs in the anime? Just visual effect, no meaning to it.
In the novel when Akatsuki uses Renkankeikikou he gives off a blue glow, but that won't look cool in anime form so they change it to glyphs.
@houkoholic: Concerning Sakuya and as one whose read the raw of volume 10, what was Sakuya reaction when Miyu killed herself and do you believe that he gave a rat's ass about her to begin with?
Obviously he does care about Miyu, otherwise he wouldn't have came up with the plan in the first place and could just let her die.
BTW, is Akatsuki's ki projection of himself restrained by gravity? Can it fly?
No idea.
If Akatuski's body had a blue glow around him in the anime he would be a supersayien. (No wonder why Akatuski is so strong)

How did Akatsuki beat Zahark three times in simulations? He didn't have access to the second stage of his sword did he? It looked like he had a hard time with his basic sword.
What happened to Phil's phoenix cells?

Has there been an explanation for why it strips girls?

No, they were used by Hikami, otherwise the PM wouldn't have resorted to nuke JP BABEL as the last resort if they knew earlier.
How did Akatsuki beat Zahark three times in simulations? He didn't have access to the second stage of his sword did he? It looked like he had a hard time with his basic sword.
They are just clones/programs based on the Phil Zahark ie not full power Zahark. Also he was already much more powerful (he learnt to enter the Zone which he didn't knew when fighting Phil) than when he fought Phil Zahark plus he wasn't poisoned etc.
What happened to Phil's phoenix cells?
Already answered before: Tiana took both Phil and Tanaka's Phoenix Cell and used them all on Onizuka.
Concerning Sleipnir:
When Akatsuki went back to Arrezard, did he take it with him and has it ever stripped another girl besides Haruka?
Answered before again - he didn't take Sleipnir with him.
And no Sleipnir hadn't stripped anyone else.
Has there been an explanation for why it strips girls?
Only Haruka. Akatsuki speculated that it is because Sleipnir was just being in a state of excitement for finally finding a new owner that day.
About Akatsuki's sword, how could an AD manifest a god's weapon? I mean, I assume the real one is out there somewhere.
As said before Haruka doesn't think it is really god's weapon but just a coincidence. Plus we aren't near far enough into the story to know about its secrets anyway, I would think the author won't get into the story of the sword until it's time to pave the way to unlock its final stage.

@houkoholic: Do you believe that Akatsuki's Renkankeikikou's application of absorbing the abilities of those killed by it may also apply to conceptual abilities?
No. As I see it Renkankeikikou's already boarding on Deus Ex Machina and in some cases the author's already pulled enough BS explanations by saying "oh because of Renkankeikikou Akatsuki can do this and this" such as explaining away how he can heal himself or take the Absolute Barrier or invoke the Zone or make ki projection of himself or even sticking vertically on the wall and getting the girls to climax all simply because of Renkankeikikou, so there's no point for Akatsuki to keep absorbing more and more abilities as he, IMO, already HAS the ULTIMATE ability of all.

^Really? I found those explanations quite plausible and his new abilities make up for his lack of magic. Also, his ki projection doesn't seem that great considering that it leaves his physical body vulnerable.
BTW, how did the girls react to the mini Akatsuki? Did they go all shotacon on him? And how did they ever find out why Akatsuki went all chibi?
Also, what happened to the raiders? Did Akatsuki recover and blast them away or did the harem deal with it before he recovered?

He already makes up for his lack of magic with room to spare. I always thought magic was just unnecessary for his character. He still has plenty of room for growth with his ki attacks, and his own conceptual ability to develop(assuming that ki projection thing wasn't it).
If he truly hits the limits of reikankikikou(that the right sp?) then I wouldn't mind so much, although that seems extremely unlikely. After all, his master is probably way beyond anyone in the series with just that.
Btw, does Akatsuki's little island have one of those portals Cocoon used to go to different worlds? Or was that accomplished through something else?
houkoholic
2012-12-03, 00:52
It's internally consistent in the story but it's already too convenient such that you can always expect that when Akatsuki gets in a tight corner it's going to be some functionality or utility of Renkankeikikou that would save Akatsuki at the end of the day, because of this quality I really don't think he needs any more abilities or to absorb more from others. Also I'm certain that Akatsuki will perfect his ki projection later on anyway, it's obvious to me what he did against Hikami is only the beginning to something bigger.
The girls did go all HNG on shouta Akatsuki. Listy knew that Akatsuki would shrink due to overuse of Renkankeikikou as she saw it once back at Alezzard though she didn't know that it could go to this degree of age reversing (see this is also what I meant by too convenient when it comes to things related to Renkankeikikou).
Akatsuki took care of the raiders but no detail was given.
Btw, does Akatsuki's little island have one of those portals Cocoon used to go to different worlds? Or was that accomplished through something else?
Haven't been dealt with in the story. Actually I'm rather puzzled about how some of the members of either Cocoon and Scarlet Dusk gets transported to other worlds more than once to obtain their power boost/conceptual ability in the first place, smells like some bigger conspiracy underneath.

Doubt they'll be a second season unless it was already green lit and funded pre-frist season, blu-ray sales where pretty poor and the light novels didn't get a sales boost either.

I agree with you there its why it was so good the ironic part is its pretty much one of those shows where 12 episodes isn't enough enjoyable material from an action sense I mean really the only real action in the series was the Phil battle. the cockatrice was boring and everything else was blatant fanservice. If it was 26 episodes it will easily be renewed its a lot like campione and Code:breaker 12 episodes isn't enough time to get into the show
YEAH MORE DOG DAYS! WOOOOOOOO. Hagure is pretty generic when they made it to the anime. Other than the MC not being dull minded or weak. It was teased, but at this rate it probably won't happen. Its like how Ichiban had teased a S2 that never happened either. Anime is about money. Total Eclipse and DxD were popular enough and BDs sold well that both the series got a second season. Rank 16 is pretty bad especially with a ecchi series.

Didn't expect the author to jump 2 years so soon and with Akatsuki and gang successfully setting up their own nation, this is surprising in a good way as I was actually expecting more fights. And damn Chikage grew out her hair and is now a hot lady different from her previous tomboy look. :eek: I wonder how much Kuzuha would change too.
Also Onizuka seems to have mastered his abilities gained from the Phoenix Cell as well as having some very special conceptual ability to boot - strong enough to torch super-dimensional life forms into ash. As from vol. 10 we knew COCOON was conditioning Onizuka to be their anti-Akatsuki weapon so if Onizuka is getting prepped that can only mean COCOON is going to declare full on war on Noah soon.....

This includes healing others and himself by stimulating ki, manipulating his ki to eject poison, enhancing his strength to superhuman levels by raising his ki, creating a ki barrier to block magic, a getsuga tenshou with his AD sword Levaeteinn, which has stronger forms, sharing a person's ki with others in order to teleport them to another world, focusing ki in parts like his arm to enhonce his strength even further and his brain to enter the zone, and, best of all, absorbing the abilities of anything he kills by absorbing its ki. Note that this does not not include magical abilities since the novel makes it clear that he couldn't cast magic to save his life.
He absorbed an evil dragon's physical strength, tough skin, poison, and it's Absolute Barrier, which only conceptual abilities could penetrate. He later learned how to combine his Absolute Barrier and ki barrier to create a defense that not even below absolute zero temperatures induced by the conceptual ability of a god-like Hikami could penetrate.
During that same battle, he learned how to create a ki projection of himself, not including his sword. Basically since he's made of ki, he can't be hurt by physical attacks, but since he can control his ki he can hurt his opponents. So it's a 'I can hurt you, but you can't hurt me' sort of deal. However, his real body is left vacant and vulnerable and he can't maintain his projection for long or else he might make a mistake and cease to exist. Hikami theorized that this may have been his conceptual ability.

hey guys,in this moment of the LN whom(what girls)are in love with the MC?
Too many to count. :D
But if you are only counting the "active" harem members - Myuu, Listy, Haruka, Kuzuha and Chikage.
I really should get back to reading volume 11, but the time skip and the sudden shift of focus on the new girl kinda threw me off the mood and I never got back into it.
