That was no accidental little forehead bump. It looks like Blade made good on that demand to take a nap together. Poor Cruz.
Also, Arka and Cruz had a 'matched set' of stigmata. While it was generally expected that it would be the case, at least to me, it felt good to finally guess something half way right in this manga for once.
I did find it interesting that the stigmata appeared on the back of the hand rather than the palm, though. Not sure why I was expecting it to be, however, now that I think about it. Just because that's where Mengroze had it burned?
We even got a few gag reaction panels out of it. A great way to head into the home stretch. But, I keep looking back to that page in chapter 50, and thinking it won't be a completely happy ending for Team Blade. Who knows, though. Maybe Imai Kami will just end it here and make the whole last volume gag 4 koma.
Also, while I'm thinking about it, it was also kind of interesting that Saten, the character to whom I attributed to know pretty much everything and to have planned ahead, doesn't seem to have suspected Yamada as having the final piece of the puzzle. Seriously? I guess that rules out one reason he might have been looking out for him, but that just makes more questions than answers to me. Unless something changes for him and Gido soon (and it certainly could), Saten has made some serious miscalculations in his end game.
