What Keima said about Chihiro is pretty much right. Her reactions are kinda obvious.
And Ayumi's are, too, plus the "-kun" and the fact that she didn't snap at being called by her first name. Good chapter, can't wait for next one. It's getting really interesting. Also, I totally share pain for both sides. Keima for being mistreated to this extent although he had good reasons for his actions, and the goddess girls who feel they were played around with.

Just read; so now Keima has to face the repercussions of his past conquests.
Oh, this gonna be good. :3 I noticed on the last page with all the girls lined-up, the younger Kusunoki and and Mio were blacked out, and Tenri and Kanon had halos; So that makes two Goddesses confirmed, and Two girls out. I have a feeling this arc is one going to take a while; once they are all rounded-up though, I don't have a clue where they're are going to take this story; are the days of Keima's capturing soon to be over? |

As for their likelihood, I get the feeling that he'll end up with both of them on his "no goddess" list for one reason or another as he'll have to end up saving Kanon/Apollo another way, but one of the two will be confirmed as a goddess to the audience. My guess is Chihiro (as Minerva), who we find out is angry at Keima not for two-timing on her or due to her own love for him (although there's certainly some of that) but because of his actions in light of the feelings she's determined her best friend Ayumi has for him. Ayumi is just too obvious to have a goddess...

I thought Elsie and Haqua measurement (3 size) not that different, but why... (Haqua T.T)
This chapter kinda weak for me, Keima calculation seems not as bright as usual and kinda forced. And, Keima not knowing that the girls feeling stay even if their memory erased, so he don't factor it in his planning. I wonder if this will make his plan not go as smooth as he think. This is still step 1 of his plan though, so I hope he will immediately commence step 2 (after meet all the girls in the school). In her capture, Keima made Chihiro pour hot coffee to Yuta-kun, and now Chihiro do the same to Keima (twice), is Chihiro capturing Keima now? Her cold, expressionless face said she's angry though. Also, Chihiro usually active gossiping with her friends, but look at her now, stay silence and not joining the chit chat. And she looks kinda lonely. Just me thinking too much, I guess. Ayumi kicks Keima while smiling, kinda expected that. Nothing new. In the last part where Nikaido step on Keima, wouldn't Keima able to see her panties? She doesn't seem to care though.

And yeah, that makes sense. I guess we'll just have to see what Keima means with his vague hypothesis, it's not like he doesn't expect that he might actually be wrong, he just doesn't have another way to handle this for now than follow his rather simple gaming rules.

What a mind-wrenching chapter! I've always thought of Chihiro as the simplest girl in the kaminomi universe, so her actions strike as weirder than usual, BUT Keima did ask about them kissing and stuff, which could have stirred up a normal Chihiro, although that doesn't eliminate the possibility of a godess in her...aaaargh gotta read the next one!!!

I'm going to take a guess that Ayumi and Chihiro neither have a goddess. We've seen all manga long something that Keima hasn't. That all the girls still react in some way to his presence. Mio did and Kusunoki did too but in Keima's mind they are ruled out. Honestly next chapter I want to see Kusunoki give him the same treatment as Ayumi and Chihiro and force him to reconsider his idea.
The one thing I like about this chapter was the idea that the Goddesses purposely stayed together as much as possible when choosing their hosts. I wonder where Kanon lived 10 years ago in relation to Keima and Tenri.

If the properties (off the top of my head, that's sorta relevant) of the goddesses indicate anything about their hosts; which could be a stretch (for all we know Jupiter Daughter's could refer to the descendant of Jupiter and it could be a mother figure to the goddesses than a male figure); without trying to go to far in other regional beliefs outside roman core myth that involve these gods often in different contexts (such as Celtic): [You can probably google this, and find better source information than my off hand memory] Apollo - Music, poetry, arts, health, healing, Light Diana - Hunting, Moon, Darkness, Childbirth, "Fate" Vulcan - Fire, Smith/Forging (Arms/Armor), Jewelry, Art, Lighting Mercury - Trade, Currency, Merchandise, Mars - War, Fertility, Vegetation, Cattle, Combat Minerva -... Alot; mostly wisdom, war, trade, education, and something else. I want to say prophecy but I'm not sure if that's just my recent completion of AC2 screwing with my memory Kanon hits Apollo on the spot, but Tenri is a bit of a toss up given Diana who is (unless I'm mistaken) main attribute is wisdom or something of the nature but then again of (not that this says much) the goddesses we've seen Diana seems to be the most capable to defend herself and has good instincts such as relying on Keima during her initial chapters. Assuming there is no figurehead role outside of the six sisters, and there is no "Well you didn't ask" situations; Vulcan is probably the most likely role given what the author based his work off thus far, but like I said this being a fictional work Vulcan could end up being the ditz or airhead of them all if the author is so inclined. With all that said, @119 I like mostly the little plot point where Keima believes that something else is forcing them to gather to him. |

Based on those characteristics some girls make obvious choices. Although some gut intuition is fine too.
Mercury - Ayumi or Sumire. Sumire owns a ramen shop and Ayumi is really fast, (Which is all people remember Mercury (Or Hermes in the Greek version) for anyway). Mars - Kusunoki. Kinda obvious previous chapter indications be damned. Minerva - I'd say either Shiori or Jun. No idea for Vulcan, though Chihiro might fit.

Keima shouldn't black out Mio and Kusunoki so soon without meeting them again. Who knows when he meet Kusunoki, Kusunoki will ask his promise about explaining what happen in Hinoki arc? Or Mio whipping him for jealousy, just like Ayumi and Chihiro did? Just a hope though, Keima may won't even bother to search for them.

That's one thing that really bothers me.
Both Mio and Kusunoki are blacked out, but the thing is, Kanon didn't have memories of him either. Not until after she met him for the second time. For Kanon it was capture ----- No memories ------- Group Study/ He seems familiar -- Begins to remember shortly after, Apollo awakens ------- Recent events For Mio, so far, its Capture -------- No memories ----- Met Yui!Keima ------- ???? Kusunoki is, Capture ------ No memories ------ Met again during Aneue capture ----- ????

Goddesses don't have Weiss, if Diana's any indication. They just pretended to and released their own captive Weiss to trick the demons. So if any of them manifested magic powers or anything it'd have to come from the goddess rather than a Weiss.

omg the page (5 or 6 depending where u have the creditpage) where Keima explains why he thinks the goddess are within his captures, i laughed so hard
Oh and according to Keima's theory, Hacchan should also be the host of a goddess D::::::: but y, keima just mistakes jealousy for hosting a goddess lolz, i mean, if the other girls'd seen that scene, who aren't in his class, they'd act exactly the same ^_- And Haqua confirmed it Spoiler:

Like you pointed out, chances are Mio (if she had a goddess) would have recalled something if not everything if it was Keima actual physical self rather than being in Yui's body. It seemed pretty likely that the author is planning something with Mio with the last few scenes we see from her, and I'm betting she's Mercury; especially with her talk of restoring her fathers company. As for Kusunoki, looking at it while Keima was physically involved he only confirmed that her memories were a bit off (the same logic he ruled Mio out); but it's not like he started hitting on Kusonoki or focused on her, rather he pushed her away as he focused on her sister Hinoki. Additionally, story wise from our perspective Keima doesn't exactly know if a Goddess has been awakened or not or if they require a trigger. Kanon says when Apollo appeared she was able to remember slowly remember their former memories meaning Kanon had a period of time were she didn't remember anything, but Keima believes that the goddesses are all already awakened and just hiding and the hosts remember everything. So whose to say if Keima passes a check twice because he's trying to force things by his own understanding. Regardless, unless the author wants to push towards to the next arc and end goddess hunting (the story still has unresolved elements to flesh out even after the goddesses have been established, so even if Keima catches them all I dont think things will go smoothly as he hopes). |
