(L) UQ Holder (Ken Akamatsu's new series)

[cyberdemon]

i wonder if we will ever see Shinobu again. Maybe she'll be used to really show Touta the affects of aging to an immortal. Like he keeps running into her and it shows her getting older and older while he remains the same as when thy first met.

I like how Kuromaru immediately thought of gold digging once he heard that the loli was rich. The suffering from guilt seen was great

Possibly. I wish I had saved it (I still mess up like that), but I saw some image with the Lucky Star girls in hats, and the pink haired girl with glasses looked a lot like Kirie.

Otherwise, Shinobu was just a pretty random character, conveniently designed to look like Shinobu from Love Hina. Well, it wouldn't be the first time Akamatsu-sensei has introduced a character, then went nowhere with them.

Don't you think that kind of immortality is too dull for someone who is in the numbers? Can there not be some kind of amazing feature in it?

[Tenzen12]

I am pretty sure immortality is not only aspect that makes numbers. Power and skills are probably also included (In numbers were even that marmaid eating guy, remember?)

[chaosprophet]

Jinbee was also included in chapter 6 when Evangeline was telling Touta about those who were really "invincible" (不死身) different from those who came to pick her up. So far all the numbers were people who were in Evangeline description. So my guess that is what decides if someone can be considered a number or not.

Depends on how it works. Does it transport her or does it actually rewind time? Are there other limitations to it besides having to make that magic circle? It's too early to tell.

[Breimoon]

the best way to win against save point would be using a trap that activates as soon as the save is made and that is unavoidable.Kinda hard with high level people protecting

[Tenzen12]

It also depend if she have only one save point or more

YES! That is what really makes me curious, the previous series a.k.a. MSN shows that events in the time line can be changed.

My curiousity is whether those save points can do similar feat as the movie 'Next(2007)':

Rewinding time? Did anyone mention "All you need is kill" yet?

This may explain why she makes so much money. If she rewinds time she can adjust stocks, make bets, or even play the lottery and make massive amounts of cash.

Spoiler for save point girl:

Chisame, Not sure why cause they seem very different in a lot of ways but the glasses and split personality is probably what's doing it for me.

It's the rage, I'm getting the same feeling as you are.

Not surprising. After all, Akamatsu-sensei has been pulling character traits from previous manga going back to A.I. Love You.

[OverMaster]

Spoiler for Spoilers:

Well, that's depressing. I'd bet most of 3-A and their families drowned down, huh? Why is it that, the longer this thing goes, the harder it is for me to reread Negima?

[SoloPanda]

Touta really needs to get a new jacket... not that he can afford one or anything.

[Dargor]

Touta needs a new wardrobe, a face lift, a haircut, a Logic Co-processor , and...well, everything possible to be not him. The rest of the series can follow him in that regard.

Spoiler:

Because no one wants to see a story they're invested in (Assuming it wasn't its intial angle from the start, of course) watch their world go to shit, result of their actions or not. Reading UQ Holder is just draining at this point.

Admittedly, I'm just sort of waiting for Akamatsu to really screw over Negima hard so I can finally have an excuse to drop this series. It hasn't sucked hard enough to warrant it, but I've no intention on following the adventurers of that idiot for any length of time.
