I'm glad there are pics of Metatron. Fighting a God Beast should be a better chance now that they have her.

Not to the point of gaining a chance of winning though,considering she's weakened right now.

Those racks... Aren't they too stacked for 14-15-year-olds?

They probably got good genes or are eating right.

[belatkuro]

I remember one of them has the hots for Silver Crow. Which is it?

[orpheus2]

Been a long time. Busy IRL. Thanks for the spoilers. I have to ask. Why did Haru, Fuuko and Metatron enter the Imperial Palace again?

If I remember correctly, it was Manganese Blade. However, you could say both her and Cobalt are part of Blue Knight's harem.

Spoiler for answer:

They entered the Palace because if they didn't they would be incinerated by Suzaku's flame breath attack,Heir gave them access by destroying Suzaku's gate using his <Heavenly Stratus> IS attack.after meeting up with Heir(with him introducing himself to Metatron and Raker) he introduced(well re-introduced in this case though he doesn't really know that) his sword master and Parent:Graphite Edge(who,true to Graphite Edge fashion showed up forming a V-sign with his right hand.)

As for why they're near the Palace in the first place it's because Haru and Fuuko wanted to try destroying an Imperial Palace Gate with Metatron's help(it looks like Metatron is still as strong as a Legend Rank Being,just nowhere near as strong and overpowered as her 1st form).if it succeeds the possibillity of breaking in without having to fight Suzaku can be achieved,if it failed they could just run away from Suzaku.the attempt didn't happen because Suzaku appeared before they could even try doing it.

That time was more her giving advice to Haru rather than any attraction going on though.(he still raised a flag though)

Wasn't Graphite Edge supposed to be outside the Imperial Palace because of GW? How did he end up there again?

[HasuMasu]

Did they beat Edge?

Spoiler for edge:

He was never actually rescued there from the first place,what he did was offering himself up as a hostage so that NN's Shibuya territory and the other surviving NN members(this was true as it turns out) will be given protection.after a fight with Grandee and Decurion and handing over more than half of his Burst Points,the deal was accepted and he was given the first seat of the Six Layered Armor as a title of honor.

as for why he's in there he either destroyed Genbu's gate by himself or Heir destroyed the gate allowing him access to the inside.i don't know which one is true though since spoilers about V18 stopped appearing.

i don't even know how the fight even went out or what was the result of the fight since spoilers about the volume stopped appearing.

[tuckersister]

I wonder what was Suzuku's and Metatron's reaction to each other.

[gensouR-1]

So,uh i'm just going to post this(not really much though):

Spoiler for Grandee and Six Armor:

Green Grandee:
EA:The Strife.
Abillity: Double Payback.
Special Move: Distant Shield(creates phantom duplicates of the shield that he’s currently using as platforms to move across the battlefield)
Graphite Edge:
EA:Lux&Umbra(Lux is the Elucidator lookalike and Umbra is the Dark Repulsor lookalike,in the NN VS GW Battle Royal that takes place in the <Space> Stage he only used Lux,Umbra hasn’t been used in a long time like Kirito’s Dark Repulsor)
Special Move:-Slant.
-Vertical Square.
(both pretty much works the same as the SAO Sword Skills)
Other Skills:Soft Act.(he was the one who teached KYH the skill in the first place)
Viridian Decurion:
EA:Gladius(primary weapon for Roman foot soldiers)
Special Move:-Viridian Legionary(creates Legionaries,autonomous puppets like the ones Puppeteer can create depending on his Killer Gauge,except his is instant and doesn't have to set up first.in the Battle Royale Decurion used this Special Move to create 4 Legionaries to fight Raker and Maiden.if he had more Killer Gauge he could create 8 Legionaries)
Also he has another Special Move but he got interrupted by Raker before he even got to use it.the name was Viridius-(got interrupted before he got to say the full name).
Iron Pound:
Special Move:-Hammer Rave(barrage of attacks using his fists)
-Rocket Straight(shoots both of his hands as projectiles) -
-Eruption Blow(1 hand version of Rocket Straight)
Lignum Vitae:
EA:unnamed wooden umbrella which is also her initial Enhanced Armament.
Special Move:-Carbyne Cycle(Changes her Duel Avatar to her Tree Form)
-Krebs Cycle(Changes her Tree Form to her Duel Avatar)
Suntan Schaefer didn’t use any abillities,Special Move or skills during the Fight.
Sixth Seat(Whoever they are,even though they didn’t show up at all their existence has been confirmed in this volume) didn’t appear so who cares.

Also the answer to HasuMasu's question:

Spoiler for answer:

Edge wasn't defeated in the Battle Royale,the only ones who actually got beaten was Viri and Pound.

i'll probably do a infodump(and some corrections on some of the spoilers) up to the current Chinese Translation(which isn't finished yet)tomorrow if i got the energy for it.

[HasuMasu]

Oh, thanks for that.

Surprising...initial spoilers didn't indicate it was a team battle...

[Flere821]

@ gensou-R: After reading the translations:

Spoiler for corrections:

-Graphite Edge did get 'defeated', he forfeited after he was effectively the last one standing and was piled by Lotus, Raker, Maiden and Current. Space Stage got everyone else in Green Legion knocked away with no way to propel back, minus those like Pound that actually got reduced to 0HP.

-Vertical Square in AW is a ranged attack for some reason

Spoiler for Adding other things (incl SAO spoilers):

-Lignum is basically a support role, in tree form has nearly no attacking power, has high defence and can transfer Spec.Gauge power to allies so they can spam attacks.

-Cobalt & Mangan Blade are metal coloured, not blue, so not limited to CQC moves.

-More teasers that Edge is a version of Kirito, he was used to the Space Stage before anyone else was, and justified it as having played a similar stage before in other games. End of Alicization showed Kirito fighting in space
Edge can deflect bullets back to to the shooter, having done so against Red Rider; a step up from Kirito merely cutting bullets

Thanks for the correction Flere.

also moar info:

Spoiler for infodump:

Explanation of the Graphite Edge and Territory situation in V18:when the Imperial Palace Raid failed horribly Lotus has several options to pick:
1.Disband NN.
2.Resign from NN and pick a successor .
If she doesn’t do anything Shibuya will be absorbed by the White Legion who is going to attack them.
She chose the first option but before she disbanded NN she decided to negotiate with Grandee to ensure the safety of the Legion members that stayed in Shibuya and the Shibuya territory with Graphite Edge offering himself up as a hostage.Grandee accepted this and absorbed Shibuya and the non-Element NN members into Great Wall,but he makes Lotus promise something she didn’t understand at that time:when one day the time of decision comes again,don’t run away.
-NN didn’t have to pay any compensation points because Edge used his BP as compensation when he joined GW,his points were used to feed Enemies so that other Burst Linkers would gain Extra BP from killing them.
-after the Imperial Palace Raid failed Oscillatory attacked NN with the intention to take their territory and destroy them,they survived the first attack but would fall in the second attack.before OU attempted to attack again 5 seconds before the Territory War between NN and OU begins Lotus gives Shibuya to Grandee and as a result OU was forced to stop its attack on Shibuya as:1.NN doesn’t have any territory anymore so the Territory War is invalid 2.OU and GW were still under Non-Agression Pact Treaty,despite this this doesn’t stop OU from getting in conflict with GW with them constantly attacking GW(not Territory War) for 3 years with members of the <Seven Dwarfs> constantly joining in.
-it turns out before Graphite Edge joined <Six Armor> were in name only with only 5 seats filled,before Edge joined they were actually <Five Armor>.they only became <Six Armor> for real after Edge joined recently.
-the whole NN vs GW Battle Royale was to show Graphite Edge the strength and will of the current NN which is another condition for the return of the Shibuya Territory.
-the other 2 members of the Triplex(Porcupine and Moose) were members of 1st gen Prominence who didn’t get involved in the Prominence civil war and emerged after it had ended to support 2nd gen Prominence,Niko wants to discuss with them about the future of Prominence.
-Pard has 1 Level Up Bonus left after she jumped to Level 8 but has not decided what she’s going to choose.she’s also feeling the pressure of being a Level 8 Burst Linker which is far greater than she had expected.
-A Transition can happen in the Normal Duel Field if the modes are switched during a Duel,in this case a Single Duel was switched to Battle Royale Mode with the <Twilight> Stage switching to the <Space> Stage.
-the Leonids twin lieutenants nickname is Dualis.
-funny thing about Puppeteer:even though her Duel Avatar is covered with chocolate and her abillities are centered on making them she's actually allergic to them(well more specifically the cocoa in them) if she eats or drinks them.(this is also her Trauma by the way)
-Cobalt and Mangan has a Special Move named <Rangeless Siege On>,which allows them to cut anyone regardless of range depending on how long their swords are stored in their sheath(the same abillity that Heir's Infinity has except theirs is range instead of power)
-The twins agreed to be third party observers in the NN-OU territory war that will take place in Saturday so that they can check the Battle List of any ARS members in OU when NN takes OU’s territory.
-Ardor Maiden has a Special Move named <Super Luminal Stroke> which she got when she reached Level 7.
-The Strife's defense got bypassed by Crow and Raker in the Battle Royal by a combination of Crow’s continous attacks on it and Raker doing a Gale Thruster boosted dive kick on it(RAAAKEEEER KIIIICK!!!),it's because The Strife soaked up too much damage far beyond its damage storage that it got bypassed and the attack hit Grandee,he was not damaged at all though because his own defence was very high.
-Puppeteer became a Burst Linker 2 years ago.
-the ex-Petit Paquet club activities were making handmade food and they were pretty fond of making them.

Fixed the Strife Part with Flere's correction.Thanks again Flere and sorry for the trouble.

Spoiler for Volume 18:

The Strife...shattered? wowowowowowowowowowwo

[Tusjecht]

Spoiler tags, please.

Spoiler for reply:

I just don't understand it. If The Strife could hold up to Haruyuki's strongest IS-infused, rage-fuelled strike and only take a scratch, what's so different about Fuuko's and his attacks combined that completely break it now? Is reki trying to show that they're stronger? Or Grandee is giving them a chance and not fighting seriously? Wasn't he and Blue Knight tied for the strongest Linkers? This makes no sense - can we have context, please?

Spoiler for Volume 18:

Perhaps most confusingly, it could last against Trisagion for some seconds...

[Flere821]

Spoiler for gensou:

-The Strife got destroyed in the Battle Royal by a combination of Crow’s continous attacks on it and Raker doing a Gale Thruster boosted dive kick on it(RAAAKEEEER KIIIICK!!!),the broken components of The Strife(the pillar sections specifically) discharged the damage it accumulated and created a small shockwave that sended Grandee flying outside of the battlefield(didn’t really make a big damage on him though).

Spoiler for The Strife:

That Armament had a set damage storage/soak, which if bypassed the incoming attack will blow through the shield's defence and hit Grandee. And Grandee's Double Payback doesn't work like Pokemon for example, where Counter/MirrorCoat activates after a hit automatically, so chained attacks can bypass that skill for some reason, at least until the attacks stop.

What that segment said was the Strife's defences got bypassed (which is a WTF from me as well, Crow hitting it for a minute + Raker kicking it at full speed shouldn't be stronger than Chrome Disaster >.>), and Grandee took a hit. Grandee was removed from the Battle Royale after that hit knocked him into zero-G area and away, which Crow noted Grandee didn't take any damage from their last attack, Grandee was just that high-defence.

Ah, that makes more sense (and less sense at the same time).
