I've been thinking this might be the case for some time, though I didn't have a great way of explaining it other than a time-jump. Part of my "close the circle" thoughts.

Basically, as I see it, the MotB is sealed on Earth. What fought them on the Magic World would seem to be an artificial creation of the MotB's (which seems easy enough to do since all of KE appear to be artificial creations). My own thoughts on Negi not being affected isn't so much that "well, saving my father isn't that important because I got other things to do." Negi's plans to save the Magic World could take 100-years so its not like that has to be done ASAP. To me, it is more a case of Negi understanding that this wasn't his father speaking to him but the MotB attempting to get Negi to do something that could free it (using the guise of Nagi is easy since anyone with the proper magic can do it, and the MotB would certainly have no trouble there, I'm guessing). Since the MotB is sealed, dealing with it isn't important. Negi is on the path that Nagi set him on six years ago and reinforced during the Mahora Festival.

I agree as well. AR was going to let Negi in on who his mother was at some point, but the question is do they even know anything as to what happened to her? I reckon Alberio, Gateau (and maybe Takamichi) knew where the than pregnant Arika was last located. I have doubts she'd abandon her own son on her own volition, so the whole scenario strikes me as odd. Perhaps they do know what became of her, and they just don't want to talk about it. Alberio didn't want to point out Nagi's fate at the time, so who knows.

Think about this -- EVERY KE member that has been killed has been brought back to life by whatever system KE uses. None of them switched bodies and I don't believe the MotB is jumping bodies either. I think that in the end, we'll see that Amateru and her partner are very much alive and the founders of KE. She's been kind of a red herring in some ways, as I see it. Until the Magic World arc, Negi didn't give a rat's rear about his mother. He only cared about following his father's footsteps and never once said a peep about a mother. Then out of the blue, "Oh, here's your mother, the Arika of Ostia. And your dad had the hots for her and eventually, got to knock boots with her." (A little "old school" lingo there.) Arika's story has been interesting, but at times, I can't shake the red herring feeling around her. We'll see though.

And it probably took a few years for the Lifemaker to make new constructs and form a plan. Quote:

There were also remarks regarding Zect's "death" in 267 and how there was surprise about it. Jack said he thought "that youkai" wouldn't die no matter how many times you killed him. Sound familiar? It should because that's how Negi has just been described. Deathless. Earlier in the chapter, Zecht says that Nagi wasn't able to change anything, thus Zecht had rated Nagi's plan a failure. The scanlation uses "my," but the Twins went with "our" when Zecht basically curses Nagi to know his (our) 2600 years of despair. The Twins used "our" because they said it better fit the context of what was being said and the word used can be translated as "our" or "my." So, it is clear to me that Akamatsu-sensei is muddying the waters when he chooses a word that has two meanings. If the correct meaning is "our," then I'm correct and Zecht isn't possessed but revealing whom he truly is after Nagi defeated the female (or whomever). However, it if it "my," then yeah, the possession theory has more weight. The possession theory may be the right one, but my sense of things is that this isn't correct; the chapters you cited as giving you pause to consider that theory caused me the opposite reaction. Quote:
However, here's the issue: Nagi never saw Negi born. Negi's village all knew Nagi. It seems rather unlikely that they wouldn't know Negi's mother, especially since she is Queen Arika. Otherwise, how would they take a newborn and accept the claim that this was the son of the infamous Nagi. To accept such a claim, they would either need some massive, mind-altering spell cast on the entire village to make them believe this tale without proof OR they know the truth. Arrangements would seem to have been made by Nagi to have his child raised in that village, probably his own home village. Those arrangements would likely have also included giving birth to Negi. That's how I see it, at least. ^_^

I was holding onto this because I REALLY want a confirmation before posting, I guess Vetus's post confirms it, even if it comes four days late, which means RH version should be out soon, I was even wondering if I should post this late, oh well. C'est la vie
this was what I wrote on Asuna last week. Spoiler for 342:
I am actually not that far off in my guess, but now my guess is this will NOT be how Negima will end, I will expect a change of equations with the next coming arc which will solve the problem. plenty of substitutes are available I think. Spoiler for 343:
me? I can see the ending now. Spoiler:
