Needless

[DarkSkiper]

Spoiler for spoiler:

Well it really is possible that the change in the 'eye', for now since we don't know for 100% that the right one also changed, is a stigmata...
But that continue to look like his power has something to do whit his left eye or both.
Then again Blade and Arclight stigmata were on their stomach's does that mean they hungry for something? (Blade for naked girls with socks on and Arclight for yummy needless snacks?) not really although possible.
But their is still a possibility that Yamada power is either something like an upgraded version of Arcas or something completely new (gaderbender unlimited! which turn's people to opposite ganders!) ...

Spoiler for 100:

It sucks that Cruz's power woke up at the cost of Aruka's life...

FFFFUUUUUU Arclight

[surerman]

hmm..power on the eyes
let see the menu...
1.Mikuru beam
2.Superman laser gaze
3.Medusa Stone stare
4.AIC of German baby tube aka. Odin Eye (Infinite Stratos)
5.Geass
6.Death Perception (Tsukihime)
7.Cyclops burst (X-Men)
8.lol....Shinigami eyes ? (Death Note)

[Soji]

Spoiler for Just in case:

6.Death Perception (Tsukihime)
Yeah this one are the one that remind me the one yamada have...at least in shape.Just the feeling they give me the first time..but take me time to connect the 2.
Still the Death Perception that Shiki have in tsukihime is weaker than the one that the other shiki(the girl one) have in the other anime/manga.
Anyway let's just hope is nothing really link to die or would be rather sad from yamda..from a gift would be a curse. Still if is something like this would explain why AA react that way XD

Spoiler for Here's another one:

Mana's "demon sensing eyes" from Negima! Seen in the chapter where the ghost was introduced. (What was her name again?)

Sayo. You know, like your screen name.

Wow

Spoiler:

You might be onto something with that one.

Remember when ANn appeared in the Memory arc and Cruz thought it was strange that Saten couldn't see her? There might be a link between those two.

I've also been thinking about it for a while but does anyone else think it may have been ANn who left the mark on Mengroze's hand? If Cruz and ANn are connected, it's possible she was around when Aruka and Mengroze inserted the datachip in his brain. And we've seen that ANn is able to leave marks on people, like she did on Cruz's leg in the Memory arc.

[DarkSkiper]

Spoiler for muhuhha... got bored of writing spoiler all the time :D:

That would imply that a time paradox is at work, since AnN is in 2 years future...
But would be interesting to see.
Maybe she wanted too warn someone in the past about the coming horrible future? And hence how Yamada got injured and ended up on the table with Mangroze near by?

[Soji]

Spoiler for spoiler:

honestly ...I dont think so. I think yamada power it's his. And his power do that to mengroze just look this ch and the flashback one there is the same scene in both. Anyway...if they dont are the same person(thing that I start to dubt ..i have to admit ..even with the hole in the head+ the other thing)....then i get the feeling that Yamada and AnN are like complementary. Maybe similar like Eve and Blade? Honestly now I'm like 50 and 50 on this 2 . I mean that they have some kind of relationship i think is pretty sure. The problem we dont know wich one.

Er... I didn't mean to be. I only mentioned it because of the ghost reference...

Interesting... except that there's already a character who can see things other people can't. (I'm referring to "Second Sight" btw, in case anyone's wondering what the hell I'm talking about.)

Well... looking at that chapter again, it seems to me it's more like a light (that only Cruz can see) than a mark. But never mind that, because I spotted something quite interesting.

First of all, here's the picture of Cruz where I thought the little sparkles of light(?) might be stuff burning up:


Now, here's what I noticed while re-reading that bit in the memory world:


Same sparkles, same sound effect. I leave you to draw your own conclusions. (Because I don't have any. )

[Homura7]

^Hot damn!! Nice catch there.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Yes, it's the same sound effect and the sparkles around are also identical in shape. The only difference is that this time is Cruz himself who did that.

Aside from the evidence there's some kind of link between the two I won't say more, because there's no way we can draw a conclusion, at least not now.

Yeah, I knew that but it got me thinking. And anything is worth a shot because who knows where that'll go... kinda like the rest of your post.

Spoiler:

True, plus Mio claimed she saw an angel's hand protect Cruz. So it's not something exclusive to Cruz and only Cruz because Mio did see something that saved Cruz. Was just an idea that didn't have much evidence behind it though.

Nice find!

Spoiler:

Kinda wonder if those are anywhere else in the manga. Probably not but it might be interesting to see if they are associated with any other scenes, too.

Ah, but isn't that what this whole thread is all about? Trying to draw conclusions from random clues and lines and then being proven wrong when the next chapter is out?

[Solace]

Something I noticed, not sure if it's been referenced yet: in chapter 9, page 25, Saten is referred to as the "left hand of Arclight".

Spoiler:

The literal Japanese used there is "left arm", so it it isn't quite the same as the "left hand" term in Chapter 100.

[Avvesione]

This is probably nothing but going off the past 2 posts:

Spoiler:

The Agnishwattas Stigmata appears on Arclight's right hand.

Kinda wondering if Stigmata are set for the 12 fragments rather than the 12 people who have those fragments. Blade and Arclight showed the same one, so maybe it's related to the fragment and Arclight and Blade can have multiple? Could be why he wants everyone with a Stigmata found now so he can possess them all in his body?

Spoiler:

I'd buy that. To quote Saten in the Memory Arc:

"The mark indicates possession of abilities that have the most elements of the second christ in them."

That backs up the idea that the stigmata are caused by the ability, not the actual person.

[Soji]

Sayo A. @

Spoiler for spoiler:

Good find. For me there is only 2 chance here. And I already say them. One ,they are the same person (somehow) 2 they are complementary(you know like Dark and light. ecc . Comeplementary and opposites at the same time.). But this is just my Idea/feeling.

Yaluk @

Spoiler for spoiler:

Agree. This seem to be the case here. I mean AA stigmata appear when he use is own skill. And Arca stigmata appear on AA hand when he use her Needless power. I think this is enough prove to draw this conclusion.

[Avvesione]

Here's my post on Needless Chapter 100:

http://avvesione.wordpress.com/2012/...s-chapter-100/

Hope you enjoy!

[DarkSkiper]

Spoiler for Before you ask. Yes, I'm insane.:

Ok I thought about another possibility of Yamadas power!
Remember the light that came from Yamadas left leg that destroyed the sea of darkness in the memory world? Maybe that is his power the power of light! Even Saten said it was amazing.
....
.....
Oh and if we go with the idea that it's Yamadas stigmata that burned on Mengroze, them from the shape of it I think it acts like a switch to change from light to darkness!
....
.....
.......

Yeah thats completelly insane, but I'm bombarding with idea's in hope that one of them comes true, so I can say "Told you so!" later.

[Homura7]

Great review, Avvesione, though if anything City is very likely the last arc of the first part of the the story, and then we head to the second part
