I thought it was pretty obvious Shiragi's intentions are an extension of Hercule's ambitions - to merge the dream world and real world together.
The only difference is that Hercules was doing it just to stir up trouble, while Shiragi wants to literally make dreams a reality. The bait is already pretty obvious: Nightmares are summoned, and Yumeji uses his special power to draw from the dream world to beat them. As they keep fighting, the situation gets worse. There are already signs that the boundary between worlds is deteriorating - Nightmares appear on a much shorter notice, and Ren can fuse with his Nightmare. By being the "good" guys, Yumeji and Merry may be giving Shiragi exactly what he wants. |

Eyebrows needs to die.
At least Hercules was classic AHHAHAHAHA-type villain we can all enjoy. Eyebrows is too...realistic. Sociopathic, perfectionist assholes like him actually exist and tend to be in power and screw things up in our world. For now, though, adorable sweet young love just won. Three cheers to the cute beta couple! |

And those are the most enjoyable kind of villains! Sociopathic? If anything, he wants to make people's dreams come true, he just has a really messed up way to "help", which is what makes him a douchebag. |

Apologies, I was using a somewhat obscure slang for romantic relationships between secondary characters. Not "beta" as in "alpha vs beta male."
Sorry about that. Quote:

Time to revive the thread again.
Chapter 71 is interesting. Ren was always a pretty interesting character and we finally start to see what his motivations for his One-Good-Deed-A-Day thing are. At least, I can piece together some ideas from what we see in this chapter. We'll probably get full insight in the next chapter, though.

"I am a God." Yeah, he`s pretty crazy.
Interestingly, John, Engi and Yumeji are all feeling that something is wrong, but not Merry. I`m guessing this has nothing to do with her door. There was six of those guys and Ren beat them all ? If he didn`t used his nightmare, he`s a real monster. Also, Ren`s loaded. I loled at Hiiragi`s reaction !

The chapters are already behind the raws. At least by two chapters.
I mentioned a long time ago (really long time) that there will be a band of elite dream demons that will start to come out of hiding suppress the enemy. They didn't do anything in the previous events cause they believe that the problem will resolve itself. As I said before, these dream demons are very special and far older than any dream demon in existence. I wouldn't put the fact that their "dream god" made some of them. This band is only very few of them (maybe like 5 or 6). They hold certain title for themselves. I pretty sure "The Knight" would be one of them. |

Oh ! Finally more Merry !
More backstory on Ren. Both his parents have that same hair bang. The chapter ends with Ren seeing Shiragi being attacked by the nightmare he was chasing... Not too sure what to expect from this encounter.

Therefore, you get a Human-Nightmare hybrid, effectively making the dream part of the real world because it can't separate from the human anymore. The real underlying message to all of this is that Yumeji might potentially be part-dream after all. Many chapters ago when he went to the playground with Isana, they mentioned a scar a had on his arm that is gone now. It is quite possible that part of Merry is inside Yumeji, and that's what allows him to use his powers and completely recover from whatever injury he had as a child. |

Ren's backstory, his catharsis, and Shiiragi's appearance inside the world of a Nightmare...yep...something bad's going to happen that permanently disables Ren from fighting. But, I'm bad at scoping death flags so let's hope that I'm wrong here.

New translated chapter came out. Ren lost his dream demon, however he gained his memories the end of the chapter. Shiragi got to have his ass kicked.
Also, I'm still rooting that there will be a royal guard of the dream world. A couple years back I talked about the god of dream Mobius and if his existence in the manga. We know nothing of the origins of the dream demon's creation. I would think the very first dream demon is the Sandman. If Mobius does in fact exist in the manga, what is the gap in power to a dream demon. |

So, it seems like there were 3 or 4 pages that were missing when I read Chapter 72. Those death flags were spot on. Quartier is dead. Damn...no more kickass fusion powers anymore.
However, it does look like the plot is about to move forward again.

Yumeji and Merry figure out that there`s something going on at the shrine and Shiragi is there to welcome them.
This should be good. Poor Ren... Not only was Quartier Latin(lol) was killed, but Ren's dream came true because of it. But even in a mess, his fear of girls still kicks in.

Engi can really summon swords in the real world and John can call his cat girls too.
Shiragi sure loves his mastermind role. "Let`s be lovers, as we fight and hurt each other, our blood, sweat and tears mix onto one." The guy can create dream sprites from drops of his blood. I guess no one cares, but... This is getting good as we might finally have some answers about Merry and Yumeji`s past.

I think the hints are pretty obvious: Yumeji lost his arm and was in critical condition from shock/blood loss, and Merry used Shiragi's and some of her body parts to heal him.
The fusion of dream and human led to Merry's memory loss and the beginning of the dream leaks to the human world. |
