This is great, I had this sick feeling in my stomach that we wouldn't get to see more of Cruz power this chapter.
Blade is probably gonna leave the job up to Cruz to save Mio/Teryuama and Set/Solva
Also if it is true that Arca has been in Simeon since the beginning, this only adds to the mystery of her actions. Like holding information against Arclight, and hiding the second chip. It might have to do with the reason why the Adam Project is still in effect, Triple 6 acting behind Arclights back?
So Kami's changing the name of an arc again. It's changing from City Arc to Attack of the Clones.
Seriously though, this just baffles the mind. If those really are clones of Arca, are they just fast grown drones created from some DNA Simeon had stored, or are they as Leidolfr suggested unmodified clones of Arca from when she was a child? Certainly going to be fun to find out, although I suppose its possible these girls might be nothing more then the next generation of clone soldiers similar to Ingrit and Mongrit.
Also anybody else worried that if we don't see something of Seto this issue, that we'll soon see Uten and Kafka presenting Arclight with her severed head?
Well Arca was the leader of the clone army, so why wouldn't they make an army out of her?
I doubt Set will go down that easily, but it is two versus one. I believe Cruz is gonna save the day for both of them. Also he wouldn't need the severed head exactly, they could take piece of her DNA and clone her so he could get the stigmata. I mean he got everyone elses stigmata without slicing off their heads.
My issue of Ultra Jump came in today. I'm going to see what I can do about a temp version until the real version comes out. But for now my thoughts on the chapter for those too curious to wait:
Spoiler:
This chapter has a ton of information on Cruz. A TON. Pretty much the first 10 pages are devoted to acknowledging and detailing all the events that have happened to Cruz throughout Needless that we haven't explained. Examples are:
Kafka's Kandata String
Falling into St. Rose
Setsuna's attacks
Hatfield's attacks
Aruka stopping before killing Cruz
The pill Cruz took
The syringe Disk examined in the Underground City
A few panels from Third Shelter and City arcs
I'm not sure how much information is there in each but they are all shown as references during this time. If I knew more Japanese, I'd be able to tell you more but that's it for now.
Second biggest impression from this chapter besides all the valuable information is the MASSIVE amount of fanservice. There are 34 panty shots this chapter which is surprising given how serious and important most of it is (though most of them are small and probably shouldn't even be considered as such). There are also a few pages which puts Cruz in ultra fanservice mode, so you might want to brace yourself.
Lastly, for those curious about the loli army from the preview, they are Aruka clones and they are prepared to kick ass. Their attack looks the same as Agnishwattas but two of them get together and call it "Agunisshuaakaasha" or something slightly different than what we've seen in the past.
I'm going to see what I can do about getting a temp copy but I expect the normal version to be out soon and for it to be available to everyone like normal. Hope you're not disappointed or mad or anything. :X
Just from the picture you can see this ch it's really interesting . Also from what i can guess Yamada power seem to be both offensive and defensive(like I already say to you).I mean if we go with
Kafka's Kandata String
Falling into St. Rose
Setsuna's attacks
Hatfield's attacks
Aruka stopping before killing Cruz
The pill Cruz took
The syringe Disk examined in the Underground City
A few panels from Third Shelter and City arcs
Seem to me that his power always protect him even when the power still in a dormant state.
Now i wonder if the next ch will show us something more about his power. because in all honestly I find the loli Aruca the right opponent for this.
All the clones we've seen are the actual ages of the characters when their blood samples were taken. Does that mean Aruka's blood sample was taken when she was a child? Could that mean she's been with Simeon for a long time and that's the original sample they have for her? Or maybe the original died and a clone used since for Simeon? Be interesting to see what happens with the introduction of these lolis.
Spoiler:
I thought about that possibility when I saw Uten and cloned Kafka, and not only that, but they also recalled his final moments before dying and be cloned (do again?).
In addition, when Cruz traveled to the past with Saten, rejoined Kafka (much younger) and appears to be, before joining Simeon (supposedly), had a distinct personality (in part) due to the fact that we initially saw when fighting Blade, so I think the Kafka that I saw at the beginning was a clone of the original (remember that the young Kafka told Yamada that he expects to see in the near future).
My conclusion is that, when Cruz knows to control its power, you will find again with Kafka (the original) and this will join Cruz in its fight against Arclight, and perhaps also find his sister (the original)
If the chapter 101 is already available, send me the link of chapter 101 in a private message, I want to know is what will happen between Teruyama and Mio .
And the content of the pill Cruz took in was, nothing more and nothing less than, Eden Seed.
Spoiler for spoiler:
This seem to be the case. Also i still think is power is both offensive and difensive from what we know. So what hell this power is? lest hope the traslation give us some hit or the answer about this.
Okay here are my final 3 options for what Yamadas power is!
1)Time Manipulation (explains why Arca stopped)
2)Upgraded Arca's (which not only accelerates molecules but also slows them down)
3)Zero.
Well I can't them back them up properly cause I'm lazy right now, but those are my final bet on what Yamadas fragment is.

Spoiler:
I wonder how did Disc got a hold of Eden Seed. Also how they carelessly give Cruz something that could potentially kill him.
@darkskipper
I think it might also be some kind of time manipulation, but that doesn't explain him miraculously surviving everything he has went through. I am thinking some kind of cause and effect manipulator like GER from JJBA, which would put Cruz on a whole other level of broken.
I thought that Arca can manipulate molecular oscillation both ways.
Spoiler:
She has never shown too, but it would make since, at least with a stigmata. Though then her Fragment wouldn't be very different then Satans. It would also be the ultimate ice power too, shitting all over Strom, if she could stop all work at the molecular level(absolute Zero).

Arca already shat all over Strom when she melted that ice wall of his to save Cruz and that village.
