kamachi PROBABLY does a lot of planning for this novel but i'd be amazed if even he thought that much into it but i'll ignore that since i like this hypothesis
He probably plans some of it, but makes it up as he goes. Nothing wrong with that of course, just as long as he pulls a The Empire Strikes Back and not The Phantom Menace.

There are more female characters than male characters, which in turn means there are more strong girls than guys, but the strongest in each category are almost usually the guys.

It can even be The Invisible Menace with that invisible something coming out from Touma.

is it sad that i have no freaking clue on what 'the empire strikes back' and 'the phantom menace' are refering to?(well maybe i know what the first one is refering to but not the second)

is this true for a lot of series or just this one?i never noticed this>.<

but kamachi has also added a lot of....myths,legends etc i wonder if he studied them before adding them into the novel or already knew them beforehand?

and what do you think is more trauma inducing accel in a bunny suit,touma in one or shiage?(don't ask why i asked this)

Depends; For Shounen manga action like the big three and their lesser ilks you'll find a more male heavy population. The guys are the strongest, they do all the heavy lifting, and you'll have one or two token sexy girls that are either as strong as the guys, or are weak but resourceful.

Most other series, especially those with Harem elements, you'll find that it's the female population that is more empowered and pretty much out numbered the guys- Though not always true that the guys would be weaker, but it's a case of more often than not.

Either they're super strong that they wow the crowds, or their powers are situational and are used as trump cards, or they're super weak that they have to hide behind the girls and give orders like pokemon trainers, or worse- be used as cheap labor.

Judging from the afterwords of the first volume, I'll say that he had to do some research to see how the 'magic' system works in the real world.

Question on novel 22, chapter 10 when Fiamma become the "The one above god" before editors touch it, it stated he could destroy a star, now its changed to planet which is the accurate version?.

On second note, why take out the "la persona superiore a dio" I find it more fitting that actually translate even that.

Yes.

Of course, that would be after Worst gets him drunk enough.

that shouldn't be too hard for her

and the current score is:

Accel: 3
Shiage and touma: 0

with accel in lead by 3 points,can shiage and touma ever hope to catch up?

WARNING FOR ACCEL VOTERS: please be careful when going outside, participant 1: accel has a habit of torturing anyone who annoys him to death and waking up in a bunny suit with people voting for him is enough to annoy him...thank you for your attention.

And just to get a more serious discussion....a question:

do you think touma was like accel and shiage before his memory loss?(wanting to be a hero) and if yes, then what do you think made him want to help others? seeing as he was wronged so much in his past, he should've had at least a bit of hard time in academy city...

Something I wanted to talk about is about the distortions of the elements wich switched Gabriel's and Michael's attributes and totally changed Uriel's and Raphael's positions.

Now that they have been fixed by Fiamma wouldn't it mean Vento would be aligned to Raphael and get his attributes?

Before that I'm confused about something- On one hand when Fiamma got his pieces together, even before getting Imagine Breaker, the narrative said that the Elements have been restored. But later with Aleister, Fiamma instead said that he had failed and that he could not save the world...?

The distortion was fixed by that doesn't means the world was saved from the 'uglyness' within the hearts of the humans which he wanted to cleanse by making the Earth to become a place similar to the Heaven with the Golden Sky.

She keeps her wind powers but has a different angel. Raphael is still air.

I actually want Vento to be able to cast Wind magic after losing her status as a God's Right Seat member.

It is official. js06 uses the Japanese text and if you use google translations with the words he uses it is planet.

I wish to know from what page in the novel that happen and the japanese text because a star is really different from a planet.

The strength of a la persona superiore a dio would be too weak for my taste if it can only smash a planet by the wave of it's hand or Fiamma is just underestimating Touma
