So you are saying that tats healed the damage done to minami“s soul/brain/spirit(whatever) because of the mca heating up but couldn t heal the cause? therefore the minami's spirit/soul will be damaged overtime until they fix the mca overheating?

And if this is true is there any new expanation about the new limits of regrowth? like if he heals souls he should be able to revive people that recently died? or if will be able to desintegrate (because he can see them now) pushion bodies like spirits or parasites?

Chapter to chapter commentary thanks to Lord_Odin93 of the Wikia Discord

The Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Foreign Affairs basically know that Tatsuya is an SCM now. Though what Foreign Affairs did earlier by trying to use Hitsui was unofficial. Saeki and Kazama know that relations with the Yotsuba and Tatsuya is estranged. They also talk about if Tatsuya is named and recognized as an SCM that he'd be the 'Fourteenth Apostle' and the strongest in the world. Also, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is also getting involved with whether or not ESCAPES is legal and if it can work out since they'd have to deal with the USNA which is Japans largest trading partner.

Later on when Tatsuya is at First High, he and Tomitsuka go up to the roof to talk. Tatsuya grills Tomitsuka and tells him the real purpose of Dione. Tomitsuka finds it hard to believe. Once Tatsuya leaves, he starts to think and wonders if it is true, and if so then opinion about the project would never be forgiven.

Among the four superpowers, we know that the USNA is in the Dione camp, no surprise there. The Indo-Persian Federation is showing the attitude that they are practically siding with ESCAPES. Europe generally supports the Dione. ESCAPES has support from West Asia to Southeast Asia, Brazil and Australia haven't stated who they are siding with either including the Great Asian Union. Edward is lagging behind with Tatsuya. Their projects both contribute, but in theory Dione is behind, but for Edward he has the use of the masses on his side.

Well Edward calls and talks with William McCloud. Edward can't reach Igor and he isn't answering his calls. William and Edward are talking and William is saying that they'll need to use everything they have to deal with Tatsuya using full force. William asks Edward if Hlišskjįlf can be used to get information. Edward tells him no. They know that the Yotsuba Family is called 'Untouchable'. Prior to Tatsuya being outed, Clark was targeting the Yotsuba Family to get information about them. Maya had access to Hlišskjįlf, when Edward came across this fact he tried to gather information.However, Maya didn't dance to his tune. Even from her use, Edward rarely knew about the abilities of Tatsuya and those of the Branch Houses.

Edward shows his unhappiness with Igor by no longer adding 'Dr.' to his surname.

Raymond was the one who sent the emails and invented 'involvement of Japanese operatives'. Raymond has a visitors pass and use touring and looking at things while the Black-hole project is being worked on.

Jacob Regulus thought he wouldn't be possessed by a Parasite, he is now. Alexander Arcturus sensed the Parasite. He too is now possessed.

Raymond was outside of the building, he started to feel pain since he too. It seems like he is possessed or has become one with them like how I think Zhou is with Minoru. They are feeding off and using Raymond's desire to play the role of someone in a heroic saga (which he thinks of as romantic) and to conquer the universe with magic. He views Tatsuya as his enemy and is going to take him down. The Parasite says this to Raymond, 'I/we are called parasites' the people of this world.' Parasite are invited once again to this world.

Parasites assimilated not only Regulus, Arcturus, Raymond. Also the Three of Stars' 6th Corps, 'Orion Team' who had been waiting outside the building were turned into parasites. None of them remember being humans. The others returned to STARS HQ and Raymond back to CA.

The end of Ch5 had Minoru being able to sense other Parasites, the one's in the dolls I think. The first part of Ch6, which is large has to do with Minoru going after Tatsuya and being unhappy and them fighting. Tatsuya believes that Minoru has absorbed the ghost of Zhou and that he has to take time away from ESCAPES to deal with him and Miyuki wonders if Maya and the Kudou should be asked for help. It looks like a TMC Conference is held to talk about and how to deal with Minoru.

During the first part of CH7, Lina is dreaming about the last fight with the Parasites and also dreams about and starts thinking about Tatsuya and how he has viewed her as a 17 year-old girl and not a SCM and whatnot. She feels lonely without Tatsuya and Miyuki.

Now I know why Lina is being targeted. They can't assimilate with her, the Parasites. They view her as a dangerous foe.

Okay, the illustration with the two women are Vega and Deneb. 3rd and 4th Unit Captains. Okay, now I understand more. The Parasites are rebelling and the two women come to Lina and calling her a traitor and saying that she's loyal to Japan. Lina during the chaos and Vega and Deneb going after her, Lina uses magic to accelerate away.

Lina arrives in Japan safely and calls the Kudou Family with the number Balance gave her to stay and rest. Canopus, Ralph Hardy and any others who helped her out are sentences to military prison on Midway Island.

'Minami, don't push yourself'
'Tatsuya-sama ...' Minami's consciousness who was tripping was pulled back to reality by Tatsuya 's voice. '... ... ... both of you are safe?' The first thing asked by Minami was not her condition, but: 'Ah, Minami, thanks to you'. 'I am honored.', For the people asking about Minami

Okay, start of Ch8. Igor reappears and Igrok is being worked on during the time of the rebellion of STARS in the USNA. He feels humiliated, but is going to try attacking again. That without Argan and Igrok he would have been killed. He feels like a pitiful man. Even when he went up against STARS and killed William Sirius he hasn't felt like this before. He attacks Tatsuya again. Tatsuya kills the workers and scares the crap out of Igor.Tatsuya destroyed everything. Igor was connected to it all and his head is hurting like a headache. Agran and Igrok are gone.

Public opinion about Dione, which Igor is co-sponsoring is falling and ESCAPES is likely to be backed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Ayako and Fumiya are the one's who are gotten a hold of and let Tatsuya and Miyuki meet with Lina.The volume ends with 9 chapters and Tatsuya and Miyuki meeting with Lina. Well the last part with Lina is there is surprise at seeing her during a breakfast and she lets them know about the rebellion in America.

It seems like it was thought that Lina coming over is a camouflage, but it isn't that and that Maya trusts that Lina wouldn't be trying to spy on the Yotsuba. At the very, very end Lina starts to tell Tatsuya about everything that is going on.

After read this summary, probably this volume could be one of the best between all Mahouka releases.

I think it`s not about Minoru. In Modern Magic realm Tatsuya almost unmatched now. But he can be defeated with MI magics , Spirit Manipulation Techniquies (like Yakumo`s illusions, Ghost Walker). There are probably dozens of magicians like Yakumo. Hidden, unknown and have a potential to defeat Tatsuya. There are many hints about Tatsuya`s growth. And I think he is not even close his potential. Like Master Yoda`s words;

"Much to learn, you still have."

So most of the 25th volume is described on the wiki.
The only part not detailed is Mayumi's discussion with Tatsuya, but from the looks of it, aside from wanting to understand Minorus condition, she also wants to patch things up with Katsuo and Tatsuya. does anyone know?

Also, does anyone know how long its been since Tatsuya and Miyuki have been engaged? at least a year now?
I'm asking because the bath scene in vol. 24 kinda makes me feel that Tatsuya is not making any progress on seeing Miyuki as a woman. In fact, his regretting not rejecting Miyukis offer and locking the door
makes me feel he is only comfortable with the original status quo of their relationship and has no desire for intimacy with her. He wont even share the same bed with her.
when Miyuki refereed to Tatsuya as onii-sama again, it looked like they've gone back to maintaining the brother/sister relationship in private while appearing as a more formal couple in public. Am i the only one that thinks their relationship took a step backwards somewhere?
Was also an eye riser in reading that Tatsuya himself acknowledged that if he had all his emotions he might even of came to be jealous and hate Miyuki.

Also, i'm torn on the new illustrations. while they do give some characters like Miyuki more maturity in the first few, The last picture with Lina made Miyuki look pretty resentful. Made me remember the last time they talked when Lina tried to thank Tatsuya for saving Sylvia and the two stared at each other before hanging up. (cat fight!)

Tatsuya and Miyuki were engaged over new years. It is now 1-2 months before summer.
So 4 months at most.

So according to all the spoilers on the Wiki, Tatsuya most likely will become the fourteenth Apostles in the future to deter war from happening with his immense power to destroy in order to allow his pet project to succeed.

As there will be no conflict because Tatsuya SCM act as a deterance(MAD is a great plan) and without conflict there will be no war that will hinder Tatsuya plan to allow Magician to ESCAPES from the military to need to fight anymore.

See I told you so! And all those people who made theories that Tatsuya should become one of the apostles were right in their calling with these two volumes release!

I finally checked for myself.
They got engaged in volume 16 on December 30th and the last chapter of Volume 25 ends on June 22. So their engagement has been 8 days off of 6 months.

Kind of feels like it's been longer, but i guess that's the issue with releasing 9 volumes over 3 years to make up 6 months of the stories development.

In my opinion, for Tatsuya X Miyuki romantic relationship to move forward Miyuki has to start treating Tatsuya not like a brother but more like another guy. She also needs to start making more consistent advances on him, not just a bold move here and there.

As for Tatsuya, I believe it may take a big event that makes Tatsuya put his relationship into perspective by reviewing how he feels for her not what he thinks of her as. I believe sometimes Tatsuya's logic or mind gets in the way of putting things in perspective. It also doesn't help that Tatsuya can't feel strong emotions for anything or anyone but Miyuki, which is why he has a hard time of putting his feelings for Miyuki into perspective. I've also noticed a few times when Tatsuya starts to look at or see Miyuki differently and more as another girl he starts to stop himself, because they're siblings or cause it is what he believes is walking into Maya's plan/trap.
