Scene changes to Mutant Beth attacking Yuma and Cynthia. They are in dire situation and Cynthia told Yuma to run for it. While Cynthia (arm and some leg missing) decides to awaken in an attempt to delay time for Yuma to escape. Yuma rush forward to stop Cynthia. (Oh my goddess please let this be real) - Suddenly from the heavens, Phantom Miria and Galeatea intercepts Beth attacks while Tabitha and Dietrich? (or Miata or someone) attacks mutant Beth from behind.

Scene change back to trio
The trio were hesitant to act due to heat? (dont understand...) Just when awakened Alicia is about to finish off small girl, the Organization retrieval unit tranquillizes Alicia and stopped her movement. The men in Black present questioned the identity of the Trio. The Trio flees and the scene ends with MIB awakening!! - (should be fake ) .

The spoiler from the Chinese site Mosmos posted earlier.

How could anyone get confused between Tabitha, Dietrich or Miata? They all look completely different from eachother.

Definitely fake.

Well since the previous chapter thread usually dies as soon as the new chapter thread is posted, and since I worked hard making a map and just posted it for Hedgy to see, I'm going to repost the map and message here, so we can discuss until the real spoilers come about.

Spoiler for Gonahl Map:

Well, I worked on another map to explain the possible location of Gonahl and the path Clare and Raki could've traveled after fleeing Ophelia. Anyway, Clare traveled North to get to Gonahl from some village were she killed a few yoma at. Once at Gonhal, like Hegey says and the scanlation confirms, Clare and Raki flee Ophelia by heading north into a forest. At some point Clare and Raki split up, and according to the translation on One Manga (hope it is right), Clare heads North East and Raki Heads North West. Anyway, North of the Forest is a Mountain Range which I like to think Riful lives in, though she could very well live in the Mountain Range Irene lives in. On the possible path that Raki takes, he has forest to one side, and mountains to the other, and there are probably a few villages on that path the lie between the forest and the mountains.

Anyway, using these instructions from the manga, so far, the map that people said Yagi drew still makes works.

Suddenly from the heavens, Phantom Miria and Galeatea intercepts Beth attacks

That SO reminds me of the song titled "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" where Chuck Norris descends from the heavens delivering a kick that could shatter bones into the crotch of Indiana Jones.

Anyways, I'm calling it right here, right now, Priscilla saves Clare.

I'm surprised that this chapter discussion is created so early. But that spoiler is 100% fake.

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Only thing about Priscilla saving Clare is that it is a bit anticlimactic. I mean then what?

[Tsuyoshi]

She'll start fighting Raciella and trying to avoid Clare while she goes mad and tries attacking her out of revenge. Idk, it's just something that I'd like to see happening.

You mean Cyclone got his hopes up of seeing his idol Galatea in leather for nothing? Oh dear, that doesn't sound like it'll go down well...

Nice work, Gangsta! Don't worry about the translation. Other 2 editions I have confirm that on OM. Anyway, I think Raki never crossed the mountain range: too risky. Believe me, I know how dangerous it is. He might have climbed enough to catch a glimpse of a village from up there. Then he might even have stopped to wait for Claire to reach him. But then, seeing she didn't come, he descended into the plain to head to the village he might have seen.

Thanks for taking the time to translate us the fake spoiler, mosmos. I mean, I hope it is.

If anyone's wondering which song I was talking about, here it is:

Just replace Chuck Norris with Miria, Batman with Clare, Godzilla with Raciella and you have this chapter.

[SagaraSouske]

I don't know, that spoiler sounds very plausible (except the 3rd part). Most likely just some details are incorrect but the gist of first two scenario/meeting looks real.

Many people think Pris is heading to Racilla. Her meeting an fully awakened Alicia is definitely a possibility. Clare and co running away from round 2 makes equal sense and it is possible that they run into each other.

One of my supposed scenario that Yuma and Cynthia may not die because of Miria and Co show up is basically illustrated here.

We're only a few days from the beginning of the next month, it's not really that early. I'm sure we'll see some official stuff by next week, and having the thread up early means more time to laugh at fake spoilers and debate about Teresa vs Priscilla for the umpteenth time. ^^

1) What happened to Riful? Where's the resolution behind that?

2) Why would Pris go to Raciella when we don't even know what happened to her to begin with?

Last chapter was messy enough, this chapter doesn't need to make it worse.

Actually, their hasn't been anything on that debate in a very long time

Shockingly. I was rather pleased that the topic was so focused in last months thread. You guys make me proud..*sniff*....

[haegar]

*lolz* comm on people give solace a break If the thread's up later there's complaints and if it's open early there are as well

this is paranoid

though I agree that spoiler does look fishy

Focused huh? some people with stronger memories would probably disagree...

Thank god though this month starts during the weekend instead of smack-dab in the middle of the week; things will be alot simpler this month.

She got killed off-screen.

I don't like the spoilers and I hope they're fake.

I'm referring to getting the chapter itself, not the content.

People work more on the weekdays and don't have the time to be here when the chapter comes out, so this month will be alot easier for alot of people, myself included

She got killed off-screen.

Hmm, just like Renee? But wait, we don't know if she's really dead.

Off-screen, just like the Raki-battle last chapter.

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of things happening off-screen, wondering what really happened, and wondering if I'll ever get to see them in full glory.
