Needless

[js06]

My translation is up: http://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/29664

[Avvesione]

My thoughts on 91:

Spoiler:

I liked the little change of pace, following Blade and Eve around for half a chapter and then going to Triple Six for the other half. We've been following Cruz for nearly 90 chapters, so having one without him was kinda interesting. It had a little bit of everything Needless does well, with is the action, the comedy, the gore, and the ecchi (Cruz and Mio on the cover).

Onto the specifics, I love the City. For the first time we have a real change of scenery. That two-page shot was gorgeous. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the City but we'll probably only seen a few more scenes of it up close before they reach Arclight. As for Arclight, he's got a nice new outfit. I wonder if anything will happen between Arclight/Riru and Saten/Ishiyama soon or not, since they seem to have different agendas still.

Also, I did like the gore in this chapter, with the Triple Six committee sorta exploding. I think it's funny how they keep the Needless stuck in the Blackspot, yet want to be Needlesses themselves. Guess that's not happening anymore.

Oh, and it looks like Cruz to do something fanservicey this chapter, too. Might as well keep the streak alive since Chapter 56.

Also, thanks for the translation js06! Will read it now.

No one comments this?

Spoiler for 91:

The content of the syringe: Apple of Eden.

Eve was injected with that... why?

I'm going to leave it here.

The truth is close to unveil.

As always, thanks js06

Agree with Adan, thanks for the translation as always js06
And Ynot,thanks for the advice
Going back to the topic.

Spoiler for ch 91:

I knew the translation has confirmed what I thought some time ago. Some time ago I said that Saten look Yamada after Eve had taken care of to see if Yamada reject the Appel of eden.
And this ch has only confirmed it, that is if Yamada refused the Appel of Eden at that time he would have gone the same way of those peopole, thank goodness he had what was needed, I dare not imagine how she would have felt (and also disk of course ) after all the effort to resuscitate him and see him end like that.
I admit I'm curious to see how the whole situation began in this ch goin to evolve from now on .
And of course I wonder when Yamada arrives in the city, since I am sure he will goin to the city sooner or later.

[Magin]

Wow... what a chapter

Spoiler for 91:

Disappointed on the Yamada side... but dammit, it seems Kami has the throw in a panty shot of him every chapter, one way or another. And after reading the translation (thank you so much, js06)... well, the group braking in that easily was expected, though it would seem they're going to learn that the ways of the City aren't quite the ways of the Black Spot. With Saten and Ishiyama... well, Kami knows how to draw splatter scenes. And there's more confirmation that Cruz is Needless, with Saten saying "it even helps some of us awaken), which I'm going to assume is why he's had such a keen interest in Cruz and watching him awaken. And with Arclight, Ishiyama, and Saten all saying something about a plan now in play... makes me wonder specifically what that plan is, since it doesn't sound lie it's the Needless Hunt.

[Ynot]

Great to see you've been able to translate the chapter this fast again Js06. Thanks!

Spoiler for 91:

So why would Arclight want to impersonate the prime minister? To change or introduce laws which the real pm wouldn't have agreed on, to simply hide the fact the real one is dead or something else all together? And then there's Ishiyama's invitation to Blade to come to the city before. Looks to me like the invitation is part of the plan.

Okay here's a wild theory taking into account the canisters we've seen in chapter 90. Fighting Needless in the city would convince the population the current measures aren't enough to keep Needless inside Blackspot. The prime minister could use this as an excuse to allow research and use of clone soldiers. Of course the clone soldier would have to be changed to become as powerful as the Needless they will be fighting against....thus giving Arclight/666 committee all the opportunity to test and experiment as much as they could possibly want.

Spoiler for 91:

what a mindblowing chapter,doesnt need to much translation it seems and most of it is action. Wish to see some more of Cruz. Seems like hes gonna be tagteaming with Mio again? (judging from the cover/first page)

[Kon the Magnificent]

Thanks Ynot for the chapter and js06 for the translation

Spoiler for Needless 91:

So, if Saten said is true, and the Eden helps Needless awaken, what if the pill Disk had Blade give Cruz, stopped him from awakening (if he is a Needless, something we all believe to be true)

Spoiler for spoiler:

Make sense and if we think about what people think of Needless in two years from now(thanks Needless to 1.5), it makes me think that what happens here will make ordinary people more racist against Needless.
And as you said this will give to 666 and Arclight much more freedom for the Needless hunt and for all the experiments they want to do.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

But this does not make sense, I am sure that if Blade and Eve discovered that Yamada is beginning to awaken as Needless they will do anything to help this process and not try to stop this process.
I mean ,Yamada live in the Black spot and the best way to survive there is to be an Needless.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Not if Disc discovered something vital that deals with Cruz and why she wanted Cruz to take the pill. The plans Archlight and Saten was talking about could possibly have to do with Cruz. Or possibly Aruka, but who knows, there's a possibility and Needless, trying to guess what's going to happen is nearly impossible

[Homura7]

Soji is right, Kon.

Spoiler for spoiler:

The apple takes full effect seconds after being injected, so, considering the amount of time that passed since then, I think it's safe to say Cruz isn't human anymore.

As for the pill, no one knows why they made him take that. Though Blade said it's "a test".

[Avvesione]

Spoiler:

The pill from Chapter 90 could be anything really. Nothing in this chapter presented any evidence to support any idea of what that pill might've contained. The only ones who can answer that are Disk, Blade, and Eve and they won't answer that question until Cruz asks them (or we see something happen to Cruz).

But we did learn about the contents of the syringe that Ishiyama injected into Eve. Strange that Disk wasn't able to recognize Eden's Apple when it was right before her. Oh well.

[Skieth]

Thank you Adan for the raw, and thank you jso6 for the translation.

Spoiler for spoiler:

I still believe that the only purpose of the pill was to knock Cruz unconscious so he wouldn’t go with the others into the city. I don’t believe that blade and the others would give Cruz something that has the potential to kill or change him without strait up telling him. Remember Disk initially wanted Cruz to take the pill without his knowledge.

As to the chapter, the city looks great, but something did look really off with the general public. Just from the way they look, it’s like they were in a daze or something. Also interesting revel for Triple Six, wonder what Ishiyama meant when he said the world ends…

[shadowii]

Wow i dont know what i was expecting but it was not this.
IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!

Spoiler for 91:

guys its not so bad with cruz not being in one single chapter
"putting bad breath on it increases its power!"
culture shock on the other side of the wall (less funny as i can see this situation in certain parts of the world)
so did arclight just take over japan!? and ishiyama works with him!?
and...saten called arclight "nii-san"
by the way i dont want to bring up bad memories but for a few differences this did remind me of that episode in the anime when saten killed those guys

[Homura7]

Oh, you don't need to worry about that anymore. The way they were killed serves a purpose unlike in the anime, and Ishiyama is needless, so yeah.

Also...

Spoiler for spoiler:

Someone said that pill was to prevent Cruz from going to City. No, that doesn't make any sense, because soon he's going to wake up and obviously will go there. Hell, Blade and co. already cleaned the path for him, the gates are destroyed and the gatekeepers knocked. How that prevents him from following them anyways? It also doesn't make sense that they are doing that to protect him, because leaving him behind and all alone is, certainly, not the best of the ways.

Blade said the following:

http://www.mangahere.com/manga/needl...2/c090/24.html

"Just take it. You want to help us out, right?"

They were giving Cruz a test. As for the content of the pill, none of us can guess it right now.

[Ca12nag3]

Spoiler for 91:

People dont read to much in Blades words yet. He could just as easily have been lieing. Also Cruz cant go to the city on his own. Another thing is Mio is also left behind so its possible Blade asked her (again) to take care of him.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

I understand what you mean, but I think you're forgetting something important Blade knew that now Yamada knew that they wanted to go to the city , leaving him behind and as well about the pill (although Yamada does not know what effect the pill have) So Blade had not no reason to lie about the pill, I would say that we can say that Blade was honest when he said that to Yamada.
Another thing that seems you forget is ,if the pill really only had the effect to knock out Yamada,why at least we readers have not seen the full conversation between Disk ,Eve and Blade?
Why do not we have seen at least once during this ch Yamada ko?
All this suggests to me that the pill plays a role far more important than just knock Yamada out.
As for Mio is possible, but I doubt, if you think about ,if Mio knew of all this do you think she would be a good girl and stay in the black spot?
I very much doubt, so I'm sure that blade did not say anything to Mio, and Mio will finds herself having to take care a faint Yamada and not knowing where Blade and the others are.

Spoiler for spoiler:

I agree. Disk wanted Blade to subtlety give Cruz that pill, I imagine slipped in some food or liquid. However there is nothing subtle about Blade. Its completely in his character to strait up give him the pill knowing that he's helping to keep him alive somehow. Mio's been left behind, so Cruz has somebody to protect him if he gets into trouble.

I'm expecting that Cruz will wake up in a few days, giving Blade and the others plenty of time (in their mind) to have dealt with Arclight and the others. I get the feeling just from what was said at the end of chapter 90 that they believe this might be a suicide mission, another reason not to bring Cruz, Triple Six knows their coming, so there's a good chance they might be captured, and Cruz might have to lead a rescue.

[Homura7]

Spoiler for spoiler:

First of all, Blade wasn't trying to lie to Cruz. He just said "if you want to help us, then take this".

So the question that remains is, which is the pill's content and what purpose it serves.

[Avvesione]

We do know one of the effects of the pill and that was to knock Cruz out. However, the pill had to have a further effect than that.

If the pill's sole purpose was to knock Cruz out to prevent him from tagging along, then why not do something more dramatic in that scene? Why not have Blade challenge Cruz to a battle only for him to use Maiden Restriction and then just leave him there? That would look much cooler than just giving him a simple capsule. The fact that it was a pill means something else is going on. What it is, exactly, we won't know because there have been zero developments aside from Cruz fainting (rather suddenly). And as we already know, trying to guess at what happened will only result in another incorrect answer.
