Well, while it seems like the series is close to it's end, I think it applies only to this season / arc.
It was even lampshaded by Inner Moka's statement, from the latest chapter, that it is only the beginning of the road to create a world where coexistence between humans and ayash is possible, and I think that the Masked King is going to represent the forces that don't want something like that to occur. And I have to say that I have a slightly mixed opinion on this chapter, on one hand, it's good that Ikeda has, at least shown the rest of the characters, and that their fight hasn't been resolved yet... On the other hand, I'm kind of disappointed that Tsukune has seemingly recovered from his condition, just because he has learned that the other's are fine - well it was probably Ikeda's way of delaying this issue, since he couldn't exactly, resolve Tsukune's condition, without delaying the fight against Alucard... or making Tsukune a burden in this fight, which could result in a pretty "dangerous and fatal" situation. Still, I hope that the conclusion of the fight against Gyokuro - Alucard, won't have such a disappointing feeling... like for example, everyone being capable of killing Gyokuro, along with Alucard, and also saving Akasha in the process.... since something, like that would be a little too much to me... Even if it means, that Ikeda will go with the... more or less, predictable route, by having the protagonists, somehow using the Alucard control device to overrule Gyokuro's current control over Alucard... most likely, resulting in her death... |

...oh my Ruby... Wow, she looks good~
It had a feeling that Gyokuro was pissed at Akasha for stealing her warmongering husband and turning him into a peace-loving douche, in her mind. Still, to think that she was THAT pissed about it... women are scary. At least Issa didn't let me down, I'm happy for that. C'mon Akasha... awaken already! I want you to rip Gyokuro's arms off, sink your claws into her throat and yank her into Alucard's body to finish the job, then make your triumphant and oh-so-bloody return to the land of the living...! /end dreammode ...

Chris38@I could be wrong but it seems to me that Tsukune only earned a bit of time due to its determination...see his friend alive and here with them+not wanting to be a burden and wanting to help his friends in this fight= Tsukune ready to fight the phrase that he said to them seems more to reassure than anything else.
Also this is the second time that the author show us his right eyes that become Vampire like.(look the close up on his right eye and Moka reaction). So I think that for now Tsukune will be alright is after this fight that I'm not sure what will happen to him. |

Such a lovely flashback between Issa and Akasha, and infant Moka was so adorable.

We will also probably learn about "Outer Moka's" fate, at the same time... since, personally I don't have a huge hope about her surviving this arc, especially considering how "Inner Moka" is portrayed in the recent chapters... I know that it will, probably be portrayed as a pretty sad event, but .... well I can't see any role for Outer Moka, after the current arc ends - considering the fact that, apart from a slightly different appearance, Inner Moka is starting to show, almost the same character traits that Outer Moka had + she has more combat experience and fighting capabilities (even if it hasn't been shown in the current arc) then Outer Moka...

If Issa were to intend on showing the group how to free Akasha, he's going a strange way about it. I think he's just beginning to get pissed with Touhou. I think that could be an epic in the making. I suspect though there will be a "Is this what Akasha would have wanted" line, similar to that of a few chapters ago which brings Issa to his senses. Akasha returning would be awesome though, providing Ikeda showed her going flat out against her opponents, just to demonstrate how much stronger she is than the others. Also, is the barrier still up around the castle? I'd like to think that the city below would notice a giant castle heading for impact! |

Personally I think that Akasha's return, in the current situation would be anticlimatic rather then awesome...
After all, it would more or less, kill all the suspense the current situation has, since with the current group, we don't know if they are going to be powerful enough to defeat Gyokuro - Alucard, and somehow, prevent the Floating Garden from crushing into the human city... Since, Akasha should be strong enough (considering what she has shown in the flashback) to deal with Gyokuro and Alucard, bringing her back, at this moment, would make the conclusion of this arc a little disappointing, since it would pretty much show that the main group, still needs to depend on others to achieve their dreams... while, if Tsukune and the rest of the group, can somehow prevent the current disaster from occurring... well, to me... it would have a drastically different portrayal... It would mean that the group has gotten strong enough, to start "making" the world, where coexistence between ayashi and humans is possible... I don't know about you, but I hope that Ikeda is going to go with the later option (having the, current group of Tsukune + the rest of the girls, deal with the current situation) rather then the former one (reviving Akasha,so that she could "deal" with the current situation)...

I just want an excuse to see Akasha go all out. I don't think she even tried against Akua, and even kicking lumps out of Alucard didn't seem like it was much effort to her. In several bits of fiction, there's always one character who's abilities are talked up, but never fully demonstrated. It would be good to see, just for once. |

Scenario 1: Akasha is broken out from within Alucard but will be in no condition to fight, so while she is resting from being inside that monster, the others take up the battle against Alucard and Gyokuro on her behalf. Scenario 2: Akasha is able to burst out from within Alucard as a result of his awakening, causing her to awaken as well, but is in no condition to fight. Scenario 3: Akasha is freed after Alucard and Gyokuro are dealt by our heros and we have a lovely reunion between her and Moka. Since Alucard's resonance causes others to react with him, than no doubt she is already awaken from inside the monster, trying to decide what course of action she should take.

I agree that, considering the number of times Akasha has been mentioned in the current arc, the possibility of her returning, certainly exists... but unlike you, I'm not rising my hopes too high... |

So we know that shes alive, which is good since it would make no sense to have something "happen" to her offscreen and because of Gyokuro's explanation, we know that she can be saved from within Alucard. The only thing that would be different this time would be that Alucard is awakened, but was asleep last time Akasha was rescued.

.... and just how many members of the Shuzen family, haven't been "tainted" by Gyokuro's insanity... and might survive long enough to reveal this "method" to someone... since I think, that .... would be a pretty small number If you have Issa, in mind... he hasn't been spared by Gyokuro, considering his "current" behavior ... and is currently "busy" fighting with Tohou Fuhai, and ... it's up to the author to decide, if he is actually going to survive this "confrontation"... and will be capable of "revealing" the method that has been used to save Akasha... |

The site, where the english chapter first appears. I think that if you follow the manga, for a long time, you should know, who "works" on this manga.
@Shinso Well, maybe you are right... but who can tell, if Gyokuro isn't aware of that... after all, so far... everything has been ... more or less, going according to her "plan". |
