Oi, I don't know if this was brought up, but... I wonder if Saten is really dead. Thinking back during previous events anyone can see he's the deceiving type. While his body was completely destroyed, we mustn't forgert a few important things. For one, Kasumi's body was there. For the other it seemed to me Saten was telling Blade his intentions the same way he did with Eve into allowing her to reviving Cruz back then.

And here's where it comes what bugs me most. Whatever unfinished business Saten had with Cruz. I guess Imai saved all this for the second part.

Yeah, I can't help but have the feeling Saten let him win. When you think about, could those clones really have spread throughout the world. As the manga stated, only the rich and wealthy could afford them. That's the minority really. You couldn't erase most of humanity and turn them into needless by targeting the minority. Also, as you said, Kasumi's body was present, and she suddenly disappeared in the last few chapters. I had the crazy idea he implanted his consciousness in her empty body. Otherwise, no way she' survived the angel's onslaught if she was brain dead.

Yeah, we never truly understand why Saten stopped Aruka in shelter 3, or protected him in Eve's Story. Truly, we have to wait until Part 2, and the patience for that is tremendous.

One thing I want to mention. Whenever anyone's had a brain operation. They usually end up bald with bandages due to having the hair removed, and incisions made. My point is Cruz went to Menogroze for an injury. If the chip was implanted at that time, wouldn't he have noticed at least the fact his head was tampered with, because he'd notice his head bandaged. You could argue the injury dealt with his head, but I don't think so, because the image of it doesn't show it. Also, that kind of internal injury is rare from physical damage, and Cruz has proven to have fast regenerative capabilities. I just wanted to point it out, and have everyone's opinion.

Needless 16 arrived.

No news on Imai Kami's next project but here are some goodies:

That's Imai's next manga? For real? Or are you trolling us XD

Yeah, that one's a joke manga... but I mean, if it were to come out, I wouldn't mind =P

Kurohane · 2013-09-28, 16:57

^ Cruz as a magical girl? I wouldn't mind that either.

Edit: Why does that dress look so much like Mio's. First a character that looks like a combination of Mio and Cruz in that web manga, and now Cruz wearing cloths similar to Mio's. You wonder if this is intentional by Imai-san.

I have to start importing these volumes. I'm missing out on so much.

What exactly do you mean Blade learns an important fragment yet he uses it earlier? That makes it confusing. How can he learn a fragment he already knows?

Thanks for sharing, Avvesione.

Homura7 · 2013-09-28, 18:24

The fragment Blade "learns" is most likely Agni Schiwatas, but just like with Flame, he learned it fully. Remember when the Stigmata suddenly appeared on his right hand and we were all wondering when and how did he learn it, in the same chapter Blade learns Aegis Shield?

This reminds me, Blade never did manage to unleash the full potential of Saten's fragment, the Fifth Wave.

Avvesione · 2013-09-29, 20:01

Funny you should mention that Kurusu...

Here are the 10 new pages found in Volume 16. They are in order between page 26 and page 27 of Chapter 112.

I also apologize about the quality but these are the best I can do at the moment.

Spoiler:

Also, some two bonus pics from the back cover of previous volumes, not sure if I've shared or not. They're two of my favorites, so here they are, too.

Xiammes · 2013-10-03, 09:09

Holy crap those are nice pages, I wonder if they will be uploaded.

Homura7 · 2013-10-03, 10:05

Wait just a second! The last page, that last panel... isn't that what I think it is?

Kurohane · 2013-10-06, 18:16

^ Fifth Wave? Then yes, you are not seeing things.

His next manga (that you can read in English) is Shirasunamura. Same group who were doing Needless just released the first chapter.

Thanks for the link and the update! Glad to see it's being scanlated now. Hope to see a lot of us over there for discussions on this manga when its popularity picks up.

Going back to Needless, UJ released an interview with Kami yesterday. I can't read Japanese, so I haven't read it but it seems to be pretty lengthy and hopefully detailed. Here are the links to the 2-page interview:

Well, I dunno if someone will offer to translate. However, there's a certain word in that interview that drew a wide smile in my face.

Quote:

イヴが「田」の付くあだ名ばっかり他人につけるのは、ブレイドの素体となった少年の名が「御『田』静馬」だったためだっていう設定があったんですが、本編ではページの都合で駆け足になってしまい、うまく伝わったか心配です。なので、ここで紹介しておきますね。
脳をいじられたために、長期的な記憶力が持てない体質となったイヴですが、記憶を凍結する前に忘れないと誓った「御田静馬」の「田」だけ覚えていて、「田」のつく名前だけは忘れないようになったんです。だから誰にでも「田」のつくあだ名をつける様になった、というわけです。
あと、ページの都合で描けませんでしたが、未央と女装クルスの珍道中（冒険篇、第8巻＃51～第9巻＃63 ）はもうちょっとアイデアを用意していました。例えば、アルカに怨みのある解放軍の残党にクルスが襲われたり……ドラマＣＤで登場したクロシェットが出てきたり……と。未使用のエピソードは次回作や、いつか亜式や妙華が登場する『ＮＥＥＤＬＥＳＳ２』を描く時のためにとっておきますー。

No need for explanations

Remember Mizuha. the mysterious founder of the Resistance? I know who she is.

I suppose it counts as a spoiler, technically. But I can't tell you why it's a spoiler, because that in itself would be a spoiler.
