Hayate no Gotoku manga (raw discussion only)

[Mentar]

We don't need the 4-komas, it explicitly happens in the manga storyline too.

Spoiler for chapter 216:

Here, Hina summons Masamune to protect Nagi against the onslaught of the monster - which turns out to be Isumi

[sr7olsniper]

I wonder how 222 will play out. I mean, right nw Hina is obviously taken aback by Hayate's words and it might affect her performance in the match.

Hmm, kinda forget the scene,

Umm,

Spoiler for scene:

In the latest chapter, out of the situation Hayate is saying that Hinagiku is a weak(more like fragile actually) girl

[sr7olsniper]

Yah, and Hina gets really embarased. Since she is on Hayate's team, i wonder how things will play out.

[Used Can]

Hayate can be an evil bastard when he wants too. I've always liked that side of him.

[kuroishinigami]

lol yea. To quote him, if it's for ojou-sama I can be evil as needed.

[Fandal]

He did try to kidnap Nagi in the first chapter? Unfortunately, he learned some stuff from his parents who well, beats everyone else in evilness. Also, how many girls wear the "Black Ribbon" Hairpiece? The author must like that

[Mentar]

I can see this play out both ways.

Spoiler:

Either it can encourage Hina to go ahead with some more courage since Hayate sees her as a "frail" girl too - it hurt her terribly before not to fall in this category.

Or - what unfortunately I consider more likely - they could hammer Gilbert, and in the end have Hayate thanking Hina and gloating that they managed to fool him into this game, essentially confirming to Hina that what Hayate said before wasn't truthful. And this could be pretty traumatic for Hina: To learn that Hayate doesn't see her as "frail" at all. A big setback for her, but something she might have to come to accept.

Let's be real, Hina isn't frail. The opposite: When Hayate and Hina rushed down to rescue Nagi and Hamster, they split up without thinking. People who are with Hina are "safe", as safe as they'd be with Hayate. When Hayate ran along holding hands with Hamster and Nagi, it was because these two needed protection, while Hina is someone who GIVES protection.

I think that Hina will have to learn to accept that she doesn't need to be frail to be charming as a girl. And that she's perfectly fine the way she is. It would be more truthful a development than giving her an attribute which simply doesn't fit. But if it does happen (I think it will), this will be a very bitter pill for her to swallow initially.

[sr7olsniper]

Well i think she doenst see it that way. I beleive that even Hina wants to be saved my the guy she loves. When Hayate said she was frail, it gave her some confidence imo. Besides, we do know that Hayate likes the strong mature type over the clumsy naive type, which is a big plus for Hina. I wonder how thngs will sort up at the end. Well just have to wait for chapter 222

[primuler]

Spoiler for A small realization that everypne noticed already:

So Maria does admit that Hayate is cute(chap 221)

For those who don't know: It's nothing special. Maria just said "Hayate-kun, his face is cute but he doesn't go easy on him(Gilbert)..."

[sr7olsniper]

haha, well weve seen maria take a likin in Hayate for a long time. Not to mention Hayate is almost as Cute as a girl, hehehe.

[SimplyBill]

Well, Hayate is a sadist and a lolicon according to Hinagiku.

[Fandal]

What is Hina's most powerful fight scene in this manga? The only one I can think of is the clocktower but I'm sure there's more.
Did Nagi ever get over her "I can never be like her [Hina]" insecurity?

Has anyone compiled a list of Hayate's jobs yet?

Lol truthfully that actually fits Hayate´s character lol.

[enragedjacquescouste]

He's not a lolicon...he doesn't love Nagi or any of the other characters her age in any romantic sense...

[Used Can]

Well, he's only 3 years older than Nagi. Although, yes, he behaves as if he was her father. Hata can always change that, but 221 chapters in, I really wonder if doing this kind of change would be a good idea. I think Maria, Hina and A-tan are better suited for that role.

Anyway, for the next chapter, I wouldn't be surprised if Hina doesn't play well because she'll want to look frail. However, at some point, she'll realise what really happened and easily win the match. Then, she'll probably beat the living shit out of Hayate.

[sr7olsniper]

Who knows, but i can definetely picture that happening

[Fandal]

Hayate's and Nagi work better as a deep Master-Servant relationship. Hayate always mentions he owes Nagi a lot every time he does stuff for her.

[sr7olsniper]

well, one thing is certain though. The first time Ayumu confessed, the first thing that came into Hayate's mind was the picture of Nagi's sad crying face. I think there is a hidden meaning behind that one scene.
