(Reads posts)... well, the crazy Aeon talk and even crazier speculations are starting, we must be close to either an announcement or this is the calm before the storm of the next volumes release, so with that said I'm out of here until I hear anything about NT.11 (if it is releasing this year).

I'm no joking, the sales are good, but not as good as the previous tanks. Like I said before, the franchise is dying on its popularity slowly. |

But damn, this reminds of when Murata redraws the initial fights of One Punch Man into something even more ridiculously amazing (can anybody say moon jump? ). |

But there are a few posibilities for which dragon(s) it could be: Yamata no Orochi (Japanese Myth) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamata_no_Orochi I think that most people know about this one. It's an eight headed and eight tailed dragon in a famous japanese myth. It's noted to have been slayed by Susanoo. It's also the only one I have found that is specifically noted to have 8 heads. So this is the most likely candidate for the thing in Touma's arm. The Lernean Hydra (Greek Myth) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra Most people here likely already know about this one. Vasuki (Hindu Myth) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasuki Something cool about this one is that it is known as one of the "Eight Great Naga Kings", and has a gem on it's head. If you look at the cobra looking dragon in the illustrations, you'll notice that it looks to have a gem or some sort of jewel on it's head. Aždaja (Slavic Myth) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_dragon An interesting note about Aždaja is that in Christian mythology, St. George is described as slaying the this dragon. And we get quite a bit of reference about saint george in this series. |

There are theories in certain forums that each head of the dragon come from different myths, they were shown to have form due to the filters placed on the world. This caused the invisible thing to take form of the dragons in different myths around the world, or it is also possible that the myths were built around the invisible thing in the first place and it is people's perception of it that created the myth of the dragons.
Either way that is one cool dragon, every head is pretty handsome. I'm hoping that Kamachi explains this later, but since he always does a lot of foreshadowing and don't fill in until very later (like the magic god in old testament 1 only showed up in new testament) this would probably be only explained by the major players (magic gods, will, aleister or aiwass). Kamachi have a lot of holes to fill this one, and where Tsuchimikado went after the event of new testament 7. If this goes on we might have a new series after new testament, called apocalypse (or something like that). If this is the manga artists idea, it certainly isn't a smart one but we can just glimpse over it, but if this is Kamachi's idea then this is one hell of a plot hole he needs to fill.

I honestly think that the whole 8 heads thing is a huge red herring to lead people to Yamata no Orochi. Kamachi would never make it that obvious. At the same time, it also would be explained by the above theory.

My GOD... Touma just passed the maximum level of Garness, I see a winged dragon... Quetzalcoatl? Pixiv is going to go mad when they release this volume.

I would like to think of that. Quote:
The sad truth. But I think that's not realistic. Kamachi won't be able to stretch the franchise by that much. Or else it would be like One Piece where Oda dies and the series never got an end.(No, Oda isn't dead... yet) |
