Prepares "Trying to Connect UQ Holder to Negima Alarm" in case that happens, especially if there's a reference to Touta's great-grandmother (yes, Konoka is part of the Library Exploration Club).

It's already plenty connected yo. He is a Konoe after all. Btw by his parents birthday, it's more likely Konoka is his great-grandmother. As his mom was born in 2050, so if she was Konoka child it would means Konoka having a children at around age 61, if his father is Konoka's child then she would have had him at 51 to 57 years old (he was born in 2040 or 2046, and latter reports seems to think it was most likely 2046 on the grave). Both cases are a bit too late to have a children.

Thanks. I fixed my previous post to reflect this information.

I think Karin wanted to play croquet and simply decided to use Kuroumaru and Touta as balls. *nods*

I'm not sure this multi-year test will play out, though it could. Either way, it is an interesting way of putting Eva on the sidelines, even if for a bit.

He seems to be the member of the 12 on first chapter that looks like Negi/Nagi, yeah.

The chapter also exploded a fan theory I read that I liked i.e. that four of the guys in the first chapter were his childhood friends all grown-up.

Well they still could be. This univesrse does have time travel in it. Ok maybe they aren't

Interesting reaction from Karin. Given that she reincarnates I wonder if she recognizes Touta from a past life.

Now I'm pondering a possible scenario where it's revealed along the way this Evangeline has actually gone more actually evil than in Negima (maybe because of losing her Ala Alba Morality Pets) and has just gathered the team because of some dark purpose.

The last chapter had me think about that a bit, though I didn't mention it in my review of the chapter. I'm thinking I'll keep an eye open for a more darker purpose in UQ Holder.

On other topics, Akamatsu-sensei is NOT happy with the early scanlations we are getting here and has posted as much on Twitter.

Doubtful as Eva has never been remotely as evil as she claims. Remember she still felt unredeemable for the only person she killed in anger 500 years later (and that was the bastard that turned ber into a vampire, hinted to be life maker) it was also stated in her spell descriptions that shewould only kill the bounty hunters that displayed no mercy or hesitation in atacking her with the intent to kill as a child. The vast amount of her fame as an evil vampire is because she grand stands to get people to leave her alone as she has major trust issues.

Actually I think most of her evil fame came from the past where she wasn't strong enough. She probably had to kill a lot of people to protect herself, and sometimes even because letting they get away means they would bring many more against her and she wasn't strong enough that she didn't need to care who would come as she can handle them like now.

Also by saying that she settled in a remote island when she finally was able to live by herself without needing anyone means she probably had to steal things a lot in the earlier days. There isn't many ways available for a little girl to get money, explaining her situation wasn't really an option. And even if she was able to settle somewhere with other people, she could only stay for a couple of year or so before people started wondering about her unchanging appearance.

apart from those senators who tried to kill negi's mother(and they were really only background character),i don't remember any evil character or antagonist(chao)in negima who wasn't redeemed one way or another-even the lifemaker was described by asuna as a sad,pitiful existence:that's no just true for just eva,a vampire,but even for most of the demon we've seen.
and touta is even more anoying than naruto

*Ahem Tsukuyomi- Aaaahem Quartum- Aaaaahemmmm Secundum, cough cough cough*

Regarding Evangeline, people can change a whole lot in more than sixty years and after losing their Morality Pets. Hell, not showing Eva a changed person beats the point of a long timeskip for her. We know she has changed, but we've seen too little of her to know exactly how. I wouldn't discard anything yet.

technically he was not evil, since he didn't kill anyone (or only few people) to save the magic world human
(no latter how real they look they are not alive but illusion)

But that's a thing that is very common in Japanese manga and animation. You don't tend to have a truly evil by nature villain. Most of them tend to have a back story that turned them in such a thing, some kind of ends justify the means, someone who wanted to do something good but lost his way in the middle, etc.

EDIT: although true, those 3 are the most near that kind of character.

Unfortunate, but understandable, and not surprising. Unfortunately, getting speed scan groups to delay things is a semi-futile proposition.

The early scanlation is due to leaked raw, nothing one can do about it since most people don't know where it leaked from, rather than futile, it's better to said that's pointless since there are too many printing process to check them all and even if you check it all, there are no guarantee if you can find it.
