I reckon Sousuke will have to leave Kaname at school by herself as her friends will not forgive him so easily, He will then carry on fighting amalgam by himself (1 man team).
After awhile Kaname will get a hold of Tessa and get her to find Sousuke so she can find him and give him a fan to the back of the head, and forcibly make him return to her side at school (by then his classmates should have somewhat forgiven him, maybe)

What I really hope happens is that Kaname (now that she's getting back to her own self) comes down hard on Sousuke if he shows retiscience in returning to Jindai. I hope that just as he's made the vow to return her to Jindai, Kaname makes a parallel vow to him that she's taking him back with her. (I especially want this after re-watching that entire Ep. 6 clip I posted on the last page -- that was a Kaname who wasn't going to take "no" from her man.) I want to see Kaname "save" and "protect" Sousuke in her own way: by keeping him in the civilian world. Just think of what a tender scene it would make if Sousuke and Kaname go back to the school, both extremely nervous, and go to their class's room. Kaname would shyly go in and Sousuke would stay outside. He would then start to head home, feeling that he was no longer welcome, but Kaname would catch his hand and softly pull him back into the classroom (making the point that she wants him there and he belongs there). Also, the Jindai students--and especially their class--may actually be missing Sousuke. Despite everything that's happened, they still thought of Sousuke as their friend and their initial anger may have dissipated with his long absence. And, frankly, Jindai may have become really boring without a certain mercenary's regular disruptions . It could also be that in hindsight many of the students could see that Sousuke saved their lives on many occasions -- what do you think Ono-D and the others will think once Kyouko tells them how he saved her life? It can go quickly positive with the Jindai reunion, transitionally positive, or negative depending on how Gatou wants it to happen. Last edited by Hussar67; 2007-01-08 at 09:45. |

hey, i really like your assumptions. I agree with you that the students will have to notice that sousuke saved their lifes many times. it would be great if it ended like that!
i've got a question: (dunno if the novels revealed that) is there any reason why kalinin works for amalgam? I always thought he fought for Sousuke and he seemed to me like his "dad" in some way. maybe i'm just distracted by his "grandpa" looks, but isn't there any way that kalinin will help sousuke after all? |

Don't forget that Sousuke went back to school after the fight in Tokyo and Kaname's kidnapping in order to direct the blame for the hostage situation at himself, because he couldn't bear the thought of all that animosity and anger directed at her.
He said very clearly that it was all his fault, and not to blame her, and to welcome her back when he returns her to school. Regardless whether they both return or just Kaname returns (because I believe Sousuke will keep his promise, even if she only returns for a day to say 'I'm all right') she's missed months of school. Not that this matters to Kaname, what with her mile-a-minute-mind, but Mithril no longer has the money and influence to get her back into the high school easily, and she'd have a hard time explaining her absence on a college application. I get the feeling that some of these 'real life' concerns will be left undealt-with by the end of the novel, but I'm a big detail person and things like that catch my notice and keep me awake at night. |

well its not really sousuke's fault but chidori's fault. sousuke is just there to protect her from being kidnapped. he is there so that that can harm her to get her whisper powers which amalgam is after. so the classmates should not get rid of sousuke bc he is making the school safer with the help of mithril.

And I can see Sosuke defending Chidori by keeping her AWAY from the military. That is a deep thought, great observation. That would be the best thing that Sosuke could do. |

ah it would be the best thing for him to do, but chidori will stop him all spiderman2-esque, with the ol' i dont want to be safe I want to be with you, or i'll take my chances.
Also, must be kiss, Chidori said after their little fight over bombs or something (she gets bitchy when she uses those damned whisper powers) that if it were a dime novel they would kiss at that moment. She also said though that they were both the best at never doing anything. I think that Sousuke will confess his feelings and kiss her, as he has changed (I'm pretty sure Chidori has as well), and now thinks for himself and acts on what he wants/needs. Maybe he'll say something like I dont care if its out of a paperback novel, then proceed to suck face. They both love eachother and they know it so why not kiss (is them not loving eachother even arguable anymore?), it'll make a very nice conclusion to what I'm sure is one of the best books I'll ever read. -Then the next book can be all Fumoffu for like 34 1/2 chapters.

LOL I was gonna say. I don't think she'd be able to do that anyway. Then again Kalinin cannot afford for Kaname to be hurt because they still got to use her abilities...I think?
Predictions (and they are just predictions): there will be one more novel chapter, Sousuke will get prepared for the final encounter with Amalgam and to rescue Chidori. Mao and the others might get new AS's in order to stand up to the newly designed generation of AS's. Im thinking if Leonard and Sousuke go at it, from the descriptions of ARX-8's destruction, Sousuke will win by far, unless we have not seen the true capabilities of the Variant. Then again when getting a new AS in anime, you tend not to lose in it, if going the way of Gundam, which it seems to be doing. In determining rescuing Chidori, it seems hard to predict (and what everyone wants to know) I'm thinking if Kalinin is really working for Amalgam or is head honcho behind it, then I think it will be a 1-on-1 gunfight/CQC, Sousuke vs. Kalinin and henchmen or something more complicated than that. The only thing I find about (CURRENT) Gundam shows is that when the problems are resolved and the guy gets the girl, there tend to be unresolved issues. Hopefully Gatoh will go the way of Wing Gundam, in which the war was fought, issues resolved, minor character aftermaths, and in terms of Sousuke's situation, become accustomed to normal life and be with Chidori. All I can say is DO NOT GO THE WAY OF THE CURRENT GUNDAM SERIES. ....... K? lol

We don't know if the ARX-8 could actually defeat the Varial so easily, as when it destroyed the Arbalest it was using mostly it's bare hands (with the exception of one weapon attack). Leonard is also most likely a LD expert so it wouldn't surprise me that in his fight with Sousuke, the first one to break through the others shield will win. Finally, flying is most certainly an advantage.

hmmm, well i kinda like the Laevatein's fighting style. it's kinda cool & awesome....in it's own a bit unrealistic way ...as for whether the fight between Laevatein & Belial, well i might say that they might be evenly matched at first but the Belial might have a few hidden tricks up it's sleeve too. plus, it can fly & Leotard isn't a complete wimp & he's also a master at controlling the LD. of course Sousuke can't be far behind, given the skill he has shown us. & if that doesn't work out, there's always Kaname, giving him the support he needs to maximise the LD's power...but in all, we can be rest assured it's gonna be 1 steel-smashing, balls-out, drawn-out fight to the finish for these 2!..good job, hunterseeker!..mighty thx ...can't wait for the next chapter!! whoo!!

Actually, I wanted to add that these new Al controlled arms is an excellent way for the author to exemplify what exactly it is that makes the Laevateinn/Arbalest so powerful... the unparalleled A.I.
The fact that it is capable of forming it's own decisions and aiding it in battle automatically give it an edge in a fight. These extra arms just take it a step further. Think about it, without Al, they would be completely worthless. You could try to argue and say that Arastols have independent movement, but they are VERY primitive when compared to Al. Finally, as has been said before, it is quite likely that the Laevatein is so powerful b/c they focused on making it strong, as opposed to making it able to last a long time (seen by it's 30 hour duration) |
