Thanks for the summary

Spoiler for 49:

Well, in the first place, they don't have a lot of time, before Alucard is going to be fully awakened and Moka will become his lunch, and I believe that Moka being in danger, has a much higher priority of resolving compared to what happened to Yukari and Fong Fong...

Which, makes me think that, either Tsukune's group is going to split up, with one part of it moving toward, while another part of the group goes to check on Yukari on Fong Fong...

Or, less likely in my opinion, Tsukune's reinforcements come to the scene and deal with Fong Fong's and Yukari's situation - the reason, why I think it's less likely, is because unlike the situation in the Yuki Onna village, both groups have no methods to communicate with each other, so even if Gin and the others, arrive in Fairy Tale's headquarters, Tsukune's group will still have no way of communicating with them, and is still, most likely going to be split up.

The question is, who is going to come with Tsukune, and who will stay behind to help Yukari and Fong Fong ?

If , I would put any guesses, I would say that Tsukune would order the girls to stay behind, while he proceeds toward alone, since it's not in his character to endanger his friends, but I'm quite sure that the girls would be quite opposed to something like that - so, I don't know how this matter is actually going to be resolved - one thing that I'm sure about, is that the group must hurry up to where Alucard is, unless they want the whole reason, why they came here to become redundant...

Spoiler for 49:

Let's see, there is only Tsukune, Mizore and Kurumu left that have yet to fight, perhaps Kurumu and Mizore will head back to take down the 6th subdivision leader, the reason why i say Mizore and Kurumu is because it looks like its their time to fight, while Tsukune and Rudy proceed forward, but that still leaves two subdivision leaders left (still excluding Miyabi), so now it would be that time for reinforcements to start arriving, unless Tsukune is able to take them down himself or that Ruby has had time to heal to join him, but the reinforcements will arrive when it reaches a critical point, it's nearly to that point.

[Chris38]

Spoiler for 49:

Well, I think we already know who are the last two sub-division leaders - one of them, being the Samurai armor guy, who has made the roof fall on Fong Fong and Yukari, along with the guy, who Gyokuro was talking with, are in my opinion, the last two Fairy Tale sub-division leaders.

Furthermore, unlike the previous battle's I see no reason, why Mizore and Kurumu should get an individual fight, since unlike Ruby, Fong Fong and Yukari, they had plenty of development during the training arc, before the infiltration to Fairy Tale's headquarters...

Not to mention that Ikeda probably realizes that further dragging the fights against the sub-division leader's, won't make this manga more popular - while I think that the fight between Ruby and Raika and between Fong Fong and Sai-lung might be important for the future arcs, I can't think of anything that could be applied to Kurumu and Mizore, especially since, like i said earlier, they had some development during the latest training arc.

After all, we hadn't even learned what is Sai-lung's or Routier's true form, which is the reason why I think that Ikeda is slowly ending the fights against the Fairy Tale's sub-division leaders and slowly proceeding towards the main part of the current arc, which is the fight between Tsukune and Akua...

This is also the reason why, I believe the fighs against the last two Fairy Tale sub-division leaders,i won't occur - or at the very least, will happen at the same time, when Tsukune's battle against Akua begins.

At least that's how I think the current arc is going to develop, since I see no reason, why the fights against the Faairy Tale leaders should continue (besides giving Kurumu and Mizore some more development, but that can happen at any time... )

On a different topic, I wonder if the conversion that Tsukune and Moka are going to have, is going to somehow reflect on the topic that Inner Moka had with Inui (The Fake vampire) in chapter 40 of the first season, about the "true ability" of a vampire, which Tsukune has already gained or rather surpassed, since he is not only capable of changing his youkai aura to physical strength, but is also capable of using it, to form youjutsu techniques, which isn't something that an ordinary vampire is capable of...

Of course, I know that chapter 40 of the first season can be considered as a filler, but since it has been made by Ikeda, it might be mentioned in Tsukune's and Inner Moka's future conversation, especially now, after Tsukune has became more similar to an actual vampire (due to undergoing the human modification ritual)... which is something, that is definitely going to surprise Inner Moka.

[Tachibana]

The conversation between Ura and Tsukune should be interesting

Oh, yummy Kurumu. I swear, it's a miracle that she's still a virgin, and I'd say that's pretty unusual for a succubus. But it looks like they upped her breasts a couple of cup sizes there.

Wonder where is our Kurumu lover gone to this holiday season?

Spoiler for Chapter 49 clarification:

Courtesy of ChuukaIdai

Chapter 49 Clarification
I will say this once: the masked figure's actual name is "The King of Masks" (仮面の王), while the Samurai dude is Revenant: Refined Skeleton (幽鬼骸煉, Youki: Gairen), Leader of the 6th Subdivision of Fairy Tale.

In the flashback, the King of Masks first shows Xia-Long the vast expanse of China, and claims that all of this can be his if he serves the King of Masks. He also tells Xia-Long that those who betray him will suffer a painful death, then reveals the severed body parts of Xia-Long's FATHER. The King of Masks then offers the position of leader of the Miao family to Xia-Long as a gift.

After the near-handshake between Xia-Long and Fong-Fong, Revenant Gairen appears and asks Xia-Long whether or not he wants to meet the same end as his father after siding with Fong-Fong. The enraged Xia-Long asks why he brought up the subject of his father, but Gairen melts the pillars of the room and causes the ceiling to fall in, telling him that he shall suffer the gruesome death offered to all traitors.

Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks for the clarification Alhazad2003, although...

Spoiler for 49:

... it really makes me wonder who is this "King of masks", and what is his position within the Fairy Tale organization, after all his name doesn't really fit with such a low position, as being one of the Fairy Tale's subdivision leaders...

Unfortunately, if "the king of masks" isn't one of the subdivision leaders, it implies that we haven't been introduced to the last two Fairy Tale subdivision leaders yet, and judging by the pattern Ikeda seems to go with in the recent chapters, it seems we will be introduced to them in the next few chapters, before we proceed to the more serious fights - like the fight between Akua and Tsukune for example...

After all, in my opinion this is the list of the Fairy Tale subdivision leaders that we know about:

1st: Miyabi
4th: Sai-Lung
5th: Raika
6th: Revenant: Refined Skeleton
7th: Kaede (defeated in the "Sun" arc, so it's unlikely that he will appear again)

Which, like I said, still leaves the second and third subdivision leaders unrevealed...

[Magin]

... so for those who are unaware (if anyone actually is) that volume 6 of SII is now out in stores... while I have to wait a paycheck before I can buy it, I looked through the omakes in back, and found something I find very interesting

Spoiler for just in case...:

So, I'm sure we're all aware of the infamous moe that has been overblown in anime and manga... well, Yukari basically says that "readers are confused. Is this a moe manga or not?" My immediate reaction was "Hell No!" (let me clarify something here- I don't truly hate 'moe', but it's best in small doses, not overblown like in K-on! and other similar series)... then then show a panel in which they draw everyone very cutesy, to make things more moe, and I believe the reaction is "oh no! now we can't tell anyone apart" "quick, to distinguish them, each must have their own personality traits". And I also cringed when they drew the girls 'moe' style... anyways, I just found it hilarious that the omakes made fun of 'moe', and let's hope that R+V doesn't cross that line... mostly so I can have my sexy Inner Moka

Spoiler for 49:

It looks as though we've yet to be introduced to the strongest captains. Miyabi would definitely be in first, implying that he's the strongest. I have the feeling that of all the leaders, the top three are a step beyond the others that Tsukune & friends have fought. Although I'm not sure why you placed Sai-Lung as the leader of the 4th subdivision. That's Routier's place. I'm wondering if he's the leader of another subdivision?

Spoiler:

I doubt R+V will ever go in the moe direction the way K-On and other series of its ilk have. The main reason for it is because K-On doesn't have an on going plot. The manga and the anime feels more like a collection of Omake and nothing else. R+V on the other hand has a pretty strong ongoing story that can be considered quite dramatic if not downright dark, or the potential to become dark.

Spoiler:

In the original summary, the King of Masks reveals himself to be not only the founder of the Miu family, but the founder of Fairy Tale as well. So Gyokuro's not the head honcho after all, I daresay she's merely a go between so he can control the vampires of Japan, as well as the Chinese criminal underworld, which he feels now belongs entirely to him.

And yes, I'm sure the Captains- uh I mean branch leaders of Subdivisions Two and Three (the bearded youkai and the masked swordsman) will appear shortly, most likely in the next chapter. Since Revenant Gairen was acting as clean-up after the Fong-Fong*Sai-Lung battle, he might not fight the group directly. I have a feeling he'll appear again if Akuha goes against the company agenda, so to speak. So if she shows any signs of turning against Fairy Tale, he'll be there to cut her down.

But how Miyabe's plot works into this is anyone's guess. I surmised his plan was to use Tsukune and friends to eliminate the other branch leaders and Gyokuro, so he'd be the only authority in Fairy Tale left. But now the King of Masks has appeared, and I doubt he'll appreciate this probable coup being staged. We saw what he did to Sai-Lung's father for acting against his best interests, one of Miyabe's contingent could be next. Can't wait to find out either way.

Spoiler:

Nope, Routier was actually the deputy leader of Subdivision Four, much like Kiria's second-in-command at Subdivision One.

As for the strongest ones haven't appeared yet, I wholeheartedly agree. Though I'd say Raika and Kamiya were a lot stronger than Sai-Lung, so I doubt branch number is indicative of strength. Though we'll definitely see soon enough, I'm sure. Until then...

[Chris38]

Spoiler for 49:

Well, considering the population of vampires in the Fairy Tale's headquarters, I doubt that the king of masks plans of controlling the vampire race, are going well.

Most likely, there is someone (Issa) who is quite opposed to the King of masks plans, and since he had quite an influential position among the vampire race, it might be possible that most of the vampires have went into hiding, along with Issa.

Of course, the second possibility, is that the vampires in Fairy Tale are relocated to a much more higher defended place, which is the "real" (main) headquarters of Fairy Tale, since I'm starting to doubt that the floating garden is the main headquarters of the Fairy Tale organization, because it doesn't seem that there founder (and most likely the "real" leader of the organization is present there.

Although, we will, probably need to wait a few chapters, before we will learn what is actually the case on the actual position of the vampire race in this conflict...

Still, the current chapters revelations definitely mean that this arc won't be the last arc of the R+V manga, since even if Tsukune and company destroy the Floating Garden (which has a strong possibility of occurring), it probably won't mean the complete destruction of the Fairy Tale organization, leaving an antagonist for Tsukune's third year at the Youkai Academy.

[Tachibana]

Spoiler for 49:

I agree with Chris38 about Fairy Tales lack of support from the vampire race, i thought out of the all the monsters in R+V, that they would support Fairy Tale, but they do not, thats good to know.

Issa was indeed an influential figure amoung vampires as well as head of the most powerful family of vampires to exist, they no doubt follow him instead of Gyokuro, besides he also follows Akasha's idea of peace, not to mention if you consider the vampires in Moka's memory flashback they're actually a decent race in the R+V universe, this probably has something to do with Alucard's rampage over 200 years earlier, perhaps the incident with Alucard changed their race somehow, but they still hold their old traditions.

If Issa himself is ever discovered, i have no doubts in my mind that he to would be an ally to Tsukune and friends.

[DragoZERO]

Not another masked villain... *sigh*

[ShiroiRyu]

Spoiler for 49:

Normal it's only 21 pages.
Two weeks without pages.
The other monthly is like that.
But Masked king ?!

[zibi88]

I wonder what if gyokuro needs to follow this masked king order or he will wipe out their entire race... so kinda he threatened her with this...

what if the masked king first went to issa to make the deal but he refused.. and so masked king killed him in front of everyone... so those who would not follow he would kill so in order to protect the vampire race she needs to cooperate...

but I think that its more possible that gyokuro had a power greed and started to work with this guy to get what she wants... maybe issa rejected the offer and was inprisoned or killed and gyokuro took the charge... when the masked king talks gyokuro's eyes are really empty somehow maybe he controls her...

and that masked king figure... tentacles kinda similar to allucard... maybe those egs that were attached to the ice tree are releated to him... like in order to live he needs to consume energy and so those eggs are like energy drainers...

other question is what is his relantionship with funai... it was stated he hates him the most in the world... so lets see how it will turn out and who is this guy anyway... maybe masked king loved akasha... but she choiced other people and went angry and so he wants to get his anger on moka (and the same akasha who might be aware inside alucard and see her child be killed)

hmm I was wondering what the next fight migh be... ok the ghost samurai might go against kurumu or mizore.... so what about tsukune...

first he might go against miyabi but he betray's gyokuro and lets tsukune pass... than we will get tsukune vs akuha... than moka wakes up and she gets the fight against akuha as a payback for what she did to her in the past and maybe what she did to tsukune.... allucard close to waking up... maybe gyokuro shows up and gets to fight tsukune... later there might be moka + akuha vs gyokuro... gyokuro loses... masked king appears... he fights everyone but then funai appears and fights him.... at the end of it alucard wakes up and he goes that even if he lost he still won...

and at the end of the fight steak we will get everyone vs alucard... which mostly focuses on combination of tsukunes power and moka (like the prophecy fortold)... well maybe the manga will end with outside moka disappearing but promising that they will be reunited one day... tsukune ends up with inner silver moka (and maybe with other girls as polygamy XD)... they have a child daugher that looks exacly like outside moka (like she said that one day they will be reunited together)...


but still till this happens it will be 1-2more years XD

[Von Himmel]

Guessing that the masked king seemed to hate Touhou Fuhai...maybe he's somewhat like Alucard's ally that fightside alongside him against Moka's mother and Fuhai

[Chris38]

Well, first of all, the previous chapter (most specifically the Yuki Onna village arc) have implied that Issa is still alive...

Second of all, I doubt Moka is going to assist Tsukune in defeating Akua, since that would definitely cause Alucard to awaken, and like I said earlier, even if the group works together I doubt that they would be capable of defeating him.

Not to mention, I think that, if Tsukune wouldn't be capable of defeating Akua on his own, then the entire training arc, before the infiltration to Fairy Tale's HQ would be a little redundant, if he still wouldn't be capable of defeating a strong opponent on his own - after all, we have already seen Tsukune working together with Sun to defeat Kaede (who at that time, was definitely a strong opponent ), so him needing Moka's help to defeat Akua would fell like a repeat of that - in other words that Tsukune, still hasn't reached a level where he would be capable of dealing with strong opponents.

On the matter of who is going to fight the Yuki Gairen - well, I doubt it's going to be anyone from Tsukune's group, since apart from him and Miyabi (who I doubt, is going to fight against Tsukune and his friends, due to having his own plans) there are two other subdivision leaders + Gyokuro, Akua and ... Kahula...

Basically, what I want to say, is that there is a very strong chance that Tsukune's group reinforcements (in the form of Gin, Haiji, Kokoa, Ling Ling and probably Tohou Fuhai + maybe even the headmaster of Youkai Academy) are going to arrive at the Floating Garden, and they will be the ones, who will deal with the rest of Fairy Tale subdivision leaders + Gyokuro, while Tsukune's group proceeds toward Moka and Akua... most likely having to deal with Kahula on the way, and she might be the one, who Mizore and Kurmu will need to fight with...
