The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer

Spoiler for Chapter 61:

Huh, lots of nostalgic flashbacks this chapter. And Asahina thinking that she completely read Yuuhi's personality for a while and knew it would turn out this way? Clever girl.

No idea what was up with Yuuhi grabbing that spear though. It doesn't really fit with his inherited techniques AFAIK. Though maybe I missed something in a chapter I skipped.

Anima giving him that assist at the end surprised me, though I suppose I should have expected it.

Spoiler for 61:

Actually that spear was basically his conviction given material form from when he was running towards the Blues Drive Monster's control button. Domain control is powered by conviction so by taking that spear with him, he took the conviction he needed to steal the power of the Invisible from Yayoi. Anima didn't give the ability to him, Yuuhi TOOK it through sheer determination. Yuuhi is officially the Anti-Hero turned Hero of the story.

Chapter 50 was great, for the revelation of "Airspace Control: Babylon" and the appearance of Inkoman.

It's everyone's favorite superhero, bitches! The knights are screwed.

Chapter 50 was wow. I'm really feeling the desire to reread this from the beginning all at once. I love this manga.

I hope Transfade add some TN about each knight domain name.

Babylon => Celestial garden => ??

Edit: @ Sol Falling, Babylon refers to the ancient city of Mesopotamia famous for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
The actual kanji for Yuuhi´s domain is 天の庭 (something like Celestial garden/yard) but the reading is marked as バビロン
(babiron) I dont know if this "Celestial garden" has any another meaning in Japanese, maybe in mythology, and all of the knight´s domains names are like this, kanji domain name with one meaning, but the reading marked with other meaning.

[Sol Falling]

lol. Anima was super sexy this chapter. It was kinda weird...she was always hot before, but I still never thought of her that way until now...

Does 'Babylon' have some sort of mythological connection to 'wisdom'? That's basically what I understood in terms of where the name came from. What does 'Celestial Garden' refer to--was that the kanji?

Inkoman, haha, wow. I actually don't precisely remember the incident the translator's note was talking about, though--that's why I'm rather grateful the note was there. Still, that's just one more little thing persistently poking me to reread this awesome manga.

[Wrath88]

Pretty smart of Yuuhi to come up with something like that. It's not as visible, plus with its ability to widen the gap between his and his enemies' movement, he can probably land a few good hits with it as an opening.

[Grey]

Insightful question by Yuuhi to Akitani! Asking him "when is it". Anima either has superb illusions, or she's doing crazy bending of time and life. Akitani was insightful too. His answer shows he's from a time before he died, but asking "How are the kids doing?" suggests that he knows the world has moved on without him.

Hoshi no Samidare really has some extreme outliers for characters. The world feels like it's mostly normal, but then there's Akitani who could see the future and lived for centuries. And then there's Anima and Animus. Hangetsu was a bit abnormal too.

[Xacual]

It shows that Yuuhi realized that the fight that Shinonome mentioned happening in his dream was what he had just done, despite the fact that for him it had happened months ago. So yeah I'd say Anima is pretty good at bending the world as she needs it, much like Animus.

Edit: Also an interesting thought I just had, did Shinonome decide to leave his skills to Yuuhi after having this "dream"? Also I missed it on my first read through but Yuuhi tells Shinonome not to save him even if he looks like he'll die during the next golem attack, which is exactly what happened after Shinonome told Yuuhi about the dream

This might be a fight in the Time Chamber (or what´s it called again), in order for Yuuhi to gain SS. . .

you can never know D:

and damnstraight i was right with this assumption.

i mean, like literally

Most likely, he can wish whenever he wants, right? Also Yuuhi thought that Shinonome is the guy who would save him anyways, which was what he did later on.

Anima was super sexy this chapter.

Why did she have to take off the bunny suit?

Inkoman looks like one weird....thing 0_o I can't think of anyone being stronger than Magical Mary though, randomness and power beat any plan to the ground.

It was that chapter where Yuuhi brought Subaru and Yuki over to his house and Mikazuki called him a kidnapper.

With the way hero's have been displayed in this story, i can see Inkoman being pretty damn strong. Great homage to the genre.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. One of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. Your post made me think of that.

Unfortunately, apparently they're called バビロンの空中庭園 in Japanese, which uses a less "heavenly" word for the "sky garden." It's probably still a reference though.

[Wrath88]

Hanging is meaning its suspended in the air, and the if you read the kanji as 'garden of the sky', you can see the connection.

[Xacual]

I probably shouldn't have but I found some translated chapters of 60 and 61. 51-59 need to come out faster so I can understand what took place in between!

Spoiler for Chapter 60:

Seeing Yuuhi taking out Yayoi and Nagumo, followed by Shimaki, in less than a minute was pretty awesome. Of course Yayoi and Nagumo get back up but the scene was still awesome.

wat is it?
I mean his real name or something
nothing mysterious? just guy who can see future? >_>
(doubts that one)

[Xacual]

He became a psychic in his childhood and then gained access to the akashic records so he learned everything there was to learn. So its not like he could see the future, the records just contain everything that ever was or will ever be.
