I'm glad I stumbled across the chapter before reading this. It wouldn't have felt as great if I hadn't . . .
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.

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. |

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. |

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

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. |

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. |

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.
