Oh, it's open already. Great.
Let's start with this: if this arc is the fight against Aleister, then is he going to fight alone? Since Noukan is dead and Yuutsu is out of the game for a while (and probably won't follow Aleister's orders anymore), he has no allies anymore. It's like playing chess with just the king, AND YET he's a menace. lol |

You know i wonder which characters will defeat the entire Kihara family i mean if Alesister is defeated the Kihara Family will spread out of Academy City because they will no longer be confined to it so i believed that the Kihara family should be dealt with before defeating Aleister

I do not care if it a trap or not but just seeing inside Crowley's Fortress is something that bet forshadow back in NT5 that could change everything in this series specially which this line a "great mystery of Academy City and possibly of the entire world" could be inside it and don't forget how something was inviting Touma and Thor into the building back in NT5 even if they don't know what it was. Maybe Thor will come back now that they are going into the Windowless building. To be honest most likey this book will be getting into the Windowless building and there be another book which them inside the Windowless Building. That if they get in, in the first place because sometime the summarys of the book are big lie like NT7.

-I predict we'll learn some Academy City's dark side in this Volume. Touma willl learn about Crowley and even possibly interact with him.
-I have this bad feeling Tsuchimikado may die. -Fran's love for Kamisato will be exploited and who knows, Kamisato could be used against Fran, just as Tsuchimikado feared his sister would be used in NT7. -I think Windowless Building, regardless if this raid is a trap or if Crowley is healing there, will be either self destructed or launched to space. When the Dragon's fortress is compromised, he breathes fire on his ship to exterminate his intruding enemies. The very fact someone has entered it is dangerous for hiding his secret from AC. Launching it into space would ensure no one learns anything and his enemies will be gone. -More of Laura in this volume. She'll probably learn about the raid and put some plan into action. -Probably less comedy this time. -Between the Lines will reveal more about Aleister's past. |

I wouldn't count out the Kiharas just yet. There is still that vague hint that Academy City is able to clone dead scientists at the push of a button, and who is to say that all of the original seven Kiharas are actually dead. Therestina Lifeline is still alive, and she's one of them, (that is if Kamachi plans on revisiting old manga plot points) so I'm going to assume she's not the only one.
Also, I have the odd feeling that Aleister's karma magic and Touma's bad luck are interconnected somehow. D.R.A.G.O.N is still an unknown, but I have my guesses that we haven't seen the last of Aiwass by a long shot. |

I honestly don't think Tsuchimikado will lead a raid on the windowless building without able to get into the building. But that would be it if they just make this entire NT about getting in. That's not a raid that's banging on the wall. Just like the length of this series' plot a banging headache.
But putting that aside I do imagine after attacking Misaka, Aleister is going on the offensive against Touma and the others maybe trying to finish the job as he didn't actually kill the Railgun. To which Tuschimkado takes advantage with the raid, but I still feel someone is going to die. Last edited by Loremaster; 2017-03-17 at 15:45. |

Aleister won't go easy on them just because he doesn't want to hurt Touma. However, I do believe he'll try to separate Fran and Tsuchimikado from Touma in order to deal with his most major enemies. The group will have a harder time with the raid if they don't hide behind Touma. So Aleister's best bet is separation or isolation. That's what I think he'll do to stop the raid. |
