Oh christ, I came buckets.

That is more information then most of us need/desire to know.

That is more information then most of us need/desire to know.

and off topic moving on

I think I'll hold off on cumming buckets until I get the full chapter (God, reminds me of that time I saw Chachamaru naked, that was an adventure in and of itself!)

But anyhoo, I'm hearing that sometime this week Akamatsu will be releasing 7 Pactio Cards. Seven REDONE Pactio Cards. The previous ones were made at around 2004 and he didn't know what they'd do at the time. I'm not sure what else to expect.

I'm hoping he might stick a Haruna or a Misora Pactio Card somewhere in there. I swear to Almighty God Tuesday can't come fast enough. (Please, please, PLEASE let there be some new Pactio Cards!)

a very early (1AM Wed in Japan.) and incomplete review of 200 is out on ai-love.

as expected, we found out the BSG's name, since 199 is reduced pages so the last couple of pages carry over. Lacan "Hero of the Thousand faces", or thousands swords Lacan,

Lacan, in Kanji, is also Hinduism's Arhat, look up the pictures and you would understand why Ken gives him that name,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arhat

Asuna/Setsuna bath time is after Negi's public address, so they knew he is safe.

danger comes when Tsukuyomi appears? (at least that is what I can figure out. no idea if she is confronting them or just appearing like Takahata during the chapter.)

----- edit 1B

"one variation" of Lacan's sword is named "ship buster". (Like Kenshin's Sanosuke's horse buster, Love Hina Motoko's rock buster, Asuna's demon buster, etc.) it is an artifact that he calls up with his pactio card. it can virtually be as big/small/size/shape as he wishes, sort of like Goku's (not that one, the original journey of the west Goku) wonder stick, ship buster literally reaches 40 meters long!

Negi is taking study/power up under Lacan, and paying through his nose?

Tsukoyomi is stalking A/S?

----- edit 2

pactio cards ads pages, haruna is the mystery card, (because Ken hasn't draw it!) shipping and handling 500yens. cut off application date February, ship date April.

----- edit 3

the magazine cover is not Negima, (200 chapters in 5 years) but Hajime no Ippo, (800 chapters in 20 years!), Negima I think is still the lead off series.

----- edit 4

a link with some pictures

http://hikagenonakade.blog117.fc2.com/blog-entry-58.html

----- edit 5

the pactio cards are made of plastic, not paper.

the limited edition #22, scheduled for April, will come with the AA white wings badge.

return of tsukoyomi?

Well, we knew she was coming, as she was with Fate and co. back at the gates.

Are we talking about THE Tsukkomi or is it that swordsman we met at the Gateport?

Well looks like I'll be eating some crow.

As for Tsukuyomi appearing. Very interesting indeed.

We may finally find out whether or not Tsukuyomi was really the one at the gateport.

If she was is she still working for Fate? Or has she turned against him.

If not, is she their somehow at Eishun's request?

lol chacha , is tsukuyomi . the swordsman

Huh come again.

Chachamaru and Tsukuyomi are two different characters.

The swordswoman at the gateport? The one that looked just like Tsu, had a similar fighting style, and spoke in Kansaiben? Yeah, it was most definitely her. Either that or Akamatsu's really hard-up for new character models.

I guess Tsukuyomi is observing them from a distance. "Senpai and Ohime-sama," eh? Did she address Asuna as "Ohime-sama" before?

Huh come again.

Chachamaru and Tsukuyomi are two different characters.

Believe Ledah was referencing Chachazero's post:

Thanks for the images HaTa

Oh my **** where the ehck did THAT giant spear/sword come from? Big Black Guy named B***? O_O

Oh hoh hoh hooooh! So Al's not the only pactio-er in the Crimson Wing. Double Sword! Yeah! I love those things! Negi has found his new master here, and boy is he going to be worth it. And Negi-tachi might learn something about Entheofushia-chan when Negi and the gang let the name slip. Of course this is all hanging on the fact that the BSG knew about Entheofushia-chan. He was never around in any of Asuna's flashbacks. The only time he's been seen up till now is in shots of Crimson Wing. Also, we have no idea what he's doing here of all places. After all the shadow user's reaction to him made it clear he's just as well known as the rest of the team. We also don't know how or why he parted ways with them.

And yay, Tsukiyomi! Knew Akamatsu wouldn't let her go to waste. She is Setsuna's rival. (Konoka's too in a way.) Looking forward to her revealing more to her"hime-sama".

Take that comment as you will.

@SeamusBann I see. It makes more sense than what I was thinking.

As for Tsukuyomi. While it may have been her. The fact still remains we didn't see the face of the gateport shinmei-ryu user. So I'm still uncertain about assumeing their one and the same. We still need more proof than same fighting style abd dialact imo.

I mean useing that logic Mana is related to this Lacan person because they share similar personality traits and look alike.

Yeah it's not certain, but I think it's a pretty safe bet. Same style, same way of speaking, and the fact that she is in the magic realm with the EXACT same scarf the swordsgirl from the portal had makes it pretty clear to me. But, you never can tell.

I admit it's to much of a coincidence for it to be two different people. If Tsukuyomi was apart of Fates attack on the gateport I have several questions.

1) Why was she working for him? (aside of the money angle)

2) Why was she covering her face?

3) Is she still working for him?

4) Aside from her personal intereast in Setsuna why is she following her and Asuna?

5) How did she manage to find them in what appears to be such a short time frame?

1) Shinmei Ryu merc? It's a job.
2) Bad hair day? (Runs from a short, cute, maybe VERY dangerous double blade user.)
3) I hope not, but probably yes, unless the job is over.
4) 3P? (Runs in other direction from short, cute, VERY dangerous double blade user.)
5) Because love is true, and she could find her Setsuna Sempai anywhere. (Trips and falls, gets hacked to bits.)

I agree with #5, she just followed the red string tied to her pinky, lol.

Seriously a yandere can find the person they love, no matter where they try to hide, lol.

DBZ's Goku has that too (well he gives it up near the end of Dragon Ball, but you get the point)

Bring forth the raw!!

raw ĦĦĦ where where ?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BQ2US9TC

anyway,

-- Lacan is the one who calls Negi as his student, and knows that he is 10 years old, he "asks" Kagetaro "nicely" to properly challenge Negi in the tournament after he trains him. (instead of turning him into dust particles.)

-- Chisame and Chachamaru are punishing Negi for Asuna.

-- the letter is from Asuna/Setsuna

-- Asuna is happy because the news of Negi, Setsuna is sad because there is no news of Konoka.

-- Tsukoyomi says "tasty" in the end, and I don't think she means Chaobozu meatbuns,

edit:

upon further review, (actually reading it page by page.)

correction from my previous.

"Hero of the thousand faces" is the name of Lacan's artifact, which is why the name Thousand Swords Lacan.

"Ship Buster" is Lacan's finisher. and people were cheering when it destroy half of the city

also, Negi fainted not because of his arm, but because the wound in his stomach.

and Chisame just happens to hit him on the same spot.

Chacha using the same "lock on" command like Tanaka in the tournament.

of course, on the same page, the standard disclaimer on the margin (this is a fictional story, all similarity to characters or organization are purely coincidental, etc.)

Tsukuyomi saying "eat" with "tasty" pretty much confirms her yuri sides.

Ty for posting the raw Hata.

My thoughts to follow later.

This is a great day for the empire

Sheik is in Brawl

I finished my Final Exam program for the Uni

And I get the RAW for chapter 200 (comments to follow once I check the chapter)




Free chimichangas for everyone!!!!!


Comments:


Ok, Big Black Guy Named B*** just pulled that trick out of Issac (from Golden Sun). I mean, that's Ragnarock!!!

I love that scene with Chachamaru punishing Negi for his recleness XD ChibiChacha isn't that bad after all

Ok, Akamatsu wanted to remind us "Hey, Negima is an action manga, but I know how to please my male readers" with that Asuna + Setsuna scene (I mean, it's just WOW *nosebleeds*)

But how come the girls wrote a letter for Negi??? They know where he is? If so, why don't they just go there in the first place?

Awww, Setsuna is losing it because she doesn't have her Ojou-sama with her...


And of course, that Tsukiyoumi (Is that how it's written?) at the end is a heckuva nice cliffhanger.

Having Shiek in Brawl just doesn't make sense! It's Zelda from Twighlit Princess for crying out loud! I'd've rather had Midna instead.

Yay finally 200!

It looks very interesting

I didn't suspect that Negi would recognise Lacan(sometimes, negi is just plain stupid )

Suprised to see the letter, never suspected that Asuna and Setsuna would send one.

Lacan looks like an evil boss on his pactio card

(yay I understood one line of the raw)

They're wanted criminals. (hence why they're hanging out in the jungle)

They're wanted criminals. (hence why they're hanging out in the jungle)

So? Once they reach Negi they could use one of the Age-changing pills like Chisame and Kotaro did

Could someone post the raw somewhere else like RapidShare? MegaUpload has never got along with me

I hope you like Mediafire link: http://www.mediafire.com/?5nmzddj6dwb

Interesting chapter indeed.
Very nice scene between Asuna and Setsuna... and Im not just talking about the end

Although, I felt ripped off with the '200 chapter color page'. Why the same picture as volume 21 cover? Why not a special one like with chapter 100?

Oh well...

So the guys name is Lacan...

Yeah, I was expecting a "Jawsome" spread image...

So I should start calling him Big Black Guy named Lacan?

Thanks for the download link, it worked

Wait a minute, if Lacan pactio item is called "Hero of a Thousand Faces," does that mean that he can summon every single legendary sword in existance?

After all, a "Hero of a THousand Faces" is the name of one of Joseph Campbell's book which creates the idea that many hero legends are one in the same, just with different names and places.

That was worth waiting for.....

That's 4 of the Ala Rubra that we've met up with.

Exactly -where- Asuna and Setsuna are is still a big question; the terrain and foliage says temperate region mountains, so they aren't on the same continent as Negi & co.

The letter was clever.

Nice to see Asuna still keeping in training....

And Tsukuyomi is definitely getting her yuri rations out of that one...... (maybe she'll even strip off and join the fun.....)

That leaves Konoka and the library trio we need updates on, yes?
