Interesting idea... there is no reason why Aptom shouldn't be able to take that form without being wrapped around a Guyver.

Three-way battle. Oh my. And Guyot is the weakest party... how crazy is that? I wonder whether Aptom can absorb a Unus. And what happens if he does.

If it's eight pages of Apollyon stomping on Guyot...

We're not getting a translation of this?

He survived being tossed into a volcano, after suffering several severe injuries, draining virtually all of his energy and having his Zoa-crystal ripped out. Apollyon had better come up with something damn good, or he could have a problem.

Well, it's here... and it is glorious.

Well... he is desintegrated, or so it seems, by the Cosmic Cube. However, this has happened in the comics, too - and he always came back. Another thing that happened in the comics was that, after the final confrontation with a now-aged Red Skull, the Captain finds himself shockingly faced with a young, strong double of himself. Turns out Zola cloned Captain America and transferred the Red Skull's consciousness into it. At the end of that story, he is exposed to his own hallmark toxin, causing his handsome face to be burned and contorted into a red skull. Now, considering the Cosmic Cube can alter reality, it might be that in this version, his consciousness was lost when he tried to control it, but it eventually restored itself, and gave himself a new body.

Is there anyone else who thinks the creepy politician guy will turn out to be the Red Skull, like he did in the comics?

Unless Valcuria just exploded. Or transformed in some unexpected way. Maybe her headaches are the control medallion trying to fight back against her mind.

That may be the best and most appropriate HISHE ever. It's even better than the first I saw, which was also about Superman - but the 1976 movie.

Barcas must realize that the fact that four Zoalords, a third of the Council, have rebelled, and their rule has been stymied time and time again by a handful of people - one of whom damaged or indeed devastated several of their most valuable bases - maybe Chronos isn't all that. He has to doubt. The Creators admitted they could make mistakes. Earth and its people shouldn't even exist anymore by their reckoning. All that lives on Earth, but especially humankind, might be a gigantic mistake. Then again, he might also be planning to trick Agito by pretending to uphold a truce. If so, that's kinda dumb. On the other hand, you can bet anything Agito plans to betray them first chance he gets.

Archanfel is weakening, however. He is running around and doing things when his body says "Time to hibernate". And he has been hibernating for longer and longer. Come to think of it, the Segawa siblings are still standing by the bed of Archanfel. Which is... such a weird thought. Have they ever actually seen him before? To me, Guyot is the true antagonist here. He is a product of the twentieth century, blonde and caucasian, a classic image of brutal ambition. His kind was not created to think or command - Archanfel was. He is an ape with power - a living weapon that wants control of its own trigger. Ahem. Maybe the Exceed will give birth to a further evolution - after all, the Guyver is a hyper-adaptable super organism and it has never been bound to a human for so long before. Like, in the midst of battle, suddenly it seems to collapse and shrink down - but still retain the same energy output. The secondary control ring is after all the original navigation unit of the Creator ship, so it is essentially a super computer, analyzing its opponents actions and power and responding. It would logically design new features for itself. Now, reproduction - that would be interesting. Wouldn't it be logical for a Guyver, an organic being which can grow new tissue very rapidly, to spawn new G-units? Maybe not complete Guyver armors, but semi-autonomous drones? Directed by the control medallion. Maybe hovering laser cannons, surrounding opponents to pelt them from all sides, or projectile weapons... indeed, projectiles, nearly-mindless monsters with only one thought: fly at and blow up enemies.

Well, the Creators are believed to be a coalition of several species by some - at least that's what Murakami said. The 'Federation' is perhaps simply their government.

Nobody knows except Takaya.

In the time Shin was found - "370 years ago", so around 1630 - Armenia was pretty much a waste land, crushed between the Persians and the Ottoman empire. ...actually, that makes sense, a young man having grown up in the middle of a constant state of war.

So beautiful *** Something I thought about: his power seems to be super-powered laser beams. And certain other details of his body remind me of Zektoll. And his closest friend was Purgstall - who was electric-powered, like Elegen. Intentional?

How many battleforms remain... Galenos, Jabir, Kurumegnik and Barkas. Barkas will be last, I suspect... and it will be awesome. Designed especially to defend Archanfel, was it?

Thank you very much... Hmmm, it looks as if another spike should be sticking out of his chest.

I wonder if this means he has gotten an upgrade. He needed to heal after his battle with the Gigantic Dark - did Barkas take the opportunity to do some tweaking, so he'd have more reserves if it happened again? Maybe that's why he seems more buff now.

"Corporal Hicks......yea....apparently he did not die in Aliens 3, he was not even in the escape pod with Ripley, Bishop and Newt but somebody else" Hicks was in the escape pod with Newt, Bishop and Ripley. He died, impaled on a support brace. Never even knew what hit him. So... someone else? Who then?

Would an American really think in terms of 'low-born'? Because I seriously doubt it.

Hmmm. No. But it is interesting as an exposure of the cultural gap between Japan and the West.

Do I have to pre-order, too?

We have awesome people who do that and make the translations available to those who actually buy the comic (You can pre-order them here).

Thank you very much! (...) Heavy on text. Hard to tell what is going on exactly, although it seems neither of the Risker men expected her to join up...
