Epic chapter!!!
! Though this is supposed to be the "last" battle, I highly doubt it's gonna end with Negi vs Fate. As good as the fight was, I really liked the scenes at Mahora Academy more. But going straight to the …jet after Fate's profound words. Akamatsu your evil genius knows no bounds. Highly appreciated to see Ayaka and the rest again. Everytime I do, I cross my fingers that they're gonna be more involved in the Magic World. My absolute favorite part was seeing Evangeline and Zazie together>< Zazie and her goth outfit X3 (Can't believe she's still wearing it after all this time)
@RobbyBevard:
! Even when Jack Rackan is dead and erased from existence, he still manages to break reality and affect things. Wotta guy.
! I really, really liked how that plot point came into fruition. I was worried it might come to nothing (not like Akamatsu's other abstract plot points have ever come to nothing but it was a particularly moving one that I liked.).
! @RobbyBevard:
! > Also, the newly awakened Fates seem extra susceptible to being horribly destroyed in one concentrated blow. Granted, its Negi and main Fate dealing those blows, but they're still basically OHKOs. Wonder if thats a design flaw in them obviously being created constructs, or just being new?
! Actually I really appreciate this chapter for taking away the bad taste in my mouth at the Fate's being taken out so easily. The fact of the matter is that these guys are fresh out of storage. Fate has proven he is far stronger than the others because he's been out and about far longer and he's more developed not just physically but mentally as well in terms of spirit and resolve. Sure Lightning Fate got in a few good hits (you can get that much when your affinity is extreme speed based) but as Fate said, his punches were too light. The whole point of this chapter was that Fate is NOT like the other Fates and he wants to know why and that's what his battle with Negi will show him. That said, I have a sneaking suspicion that all the other Fates are gonna be reconstructed as soon as the final big boss shows up after Negi and Fate's battle. (And then Principal will probably come with his legion of badasses as a counterattack. And maybe Evangeline will take Ayaka and the gang too just for the laughs. But that's just my theory.)
