I already knew something was up with Gabimaru, but that story near the end? Bruh, I am shook. This is as bad as JJK with character deaths to omg, do NOT get attached to any character, just don’t. 

compared to the other volumes this one was pretty boring. basically focused on one fight scene and that’s the whole volume.

HOLY SHIT, THESE MONSTER DESIGNS!!! I am losing my shit, I absolutely LOVE these monster designs for the Tensen!! They look so beautiful, yet so terrifying and imposing. And holy shit, why is this series hitting me in the feels THIS EARLY?! I did NOT sign up for this and I would greatly appreciate it if it would hold off on that, THANK YOU.

On top of that, we FINALLY get an explanation on the magic system with some badass fight scenes to go along with it. The Shounen action whore in me is well and truly thriving, thank you Kaku for blessing me with this much action. Also, that theory Yuzuriha has?? I really hope it's not true, but if it is I'm going to set Iwagakure's head chief on FUCKING FIRE, holy shit I hate him so much! And finally, Chobe was amazing as usual, but I'm not looking forward to where his character is going. Can't be anywhere good, that's for damn sure...

Anyway, loved this volume, sad I have to wait until January for the next one, but it'll be well worth the wait!

Our group goes head to head with one of the Tensen in this chapter and it is nothing short of epic, executing on the scale of a Dragon Ball fight in terms of intensity and design. The fluid fight should not work well as it does in the manga format for how fast our characters are, but Kaku finds a way to show it. This is another volume where we face another main character death, and this one is by far one of the saddest but also most beautiful for the closure they finally receive. Shion is a gigachad, also.
