More inner monologue from Kuroumaru. More conflicting thoughts about his friendship with Touta.
This is a full-on 2-in-1 battle between Kuroumaru and the bad guys. What's gonna happen with our gender-less main character?
Spoiler Alert! If you are gonna read this post, please read the actual manga first!
Summary: Touta is left out of the fight and is now immobilized yet conscious. Kuroumaru is determined to protect the children's city and is ready to fight 'til the end! We get to see the three of them; Werewolf martial artist and blind swordmans, fight in unreal speeds! The odds are against Kuroumaru winning as he fights two opponents at the same time. The enemies launched an attack that made Kuroumaru look like a ping pong ball, utterly defenseless. His forearm got cut off in midair, but still managed to give a counter attack on the werewolf.
The werewolf now knows what Kuroumaru's secret to his immortality and gets ready for an attack. Kuroumaru does the same but the werewolf's instant movement was so fast that he couldn't see it coming and ends up with a claw wound across his torso. As if that wasn't enough, the werewolf gave multiple combo hits DBZ style. While being beaten to a pulp, Kuroumaru thinks about Karin's words about him not liking the sword and choosing a gender. He gets cut in half by a kick to the gut and is now beside the immobilized Touta. Is Touta gonna be able to stand? Able to fight against two powerful opponents? We have to wait for next week!
Likes: How faster Mr. Werewolf can go with his instant movement. That is the fruit of hard labor, an extremely fast instant movement. His attacks are probably up to par with Touta's powers but because of the speed he's going, Mr. Werewolf can deliver a thundering punch that can break walls.
Dislikes: Kuroumaru's secret to immortality. He can regenerate quite fast but with his opponents knowing the instant movement technique, the healing needs to be faster in order to keep up with the damage he's acquiring. I kind of thought that Kuroumaru is a descendant of Setsuna Sakurazaki (from Negima! Magister Negi Magi,) who is a half demon. I thought Kuroumaru would sprout wings or something. I guess because he's a mix of demons or something, that he isn't able to grow wings. He is also from the Shinmei-ryu school so the similarities are a lot.
Quirks: Have you noticed that I put male pronouns in? Yeah, I did. Why? Because when Kuroumaru fights, he's a total dude. His style is that of the Shinmei-ryu but masculine in delivery. The cover page for this chapter is also quirky because it's totally a pose of a male model and not a female one.
The manga streaming website I go to read this is, is trying to catch up with the weekly releases so I might have a ton of UQ Holder! Weekly! posts. The Mail posts might be pushed back to keep up with the schedule. Hopefully they get caught up and release this series as they release the big three. (Note: For anyone who doesn't know what the big three is, it's Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. The longest shounen manga that are popular and still ongoing.)
