The woman being the culprit was a bit too predictable, imo. Like, from the very first part of this Chapter. What caught me by surprise though, was that there’s a face EX-ARM. That was really unexpected... and genuinely unsettling to look at. Also, she could’ve just said that the thief ran past...

Good to know that much of what I predicted came true. The flashback to the 2020 terrorist attack gives us some new insights. Akira had clones, it seems (one, at least). But they would have to be human, in order to use EX-ARMs. So they must be real, human clones, which means Akira could probably...

Fricking CALLED IT!!! OGRE has an EX-ARM inside of it! It’s just weird that, in the “Olympic Terrorist Attack” flashback, Akira seems to have had a normal body, as opposed to a robot-looking one. Unless, of course, that was an android body, made to look like Akira. This would mean that he, as...

@Four_Eyes That’s a good question. Maybe we’ll get an explanation, though I doubt that. Alma’s very close to being considered a human. She has sensors, so that might be a reason for her being in the tub as well. Maybe there isn’t any other way to connect to the VR.

I’m happy we’re moving on, but I’m more agitated, than anything, after this Chapter. The praise from the last two Chapters has dissipated. But onto what I like first. I liked the implication that Leon will be a recurring character. He was, without a doubt, “rescued” by Nguyen’s men. Seeing how...

@Talon13184 Fiction can’t really get any emotional reactions out of me (physically, at least), but that double page spread of Elmira and Molau gave me a heavy feeling in my chest. Even on rereads, it’s just so painful and depressing. “I think it went deeper than that. I think she was genuinely...

HiRock isn’t the best writer. He tends to follow clichés, overdone tropes, include (unnecessary) fan-service nudity, etc. Definitely has room for improvement. On the other hand, however, he manages to establish gripping mysteries (and satisfying conclusions to them), relatable characters...

@Talon13184 No problem. The initial translation wasn’t all that confusing to begin with, but undeniably a little misleading. It was impossible for the BLU to be carried all the way to Colorado. The reason why I made a bunch of stupid comments is because I was overwhelmed by this Chapter. It was...

@SomeGuy1 NORAD isn’t the target. Akira just hijacked it through the military’s network in order to mess with Elmira’s GPS and use it against her. They’re telling Akira to leave because the OGRE is a super expensive and advanced (one of a kind) piece of tech. It getting destroyed wouldn’t be...

It’s badass how Akira used NORAD to mess with Elmira’s GPS. This was foreshadowed in the flashback, at the start of the Chapter.

@JeezyHungry @Vergift The UN soldiers (all Americans, in this case) got orders from a US general to drop the bomb on Yokosuka, destroying the whole district in the process. Yes, the goal was to neutralize EX-ARM 13. They’re not covering up the corruption, however, because no one really knows...

@JeezyHungry So that Akira can prevent the BLU-131 from dropping on Yokosuka.

Funny, how Molau got executed the same way, by the very weapon, he used to execute others. Irony at it’s finest. On an unrelated note: I’ve learned that Volume covers contain some clues as to what it’ll be about. Most you only understand with hindsight, though: • Volume 2 has the same...

@Myorn I’m very picky about what I like, so when I say I enjoy this, that definitely means something (to me, at least). It doesn’t have to be “Ghost in the Shell” or “Evangelion”. Ir’s not a masterpiece and that’s fine. It’s doing, what it’s doing, well enough to keep me wanting more. There is...

@Demonee That’s just the pattern on the back. It looks nothing like the font used for designating EX-ARMs. Besides, we see that EX-ARM 11 is the right forearm, so there’s no reason why the number would be on the back. And it’d also make no sense, because that would just be a huge risk. They...

So Molau WAS alive. I knew he had to be alive, yet connected on some neural level to Elmira in order for the EX-ARM to work. It’s interesting to see that Number 13 is just the shoulder and not the whole part above the forearm. We also get to see what the adaptation showed in the beginning of...

@Nk9bjP4A Timing isn’t that big of a deal. I mean, sure they’re still taking a gamble, but the drone has more than one missile. Your second point, however, IS spot on. They can’t know for sure that the missile would come out on the correct side. They’ll nail it, of course, but that’ll be purely...

@Talon13184 Thank you for that!

@Nk9bjP4A I think that ‘that’ aspect of it's ability won’t be explained (unfortunately). It’s clearly this way so that the protagonists can win (otherwise it’d be impossible). If I had to guess, it’s less tasking to have a single designated spot, rather than constantly assigning it, while...

@Tonikill1 I don’t think it’ll go that far. Maybe around 30 EX-ARMs (give or take). The scanlator does his thing every week. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later.
