Well, I'm glad that flashback is over. I had a hard time getting into the whole "One" thing because it seems they threw him into the story with no foreshadowing, like the author ran out of ideas or needed a filler arc.

I also thing it's implausible that we've never heard a single mention of this person before despite all the camp flashbacks we've seen so far.

It makes a little more sense now that this chapter made it clear that One was from before Ijin's time, but still. Anyway, thanks for the chapter and lets hope this arc picks up now that we're back in the present.

If...When ijin and one fight it is going to be a One on 001 fight. Though I am hoping for some more daily life content, it's just been one fight after another the last few arcs.

how do we revert to the original english title? I almost missed this because of mangadex' sudden title change

Yes. I always thought the series could have ended when they killed Mad Dog. But they extended it nicely and even added more subplots, which felt like it strayed from the basic scope of the series (a young man who was adopted by a group of mercenaries returns to normal life and faces some sons of ****, or rather, corrupt politicians – which is worse than that).

Then he discovers that Ijin had more connections with other mercenary groups, helped a mercenary village, recruited underworld figures, these underworld guys were linked to corrupt officials, the honest policeman tries to investigate and gets beaten up, the underworld guy who "became nicer" gets beaten up too (not without beating up about 100 others...).

Maybe the "One" arc was already part of some initial idea for the series, but it wouldn't have fit at the beginning anyway – because given that he's kind of a "nemesis," One, as he is, will go after Ijin's family (I wouldn't be surprised if the script ends up like that).

Ouf, je suis content que ce retour en arrière soit terminé. J'ai eu du mal à accrocher à l'histoire de « One » parce qu'on dirait qu'ils l'ont intégrée sans aucune préparation, comme si l'auteur était à court d'idées ou avait besoin d'un arc narratif de remplissage.

Je trouve également peu plausible que nous n'ayons jamais entendu parler de cette personne auparavant, malgré tous les flashbacks du camp que nous avons vus jusqu'à présent.

C'est un peu plus clair maintenant que ce chapitre a précisé que One était antérieur à l'époque d'Ijin, mais quand même. Bref, merci pour ce chapitre et espérons que cet arc narratif reprenne de l'intérêt maintenant que nous sommes de retour au présent.
Dans le chapitre 269, il est déjà mentionné que One est antérieur à Ijin, 005, 006, 032 et 016.

Quant à l'apparition soudaine de cette histoire, ne pensez-vous pas que la psychologie de One correspond parfaitement à la politique d'Eigakai selon laquelle tout échec est synonyme de mort ? Si l'on considère la ressemblance frappante entre Kuroha, One et 002, comme une sœur, on pourrait supposer que One est tout simplement la dirigeante de l'organisation qu'Ijin combat dans une réalité parallèle.

Mais ce ne sont que des suppositions.
