Kaiten no Albus - Vol. 5 Ch. 46 - The End

[xyzzy]

Well there you have it that's our story. Albus’s dead. Good night.

 

[Greyhood]

Damn, that previous timeline where the world got saved is looking pretty juicy right now.

 

[Junomano]

You know it’s bad if the final boss can cancel out your trump card. Everything that can go wrong is going wrong & Idk how Albus will come on top without self sacrifice. Thanks for the translations.

people are complaining that it is going fast even though everything makes sense, the demon king and the guy who gave Albus that power both know how to fack with time, one to reincarnate other to reset the timeline, the pace is good so far, so it makes sense that the demon king could interfere with Albus magic

Thanks for the scanlation

Wth

Well there you have it that's our story. Albus’s dead. Good night.

Seen the raw, yup Albus dead.

 

[ShionVaynex]

my guess is this is all planned. demon lord interrupting revolution and all. arrogance is the demon lords downfall. as he never expect that his supposed genius is predicted and he was dancing in albus hands.

albus specifically singled out fiona about his plan. so that the demon lord can read it. and because the demon lord stole such information he never expect it to be false.

he averted his eyes to the fact that a hero has always beaten him. that he was and will always lose. because any action he takes will be erased to favor a action where he will always lose. because that is the magic the first hero created.

LAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

C'mon folks, a story about pulling things back from the brink after the villain has already pressed the big red button is always more compelling than one about successfully stopping them from pressing the big red button.

Next chapter will be a reversal of fortunes: perhaps the grand heal is something you extremely don't want to do if you're possessing someone else's body or if there's something broken about your soul...

oh snappers

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[AbuHajaar]

The Demon King should be using an axe instead of a sword to fit the mood

Hearing people talk about how this is the fastest loop yet is kind of odd because until a few chapters ago, I thought the whole idea of this loop was he was taking it slower than usual, gaining more allies, etc. Like we saw the previous loop, and he basically just ran straight there with an OP weapon and Fiona, and that still apparently took longer than whatever he did now.

I think this story pacing is more-or-less fine for the kind of story this is, I think alot of people were expecting more filler chapters to flesh out the party/characters beyond the small initial introduction arcs for each of them.

If anything the pacing kinda falls in line with the entire theming of the story of moving as fast as possible. As for what's going on, I wonder frankly what explanation they are going to use to fix everything here, its been hinted at already that there was something at the ruins the minstrel/bard saw in his vision so I'm wondering if its going to be just another ancient spell or item.

 

[beThereShortly]

Hey now manga. It's about time to say "sike" and have the power of friendship save the day don't you think?

 

[Shrimperor]

I think i know the trigger for True End:
Albus needs to romance Fiona H-scene included

 

[gamria]

aw, i kinda liked change the world, sounds cheesy, but its cool as a title drop

To be exact, we're actually reverting back to the original intended name of the spell.

So the original name of the spell has the Kanji of 廻天, read as kaiten and meaning "turning the heavens". Comes with Furigana of リヴォルヴ , "Revolve" in Katakana form. That is, 廻天 describes the effect of the spell, and "Revolve" is its actual pronounced name (because "Western" fantasy magic need Western-sounding spell names)

Incidentally, 廻天 is part of the title of this series, 廻天のアルバス / Kaiten no Albus. However, when the authors were coming up with the English title of the series (for style points), I can only assume that somewhere along the way they must've found that they couldn't add "Revolve" into the title in a cool way. So they went with something else while still preserving the meaning of 廻天: "Albus Changes the World"

Thus when Ch 8 happened and the meaning of the titular 廻天 was finally unveiled and confirmed, the English translator had a choice: go with "Revolve" for the correct pronunciation, or "Change the World" to keep the namedrop intact? Ultimately, they went with the latter for stylishness, and ever since had no particular urgency to switch back to the correct choice.

But with @Yosu26 now switching back to the correct "Revolve", there's likely a reason

 

[S0LUS]

to think, you could've given the chapter that mangadex [end] tag just to see how many people you could kill via aneurysm... i'm glad y'all didn't misuse the power given to you

Not a big fan of the comments here being Debbie downer, like I get it. I was hoping for some "filler"/chill chapters too just to get to know more about the party and dynamics. Like I would love to see more of Fiona/Gina's friendship or Toko/Lauro's banters, or even something unique like Gina/Aval. A party becomes more loveable and endearing when you get to simmer with them and see these dynamics and character building.

But at the same time, Albus knows them. And the others too. They've been doing this for probably a century and had decades of adventures interacting and bonding. Even if they forgot, it doesn't change that it has happened. And now that the cast (except Fiona) has regained those memories, now their bonds are stronger than ever.

So even if we didn't get to see it, I don't doubt that they're all close and especially can synchronize so well in battle. And why I'm not as mad that we didn't get those chapters, even though I would have loved that calm before the storm chapters before we got to these chapters.

But it's not rushed as people claimed. Pacing could definitely be better but I think the story is being told as the author intends to, especially with the twists. I say let's see what the author is cooking before jumping the gun

To be honest, I expected this outcome when people started remembering things, and the hooded guy gave some warnings.

It was too much to expect someone as capable of the Demon King not learning and adapting to what Albus was doing, even if he didn't remember the past. And chances were, even if he did succeed in rewinding time, there was a high probability of the Demon King remembering things starting from the next loop.

As much as Albus loves Fiona, the rational thing would've been to accept an earlier good ending.
