Beautiful locks.

Finally the face reveal. He's been a bald shadow for so long I was beginning to picture only Vergo from OP in my head.

Thanks!

JONGLYO! I gotta say I am not liking the foreshadowing here... We're getting too used to Kyara winning every single time. We already know he's capable of losing since Marco (with help) defeated him once. He's done nothing but stomp everybody, even the hardest opponents, and he's been fighting nonstop. We also know that Jonglyo and him are on a similar level at least, since they were chasing each other around for a while, and he was even injured at some point... Additionally, BK's plans have all worked so far (except for the invasion of the enemy base, due to Hachina's involvement), while Lalo has already lost quite a few allies already... It would make a lot of logical sense, and the way the story is progressing also seems to indicate it (giving us a full flashback to his past, him and Jonglyo being evenly matched, etc) ... So I think it might be time actually see our Kyara lose, and perhaps even die... I'm sure this will be a great fight regardless of the outcome, though. I hope he does not die, and that he can pull off another classic Kyara victory.

I gotta say I love Arata even from the short moments we've seen of him, he has this whole mysterious and gloomy aura about him. Interesting how he joined his own island not as a developer, but as an outlaw (perhaps keeping the outlaws in check for the good of the island? Plays into BK's whole "you gotta control both sides" idea). And I suppose the reason for Jonglyo's appearance here means that Lalo had the same exact idea as BK and sent him to control the outlaws, which would make sense since Arata says he will only help one of them. If Jonglyo loses then Lalo will be in an insanely disadvantageous position, so I fear the worst. Extremely exciting time. Loving this arc.

HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is probably this manga's highpoint battlewise ! I know it's tough to beat the numbers fight between #0 and #2 but I feel this is going to be better!

Spoiler

Plotwise you're right ... Kyara's karma isn't looking too good. If he kills Jonglyo Lalo is pretty much f**ed so our best bet is maybe Kyara wins and gets disabled for the rest of the ark ... but ... seeing how we're getting little flashbacks of backstory I'm afraid he might die. Considering it's Kyara though not some random referee it'll at least be a draw where they both die or he wins but can't fight anymore.

Petition to call Arata Slash and is it just me or is Jonglyo from the Hyuga clan on that last page ?

Dat boss fight intro was pretty damn cool.

 

[Clooud]

holy hype

One thing that interests me about Arata's speech is that he says the island will end too. We already know that Lalo has managed to essentially leak the island's location to his followers, but what if Arata himself is also planning on adding another party into the game, to sabotage Lalo and Baku further, to raise the difficulty? This party could be dangerous enough that the island of Protoporos itself will be at risk of being ruined.

About Jonglyo, those are some serious veins beside both his eyes. Creeps me out, to be honest.
