Thread: Chapter 134 Discussion - Chaoji = FAIL, but who cares, it's over!!!

Oh, no, it wasn't THAT pathetic. XD I guess it got burned out or something from making three teenage guys fly into the air. Still, they had a stupid reason to be in that situation in the first place...

Loved:

- Allen's and Tim Canpy's tearful reunion ... and Allen has a ruler in one hand to measure how much Tim's grown!
- "THAT'S A CRIME, MASTER!" XD XD
- The Earl's furious face ... woah. That's some serious anger. The anime might take this arc ending as a time for fillers, but the manga is definitely not going to take much of a breather.
- Linali hanging on to Cross for dear life XD (and the poor shocked Baku!)
- and last but not least, the warm "Okaeri!" from Komui and gang ... awwwwwwww!

Disliked:

Chao Ji ... he's CREEPY. But I admit he rounds out the cast nicely. Not everyone can be forgiving and merciful like Allen and Linali, or simply nice and laidback like Lavi and Krory (or a pushover like poor Miranda). It'll be interesting to see what sort of tension his hardline thinking and lingering anger against Allen will bring into the working group of Exorcists. He'll contrast nicely with Allen's attitude, bringing in the sentiment of the more common denominator, and it'll emphasize more strongly how unusually compassionate Allen is in his ability to find mercy for even those that would seem most hateful.

What I'm interested in seeing first of all with regards to him is his reaction to seeing the souls of the Akuma when Allen's eye activates (it seems like the anime filler has casually disregarded this property ... I don't think Allen has control over that, does he?). Will he find it in him to forgive? Will he be able to approach his duties with a mindset of "saving the souls of the Akuma" like Allen, or will he simply be a hate-fueled vengeful wielder of the Innocence?

THAT was what it was?

WHATWHERE. WIN.

Thank goodness. We always knew the Earl was serious...

- Linali hanging on to Cross for dear life XD (and the poor shocked Baku!)

He needed it. It might help him live when/if Lenalee rejects him, or when she starts dating someone else.

Didn't love, but whatever.

I actually think that Chaoji is an awesome character for being creepy and angry and hating Allen while still being on the "good" side. He provides a necessary character for perspective, and shows that there are consequences to everything. In a way, he's right - why should Allen save Tiki when Tiki killed many innocent humans? He wouldn't even necessarily be killing Tiki, either, just... leaving him to die. Allen is just too amazingly good in order to be able to look past that, but Chaoji is still just an ordinary human who is suffering, and who has a different perspective. If he continues to dislike Allen, I'd be interested in seeing more of his character just for that conflict.

Chaoji, failed! Chaoji is also emo I mean it's not Allen's fault that he can't leave Tiki, no?

It IS Allen's fault, but I like that Chaoji is evil. =D Or rather, that Allen kind of is...?

Also, Chaoji's Innocence doesn't really break. -_-;; It just looks that way. Still, it's very lame, so that's not the point. Also, he's going to be Tiedoll's student... so I guess Allen's going to have to help the three weaklings right now? Ah well - they all get along so well to the point of fighting, so... =D

Hmm I guess Chaoji will be the "fat guy" that you find in all those superhero groups (Voltes V: big bird, Flame of Recca: Domon, etc)

Hmmm, good point. There wasn't a fat guy in DGM (on the good-side) before him, after all. I hope he has more potential as an antagonist to Allen, however. It would be awesome if it was used in combination with anything involving Allen and Noah...

The translated chapter is out ^^

Indeed it is, which is why I revised my first post and made the most recent one. So, on the topic of romance, why was Allen the only one yelling at Cross for hitting on Lenalee? o_o The other guys were certainly surprised, and I thought Lavi liked her too... hm... well, that was a cute scene. Almost made up for Rou Fa appearing later (I can't stand that character, honestly).

all of the character here are emo...oh and it's not broken eh?

Will he be able to approach his duties with a mindset of "saving the souls of the Akuma" like Allen, or will he simply be a hate-fueled vengeful wielder of the Innocence?

I think the last one,seeing how this series are making more and more emo character.
even if he can see the souls of akuma but that won't make him forget the akuma that has killed all of his friend.
