Thread: Chapter 154 Discussion

MH thread. Raw is out~

Edit: OMFG EPIC CHAPTER. Didn't realize until I'd read it. Okay, so it looks like everything's over thanks to that complete ownage of the level 4 (go Lenalee!).

Also, great opportunity for comic relief there. :3

blinktopia already translated on mangashare
wow i really like this chap. my fav was when lenalee kicked the sword down..now cross wants that demon around headquarters... sheesh

When Lenalee forced the sword down (and closer/into the level 4)? That was epic. It looks kinda dead, though; I wonder if Cross doesn't just mean having a look at its corpse and taking it apart. Converting it would be awfully risky, particularly since it isn't permanent (at least, in terms of preventing them from attacking).

So... meet bad guy, get owned, power-up, beat bad guy? Hmm... original indeed...^^ The scene where she kicked the sword down was nice, though.

Lenalee needs to start wearing only black again.

Meh, Lenalee didn't really get owned. The akuma stepped on her, but... Well, the way in which the fight ended was damn cool, right?

I thought the white outfit was actually kinda cool. Nice contrast to the all-black that the rest of the Order (except Komui) favours.

Dante, wasn't this a good chapter to read while listening to Forever? :3

I guess the sword dance was nice but overall EPIC FAIL when it comes to being original. I would expect a little more from level 4 akuma, but there he has it, he gots owned by two exorcist wannabees which one should be half-dead and other one should be in lot of pain of just loosing her innocence.

..oh, and everyone seems to be alive and fine - if they make Hevlaska alive too, then Hoshino is simply pushing reality too far.

I am rather suprised some people are so disappointed with this chapter, the level 4 had alot of power, and it took Lenlee's newly enchanced innocence combined with Allen's own extremely powerful one to take it down.

The Level 4's primary strength was immense speed, which is why it was able to dominate people so easily, fortunatly for the order, Lenlee's specialty is speed.

Their combined effort to take it down was much more convincing then most typical shonen "Lol power up, I defeat the uber strong bad guy 1v1 without effort."

The fact the level 4 took two direct hits from Allen's sword, with assists from Lenlee, was certainly impressive as well.

Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad. Lenalee was in pretty good shape (or should have been, despite her reactions in previous chapters) and Allen got hugged... so there could be a reason for his sudden energy boost. Besides, it was expected that Lenalee would (and could) take down the level 4 with her abilities. Using them to jam a sword through the level 4's torso was damn cool. Kolox, you're just a hater. >_>

(Seriously, what should have happened? The level 4 kills everyone and the manga ends? Cross returns to shoot it and make everyone forget about Lenalee? Lenalee kicks it once and it dies? Allen and Lenalee use some kind of super love beam attack that belongs in shoujo manga and destroy everything?)

..oh, and everyone seems to be alive and fine - if they make Hevlaska alive too, then Hoshino is simply pushing reality too far.

Well, except for Kanda and Lavi, who are barely conscious, but will probably be okay. I guess all the main characters will pull through after all, although there aren't really that many to keep track of (maybe Bookman will have died?). Why wouldn't Hevlaska be okay? She got hit once. Unless she's a weak old lady...

I was talking about his over appearance. L4 appeared, beat the hell out of everyone, then there was a power up, and then he got defeated.

A bit too fast but, yes. Lenalee shined just like you wanted her to, no?

I wouldn't know, when I saw her boots the first thing I thought was "Hell, now I want to see her all in black."

I was listening Karma. :P
(Lost and Damned, On the Coldest Winter Night, Wander, A Feast for the Vain and Descent of the Archangel are pretty sweet, by the way.)

Oh, yeah... Then again, since Lenalee needed a power-up, was there any other way?

Well, she was totally awesome. Take that, haters!

It'll look cool.

Oooh. (Actually, I listened to Forever the second time - first was Mirrorcle World, by Ayumi Hamasaki. It's epic, actually.) So much Epica you have~ No Ghost Opera, though? :/ It's totally become my favourite album, for some reason...
