HQ cover is out. We should probably get the one with the title/markings on it soon.
We should get the first 20-30 pages of the novel sometime in the next 72 hours, maybe even as soon as tonight if we're lucky.
A week from tonight we should get illustration spoilers.
You guys ready?
Yes but not
Fuck off back to the Bleach general
So what do you guys think Element will be? Summoned magical monsters? Scientifically created esper monsters? Some weird mix of the two? They have to be created with some kind of power in order for Touma's hand to oppose them. Unless of course they are monsters that use powers.
Wew look at dem tiddies.
It's just dark matter. I guess only Touma and the AAA's firepower will be the ones actually destroying and not just suppressing the monsters (based on who we know is in the volume so far).
Another stupid cover.
I'm also pretty sure they'll be dark matter. I'm also inclined to agree with the guys that say that fighting Element isn't going to be the main thrust of the volume, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.
>We will never get SS or manag about touma in his late middle school to early highschool timeframe and the actual suffering that was happening there
Oh yeah, more titty monster service while the lolis get fuck all.
Reminder that the universe was destroyed in a volume with this cover
Almost surely Dark Matter unless Kamisato pulls a curveball on us and Element ends up being some weird power by his harem
>Tsuchimikado gouged a girl's eye in a volume with this cover
AAARRRGGGHHH KANZAKI HELP ME, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN
AAARRRGGGHHH KANZAKI HELP ME, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN
What the fuck
I THOUGHT I COULD TAKE HIM...I WAS WRONG
NOOO FUCK YOU
Fucking hell Stiyl, is Innocentius helping you shitpost or something?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Is it just me that has really hard time remembering anything that was happening in NT
I have reread it from the beginning 3 times now and sometimes still have trouble understanding what the fuck are you sometimes talking about
>That Mikobutt
What are you having trouble with? It hasn't been that hard to follow.
It's probably just you. I can keep up just fine.
>you will never go fishing with kakine and gunha
Fishing is the most boring passtime ever. So thank goodness?
>the fish aren't biting
>Gunha punches the river
>blasts all the fish out or stuns them with the impact and they come floating up to the surface
Only people that would ever want to go fishing are actual fishermen/anglers or someone that never once in thier life did it so no thanks I'd rather not go
Way to be a downer. I guess I'll repost this one from last night too, featuring sniper-chan.
I'd agree it's just Dark Matter too but the heat fucking over AC's infrastructure makes me think the heat was a method to bypass AC security which means it's possible the monsters and/or the person responsible for them is from outside AC trying to get in. That doesn't fit with Dark Matter
Stiyl has taste for once.
Dunno I just seem like I can't get into it enough even if it's just as interesting if not more than OT.
And I remember most of OT perfectly after reading it once over 5 years ago
If Kamachi won't drop a bomb in this volume I will be seriously disappointed.
On the side note - do you think this series will break 100k line again? Sales after NT12 are just depressing.
Cute!
>[Deleted]
Not without a S3. No matter how good the novel becomes from now on, it'll at most just slow down the sales decline.
Idol accel is bet thing that happened to raildex inr ecent years
Nice try Stiyl, we know you're a Rakkofag now.
Pretty sure the Mikoto one sold more than 100K last time I checked.
It could be due to the structure of it, I guess. Pretty much all of OT was building up to WW3 in some way, while NT has been less focused.
It could do, but it'll probably need a new anime or a serious upturn in quality before it gets there. I doubt it'll fall much more though, it'll probably hit rock bottom at some point. Probably before going below 45-50k sales in the first week, assuming it at least maintains the current level of quality.
ANOTHER COMPLETE MEMORY WIPE WHEN?
After Mikoto confesses and he accepts.
I assume he means 100k in the first week like we used to get, I'd hope that they all still reach 100k after a few weeks, but I admit I've not actually checked.
You'd think Touma would be covered in scars by now. Also, he isn't wearing his super jacket. He is fucked.
Yandere: The Electromaster
>Touma end up in hospital again
>Rumor spreads that he suffered another brain damage
>Misaki ans Seria almost kill themselves in the rush to be the first in the room when he wakes up
>They do succed
And that's how 2nd seris ends and 3rd series begins
I think everyone wants a bomb drop novel, regardless of character and plot preferences.
What bomb do you guys want dropped? A serious plot bomb? Irrelevant shipping bomb? Or maybe even something that ties plot and shipping together?
Why does Touma look so feminine recently?
The art is so shit these days
He's cute.
Something to do with IB/IT please. Yuiitsu commands WR now, so maybe she'll try to find a way to handle IB next.
I'm hoping we get a major character death at some point, don't really care who. Something that signals an actual shift into endgame, since I can't see it going back to the status quo now that Aleister's out of the tube. A shipping bomb could work if handled right, but a hard shift into a major romance subplot could totally torpedo the series if it goes wrong, which it probably would.
It's not bad, until you get to the damn chicken legs that is.
Since Mikoto is losing her mind, Othinus is a fairy and basically every other girl are either shit or currently irrelevant, Touma is vying for best girl.
But that's nothing new for Haimura
Starving.
I'd like a major character death too, frankly. Something to shake up the boring status quo. I think a lot of the recent disappointment in NT is how Othinus was handled and how such an event should have impacted the plot but didn't.
Touma is shit.
>5 Volumes in a row set entirely inside Academy City
Is that a record?
Since cutting off Kamisato's arm worked so well she will probably try it again to get IB. How much worse off will Mikoto be mentally after seeing Yuiitsu get eaten?
>the final battle of NT10 was broadcast to entire world
>everyone and their dog should've seen it thanks to teh internets
>no one in the world's most technologically advanced city realizes that Touma carries around a miniature version of the qt super terrorist he hugged the shit out of like a week ago
I call bullshit.
Touma finally punching someone in the face and going full TANOSHII when he remembers his life's purpose.
Misaka going completely off the deep end.
Mie taking down a level 5 and thinking she'll get recognized only to find out Hamazura did it first. Then she'll get close to him by calling him "teacher" and attempt for learn how to be a star.
I think so.
Every normal highschool student you can find anywhere has saved the world at least once, Touma just happened to be televised. They probably didn't care enough ot watch.
>>the final battle of NT10 was broadcast to entire world
I somehow keep forgetting how fucking bad NT10 was, holy shit. The concept was good and some of the fights were great, but most plot points really fucking sucked.
>she will probably try it again to get IB
It would be funny if Fiamma shows up and sees her about to try this and lectures her on how he already tried. Then she does it and it works thanks to the St. Germain virus, and Touma gets stuck with 24/7 dragon arm.
>Mie
Speaking of her, is she officially in the harem now?
Probably the same filter that obscured Touma on the TV feed of WWIII to the point that only Stalker-Biri could recognize him.
The High Priest's harem, yeah.
>The dragon is surprisingly chill after Touma teaches it to not eat his friends
>Touma then starts living with a headcrab, a head, a cat, a fairy and a dragon arm
Will GUTS unintentionally win the Misakibowl?
Goddammit, why is GIRD so smug?
To be honest NT doesn't really feel all that focus compared to OT. With OT everything eventually comes together. With NT it just feels like Kamachi is throwing in stuff that he likes just for the sake of it at times. Too many new characters that are easily thrown away later and old characters barely get any reference or screen-time. It doesn't help he keeps on repeating this process by throwing in more new characters.
There's no such thing as the misakibowl
People still give a shit about this?
>implying it wouldn't turn into a/several dragon girl/s and go after his dick.
NT15 seemed like it was headed in the direction of fixing this problem
She was clever enough to survive the battle royale without even breaking a fingernail, so she deserves to be smug.
>25 posters
Mikoto dying would be a necular bomb.
Killing her and keeping her brain functional to make her a test subject will be a bomb too.
It won't make much sense but I want Mikoto to form her own ruthless dark group. Fuck the Slut Brigade.
>Mikoto goes full Punisher-mode and becomes a vigilante in some misplaced quest to become powerful, loses sight of her original motivation (Touma)
>word gets around that the darling of the city, Tokiwadai's Railgun, is now a loose cannon
>mercenaries and Dark Side folks flock to her out of curiosity or ulterior motives, she lets them tag along
>some of the clones also return, as does Mikoto's dad, who asks Touma to snap his daughter out of the madness
>Mikoto Faction declares war against Academy City and puts up a surprisingly good fight (for one thing, shutting down the city's power)
>Touma has to stop Aleister's top goons from killing Mikoto while fighting off Mikoto herself, who no longer sees him as a love interest
Actual translation threads will reach much more. The first NT16 thread broke 100 easily.
This is actually what I think might happen to Accelerator. But it could also happen to Mikoto because I'm sure her brain would be useful in powering up/connecting to the Network
I wonder how HP will fuck with Touma's life in NT16
Wew look at dat ass.
>killing two of the franchise's most popular characters and keeping their brains for bullshit SCIENCE
Not only is this stupid as a development, it's also suicidal for the series.
Yuiitsu succeeds at infecting Touma with the St. Germaine virus and everything just starts tumbling down as he no longer restrains himself.
This would be interesting and I'd love to see it but it's impractical. If Mikoto did that, she'd have either Aleister himself or Aleister using his toys (Rensa? Controlled Accelerator? Kakine?) coming to kill her.
They should make some kind of comedy highschool spinoff of this, Like I seen all the shows and ovas and movie, but that's it. I don't want the lns; I have absolutely no interest in the plot at all, the waifus are excellent, I want to see them animated doing more kawaii shit.
>they all are gluttonous, bossy and sadistic tsundere lolis
A flashy suicide might be better than a slow decay.
>Controlled Accelerator
Can Aleister override Last Order or Willsaka?
>Kakine
>killing anybody
He'll muck it up somehow. I bet there'll be a scene where Kakine closes in for the kill and Touma jumps between him and Mikoto, fairy Othinus on Touma's shoulder shouts "Boo!" and Kakine shits his ectoplasmic pants.
For every super autistic fan that would shit themselves and boycott if anything happened to their favorite characters, there are 20 that are along for the ride and would accept whatever Kamachi decides to do.
I love both Accelerator and Mikoto. I wouldn't throw an autistic fit if either one of them died. I'm also far from the only person (western or Japanese) who thinks this way
>Can Aleister override Last Order or Willsaka?
Aleister could just pretend/reveal that he has a Kill-switch for LO and Accelerator will do anything he asks.
I usually love when New characters are introduced to expand the world. But, Kamachi took it too far to the point the cast is too bloated. I don't think even he knows what to do with all the characters he has created.
I can't get attached to the new characters once you know what kind of treatment they would get once Kamachi feels like he is done with them. The only ones who will still have some relevance is ones that Kamachi play favorites with.
>For every super autistic fan that would shit themselves and boycott if anything happened to their favorite characters, there are 20 that are along for the ride and would accept whatever Kamachi decides to do.
I think you got the ratio backwards, man
You underestimate the fanbase for this franchise.
Also 1 in 20 either way sounds generous.
This series is going to get a Bleach ending where half of the gigantic cast is forgotten or ignored, a dozen subplots are unresolved, and countless more questions left unanswered. Shipperfags will be BTFO because absolutely nothing will happen in that direction. People will call Touma a shit MC in the home stretch and then disperse dissatisfied after js06 translates the final chapter.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
Mie becomes the new protagonist and Touma becomes the final boss. I want to say that would never happen but then I remember Hamazura and "raise your hand if you thought the fight against the Magic Gods would continue a lot longer than this!" Fucking Kamachi.
>I don't think even he knows what to do with all the characters he has created.
From the NT10 epilogue:
>I quite like Amano Kaguya who is neither good nor evil and views the earth’s events from an outsider’s perspective, but I’m not sure I’ll ever have a chance to really use that in a story.
That's referring to the girl in the satellite that Accel has short chat with before getting shot at Finland. I think it proves that Kamachi just puts characters in that he thinks would be cool rather than planning their actual role in the plot. I don't mind that to a certain extent, especially when they only show up for a short while like Amano did, but when they get an entire volume like Salome did it seems like a total waste.
It's speculated that Will is some sort of back door/tool Aleister uses anyway. Even if this speculation is false he can definitely override her. There's also He also probably has an override/killswitch for Accelerator directly
