| Divine Phos is finally here. My only hope is that Phos doesn't pray and give the moon asses merry hell |
| I added my thoughts on the new phos design here. Some interesting concepts included, I love Divine Phos now. https://twitter.com/weebookey/status/1551290163632164864?s=21&t=BBtsh3hsGnHuKoYUT2FRVA |

| Phos attained a new form again, which just reminds me of |
| What does that mean when you passed the bridge, burn it? Was the doc implying to sensei to do something else that was programmed? Isn't the whole purpose to get rid of the lunarians, is there a point to keep them here? I hate the lunarians but now we have no choice but to get Phos to pray, there are no other life forms and with the lunarians gone, life can prosper once again. There must be a catch here. Well, now we know for sure that 10.000 years passed. |

| Ahh, as expected, my memories are fuzzy. Sensei, a praying machine, was told by the doctor that we see in this chapter the he can become the bridge to the new world. But then she told him to "burn the bridge" once he is there. What does that mean?! My brain couldn't keep up! "Divine" Phos is here with all the lunarians visiting them. What now? Do they want Phos to pray? My humanity wants them to F off, but I wonder what Phos will do. P.S. Oh yeah! Ichikawa has her own taiyaki machine now. We'll have a break next month because she wants to experiment with all sorts of taiyaki. 😭 |

| This chapter has some pretty interesting info: transition state? New world? Burn the bridge after you cross? And all the talk about how useless the humans were. If I understand this correctly then the Lunarians might be in for a surprise exactly my reaction lol |

| Holy shit that Phos's form, I guess that's probably the last one at this point but it's even more shocking seeing all they went through to end up like this... now the question is if Phos will pray or not |

Well, now we know for sure that 10.000 years passed. "Burn one's bridges" is an idiom with the meaning as "do something that can not be undone or reversed in the future". The "bridge" the doc implied here could also be refered to "三途の河"(the river of three crossings), a concept of Buddhism which originated in China. It has three crossing points: a bridge, a ford, and a spot where there is only deep serpent-infested water. Where one crosses depends on the weight of one’s offenses while alive. Those who performed acts of good while alive cross over a bridge adorned with seven treasures. Those whose karmic balance of good and evil is relatively even cross at a ford. Those who committed great evil must wade through deep water infested with hideous serpents. |
| Also “burn the bridges” at least in Latin America is a term for “closing windows” to toxic people, it means putting an end to certain harmful relationships. Cross the bridge, and after seeing all the bad stuff done to you from whatever is on the other side, burn the bridge so they can’t come to you again, and keep moving on to a new path. Don’t let them in - perfume genius |

| Human Phos seeing his past incarnation through Kongo's memories... "When you passed the bridge, burn it" Can this mean that Sensei never broke down but instead it was how Doc programmed him all along? kizumi91 said: We know that lunarians left before Kongo stopped praying are Aecmea + pit lunarians, who were the sinners among the lunarians. (the ones that were thrown in a pit in the moon and engaged in eternal cannibalism). I think it is possible that Kongo refuses to pray for these luanrians because they will "wade through deep water infested with hideous serpents""Burn one's bridges" is an idiom with the meaning as "do something that can not be undone or reversed in the future".

Senjuuu said: I really hope phos doesn't help them lol. Good chapter valentinenoah said: i love how that scene by the window was foreshadowed much earlier in the series. i honestly just stared at it with my jaw dropped for a few minutes, since i had almost completely forgotten about it. this chapter was peak. May I know which chapter is this? Was it in the anime or was it left out? Started reading this manga around where the anime end Chapter 41 page 17 |
| Damn, that new form of his tho. I didn't even realised it was her at first. |
I love bread |
| ooh, did not think of that at first :0 |
| Wait so it's implied mother reincarnated/became Phos? She said she dreamed that she turned into a mineral, a weak and pathetic one but an important one. Isn't that exactly what Phos is? Phos transformation is over. Will be interesting to see what she does. |
 |
| So, is Phos going to pray or not? Oh, I'm so nervous! |
