THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
Not sure how to feel with this chapter...

Looks like Wave got the power up he so badly wanted. Not too big of a fan of it tbh

Nice symbolism with Kurome's sword getting smashed.

Tatsumi now has bunny ears!

Really need a translation to judge this chapter properly.

They rarely turn out wrong. I'd love to be proven wrong but it almost never happens. AGK has been in a downward spiral for months

There is no raws. Just Korean scans.
Manga will end different than anime: Grand Chariot briefly combined with Mastema , Kurome survived, Wave destroyed her sword and they left Jeagers, Tatsumi's dragonifcation continues and he has now horns.

I can agree about Wave's power up. I was hoping he be fusing with his armor like Tatsumi did. But he ends up using something else which I will not say much here. Which seems out of place if anything. But I am glad that the author took a different route. I mean the anime literally spoiled and ruined it greatly if any of you guys actually watched it. XP

My personal taste aside (I wanted to see Kurome dead and Wave going berserk,giving us a good fight vs Akame/Tatsumi/Leone),the chapter was totally anti-climatic and with its 30 whatsoever panels managed to destroy everything that was built up in the previous 5 or 6 ones. There were so many things that were too rushed. Tatsumi using up one of his transformations only for a short clash with Wave,seemingly Wave's sole raison d'être/accomplishment in the manga was to save Kurome (again),he shortly wields the two teigu without the training Esdeath had promised him and in the end they laugh it all away as if all the conflicts had never happened. Also the WaveXKurome seems surreal. Imo this is fanservice,Takahiro simply giving in to the fanbase's demand for the ship as it has been hyped for a time. I thought that was a shonen series so what the heck is with this overdose estrogen?! I can understand people wishing for a happy end,but it is so over the top that it simply ruined the manga's basic tone. I personally would have maybe been okay with the outcome if it had been presented in 2 or more chaps and not so hurriedly.

Akame ga Kill is my favorite manga but for a while now the series hasn't been one that I was proud of, but I can say with this chapter that I'm truly happy to call myself a fan and my hat goes off to Takahiro

That chapter was fucking GOAT

So it's a problem now that it doesn't follow the standard bullshit shounen protocoll, absolutely lacks any edge this time and one happy ending for once.

I'm now waiting for the "OMG, the Akame-Kurome clash wasn't even a fight, where is all my blood and retarded abilities" fanbois.

Also, there is no random Danger Beast coming of nowhere in the fight. That makes the fight 1000 times better that in the anime's version.

Chelsea fanboys will be very butthurt after reading this xD. The saltstorm will be epic.

The main part that I did not like is that it was too rushed. I don't ask for bloodshed or a strict adherence to genre convention,but for a proper depiction of a conflict and not what seems to be a resume of 3 chaps that never happened. Since Wave got more spotlight,the author introduced certain ideas that would have had great potential.
What I meant to point out is that the potential of these ideas was not fully exploited. My pardon in case I did not convey that properly.

Even
Before wave used runs tegui when he and tatsumi punched they seemed even in power (probally since wave has reached perfect
Strength) but
Wave lacked the sped
Thanks to runs tegui he fixed that meaning wave now has power and speed. I have a feeling it's
Going to be wave and tatsumi bs Esdeath(since she unlocked a new power and ends up harming people so wave and tatsumi
Team up to
Stop her)

Personally, I think it's still too soon to celebrate. I'm glad this didn't follow the anime, but the author might pull the rug right under us and kill the two (Kurome and Wave) together in a much more sadder death (like a Shakespeare tragedy) in the next chapter (or after the next couple of chapters). It's like, in the moment of relief, the author will pull a greater asshole/despair moment right under our nose to evoke a much more deeper feeling and reaction.

True, people are always going to complain no matter which side this goes (Kurome dying or surviving). Personally, I'm very happy how this turn out so far and didn't think it was anti-climatic at all (don't know what you or others would think of it).

In fact, it was totally unexpected (to me at least) considering this series's pattern.

Even though I couldn't understand a word, looks like an interesting chapter. I'm not sure how I feel about Tatsumi using another Incursio transformation but then I guess they're pushing for the issue of his transformation into Tyrant sooner rather than later (did everyone notice Tatsumi's hand and horns? ). Wave's new transformation is pretty interesting. I didn't really see that coming.

That's exactly it. Without the mortality of the majority of its cast, AGK is a sub average shounen.

Pretty sure the conversation with wave and esdeath (sorry if i misspell) gave a hint to that transformation with wave

I have a feeling their going
To have tatsumi and wave fight Esdeath together since
I don't think the author would give wave a power up to Wave for a
Random reason he is likely has plan for Wave to hae it
(I swear
They better not use shirkotazer because that was stupid)

I found out from a freind that when Wave and tatsumi have that clash with explosion the big words on the side translate to Wings Grand Fall(probally the name for the enchanced grand fall used with mastema)

Wave could fly but not even near the level Run could, Wave was already as strong as tatsumi In terms of Strength as shown when they punched each other and were equal with niether one bugging but wave didn't have the reaction time tatsumi did as tatsumi pulled out 8 punches while Wave only pulled out 6. Runs tegui increases Waves fly speed and gives him ranged and also gives him gods wings plus he also gets him impact damage boost from flying at high speeds than hitting his enemy.
