Too many eggs in a single basket.
I am starting to despair.
BTW: It seems ZOTT is not over.

THE ZOTT'S NOT GONNA BE OVER FOR A WHILE, EVERYONE. YEESH.

Is this how it's gonna be every chapter? "The ZOTT's not over...I don't care anymore."

Seriously.

^ Take a look at every manga with some fanbase and I'll garantee you'll find the exact same feelings expressed when a storyarch have been going for a while. "This is starting to drag" is by far the most commonly uttered response I've seen on manga-related forumboards. This ain't exclusive for Gunnm.

One example: There were signs of complete anarchy in the Gantz-fandom a while ago when the ongoing arch neared two years and people started to lose patience. It was total mayhem.

Hopefully, we'll avoid such civil-war-tendencies on this board.

Guys, you didn't understand me.
I (as well as many people here) had deduced from phase 82 that ZOTT had finished, simply.
It's true that I cannot read Japanese, but it's free to take conclusions, so…

Some of us don't think it's "dragging," is all, and I'm right tired of every chapter being met with unwarranted complaining both before and after it's released.

I agree.. i think its getting exciting..
hmm think ygrec did so something to rakan's foot.. and looks like he said something to him too.. so hes not out of the game.. wonder whats gonna happen.. cant wait.

gee this just get's more and more random all the time, ware is the story realy giong anymore, maby yukito is havein a brain fart, and im sure he want's to work on other storie;s now, cause all the knew faces are realy neat and yukito like's to throw in a lot about each charater's past, like the whole vilma side story, now ware wolve's, he must realy like monsters lol , but i like all the new faces but want more of the face that draged me into this story in the first place alita!

I get where you're coming from, but I'd like to think that since this battle literally involves the entire solar system, all faces should be represented. I think we'll see Mars sooner than people think.

Even if Homme du Feu is neutralized, isn't there another Guignol ?

Settle down, folks. The Tournament is nearly at an end. Once the Venusians are out of the way, it's on to the finals. I can't wait to see the real battle of the ZOTT; Space Angels vs. Space Karate Masters!

And the return of Ping! Mbadi dropping the Sword of Damocles! Desty Nova and Tzykrow with a new plan! Zazie's important message yet to be delivered!

Now, are the Space Angels outmatched, do you think? I mean, the Space Karate Masters now have 4 terribly powerful (but clearly not unbeatable) members. The Space Angels are currently just Gally, Sechs and Zazie. Think it would be a fair fight? Zekka has not shown us what he is truly capable of since he near-singlehandedly incinerated Anomaly. Heck, now that I think of it, we might lose a kareteka or two during this match.

And what will the Sword of Damocles do? It's obviously something, I believe, that Mbadi will use to lay low both teams at the apex of their battle. Who knows what it is, and what it's capable of!

I'm eager to see some of our other characters are up to...Nova and Tzyk on Mars, a hopefully healed Ping, Mbadi (who we haven't seen for at least 5 chapters)...I have a feeling that Kishiro knows what he's doing by making us wait...he's building a decent amount of tension.

Screw cleaning it, I'm having a hard time looking at it. I appreciate the effort, but I'll just wait for real scans.

Thanks for the camraw, much appriciated - and so soon, it's trealöly great to have a scan this soon, the quality isn't that good, but it's enough to get, what's going on, so the wait for the real scan won't be that bad.
Thx again!
btw
I loved Olympe this phase, she was really awesome, I'm really glad, that Pissarro (he's spelled like that, ain't he?) seems to be out of the game. But other than that a real freakshow as expected from the venusians, hehe.
Finally Zekka seems to be interested in the fight, wonmder how he'll fight against his old body, I really wonder, what Toji said right before Olympe sliced Pissarro in two?

I would fall in love with Olympe if she were fleshy. What a butt!!!

+1!

Mmmm, deeply enjoyed this chapter. Just when you think the Venusians are beaten Great Chtulhu himself makes an appearance!! There's always some spectacular images in Glo.

(This chapter also gave me serious flashbacks to the current situasion in Berserk)

Oh no, only 13 pages. But it happens a lot of stuff in it so I won't complain. Nice plot-developement, everything can happen now, even an abandonment by the venus team. Olymphe may plan to flee with Ygrec or she chooses his death (no life-span extension) instead of his existence as a monster. I totally agree on her, she looks beautiful here; again: Kishiro knows how to draw lovely women.

Toji might only talk about taking revenge for Taraba (is he already dead? I kind of liked him... a bit^^). He was weaker than Taraba and Cthulhu-Ygrec should be much more powerful than before, so Zekka could join any time. I am really exited about the next chapter, hehe, sadly enough it will take at least 5 weeks.

This quick raw-release sure was unexpected and nice but its not yet on raw-paradise, so I too hope for a better raw.

Olympe Fang Strike FOR THE WIN !!!

Zekka, finish of Homme du Feu fast, so we can finally have the main fight!
Alita vs Toji
Sechs vs Zekka
...

Going to be a sweet fight

So lobster dude is dead?
I like the last turn of event on the chapter, even though I believe Pissaro is probably not dead.
I'm also expecting Zekka to actually show up now that Ygrec got his "Gargantua" upgrade.

Depends if he had a organic or a chip brain...

So, it seems like venusian team sucked on all the parameters
