Mahou Sensei Negima

[bloody_ninja]

I was like "Wow" the whole chapter:argh...If he defeats Rakan shouldn't the villain(forgot his name) fight be a piece a cake.:oh

lol the villian will forfeit regardless because he doesn't want to die lo:Pl. He will either have to face Rakan, or someone stronger than Rakan:laugh

[Yagami1211]

Negi's awesome. Dude is a fucking genius !

[CoonDawg]

Doubt he'll beat him. I have a feeling that Rakan has more HP than what he can deal in damage.

Still think we'll learn something abotu his mom, though. Just what he did will probably cause Negi to recognize him as a man. He never said that the only way to be acknowledged as a man was to beat him, that was something that Negi came up with. He'll probably get a couple hints, win or lose.

[Lυ Bυ]

epic chapter :gar

[Charcan]

If Negi loses he'll become a mercenary or advertise magic shoes while Ako and the girls remain safe. Still waiting for the Demon World Arc and the Mars Arc.

[tulongdao]

I was like "Wow" the whole chapter:argh...If he defeats Rakan shouldn't the villain(forgot his name) fight be a piece a cake.:oh
no freaking way
didn't i mention that this technique wouldn't work that well if the opponent knew the technique because negi's fifth trump card is basically just absorbing the opponent's greatest attack and use it against them, if the opponent knows about it then they can just use attacks that doesn't consume huge amounts of magic.
with fate, he can just attack negi without using huge attacks like rakan and beat negi slowly bit by bit, since we know that fate is at least as strong as nagi and rakan, and without that technique negi can't beat rakan, so he can't beat fate

also, can negi's technique absorb spells like fate's petrification spell

[GsG]

Well whatever the outcome, once the battle is over, as long as Fate doesn't attack Negi and Rakan while they're down (might be hard for him to do so with Evangeline around), Negi can just go back into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and come up with new attacks in short period of times to use to square off against Fate. :zaru

[blazingshadow]

negi can always find a way to use kanka or absorb asuna/takamichi's kanka and beat fate with it.

[Dark Evangel]

Latest chapters is more like a Yu-gi-oh duel to me rather than generic shounen fighting. I like it this way even though Negi looks like SSJ3 Goku.

[Tyrannos]

I don't think Negi's going to be pulling the absorbing trick all the time. That seems to be a last-resort technique.

I think next chapter, Negi's going to punch Rakan in the stomach hard enough for him to feel it, but not enough to defeat him. Rakan will acknowledge Negi is a man and the fight ends.

[Nizuma Eiji]

Lulz @ SSJ3.
Why the fuck did his hair have to grow with his power up?
I guess if it worked for YuYu & DBZ it can work for Negima.

eva isn't really there
that is just a projection from her scroll

[Gene]

I don't even remember a scroll being seen or mentioned. Eva just kinda appeared out of nowhere. Was I supposed to assume that?

[blazingshadow]

it was said something about eva not really being there but she is eva. i think it's like a telephone call using the scroll

[tulongdao]

it was said something about eva not really being there but she is eva. i think it's like a telephone call using the scroll
you know they never mention that scroll being like a telephone but it is a interesting theory
i always thought that this eva is just a projection of eva made from negi's memory of her
just like what happen when negi used the scroll for the first time and had to fight eva in order to learn the dark magic

[bloody_ninja]

I don't even remember a scroll being seen or mentioned. Eva just kinda appeared out of nowhere. Was I supposed to assume that?

Bringing up Eva again, was it ever announced whether Rakan > Eva or the other way around.

Personally, I'd like to think Eva beats Rakan (and thought it was stated in the manga) , but I can't remember any evidence to back this up.

Obviously, the strongest would be Nagi, but it was never clearly stated who was next. Eva or Rakan.

And now including the bad guys as well, how strong exactly is Fate. Didn't Eva fight him off once? Does that mean Eva is stronger than Fate?

[Okkervil River]

Personally, I'd like to think Eva beats Rakan (and thought it was stated in the manga) , but I can't remember any evidence to back this up.


Wasn't the dragon or whatever Rakan stalemated said to be about as strong as Eva at one point? Or did I imagine that?

Lulz @ SSJ3.
Why the fuck did his hair have to grow with his power up?
I guess if it worked for YuYu & DBZ it can work for Negima.

You know, the first time I read the chapter, admittedly quickly, I didn't even notice the hair thing. It all just blended in with the whole lightning aura around him, and I assumed that's all it was. Looking at it now, though, it certainly is conspicuously DBZ-like, :notrust

In all honesty, I would be surprised if this blow actually fells Rakan. Not disappointed, really. Just surprised.

[Lollerman321]

Just as a thought. But Negi always finishes his fights with his Ouka houken. Till I see that attack, nothing is decided. By now, that thing should be powerful enough to split dimensions. Negi better not lose this fight, not with so much riding on it.

[Lollerman321]

Just as a thought as well. It's possible that Negi absorbed both Rakan's attack as well as the lance, and then once he's knocked Rakan down, just like with the demon, he'll release the lance point blank into Rakan, then fire the thousand bolts, which will be attracted to the lance same way a lightning rod is used.

Instant win.

On a side note, we've run into the Misora group, wonder when Takamichi and Mana will make their reappearance.

[blazingshadow]

Bringing up Eva again, was it ever announced whether Rakan > Eva or the other way around.eva said that rakan = eva for the most part.

wonder when Takamichi and Mana will make their reappearance.don't know about takamichi but mana will definately appear when it's time to kick ass

[Aku Shinigami]

So how much longer do you guys think this manga is going to keep going? It seems like with all of the developments we've been getting this arc that this or the very next one will be the last one. I mean we've already seen Negi's power level reach the point where it's about at Ala Rubra level, after this fight is done we should get the big reveal about what's up with his mom, so it seems like all that's really going to be left in the manga is the arc where Negi fights Fate, and then maybe one more to meet his Dad.

[Charcan]

I'd like it to keep going twice as long as right now to give screentime to Zazie, for example then beat the man behind the man and give closure to Chao's backstory.

[tulongdao]

who knows maybe there will be arc with negi going into the future to save chao from something or maybe he just got stuck in the future, something like that

[Dark Evangel]

I keep hearing that it's either going to end next 50 chapters which is unlikely or 200 more chapters which is probably Mars arc and Demon world arc.

[~Greed~]

I keep hearing that it's either going to end next 50 chapters which is unlikely or 200 more chapters which is probably Mars arc and Demon world arc.

well chao said that she would be back , so you could pretty much assume there will be a mars/chao arc.

[CoonDawg]

You have Chao, his mother, his father, and whatever teh Fate thing is about, which could be stretched to 9,000+ chapters.

My guess is this arc, then Chao/mars, then Father/underworld, then Fate/finale arc. Could easily be stretched more.

This is precisely why I want Negi to lose to Rakan. If he beats him, we are going to run into DBZ'ism very shortly. I doubt he'll win.

[Lord Darkwolf]

Nah even if he wins its not because he's stronger ....... far from it .... it's just he had tons of prep for this fight , knew his opponet well and basically outsmarted him. Put them in another fight fully healed after this one and watch Negi get smushed . He can win ONE battle against Rakan and keep his promise and not break the power bank .

[Jugger]

i got the feeling that in the end some last big fight negi will use his father power to beat something truely strong

[Ladd]

Well didn't KA say that MSN would be about 400 chapters long? That leaves room for this arc to finish, Nagi arc, a back to the future arc, and then the finale when shit hits the fan against whoever is Fate's superior.

[Vegitto-kun]

I cant believe this is the same negi who barely could handle child eva

[Kira U. Masaki]

^agreed, although the five trump card thing was an overkill, i just hope akamatsu isnt like wait theres more and rakan is unscathed again

[Ladd]

^agreed, although the five trump card thing was an overkill, i just hope akamatsu isnt like wait theres more and rakan is unscathed again

Tbh I wouldn't be too surprised if Rakan's durability exceeded his power output. He won't be unscathed, but I can see him still standing up afterwards.

[-Ender-]

quick question, has anyone here posted a theory or explanation as to how ppl r gonna find out about Fake Asuna?? :S :wtf Cause I have one and dont wanna repeat someone else :p :ano

[Ladd]

Please share :P

Also one thing I never quite understood was whether Fake Asuna actually knows that she's a fake. She's been acting pretty genuine so far. The only really suspicious thing she did was break Fate's page, which arguably could have been in character for real Asuna as well.

[Jugger]

Anya badge they find her then they find out about asuna

[Ladd]

Shame the group seems to have entirely forgotten about Anya. :zaru

[Valky]

Shame the group seems to have entirely forgotten about Anya. :zaru

LOL, that's very true. Poor Anya .. no one really worries about her, not even Negi.:cry

[blazingshadow]

anya is a mage that graduated in negi's class so negi probably thinks she is ok

[Lollerman321]

I was wondering about that too. It's like she shows up, disappears, and that's it. Bet you they'd even go home without her if the portal opens up.

As for how they figure out it's Fake Asuna, my guess is that Negi will get a moment of inspiration just like his father, and will simply blast a spell at Fake Asuna. When her magic cancel doesn't work, boom we've got her right where we want her.

Still, the way it's going, don't you think there's going to be a showdown between Negi and Asuna when he finds her, with her at full magic cancel power gone berserk cause she finds out the truth?

[Okkervil River]

Fake Asuna doesn't know she's Fake Asuna:

http://image.onemanga.com/007/mangas/00000020/000104702/03.jpg

As for how they find out, it may not be until Fate tells him and executes whatever plan he's inevitably scheming, though that would, I guess, look kind of bad for Negi.

And yeah, Anya, ;_;

[Lollerman321]

Still, with the whole Negi Vs Rakan debate, it has to be about the only time that I can think of where we are actively rooting for the hero to lose the fight. I can't think of any other situation where we are hoping the main character loses the fight. I guess that's just proof that the writer made Rakan seem like a total bad ass who can never lose. After all he's: "that damn guy that you can stab with swords all you like and it won't do a damn thing".

[-Ender-]

I think it'll be Yue that notices that its a fake Asuna...she has a knack for that sorta thing and she's especially talented in magic :zaru then as a test, will fire a magic spell @ her...and since only real Asuna has Magic Cancel, fake asuna is toast and exposed :zaru

[Lollerman321]

Only Problem with that is A) How will Yue return to the team, since they still have a bounty on their head, which Seras and the Politician dude seem to have completely forgotten, and for B) She used the artifact against Fate when Shiori made the switch, and we've learned that anybody who uses the artifact also gains that annoying magic cancel, so maybe she'll be fine as well?

[Puuuuuth]

Haven't we already concluded that the magic cancel in Asunas sword and the magic cancel in Asuna is different? As long as the fake Asuna doesn't guard with the sword she can be hit by magic since she doesn't possess Asunas own magic cancel.

By the way. Shouldn't Nodokas artifact work on the fake? How about Nodoka simply ask fake Asuna her name just for practice or for fun? She did upgrade her abilities so perhaps she will demonstrate the upgrades? That classmate with the running shoes as her artifact showed up. Perhaps she will ask the others what their artifacts are?

[Lollerman321]

Yeah, but I really don't see Nodoka testing her artifact for fun, and Shiori is under autosuggestion, so even she believes that she is truly Asuna. This probably means they aren't going to learn that she's the Fake till Fate lifts the spell from her, after he's got what he wants from Asuna. Still, why let her run loose till she got to Ostia, only to yank her there? Because opening her memories would be made easier?

[Okkervil River]

Nodoka revealing the fake on accident would be a little anti-climactic, I think. It's probably more likely that Negi somehow figures it out, which would provide for the most intense moment character-wise, or that no one does until Fate reveals it.

This thread reminds me how much I miss Yue, too.

[Puuuuuth]

Yeah, but I really don't see Nodoka testing her artifact for fun, and Shiori is under autosuggestion, so even she believes that she is truly Asuna. This probably means they aren't going to learn that she's the Fake till Fate lifts the spell from her, after he's got what he wants from Asuna. Still, why let her run loose till she got to Ostia, only to yank her there? Because opening her memories would be made easier?

I agree with you. But here is something I have been pondering about. Did that ring that Nodoka got that tells her a persons name actually read the persons mind in order to get the name? Of course, seeing as she have to ask the person it's name in order to get it seems to suggest that it reads the mind. But does it really?
Then there is the fact that, even if Shiori is under autosuggestion, if the ring does read the mind, how deep does it read? Shioris conciousnes is still there, somewhere beneth that autosuggestion. On that note, didn't Evangeline once say that Nodokas artifact was an inner conciousnes seeking artifact?

Not that I would mind Yue uncovering the impostor. I'm quite fond of her. I'm looking forward to her reunion with her friends. We have seen to little of her. Hopefully, she will make an appearance soon after the battle is over.

[Lollerman321]

The artifact itself is an inner seeking artifact, but the ring itself only pulls the name of the person as they see themselves. That was shown when Chika-tan came up with a crazy name of his own that he deliberately used to avoid revealing his real name. So with that, as long as Shiori believes she's Asuna, the name that will pop up is Asuna. Two questions though: One, will it be the fake name Asuna Kagurazaka, or her full name that she told Nagi. And Two, it's speculated that Nodoka received the mind reading powers because she wouldn't abuse it, so I can't come up with a situation where she would have to use it.

As for Yue's eventual return, how will they figure out her memory loss, and why would she link back up with them?

[Lollerman321]

You know, I just made the connection now. Back in Chapter 54, Konoe states that Fate came from the Istanbul Magic Association. When Ayaka reports about what she learned, she states that Nagi went missing in Istanbul 10 years ago.

This has to be significant, right?

[Blue_Panter_Ninja]

Rakan sux dicks :ho

[Ladd]

Nice catch, never noticed that. Very interesting. So now it's even more probable that Fate and/or his superiors were responsible?

[Lollerman321]

I don't know how accurate this is, but here's my theory. We've learned that Fate's real name is "third" in Latin. And we've confirmed that he seems to be a golem, or doll, or some sort of construct. So, the First Fate died when the mage of beginnings killed him. Then the second fate dueled Nagi 10 years ago in Istanbul, and it was a tie, but Nagi was sealed in some form or other. Then the third Fate shows up to complete the task that his prior two incarnations failed to do.

This implies that there is someone out there who is controlling Fate, and even if Negi defeats this Fate, another one is just going to pop up again.

Five bucks says that the mage of beginnings is alive and kicking.

[Ladd]

This also falls in with Eva's statement during the fight in Kyoto that Fate was like a doll.

[Okkervil River]

There has to be someone controlling Fate, whether it's the Mage of the Beginning or not (which it probably is), and it seems probable that Fate &c were intimately involved with Nagi's disappearance. I'd wager defeating Fate at the end of this arc, if it happens, just opens up a whole new can of worms, with Negi either finding out or being given big hints as to what really happened 10 years ago from Fate. Perhaps that will be the set-up for a new arc. Istanbul anyone?

Yeah, but Istanbul sucks this time of year. Weather is truly abysmal. Not to mention that they might want to get back to school at some point so his students, you know, don't fail due to too many missed absences. Either way, if the writer intends to wrap this up in 400 ish chapters, then the best bet would probably be another 40-50 chapters in this arc, (argh, which will be two years because of all the damn breaks he takes), and then a couple of school lite chapters, and then Christmas break we're off to Turkey, and we'll find a crystallized Nagi.

BTW, any thoughts on whether the Athletic club will be forming Pactios with Negi? And what do you think their artifacts will be?

fuck negi lost rakan is a beast

[Tyrannos]

Wow, that OAD ad! Looks we indeed are going to have the Magic World animated! (Well part of it!) :love

Yep, Rakan's a beast all right. Though looks like the fight's not over yet. :amuse

[tulongdao]

OMG i LOLed so bad when negi and rakan punch each other when they were going to shake hands ^^
negi is turning more and more into his father, that is exactly the kind of thing that i would expect nagi to do

[Jugger]

raw is out http://mangahelpers.com/downloads/details/21610

[tulongdao]

so in the end, the fight turn out to be a regular street brawl, so very YuYuHakusho, big magical fight in the beginning and then in the end, they turn into a fist fight.

GOD I LOVE MANGA

i cant read japanese but it looks like rakan is thinking that this fight is alot like the ones that he and nagi use to fight before, maybe even if negi lose this fight, rakan will acknowledge him as a man, but i keep getting this nagging feeling that rakan and the other people in Ala Rubra don't want negi to find out about his mother.ps
the above link doesn't work for me
i had to google search it to find the raw in manga helper

[GsG]

In before Knife Edge Death Match

So yeah, not surprising that Rakan got back up from that considering that the barrage of attacks he got this chapter was just the first real damage he received this match. He is far too built to go down that easily.

[Okkervil River]

Well, that chapter still managed to be epic (Rakan impaled + lightning was so =O) and sentimental all in one. Rakan's finally recognizing him as a man, :cry. Negima's so great.

[Tyrannos]

You know, it just occured to me regarding the "Mage of the Beginning". I wonder if he ends up being a woman, and not just any woman, but either Asuna's twin or a half of Asuna (the real one was split by magic).

Just throwing out a possibility. Definitely would cause people go to WTF if that did happn.

or negi mom that would also be a great twist and same time being somebody that we know

[Tyrannos]

It would, but the thing is that we know that the Mage of the Beginning isn't Arika.

"THIS GUY'S SO BROKEN IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY"

Ended exactly like I had hoped it would. He isn't imba but he still got what he wanted. Now, the good stuff can start.

A very good chapter, all in all.

Heh, could have used more Knife Edge Death Match and Kuwabara cheering them on, but still an awesome chapter. :zaru

=/. Asuna being his mother is maybe the one thing that would make me find this manga stupid. Seriously, talk about jumping the shark.

[Kira U. Masaki]

its funny that you mention that tyrannos because strictly speaking a mage - is a female term , a male magician is called a sage; although you cant put much stock in that cause the mage word has become so predominate as just a term for a magic user that i think most people forget this

and just for rosario ref. a succubus is female, an incubus is male

well can you blame them for thinking that negi won?
i mean the guy was IMPALED with that lance or spear made of concentrated lightning and magic and he was look like he is dead or passed out. who could blame the announcer for think that negi won, everyone else in the stadium thought the same thing

[blueblip]

What I'm wondering now is, if Rakan is this freakin' powerful (I don't think he ever tried to attack Negi first throughout the entire match), how haxxed is Nagi actually??

[Vegitto-kun]

I hoped they would show a little bit more than they did, right now I am pumped for the 4th OAD.

[Kira Yamato]

I hoped they would show a little bit more than they did, right now I am pumped for the 4th OAD.

I don't think there's a 4th OAD. Ala Alba was suppose to be only 3 episodes.

We have to wait until September '09 for Mahou Sensei Negima! OVA Mahou Sekai to be released. Following in the same footsteps as Ala Alba the 4 episode OVA should animate certain parts of the manga. Which parts, I'm not sure yet.

[Serp]

Oh thanks for... Crushing my dreams!:cry

[Charcan]

THIS GUY'S SO BROKEN IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY

it should become classic like light just as planned and vegeta over 9000

That's a very genre savvy thing to say, it had to be Chisame, has any other shonen ever uttered it about a character?

CHapter 249 spoilers are out

http://astronerdboy.blogspot.com/2009/04/negima-chapter-249-spoiler-images.html

Fighting is over probably rakan won he gave money to free slaves

[GsG]

It hardly looks like Negi was in a fight just a bit ago while Rakan has all those bandages. :zaru

Now I wonder how long it will be until they realize the Asuna situation.

well they need find yue and anya next after finding anya is most likely but there is possibly that they go after yue first and it takes time.

[Yagami1211]

Epic finish was epic ! Negi really gave Rakan a run for his money.

I hope my sig is not too much :hmm

[Charcan]

I wouldn't mind another flashback story now by Rakan.

[Tracespeck]

Looks like no chapter until May 13th (after this one). :(

[Ladd]

I need my favorite blonde vampire :hurr !

and 1 extra week break so that 2 week break

[Platinum]

^^ Are you serious? god damn it :pek

[Tyrannos]

I think it's only one week wait this time.

Usually the extra week is from the Emperor's Birthday (which is the week before Golden Week). But this year it's on a Wednesday, which means we should get that week's manga.

It's being said that he's taking a week off after golden week, making it a two week wait. My information is from reading the comments here:

http://astronerdboy.blogspot.com/2009/04/negima-chapter-249-spoiler-images.html

[Tyrannos]

Well, I'm not a mind reader. :P

Okay, 2 weeks wait then. No problem, not like we go crazy waiting that long. Unlike waiting for the Big 3. :wink

Well, the girls are free. And seems Negi is feelings some of the side-effects from using Magica Erebia. :huh

[Ladd]

I loved the Negi vs Rakan fight, but it's good that we're back to the main plot :)

[blazingshadow]

about time Negi showed side effects. Magia Erebea is a curse after all so i wonder what would happen when it takes over his soul. is it like a drug that makes him addicted like some sort of WoW Blood Elf?

[GsG]

Illidad, Kael, and the Blood Elves? He better be careful the scourge doesn't sweep him up. :zaru

Well now. Maybe Negi can get back into Evangeline's scroll to heal, come up with some new techniques and prepare to fight Fate since his trump cards have already been seen by him. Maybe fake Asuna will show up or something.

[Aku Shinigami]

by the way just a quick note for any Negima fan who posts in the OBD. Anytime someone brings up the Pell feat feel free to counter with this feat I found way back in the Chao arc when I was working on the respect thread for Negi.

Negi is about 1.5m away from Chao, Chao activates Cassieopeia and then Negi stops it before it can do anything. Using the figures from earlier in the manga that cassiopeia requires nanosecond reaction times, negi's speed is 1.5m/1x10^9seconds, which is 1.5x10^9m/s, which is 5 times the speed of light.

actually that is just bad translation there about negi moving at the speed of light
i have the book translated in english from delrey and what chao say was "that was a pretty good shundo"

I don't remember the boner scene, but I DO remember the bathtub sexual assault on a minor, though.

I do not, scan?:ho

[Vegitto-kun]

I call that trying to give him a boner since she seemed more concerned on the fact that he didn't get hard

I wonder what would happen now :ho

Hey, maybe Akamatsu will make good on the potential and go all the way giving him time manipulation speed when Chao comes back. :authorlurk:

Rakan, the broken human atomic bomb. Awesome.

[Dark Evangel]

Why does scroll Eva looks like she's on drugs? Her eyes is so different compared to the real one.

[CoonDawg]

Yeah I noticed that too, she's quite creepy. And seems a little older, too.

[Nizuma Eiji]

Lol why is it that Ken a mangaka known for his romance has fights better than a lot of regular shounen mangas?

[CoonDawg]

Yeah it's kinda weird. But even more so is that his artwork is now superb, one of my favorites overall. It's simple, but unique.

[Tyrannos]

Yep, that's why Ken's one of the best! :kthumb

And though we will have a 3 week wait, we know he's going to be working hard during those three weeks and give us an interesting start to the next part of the Magic World Arc. :whoo

Of course it will be a downtime chapter with some antics, which I hope will revolve around the Aradune Knights. Eventually them reuniting with Yue, right as the action starts with Fate.



The Human Atomic Bomb. :lmao

[Nizuma Eiji]

^3 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??? Sweet zombie Jesus.

I gotta start reading the messages at the end of the chapter.

I thought there were only two weeks?

golden week and a extra week the mangaka is taking

[tulongdao]

you know, i dont know why negi and his friends never consider asking ricardo and the headmistress of the magical academy for help in finding yue and anya, the last two "missing" (we all know where they are) members.
with their connections from both side of the country, theoretically finding those two should be a snap and if negi give a picture of yue to the headmistress, they would have found yue just like that *snap fingers*, since the headmistress taken an interest to yue.

[Tyrannos]

I thought there were only two weeks?

golden week and a extra week the mangaka is taking

Technically speaking, Golden Week is indeed a week long (April 29th to May 5th). But the calander has April 29th on one week and the other holidays in the next week, thus Golden Week is 2 weeks long.

Besides, the message at the end of Chapter 249 it saying the manga is on break until May 13th. (3 weeks from now). :P

[Gene]

Yes, technically the approximate wait time is 3 weeks from now, but of course we're looking at it on a chapter by week basis which would be 2 weeks of no Negima.

[Dark Evangel]

Yeah it's kinda weird. But even more so is that his artwork is now superb, one of my favorites overall. It's simple, but unique.The art in AI Love You is really different compared to Love Hina and Negima.

http://mangahut.com/manga/Ai_Ga_Tomaranai/001/pg1

[uchihasurvivor]

Ai love you artwork get much better in the last volumes, it looks exactly as the love hina artwork.

[Tyrannos]

To me, Ken's artwork in Ai Love You (his first manga) resembles more of Fujishima's (Ah! My Goddess).

But I'm glad over the years, he found his own style and is what we know and love today. :grin

Yes, technically the approximate wait time is 3 weeks from now, but of course we're looking at it on a chapter by week basis which would be 2 weeks of no Negima.

But the next chapter doesn't go on sale until the 13th. So unless we have an insider giving us spoilers ahead of time. It's still a 3 week wait. :P

[Vegitto-kun]

watched the third episode of ala alba, are there more on the way or is this another "hey we quit at the best parts"

[CoonDawg]

I didn't read Ai Love You, but that is to be expected. ALY was written in early-mid '90's, right? All old-school mangas look like that to some degree. Sooooooooo happy we got over that style... I hate it.

[Lollerman321]

Yeah, Shaft is going to produce a second set of OVAs that will start with Ala Alba landing in London and probably going up to the point where Negi and Kotaro begin fighting. If these sell as well as the original three did (245,000 sold versus 80,000 expected) then there will be a movie being released probably Summer 2010. And if that sells well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a third season. Well, one can hope, right?

[al103]

then there will be a movie being released probably Summer 2010.

There is no Negima anime... and never would... DAMN YOU SHAFT!

[Dark Evangel]

The previous OVAs are all waste of time, money, and effort. Seriously, why can't they just stop animating those filler quality fanservice and slice of life chapters and focused more on the storyline?

[GsG]

Animated Negi vs Rakan fight please.

[Ladd]

Animated Negi vs Rakan fight please.

Do want..............

[Jugger]

Animated Negi vs Rakan fight please.

That would be awsome :nuts

[Lollerman321]

The previous OVAs are all waste of time, money, and effort. Seriously, why can't they just stop animating those filler quality fanservice and slice of life chapters and focused more on the storyline?

The real problem is that Shaft is treading in new territory when it comes to fight scenes where you can't randomly throw in references to 90's pop culture and whatever else jumps into Shaft's head. Though it would be win to see Negi/Rakan duking it out.

Still, the one thing I am angry about is that in the original way back when, the characters yelled out their attacks in the traditional latin that is used in the translated texts. Whereas in the Shaft production, they just use traditional japanese, and to me, it kinda takes some of the "realism" out of it, since Negi is supposed to be a traditional European mage, etc.

I know, willing suspension of disbelief and all that, but still.

[~Greed~]

The previous OVAs are all waste of time, money, and effort. Seriously, why can't they just stop animating those filler quality fanservice and slice of life chapters and focused more on the storyline?

I agree with you completely, it would have been better to see the whole chao vs negi fight or the martial arts tournament. the only things they animated were filler and fanservice moments which really sucks:sag.


also I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if when chao comes back she brings a casssiopiea suit for for negi? he would essiencially be faster then lightspeed if he has one of those+lightning god form. I really wish that chao returns soon....

[blazingshadow]

cassiopeia gives you faster than speed of light but combining it with lightning form doesn't do much other than shave off a few microseconds of your reaction time to activate it. ot's not like lightning form + cassiopeia suit = 2-3 times the speed of light

[Aku Shinigami]

Allright I finally finished the Negi respect thread all the way up to the current chapter. Let me know if I missed anything.

[Kira U. Masaki]

Yeah, Shaft is going to produce a second set of OVAs that will start with Ala Alba landing in London and probably going up to the point where Negi and Kotaro begin fighting. If these sell as well as the original three did (245,000 sold versus 80,000 expected) then there will be a movie being released probably Summer 2010.

i havent watched the new ovas yet, but how exactly do they relate to the two shows, because the first show basically followed the manga with the last few episodes changed to give some of a conclusion, while the second series !? is not really following the manga and Ken even made a second manga called Negima Neo for it

im curious then how the new ovas work, do they relate to the first series and retconn or skip the last few episodes or what, id be really curious cause id like to see another season as well , but didnt think it was possible with how the botched the end of the first season/ botched imo the second season

[~Greed~]

I still say that lightning god negi+cassiopeia suit would be godly.I think it would put negi in up with the ultra high-tiers with nagi and the sage of the beginning.

I really just want chao to come back though , she was epic. does anyone think that chaos magic absorption technique has somthing to do with ME? it was very similer in the way it worked...

[blazingshadow]

negi doesn't need cassiopeia. it would only make him a little faster not stronger. he doesn't need to get faster anyways unless you are fighting against rakan in a cassiopeia suit and even then cassiopeia is better used to go to the past and make plans to avoid a bad future

did chao absorb magic? i don't remember

[~Greed~]

negi doesn't need cassiopeia. it would only make him a little faster not stronger.

he doesn't need to be strong if he can time stop everyone and blitz them. thell never be able to hit him if he has cassiopiea, the only reason chao and negi could hit eachother was because both had cassiopeias. chao was owning takamichi, setsuna and kaede because they couldn't hit her.

he doesn't need to get faster anyways unless you are fighting against rakan in a cassiopeia suit and even then cassiopeia is better used to go to the past and make plans to avoid a bad future

cassiopiea can only take long jumps to the past when the world tree is glowing. and even then, after one long jump, the cassiopeia will break.

did chao absorb magic? i don't remember

I guess its not exactly the same, but it does say that she is channeling magic through her body and its causing her great pain.

[blazingshadow]

he doesn't need to be strong if he can time stop everyone and blitz them. thell never be able to hit him if he has cassiopiea, the only reason chao and negi could hit eachother was because both had cassiopeias. chao was owning takamichi, setsuna and kaede because they couldn't hit herhe can go as fast as lightning, unless somebody else is just as fast or faster than that negi doesn't need cassiopeia. he does need to come up with some ability that can take out rakan in a few hits though. if he doesn't he will end up exhausted while not doing enough damage to the enemy (he can't always count on fooling the enemy into giving his power to negi for a finishing blow)

also nope that is different from magia erebea but chao might have had inspiration from it (the author might have had inspiration from fate stay night and tsukihime though)

[Tyrannos]

The new OVAs aren't connected to the Negima! or the Negima!? anime's, they are canon events out of the manga.

And Ken didn't really botched the Negima! anime. If you recall at the time the first anime was drawn, we were barely in the Wilhelm Arc. So they couldn't do a long-term series like Bleach and Naruto, so they had to be creative and work out an alternate ending.

But from what we hear, Ken is has some sort of plans revolving around the Magic World Arc if the Ala Alba OVA's were a success (and I do believe they were). So given a year or two, we might get to see the Magic World animated and perhaps another restart (a canon restart) of the anime.

[spaZ]

[Tracespeck]

and perhaps another restart (a canon restart) of the anime.

That would be great, I hope it happens. I have no idea why this manga isn't more popular, I mean it's not unpopular but it's much better then the popularity it has.

[Kira U. Masaki]

well the first series is canon, its exactly what happens in the manga, except for the last 5 or so episodes; and im not saying ken botched it, its who ever was in charge of the anime

see i wouldnt like a restart , because it would just be a repeat of the first series, and even then it would be werid because the ovas take place later, so it would be kind of whack; but i guess if he makes a new series after the ova , ill just view it as first 15-20 episode of negima - ovas - new series as the canon run

[Tyrannos]

Well, looks like our wait for the Animation of the Magic World Arc is sooner than we expected: :amuse

Negi's party withstood the rigorous training with Eva. The course ends, and to search for Negi's father, Nagi, they quickly head to Wales! After opening the door to the Magic World, Negi's party sets out. What will be in store for the gang as they search for Nagi?

It's not Ken's fault nor the Anime teams. Remember there wasn't much to the manga 4 years ago, so they couldn't do anything longer than a 26 episode series and they had to change it to have some kind of closure that animes tend to have.

But I wouldn't look down on restarts, look at what they did with the redoing of Full Metal Alchemist? If done right, they can alter it but not change canon at the same time.

[GsG]

I wish the animes wouldn't start until the manga finish first for all series, so we can get a direct translation, but hey that's just me. :zaru

[Tyrannos]

Well, normally I would agree with you. There shouldn't be an anime of a series until it's done or close to being done. But since this is an OAD of the first part of the Magic World Arc, by the time we get to the ending, Ken most likely would've finished the arc in the manga.

I'm just wondering if we get to see the first part of the searching? I'm sure some of us would love to see that certain Chisame scene. :druul

Sweet, the spoilers include a full-page add of the upcoming Magic-World Arc. :whoo

If I'm reading this right, Magic World OAD 1 isn't coming out until September 17th (Nice birthday present! :hehee) and is in Volume 27. And OAD 2 is out on November 17th, in Volume 28.

And most likely the Magic World Arc would be over before the first OAD is out.

[keikai24]

Has anyone added up the time negi spent in eva's training sphere and scroll?
The reason I ask is because I'm tryin to see how much he has aged body wise.

[al103]

We can't be sure how much time he spent there in the first place. We can be fairly sure that he is at least 11 right now (at least 2 month of "compressed" training right before England + about that before it + 3 month at minimum at "normal" training rate + 1 month in resort in MW + "real age" about 10 and 1/4) and most likely closer to 12 then 11... not likely to be much older then 12 though. I discount time for about a month in Eva scroll + unknown time training in scroll to gain Magia Erebia because they age mind, not body.

[tulongdao]

looks like paru was explaining to all the other girls that don't know about magic about pactio and that they should do it with negi

and it is about time they have yue meet up with negi's party and who better to do it than her best friend, but i was hoping that it was negi and when yue looks at negi she remember her love for negi and regain her memory, maybe im a romantic that way ^^

[Jinchuriki-san]

Isn't the Asuna among them an imposter?

Why does she truly act like the real thing? She hasn't said a word to herself in regards to her mission. Was her artifact more than just simple shapeshifting?

She already blushed when meeting him on duty. I like that pairing, really. I also have to give credit to Akamatsu for making characters like Emily and Kotaro, which I like now even if at first I didn't.

They thought that yue was also captured. we are going to see kissing chapter lol. Paru find out that natsumi like koutaro. Yuuna is going to beat shit out of fate people she was ready to go

[Kira Yamato]

lol, let the quest to secure a pactio with Negi begin!! :lmao

[GsG]

Always nice to see Nodoka blushing. Makie was very cute this chapter as well. :hurr

[Puuuuuth]

Do you think they will figure out that Asuna is a fake now? They have found Yue and at the same time, they get 2 readings from where Fate and his troops are. I guess the real Asuna is still carrying the white wing.
By the way, why couldn't they detect Yue's white wing? She still has it doesn't she?

I'm also hoping that there will be pactios in the next chapter. It will up their combat power and if Negi still have his artifact then he could use any artifacts they aquire through pactios. So even if the new girls wouldn't be of any help on the field, they could still help with providing useful equipment by doing this.

[tulongdao]

Setsuna in the hood looks soooooooo like Chao in the hood... resemblance strikes again...
hell yeah
at first i was like, WHAAAA how the hell did they get chao back from the future?
then i look at it some more and found out that setsuna wasnt in the picture and figure out that she is setsuna and not chao

[Tyrannos]

Well the wait was worth it. And looks like next week they will start to realize that there is a phoney in their midst. Not only that, but the Sports Team is most likely going to be the deciding factor in the fight to come.

But the one thing I disliked this chapter was that Negi's speech seemed to contradict itself. First he's like "we can't let Fate have his way" then goes "we're going to avoid fighting, and we are going to grab Anya and "Yue" and get back home!"

[Kira Yamato]

Always nice to see Nodoka blushing. Makie was very cute this chapter as well. :hurr

Yeah, she pretty much starting two and two together and figured another rival has appeared :awesome

[blazingshadow]

i wonder how long is it going to take to bring yue's memories back and bring her back to the rest of the party. also is rakan going to help negi or is he going to sit back and watch the fireworks until everyone is in trouble?

rakan is going to show when everything get hopeless and beats shit out fate and co :laugh

[Ladd]

Well, the wait was worth it. Great chapter. So now they've found Yue, I wonder what they'll think about getting two signals from Fate's place.

Also, Shiori's copy cat ability is really good. I had to constantly remind myself that it was a fake every time I saw Asuna.

On another note, I thought the art was very good this chapter.

Translating a complicated Japanese sentence like that into English never comes out right. Their negatives, double negatives and tenses are so different from English it gets confusing.

[~Greed~]

after re-reading some of the old chapters , I realized somthing......why can't negi just summon his pactio members by using the pactio cards ability to summon the pactio holder? shouldn't he just be able to summon yue and co.? I can't find a scan right now , But im sure that the pactio card has this ability. is it posible its a plot hole?

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned shortly after the separation that there was a limit on from how far people could be summoned from.

hmm, that makes sense, nevermind then.

[Charcan]

Can't wait to see the Yue reunion unfolding and Fate spoiling their day.

[-Ender-]

next chapter will be Yue reunion (cause Negi's w/them) and then it'll be the Pactio chapter :zaru Think Incho from the Knight Academy will join in? :LOS :hehee

[GsG]

I wonder if half of next chapter will be about pactios and kisses. :zaru

[Tyrannos]

Honestly doubt she would be added to the fold. But I do see the possibility of her witnessing the pactios and wanting to join in, then the girls gang up on her going, "Oh no you don't, bitch! He's mine!" :P

[-Ender-]

well shes actually more after nagi then negi XD

[CoonDawg]

We need to see some nips. We haven't seen any since that bath chapter with Ako, and she doesn't count.

I doubt the Yue thing will be dealt with next chapter. Too anti-climactic. What'll happen is the magic-world Incho will scream for guards (seeing Negi, wh's hardly in disguise...) and then Negi will run away, and he'll be chased, and Yue will help with the chase because she has to (and of course wants to know who he is), and then they'll meet up in some cave, and it'll start storming, and he'll say "We should stay in here until it lets up", and she'll blush and say OK, and then they will take off their wet clothes, and then Yue will suddenly remember and jump on him and ride him like Ryan Dirteater rides a bull, and then Yue will have 3 children, 2 girls and one boy, and then Negi will abandon them like his father did him, and then they'll all end up working at a gas station until Nodoka comes by and tells them they're from a magical family, and then they will fight mechas.

My theory anyway.

[GsG]

That or we'll have another bath chapter to troll the fans who want more story.

[Ladd]

We've gone without a comedy orientated chapter for a while now, so I wouldn't be too surprised if next chapter was about Pactios and kisses.

Enigma's scanlation is much clearer on this part. Actually I think all the translations in theirs are better. But anyways, Negi basically says as long as Fate's group does not appear to be destroying the world in the immediate future, they'll avoid combat as much as possible.

[El Torero]

I´m currently by chapter 146. Until now, my favourite character is Makie, I would like to her to make a Pact with Negi :LOS

But sometimes Makie is a little stupid, if she doesn´t have a character development in the future I think Yue will steal her the ''my favourite character'' spot :argh

Well better, but the way you put it seems like he's going to overlook Fate's plan if it's not going to immediately destroy the Magic World. Not a heroic thing to do.

[Gene]

Negi's utmost priority is to get his students back safely. He can always go back to the Magical World later if he wants to kick Fate's ass.

[Tyrannos]

Be hard to do if Fate closed that last door after Negi leaves. And Negi would've condemned millions of people to whatever what Fate had planned.

[Okkervil River]

Well better, but the way you put it seems like he's going to overlook Fate's plan if it's not going to immediately destroy the Magic World. Not a heroic thing to do.

I think part of the point is that Negi sees himself as a teacher before he sees himself as a "hero," which is just another difference between him and his father.

[Gene]

Then Negi will just stay behind with the elite members of his harem while his other students go through the gate.

[Tracespeck]

Other people in the magic world know about Fate and his plans (Rakkan, leaders on both sides), I don't know why anyone would expect Negi to have to handle everything and it would also be wrong to pull all his students into a battle that could last a very long time. Really it's a no-win situation for Negi.

[CoonDawg]

Be hard to do if Fate closed that last door after Negi leaves. And Negi would've condemned millions of people to whatever what Fate had planned.

Negi isn't a cop, he's a 9 year old teacher. It really isn't his problem. And no matter how how badassery Negi has, he's still low on the "hero" scale. In a normal situation, Rakan would have kicked Negi's ass. As would the ancient dragons, as would high-level soldiers.

All the governments of the magic world know of Fate. They can deal with him.

Of course, this IS a Shounen manga about a boy, so he'll surely be the one to save the world, but from a logical standpoint, this isn't Negi's fight. His students >>>>>>>> the magic world.

[Tyrannos]

Exactly, it's a shonen manga. Meaning Negi's going to ignore the villian's actions. :wink

[Jugger]

Here are spoilers http://astronerdboy.blogspot.com/2009/05/negima-chapter-251-spoiler-images.html

[GsG]

Threre we go. There goes my nude school girls. Good job on Nodoka. Needs more nude Makie though. Good to see Yue and Negi talking though.

In other news, it seems like there's going to be some discussion going on with those personnel.

[Tyrannos]

Bless you, Negi! :grin

Well, don't think Incho isn't going to be much of a fan now. :LOS


BTW, is it me or that last panel is Zecht and Takamichi?

[Tracespeck]

They look different to me http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_abkMP58OLUA/Sg8mbq8GyWI/AAAAAAAANb4/hDoLaLbeIgY/s1600-h/251-08.jpg

[GsG]

Everyone seems to be blushing when they look at Negi. I guess I should have just expected that though. :zaru

[Tyrannos]

They look different to me http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_abkMP58OLUA/Sg8mbq8GyWI/AAAAAAAANb4/hDoLaLbeIgY/s1600-h/251-08.jpg

Yep, not him.

Guessing from the garb, he's either part of the Imperial Guard or something related to law enforcement.

In any case, looks like Negi's busted. :(

[Tracespeck]

I doubt it, probably more friends he doesn't know he has. I'd say the law enforcement is correct though.

[GsG]

Negi escaped containment before from his school academy. If he gets caught, I'm sure something will happen that will cause him to get out again.

[Tyrannos]

Of course, he's partners with a Princess of the Hellas Empire. :wink


BTW, G. Nice Mikado-sensei sig! :jir_thumb

[Jugger]

raw is out http://mangahelpers.com/downloads/details/28920

[GsG]

Lol did Negi just try to pull a Rakan there. :zaru
I admit I missed the good ole girls clothes getting ripped apart by accident every time Negi tries a spell or something. Good to see with a lot of girls this time.

[Dark Evangel]

Arika in a colored picture? It's awesome.

[xxBakaAkki]

Arika in a colored picture? It's awesome.

Yeah and did you notice her eye colors? Same blue/green as Asuna. Can't wait to find out how they're related by blood... :awesome

[Ladd]

This does not fare well for my NegixAsuna pairing :(

[Tyrannos]

Yep, the heterochromia must be a distinctive trait of the Ostian royal family.

But I find it interesting that her eyes are opposites of Asuna's. If Arika's hair wasn't blond, but orange, I'd have the inclination to believe they are one half of the same coin. :wink

[Charcan]

Yue-centric chapter. :iria

I never liked the AsunaxNegi pairing that much. They should be better off as relatives. Wonder what Ayaka would think of it. :/

[blazingshadow]

i had to think for a while to relate the princess eyes with asuna's. damn hentai artists always fuck up the different colors of asuna's eyes

[Jugger]

tranlation is out http://mangahelpers.com/t/cnet128/releases/12444

govenment don´t like negi what is going on?

[GsG]

Well Negi should have sufficient intelligence to get out of any problems with some well thought out discussion in a conversation with the officials.

[Gene]

Scanlation out.

[Enigma!] Mahou Sensei Negima! Ch. 251 (http://mangahelpers.com/s/enigma/details/29105)

[Kira U. Masaki]

great chapter although it seems like trouble is brewing, but the each time yue fainted made lawlz

[bloody_ninja]

I wonder if the govenor general of ostia a friend or foe.
