Air Gear

[Agmaster]

Returning to Air Gear discussion, this chapter is going to be pretty dull since it makrs the start of the training arc as far as I can see. And since Kururu or Ikki's romance in general doesn't matter to me, I'm mainly paying attention to just the training and maybe clues to see who the assailant is.

[Muk]

like any chapter in AirGear would be dull. Either you get fan service, story, action or all three together in a chapter it's still better then what kishimoto is serving right now.

[DeathGuise_of_Oblivion]

O!G doesn't disappoint too often. I think he's got things down in AG pretty well. He's found the perfect balance between main characters and supporting characters. Also, it shows his supporting characters, ie. Spitfire, have had a lasting impact on his main character+Sidekicks, especially Kazu. Alot of people on the forums were worked up during Aeon and Spitfire's death, and it showed just how well we are able to connect to these characters. Without a doubt, he's one of the greatest story tellers ever, whose works I've read. Actually, I hope I can meet him one day. The way he does his story has completely made me fall in love with his work. I love everything about his stories, aside from alot of the ecchi(I'm 17 and if my parents ever saw some of his art they'd flip).

*explodes*

:woo summary yo koi!

[TrueAlchemist]

hmm,
lol, Spit Fire is so funny even after his death.

Kururu seems to be kidnapped as I guessed.

My wild guess is that kidnapper is Sano family.
So far, Sano Yasyoshi (aka Ion Clock) was only one who had goons with black suits. After Ion Clock get killed, maybe they want to get info about Sky regalia or any types of regalia.

[Reincarnation]

this was a good chapter u guys think emily yayoi and akito were talking about

ringo x ikki x kururu ???

and did kururu make ikki new AT ? icoulnt see them

[TrueAlchemist]

this was a good chapter u guys think emily yayoi and akito were talking about

and did kururu make ikki new AT ? icoulnt see them

Kururu's team is neutral.
I think she could make Ikki regular AT, but she cannot make regalia for him.
This is rule. If she breaks it, she will endanger entire tuner team.

BTW, did emily give up practicing? seems like she became manager.
I hope her to be one of core fighter.

Well, I am sure Kogarasmaru will end up in that Gravity ball room.
What I want to see, is Onigiri's super pervert power.
My guess is that as long as he gets female opponent, he will kick-ass even in gravity room

[Athrum]

I hate Onigiri. He started as comic relief and got no character development at all, he could be out of Kogarasumaru..

[FireCandy]

He's not so bad. Every manga needs perverted people. Even if they’re just for fun.

[tGre teh Disleksik]

Onigiri has no purpose anymore...Agito/Akito is king/badass...Buccha is knowledgeable and is pretty much a tank...Kazu is king material and speedy (:3), Emily is...emily...shes a girl so she gets immunity...

Onigiri fails.

[Char-Aznable]

Maybe its cause I'm not to far in the series but Onigiri isn't all bad. He is kinda funny lookin so I guess that counts for somethin.

[tGre teh Disleksik]

lol, he did keep up with Ringo in the first match against Sabel tiger...if that counts for anything...that and he beat Gorgon Shell...-_-...

[Char-Aznable]

lol, he did keep up with Ringo in the first match against Sabel tiger...if that counts for anything...that and he beat Gorgon Shell...-_-...

I've only read about two books of the manga online and about 14 episodes of the anime. The Sabel tigers thing he lost in the anime so I've no idea. And Gorgon Shell? Not there yet. Lookin forward to seein him though hes that super deformed kid out of the three kids in a group you see in animes. I hope he dies.

[spaZ]

He did not lose in the anime against the sabel tigers... it was buccha and onigiri that lost

[Char-Aznable]

Yes thats exactly what I said previously said. Onigiri lost in the Sabel Tigers match. You must have not seen one of my posts.

[kahlmoo]

...that and he beat Gorgon Shell...-_-...If one can actually call that a 'win' :P

Onigiri will surely become a force once he perfects his Smell Road! :nod

[tGre teh Disleksik]

err...naruto4lyf...stop spamming...thats a damn triple post there and if mod comes by, they should delete it >_>...

[spaZ]

He could be called Uncle out of respect or something like that or he could really be her uncle, but it looks like Ikkis father left him with Rika so this kinda does get me thinking a little to. It makes you wonder why Ikki was left with Rika hey? He might have more power then them all by being the ultimate gravity child hehe maybe.

Also the gravity childrens abilitys are what? That they can ride in zero gravity and have used ats longer, but thats not all obviously cause of Ume so there bodys might have a special ability for the gravity or whatever kinda like gundams seeds cordinators I guess you could say.

She calls him Minami Jii-san that can both mean uncle or it serves to call someone older than you kinda like "Old Mr.Minami", so there is no clue they are really relatives..

[Six]

well, i thought of that too ofcourse. it just made me wonder, cause what type of person would give four kids to one girl alone and a highschool student at that? that's waaaay too much responsibility. so i thought maybe they really are related, that she can accept that as a responsible relative(she doesnt have any other right?) than give them to the orphanage. unless there's some other reason rika must be the one to keep them. :amuse

I think i said it before but, Volume 18 comes out on August 17th

edit: Chapter 155 made me like Kilik even more, i already know things that will happen but my Japanese is still a bit rudimentary so i couldn't read that "page from hell" 196-197. Soooo, that mysterious "A" is he Sora, is he Aeon's father, or a different person altogether?? Is Sora working for him??

[Six]

^
its uncle minami... ku ku ku :nod

[spaZ]

sorascans.com has 156 out :D

[SaiST]

chapter starts with a training sessions that kogarasumaru is undertaking, a practice called "step jump"... kazu seems to be taking charge of the practice as seen by him encouraging the "pig brothers"(onigiri and buccha) to climb faster and asking them why their breath are running short... buccha then came up with an excuse saying that he ate too much the day before.. (^_^ whats new?) btw it seems buccha's new name is "climber" now... (similar to kazu's "stealth")

anyway, during their practice break, it is revealed that spitfire is actually "overseeing" their practice and that he's the one who came up with their practice schedule... as he was telling them abt the importance of riding high walls, spitfire suddenly guessed that kogarasumaru is taking a break and eating ice creams (which he did guess correctly) and he said something abt how ice cream might affect their riding skills and agito got pissed saying that he'll kill spit fire if he dare to take away his enjoyment of ice creams and kazu commented on how spitfire's already dead.. (-.- lol)

next scene shows kururu (yay!! :p) doing chores of team kogarasumaru (something like the job of a manager of the team).. back to spitfire, he was saying how he used to do his practice rides there last time and there is an important reason why he chose that practice spot for kogarasumaru and that is to... peep on girls changing!!!(which is located is a very high location in the spot) and spitfire follows with "go on!! go conquer it fellow warriors!!" (didnt know spitfire had that kinda personality in him... :))

next few scenes shows emily and the other girl looking weirdly at kururu as she goes off to buy stuff for the team...as kururu is preparing what to cook for the team, akito catches up to her and asks her why she's doing the miscelleneous stuff for the team since she's already the official leader of toul tool too, the current pledge queen... she came up with lots of reasons and beat around the bush, but in the end, she reveals that she herself just wants to be there when she asks akito if its ok for her to be there everyday... seeing her like that, akito is somewhat forced to say "probably ok" since everyone likes it and also it helps although he thinks to himself that she a "strong enemy" with akito liking ikki and all ^_^

and next comes emily and the other girl and tells her that its impossible for her to take over ringo's position... and that they will do the miscellaneous things such as cooking and washing in a seemingly bad tone... but, it was revealed in the next page that emily and the other girl supports her being there and kururu doesnt need to be doing all these stuff since she herself is giving everyone "power" in her own way and also, they added that its an amazing "power"... but it seems, kururu did not hear the later half of the girls conversation... kururu wonders off to her usual spot, the swing in the playground, as she tries to comfort her depressed self... she thinks to herself, with each passing day, it seems she's just floating within the clouds and she wonders where would be good for her to fly to...

back to team kogarasumaru, ikki frantically searches for kururu when she learns from the girls that she has went home since ikki needs her for the next parts war...as ikki prepares to call her, kazu then comments that how come his and even ringo's phone number isnt saved into ikki's phone but only kururu's (THERE U GO PLP!! ANOTHER PROVE OF YOU-KNOW-WHAT!! :D)

anyway, as ikki's call got through they were saying how there seems to be a famous team on the rise called the "white wolf clan" or something like that and that they seems to be kogarasumaru's next opponent and just as this is mentioned kururu is attacked!!

is it a "friend"?? is it an "enemy"?!? as kururu's broken phone is shown in the last page, her connection with kogarasumaru is broken!!!
Kururu? New leader of Tool Toul To/Pledge Queen?

wutwutwut

Ahaha, oh lol... short summary of chapter 171 (thanks to the usual source, heiji, seki) :

The kidnappers are actually sent by Kururu's family. Her father was worried about her since she had often left her campus recently. He tries to seclude her but she runs away...

Ridiculous.
>_>... Well, I bet none of you expected that! :P

Could be a cute chapter though.

Ringo vs Ikki is in my top favorite battle categories. Thanks Nf for opening my eyes.

as from last chapter, kururu was taken by some unknown guy and this chapter starts with ikki in hot pursuit of the kidnapper with kazu lending him help with gps guidance... worrying that its gonna be a replay of the situation with hako, he makes his rather "eye-catching" entrance :D and crash landed on the car itself and was abt to land a hit on the driver when he saw a bruise on kururu's cheek... fortunately for him, kururu managed to stop him in time to reveal that our unknown "kidnapper" is none other than her father (who could have known... lol)

as ikki and gang humbly apologises, kururu's still-unhappy old man told her to get on the company van (the company name is something like "Serious" since the japanese sounding is "Si-ri-u-su" but it seems to start with a C for those who wants to know...) anyway, there are 2 other guys in the van, one of whom refer's to kururu's dad as "director" although kururu's dad seems to be pretty well acquainted with them (old friend's perhaps? :S) anyway, as they left the scene, kazu and others were thinking to themselves what abt what a strict father kururu has and also showed their surprise upon finding out that kururu is from a loaded family...

inside the van, kururu's dad was asking her abt her absence after hearing from one of the sister at her school when one of the guys inside the car (the fat dude) tries to help her out by saying how nice it was to go out and have fun... "-_- it seems kururu's dad has asked her to come home since its been some time and he was supposed to pick her up in school with his car... obviously, kururu was longer listening to his father's ranting as she replays the scene where ikki seems to have lost it when he saw the bruise on her cheek and she got lost in the moment... ^_^ the driver then tries to make fun of kururu by calling her a dreamy princess staring out of the window and her white-horsed prince etc etc and also tells her father that he is somewhat turning into a rather strict father.. hearing this, her father seems to have somewhat calmed down and saysy he couldnt help it...

back to akito, he is in the process of tuning the fang regalia (!! surprise surprise!!) akito was commenting on the fac that since in actuality its his own body that he's tuning, he can listen to the his "inner body's sound" and that makes his tuning a lot easier (not requiring S.C or something like that) anyway, they went on to discussing abt the breakdown of the factors of battle success (abt how 40% is rider's own skill and 40% is A.T's capability and the other 20% is luck and power) and also abt the importance of tuner to bring out the maximum potential of the riders who owns a regalia...

after listening to all those, ikki says he understands what akito is saying but he says that kururu cant help it due to her problems at home and also, he says that he longer needs a regalia... akito then tells ikki that its impossible for him to not have a regalia... he was saying that the two 40% factors (which can be modified unlike the other 20%) shows that ikki's current state would still allow ikki's full potential to be brought out by using a normal A.T but ikki's "run" soon would require something stronger... if not, the A.T, which is a tool to help one fly, would only be chaining ikki to the ground... akito then goes on to talk abt how crucial it is for ikki to find that one specific thing to run the "road" and produce a regalia "outside" of the current 8 for him...

after all the serious lecturing, akito then suddenly tries to hit on ikki by offering to teach him abt the basics of tuning and starts stripping ikki and all ("-_- wtf??) and then kururu shows up... (o_O) as ikki asks akito whether he is hallucinating, akito then breaks the news to him saying that he knew all along that kururu was there (before the stripping and all begun... -.-) anyway,moving on, ikki then asks her what she's doing there and also abt her condition at home...she then tells him that she has left home (much like he did) and as she tries to convince him to not be worry abt her and that she wants to tag along to help him out, she replays the words (in her mind) that akito said abt the importance of finding the one specific thing in the ocean of parts and she got overloaded (due to embarassement?? :S) and she starts making A.Ts while still rambling on to convince ikki that she's gonna be useful... and akito getting excited by thinking that selling all those A.Ts would allow them to stay in a hotel for the night... "-_-

With the return of the pledge queen to the rightful place, what future lies in front of them?? :p
<3 Kururu.

[tGre teh Disleksik]

too much ikki x kururu fan material... not complaining but I'm just pointing that out =D.

Thanks for the summary killu.

[FireCandy]

Thanks Killua.

I agree with Tiger. We need Ringo back. Or Simca. Anyone!

[Muk]

i miss simica T_T she was totally awesome

but kururu ain't bad either

[TrueAlchemist]

Ty for summery
hmm,Kururu's father is owner of company.
posibly AT company or related company?!?

That might explain how Kururu assemble and create AT so fast even before she entered her team. Mayber, OG is upgrading kururu's importance for losing Ion Clock. If Ion Clock is alive, he probably backed up Ikki and somehow create regalia or super AT just for Ikki with tons of money. I believe he was both smart and loaded with cash.
( I still cannot believe he is dead. his death was as shocking as Deidara's death in Naruto)

[TrueAlchemist]

too much ikki x kururu fan material... not complaining but I'm just pointing that out =D.

Thanks for the summary killu.

well, it is true.
OG might be trying to make a relationship between Ikki and Kururu stronger in order to counter Ikki x Ringo.
We are seeing tons of Ikki x Kururu lately, but we were seeing very long Ikki x ringo from the volume 1. most fans, it is still more natural to see Ikki x Ringo. I think OG is trying to make Equilibrium.
"Ikki x Ringo" = "Ikki x Kururu".

So, at the end, OG will be more reflexible in manga, and he can move back and forth between "Ikki x Ringo" = "Ikki x Kururu". And, make the AG more interesting when it comes to romance.

Just like many AG fans, I would love to see Ikki x Simuka.
But, lately, I feel like Simuka is too old for Ikki. Maybe because of that annoying Kirik.

[Athrum]

Yeah, well don't expect much, usually romance sucks in shonen manga

[Agmaster]

Haha, Deidara dying was no shock. Spit and Aeon was outta nowhere.

[TrueAlchemist]

Yeah, well don't expect much, usually romance sucks in shonen manga
well, I know, but OG does pull nice love story in Tenjo Tenge.
So, I think we can expect a little.

And, I thought Deidara to live longer, so I didn't know he would get killed this fast. Kishimoto really should turn manga name to Sasuke or something.

Well, I did not expect Spit Fire to do much because he already decided to retire, so his death does not mean much to me. I just miss Ion and shock that OG wasted him faster than anyone would expect.

[FireCandy]

Sora has 159 out.

here's a RP board on Air Gear I found, It looks sorta active.

http://z6.invisionfree.com/Eight_Roads/index.php?act=idx

just thought I'd help the cause =P. I do love Air Gear.

[Mat®icha]

new AirGear fansmile-big yeah that's me. started a couple of days ago. i'm in the 7th volume. for the moment i think it's not one of the bestest but it's going pretty good, at least it's not boring. i'm gonna continue reading. so far hot girls are my fav characters and agito of course. agito is really looks cool.

[Six]

Here's a question.

When do you guys think will Ikki and the others start to go to highschool?
i mean its not really that important to the story atm, but arent they supposed to be writing highschool entrance exams after their field trip from Kyoto? i believe this was stated by Orihara-sensei.

It'd be cool if new characters are introduced from that school, like new members and new rivals, stuff like that... this would probably be an appropriate arc after the whole gram scale tournament.
but still, the focus atm is training for the up coming war... so we're far from that. OG also said he's planning 300+ chapters for AG so that stuff can happen.

and let me make a prediction... im thinking that box that contains the sky regalia is empty. :amuse

oh, ang AG fanart (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/uphbatch0506/gabishiandmitsuru.png).

[SaiST]

Kururu's father, to escape bankruptcy, must do a parts war against kokarasumaru. It's a funny chapter and poor Kururu:
-gets stung by mosquitoes
-can't go to the public WC because it's too dark
-lays down next to Ikki to realize it's a tramp (lol)
-Ikki runs to help her but she discovers he was...well, behind a bush...with his pants down... same old Ikki
-she's starting to miss her cozy home
-Kanon is actually her cousin! (wow, funny how they both have an interest in the leads)
-she learns the team who'll fight Kokarasumaru is her father's team who, of course, are cosplayed as sentai -_-;

Chapter ends with Kururu bleeding (what? Oo) and the team feeling very bad for her... (yeah, it doesn't make sense...weird).

Summary from seki13.
Sounds like Kururu's having a tough time adjusting to hobo-life. >_> Why does she have to stay by Ikki's side though? What's stopping her from staying with the rest of her team?

ok, i finished it all, up to chapter 160.

so, i think this manga doesnt make sense at all. main character is tooooooooooooooooooooooooo perfect. things r just too rushed out. ikki guy wins all the time with incredibly stupid/unacceptable ways. i dont wanna go into details, in a word, this manga is too shallow.
but i'm gonna continue reading it, the upcoming fights (not ikki related) seems gonna be very interesting.

Lol, Kiliua, I looked for the raw last several hrs.
And, I realized that it is under my nose. lol

Anyway, Tyvm for raw Killua.

This is sad chapter for Kururu. She has entered the world of homeless :cry . But, The last page made my day.:laugh I think Ogure Ito is into Gamen Rider and those real action Children's shows. I remember he mentioned GAmen Rider or similar in Tenjo Tenge.
BTW, if I remember right, the kururu's father's cosplay belt is very similar to the belt that Nagi played around during training right before the fight against Ishiyumi Tenzen (name?, dude that specialized in archery)

Front page of this chapter is 100% fan service without naked woman. (Which is REALLY rare because OG always use naked women to satisfy fans. lol) But, It would be much better if OG made the front page in color. It would be cooler.

Seems like volume 18 also hits bookstore on 8/17.
Hopefully, someone scan it soon after the release.
Unlike other manga writer, recently OG seems to change several scenes in his manga ever since, he pulled alot of change in Tenjo Tenge vol. 14 or 15.
So, I think we can expect some changes on few pics.

[aznkidd2o6]

chapter starts with kururu calling back to her home after she apparently became a home run-away... after reassuring her mother that she is fine, she hangs up and tells ikki that their parents are fine although her father is shouting in the background... akito then cuts in saying that he/she thinks it might be better for kururu to return home (with akito wanting to be alone with ikki and all -.-) anyway, kururu expresses her firm stand to stay with them and ikki tells them to go to bed...

scene then changes back to kururu's family in her home where we are shown that kururu's father has been tied up...for those of u who are curious, its to prevent him from retrieving her and obviously the tape is to shut him up with him shouting and all (not a family of S&M btw!! >_<) it is then revealed in the next few scenes that kanon is actually related to kururu in that kururu's mother is actually the younger sister of kanon's parents... kanon has been called over to help calm down kururu's dad since he has been helping out in the company that his dad is in and to simplify the conversation between kururu's mom and kanon, its basically about kanon asking her if she is still worried abt kururu even though she let her go like that... kururu's mother then says that kururu has been stubborn since young - she entered the all-girls independent school even when her parents ask her not to... kanon then basically thinks to himself that both of them (kururu's mom and dad) really cant stop worrying abt her in that famous L's position... ^____,^ the 2 old men that we seen last chapter then makes their appearance again with some food and one of them (the driver) again gives him another parental advice since he said he also have kids...

back to kururu, she cant get any sleep at all due to the many bugs around her... as she got the usual "fuck" asking her to quieten down from agito, she explains that she's trying to find a bug spray... agito then tells her that its useless since the bugs there are super strong and are able to resist it (super bug!! o_O) and the advice she got from agito is to "kill before being killed" *_* with that said, she next wants to use the toilet but is scared since its dark (lol) with her dad still on her mind, she goes off to get a drink and wonders if her dad is still angry... while asking her dad for forgiveness for her stubborness, she sneaks in and snuggled on to ikki's sleeping spot (OO__OO hako style number 2?) she then says that she only wants to be with this person now and that is she is with him, she will be able to fly together with him... and suddenly, to her upmost horror, an unknown dude turns around asking her who she is and she screams, accompanied later by agito's "fuck" to again tell her to shut up...anyway, as kururu shivers in fright as the dude walks off saying he got the wrong bed, kururu got another fright when ikki moved the bush behind her to find out whats wrong... kururu's brief moment of relief got dashed when she found out that ikki had went to answer nature's call behind some bush :D (man, there's a toilet and he prefers to shit in the bush?? wtf??) in that moment, kururu's sense of respect for his dad rose another point and she thinks to herself that maybe she has begun to miss home a little... ^_^

anyway, scene then changes to ikki's school and gang where kururu is brought to and as the guys we know wonders what she's doing there in their school with her own school's uniform... she then tells them that they are already having their summer holiday and all and that she didnt wanna go to school since she might be caught by the sisters... btw, there's some dude in the background who wants to hit on kururu but decides not to since one of them was saying that it seems kururu is ikki's thing... :p (whateva happened to ringo??)

cutting the scene short, the next few scenes are abt spitfire talking about training under real battles using parts war... and as they begin researching on the "white wolf clan", they found out that they are a "c" class team which started which started at the same time kogarasumaru did - abt half a year ago and its actually a company team... anyway, they are on a point of bankruptcy due to the high oil prices and they are resurrection by using A.T related events... anyway, as they dug deeper and visited the company's website, what they saw will be forever burned in their minds - a team of 5 main members using some kamen rider costume doing an intro to their company... that scene is enuff to make kururu "bleed" >_<

with such a team as their opponent, what plans do kogarasumaru have?!? :D

mimasaka is Sado Yasuyoshi(Ion Clock)'s assistanct or should I say employee.

When Mimasaka died, Ion might realize a love(?) for her. But, they were only employee and employer relationship before she got killed by Sora.

[SaiST]

Kanon manages to convince Kururu that it is in Kokarasumaru's best interest (cause they need to improve) that she joins her father's team.
That way, her father's team with tuned/boosted air trecks could provide some challenge to Kokarasumaru.
>_< Give Ikki a new Regalia already!

[Six]

yeah and its kinda dumb that she had to die :(
i know... its like, she came back to the story, then left right away. no developments, no emotions. for me, that scene is really weak. they did a little bit of backstory, but wouldve been more effective on a whole chapter. oh well.

[ricc]

The 2 lastest chapter covers are so nice, can't wait for 173's HQ release so I can color it. :amuse

[SaiST]

chapter starts again with kururu :D and with the weird things going on around our heroes, its no surpise we find her in the locker this time round while ikki and the others are in the middle of class.. and bored as he is, ikki went and asked her to sit down in an empty seat which belonged to ringo but was told by kazu that it would have the opposite effect if ikki went and asked her to sit there... anyway, onigiri explained to emily when she asked him what kururu is doing there, that kururu previously said that if there is a hole, she would go in it, but because there is none, she went into a locker instead... anyway, buccha was saying that its no wonder kururu is hiding seeing all those stuff and all and then akito came and tried to worsen the condition by saying that if those kinda stuff is seen by their daughter, the dad would have already went and suicided... -.- (akito sure knows how to rub it in doesnt he?)

anyway, kanon showed up and scolded akito for being rude and justified that kururu's father isnt doing as what he wanted to..and that he's doing it for the 42 company staffs and to protect the life of his family... so kanon asked them to respect him instead of laughing... that being said, all along, he had his head on a chair and when ikki asked him what he's doing in ringo's seat, he said that he was just thinking that ringo's ass was always on that chair and so he... (+_+ these kinda stuff never ends in O!G's works doesnt it... :p) he then asked kururu go out since he has something he wanna say to her and so they went off... one with ringo's chair and the other still in the locker (man... what kinda weird family does those 2 belong to... -.-)

outside, kanon relayed a msg from ine, who is worried abt kururu and wondered abt her whereabouts.. kururu then explained saying that its because her handphone is broken and that also, she has broken the "the absolute neutral rule" of TTT with her being in the side of ikki and then kanon said that it cant be helped since she is ikki's, the "storm king's", tuner... and it is important for her to be together with him all the time - eating, sleeping etc in order to match the "rythm" that the king has... kanon then mentioned that he also he knew the exact time schedule of ringo's daily activities... anyway, kanon then tells kururu that ine has been working inside the tower with Run to slow down the opening of the "door" to try and buy some more time for kogarasumaru so that even though their delay only helps kogarasumaru by a little, they are at least 1mm closer to the the the height where there sora's are (in terms of skill...) kanon then also mentioned that this "time" given to kogarasumaru is the thing that is left by spitfire...

kanon then continue talking abt the factors that determines "riding success" which agito talked abt last time.. (4 made of rider, 4 points for AT and the 2 for luck and power, out of 10) kanon then says that as ikki is now, kururu fulfills the the full 4 points of the AT part but ikki is only at abt 1.5/4... he then continues saying how the success of kogarasumaru might be due to their over-dependence on kururu by giving examples of a simulation done on kogarasumaru and an A-class team, Loco Deki...Agito, who overhears this, also agrees with what Kanon is saying... Kanon then adds, telling kururu that if she really wants to be ikki's "power", she has to try it with "some other methods"...

with doubts in her mind, she returns to ikki's side (again climbing the stairs in that locker... "-_-) to find ikki taking it out on kazu... when she asks her what is going on, ikki replies subconciously calling her "ringo" (O_O thats one hell of a mistake to make!! >_<) anyway, as she recalls again the moment when the 2 girls were saying how useless it is to take ringo's place, kururu thinks to herself that she wants to find out more abt ikki and help him out in her own way and so she decides.... to make a deal with her father - that is she will return and join his father's team to defeat kogarasumaru!!!

for her own sake, for kogarasumaru's sake, she is no longer confused!! what will happen now that "white wolf" has the best support for themselves?!!?
Ikki's still kind of scrubbish, apparently.

And they keep talking about how crazy powerful the Sora brothers are. Kilik was supposedly the strongest of the Gravity Children back in the day, no? He should be at least compareable to them.

[TrueAlchemist]

Well, Kilik is out of fight. He does have regalia anymore.
And, TTT or at least Ine thinks Sora(s) her enemy.

I think this is what will happen.
Sora(s) will kick ass Sleeping Forest and we will see battle between Sora(s) vs. Kogarasmaru.

Ever wonder how Simca fits into Air Gear nowadays? You know how Ikki's wings are meant to support everyone and take them to th' sky and fly higher and faster than ever before? I think that Shimuka, despite her involvement in his "Hatching", is now simply too heavy for Ikki's Wings To Support.

[PhantomX]

This Pyon girl is new, probably some old gravity child?

[spaZ]

ahh she kinda randomly showed up though

[DeathGuise_of_Oblivion]

She's more than likely Sora's personal tuner. Their relationship is close, so close that he's confessed his plans to her. They don't seem to be lovers, like him and Rika, and it signifies the relationship of a tuner(closer than even lovers). Though she may be Nike's or both their tuners. They are identical, so it COULD work.

[SaiST]

after declaring war on kogarasumaru on behalf of his dad's team, kururu is still excited/nervous/worrying abt the decision she made, but she reassured herself that this would be for the best for kogarasumaru... just as she was abt to leave, the old man (principal of the school), otherwise known as old man koro, appears and told her that he didnt mean to eavesdrop and was impressed at what she did and he also understands the reasons behind her actions...while old man koro made a promise with kururu to not spill the beans, we suddenly caught a glance of a psycotic-looking hako??

on the other end, unknown of the coming dangers, kogarasumaru is training their b-class running - disc... they are practicing the 2 crucial actions of disc and that is to "keep" and "return" and the narration in the background is talking abt the importance of the "disc keeper" - the one who is holding the disc at that moment, and how there is a rule dictating that only the "keeper" can be attacked at all times of the event... spitfire then talks abt the significance of this "attack limiting" rule and abt the 1 point penalty if the rule is broken... as they continue on with their practice, spitfire, or rather his recording/AI/soul/whateva :p, is advising them also on the importance of team work... a short moment is then given to ringo who was outside, watching over kogarasumaru's practice... as she cheers on kogarasumaru silently, she caught a glimpse of a sneaking hako meeting up with our mystery girl who was with the soras... (anyone thought that military outfit looked kinda cool on the mystery girl? :D)

kazu is then shown to be taking a short break in their practice and when he takes off his sweat-drenched shirt to continue the training, emily goes and thinks of all the possible methods she could use to bring the shirt back home... (man, emily's getting more stalkish by the second aint she? -.-) anyway, spitfire then talks abt the existance of a program made for the completion of the "sky regalia" and he, along with sora and kiriku, wonders who could have written them... because of this, he has a bad feeling and suspects that within the tower, there is some other hidden agenda...

we move on to the next scnene which is finally the day of the match, where our monitor-faced dj is again the host of the match between kogarasumaru and white wolf... the immense support for kogarasumaru got the challenger's team very nervious and as kururu's dad seeks kururu's reassurance that its gonna be alright, he finds her missing and kanon explains that kururu is off to the company for something and that she's gonna be coming soon... having said that, kanon thinks to himself what could have happened since it was 5 hours ago when kururu went off and comments that there would be no meaning in this match if kururu was not present... the scene then goes back 3 hours ago when kururu was leaving the office where she met with hako who asked for some time to talk to her...

With a stun gun hidden behind her, what plans do hako have with our dear kururu!?!!?
filla, filla~

sorascans.com has released 164 and 165.

So looks like the part when sora talks to kilik and them all and Ikki gets the news that he was being used, also looks like sora was actually scared of Ikki if he have the fully complete wind regilia

[Myrddhin]

My guess i that Ringo will rescue Kururu.. unless Oh Great is bored of always rescuing her :D

[Kage Bunshin Master]

What I think is that Hako's working for the Takeuchi Brothers (obviously)! and that she just forms a major threath to their plans, I mean we are talking about the Girl that made the Wind regalia's Core (even thou is was incomplete)

But what I can say is this I really not in the mood for one of those "let's rescue the Damsel in distress" ONCE AGAIN!!! it's just not cool in this Arc

Thx ^_^ smile-big

[cshin80]

not that i'm not enjoying the current turn of events... cuz it is a refreshing change...

but it really bugs me that the plot has become somewhat inconsistent. i remember back on the rooftop disc match vs rika + sisters. back then the sisters seemed to be such buddy-ol-pals with sora. and i'm talking about the current SF sisters.

it was ringo and co. that even convinced rika to tell all about the past. and in that story there was absolutely no hint of things to come. i mean not even a worried face...

is mean did OG really have to have such a dramatic fit of inspiration? anyone else feel this way? am i the only one so irritated?

[PhantomX]

It's possible that Kilik had not told Ringo and the other sisters about the situation yet, as only the old Sleeping-Forest members were involved in the original incident. Either that or they didn't want to make Rika suffer any :\

[cshin80]

well i guess if kilik told ringo about sora towards the end then it would be more consistent...

still it annoys me to no end. even back when kogarasumaru was formed they picked a fight with that girl's team on the school roof. and ringo was all upset that they are fighting and being just like skull saders.

and now she goes around breaking people's legs and condoning face-rippings now that her turf is threatened...

yes you can argue that everything changed once she learned about sora. but somehow its just not so easy to swallow. *sigh* guess i'm just gonna have to live with it and go with the flow.

[Muk]

she's had the whole moral issue the whole time ringo that is ...

she knew what was coming for ikki but couldn't tell him or whatever, didn't had the gutts to tell him

[spaZ]

She only attact simca since she knew something was going to go down and she wanted to stop her or w.e.. Though she does not like SF and the tower since she has said it many times that she wished it wasn't there, but its her "duty" to not let the sora brothers have the sky regilia.

Getting closer to being completely caught up, read up to chapter 165, the past couple chapters have been very...'wtf'. I'm too amused to tell if I like the developments or if I think they are lame.

[spaZ]

i think around there it was a tad rushed though the story should get better once they start battling and stuff

[Yakushi Kabuto]

Alright, just read 169! Watch, I will stop reading the series for another couple volumes, I keep doing that.

At any rate, I like the message Spitfire left. I like Kaito and Ine Makigami a little more every time I see either of them. Looking forward to seeing what crazy methods Ikki and the team will come up for practicing.

[The Drunken Monkey]

Can someone help me find out which volume I left off with Air Gear? It's been about 2 months since I read one.

I remember the last one I read was the whole match between Ikki & Some guy in a Wheelchair vs. A Bunch of Girls.

Though, I am thinking of just going to buy the volumes and keeping up with Del Rey.

[Jaejoong]

^I think you should familiarize yourself with the characters first. o_o;

You would be referring to volume 6 which comes out in English from Del Rey in October.

The situation was Ikki and Sora vs. The Sleeping Forest.

Also, this is my first post int he Air Gear manga thread. ^^
I'm currently collecting the Air Gear manga by Del Rey but I realized the U.S. takes too long to translate and distribute the Air Gear manga so I decided to read the scans online.
Starting yesterday, I finally finished reading chapters 41-171 just now. I'll still continue to buy the manga (I'm materialistic like that. xD;)

Question, is there a final volume number out yet? (Hoping not. >_<)

[The Drunken Monkey]

Yeah, I should get familiar with characters. This is the only manga I don't know the names. xD

How's Del Rey's Translations?

[Jaejoong]

They're awesome. Not only that, they have in-depth translation notes in the end, character sketches, and a preview of the next volume. The translation notes are very helpful in understanding things related to Japanese culture and the like. As compared to the translation notes provided by scanlators, they are in-depth (like it says xD) whereas the scanlators usally just give a link or a small footnote.

The manga is overall awesome but are released about every 2 months. >_<

Another question, is Simca with Sora on the carrier ship?

yeah that was simca

Yeah i loved Emily too there, they should ditch Onigiri for her, anyway seems that the other team isn't as powerless as we thought, (sigh)

[Six]

my only problem w/ sora scans is that the text they put are ssooo big. sometimes it gets in the way of the awesome art. :(

[PhantomX]

Well, seeing as no one seems to apply for positions at Kuu anymore and a lot of us are starting to get burned out they might be the only option soon enough. :\

If I had more time to be present on the net or to scour manga communities for scanlators I would, but I don't have that kind of time with proofing and school and work :\

[Myrddhin]

thx Hadora for 175 ..

so you mean i have to begin to dl Sora scan releases ?????

Nuuuu. D:

I did send in two applications as proof-reader for you guys (as you know... I tlcheck for scum as well >_>)

so I dont know what you're complaining about... check yer emails! :angry

[PhantomX]

It's not proofers that we need, it's cleanes and typesetters. Our proofing department has always been overstaffed compared to everything else, Uranium XD. I guess either no one reads the ads asking for help, or no one wants to lend their aid anymore T_T

[Hiruma]

This is really ironic because at first we didn't have any translators but had lots of cleaners and typesetters....then later we needed proofers for a period I think, then it was cleaners and it's still cleaners after SF broke to Kuu.

[tGre teh Disleksik]

your recruitment ads on your forums say differently Pants :pek

[Six]

oh wow. volume 18 tank has ALOT of new pages. i knew OG changes some of his art but adding new pages? i thought it was pretty cool X3

has he done this before?

[Muk]

so there isn't much of a summary for 175 out yet?

[Reincarnation]

so there isn't much of a summary for 175 out yet?from whatever181
a summary u say? i'll be very brief abt it since sora is already up to 173 and i think most of you also got what's going in this chapter

1. before match begins, kogarasumaru and white wolf made a deal... if kogarasumaru loses, they will work for white wolf's company as their advertising actors but if white wolf loses, they will get 30 million yen from them... obviously everyone was shocked and of course kogarasumaru takes the deal... btw agito comments that he can live for 200 years with that money "-_- (its only abt us$250k~260k)

3. match is with no time limit and obviously, no random beating of a player... in total, there will be in 3 sets and 1 set will end with whichever side scores 10 points first... anyway, flip of a coin by emily will start the match... at the same time, kanon wonders abt the whereabts of kururu and ikki wonders why kanon is teaming up with the white wolf considering he's from TTT... kazu then pissed ikki off by reminding ikki of how kanon took ringo's first kiss and that earned him a kick... -.-

extra information abt the teams:
kogarasumaru - 13 wins 2 losses, class B
white wolf - 3 wins 0 losses, class C

buccha was commenting on how all of white wolf's previous matches are done in class B and this is probably because due to the "limit on attacking rule" (the one on no players besides the current keeper can be attacked rule), it might be easy for teams with lack of experience and to battle in this class category... and so team kogarasumaru begins to be cautious since white wolf seems to be a specialist in B-class battle...

4. anyway, as the coin strikes ground (why did it take so long to land?? "-_-), ikki rushed and snatched the disc from kururu's dad and kogarasumaru begins their offence!! but, as everyone has their eyes on the match, they realised something weird is going on with white wolf - and that is THEY SUCK!!! ^_^

5. with ikki being guarded by kanon, who seems to be the best of white wolf, ikki made a pass to kazu but was intercepted by a sudden turn by the dude with the weird expression... annoyed that he got intercepted, kazu said "bastard" to that guy and in response, he screamed and faked a fall while clutching his back (what a fake act!! >_<) anyway, referee then stops the match and awards a penalty point to white wolf... as kogarasumaru begins to realise what is happening and the type of strategy that white wolf is using, the old dude (the driver last time), tried to provoke agito by spitting on his eye o_O, but of course agito is stopped buccha telling him to calm down... (btw, the DJ host was previously saying how there is 2000 pair of eyes and 200 cameras watching the match for foul play but how come the referee didnt know its a faked foul??? even the DJ host noticed how this is match on trying to win by provoking the opponent :S)

6. anyway, the disc in kazu'd hand was snatched away and as it was abt to reach the old man, buccha then tried to stop it but....he was blown away by a out-of-this-world-crazy-zomg punch?!?! o_O is finally the energy of old man revealing itself!!?!?!

oh, just something minor to add, the disc was broken to pieces btw... >.< and the stuff the old man wears is an equipment and not a cyborg body since he mentioned its a electromagnetic punch and also, the previous chapters showed that he has a normal arm...


comment:
sorry i gave it in point form... i'm actually not even planning to write this considering there was no request until amxed asked for it

and now that the match is just based on provoking and not skill, i dun see how kururu's support might help a lot considering they dun have much skill to tune up anyway... :?

[Moogoogaipan]

is it just me or does ikki look just like recca from flame of recca. And simca looks just like yanagi. o.O

[Agmaster]

it is all you

[kahlmoo]

is it just me or does ikki look just like recca from flame of recca. And simca looks just like yanagi. o.O
definitely just you dude.

I agree with the comment about Sora Scans....The big font hides all of O!G's purdy lines. :cry....though, i shouldn't complain since they do a really good job with speedy releases....but the font is so big >.>

[The Drunken Monkey]

I'm up to Volume 14 now, I hope to catch up to recent scans soon.

But I got some questions, I'll go head and put tem in spoiler tags.
-How did Sano get into Genesis?
- What happened to the other 3 members in Behemeoth? (Not Sano since he's with Genesis and Not Akira because he's staying with Agito's Bro)
-How did Ikki get the injury during the time he made Kazu temporary leaders?

-Sano -probably- came from Genesis before Behemoth. Simca -probably- made him stay there.

-Behemoth members... Bandou formed his own AT team. Gorgon went back to being Sano's secretary(in his dad's company). and that other guy... is unknown.

-i dont wanna spoil the third part but -supposedly- it's from the Devil's 33 fight... when he used his knee, so he wont fall on ringo.

[spaZ]

Hes really not injured its sora lieing to bring ikki into the spot light and stuff

[Jaejoong]

They said it was because of his knee when he evaded landing on Ringo but that had already healed by then. Sora used this chance to be with Ikki.

__________________That's too bad. I'm reluctant to get Sora scans because they're not in irc. What exactly does a cleaner and typesetter have to do?

[The Drunken Monkey]

Are there any Full Volume 18 Scans yet? I don't feel like downloading ch. by ch.

[Jaejoong]

That's too bad. I'm reluctant to get Sora scans because they're not in irc. What exactly does a cleaner and typesetter have to do?

A cleaner basically edits the pages to make them "cleaner" or clearer and take out the Japanese text.
Typesetter types it in the bubbles, translated.
^My definitions.

Are there any Full Volume 18 Scans yet? I don't feel like downloading ch. by ch.

If you provide the chapter numbers contained within volume 18, I can upload them all into one file for you.

[PhantomX]

Well, Kuu put out 165, go fetch :D

[kahlmoo]

Well, Kuu put out 165, go fetch :D
*fetch'd*
w00t w00t. I read Sora scans but kuu's preservation of the art makes it some so much more enjoyable....but I just don't have the patience to wait for the quality :cry

[The Drunken Monkey]

It's from chapter 156 to the latest one.

The most chapters I've seen in a volume, ever.

But you don't have to do. I think I'll just wait for some HQ scans of it since I like my Air in HQ Quality. lol

[spaZ]

sorascans has 174 out

[Yakushi Kabuto]

Whoops, behind again, I'm really quite awful at keeping track at more than one series. Anyway, lol, read up to 173, poor Kururu has a...special father who works in an even more special company. I assumed he would be involved with it somehow, but them being the next opponents is just xDD

[maxhrk]

I dont know if anyone has noticed...

air gear 176 RAW is already out. FYI.

[Mat®icha]

yey, new scan and raw:woo

Chapter 175 (http://sorascans.com/forums/membersarea.php)

[PhantomX]

Sweet, now I can trump that by releasing two chapters~~~

166 and 167 can be stolened from our site, I'm tired of writing release posts and re-linking everything D:

www.kuu-scans.info

^that shall suffice for ye! :yell

[spaZ]

nice can replace sorascans with yours :D

[Puck]

indeed, great to see new Kuu releases, though I do read Sora for speed releases(heck Im happy with raws and a summary at this point, lol) within a month or so youll both be to current releases and only the best will survive, If I ever get some free time Ill apply to help with cleaning.

[PhantomX]

Please do Puck, we would really really appreciate it :D

EDIT: link not working.

No bother, i already got the chapter. Kazu was so funny, and AG proved itself as a sport. fun chapter overall.

[Athrum]

Finally Kogarasumaru shows its fangs....and i guess we can say that too of that weird masked S-F King...uhhh..

[PhantomX]

Where's Sai been lately? He hasn't commented or uploaded the last few chaps D:

[Myrddhin]

Sora scans released 176.
176 (http://sorascans.com/forums/membersarea.php)

[spaZ]

sorascans released 177 so looks like they are caught up to the raws :D

[blacklusterseph004]

What do you guys think are the chances of Kazu becoming the perfect flame king? He can do the flame road like Spitfire, plus he has speed nearing Iron clock. Could he control time and flame and do the Apollo road trick?
