Told y'all it was Nagumo

 

[Aryan]

Lol 💀 He is alive

Everybody called it tbf

Nagumo should have gotten one serious fight before this, IMO.

Nagumo losing his first serious fight in the series just never felt possible, too much character build up.

Slightly surprised Slur didn't see this coming.

Lol, poor dude exploding accomplished nothing, RIP.

Their dialogue on the stairs felt to me like Slur picked something strange up from "Gaku"

And it's basically set in stone that he isn't dead from this Nagumo stab. So I think he'll pull some Shonen trickery - "I've trapped the blade with my muscles, you can't pull it out" or "I moved one milimeter to the left so you avoided all my vitals"

NAGUMO!!

Yeah, Slur has to has something up his sleeve here. I like how things are going.

I didn't expect Asaki to come out of the explosion without a single scratch.
I expected him to survive - even straight up jump away - but he remained there and took the blast.
Dude is probably hiding some crazy strength

 

[Devilbat]

Well, well, isn't it the plot twist everyone was expecting - although, I think it might've been more interesting if our expectations were subverted.
I still believe Nagumo isn't now in his best shape though, and I believe Gaku did a fine number on him.

Where's the old crazy strong geezer btw? The one with katana?

Takamura
Who knows tbh, he's presented more as an entity that appears when he wants/deems appropriate

Yes, Takamura!
He's a wild agent of chaos I guess, so he cannot be simply doing the JAA mission in a regular way.

The JAA boss is getting on my nerves though, I kinda root for Slur there, lmao

Talk about charcter build up, it really shows that he excels at his family's given talent with espionage.

Mf was soo good at copycating Gaku's speech patterns right down to his nonchalance that he picked up with just 1 frighin encounter and managed to fool Slur.

Like that "Idk whatever" is something you'd expect Gaku to say when questioned about something that requires explanations ..coz that's how he has been.

On top of that he fooled everyone even Skamoto and nearly Kashima with that bait if it wasn't for that scar Old samurai Geezer gave him

This is what's called build up execution no oun intended.

The author really demonstrated all the narrative build up around Nagumo in these chapters through his actions and demeanor alone.

 

[AZA]

I knew Suzuki wouldn't kill Nagumo off-screen. This chapter basically confirms Nagumo>Shishiba, too; Nagumo stans are eating.

Bruh didn't know that was a point of contention in the community

Him beating the previous no 2 of the JAA past his prime was expected, and he didn't come out unscathed from the altercation.

That fight to me hyped the prev JAA no 2 more actually than Shishiba himself m

Yeah, Nagumo vs Shishiba has been a hot topic, especially since that fight between them was teased.

The more this goes on the more I get "morally gray character doing bad things for the right reasons" vibe from Slur.

I like The Order, but I feel like we haven't touched into the actual corruption in the JAA yet.

Ever since i saw Nagumo's threat level on the poster in the serial killers arc bring S++ while fat Sakamoto was B+.
I had Nagumo as the strongest JAA assaassin unyil the old man showed up.

I think Asaki will end up being the main villain of the series. We need a villain that fans can unanimously hate on (for the right reasons)
Slur never really gave off such an energy
