@spurgleburgle nothing to guess, koito already told tsukishima some arcs ago that he couldn't trust tsurumi anymore

Sapporo gently tucking in Kadokura. The little guy was all tuckered out.

whats with that look from Tsukishima?

 

[koyokoyo]

NICE!!

 

[spurgleburgle]

@cerebropodrido What I meant is that he doesn't blindly obey Tsurumi anymore. He still wants to see Tsurumi's true goals and will follow him if those goals are just.

He even got a blanket

I'm SO glad Koito survived. I really liked how Tsukishima betrayed what was most important to the mission to save him, I think it shows that he does really care about him. However, I think it's pretty clear that Koito is eventually going to betray Tsurumi, (A+ development by the way, I love how he's growing as a person) and when he does, I feel that Tsukishima is going to be somewhat of a wildcard when it comes to which side he's going to fall on in the end.

As we have already seen, Tsukishima is a husk of a man operating on the belief that since he had to let go what was spurring him on to live (hope that the curly-haired girl was still alive), his only purpose in life is now serving Tsurumi. In the chapter where Inkarmat gives birth and he and Koito get into a confrontation, he says that it's "too late" for him to turn back since he's already killed so many people on Tsurumi's orders.

The only reason Koito was able to talk him down in the scene above was because Koito reassured him that he was still going to obey and serve Trsurumi. But, if I'm correct in my prediction of Koito's eventual betrayal of Tsurumi, then I think soon we're going to see Tsukushima have to choose between his loyalty to Tsurumi and his affection for Koito. And I can't wait.

Kadokura never lets me down, that was beautiful.

 

[hollyguild]

That gag at the end is next level. What chutzpah.

 

[FruitConnoisseur]

Koito and Tsukishima is a goddamn power couple!

 

[aviusthavius]

so koito can speak clearly in front of tsurumi now, which i guess indicates that he's second guessing his loyalty? and that's why tsukishima gave him that dirty look? is that what happened there?

 

[ashleywang]

forget sugimoto, kadokura's the one who's gonna live forever

 

[SomeDonkus]

This chapter was such a roller coaster of emotions. What a great chapter!

 

[Duralumin]

nighty-night my sweet boy

 

[carmeliba3]

I personally found the whole Kadokura thing annoying... But that's ok... Wonder how they'll do it in the anime?

Oh, and will we still get a new chapter over the weekend or is this it till next week?

 

[fourthgrande]

For Tsukishima to chose to save Koito instead of securing Asirpa kinda show that for him, Koito's safety is more important right now instead of Tsurumi's order.

Which then made that look he gave when Koito speak freely to Tsurumi strange.

 

[Waskito]

Damn, its KADOKURA THE IMMORTAL!

 

[n0rthernlying]

lmao

 

[A-tan]

Kadokura holy shit

I'm relieved neither of them died this chapter but also pretty sure Sugimoto is killing Boutarou next one, oof.
