Humans are just humans, but cats are gods

Sooooooo

I know we had a lot of moments in the past where Shin overdid it and then he was fine a few hours later.... But I feel like this might actually be it? His entire body hurts (mind you, he's been pushing past his bodies limits basically ever since his fight against Tenkyuu!) his head hurts (obviously) and his hearing might be fucked??? (Did we accidentally conjur disabled Shin, oh no-) Also he literally SLAMMED his hand into the strings of an electric guitar. AND JUST PLAYING NORMALLY CAN HURT LIKE SHIT (when you're not used to it yet)

Also he really did it. He won the fight! And I loved that people were cheering on him inside the story too! (Loved that the music geeks asked for an encore) Now it's time for our new duo (Natsuki and Tenkyuu) to go look for him and bring him to a hospital before he has an aneurysm or so.

Basically, Shin is like a wounded animal hiding away so his humans don't have to see him be hurt/sick and worry about him

Okay! Rest of the chapter!

Yes, Gaku is back. Sadly, I was flashed by some idiots with leaks both on TikTok and Twitter. I already knew that, which kind of shattered my first impression of the chapter :/

So:

All the people who complained about the story ever since Gaku died can shut up now. He's not dead. Also his corpse was never shown, like others. This story does not shy away from showing the corpses (obviously, duh).

Also.... Confession. I don't even care about Gaku all that much. I don't dislike him, I just think he's a funny guy, with cool fights obviously. He is good for what his character is supposed to be. Also he probably stinks like hell, except for this chapter cause Kashima must have cleaned him. (He spends all his day gaming, that man REEKS)

Talking about Kashima, he had a really great development, so I hope nothing happened to him here. But then again, he's basically immortal so I'm not to scared about him

I don't think Gaku is in the right mindset right now (is anyone of X gang ever?) dude woke up and immediately obsessed about Takamura.

And he recognised the PERSONA in Uzuki with one view over a monitor? Yeah, not good. Also, he just woke up from a coma, and doesn't know yet that Haruma is dead! Haha! (I'm still grieving Haruma) Or Gozu! (No one knows that yet actually) But basically, lot of sibling drama coming up, oh boy.

It also brings up the possibility of actually having some scenes with Gakus stance on his family/X gang (the time in Al Kamar)? We had a lot of context on how the others think of him (as the youngest sibling in the group) but I don't think we ever had any actual emotional lifting coming from him. And if THAT were to happen I would really love it. And it would mean his character gets to be more than just hype fights and gags. (It would also make me properly care about him as a character)

Nagumos penthouse!

Or one of many. (The translation is a bit confusing here. I'm not sure if it means his place so many rooms or if he has so many hideouts) This man is a ✨high maintenance girly✨

Shishiba and Osaragi are alive, but out of order for a while as it seems. Shishiba can't even use his left arm for the moment, so they won't be joining the next (last?) fights. You know why that's practical? Because there's two people less to join an eventual kill or don't kill discussion at the end! Which just ought to happen really!

Nagumo is joining Taro and Uzuki though. He also has a million back up weapons apparently. Which is crazy cause he just complained about fixing his weapons. (At least he stays on top with maintenance?)

Apparently he knows how to cook. That is crazy. Very crazy. I saw him at the kind kf person always ordering take out or going to restaurants. And what the hell is Bouillabaise?

Rions memory is there. In the narrative, and in Nagumos memories. Always. The guy still has some processing to do, while it's safe to say that Taro already went through most of that.

WE'RE IN AN AMUSEMENT PARK AGAIN LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

And for Taro VS Uzuki... As I said, Taro went through processing his emotions now. From his side I think it's gonna be cool fighting and some attempts at talking to Uzuki one last time maybe? Uzuki himself is mentally very unstable, I'm not sure what Suzuki is gonna cook up with him. Except that Gaku is now also coming into the mix and that's obviously gonna complicate things. (That's his baby brother about to try and kill him)

End for today! Should I do more chapter rants like this? They're kinda fun
