So we started this chapter with flashback to Shima - Homare conversation which was extremely interesting and we found out ( or it was already known but I forgot, but I think it was the first time we heard about it ) that Homare is also a wielder of black flames. We also had some Shima being Shima moments ( I'd be surprised if not ). And by the way, I really like her outfit 🥰

Then we are still in flashback and we move to Lucifer who decides to start the conversation by mentioning the weather ( the way I wheezed) and what's also very interesting, Homare made Shima tell only the truth for five consecutive minutes. Lucifer asks Shima some questions and her my fav panel is this one :

Then they are talking about Shima's potential regarding black flames and thus future training. And tbh when Homare said that he is unfit to be her successor :

I had a really strange feeling about this line. Then we are back to present, the Shima vs Homare clash and conversation about feelings and references to Shima's training. Meanwhile BBB News heli continues to broadcast what is happening on the battlefield and of course they decide to broadcast the signal from this clash. We get a glimpse of Shima's family and then as the broadcast zooms in on Shima, we see a lot of reactions:

And then Homare summons Amanosako ( the way I screamed like WTF 👁️👄👁️) and here's my second fav moment from this chapter - Kinzo being supportive ( I love this man) :

And now EXTREMELY CREEPY panel :

Literally me ( same Shima, same) :

Then Homare explains to us WTH is going on here ( and it's not good as you can probably guess) :

BTW she looks BADASS here

Of course Shima is struggling:

Yas, I’m all here for the supporting siblings (where’s Juuzou?).

Also this panel ? I actually don’t think Homare hates Renzo (since apparently everything’s inverted).

They have similar circumstances so, if anything, a part of her probably admires him for going against his family’s flow when she didn’t (couldn’t ? See her father murdering her uncles so she could inherit her family’s legacy).

Next chapters will say, but Homare being seen as a pawn by Lucifer till the end (she’s his pain killer, literally y’all) will probably be her undoing against Shima, who’s dearly loved by his friends and family.

Wasn’t expecting to care at all about Homare, but now I pity her so, as always, Kato-Sensei knows how to change my mind.
