It’s one fine line between this is the best kind of crazy to this is chaos crazy, filled with dread for everyone with all scattered, loads of factions, multiple schemes, someone please save everyone XD

All amazing in every sense of the word though! As for the comedy touches from cast members, especially Shinoa (though Shikama Doji is having his moments), they are definitely welcome. There is the perspective that Mika calling his special someone Yu an idiot for example could be in abusive language territory XD but you are right with it’s firmly in the realm of comedy, and showing them bickering like an old married couple and lightening the dark atmosphere of the situation at hand. Plus said out of concern and likely frustration with Yu expecting everything to be pleasant, with Mika aware of what the dangers are that Yu is unwisely unaware of.

In any case no matter what Mika can also be counted on to help Yu, the one time people may be wanting Mika to join with the squad and trust them could be the absence that results in something terrible happening to Yu. Which is absolutely the reality here, yes it would have made sense for Mika to join Mitsuba for example, which may have won acclaim from readers that Mika is developing trust with them. Yet joining Kimizuki and the team who are already safe would have resulted in Yu taken firmly out of reach. Would have begged the question from readers why on earth Mika would waver in rescuing Yu who needed it most, the height of madness for Mika to leave Yu for anyone else! XD

With Mitsuba having an option in joining Aoi, no one would have ever wanted Ferid and even Crowley to join them, people then find mass murderer Kureto on their side. Kimizuki will possibly end up joining second progenitor Saito, no one ever wants to see these people, it’s just that circumstances force them to. Sure we would love Mika to join Yu right at the beginning of the story (though it worked better as it was), everyone may want some scenarios to occur but life gets in the way. Can hope it is as easy as Mitsuba finding them and retreating, but Kimizuki is escaping whilst he can, Shinoa, Yu and Mika are nowhere to be seen and there is a war going on, at least Mitsuba has someone to find in her sister if things become dire and like multiple other people has little other choice but to join them to live.

Haha, it is sweet Yu committed to saving family, good thing too. Although Mika bypassed Guren’s advice to form a team with him going straight for Yu, wonder if he will then suggest escaping from the first. As they all know there is nowhere to flee to so will hope Mika can have the foresight to rejoin the squad once Yu is rescued. Then there is also the scenario that Krul may arrive and find them, her brother there with Yu as well. Would be too easy for those three/four with Asuramaru to escape so story wise likely Mika will do what many seem to want and join Mitsuba squad which would be a realistic complication to Krul’s plan of finding them.

It is a shuddering thought with Guren having his last battle :O would love to hear that if you do come across the time to translate it, with Guren's planned plans, and whether they can change depending on which people they affect. To what Guren values at this moment, to knowing if he is ‘good’ or ‘evil’, Guren is a character where guessing his journey and future is exceptionally hard.

That is especially interesting, about Guren suspecting the first would know about Saito’s operations and Guren adapting his plots for that. Would love for Krul to join Guren and Shinoa squad, though at this stage there are stronger adversaries with Urd’s council, and of course Saito and the first, still real cool though!

Would also like for Shinya to focus on finding Guren, but again like Mitsuba joining her squad there are intermitting factors at work for Shinya. He has been roped into a plan with Ferid so goodbye to searching for anyone that is not either Saito or the First who are the suspected candidates for their joint scheme.

The parties full on raving now, at least Ferid is having fun having acquired his handy weapon XD Saito and the first seem quite delighted as well trading some moves! Urd and everyone just coming across the Hyakuya Sect sleeping, Shibuya on fire, and the awakened first slicing some dark magic beasts Saito has gathered, intense!
