More Kirie.

In the final chapters of Negima, when we see the future of the Sleeping Asuna timeline, Touta is nowhere to be seen, and Eva is content to move on to another timeline without him.

This is proof that Touta ends up with Kirie.

>>
>>154358811
Yes, but you'll get confused by a lot of characters who show up. Earlier stuff is pretty standalone with references here and there, but the last 30-40 chapters have been Negima-focused.
Negima's first quarter is difficult to get through, but after that it gets very enjoyable.

>>154359092
I completely agree, and even though I'm a huge Negimafag, I've enjoyed UQ for the most part, even if it has flaws. The only part of UQ I don't really like is timetravel asspull because Ken is lazy, and the year long harem arc with 2 new girls no one liked.
>>
Eva > Kirie > Mizore > Honoka = Isana > Cutlass > Karin > Shinobu

The action in the series is top tier but the romance is subpar. I wish Ken would push the harem shit away and just focus on the kickass fight scenes.

>The only part of UQ I don't really like is timetravel asspull because Ken is lazy, and the year long harem arc with 2 new girls no one liked.

Pretty much this. I find UQ entertaining when it focuses on the UQ characters with some Negima sprinkled here and there, it becomes insufferable when it goes full haremshit and full Negima too.

I don't really dislike Kyrie but I agree with the people complaining about her here. She's a black hole whenever she's on screen. Just look at this damn chapter, it's the damn conclusion to vs Negi and 3/4 of the chapter is kyaaaa Kirie confessed except not really and she blushed and loves Tota so much waaaaaaaaai doki doki.

>>154359217
Exactly this.

I agree, Ken can save time and integrity if he turned it into a pure action manga, like the last 10 volumes of Negima. I really like the world-building and mystery of UQ Holder, but harem hi-jinks gets in the way too often and makes it lose hype. We already know which girl is going to win, so I hope Ken focuses on other characters' growth and relationships.

>>154359286
The harem hijinx worked a lot better in Negima and not this series... I don't mind the girls in this series but a lot of them just suddenly started liking Touta. Only Kuromaru is believable in this scenario.
>>
>>154359310
>not chained to Negi Ialda-sama
I hope this means she will join Touta's harem. Touta is missing a brown semen demon after all.
>>
>>154359092
Yeah, it's kind of a shadow desperately trying to be "like the real one". Or at least that's the impression this one is giving me.
>>
>>154359441
It is evident that Ken is trying to recapture the magic sometimes. UQ is much better when it tries to be its own thing. It doesn't need hijinx, just action.
>>
>>154359404
My main issue with the girls in this series is that they're all 3-A characters wrapped into one. The only female character who isn't a composite of a Negima character is Dana, who hasn't had an appearance in 100 chapters.
>>
>>154359441
>desperately trying to be "like the real one"
this is recent and is because it's finally giving us a negima ending, most of the run it was doing it's own thing
>>
>>154359200
I don't know who's half of the girls on your post. I really don't know what Akamatsu thinks he's doing with so much substance-less fluff.

>>154359493
Hijinks would be fine if they were more than just haremshit hijinks. Something that's really missing here is fluff and interactions between all the characters. It's really tiring how whenever there's time for a SoL thingy it's about how much one character wants Tota's cock.

It's the "genki" thing. Think about it, just how many times have we seen the

At least Negi was kinda original with being extremely young and a mage in training with no healing or bullshit powers of sorts.
>>
>>154359708
Negi had to earn Magia Erebea and Touta was just gifted it.

C'mon son.
>>
>>154359750
Like what exactly?
>>
>>154359740
And Negi was gifted with super duper hax magic genius intelligence and Touta can't cast even the most basic stuff.

Besides, it's not like if Touta can perfectly use Erebea. There's a reason he's been working his ass training all the time.

>>154359750
Not at the start. What made Negi endearing to me as a character was reading him follow with the full "mage" progression, starting from humble origins with shit like Magic Missile then moving to better spells and then ultimately haxx'ing reality itself.

Touta was just like okay. He's a vampire so he's already strong I guess, can't die and self regenerates... there's no growth or sense of danger when he fights. I don't really look forward to him getting on the haxx tier since he started almost on it already.
>>
>>154359796
But even through most of the series he wasn't a master mage by any degree.
>>
>>154359816
Can't wait for all the idiots that inevitably come whenever there's an anime adaption.

Besides, let's not kid ourselves, the threads will end up becoming mostly about Negima and Negima vs UQ arguments.
>>
>>154359584
>>154359671
The only girls who matter are Eva, Kirin, and maybe Karin anyways. The rest are side heroines existing for fanservice.
>>
>>154359796
>And Negi was gifted with super duper hax magic genius intelligence and Touta can't cast even the most basic stuff.
No. Negi studied a lot more than children of his age because of the trauma when his sister+village got petrified, that's why he can cast more powerful spells than normal. And even then when Negi fights that mid-level Count Monster or whatever he can barely hold on only because of all the effort he made into learning advanced spells.

Does anyone know if the revised versions of Negima that are being released have new content, or if it's just a reprint? I have no clue, and haven't seen anyone talk about them.

I did like the touch of Asuna sticking with Negi too. Touta better tie Kirie with a rope or something before she also follows suit.
>>
>>154359997
"Revised" ? You mean just reprinted
>>
>This fucking argument again
Nagi was gifted, Negi was also gifted. But somehow when Touta has hax is wrong. Despite the fact that his hax is actually fucking him up and he's been training like mad to learn how to use it and is nowhere close to mastering it.

When it's a fact that everyone and their mom that matters in Negima is hax as fuck and we've always dealt with people who are the tip top of the bestest best ever.

But it's wrong when Touta does it.
>>
>>154359997
if he had as big a falling out with the publisher as rumors say I doubt he'd make new stuff for them
>>
>>154360042
see >>154359933
You're ignoring Negi and Anya's backstory entirely.
Is Negi really intelligent? Sure. Did Negi work his ass off to study more advanced magic than normal kids his age did? Also sure.

Touta was gifted with it, literally born on "epic level" tier template. That's why it feels wrong with him.
>>
>>154359959
I dislike Yukihime, but it's fair to say we have a decent of Eva in the past 40 or so chapters though.
>>
>>154360041
Everywhere I've read, they've called them revised copies.
>>
>>154360042
>Nagi was gifted
And?
>Negi was also gifted
He was still inexperienced and got fucked he just wasn't a weakling.
>>>154360042
>But somehow when Touta has hax is wrong
Touta was literally born to be this perfect amalgamation of Negi and Asuna and already has late Negi's techniques at the start of the manga, its like how Naruto has the most powerful evil monster inside of him but is a complete fucking idiot so shit comes easy for him despite that, Negi actually had to work for his title given who his father was and shit wasn't just given to him while Touta already has everything he just needs to master them hence why he already made someone strong like Karin look like a weakling in a couple of months.
>>
>>154360156
And the epic level powers he was born with weren't enough, let's throw some vampire powers on as well.
>>
>>154360236
The difference between Touta and Negi is abundantly clear. Negi was born with a gift but had to train his ass off to be even half as good as his predecessor.

Touta was born with a gift and flukes his way into understanding it. Touta has a decent (if overused for shonen heroes) personality but the application of his powers really hurts him.

Yeah this is one of the things UQ holder is desperately lacking: relationships OUTSIDE the MC.

It seemed like we were heading there with either friendship or romance on Kyrie and Santa, but that got dropped completely and now Kyrie is another one of the girls after Touta.

In Negima, we had multiple relationships between the girls, like Yue/Nodoka, Kaede/Tatsumiya, etc.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers that Kirie and Santa were on track for being paired together throughout the school and Dana arc, then got scrapped during the harem arc. Sad too, because they meshed well together. He'll probably get with Karin by the end of the manga.

In RPG terms

Touta (base) = level 40

Eva (ME) = level 90 (nerfed)
Rakan/Albireo = level 90
Fate = level 95
Eva (full power) = 100
Asuna = level 120
Negi (ME) = 130
Kirie = 5 cats


Touta has a long way to go

UQ has been getting more interesting though, ever since it invested in Negima. UQ started off strong, too. It's just that Ken isn't good with trying to continue Negima, while trying to tell a new story, that's why he made it much more Negima-focused. Last 20 chapters have been the most interesting ones since Dana's arc.

Checks out. MW arc dragged on far too long and the stronger Negi got the more bland his character was (he got better again once the arc ended). And don't even try to argue that shitty Sports Fest was good in any way.

If Yukihime wasn't already training him as she was raising him he'll be also be splattered all over the terrain constantly because he'd just be a strong zombie if he didn't have any kind of underlying martial training.

However that'd also likely be more interesting, reminiscent of early Yakumo in 3x3 Eyes. Hyper regen and immortality in a protag is at its best it when it is used in a way to dramatically turn the tables when you're down(or the underdog) or when it's the only thing letting them slugging it out as equals.

>>154360390
>The difference between Touta and Negi is abundantly clear. Negi was born with a gift but had to train his ass off to be even half as good as his predecessor.

That actually can be said for the both of them. Negi studied hard at magic school, Touta gets put through physical training by Yukihime. When they both hit the big wall of reality they they're constantly forced into even more training.

We're all just really put off by Touta's special template and his more typical shounen character approach and not much else to make him more interesting. Otherwise he's just being put on the same track but faster because he's being put in view of a more epic scale much earlier. He'd look more deserving if he was explicitly better trained than the 'stealth preparation training in normal life' Yukihime raised him with.

>comparing to Negima is a sin worth impaling
Negima is one of my favorite manga but even I'm not such a Negima cocksucker.

You seem to misunderstand my point, anyway. People like to imply Ken got worse with UQ, but he was already stumbling with the latter end of Negima. Starting with a fresh concept in UQ allowed him to get back up again for a while, but he slowly fell back into his bad writing habits.

The worst part is it happened to a cast that many people were still not attached to (which Ken is also to blame for, I don't know why he's given so little focus to UQ members), so it comes off as worse than when Negima did it. The cherry on top is Ken making the story more Negima centric, pushing the UQs aside and hurting them even more instead of trying to fix the hole he's dug. Instead of climbing out he just started digging sideways.

My point is let's not act like Ken only started getting worse with UQ.

I don't even care. It's harem trash of "who will be the real main girl". I stuck with UQ for that long because it actually stuck to combat. The writing was on the wall that it would eventualy devolve into negima harem shenanigans but man was it at least more interesting than that for a several dozen chapters.

Inferior MC, boring girls, nobody really enjoys stories that start directly at high-level tier spells and fights.
People like the underdog, seeing the little shit rise up in power, seeing the MC suffer defeat several times before beating an average level enemy by an inch.

If the story literally starts with immortals doing super duper incomprehensible shit from the get go nobody's really gonna connect with it.

This is the only reason I have it bookmarked. I WILL read it one day but maybe after I'm sure Negima gets proper closure: Negi beating the Lifemaker; saving his father.
Negima was my perfect manga... proper build up, foreshadowing, and it got killed by editors. Never not mad
>>
>>154359816
They should remake the Negima, with what Ken wanted the ending to be.
>>
>>154377475
Hope you realize that there was no need for Negima to end like that even with the editors trouble.
Ken could have easily ended Negima on a cliffhanger and then resume with Negima 2: Darkness or something under his own conditions. It was his fault to give it a completely rushed ending and then move with UQ Holder and a whole new cast.
>>
>>154364448

Nah, from what I read multiple times, he couldn't do such a thing because of licensing. So Negima 2 wasn't a possibility. It had to be unique series.

How many years it's been since it was shown there was gonna be a tournament?

The only really would-be bad thing about it is that there's no hype final boss like Rakan this time. Maybe Dana but that would perhaps be a bit too bullshit but then again Rakan was bullshit too.

>>154377209
That would be a new point if it were a brand new story but UQ is a Negima sequel no matter how you splice it. You have to rise-up the new characters to the level of the previous ones yes or yes quickly because otherwise how in hell they will compete with them considering you are juggling between the new storyline and the remnants of the old one. Even now that's by most one of the main things of UQ so far, for the new kids to git gud.

For all the complaining about Touta being a gary stu who has everything handed to him and doesn't train, where the latter is factually false, he's still a total shitter who gets shat on by everyone and their mom despite all the training he has gotten so far and his "gifts".

More like a spinoff really. That's how you call it when a story takes place in the same setting but with an entirely new cast. Hell even Evangeline got completely changed for this, it can't be called a sequel no matter how it's spliced.

What is character progression? And, if you used your head a little, you could conclude, that her playing the big almighty vampire, is exactly because of Dana.
>>
>>154385440
Which is even more character destroying.
>>
>>154385519
That is generally what prequels/flashbacks do. There would be no point in a character that has not developed one bit since the birth of the Universe.
>>
>>154385602
Prequels/flashback give some insight on a character's past, they don't shit all over the iconic elements and strong traits that define it by retconning everything into nothing.
>>
>>154385681
Nothing was retconned. Rather we got Eva's motivations and origins explained. She would not have become that haughty and sadistic, if not for Danas influence and being shamed by her. How are you dumb enough to not understand the simple concept of causality?
>>
>>154385834
Which destroyed the basis of her character.
It's like being given Solid Snake backstory and discover that originally he was a G.I Joe cosplayer who got bullied a little bit too much by his friends and went psycho delusional.
>>
>>154385906
So, basically, what you are saying is "I don't like deep characters"?
>>
>>154385906
To be honest, it's hard to believe Eva would start that she was in Negima. Every time we saw her backstory in the original series, we knew that she didn't start on the top, so her having a teacher makes sense.
>>
>>154385681
You just sound asspained Ken introduced someone stronger than Eva, even though we already knew from Negima Eva was turned and not born a vampire. Of course pure blooded vampires would be more powerful than her.

Eva's strength came from 600 years of experience and training. The Eva in the Dana arc started out at fucking 16 years old. Of course she was different and wasn't making a show of her strength. It did not retcon her power, it only retconned her relationship with Touta.

Fate and Eva just need to work together. You can't have two Dark-type characters when we've already proved that Light types and the middle ground types like Negi are already superior.
>>
>>154386268
> Eva is still nerfed too.
Eva is still on 70 year old Fate's tier, who is still massively powerful, it's not a huge nerf. And she's only nerfed because she became rusty over the years, so getting them both training makes sense. Fate is obviously going to aid Touta and Kitty in the final battle with Negi, might as well not make them completely useless this time around.

But it actually doesn't. What we knew from Negima was that she lived a life of constant strife being hunted and fighting for her life against armies. That's how she acquired power, knowledge and in turn confidence until she became so powerful as to shit on gods with a single spell laughing like the awesome loli vampire she is.

Then UQH holder came and it turns out she's nothing special, got shat on constantly by better vampires both in the past and current present and pretty much all her confidence is faking out being like Dana.
It destroyed her character as a whole, no longer people feel this huge detachment with "Yukihime".
>>
>>154386324
I don't know what Fate and Kitty could of even done, when working together. Negi just slaughtered them in less than half of a second. The only reason Touta wasn't KO'd with them is because his Magia Ereba absorbed Negi's lightning.
They'll need some sort of powerup to do something to Negi.

And she still did that, it's not like Dana suddenly gave her everything or invalidated the years she spent being hunted (it was basically the climax for the flashback arc on her you know). Hell, her having a master helps put how she taught Negi into perspective too.

No. We don't know why she is weaker but it's not due to rustiness. It's because she is nerfed that he has a chance of beating her.

Bruh, power of Friendship is a proven thing in Negima.
Nagi was incredible but as Eva points out, a lot of his hilariousness also came from his allies.
You get Fate and Eva to actually work together and you could easily use moves to redirect lightning.
At the very least, even if you can't dodge it and you somehow can't set up a way to null it, Eva should be able to absorb it. She herself has Magia Erebea.

There's no explenation actually given, but considering she settled down for a while after Negi left, it's fair to assume she's gotten rusty, while Fate has done nothing but get more powerful over the years.
> It's because she is nerfed that he has a chance of beating her.
Of course Fate has a better chance of beating her after improving for 50+ years, while she was managing UQ and taking care of Touta.
Still doesn't change that Negi would of slaughtered her even if she wasn't weaker, considering he was able to hold his own against her at 11 years old.
>>
>>154386600
She's been sitting down for decades at Mahora and that didn't touch her powers, why would a few years now suddenly be different?
>>
>>154386629
Her powers were locked away, she wasn't lounging away because she wanted to. She's been doing nothing for at least 10+ years, while Fate has been improving since the end of Negima. It's not unreasonable to think that Fate has nearly caught up to her, after training while she's done nothing. Hell, Fate was able to fight with Nagi and match him in strength when he first born.

Yes, her magic is still ridiculously powerful, and the demon couldn't do shit against her ice, which she still uses. Although, she probably can't one shot CE, if we're including Fate, who caught up to her pretty fast.

and that's literally it so far. It shouldn't be surprising to you that Negi surpassed her considering how fast he was able to grow, and it isn't really a stretch to say Fate got to her level, too. She somehow isn't as 'awesome' because 2 characters caught up to her?

This was already explained. Some elite vampires are older than humanity themselves, and it's extremely looked down upon in their society to tamper with humans. Vampires have no want or need to take over humanity. This was explained during Dana's first appearance.

>>
>>154391695
There's no real reason, besides they only like to meddle with their own affairs. The only pure breed who interacts with humanity is Dana, and her interaction is very minimal. All we know about pure-breeds from Fate rambling on about Dana.

That's still stupid as fuck when literally everything about Evangeline in Negima portrayed her as the biggest and baddest person on the block. The only people who were comparable or stronger than her were Rakan, Nagi, and The Lifemaker, who's essentially god.

Having an entire CLASS of people be so hilariously far above her as to treat her like a child is poor writing. There was nothing so much as hinting that people like Eva, Nagi, and Rakan were anything but some of the strongest fighters to ever come around. For 355 chapters.

>That's still stupid as fuck when literally everything about Evangeline in Negima portrayed her as the biggest and baddest person on the block.
Yes, but that was 70 years ago, before a lot of the lower tier characters got more powerful
>The only people who were comparable or stronger than her were Rakan, Nagi, and The Lifemaker, who's essentially god.
Rakan can't beat Kitty, and that was confirmed by Ken - he couldn't even beat Fate or Negi by the end of the manga. Nagi could at one point, but definitely not by the end of Negima, where Negi was able to beat him solo. And the Lifemaker's power level depends on her host.
Now the only ones ahead of her are Negi who beat Nagi w/the Lifemaker, Fate who trained 70 years straight, Imma who was always her equal, and Dana, who is her superior.

>Having an entire CLASS of people be so hilariously far above her as to treat her like a child is poor writing.
There's only one person in that high class who actually interacts with the human world, and it's rare she does at that. The vampires are essentially living corpses with no drive.

> There was nothing so much as hinting that people like Eva, Nagi, and Rakan were anything but some of the strongest fighters to ever come around. For 355 chapters.
There was no need to mention high vampires since they don't deal with humans, so it doesn't really contradict.

That's nice, but that's not talking about them. That's talking about the Noble Vampires who existed way before the events of Negima.

I think we're on different pages here. I'm not made people became stronger than Evangeline, like you seem to be so quick to jump to, I'm mad about the Noble Vampire retcon severely knocking down Evangeline's power retroactively to the point she was NEVER one of the top dogs in the verse. It cheapens the whole conflict of Negima when the only people who probably wouldn't get shitstomped by the nobles then(That is, before the timeskip) were probably Nagi and The Lifemaker. The Lifemaker's power does depend on the host, yes, but Albireo was utterly petrified of the idea of facing her even before she took over Nagi, and she one-shot everyone in Ala Rubra at the same time(Except Nagi) when they were all actively defending. She's op as fuck no matter who she possesses.

Besides, if the Noble Vampires, except Dana, do nothing and literally may as well be statues, their introduction served no purpose but to retcon Evangeline's power into being nothing terribly special.

But he didn't fuck over anything about the lore.

We KNOW from Negima she was not born a vampire, she was turned into one.

It's a fucking staple of vampire fiction that pure blooded vampires are always stronger than those turned into vampires. Why wouldn't nobles be stronger than her? And why does it even matter? There were already other characters in Negima at Eva's level or stronger than her by the latter end of the manga. Why are you giving UQ shit about it?

But it's true, she calls herself the strongest evil mage, not the strongest vampire. Those are different things. Her strength comes from her experience as a mage, not her vampirism. She even says that early on, she was affected by the typical vampire weaknesses (I'll post the pic next post).

Negi would still crush him, it's that that Touta went RT2, and berserk at the same time, something Negi couldn't do, since Touta ME is the most powerful ME in the universe.
Negi would of vaporized him if he got remotely serious.
>>
>>154393490
Agreed. The only possible way that could've even begun to make sense is if Touta started using some magic cancel as well, but then that'd raise problems of "Where to go from here?" if he could actually use it and Magia Erebea well enough to fuck up Negimaker.

Negi's made more sense, as Magia Erebea fully running wild always gave a sizable power boost. Using magic in Negima is based on willpower and while Magia Erebea gave Negi a huge boost, he probably had to spend a lot of his will power checking its rampage, so while merely using it did make him super strong, it wasn't as much as it could have been. In his demonic form, he's berserk and not using any energy to keep its rage in check, so he's far stronger, if wild.

At least, that's what I think the case is. I believe that's part of the reason he got a fuck huge power jump after reviving. He didn't have to focus his willpower controlling Magia Erebea anymore.

I thought his ME was made to be more effective and useable. I'd think so at least, considering he was able to go berserk and RT2 at the same time, since Negi could only do one of those at a time.

It's a new thing, kinda.

He briefly transformed his limb into a demon's when using a barrier shattering move in negima, but other than that, he didn't consciously shift into it of his own will.

This whole fucking discussion was sparked by Eva's portrayal in the Dana arc and arguing Ken "fucked the lore over" by establishing in UQ that Eva is weaker than noble vampires and that she needed a mentor.

I provide proof that her strength came from LEARNING MAGIC (hence why she is one of the strongest MAGES, not vampires), and that her vampirism wasn't strong from the beginning, and this proof comes from Negima, not UQ--but no, I'm missing the point. I'm done. You people are retarded and only know how to backpeddle and move goal posts.

Negi did that when he lost control at MM and he appeared like that in UQ. Anyone who thinks that Touta was stronger because he hit him with a few punches for a few seconds is retarded. A single stab from Rakan stopped him and punches were not going to do shit.

Nagi was weaker than Eva. He beat her because of he trapped her.

You're focusing on details while the problem is that Eva got retconned into "just little shit" status.

Real talk

How did Asuna appear
How did she drag Negi back to being sealed in Inverse Mars with her
Why did Ialda just let her do that without a fight.

>>154395270
Astral projection and lolmagiccancel plus I'm sure Negi's personality wouldn't harm Asuna
>>
>>154395270
I don't want to question it, I just want the negi characters gone.
>>
>>154395270
Why does Asuna know about Touta and what happened to the gang and what skills they acquired in the meantime when Touta doesn't?
