Chapter 171: "Defeat"

All these women filling up the many halls of headquarters and not one manages to capture Peter. I find that kinda ridiculous that he's able to run so far without being stopped by someone grabbing him or take a shot at him, like c'mon ladies, y'all have guns, use 'em to shoot at his leg or something at least!

Whatever, the dude can run around like a coward all he wants because a villain more worthy of our time has taken the stage. Don't get me wrong, I was so beyond anxious to see him actually still alive and for him to grace us with his terrifying presence here of all places, but despite all the fear, I was lowkey excited because of how great of a character Leuvis is.

And Palvus. I missed his many amusing expressions and gestures too.

Pfft, I love that even he's surprised to be alive after Yuugo's final bullet to the face. And the flashback panel showing how his body was nowhere to be found moments before GP blew up was so obvious and yet I still remained completely blindsided when this psycho was revealed to be alive the first time all those years ago. (the duality of this guy is incredible, to feel so scared of him yet amused by the cute way he pinches Palvus' cheeks.)

The way he has no respect for those new demons who took over is almost as hilarious as Palvus imitating his wicked grin.

That's certainly a memorable way to greet your family after so many years.

He chugs the cursed blood so aggressively while the crowd is sent into a total panic. Sonju & Mujika were just about to be executed for having said blood, so perhaps they all believed Leuvis was sentencing himself to the same fate, but he assures them that there's nothing evil about the blood, just that the lie surrounding it was the only cruel thing about it.

I never imagined that Leuvis would return and I definitely didn't think he would actually spread the truth like this by ratting out the malicious ways the old queen and nobles kept control over everyone.

Leuvis has such a great heel-face turn. Yeah Sonju thinks of how his brother always sorta held some distaste towards the farm system and the promise, but just comparing the Leuvis that Emma fought at GP against the Leuvis we see openly supporting justice now really is quite a shock. So much so that even Leuvis himself acknowledges the stark contrast.

Kinda love that Leuvis is pretty much stepping up only because he doesn't wanna live in a world run by Peter. And honestly, who would want to take orders from that boy? Just imagine if he tried giving Leuvis a command. Peter would be dead in seconds. But yup, almost positive I said this years ago, but I still believe this whole redemption arc of Leuvis' is partly due to the influence Emma (& the whole battle at GP) had on him.

I would've never predicted Leuvis would help Sonju & Mujika out like this but I'm thankful he did. Totally unexpected of the psycho villain I came to love and appreciate, but welcomed all the same. Safely secures a spot as my second favorite villain (only because the lady in first can never be moved. i wont allow it).

Oh, that last panel caused me to worry so much the first time. And the whole scene of Emma holding Peter at gunpoint really sent me into that mindset that someone might come along and kill him. Sigh. Silly me, thinking that one of the kids (and/or Isabella) would actually shoot this man.. wishful thinking.

Favorite panel/moment:

There's many of Leuvis that I enjoyed but already included, so I'll put this one here. This dude speaks so proper and royal. I love it. (also, the pets for Palvus.)

End of volume 19.

Chapter 94: “All of Us, Alive”

Oh I just know this moment would’ve looked amazing had it been animated with an arc shot.

I know I tease about the plot armor Emma had in order to survive getting stabbed, but whatever Palvus has is next level. Little guy was perched on Leuvis’ shoulder the majority of the fight and didn’t get hit with a single bullet, electrocuted or blinded. What crazy luck.

Same with Adam. He might’ve only got knocked back by Leuvis’ injured arm once, but he’s built different..quite literally.

Emma’s plot armor must have a time limit drawback because the girl could barely take another step before collapsing once more. Naturally it sends Ray into panic mode yet again. My poor kids can’t catch a break. I just want them to celebrate their well-earned victory!

The amount of relief, joy and shock they must be feeling upon seeing each other again for the first time in thirteen years.. aaah, it’s amazing neither one bursts into tears here because I honestly would.

I love both of them and their long-awaited reunion, truly, but it would be a lot more wholesome if Emma still wasn’t bleeding out here! Thankfully they keep it brief for her sake. Calling someone an idiot is definitely a term of endearment. I don’t make the rules.

No more medication? No problem! Just leave the healing to Ray’s abundant knowledge, some fancy herbs and conveniently placed medical equipment to save the day! Nah but seriously though, I love how intense his emotions are, though I’m sure the anger he’s feeling here is still a result of what Leuvis did rather than towards the lack of medicine. It’s definitely a set back but Ray’s gonna do whatever it takes to save Emma’s life. He’s so determined he’s thinking up every possible solution there is.

Could you imagine if Yuugo guided the duo to GP on that one & a half day trip instead? If he really wanted to get rid of them at the start, that’s certainly the way he should’ve went.

Take a drink every time someone in this series tries to be self-sacrificing.

Favorite panel/moment:

He cares for her so much it makes my heart ache and my eyes tear up. He spent his whole life striving to keep her alive and he’ll be damned if he doesn’t hold onto his promise now, especially when he believed in Emma’s words so strongly. If no one is allowed to die then that means you too, sweetheart!

Chapter 92: “Fire Away”

I love how everyone is genuinely impressed (and maybe a bit scared) by Adam’s strength. Also, I know this may not be the best time to wonder about this with all the chaos of the battle going on, but did Emma or Ray never actually hear him mutter Norman’s number? Even when back at the shelter? Granted, the duo were out searching for the Seven Walls majority of the time, but still. Not even one of the other GF kids managed to catch him saying the number out loud? Eh whatever, I dunno why this thought is suddenly coming to me now of all times.

Who is the real beast here, the demon flying through the air or the young mad lad who managed to punch him all the way up there? The kids are totally speechless and ya can’t blame them. Seeing Leuvis get tossed around like a rag doll is quite the sight.

Even Leuvis is overwhelmed by Adam. Poor Palvus could’ve easily avoided this flight if the little guy just let go. Kinda funny how Violet had no idea where Adam came from or when he appeared at GP yet Leuvis figured it in just a couple minutes. Yeah Violet doesn’t know about Lambda (at least I don’t think Emma shared that specific info from the pen with everyone else yet, instead focusing on the battle preparations) but Leuvis can barely see with his blurry vision and that was enough for him to piece it together somehow. Hell, it might not even be due to Adam’s crazy strength or the Lambd mark on his chest, but the fact he’s muttering Norman’s number? And perhaps Leuvis think this is Norman instead? I dunno, I’m having many odd, pointless thoughts so far.. ain’t that fun.

Leuvis must’ve ate a cat at some point since he still managed to land on his feet after taking countless shots midair.

You know it’s a problem when you find the villains relatable.

Ah, here’s the panel of Ray reloading. And Leuvis saying “my dear” is definitely something I don’t remember?? Oh my, this dude could be such a gentleman in literally any other kind of scenario ahhaha.

A fair attempt I suppose but y’all already know how much he is relying on sound now ever since the first flash bomb! That’s how Leuvis managed to take out Pepe! Even Palvus learned from the first mistake and is shielding his own eyes!

Yuugo’s jaw-dropping shot causing some damage outside the panel.

Leuvis is so darn clever bro. All he’s doing is dodging to buy some time before his sight and wounds regenerate and yet he’s still causing the kids to slip up and remain cautious.

How he can still manage to send Adam flying into the building with so much force when he can barely see and with his arm completely busted?? Leuvis is incredible and I really should’ve kept this psycho in my top ten like I originally planned.

Favorite panel/moment:

Okay, all things considered with how beat up Leuvis currently is, it’s insane that he moved fast enough and dealt such a fatal strike to his prime target. On the flip side however, this hurts SO MUCH! AAHH our poor girl!! I was beyond speechless upon reaching this moment for the first time because I had literally no idea how Emma could recover from this. To make matters worse, I distinctly remember when I read these past few chapters one morning and said to myself, “eh, I’ll read one more before I start work,” and lo and behold, this just so happened to be the moment I had to leave off on! Probably the worst kind of cliffhanger.. I was filled with anxiety and my mind was literally racing all day until my lunch break where I could finally see if this precious girl was gonna be okay.

As terrifying and worrisome as this moment is, it’s still one I was looking forward to the most had season two been animated correctly. The shock value alone of seeing the main character be impaled would’ve definitely made all viewers, whether mange reader or anime-only, freak out (myself included. especially if they blasted her “63194” theme here!) Also, would’ve loved to hear all the panic in Ray’s scream.

Chapter 83: “Answer After 13 Years”

Big props to Nigel for carrying Gillian for who knows how far. It makes me so happy that these kids care for each other so much.

Bayon “lost” you guys, huh? Think again. Look at this dude, just chillin there with his arms crossed as he uses them to lead him right to where Lucas is located. Gotta give credit to Bayon on this plan. It’s safe for him and ends up working perfectly.

I tend to bitch about how Sonju simply told the escapees the demon’s weakness in season two, yet I forget that’s exactly how Lucas & all the GP resistance kids found out too, only from Leuvis. It makes me even more proud of Ray for figuring it out on his own.

Leuvis is too smart for his own good and I absolutely love it. Knowing your enemy’s plan might seem boring to some, but that excites him more. (and then there’s Palvus copying him once again, this time with the finger pointing.)

Eh, the perks of being the main protagonist, I suppose.

The psycho actually agreeing to sit around and wait until more children arrive is a chilling moment. He complies since this whole battle is Lucas’ answer to Leuvis’ game proposal (albeit thirteen years later), but the demon can’t wait to see what other tricks the humans have up their sleeves. Emma’s got nerves of steel to carry out this job too because I know I’d be filled with so much anxiety during these ten minutes, not knowing which allies may or may not show up and forced to stand around next to this dangerous demon who is becoming progressively more enraged with every passing minute whom I may very well might have to fight alone.

Absolutely love how their eyes shine so bright with murderous intent.

Favorite panel/moment:

Leuvis has always been my favorite poacher and demon, hands down, but I am starting to appreciate Bayon a bit more during this slow readthrough. How he calmly snuck after the kids is one reason, but making fun of Peter is a surefire way to get on my good side.
