I love this series so so so much! 🤩🤩🤩 I came in thinking I would like it but probably wouldn't pick up the next volume.

WRONG!

I loved volume two even MORE! Such a fun & funny series! 🙌

Highly recommend if you like The Apothecary Diaries and want a FL who is just as spunky!

Prologue

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “News of my disciple’s defeat……… and death………”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat tries to stay calm. However, she loses control of her fury.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “And…… his opponent in that fight was none other than Neo Hong Kong’s Gundam Fighter, Undefeated of the East!!”

Domon: “!?”

Domon is shocked.

Undefeated of the East: “.........”

The Undefeated of the East gives a faint, ironic smile.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I can't believe it, the fact that you're participating in the Gundam Fight……… How could the previous master have permitted that………”

In the middle of speaking, Lone Fox Seeking Defeat realizes something.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “No, surely not………”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat thinks for a moment, but then it quickly becomes clear to her.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I see! Did you follow that old custom rooted in our school?!”

Undefeated of the East: “You knew about that, my elder sister disciple?”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “That's right, after running away from the school, I heard from an old acquaintance of our former master………”

Undefeated of the East: “Is that so………”

With a solemn expression, the two of them become quiet. Domon wonders what's going on.

Domon: “Old custom………? What are you talking about??”

Each with their own thoughts, Lone Fox Seeking Defeat, the Undefeated of the East, and Domon confront one another.

Stalker: “A feud between siblings unfolded around the title of the school's Master……… and healing was waiting at the end of this journey of despair……… However, in a complete turn of events, this has created an even deeper despair……… That’s right……… all in the name of the Gundam Fight……… And now, the circular chain of events between Lone Fox Seeking Defeat and the Undefeated of the East would come to bear on Domon Kasshu's fate as well………”

X X X

The Shuffle crew members listen in stunned amazement to Lone Fox Seeking Defeat's story.

Rain: “Domon’s school has that kind of a history………”

Rain unconsciously stops what she's doing.

X X X

Likewise, Wong has also absorbed all of this.

Wong: “I see…… So that's how it happened……… But………”

He looks at the sky above Neo Hong Kong. The colossal corner post is descending further.

Wong: “This is far beyond the scope of my calculations!!! ……… Please do something, Shuffles!!”

Wong turns his attention from Domon and company to each of the Shuffle's battles.

In a one-sided fight, they are being pushed back and struggling.

Shirley: “This is bad, the corner post is dropping faster and faster!”

Bunny: “At this rate, we'll be………”

Janet: “No, Neo Hong Kong itself will be completely destroyed.”

Cath: “If that happens, there'll be nothing left of the Gundam Fight, nothing left of anything………”

X X X

The corner post collides with Neo Hong Kong, causing an enormous explosion.

Raymond: “Ms. Nastasha, is there anything we can do?”

Raymond looks disconcerted.

Nastasha: “Hmm……… We still need to do something about the barrier!”

All of them are panicked.

Rain: “I wish we could at least use a gundam, but this barrier disables the gundams’ power………”

Then Schwarz’s voice interrupts.

Schwarz: “No! There is a way!!”

Everyone: “Huh?!”

When they look in surprise, they see Schwarz standing facing the barrier.

Schwarz: “It will only take a moment to activate your new gimmicks, right?”

Nastasha: “Y-... yes!”

Shirley: “As long as the signal reaches them, that's all we need.”

Zuisen & Keiun: “That's enough.”

Raymond: “We'll figure out the rest!!”

They gaze at Schwarz with hope.

Schwarz: “In that case, don't let that moment slip by!!”

With that statement, Schwarz pushes both hands against the barrier.

The barrier's shock runs through Schwarz's entire body.

Rain and the others watch him with amazement.

Rain: “Schwarz!!”

Schwarz: “AGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Schwarz endures the shock. He brings both hands close together and thrusts his fingers into the barrier.

Schwarz: “Rain!! You need to discover Lone Fox Seeking Defeat's weaknesses quickly!!”

Rain: “But, if you do that won't you be hurt?!”

Schwarz: “Don't worry about it!! I have German ninjutsu!! I can handle a barrier this strong!!”

With his fingers inserted into the barrier, he tries to create a rift in it.

Schwarz: “AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!”

His fingers curl back, and his hands themselves begin to turn in the wrong direction.

Rain: “But—!!”

Schwarz: “HURRYYYYYYYYY!!!The corner post is approaching!!!”

The corner post is even closer to Neo Hong Kong.

Rain: “O-... Okay!!”

As she turns away, Rain operates the controls in her hands. Nastasha and the others follow suit.

Nastasha: “Alright!! Let's get our controls ready as well!! Don't let Schwarz's effort go to waste!!”

Shirley: “Got it!!”

Zuisen & Keiun: “Let's hurry!!”

Raymond: “Yes!!!”

They all prepare their control units. With his back to them, Schwarz endures the pain.

Schwarz: “Th-that's right……… That's it!! If it's my hands, there's no need to worry………”

The fingers of Schwarz's hands are warped and disintegrating. Then following that, they are regenerating again.

Schwarz: (My body is made from the Devil Gundam's copy system! So even if my hands are destroyed in the barrier, as long as they keep regenerating the barrier will definitely be torn!!)

Schwarz yells in his mind. However, the barrier's shock intensifies further and engulfs Schwarz.

Schwarz: “!!!!!!!!!!!”

Gradually, his knees begin to shake.

@r3loaded asked → " how's the whole 'dead' thing working out for you? " ( src. / accepting. )

That brusque and uncompromising manner of speaking is, Hakkai has come to learn, quite usual for Genjo Sanzo. It's a little nicer than he would have expected to have someone around who treats his current existence so matter-of-factly. Sanzo does not step delicately around the rotten wood in the floor of Hakkai's newly forged heart—he punches through it, unforgiving and half-uncaring, so those weak spots might be replaced.

Hakkai is more than a little infatuated with the way Sanzo lives, though he's not ignorant to the fact that there's clearly something heart-rending behind Sanzo's rotting interior, too.

"It's working out well, as a matter of fact," Hakkai reports. He is both polite and deeply grateful, and the two sentiments seem to battle for presence in his tone of voice. Sanzo probably isn't the sort of person who'd appreciate his sentimentality, and anyway, they hardly know eachother. "Gojyo hasn't complained to me about my continued stay in his house, and I've finally been able to make myself known to the locals."

He doesn't mention the tension that's seeped its way between himself and Gojyo, thick but permeable. Hakkai feels like his every step is under some strange kind of scrutiny—Gojyo never complains, but he rarely engages with Hakkai's gratitude or his care, which in many ways is worse than just complaining. Hakkai sometimes feels invisible there, though the two of them speak to eachother.

He wonders if the only thing keeping him there is the thought that he doesn't want to leave behind the man who had picked him up, half-dead and spilling his intestines on the road, and nursed him back to health. If Gojyo really doesn't need him as much as he'd thought, what else is there that stays his leave?

The close-lipped smile he gives Sanzo is, of course, made to hide those complicated feelings. Above everything else, he's grateful for the life that he's been allowed to live, and no matter how things go with Gojyo, he's determined to spend as long as he needs repaying the debt he owes to Sanzo in the little ways he's capable of; tutoring Goku and spending time at Keiun Temple. 

"Actually, I wanted to thank you for trusting me enough to allow me to go back there." Expertly changing the subject, Hakkai reaches down to the bag he'd packed in preparation for his trip back to the temple. "If you'll excuse the poor presentation—I brought something for you."

Steadily and easily, he removes the bulk of the bag's weight and sets it on the desk that separates him and Sanzo; two medium-sized containers, washed and reused from some cheap restaurant or another that Hakkai doesn't yet know the name of, filled with his own cooking. He pushes the slightly smaller one on his right towards Sanzo; despite the distance he'd travelled, the materials of the container are still warm.

"I don't have much else to busy myself with, as I'm sure you could have guessed. You seemed to enjoy the chazuke I made during my stay here, so I figured it would be a suitable thing to bring over. Although," Hakkai glances at the other, larger container, an amused smile creeping onto his face, "I did realize Goku wouldn't be satisfied with just that, so I brought him some stir fry."

G Gundam meta notes part four, eps 25-29:

"All Fighters Gathered! The Final Battles Begin"

-the Shuffle Alliance being so shrouded in mystery is interesting given that EVERYONE IN UNIVERSE SEEMS TO KNOW THEM or at least that the crests mark top fighters

-blah blah clip show episode mostly but HELLO FUUNSAIKI

-S U P E R  A S I A 

-just in case we forgot this is actually a crapsack world, we get "yeah you can target the cockpit now, yes I know exactly what will happen :)"

-and "unlimited repairs (if you can afford it lol)"

-hold on, is Chibodee left-handed? Or is he just saluting with the left because it feels less Nazi-esque that way? (If this was obvious in his earlier episodes, forgive me; I've never been great with my left and right, especially when I have to flip them. It just sticks out here because he's saluting differently from everyone else.)

"A New Weapon! Erupting God Finger"

-Wong talking with his mouth full is great

-I love that Domon seems to be allergic to hotels

-”no one here has any clue how powerful my Burning Gundam is” INCLUDING YOU, DOMON

-WHY IS MARCELOT THIRTEEN FUCKING FEET TALL

-✴️ wander bug ✴️

-Argo's thumbs up is a thing of beauty

-I wanna know what happened to Hoy and Ming's parents

-ah, the suit-up is much easier in this gundam

-huh, Marcelot took that loss in stride

"Hang on Domon! Triumph of the Restored Faith"

-i love Domon with children

-and Rain referring to said kids as Domon's friends, interesting

-and Domon both believing kids are working with Chandra and being disturbed to distraction over it

-okay this is bizarro-land racist. Is he supposed to be part snake?

-although between him and the last guy, I wonder if it's supposed to imply that some of the colonies have been doing genetic engineering to create super-fighters. It wouldn't be the weirdest or shadiest thing going on in this universe

-Hoy is clearly markedly younger than the rest of the friend group 

-”Mister East”

"Domon Targeted! The Assassin's Staff"

-the announcer swooning over Schwarz

-Hoy, kiddo, there's a pest here and it's the one who kicked a guy in the shin 0.2 seconds after meeting him

-love that, knowing he's dealing with an assassin, Chibodee 1) brings it up real casual with the target, and 2) is ready to BEAT UP SAID ASSASSIN

-”if I can sneak up to him” he says, and then yells

-that was a noble attempt to save him, Chibodee

-Chibs did his research on Kyral, I see

-Neo Nepal is fucked up, but then with some of these countries what else is new

-Sai as training partner is great

-Chibodee, why would you rush in and try to hit this guy? Also, why are you still hanging around there anyway?

-after all these wins by default, you'd think someone would investigate

-that double phallic sword faceoff just screams "I see your schwartz is as big as mine, now let's see how well you use it"

-”then I will SLASH you!”

-I wonder if there's something to be said about ableism in the Gundam Fight - like, clearly Kyral can fight while blind, so they didn't have to toss him aside

-Schwarz’s Moon Tiara saves the day again

-cultural relativism? Chibodee seems hung up on Kyral’s crimes being unforgivable, while Domon and Sai are like “he's moving forward and doing better, good for him”

"Running Away! Sai Saici In Love"

-I guess Neo Denmark is low on money, to not be able to repair the Gundam

-Sai trying to sound cool and mysterious is hysterical

-I wouldn't mind Sai’s canon height so much if Cecile wasn't shorter than him. A teenage girl markedly under 4’4”? With no indication that they're meant to be little people? Even for anime, that's a stretch

-though I wonder if she dresses the way she does to signal that she is, in fact, older than she looks

-Cecile is so frickin noble and good-hearted

-Hans has very twink-or-lesbian vibes

-”elderly men?” Cecile probably assuming a gay couple adopted Sai. Though I guess we don't know what's up with Zuisen and Keiun anyway?

-Domon doesn't know a date when he sees one, or at least that you don't interrupt one

-brb going hyper mode just to trip some guys

-unison speaking is one thing, but synchronized crying is something else

-I wonder what Hans does in the off season

@healingbrews || Closed starter

It was just another day, Hakkai heading to the market in the afternoon to purchase some snacks (he made sure to throw in some fruits too), before making his way to Keiun Temple.

Even while lost in his own thoughts, however, it was hard to miss the faint pulsating aura from somewhere in the distance. Fleeting. Yokai energy? No, there was something... different about it, but he couldn't quite figure out why.

Regardless, his legs almost seemed to move on their own, towards where he thought the source was. Curiosity killed the cat, he supposed. Even when he's aware that he should've known better. Further down from the main street, he stopped and looked to the left at a quiet alley to find—

A woman.

Now usually he'd mind his own business and move on, but from a single glance, he could tell that she was unwell. Pale, as though all vitality had been drained.

"Pardon me," Hakkai spoke as he approached. "Apologies if I'm being presumptuous for asking but, might you need assistance, Miss?"
