Chapter 73 - Reaction & Analysis
(Spoiler for Seraph of the End / Owari no Seraph, chapter 73, that isn’t translated to English yet. Do not click the “read more” below if you want to avoid spoiler)
We haven’t had any great chapter for many months, and it’s finally here. Frankly this chapter is one of the best OnS chapter for the whole year. And that’s not an understatement. The action sequence is glorious. It’s like what you’ll see in the end of the season in the anime.
So you all fellas better go grab the seat belt...
Because this going to be one hell of a ride
Tumblr media
You know a chapter going to be hype when Asuramaru is on the cover, and he didn’t looks very happy there
Another Asuramaru focused chapter? Sign me tf up
Tumblr media
We start with Yuu being a happy little dork as always and-
DID MIKA BLUSHED
THAT’S ADORABLE
I maybe get annoyed by Mika sometimes (actually, a lot) but I love it when Mika shows his positive, humanly side like this
That being said, I still hate his obsession over Yuu
Tumblr media
Yuu, Mika, Guren, Shinya and Kureto talk about something idk not like I could have understand the discussion, so let’s skip that lmao
Apparently, Yuu is strong enough to control his “seraph mode” at will, and the wings alone could tear apart the bound that restrict him
(Though considering that Seraph!Yuu can pretty much destroy the whole city easily, that’s not a big surprise)
Tumblr media
FIVE MINUTES AND CHILLING
THEN WE’RE ALREADY ON THE HYPE TRAIN
LOOK AT THAT
SHIKAMA DOJI IS FREAKING BEHIND YUU
Tumblr media
I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
FUCKING HELL REEEEEE
These, guys, these....
These.... are what I called as.... “the hype page”
It’s when Kagami gives a freaking goosebump over what’s gonna be happen on this freaking chapter
....And ironically, it’s VERY similar to the scene where Asuramaru confront Yuu at the manga chapter where he fought against Mirai
(This one, here, below)
Tumblr media
Coincidence?
I really don’t think so
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can’t believe this
We’re living in a timeline where Shikama Doji, who’s pretty much the most powerful character on the series so far, and the “big bad villain” who control everything, who’s behind the whole fucking plot of the whole story, as the grand mastermind and the very first progenitor of all vampire....
....is confronting Ashera....
Who is, what we can consider, his favorite child
....Words cannot describe how hyped I am....
Tumblr media
AND LOOK AT ASURAMARU THERE
MY BOY, THAT’S A BATTLE STANCE
HE’S GONNA WRECK HIS ASS
Tumblr media
*announcer voice*
DEATH BATTLE! ONE MINUTE MELEE!
ASURAMARU VERSUS SHIKAMA DOJI!
Tumblr media
Also anyone realized how he pull the sword outta his own body?
Well, apparently, that’s one of many thing that he could do
We finally see Asuramaru showing his true combat capability
Tumblr media
Can we appreciate how badass he is there?
Hand down the most badass demon
Tumblr media
Whoa whoa wait a minute
Shikama Doji throw his scythe, Asuramaru dodged...
AND HE CAN MAKE ANOTHER SCYTHE?
TWO OF THEM?
INSTANTLY!?
This guy is OP as heck, nerf pls
Tumblr media
Oh my god
Let’s get a better look at that
Tumblr media
THICC SHOTA TRAP DEMON THIGH
(lol jk that’s not what I wanna discuss here)
Apparently, Asuramaru is fast enough to react against TWO attacks at once, from two different direction
....Even Krul Tepes couldn’t do that, as shown that when Ferid and Crowley attack her at the same time, she’s distracted
Not to mention how Asuramaru attacked FOUR times in a second, against freaking death scythe of doom flying at ballistic speed
My boy is strong af
Tumblr media
OHHHH MY GOOOOD
HE HIT HIM!
Also that special ability whoa
I can’t wait until Yuu can master that ability
So apparently, Asuramaru got more than one “special move” other than Asura Kannon to use.
Remember, Shinoa and Mitsuba said that “possession type” demon cannot use “special ability” and thus, the fact that Asuramaru (and Kiseki-o) can use special abilities, are exceptionally rare, nearly impossible.
Now we got to see that Asuramaru can do ANOTHER ability
AND WHAT CANONICALLY HURT SHIKAMA DOJI
...This is Shikama Doji that we talked about....
If you didn’t remember, Shikama Doji is someone who’s freaking goddamn powerful, not even Kureto with help of Raimeki AND Mirai’s Abaddon could even land a single scratch
And Asuramaru manage to hurt him 
Reminder that Asuramaru is strong as hell
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh no
Shi, please be nice
Tumblr media
F U C K
Goddammit nooooo
My precious shota trap demon.. ;A;
Tumblr media
Apparently, being bitten by Shikama Doi makes Asuramaru remember his past, which makes sense because he used to be his master
(Either that, or it’s just an illustration)
But what is that.... box.... thing?
Is that some kind of prison?
Apparently, Shikama Doji try to cut off his communication with Yuu, because we immediately switch to the scene where Yuu appeared
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Annnnnd there you go
Some more Yuunoa moment for those who shipped them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So uhh... I couldn’t understand the dialogue (of course) but it seems that Yuu is in dire condition since he shouted at Shinoa before, probably asking about what the heck is happening
And Yuu seemingly tried to try to contact Asuramaru, but he couldn’t, which makes him went panic as he realized that something terribly wrong is happening right now
Tumblr media
HOLY FUCK
GET THE FREAKING HYPE CANNON READY GUYS
YUU IS CONFRONTING SHIKAMA DOJI!!! o_O
Tumblr media
AGHHHHHH
GODDAMMIT
Asuramaru is suffering and Shikama Doji give us the “come get me” face
Tumblr media
Oh my god
My heart cannot take this
Look at them
I just.... cannot....
;w;
But ironically, VERY IRONICALLY, this is 90% similar to my headcanon on where Shikama Doji will visit Yuu and Asuramaru at certain chapter in the future. And at that time, Shikama Doji will awaken the forgotten memory of Ashera. Then, Yuu will try to save Ashera... in a pretty much NEARLY IDENTICAL visualization that depicted here on the canon
So apparently, Kagami and I think similarly
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
THEY’RE BAAAAACK TOGETHER
Oh god this makes me so happy
I mean, Asuramaru and Yuu working together to fight against Shikama Doji is pretty much the BIGGEST EVER PLOT DEVELOPTMENT IN THE WHOLE FUCKING STORY SO FAR
Like, hell.... this is a big jump on the plot
It’s like they’re gonna face the final boss
(Also wait.....)
Tumblr media
We got a canon height comparison of Yuu and Asuramaru, at last!
My precious smol demon is so smol hahaha
But in all seriousness, let me appreciate this panel. Look at how they stand together, side by side,
Yuu, with Asuramaru... someone who used to be just a normal rookie in the army with his sword, is going far enough to get here.
The two are indeed friend, perhaps almost like a family, but I never imagine for them to stand by side like a comrade in battle, fighting against the big bad villain together like this
Honestly.... it’s an amazing development
God bless this chapter
Tumblr media
According to a rough translation that I seen somewhere before, Shikama Doji said that seeing Yuu and Ashera being together makes him felt nostalgic.
Will we able to finally see the truth behind Yuu and Asuramaru? Will the next chapter going to be the chapter that finally reveal their backstory when they’re still together thousands years ago?
BOOOOY THE HYPEEEE
So yeah, this chapter is amazing and it’s been a long year since we can finally some freaking big plot development (not just character development) with the great plus side of a really epic badass battle scene
Great chapter  10/10
