so far its better than FT but its definitely going to go the "my friends are my power" route possibly only time will tell

I guess the horns on the front of the ship were useful for this.

And last page. Drakken Joe seems unaware of any time loops save that this Rebecca is "No. 30", so I wonder if it's really JUST rewind time travel.

Yeah it doesnt seem to be normal time travel especially with how hes not aware of them making any changes to fight them if they did.

but will Homura's swords finally stop looking like crap?

God I hope. Her simple swords are bad, her complex designs are much cooler.

I kinda hope they end up failing and we get another time rewind.

They’ll just run over drakken joe with the ship then.

Now THIS was unexpected. Now she's number 30. But how does Draken know of the increase in the number?

Nah man, we don't need another ReZero. They failed once now the should fight hard and win. Or at least grab Labi, get Jin on their side and get the fuck out. Maybe grab Laguna as well. He seems decent.

alt-universe body hopping makes the most sense, question is why would Rebecca's number change and go in sequential order

huh. neat
this is better than the theory that not ellie was a clone

Wonder if the guy has something like the machine in Rick and Morty where it could tell there were split universes

do all the jumps end up in that sleeping Rebecca though? The previous leap looked drastically different from the current Drakken plot.

It's most likely hopping between different timelines. Rebecca was probably a clone given a number. In each timeline a different clone survived and would eventually become Rebecca. When something bad happen Rebecca leaves that timeline and it continues on without her while she goes to the next clone. So there are now 29 timelines where everyone got absolutely fucked that still exist which will give Rebecca a reason not to abuse the power

If thats the case I can see Shiki and the rest trying to go back and save whats left of their friends in the "ruined" timelines

Does this mean that edge shiki came from Rebecca #28's timeline? It didn't look like he was on the Belial Goa there

The second outcome would be better, it'd be dumb Joe out this early when he barely had to try last time

Who is rowing? Space niggers?

And to think people honestly believed that "No. 29" would just be Rave Master's "3173" subplot all over again.

In Rave, "3173" was part of a set of coordinates to Elie's hometown to help her uncover her lost memories; the whole part about her being a human test subject turned out to be untrue.

Here, "No. 29" is related to the number of time leaps Rebecca made before escaping from Drakken Joe.

>Here, "No. 29" is the number of time leaps Rebecca did before escaping Drakken Joe.
I'm not entirely sure that's completely correct, since there's multiple methods and mechanics of time travel, especially here with the Chronophage, and we haven't narrowed down the rules Mashima wants to use for Cat Leaper yet.

So it could be rewinding, it could be mental time travel, it could be alternate timelines, we just don't know yet.

I hope there's some point where they summon a bunch of Eden Zeros from across all the timelines together and multiple versions of the crews fight a common threat. That's probably something Mashiro would do for the final arc.

>Hundreds of homuras
Yes

Then I wonder how many would be cumdumps

The galactic police obviously have a device that keeps them up to date with time fuckery.

All of them.

>tanned Homura
>flat Homura
>old hag Homura

a fuck I missed one

Some new Mashima interview is out

>Mashima didn't truly feel like Fairy Tail (the original manga, not the sequel) was over until the anime ended.
>There are two reasons why he thought FT wouldn't last more than 10 volumes: one is because it felt right to make it shorter than his debut manga, Rave Master, which lasted for 35 volumes; the other is because he wasn't sure he'd be interested enough to even go beyond that point. (Reminder: FT has a total of 63 volumes.)
>Reader feedback is the reason why FT lasted as long as it did, and he didn't have any sort of ending in mind until he was drawing the Tartaros arc.
>Rave's plot was more or less fixed from beginning to end; the only major change he made to the story was switching the last boss from King to Lucia. In comparison, the only thing FT had set in stone was "Natsu is a boy looking for the dragon who raised him."
>The FT anime's voice cast had a huge influence on how Mashima wrote their characters, particularly Happy, who became a more complex character than Mashima ever imagined thanks to Rie Kugimiya's performance. This was done by Mashima's request, as he asked them to give their own interpretation on what their characters are like.
>Natsu has so much in common with his actor, Tetsuya Kakihara, that Mashima started drawing Natsu to look more like him.
>Mashima had no direct influence on the anime's casting; it was entirely an anime staff decision.
>He coincidentally met with Makarov's actor, Shinpachi Tsuji, around the time Makarov was supposed to die on Sirius/Tenrou Island. Because Mashima enjoyed talking with Tsuji so much, he decided to keep Makarov around. (This may be why Mashima felt more comfortable with Makarov dying towards the end if he didn't decide to back out for different reasons.)
>Mashima feels that storyboarding FT's original OVA episodes is harder than just drawing the manga and letting the professional anime boarders do the rest.

Or there is a known hint, for example for each time reset the chronophage takes out a planet. Drakken only needs a record of how many worlds were eaten to figure out the amount of jumps.

>When he was starting out with Rave, it almost faced cancellation due to sub-par reader surveys, so he was forced to get to the interesting parts of the story (i.e., the stuff with Haru's missing father and the intended final villain) much sooner. This had a huge influence in why he based FT's story around what he thought would be most interesting at each given moment.
>Mashima gets plenty of rest and playtime despite his workload (i.e., making three weekly manga at the same time for two-and-a-half months).
>His current weekly schedule is as follows: he storyboards on Sunday, meets with his editor on Monday, draws at least eight pages a day from Tuesday through Friday, and works a different job on Saturday. Each day he works for 9-10 hours, plays games for 2-3 hours, and idles around through the rest of it.
>He draws more slowly and carefully now than he did before, but his switch to digital drawing means his work goes faster anyway.
>For him, drawing colored pages is the hardest part, and storyboarding is the most fun.
>As a writer, he recommends that if you ever get stuck between writing what you want or what the readers want, always choose the reader, even if you prefer your way deep down; also, try to be as objective with your editor as possible.
>Mashima always reads everything in fan letters and Twitter, including criticism. However, he will never disregard his own gut feeling on what he feels he should and shouldn't write.
>He feels fortunate to be someone who's gotten to write both what he wants and what the readers want, which is a struggle for many artists.
>He used to clash with his editor over his personal desires for his manga, but since Fairy Tail is rooted heavily in pleasing the readers, he's made that his biggest motivator in writing stories.
>HERO'S was conceived as a love letter to the fans, since neither Rave nor FT would've lasted as long as they did without their support.

Explains a bunch about FT really. Hack

So it would pretty much be the final boss of Bravely default

>As a writer, he recommends that if you ever get stuck between writing what you want or what the readers want, always choose the reader, even if you prefer your way deep down
>Rave master was what he wanted to write
>Fairy tail was what the fans wanted hin to write.
It's a damn shame it has to be like this.

Yes.

hey they actually used the ra from the dragon nose

He sounds like a really swell guy, and I understand wanting to please your readerbase to not get your manga canceled, but doing your own story should take priority. I think Edens Zero is him trying to balance this.

>Since FT has a huge following in America and France, he's more conscious now about overseas reactions to his work than ever before.
>Incidentally, he doesn't know why FT is so popular overseas, but he figures it's because it has more of an emotional element and presence of strong female characters than most other shonen action manga.
>Although his works are chock full of strong female characters, he has never striven to add them for the sake of having them. Rather, it's because he was inspired by role-playing games that just happened to have female fighters who could be as strong as any other thanks to in-game parameters. That, and he was inspired by real-life friends and family who also happened to be female.
>On Edens Zero, Mashima briefly considered making his post-FT work another sword-and-magic fantasy story before deciding to take on the challenge of making it a space fantasy, which tend to be unpopular in Japan.
>Mashima finds it harder to draw EZ than anything else because he's more used to making round and natural objects than hard and straight ones. He's only just started getting the hang of it now.
>He uses seasonal names for his protagonists (Haru = spring, Natsu = summer, Shiki = four seasons) because they're appealing to native and foreign readers. He started with "Haru" to ease native readers who weren't used to seeing Western-styled stories in WSM; "Natsu" came next because "summer comes after spring"; and since he used the names "Aki" (autumn) for Monster Soul and "Fuyu" (winter) for his one-shot Combo Squad Mixture, he picked "Shiki" to bring them all together.
>He was influenced by surreal gag comics (e.g., "Utsurun Desu." by Sensha Yoshida) to use strange mascot characters like Plue or Happy, setting them apart from other mascots.

Wonder if this "round and natural" vs "hard and straight" thing is why Homura's sword changed.
