Chapter in a few days. Who will die next? What new ways will Phos suffer? Will we get leaks? Will the chapter be delayed? Is a happy ending in store?
Houseki no Kuni
holy fuck it feels like it's been a lifetime since the last houseki no kuni chapter
Chinkanon said we get leaks on the 23rd, so I'm gonna wait. Just hope that we don't get a nothing happens chapter or some kind of bullshit cliffhanger.
It's going to be the last chapter of the volume. It's bound to end with a huge cliffhanger.
>Shitsha dies in lava
I really want this.
Well I guess we're gonna get Phos facing Sensei in the last page then.
either that, or sensei in some kind of decrepit state
Hey look it's Devola and Popola.
>tfw finally caught up
What the FUCK did I just read?
I hope so, let's remember that Phos still has to defeat Shinsha, Jade and Rutile. I think next chapter might end with the start of the Phos vs Shinsha fight.
Advanced mindbreaking.
>Phos breaks everyone else but Cinnabar and sensei (Euclase, Jade, and Rutile I think)
>Cinnabar sends a deluge of mercury at Phos and covers him completely
>chapter ends with the mercury falling to the floor and Phos' face as Cinnabar freaks the fuck out about it not working this time
i'd agree, but ichekawa is the master of anticlimax and cliffhangers
it could easily be a conversation chapter between sensei and phos
>it could easily be a conversation chapter between sensei and phos
Damn, I wish.
>Phos, Phos, Phos
It's Phos and his fuckhuge army of armed Lunarians
We've never seen Lunarians fighting off of their ships so we don't know if it would make them deadlier or easier to kill. Both Cinnabar and sensei have huge area of effect attacks that could destroy tons of Lunarians at a time. The problem is that Phos is also there and sensei can't attack Phos. So Phos could act as a shield for them in some way against him. And even if you consider all of the Lunarians as one fighter and then Phos as another, I doubt Cinnabar could fight against both at the same time.
Bet they're going to use the Cinnabed
>Dios mio just look at the time
Post Bort.
Aparently... This chapter will have 28 pages, sensei can't pray and Aechmea goes down to earth. Take this with a grain of salt (even tho it comes from the account that post the leaks on baidu).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH I WANT PHOS GF
>28 pages
Doubt.jpg
>This chapter will have 28 pages
We already knew this was very likely going to be the case. Volume 9 had the redraws, the artbook and the earthquake.
>Shinsha covers Sensei in mercury
Sensei breaks down definitely. Everyone is now angry at Shinsha and so 20 chapters of Shinsha being tortured begin
I wouldn't mind...
I would mind, don't do this
>Aechmea goes down to earth
Huh
>Aechmea goes down to earth
Assuming these are real I don't get why he would go, it's not like he'll be able to make sensei pray and I think Phos won't really need his help to dust the remaining gems.
Do we know much about the scientist that made sensei? I think it was supposed to be a girl but maybe Aechmea worked with her or something and so might be someone that sensei would recognize. Though I don't know why he wouldn't have gone down to Earth earlier if that was the case.
Aechmea seems to know quite a lot about Sensei and it would be hard to explain how they could make the professor facsimile thing without somebody being familiar with her. Either Aechmea or Barbata could be candidates.
that would be cool
imagine if sensei gets scarred for life lol
Yeah I also thought that there could be a connection between Aechmea and the professor but, as you said, I can't see why he couldn't have used it at his advantage before.
>quite a lot
That amounts to "she created him" and "she looked like a female human in a labcoat".
I still think that humanity's extinction is supposed to have happened impossibly long ago and Aechmea got all that info (and probably his own name) from Sensei.
not funny
Surely not, 28 pages?
How would Ichikawa have enough time to properly fantasize about rocks?
Bort needs to get smashed by dia and then that issue needs to be worked out of her system. Sensei needs to btfo phos and give phos a proper scolding and become sensei again.
Reminder that Phos is far from invulnerable, her interior isn't coated by the same anti-mercury treatment, her alloy might have weird reactions to Cinnabar's mercury, and if she loses her eyeball or whatever she might be blinded or worse lose the ability to activate Sensei
There's also of course the possibility of - I have a sneaking doubt Phos will think she has finally destroyed all the gems and trying to get Sensei to pray agaib before splashing mercury on them - Phos is immune but Sensei's hands will be caught or something, rendering them brittle and unusable, unable to pray.
Maybe that's why Aechmea comes down to save his precious machine, but this is all spitballing. Fuck Shitsha, hope she gets crushed by Phos or by the insecurities and guilt from this scenario
I'd be surprised if Sensei was affected by the mercury desu; he seems to be the only one that Shinsha wasn't worried about harming iirc. Plus, if he is hexagonal diamond like som anons speculated, and/or he operates not as an inclusion-based lifeform but as an interior automata, I doubt that mercury has the same effect. He's a machine, he doesn't need sunlight, so mercury obstructing the inclusions is not a concern of his.
I want Yellow to be okay
I remember an user in a thread last month speculating that the next 2 chapters would be 24 pages since each volume has a certain number of pages. Well last chapter was still only 20 pages, so it would be cool if that meant an extra 8 pages for this one.
will he pray?
Yes.
We should only be having this thread if we know that we're going to get leaks. Otherwise OP should've waited till raws dropped.
I was with you until the last sentence
>sensei won't pray
>Phos got to sensei
>implies shitsha is DEAD
It'll be a good month.
You think Phos would have gone down this path if Antarc hadn't died?
He's a far better bf than mercury whore at least.
No way, Phos only started her journey of maturity and contemplation that led to her suspicion of Sensei and later curiosity towards the the Lunarians because of Antarc's death that spurred her to change further and wonder why and how things worked
She would have been lonely if they had gotten closer though. Imagine having a BFF that you could only talk to quarter of a year at a time. Padpa aside
>phos next purpouse is developing a room where antarc can exist the whole year
I'd say she really began to question things after receiving Lapis's head. Antarc's death was still a key point, but the replacement of Phos's head was always more important to me. Besides that, Phos was tight with a lot of people beyond Antarc.
It feels like all gems are sociopaths. It just took a certain push, and alteration in environments for them to act up
Will Yellow ever recover from his schizophrenia
It's almost like they aren't human and are borderline unfeeling and you got cheated by their cutesy acts.
The only gems that actually act like humans are the ones that behave like absolute psychos like Dia, Rutile and Phos.
Platinum being in her alloy/amalgam would turn into a natural anti mercury barrier if coated, since only the gold would leech out.
>Who will die next
Every single gem
>What new ways will Phos suffer
By not dying with his brothers like he intended to
>Will we get leaks
Yes
>Will the chapter be delayed?
No
>Is a happy ending in store?
Nope
Sasuga!!! amigo basado!
lel lmao
Chapter soon, I'm really loving these last chapters, I wonder which gem is going to die next. I hope Phos doesn't kill Jade, he still needs his own chapter.
Thanks Calendaranon
Another year. Another year of suffering.
>guilt
>what have I done? If only I'd not been skeptical of Phos' information and gone with them unconditionally to the place where most of our brethren have been taken and destroyed! That surely would have stopped them from tearing a new one through the rest of the gems remaining!
Which phos is best phos?
>Genki phos
>Shell phos
>Post-winter phos
>Laphos
>Post-moon phos
>Punished phos
