Air Gear Chapter 203 Discussion

THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.

                ----------------------------------------

                It was highly unlikely that Kazu and his Flame Road would defeat Ikki in this battle since this is a shonen manga. but a very enjoyable battle nonetheless. I'm just rather baffled at the speed Ikki and Kazu learned all those techniques. @_@ seriously, how long has it been since he was abandoned by Sora? a couple of weeks?



Ikki used a bunch of tricks in this battle. a miniature tornado similar to the one used by Sora to defeat Spitfire, and some sort of a explosion that results into a shockwave that's similar to Nike's trick when he broke into Tool Toul To's factory. it seemed as though those tricks (well, the miniature tornado at least) were based on manipulation of wind rather than tricks he created himself using the Hurricane Road as the base. That was something I found slightly disappointing.



Kazu on the other hand seemed like he was being gradually pushed back to a wall by Ikki. of the tricks we've seen him perform, its focused on being in a defensive stance or slowing down/immobilizing the opponent. he doesn't seem to have any powerful offensive tricks in his repertoire compared to the other 7 roads. he's still on Lesson 2 though, which could imply that there's still more to learn from Spitfire. that wall of "time" he used looked really neat though.



and Kudos to Oh! Great for the Emily and Nakayama fanservice. those pages made my weekend. xD

It doesn't really matter that Kazu lost, it was obviously going to end that way. The whole poin of the fight was to get Kazu out of his depression or whatever and it worked. Good chapter.

Crazy and exciting chapter,

that Pile Tornado is one epic trick.

So what the hell..-_-...That ending was horrible...

The fight is still going on.

lol, just one big trick after another.

Cool chapter. The fight scene really made me go all 'wootz' xD

lots of tricks, almost exposed girls and kazu still loses. well it was interesting to see him no longer be such a wimp.

LOL where are all these new tricks coming from? All of a sudden Ikki's whipping tornadoes at people?

Just WOW!

Amazing chapter O_O.

Good chapter.  This whole mini-arc was to finally beat some sense into Kazu and he would finally stop moping around.  All of the latest fights, that's pretty much what you got a sense of from Kazu.  Always disheartened.  But I'm glad that this fight with Ikki rekindled some of that flare with our new Flame King.  



Definitely looking forward to his progression throughout the rest of the series.  

loved this chapter :)
