Air Gear Chapter 357 Discussion

can someone tell me what happened to sleeping-forest after sora fought them

are they died or what cuz the last we ever saw of them they looked died to me???????

I just wanted to finish this bullshit, I was great the first 100+ chapters after that it became nonsense, and the ending just fit what we were watching the last years.

I finally finished this.

The first ~120 chapters were pretty good and enjoyable.

Then it gets confusing but you can still understand it.

But the last 100 chapters were just some random bullshit.

The author trying to explain physics and make sense was just stupid..



Overall I give it 6/10.

That was amazing final chapter but this manga must be animated to the final.

Looking forward to the new work from "Oh! Great"

I thought it was satisfying and besides, Oh!Great couldn't have ended it better in such a short amount of time. The final attack had already happened because as it turned out, the true deciding factor was Sora's Bloody Wings vs. Ikki's Astral Magus, and we all know who came out on top of that one. Pretty surprising that the final Trick would be more of a defensive one, especially considering how this is a shonen manga.



As for Sora surviving? Think about it people, the guy practically just got the worst punishment he could ever deserve. Sora was resigned to die for leaving everything behind (literally) and what? You just tell him to pick himself up and start over? That is not something that is easy to do and probably the harshest thing you can grant to someone who is so far gone that even he recognizes it.



Regarding Ikki, I like what OG did. He left it ambiguous, which in my opinion actually works for both kinds of fans. We never know if he was truly an experiment and if he was, does it even matter? After all in the end even Dr. Minami was rooting for Sora to win all along as he considered him his greatest experiment. So really that doesn't really leave much for Ikki. I like that it doesn't matter what Ikki really is, it's what he does that defines him (totally my Batman Begins reference right here).



I don't know why some people are confused about the last chapter though. It plays out like an anime ending episode where you see different "videos" being put together to close off different characters. I thought it was perfect, and it gave that uplifting feeling that life goes on.



Thank you for those 10 years Oh!Great. Air Gear may not be perfect, but it sure as hell is one of the most unique and enjoyable shonen manga series I have ever had the pleasure to read. Air Gear may not be perfect, but this last arc was pretty damn good in my eyes. To finish off at such a high note, I can say that I'm actually pretty damn satisfied.



I have pretty much the same feelings, though I'm not surprised so many people are disappointed with it.

I just had to do this for those looking for some nostalgia:

And for those who have not seen the OVA (air gear part 2 basically):

Arghh, the ending would be complete if the author shows Ikki and Ringo together!

As I read the last chapters of the manga it got very clear he was just stuffing what he could get from the news into his chapters. IE.... Obama, 99%, and 1%...... At one point I was waiting for the occupy wall street to show up in his chapters.



One guy said "about half way his manga just dropped". I feel the same. He had a great idea and ran with it. But I think he just ran out of ideas to keep it going well. Near the end I think he wanted it over more than wanting it done.
