Also the author note from Togashi was interesting, if I understand right he said the next 30 chapters have already been sketched out and they just need to be finished. That's good news! We may get a break coming up but I very much doubt it will be as long as the last one.



No way! Is that for real? Sounds too good to be true. Still pessimistic after the 4 years wait.



That is at least what it seemed to say from his author note, he also said he wants to draw them quickly so I really doubt that we will have another long wait for the next chapters!

Yep. The Phantom Troupe flashback is indeed over, and we're back to the present. So in other words, that last chapter was most likely the last time we'd ever see Uvogin, Pakunoda and Shalnark (as well as Kortopi) for the rest of the manga. We still don't know where the "Phantom" part of the name comes from, or why they got spider tattoos. But we do know how it all began.



Okay chapter. Hinrigh and the Phantom Troupe have teamed up. The PT didn't trust Hinrigh completely at first, but it seems Nobunaga should now trust Hinrigh after teleporting after him and seeing how he'd react.

Well we went back to the ship chapters and it was very good



A curious fact is that when Feitan is angry he speaks so badly, so calm down people who think that the translations are bad



I like Nobunaga too much



Feitan's mother language is Chinese. He always spoke in bad Japanese/English/whatever language you're reading it. The one time he spoke in Chinese was in his battle with one of the Chimera ants.

I've been shitting on this manga a lot lately but this was a surprisingly good chapter, it even had decent art so yeah, this chapter gets a pass.



The Spiders are one of the best things this manga has to offer so seeing them doing their thing in the present is pretty cool.

This is a misconception. He speaks flipped Japanese when angry.

I'm liking this dynamic between the troupe and Hinrigh. Chapter felt like a co-op horror game, very ominous.

Enjoyable read and interesting chapter although not too much happened.



Hinrigh is really growing on me as a character.
