Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 295 Discussion

Actually thinking about it again it would make sense for Chao to have been at the top since the beginning. Fate was ordered to not to kill Negi because 'it would bring trouble to him'and proposed him a way to get out of this world and this mess probably because Chao ordered him to. The high magic tool that Fate wanted to use to make Negi vow not to get in his way was probably made by Chao.

Also the ''don't harm any human'' make me remember the festival war where Chao wanted not to kill anyone. There were plenty of subtle foreshadowing as Chao needed Asuna so she set a spy all along in the class. Which means that she planned everything since day 1. That she lost willingly or not against Negi is unknown but that is probably not revelant to what is happening right now.

chachamaru stated that the "mahora" that they arrived in was not fake, but that doesn't mean it's real. That is, chachamaru couldn't tell that the magic world people were illusions, so if zazie had a lifemaker key then they could be in a lifemaker-type illusion that chachamaru can't detect.



the hooded person really does look a lot like Chao, not only because of her one eye showing and her hair, but also because she's the only characteri know who puts her hands there. it's pretty probable that it's her. However, she cannot be the Chao who got defeated by Negi in the mahora festival. That Chao wouldn't make a second attempt to save her world. A possible...sorta...situation is that Chao prepared two bodies, or two trips, one for each world, with independent objectives that would prevent the unknown catastrophe.

how exactly is Fate's path less bloodshed-ed than Negi's



Fate's path has less blood because everyone just disappears xD

Finally, I was waiting for Zazie's appearance since... well, since chapter 1 actually. She appeared few times trough manga but always in the smallest panel on the page, almost as if Akamatsu wanted to say that she is not important at all. Yet, all of those short appearances were accompanied by strange ghost-like creatures. Could it be that Zazie can control ghosts? It could make sense, though it doesn't really explain why can she teleport.



Also, color spread from volume one, the one that shows Negi and all the girls has Zazie in the very middle of it and she has monster-like hands or something.

Zazie totally caught me by surprise.  I mean, sure I suspected she could be special / different compared to a completely normal human, but I did not see this coming :P



Not saying it was a bad thing, but I 100% did not think to myself that this would happen.

You can't just throw stuff like this into the story out of nowhere...! Where's the foreshadowing?!



-Nodoka



That was Chisame not Nodoka.

She teleported them back to Mahora.



Note that they aren't actually at Mahora. The world tree isn't glowing madly, and students are walking around like school was in session rather than like an evacuation was being prepared.



Furthermore Zazie's offering to take them there (if they'll give up and turn back) as the Mahora scenery is appearing. That'd make no sense if they were actually there. Plus Negi refusing to turn back would be meaningless, as Zazie could then just say "Ok, well good luck getting back to the Gravekeeper's Palace from here in Mahora." and the fight would be over.

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



So Zazie likes to screw around with the Negi-Party, huh?

Let's see how this plays out!

i always knew zazie was weir.. with all those creatures hanging around with her and when fate destroyed the gate port that shorty was there that  cast the teleportation. i guess that was zazie too. but WHAT THE HECK? ZAZIE? talk about random..

Things just went from "Yeah, predictable" to "LOLWUT?"



Akamatsu has totally come out from left field this time.



Going by eye design and stature, it might be one of the "previous" Fate's. Chao has her hair up in buns, the hood doesn't show this hair style.

This is most probably Chao, a hairstyle can be changed quite easely you know. She stated that she is an old friend of Zazie and like someone said in a club I also beleive that Zazie is an upgraded version of Chachamaru with high tech from the future. The pactio card of Zazie would come from Chao and they would both want to stop Negi.



Chao probably have a lot up to her sleeve now.



That's a whole lot of speculation. We don't know much about Zazie, actually we know next to nill about her except for her clown facade. Also, robots cannot use magic.



Chao returning would be her breaking her promise of returning to the future. Besides, if she was truly intent on defeating Negi and Co. she would have had her spell activated back in the Festival arc. It seems her time travelling powers are not that strong either, as if she didn't return to the future when she did it would have taken her 22 years to get back.



Besides, Chao revealing herself now would ruin the plot. Her existence would prove that Negi wasn't defeated by Fate, ultimately proving which side won.



Besides, Negi had to try really hard to establish a pactio with Chachamaru. Chao isn't nearly as powerful as Negi when it comes to magical ability. Her use of what looked to be Magia Erebea (in an early state) kind of proves this.



Anyways, I just hope it isn't Chao. Her appearance would be better after Fate is defeated, but it'd be twice as good if she were to defeat Fate herself.
