As an aside, it's weird to me how devoted Negi and co. are to saving the "fake" people of the magic world. I know they still need to save Asuna and Anya, but my understanding is that non-human residents of the magic world are something more akin to AIs... what are you really saving? But I guess that approaches a much deeper philosophical question than this series is likely to take on.



Think of it this way. The non-human residents of the magic world are like Chachamaru. Artificially created, but they're sentient, and have souls. Negi and company would not abandon Chachamaru to death/the afterlife on the principal that "Meh, she's just an AI moving around a robotic body." Likewise they would not shrug off the deaths of magic world natives with "Meh, they're just AI's moving around magical bodies."



i would have thought something like this was obvious from the get go. if this wasn't the case, the decision to eliminate all the "fake" people would  have been made long ago.

I'm wondering how long Chisame and Makie could have held up against Alt-Zazie. I was hoping for Makie to rush her, get booted in the face a few times, and Chisame to be shown hacking the dream world.



...



Chisame needs to hack Cosmo Entelechea! That needs to happen! It will be awesome!

Wait, do Zazie and her sister look exactly the same? Who was Negi fighting in this chapter? It was confusing.

good chapter =) 5/5
