Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 317 Discussion

Haha, so I guess fanwriters are not true fans, then XD



Regarding the paction thing you guys where discussing a while ago, I guess the lack of a third party magician around kind of kills that chance. Not to mention if those where new pactios, the image would have been different, as well as the artifact (think Setsuna), and most likely they would have ended in failure.

He didn't make a contract with Nodoka and Natsumi, he took their artefact card so that they wouldn't use their artefact against him anymore.



That makes no sense, unless Fate isn't aware of how the Pactio works. With Negi present Nodoka and Natsumi don't need their Copy Cards as Negi can summon their artefacts with his Master Copy pactio card.



This do make sense because he took them before Negi came, to make them behave themselve while he was waiting him.

Even if Negi can summon their pactio card, I don't think Fate will let him give them back to their original user because in his current mindset, Fate think he is stronger than Negi.

And anyway, the thing is that taking their pactio card would give him less trouble, even if they get it back latter and it's free so why not do it? It would be stupid to let them have their pactio card only for themselve trying to find a way out when he was waiting Negi.



And we all knows that Negi will fight alone, Fate having their pactio card is convenient for him as he doesn't have to worry about Nodoka or Natsumi butting in trying to be a hero because this will be a dangerous fight.



Also what would make less sense is Natsumi and Nodoka making a pactio with Fate, as far as I heard you cannot force a pactio

Next chapter is going to rock. hard.

As far as I know, Negima is 3/4th through right now. So there's still some time left before the ending. And I don't think someone like Akamatsu would rush the ending, I mean, he did a perfect ending with Love Hina too!



According to forums on mangafox, there are at least two more major arcs after this arc. However this information may be slightly outdated, but as far as I know, the series is closer to being halfway done.

Not necessarily. Alberio has countless pactios and his image stayed the same throughout each one (remember way, way, way, way, way back to the School Tournament Arc). Besides, pactio formation isn't exactly special. Tertium (Fate) has five permanent pactios. I highly doubt that those were performed by a third party magician, especially considering how dangerous he is considered.



Nodoka clearly said that 'Even tough I can't read your mind now...' which means she doesn't have acces to her pactio card because it is the one in Fate's hand.



Before making a pactio with Nodoka and Natsumi, Fate would have make one with the girls that follow him which he didn't. One of the condition to make a pactio is to have a soul and Fate think himself as just a doll so I don't beleive he has the required mindset to do a proper pactio anyway, neither do he want since the whole thing was about having a fair fight with Negi.



I don't know why you even tough about this ridiculous, streched idea.

Gathering by how Nodoka was blushing, and that fact that Fate has pactio cards, means he made contracts with Nodoka and Natsumi. Good way to find out what artefacts they have...



Considering Negi and Asuna are now in the same place, I hope we finally get to see them fight together again for once.

Seems like there's gonna be a big fight very soon.  I just hope the series doesn't get rushed into an ending or anything, I feel like it might be going a bit too fast, but we'll see.



I liked Nodoka's talk, I really wonder how things are going to turn out after the fight.  Maybe they'll all end up having coffee together at Mahora, who knows :P
