Deus ex machina end for the arc.

Go fuck your sexy waifu akamatsu... negima turned incredibly stupid in the last 10 chapters...



How was there any deus ex machina when it was said like before the half of this arc that Asuna could do that.

She haven't solved the reason why Fate tried to destroy the world, she've only stopped the destruction that Fate brought and returned it to how it was before Fate started his plan. The world will still end in about 9 years.

...and then Star Wars style celebration....all's well that end's well....blah, blah, blah..



Haha! I actually didn't mind the ending! I got total star wars vibes in my head too, to the point of hearing the victory theme music that plays at the end of A New Hope, then giggled when I thought of Asuna growling like chewie!



Ending was a little rushed, but I figured Akamatsu was getting bored of what he's written himself into and just wanted to start something fresh. You can tell from reading the series that he had real fun writing and drawing the mahora festival arc, and it'd be good if he got back to something that fun!

This is how it's going to end? Seriously? Well, I'm happy it finally ended, but I'm still dissatisfied.

I wonder how'll the film will take it, since apparently it's going to be different from this walk of fame ending.

Ok chapter, too much celebration, so little talk.



I might have missed something here but if Fate and his buddies knew about Asuna's power to "save the world" why couldn't they have her do that in the first place :\.

I really think we're underplaying the long-term consequences that going public will have for Negi and the gang.



Don't know why everyone feels this was rushed either. We all knew from the moment this mission started that it would end the moment they got Asuna and the key. They set this up quite nicely so that this final mission was really less the end of the previous arc and more the beginning of the upcoming one.



Think of it this way. Pretend like the arc ended the moment Negi unraveled the mysteries of the world and this has all been the beginning of his journey to save the world from its' inevitable fate. Goes through some inner turmoil, comes up with his plan. Step one is dissuade the people who are using other means to deal with this, rescue his friend, and recruit some help along the way. Now that he's gotten that out of the way he can get down to business with the whole preventing the apocalypse thing.



Really ever since that revelation there have been bigger concerns than the return of Ala Rubra's old foes. It's part of the continuing coming of age story that is Negi separating himself from his father. Nagi was just concerned with the immediate threat of the alleged bad guys. Negi's actually concerned with the same problem as the villains, but sets about coming up with a more productive solution. Whereas Nagi's goal was to take out the baddies, Negi has the same goal as the villains with disagreement in methodology that needs to be overcome.



These guys were the final boss for Nagi, but they were never so for Negi. For Negi these are allies in the making or competition at the worst, but ultimately a much smaller concern. Negi's a big picture kind of guy. In many ways he's already surpassed his father.

becuase that was not their original mission. also she didn't "save" the world. she merely restored all the people and animals that were destroyed. although the fact that she can do this was not explained. what she is has not been explained either. they still need to solve the issue that the magical world is on the road to collapse. that whole fight was between fate and Negi where negi was trying to convince fate that there is another way rather than destroying everyone and putting them in an illusionary garden of Eden.

Hm... so Negi's going public is he? Damn. That's gonna have some pretty far reaching implications and consequences.

She undid all the shit they erased and stopped their plot to end the world. Stopping the inevitable apocalypse they were trying to work their way around isn't in her abilities.



The general public doesn't know that the world is gonna end in nine years. They just know the world was ending right now and that's been undone.

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

                        mostly a walk of fame. the restoration of everyone and some celebration blah blah.



so the movie will have a different ending? i don't really care much i am just glad this has finally come to a close.



also madoka watched as yue celebrated with her new friends.....an interesting scene there.

Deus ex machina end for the arc.

I still hold my love for this manga, but i can see how it was lame. On the bright side at least it is about to pick up again?



I liked the fact that his dad has been 'found' and they set up the next arc well despite rushing the end.

That end well, I can't wait for next one !!

This ending felt like it was coming. Yada yada, next arc please!



Also, something that was on my mind: At first when Negi went to go look for his father and he had that map, wasn't his father there in that map, like below everything else? I can't find that page for the life of me, but nonetheless it would explain just a hair of Nagi's background if that was indeed him locked under the Mahora tree... If I could find that page...
