Sekirei Chapter 120 Discussion

First, here is more info on chapter 120:
The Disciplinary Squad was not on the cruiser ship and are heading to a mission of their own. Higa also not participating hatches a plan of his own with supporter(s) on the ship targeting Minato in exchange of safe passage out of Teito once they had accomplished their mission.
Minaka announces that this Battle Royal treasure hunt will be the last game for third stage and Karasuba mutters that the end is near.
My guess is that Higa had headed towards the lodging house and the Disciplinary Squad is headed to annihilate Higa's Sekirei to retrieve the stolen Jinki.
And here are some pictures:

BUT, Minaka is also saying that at ANYTIME, you can STOP working with the person you worked with, and their name will LITERALLY disappear from your "partner" list on your cellphone. So basically you can betray your team and get them all for yourself.
Apparently your guess was wrong - all names of the combatants (the Sekirei) that officially boarded the ship are displayed on the back of the boarding passes and everytime one is terminated the name vanishes from that list.

I'm tired of A-Team plastering shit all over the pages. They don't even own the rights to the manga! As far as I know, A-Team (more like ass-team) isn't in charge of how the manga should be distributed. If they really want action taken, then they should talk about it with the creator herself.
OK - This attitude is pissing me off. This is no official distribution! If you want a clean version either go buy the manga yourself or make a scanlation on your own. You are in no position to demand anything from A-Team. They are fellow fans - kind enough to translate it for us.
And for the issue of watermarking their releases - it is a hell lot of a work to scanlate a project
- so it is understandable to want to control its distribution to a certain level (especially if its about online readers).
[My personal standpoint --> I am as disillusioned enought to see the futility in trying to fight it <-- is a whole other matter]
post scriptum: If it is only about clean scans - until now the guys at A-Team were kind enough to redo their scans after the tankoubon raws were out - so just wait patiently.

I'm fine with them putting their name on the side of pages and having credit pages. I just hate having the beautiful artwork messed up just because they don't like someone.
If A-Team hosted their own online reader, I honestly be more than happy to read from them. I happen to have a slow download speed and would prefer to have each page load one at a time while I read it, instead of having to wait a long time for the whole thing to download.
I understand your point - but try to understand the scanlating groups - they have absoltely no control over their releases on the online readers.
These aggregator sites don't bother about the groups policies - for example if the manga is officially published - it is impossible for them to take it down on their own (but there are cases where scanlators were sued for their releases on online readers).
On some readers they aren't even credited for their work and then most people miss that scanlating actually costs money (the rawprovider buying the manga - costs for setting up a server - maintenance, etc.). So it is reasonable to at least get a little back via clicks on their sites.
Also if you are reading it online - you cant expect to get top-quality - compressing the images to unreasonable (and sometimes unreadable) qualities and watermarking is standard procedure.
And setting up an online-reader for their releases costs additional bandwith, it has to be allowed in the policies of their server provider, and it doesn't prevent these mentioned sites to take their releases.
BTW - I think we are way off topic with this - especially here on MAL.

Yea it was off, but it still kinda goes with whats really there. You apparently CAN still team up and do it however you want, all that matter is who has the jinki at the end.
Yeah and Minatos Team seems to be set in stone.
But I am really anticipating what plans he has made (he is becoming more and more competent these days) - the only problem would be Yukari especially after Minato separating from Seo and Sanada.
Also Higa seems to be on the move (I hate this guy - damn he made passes at sweet Yukari) - though I suspect that it is something other than the battle he is after and Karasuba and Co. are probably not only there for cleaning after time is up (I expect Karasuba to have her own share of fun at this party).
All in all - the tension is rising and I want the next chapter now ^^

Agree with all of that....especially the Higa part....I can't wait for him to get his fucking neck snapped....god knows he deserves it.
And I love that it seems we have a firm new superteam, and their personalities will really make it work well from both a story and comedy point of view. At this point, if you start conflict with Minato x Seo x Sanada, you pretty much are screwed unless you are the DP squad, and even if you ARE them, you should be scared lol.
@Explicitz
It really is....out of all people, you take orders from the scum of scum...it really is sad, and Seo is making sure they will pay for it.
