Chap 459 - The Gathering  
"The Gathering"... kinda sounds like a coven meeting, doesn't it?


Catch up on previous chapters.

Srsly. I'm with Sess here. What is UP with the "can't kill the bad guy" stuff? Maybe this chapter? *reads ahead* nope.


Yay! Reunited at last!


Yay! Saved hanyou+lady butt. (note to viewers, this is where Sango's hiarakotsu slices through great balls 'o shouki being lobbed at our heros.) Hm.... They're looking rather serious.


Obligatory moment of levity from bubblegum!Shippou.


Hm.... more of that 'this doesnt' look good vibe." Last I check Miroku DIDN'T want to die - at least not enough to take Sango with him. And here they are together bumbling forward into death's very jaws.


Eep!


Love Kirara here. She looks downright bored. And where exactly IS that boomerang? Yay! Miroku is healing and the kazanna is closing! That must mean Naraku is on the way to being purified, right? (Isn't it funny how i combined these pictures by accident to make it look like Miroku is holding a giant sperm? Ok, I agree. That was really uncalled for, but I'm not going to delete it because I'm too tired and must forge forward or risk falling asleep...... onward ho!) *faceplants keyboard*



Du da duh duuuuuhhhhhhh! Big brother to the rescue! I guess. He's at least ripping through hunks of Naraku with more success at the moment than Inu.


Additional moment of humor, which Naraku appears to have NO appreciation for given the scary porcelian look on his face.


Ew.... *cue gian ripping sound* (i dont buy the SPX translation of "boof" for ripping large chunks of flesh asunder).


Cool picture. I hope they make a puzzle out of it!


Ah ha! the arrive-at-the-end-for-the-long-awaited-explanation shot.


It's so obvious that even Naraku appreciates the drama of the moment..... and Kagome... see's light? That's consistent with the healing Miroku's biggest hole. But with respect to her own Byakuya implant, I'm guessing that light is hers... and some of the darkness is now in her, lying dormant, awaiting orders.... bwahahahahaha.


So this week is one big set up for... a long speech by Naraku I'm guessing. Ok. If it helps us understand all this I'll be happy. 

Good night all. Have a great weekend. Spring is here! (in DC anyway).

Mr floating head,
wish you were dead,
but I'd miss the boy in red
and what would I do on Tuesday nights?

O sub-arc Queen
What havoc to glean
In all this scene -
RT, how long until you have to call it quits?

Kagome, what will await
Twisting on your plate
With Naraku's fate
Come on, where's next week's spoiler?

hey, don't go around Boofing my friends on my own snark post!

*laughs*

A puzzle! It'll keep us occupied once the series ends. I liked this chapter better but do you think we'll have like, three or four more of these, 'getting ready to roll people' chapters before the fighting starts? I'm actually looking forward to Naraku's long speech, here's hoping.
knittingknots: foxlady[info]knittingknots on April 12th, 2008 03:32 am (UTC)
Cellphone preview says Naraku's got a transformation up his sleeve...RT is a master at twisting where you expect a turning...

i'm betting he has several long speeches and i agree w/ Nelson, i'm looking forward to them

RT's got lot's os 'splainin to do
knittingknots: black fairy[info]knittingknots on April 12th, 2008 03:13 pm (UTC)
Somebody better do some 'splainin'...and what goody did Byakuya (may his name be forever mud for turning a continuation I'm plotting into a divergence) accomplish...so much to know, so many subarcs to cycle through....
Too Many Voices In My Head...: Kagome[info]alterfano on April 12th, 2008 04:22 pm (UTC)
srsly. kags seems completely oblivious to the fact that she may well carry the secret of their mutual destruction....

The Gathering: There can be only one.

Oops! Wrong fandom.

RT had me yelling at the screen when Miroku opened Kazaana. I was so relieved when it worked normally.
Too Many Voices In My Head...: Be Strong[info]alterfano on April 12th, 2008 03:04 pm (UTC)
i know, and it was almost too quick... i'm like "hey, you guys decided NOT to die together, din't you""

sorta a WTF? but it made sense and was a good way to show N weakening
knittingknots: black fairy[info]knittingknots on April 12th, 2008 03:10 pm (UTC)
It stopped hissing at him last chappie, I believe...and he told Sango, happily, that he could still fight....seems he was right...
Too Many Voices In My Head...: Magician - Miroku[info]alterfano on April 12th, 2008 04:23 pm (UTC)
that's true tho i don't suppose i got the full importance/meaning of it then.....

Saved hanyou+lady butt. (note to viewers, this is where Sango's hiarakotsu slices through great balls 'o shouki being lobbed at our heros.) Hm.... They're looking rather serious.

Honestly, I'd have snarked about the fact that Naraku's balls of shouki prove what I've been saying for months - Naraku's obsessed with his balls.

However, those shouki balls actually looked like giant, evil sperm!

Aimed at Kagome!

If Sango hadn't performed that timely little cull, would Naraku/Kagome fans have had a field day? It certainly brings into sharp focus all the "spurting" problems of previous chapters!

But then again, I find the idea of Sango boning Naraku to be... the wrong way around. Or just too icky in general.

Far. Too. Much. Snark. Fodder. This. Week.
Too Many Voices In My Head...: Snark![info]alterfano on April 13th, 2008 12:24 am (UTC)
well i often think i would find more snark if i didn't do this when i was dog tired...

i agree with you that those balls looked like sperm... flaming sperm to be exact... which as you say is just way too weird.

this whole chapter is such a set up to the big Naraku speech of D00m.... though i think it's still far from over. ah well, more snark to come! (heh)
zigsa[info]zigsa on April 13th, 2008 10:55 am (UTC)
Oh yes, I think the final battle is far from over yet. They're only just making it outside Naraku's body - which is where they need to be to even stand a chance of winning. And it's pretty clear that Naraku's bag of tricks isn't yet empty, so he's definitely not defeated yet.

We've still got a little way to go yet.

That page where they're all pictured together cracked me up though. The hanyou and humans all desperately scruffy and Sesshoumaru looking like he's just stepped out of a beauty parlour.

"This Sesshoumaru will defeat that Naraku bastard with style or not at all!"
