Luego de la batalla de Arthur y Dragon mi estado actual es: líquido. 🥲😭

5/5 Stars (%91/100)

I really liked the whole book. The great fight between Dragon and Arthur finally comes to an end. Despite being super absurd, it was one of the best and enjoyable fights I've ever read. Our main boy Shinra comes back as well. I also liked that Kurono is getting more screen time. The doppelgangers continue to appear and the cataclysm is still there. I'm curious about the new doppelgangers and how our heroes are going to handle all of this apocalyptic situation. I'm sure we'll lose a couple of people but the series is coming to an end, I can feel it.

ok i’m back on board with this doppelgänger shit after the idea that they’re the manifestation of how the world sees you but it is ironic that the author wrote “is this how people see me… it’s like some kind of homicidal maniac written by a third-rate screenwriter…” when his characters are coming off as third-rate. i want to be so much more invested than i am cuz everyone is flying in and out of the story so easily & shō did a complete 180. some more depth & development was all i needed

Arthur vs. Dragon was 10/10 PHENOMENAL!!

[Gabriele Camer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Disegni per ora di un livello nettamente superiore al resto del opera
Scontro tra arthir e dragon fotonico, ma arthir si salverà??
Torna shinra, che si risveglia , ma le altre colonne???
Fairy muore e si porta dietro altri doppleganger
Kurono (impiegato sadico) sconfigge il primo di loro , e si prepara a ciò che sta per succedere

As good as it is absurd.

The first half was AMAZING! The fight between Arthur and Dragon comes to an end and it's probably my favourite fight from the whole manga. The art was incredibly well done, i loved the attention to details and some of the panels were more than beautiful. The second half good but it fell short compared to the first one, i would've loved for volume 31 to be all about Arthur and Dragon. Still, good story development and i wasn't expecting what happened at the end, i loved it.

Arthur still my favourite character and this volume shows (once again) why. Also, Benimaru is here and that's always good news for me.

Overall: I could've given this 5 stars but the second half of the volume, though not bad at all, wasn't as good.

[Timothy Pitkin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ending of the Arthur and Dragon fight is also really ridiculous but the real show was seeing Shinra and Sho fighting along side each other. It is so heartwarming seeing them standing side to side and helping each other. Also some really great foreshadowing of what the next round of fights will be as the White Clads summon new Doppelgangers to the real world. I do like that the focus is not really about survival but keeping hope alive as it fits with the themes going with humanities collective unconscious and the power of symbols.

[The Book Dragon · Rating 3 out of 5]

The conclusion of the Arthur vs. Dragon fight that defies reality and is mostly them flying around through space.

Then Shinra wakes up and we're back to averting the apocalypse as more doppelgangers appear.

At this point, I'm just raising my hands in the air as we finish out this rollercoaster ride.

This series has 34 volumes.

Combattimenti sempre più assurdi...la luna a poche centinaia di metri dalla terra? Normalissimo...dovrebbe esserci uno tsunami come minimo no? Niente invece....ma dopotutto Arthur ha un anello che gli fa respirare nello spazio XD! Cosa vuoi che sia la scienza?

❗️3.5/5🌟

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the sign that the story already mature enough is... the conversation became less and less and only action here 😅

4.6/5 ⭐️

[Catherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

The closer and closer we get to the end, the more and more I’m convinced this is a prequel to Soul Eater.

Also, Arthur?

[Siegfried · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final of Dragon vs Arthur is so full of psychological and philosophic points that's absolute gold.
Also the end withy the first fight vs doppelgangers is amazing.
The Shinigami shine on

4/5: still confused @ what's going on but digging the vibe

[Rayvone · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great conclusion to the fight between Arthur and Dragon. I love how serious and goofy the series can be.

4.5 arthur vs dragon is gonna be so beautiful when it gets animated

[Prab · Rating 5 out of 5]

Arthur wasn't my favorite character but the fight was epic! A bit absurd but I'm glad he had good screentime.

[Tre'Sean Broyles · Rating 5 out of 5]

Arthur and Dragon go to space to continue their fight because it will be destroyed if they stay on earth. After a long battle, Arthur finally wins. The book was able to keep me wanting to read more and more to find out what happens. I really enjoyed this volume because it shows Arthur's character development from the first volume."And so he endeavors to enjoy such a thing as death. (Ohkubo 52)
I'd really recommend the Fire Force Series because even though it's a manga it's still able to display strong emotion and meaning behind it.

9/10 Arthur’s face to face with Dragon in space continues. In order to save the world Arthur must defeat dragon because dragon contains a lot of despair for not fearing death at all because of his power. Arthur uses all his power to defeat dragon causing his despair to turn into hope. The defeat of dragon creates a burst through the earth that seemingly split it in half, but the Cataclysm comes to a halt. All the Adolla pillars are set free including shinra and his brother Sho. They meet up and decide they will be the ones to save the world by ending this cataclysm and they both will be heros. Sho goes to take on his former cataclysm execution specialist force members. Faerie summons his team when he realizes he can’t take on sho and he’s about to die after sho stabbed him, the whole cataclysm force off’s themselves in order to summon doppelgängers of “world builders and strong warriors” Benimaru Shinmon already sensed his doppelgänger is going to arrive soon, so he has been preparing himself mentally to face himself. Akasa will need him. After the doppelgängers start reigning down, the first to come face to face with their real self is Kurono. Kurono comes to save Nataku from his doppelgänger. While faces evil Kurono, Kurono tells him that he wants to take spot but he can never be him because he’s just a corporate slave, the doppelganger wants more and to have his own power. And wants to bully everyone, the real Kurono only bullies people when given permission by his superiors and if he over does it, he blames his superiors. He also tells his evil self because he’s a work slave he also has a team of people to help him. And they all end up defeating evil Kurono.
