Hello and welcome to another DHK’s review blog, sorry for the delay I been a little busy with stuff.

Chapter 98: Nasu Squad: Part 3

We begin the chapter with Kirie repeating Hyuse line he said last chapter. She then knock Hyuse on the head for saying something that was very obvious and not saying anything smart. She give him a noogie and remind him of the situation he is in now. Yotaro time in and say all that matters is that Osamu’s alive and everything else is in the past, Kirie come over and chop him on the head for trying to be a big shot.

Hyuse time in and say get to the point already, if you want information interrogate or torture me. Takumi reply that they don't want to do that. It’s exhausting for both parties. Yotaro time in and say you want to be tortured? You'd enjoy it. Takumi continue saying prisoners should be treated with respect and it may make trades for our own agents easier. Kirie time in say didn’t the Neighbors leave him behind and is he even worth anything to them? Kyosuke say he’s smart and talented and he a elite fight that what Jin said. Kirie is impress and Hyuse smile, but Kuosuke then say it not true and he made it up. He was trying to lighten the mood, he then say enough chit chat and let’s keep watching the match.

We cut back to the triple threat between Yuma, Yuko and Ko. Kei say it be tough for Yuko to go against two aces and suggest she should bail out or run away are both good choices. Jin time in and say she can still earn points. Nasu Squad have one more person on that side.

We then go to Yuko telling Akane not to fire yet, and wait until it counts. Mikami questions why Akane haven’t fire yet, Kei time in and say both Yuma and Ko are waiting for her to fire to quickly end the battle on their side. We then go to the tripe threat both Ko and Yuko are aiming at Yuma on both sides. Yuma quickly block and dodge both attacks but his right arm is taken out. Akane fire at Yuma, but Yuma was able to use a Grasshopper to dodge the shoot. He then make a dash for Akane, Yuko tells Akane to bail out. But Akane refuse to and continue shooting Yuma. At the play-by-play Mikami explain that Akane can bail out if there no enemies within 60 meter and Yuma is now within the 60 meter radius and she choose to face him head on.

Akane then fire two shots at two Meteors near Yuma, they explode two buildings sending debris all over the place. She then switch to a Ibis and prepared to fire at Yuma on sight. She then see Yuma’s right arm coming out of the debris but it a decoy, Yuma quickly finish Akane off and that is the ending of the chapter.

My Thoughts

I really enjoy this chapter (man, I sound like a broken record) I like the first scene with Hyuse and Tamakoma Branch. I like how Kirie take away Hyuse coolness by pointing out he isn’t really saying anything, I so tried of the bad boys getting a free pass and never the butt of any joke (I’m looking at you Sasuke). It really put a smile on my face. I also dig Tamakoma Branch policy on treating prisoners with respect and not dehumanized (even though Hyuse isn’t human.

Akane shine in this chapter, I like how she didn’t give up even though she have a little to no chance of surviving against Yuma. I like how prepared she was with all the traps and switching Lightning to Ibis was pretty cool. I sad to see her bail out, I was hoping she would take out someone.

Yuma was pretty crazy in this chapter, I love the part where he dodge both Ko and Yuko attacks. He really is his Squad Ace. Now I want to see Rei, Yuma and Ko throw down, that would be a interesting fight to see. The only thing I didn’t like is Akane being taken out so soon and the title of the chapter.

Rating

I’ll give this chapter a 4/5
