Manga/ The Promised Neverland

Yeah, it's pretty clear that the authors don't quite know what to do with him… But on the other hand, it would have been weird for Emma to be the sole remaining character of the main trio in the Goldy Pond arc… She would have been down in the dumps for sure.

In which Emma saves Norman. Ray, meanwhile, is also there.

More seriously, though, I'm... uncertain. This felt like a big shift in mood all of a sudden, especially in Norman, but for the story as a whole. We went from "things are serious and grim" to "with hope and goodness we can always win" with, like, no real basis to support that. But, let's see where this goes next. Maybe there'll be some new big twist by the end of the next chapter.

I mean, that's literally been Emma's entire spiel for the entire series. I'm actually at a lose for how someone can think this feels forced coming from her.

Nah, I expected Emma to go for it. I just expected it to take a bit more work to, well, work. She's got basically no evidence to back it up with, which feels a bit off for how the story has been up 'til now.

I mean, I expected Norman's whole plan to fail horribly, or at least get some serious issues, but the only setback was one of his lackeys getting killed.

Everything going so well just tells me that the search party will succeed in finding and destroying their hideout.

Because of how much this has gone perfectly for Norman. Honestly it feels rushed and I can't buy into it.

I'm expecting God Squiggly to pop up & reveal that he essentially planned all this to happen with Norman being nothing more than a pawn.

Honestly I hope Norman doesn't survive, because honestly he was too complicit in the slaughter of children for this plan to find him sympathetic. At least his followers I can understand because they've never even had the life Norman had till he was shoved in the lab, and we actually get a peek into Norman's head that he had thought of mass slaughter to save them all back then. It goes as far as to knowingly kill a girls father despite knowing their relationship and to consistently use those who are supposed to be his family as pawns.

Yverk died a pussy. I mean, he could have stabbed Cislo, made Zazie look back for a second, and then given the queen that split second she needed. Not that I'm rooting for him; I root for plot and realism. How does Yverk die to a teen who was good at tag?

Ray, please punch Norman in the gut for me. I hate liars. I don't care if he's dying of drug-induced seizures, he doesn't deserve a hug and a "you killed an entire royal line and lied to us about not almost killing the two people who could have stopped all this, but it's okay because you're our brother."

Anyway, on saving Norman, I'll cut to the chase: if a human drinks the evil blood, do they become an evil-blooded demon?

The fact his plan involved Gilan and his men killing children to invade the Palace and the scene outside that also threatens them, is where i'm more iffy at. Lying itself can serve a good purpose, but Normans lies have well, not really served any purpose but to show disregard for the ones he's supposed to consider family.

Yup as expected The Royal Army heading to their base and have an accurate idea of where they were was not part of the plan.

Also motherfu-Queen's not dead despite her eye being destroyed. Repeat she's alive and has no eyes! They must have seriously underestimated cursed blood and eating the best goods.

Ahahaha that last page!

I couldn't help but laugh.

Yeah there's no way Lewis is dead since his body disappeared from where he fell when Goldy Pond was destroyed.

Wait, it did?

Yes. You didn't know? They showed shots where they all died and he was missing from his. Granted its been awhile so not really surprising.

Huh well alright Lewis is coming back.

Very curious what this means.

It better be *Teleports behind Sister*

Lewis: Omae wa mou Shindeiru

Queen Sister: Nani!?

How da fuq she is still alive though?

…Huh, the flunkies are a lot more accepting of Norman's 180 than I expected.

Also, woops.

It seems like the Queen was strong enough that destroying her eyes didn't kill her. Instead, it seems to have reverted her to her original primal state.

Welp The big buff black haired guy saves Norman before the Queen can kill him, eats the guys leg, goes Akira in the throne room, growing the heads, limbs, and organs of every single person she's ever eaten including demons. Including SISTER KRONE, and it was all to make way for a faceless, Slenderwoman to emerge like exiting a cocoon.

Also Sungjoo tosses his arm into a degenerating demon after cutting it off to restore him, while Musica offers little demon kids her blood.

Huh, if royals possibly have two cores...

...Well that just confirms that Lewis is alive

20 bucks Slenderwoman is gonna have Isabella’s face.

I thought about that too. We'll have to learn what happened to her at some point. It'd loop the loop, so to speak.

It occurs to me that the whole mother system hasn’t been relevant for a very long time.
