That was heavy talk. Made no lighter by the fact everybody's naked. Except that one local chick. I'm glad Princess Fanservice didn't simply accept Glenn's murder but started to question Koinzell's motives and righteousness. Hard to say how strongly Koinzell anymore believes in his cause or is he simply pushing forward because he decided to do so a long time ago and it's much too late to turn back at this point. Although Glenn might have been the least corrupt of the true betrayers anyway so there's not much reason to hold back anymore.
Is Princess Fanservice in love with Koinzell or something? Why does she insist that he make her believe in him? Maybe she idolized Ascherit, being a fellow sword user.
I am wondering why the new chick stopped the encounter. Is it possible that Koinzell was actually thinking of the people when he slayed Glenn? Or is it a side effect he was aware/unaware of?
Peace.
The Princess seems the kind of a person who needs to believe in justice, clear right and wrong. She saw back in that one town that the "heroes" can be quite corrupt and wicked and also saw how Koinzell tried to help the people (by stopping the "hero" and his forces). I reckon, once she decided to believe in Koinzell, she needs him to be all shiny and good. The problem arose from the fact she also believed Glenn to be doing good deeds. So, now she's quite desperate to find a valid reason why Koinzell is still good despite having killed Glenn. Yeah, she certainly idolized him.
A good question about Kveria's intentions. Quite clearly she knows something essential. Whether it's about Glenn or the general situation is a different thing. Or maybe even about Ascheriit himself.
Princess Fanservice Strikes Back:
Chapter 81 - Geisha (a link to the news post containing the link to the file)

It looks like Ato got finally too envious of Elseria's exclusive right to provide fanservice, and thus had no choice but to jump in - naked. Koinzell is of course too much of a gentleman to even mention the two ladies their beautiful states of lacking any garments. The "Kyaaaaa!" was pretty funny here - like borrowed from an entirely different kind of a manga just for that scene.
Kveria's revelation turned out to be quite mundane but not insignificant for sure. And of course is well tied to the fact she seems to know local history and especially the banished house Jebnaress.
Kveria's revelation should not be enough to change Elseria's view about Koinzell. Even if Glenn did cause the rift, it does not change the fact that the present Glenn that Koinzell killed was the one maintaining the peace, and that many people will die because of what Koinzell did.
If anything, I think looking at Koinzell's naked body for an extended period of time changed Elseria's mind the most.
She certainly seems to have a crush not on Ascherit, but Koinzell, since she chooses to believe in his goodness despite what he says about himself and his intentions. The way she said her feelings about Koinzell reminded me of a maiden that is waiting for an invitation to elope or something.
Peace.
That's true from a certain point of view but not entirely. The fact Glenn's death instantly drove the land to the brink of a civil war tells volumes about the stability of the "peace" Glenn created by defaming Jebnaress (or allowing it to be defamed for his own sake). I can't believe things were too nice even when Glenn was alive, even if no open battles were fought. The land needs a final solution that's more than one man. Glenn would have eventually died anyway, of old age. Koinzell might have sped things up a little bit but that's all, in the end, from the point of view of that country.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
Although I'm not saying staring at Koinzell's naked body and having her own checked out by him wouldn't have mattered as much to Elseria...
While what you said about the unstable peace is true, Elseria was explicitly focused on the fact that war broke out once again. She was not thinking about how it was unstable to begin with or that it would have to happen eventually for any real solution, or anything like that. Kveria's point should not affect her stand at all.
I guess standing naked and soaking wet outdoors cooled her head enough to think rationally.
Peace.
Chapter 82 - Geisha (a link to the news post containing the link to the file, like before.)
- - - - - - - -
Looks like my view of things got strenghtened. If Kfer hadn't been labeled a traitor and even if he hadn't come back personally, the country would have been peacefully ruled by his son. But instead the house Jebr was defamed and obliterated resulting in various lesser lords starting to fight for power. Glenn did nothing but put a (temporary) stop to the fighting. He didn't build a peace of any sort. So, in fact, he caused the civil war in the first place and failed to solve the issue afterwards. I don't think Koinzell's actions really did anything much to make the situation worse. I guess Princess Fanservice understood that herself and instead of sticking to blaming Koinzell, she left to try to get the lords to find a peaceful solution.
Looks like Glenn really did regret the past, symbolized by the monument. It also explains why he died so easily: He wanted to get executed for the great sin that was apparently weighing him down.
Chapter 83 - Geisha (a link to the news post containing the link to the file, like before. The archive is password protected, with "Hobby" as the pw, case sensitive.)
It looks like Geisha might be stopping to scanlate Ubel Blatt due to people mirroring the scans too soon for their liking. Honestly, quite a few scanlators try to dictate such rules, which makes me think they are using the Internet without realising they are using the Internet. They are pirating copyrighted works joyously and then bitch when others spread their works. Scanlators do hard work to produce the translations, but really, surely they don't think they are doing harder work than the original mangaka (and the manga team), whose work they pirate. It's just too funny in a sad way. I hope another scanlator picks it up. Again.
Just read 83, and it looks like we are in for an all out battle...
As for Geisha, well I really find it hilarious when all these groups complain about other sites hosting their releases. It's completely ridiculous.
Well, Geisha announced that they'll continue working on Übel Blatt, so no worries.

Yay… the Winter Break is finally here… and with it, comes a biiiig present from us at Noblesse Oblige…;p
Thank you for all your patient wait, as with the additional time during the breaks, we will be catching up on all the releases we have owed the fans…;p
Sadly, I have yet to restore communication with VJain… and thus the IRC channel will not be able to be updated until he returns. (as I do not know how…;p)
Also, I wish to thank Geisha Scanlations for releasing Ubel Blatt while this group was out cold… and keeping the fandom high…;p… Though I will be releasing UB Chapter 78-83 as well, since I do not agree with some of the translations, with how the song (which is very insightful IMO) was handled, with some minor errors in page order, and with the font…;p
On the side note, I will be continuing onto Ubel Blatt Vol10, as it has finally came out… The first chapter is full of names, and we get a huge showcase of all the upcoming characters: from the MANY sons of Lebront (He is VERY VERY promiscuous), to the military factions of Jebr, setting the stage for an unavoidable conflict to come…
Chapter 85 - YallaScans (Link to the news post containing dl links.)
Finally, Lebellond got a bit more interesting in this chapter... and I wonder what Lavaan's orders are, could go either way but seeing his sisters expression it might not be a good one.
86 also out:

Somehow I don't anymore feel that excited about Ubel Blatt releases. This chapter (86) was also kind of out there, with the Fangorn clone suddenly appearing out of nowhere and that strange King of the Forest that asks for cookies as a tribute. Smellls like losing the focus. But maybe, in the end, it was only some elements of the story, not the story itself, that made this series look so fresh and interesting in the beginning.
Just a handful of weak chapters as the story transitions itself. All go through it. I think the biggest problem has been the gap between releases. But yeah, I didn't care for this chapter, though I think thinks will pick-up once again once Koinzell arrives and more than anything when he and Ikfes face each other.
Here are 87-89, 89 is a good one. Even though we already had some speculation on it, it's good to have it out there. I wonder how this will end up:

Just started reading this two days ago. It's really good. When does 90 come out and how often do these chapters come out?
Worthless trying to figure out when they come out. They come out when someone decides to do them.
Anyways, here are chapters 90-92 + special:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KGZLNNY1
I thought they were pretty good, cliffhanger at the end.
Well .. this concludes Volume 10 (the last published Ubel Blatt volume) and leaves one more chapter before the end of a story arc. Just in case, last available ch is 98.
