I'm not sure I'm liking how this is turning out. Madoka's fighting style is beautiful, I particularly like how it seems so contrary to her character design and outward personality. It's very different from Vera, who looks like a princess character, and uses a fighting style where she never even touches her opponents most of the time. Madoka's is graceful, yet stunningly brutal.
The problem comes with Guesong. Madoka is now very clearly allied with Vera, who we were to believe was the "enemy" to Gangryong in a number of ways. Rud and pals are using him, but it seemed like Honse was a legitimate friend and ally. But Honse is allied with Guesong (or so it seems) against Vera's faction. Guesong is a complete psychopath. I really don't want to see Gangryong mixed up with that asshole.
In other words, I am completely at a loss in who we should be considering as, "the good guys." I want Madoka to win this fight, but it is starting to look like she will lose, and badly. That means Guesong and the Yardplay faction will soon become the strongest in the school, potentially unseating Vera. Gangryong's fighting style is becoming a lot more like Vera's Class of skills. Reunion is more divided by Classes of fighting styles, so that would tend to make him lean toward Vera and the other ki based skills.
In short, I am confused more than ever, and while not knowing if anyone here are "the good guys" is fairly innovative for a fighting series like this, it seems like Gangryong will soon be used by the worst of everyone we've met so far, even worse that the people who are trying to steal ETOL.
I think Madoka will do a come from behind win. She hasn't shown what she has prepared during the time Guesong gave her yet (assuming she has something, of course). Still, I would really like it if she gets beaten up, just because it will lead to a very interesting plot development.
Peace.
The implication is that Guesong's rediscovery of the lost part of Yardplay's traditional art will rock Reunion has been heavily discussed by Guesong, Lifewish, and the rest of the Yardplay faction. That's why they kept emphasizing Guesong is a genius or something like that.
There is more to it than the teleport thing he's been using against Madoka.
I think he may be overestimating himself, thinking that he has discovered the secret when he hasn't (yet). He might also be bluffing, trying to stir things up by pretending he has completed the technique. If it is neither, then Madoka will most likely lose simply because of an overwhelming technique.
Peace.

Hmm...well I suppose for now I was wrong. Guesong might still pull something out of his ass, so we can't be too sure.
Madoka is far more capable than Guesong's overconfidence made him seem, simply because she is still friendly with Vera and her underlings. Madoka isn't stupid at all (that was obvious from before), she does her research, and probably more than anyone else we've seen so far. She's been away, so the first thing she does is talk to Shinra and get caught up. Clever.
Loved her line in the last panel of page 17. What a sexy taunt.

Quite the interesting revalation that Vera has recieved no artificial ki since the incident with Lightning Tiger. While natural medicine has increased her own ki back up to 30 years, that means she is using pure, refined ki, just like Gangryong. So if anything, Lightning Tiger did Vera a huge favor if she figured out how much stronger her arts are with purified ki.
Who was Vera's first? It can't be lightning tiger, can it?
Or was it mentioned and I am just being forgetful?
Peace.

Finally caught up. I thought the Madoka fight dragged on for a bit. I really hated Guesong, so I'm glad Vera finished him off. I really hate that group that is surrounding Gangryong, except for Honse...
I still don't understand how Honse could still be allied to Guesong.
It seems like he holds more of a grudge towards Vera and her allies than he does towards Guesong and the others that participated.Originally Posted by Munsu
It looks more and more like Vera isn't really the villain of the series, but I suspect the truth of the matter is that everyone is. Each and every factions wants something, and they seem more than content to go to rather ruthless and underhanded means to get it. Perhaps the only reason any of them approach Gangryong at all is because he's an unaffiliated quantity. He's a distraction to Vera/Shinra/Madoka, a novelty to LifeWish/Guesong/Honse, and an opportunity to Fire Tiger/Rud.
Here's 48 from a new group called Neo-X Subs... don't know if they are any good:http://media5.mangahelpers.com/downl.../Veritas48.zip
If anyone checks them out before I do, let me know how they are. I hope there's at least some consistency between the terms. Though HZ has released at a fairly good pace.
Edit: Saw a couple of pages, and thought they were overleveled by quite a bit. I going to wait for HZ for the time being.

Well, right on queue, HZ released chapter 48. The forums seem to be down at the moment so I can't get a direct download for it. If any of you manage to get one, hook me up.
Free Fist Style countering? Is that what Vera is using now right? Even if they manage to pull Gangryong to a level to fight Vera with a close to perfect EOTL, I don't think he'll be able to beat her Heavens Riches Class martial art.

I liked the latest two chapters, since it brought quite a bit if information of the dealings of the top level guys. And Madoka waiting drunk for Gangryong... looking forward for chapter 50. Any of you wish that Gangryong, Madoka, and Honse would simply form their own faction?
Hmm, it's a little confusing for me. So Vera is the leader of the Heaven's Riches Class, or more so a successor to her sister. Then what exactly is the chariman Fire Dragon? Why does he want Vera out of the way? What were Vera's intentions in talking to the elders? Where does Hayato come into play?
What I do know is that Rud wants revenge for his friend killed by the Iron Skin dude so he is in cahoots with Fire Dragon. Guesong was upset over having to damage Honse's Ki channels because he was a threat to Vera and Vera felt no guilt. Madoka just wants everyone to be happy.
I'm pretty much as confused as you are. I'm sure everything will click for me at some point.
I'll take a stab.
Fire Dragon wants to steal ETOL. I wonder if the reason is so that he can put it into the Reunion curriculum. The irony is that because of Reunion's methods of artificial ki, ETOL would be completely worthless. This assumes that he is part of the faction that is against Traditional Arts. Yardplay, and Hayato is a part of that Traditional Arts element.
Vera stands somewhere in the middle. The Heaven's Riches class of Traditional Arts (which includes ETOL) would have her certainly against Reunion, but she attempts to bring some form of order to the school. On the other hand, it appears that she is determined to stay at the top because it will be a means to rise above her sister's reputation. Her friends keep her at the top as a means of maintaining order in the school. If she wasn't at the top, there may be a continual string of deaths for the leading position, as what nearly happened to her.
Vera also apparently has a crush on Lightning Tiger. He defeated her, and she respects him, but seems to also have lingering feelings for him, which may or may not now be transferring over to Gangryong as his successor. A bit of a stretch, but there were a few panels where Vera was in the shower thinking of it, and where she reminisces about her scar.
Madoka wants everyone to be friends, but she is still fiercely loyal to Vera.
