I'm ecstatic about Tiki and Rhode too!
When I first read it, I was afraid it might be a flashback to quite some time ago, but I guess it isn't.
I'm glad Tiki is still hot. I thought he'd remain in the horrible form that he took after the fight with Allen, but thankfully he has a new 'human' form as well. I don't know if I think he is as hot as before, but I haven't decided yet. I think I'm prejudiced toward the old Tiki since that's how I've known him. I'll need more time to form a neutral opinion of hotness. ^_^;
BUT RHODE IS BACK! WHOO! It was from a distance, but she seemed to look even cooler than she did before (and I'm glad she is still eating candy). I wonder who that was with her.
Are we 100% sure that the scene with the Noahs wasn't a flashback?
As for the 'crystal' Innocence evolution: I'm proud of Lenalee for having developed her Innocence further. I know Elder-Bookman said he didn't want Lavi's Innocence to evolve and that then they'd have to leave, but I hope it does evolve, and Lavi insist that they stay to fight.
I'm still not 100% convinced that Lenalee's Innocence isn't parasitic. I know it isn't tied to her body, and hasn't restructured part of her cells, but it draws power from her, and her blood is essential to its functioning. So, I think it is still somewhat parasitic, but not in the same way Allen's is. I bet they're going to reveal something more with her Innocence and that what we've been told will turn out not to be entirely true. |
