Chapter 121 is now up. This finally concludes the three way fight that I started months ago. One piece of the fight still remains, but that is going to be pretty quick since Saki is there. About all I have is some character development that I need to address on a couple of characters before that happens. But overall, that little skirmish is coming to a close. I'll be introducing some new stuff as well to complicate matters even more than they already are. So you can look forward to that as well.

I hope I managed to finally give Yuki a pretty cool looking fight. It is pretty clear that once he has his powers on it is going to be difficult to stop him for normal people, even powered normal people. So it does mean that I get to show off Yuki in a really cool scene where he is just doing crazy stuff and dominating in a totally awesome manner.

I finally got to show of Yuki's brainy side for once. The intelligent side of Yuki does not really get displayed much since he is either fighting on emotions or was still getting used to his powers. The first time that you really got to see him doing creative things with his powers was where he was helping Haruo in the fight against the street punks. So having more chances to actually showcase it is very nice. I really wanted to have Yuki think his way out of situations more, since he is still technically an underdog when it comes to a powers fight. Sure he is powerful, but he doesn't have the same experience and training for control. So I wanted to back that up by him thinking through the fights and figuring out ways to use his powers to defeat his opponents smartly. Considering that goes completely against the stereotype of the main hero for a Shounen, that was specifically why I wanted to do. I've got Seiji to hold on to that mantle anyway.

This arc was going to be the big place where Yuki got to really make use of his intelligence. Since he will be going up against progressively stronger and more veteran opponents. He'll need to be smart. Plus, his powers actually work against the normal that is for shounen hero to power up and become stronger. Strong emotions and anger usually are the motivating factors or friendship, but all emotions will end up doing is actually weakening concentration. So he would actually become weaker and loss control of his powers, hense why the thing with Japan happened. So the only way he'll become stronger is being more creative and intelligent and improving his own concentration.

Additionally, this chapter has made be consider if I should write an omake that explains in more detail how the powers work. Because there is still a lot of things that I leave up to details without implicitly explaining to the reader. The story has reached a point where I can actually mostly explain the powers without ruining the surprise of something new. There are actually still quite a few surprises that I have in store for the powers that I plan to reveal in this arc, but the basics I can explain though. Let me know what you think.

Enjoy!
