2. She is in a very important place. - I prefer not to say the place. In this case, she won't appear for the next chapters. Only many chapters after Negi's team is united.

no! she has an important part of the story!

[Betong Åsna]

Important? Don't be daft, she's expendable. Still, I don't think they will kill her off at this stage. Negi would at least have to talk to her again before she dies, or else the romantic effect would be lost.

I like the second theory about where Anya is. In all likeliness she is somewhere important plot wise, maybe already in Ostia.

I don't think though she is expendable nor do I think Akamatsu will kill her off. It would not be like Akamatsu to kill any supporting character, he hasn't done so before to my knowledge (with the possible exception of Gateau, and even his "death" is not totally 100% confirmed), nor will he start now. I could see Akamatsu "killing" a major villan like Fate but not Anya.

Besides this is a mainly a drama/comedy, character death does not really fit with this particular author. Oh yeah and if by "kill" you mean get remove from the story (non death wise) then yes Anya could just dissapear.

killing one of the lead characters, is bad for something like negima, remember it is action/comedy, and killing a lead char (well anya is not really lead, but she is friends with the main char, negi) is to dark for the story, and thus the comedy elements of negima will be reduced, it is not a good thing.

[susano]

Anya's current whereabouts are unknown. She could be either

(1} with Takamchi, Mana, and Donnet.

(2) Back on Earth

(3) with the Mystery Member

If Anya is with the Mystery Member, it can help explain why her location has not been disclosed yet. It is slowly turning out that the Mystery Member is a more important character. What we know about MM is that he is a mage like Nagi and Al, and the two dimple on his cheeks.

[Sabre2552]

Noo!!! "Collecting information"??? I feel that's just an excuse to have a week off... Why can he "collect information" every few weeks or so, while at school if I were to say something like that I'd be *****-slapped?

Eddo!!! I just got back from a trip

I think that Anya will be "forced" into a pactio, or she gets really evil, but not die...

[GSDAkatsuki]

OMGAWD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?

Anyways I thought 220 was nothing special, but I suppose it should be since it is jsut a preparation episode ofr the exciting half of the arc.

I thought water dropping off a cliff in a town called Niagra was disapointing, and I came up with a slogan, "Everyone hates Marineland" ».«

Sry off topic...

If Anya gets a pactio, what would be the artifact??

[Pseudonym]

a_s: Long time no see. It seems that there are some interesting portions of this chapter, eh?

[stormseeker]

^ yeah, more or less, but still one week until the spoilers and raws, yup we are gonna suffer on lack of posts, this thread will rot, but still all we can do is argue about somethings and post random crackpot theories

[Pseudonym]

Yap. Maybe we neednegi_rules to keep the boards alive. Lolz. Just finished reading the scanlated 220. Enjoyed it.

[stormseeker]

yeah, most of his post bring violent reactions to some members here, him being a die hard nodoka fanboy

like yue's maybe

[stormseeker]

^ not a chance, her personality is different from yue, from what we have seen so far, the artifact is connected to the ministra.

[a_squirrel]

... any spoilers? Expected release???

[negi_rules10]

yeah! me want spoiler!

[stormseeker]

none yet, up until now, you got to wait at least 4-5 days (almost 1 week or 1 week) until you can see any spoilers, its break week remember? no chap this week chap 221 will be released on july 30 (on japan), and from what we experienced so far raws will be released on the web a day after the chapter is released in japan so, the raws might get released on july 31 in the web.
