Chapter 88 is up
Notes as I come across them:
- Tunniel! Mari and Go-Kun's sparring partner from the Rebuild films makes a...significantly less impressive showing here. But then, he did get aced by...
- The Mark-09. Last I checked, Spencer's backed up in this thing's head, which certainly is ominous given he was...well, dead. And so is Kihl. Supposedly. Also, I noted it before and still do, but I don't recognize the design for this one. One of the Anima variation Eva designs, possibly?
- The real reason behind Naoko going batshit is revealed....maybe. This fits in a bit more smoothly, but something still seems off about it. Maybe because Yui's been the type to lie by omission before, anything regarding Naoko's death seems rather suspect.
- Zeruel. Who, while not as powerful as he used to be, is still pretty dangerous to be in the same room with. But given what he and Katsuhito are talking about, I have to wonder if Katsuhito saw the same thing that Shinji did, with the last gasps of ADAM and Lilith facing off. His last words in the scene are ominous. Especially given Junior's words in the Season 4 trailer. "Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope." If "because it doesn't matter" doesn't sound like despair...
- Asuka and Pietr continue to be a source of WAFFy contrast to the Ikaris. Though that may just be in comparison to...
- The Ree, and their attendant madness. Poor Sachiel still gets no respect, even if he's been dead for 87 chapters.

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
