Invoked: Bob is superpowered in his own right he shows his 'evil' side to gain credibility with a villainous group he means to infiltrate.Lampshaded: "Bob isn't here right now.".Enforced: Bob's actor wants to show more dramatic range.There's Evil Bob and Bobby, the evil ones, and there's Rob and Robby, the good ones. Zig Zagged: Bob has several personalities.The worst thing Evil Bob does is literally steal candy from a baby.Evil Bob is fond of twirling said mustache evilly. Bob grows a mustache when he becomes Evil Bob.Bob is completely dependent on this source if he wishes to be stronger than evil Bob, since evil Bob has greater inherent power. This is the result of Bob channeling power from an external source that does not function for evil Bob, since they do not have a sound mind.but was only being good because Bob was suppressing him.

When his evil side comes out, it's easy to use his full strength, as he doesn't care about collateral damage or killing his opponent anymore. Bob always has this much power, he's just not normally willing to use everything he's got.

Evil Bob only seems stronger because he's not holding back anymore.Bob's evil side turns out to be weaker than Bob's true potential.Evil Bob seems to be evil at first, but he's actually a nice guy.Evil Bob doesn't really exist, Bob only pretends to be him to throw off his foes.I'd much rather take this option or even the Eva curbstomp over defeat, but all paths are negative. The other way I'm thinking of is that they just kick the shit out of the Alba regardless of Eva's assistance, then retreat for no reason other than that the protagonists are required to survive by the plot, or, if the worst comes to the worst, they succeed in erasing the magical world, undoing every single goddamn thing they've ever done to prevent it, rendering their journey completely meaningless.Ī third route is that more reinforcements from Mahora will enter and the fight will be as even as it can get, and if Eva can teleport there, I don't see why such people as Albireo can't. With the small side-effect of Fate remaining dead, as well, but that happens either way. While this is possibly the better of the two directions I'm thinking of, this is still detrimental to the Alba, and makes the addition of all those extra characters completely pointless. Look at one direction this could go in: Eva kicks the asses of the minions, alongside Negi, or Asuna, either killing several of them or forcing them to retreat mere chapters after their return, while the Alba stand around and are inevitably incapacitated. With the bullshit of this chapter, it'd better one hell of a pleasing turn of events. You can picture him behind his drawing board, so excited because he'll be like Kishimoto, Toriyama, Kubo and Oda, telling himself he won't be seen as a Moe Harem author anymore, because damn, he means business, and he's going to be so loud and showy and exciting! He runs full speed towards a brick wall, but with a grin on his lips. The saddest part is, unlike Kubo, who clearly is on it only for the money and lulz, Akamatsu seems to still be doing it with a passion. It's like Negima becoming a half baked parody of the worst excesses of Shonen fights. It looks simply ridiculous, although nearly in the Tite Kubo So Bad, It's Good way. It's like Akamatsu is running out of fresh ideas and trying to distract by mashing it all together. Not only everything the good guys do is completely undone shortly after thanks to Villainous Plot Coupon, meaning maybe Tsukuyomi will get up next chapter and stab Setsuna, and the LM will take over Evangeline, but this is a hurried regurgitation of things we already saw, from the countdown ceremony to the enemies to Eva showing up. Honestly, at this point it's more like 'sad' than 'enraging'. Unless he really wants to kill the franchise SO BADLY, but I doubt Kodansha would let him to.

Not like they all can rush back to Earth in the supposed five minutes they still have, with the opponents not willing to let them go to foil them later.Īnd of course, you can't end up the anime movie like that, not when it's called Negima Final. Not to mention they kinda are stuck with the ship now. Also not exactly an incentive to check future arcs, since who says Akamatsu doesn't just do it all over again then? They certainly can't die but they can lose.Īfter 100+ chapters of buildup to, you know, saving the Magical World, losing all of a sudden is a very lame payoff. ^ Why can't they lose? Who says the magical world has to stay doomed? Maybe it all gets pulled into CE and Negi makes CE spit it back out again and return the place to normal.
