Try reading the chapter while listening to "Michael White - Try to Survive" or "Crazyx, Drage - War of Gods"

This current story arc is shaping up to pretty much being "The strange case of Dr. Hoaquin and Mr. White" or something along those lines, isn't it?

I don't want to jump the gun, but I think we're settling into classic SIU.

Spoiler

NANNA NANNA NANNA NANNA NANNA NANNA NANNA NANNA

YURIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

If that were Yuri up in the chair then Hoaqin and all his allies would already be smashed into paste and Baam would be slung over a shoulder getting dragged away to the nearest hotel right now. It's probably not her.

[Mr. Alien]

Either the Thorn or Ryun through Guide telepathy, like the one Evan showed back in the Submerged Fish.

 

Then seeing Bam's reaction its probably Ryun

Who knows, she might want a date first.

[Augusgus]

Interesting that this apparent Hoaqin #2 was not sealed like Hoaqin #1. Maybe because he is not so much a psycho but rather an arrogant ass like Koon?

Any guess on who the guy could be that stopped the fight between them? A High Ranker?

Also, the person in the chair seems to have a brown moustache

I don't see why so many people want Yuri and Baam to meet again. To be honest, I don't see why she's so obsessed with him. She talked to him for a whole five minutes.

I like the idea that Hoaqin is one of White's fragments and joining together with the other fragments (like the one Wangnan and Yihwa just met) is the way to resurrect. It would be really interesting if that actually happened and we have a High Ranker showdown for once. I guess everything is pointing in that direction now that the Director appeared and that we are all expecting Yuri to show up at some point.

Because he's Baam. Honestly, it doesn't seem to be a lot more complex than that. He's won over other people within the same amount of time.

Current theory; There are five shards of Hoaquin, one for each letter of his true name "White".

So far we've only seen "H"oaquin, leaving us with other four, each with an exaggerated part of his personality.

This one is the scholar/gentleman. I assume he's "E".

So there's no Joaquin?

And was that conductor sleeping all this time when Rachel and co. stole the train?

Or did he just not give a damn? And if so, why does he now?

I doubt we'll get that, if Poken or Karaka waiting somewhere, then Yuri might deal those, and we may never see complete Hoaqin because the reason he was made this weak might be to match Baam.

I don't see why so many people want Yuri and Baam to meet again.

But, to answer this question properly for myself. I want her to meet Baam again because she's one of the very few people who possesses both the will and the ability to actually pull him out of the FUG sinkhole that he doesn't seem able to escape on his own. Mazino is potentially another, but exactly how far he would be willing to go for the kid is a lot dicier than it is with Yuri. I very much want to see Baam turn the page to a new chapter of his story.

She can't really do anything. She's a princess of zahard. What will happen when someone finds out she's helping a slayer candidate who just happens to be an irregular.

Besides FUG isn't going anywhere, SIU already said that they're going to be here for the long run.

Well, I gave him the title of Jekyll, so there's your reference to Joaquin.

It's not like he didn't know where the train was going to be next.

I mean, it's a train. Even if it can fly, it really doesn't have many places to go other than from point A to point B.

It's not really something to make a fuss out of.

She's securing an asset for the empire by depriving FUG their only means of ever claiming the throne from his majesty.

Then I'm just going to have to hope he changes his mind on that point. This particular plot thread has already been stale for real-time years. There are so many other people to meet and groups to explore.

[death2boredom]

So its not really a sword technique but a Shinsoo technique huh. The ability to manipulate a certain area of space at will would be an interesting ability, its sort of like a weird psychic ability.

 

The train director's eyes look like a typical cyborg eye, guess he/she is actually a part of the train itself. Along with that ability to simply move ticketers to wherever they want to I can see why Hoaquin would have trouble on his own if he has to go through the director.

[salvatore]

Fug guys use this phrase ''i wonder how will the guys above or send you will react'' a lot.

 

Reflejjo to Baam when he was tied up.

Hwa Ryun to Reflejjo when she was distracting him.

And now Hoaqin.

[Grincourt]

Will the RED see it like that ? I highly doubt it. To them they'll see it as treason. She already could've got in trouble if it was proven that she helped Anak but an irregular slayer would be ten time worse.

Besides do to really think they'll let him stay alive ?

[Lester]

And also one that Baam can potentially hijack and turn against Hoaqin with the Thorn, if what we saw it do against Reflejo is any indication. But, if it is a shinsoo skill, then how is it damaging Baam at all? Is his ridiculous, Yuri Zahard-class shinsoo resistance just something that SIU forgets about whenever it suits his purposes?

[101010]

I just don't see how else the story could progress. Now that the Director has summoned them, he will either interfere or he will leave them to their devices which will eventually progress into White resurrecting. Why? Because Baam and co stand no chance against more than one shard.
