Is there a single location in any country in the world populated primarily by people who can drive properly? I am beginning to think the answer is no.

nice chapter and damn koon ran

[Lester]

Not enough Rice Pot, way too much Ran.

[Bryanky]

I can't be the only one that misses Ran and Novick's partnership in combat.

Their tactics against Baam were actually refreshing and nice to watch.

Now Novick just stands there and Ran does his thing.

[101010]

Ran really doesn't care, does he? He just goes all in and whatever happens, happens.

[Grincourt]

Doesn't seem like much happened this chapter.

I'll flip a table if Kaiser turns out to be fug

[Lightprayer]

I wish I cared about Ran.

[Theris]

I hope this chapter at least explains why people bother to hunt names. I certainly don't care about Ran being able to do a bigger Espada de la Luz.

You know he's going to be one. You're just seeking an excuse to flip a table.

[Lester]

I wish I cared about Ran.

Why would you wish for that? Ran's a lame poser. It's best not to care about him.

[Shess]

deciding whether or not i should re-watch Hxh 2011 for the 3rd time...

I don't have nothing against Ran. It was a good chapter to me. I'm curious about if the first scenes are a good bye between Baam and his mates.

and I bet Kaiser is the guy/girl in the last panel, not the one figthing Ran

[Lester]

I'm curious about if the first scenes are a good bye between Baam and his mates.

Not really a goodbye, but Baam is going by himself. He says he'll be back in time to make the next stop, but I don't think so and I hope not. There's nothing impressive about him beating Kaiser, compared to some of the things he's already done.

[BehindTheLighT]

i bet Koon tried to talk baam in not go back to the rice pot

Agree. After all Baam defeated Hoaqin which at least in theory is more dangerous and powerful than the top D rank-regulars. Anyhow, it seems this Kaiser is the one Yuri was talking about when she said he/she would be a good match to test Baam. So it's better to forget about power levels consistency and enjoy the fights.

[Grincourt]

You've got me. But what can I say ? I don't get to flip tables often

[Fairy King Harlequin]

I'm starting to hate Ran less and less.  He actually kills people.  Better than Baam who watch his teammates get hurt and then try to friend the enemy through talk-no-jutsu.

 

Deep inside, we wish Baam would just own people without any built up drama behind it.  Just like the good old FUG days in the beginning....... -tears-

Chapter Summary From Reddit by Zenotha

Spoiler

Koon remarks that with the train nearly reaching the next station, it would be too difficult to return to the rice pot. Baam, however, thinks otherwise. His sixth sense tells him that it would be possible, even if the timing would be kinda rushed. He tells them that he will go alone so as to avoid getting the others dragged up in his affairs.

Meanwhile, Ran is mad at how the guy addressed him (midget), and uses a lightning-based move on him. However, it is revealed that the move is useless - this guy is called "Hesse", one of the ten (something) of the Name Hunting Grounds - "Mud Man" Hesse. He is immune to lightning, with the only effect being the hardening of the mud on his body. Having stolen many names already, he is looking to add one of the ten families to his list.

Hesse reveals more about his powers - most attacks are useless against him. Flames, lightning - practically all elemental attacks are useless against him.

Ran and co. are confused about the whole "name stealing" thing going on - Chisai then instructs his underling to explain to them how the system works in the Name Hunting Grounds.

The Name Hunting Grounds is a location which commemorates a historical battle between the Ten families and the "original residents", where they gambled their names. Here, people who have their names stolen can never use it again unless they steal it back. The winner can take everything he wants from the loser. Those who have their names stolen, the "nameless ones", can never leave this place, being forced to live in one corner of the area. Those with names, however, stay in a different, larger building. Those with the most names here are known as the "ten (something", with Kaiser being the one in the lead.

Kaiser is the governor here, never having had his name stolen in the past 1000 years. He only shows himself whenever the train stops by. The underling tells Ran that it's pointless to even dream of beating him.

Ran thanks him for being better than their light bearer. (Bunny ears tells him to shut up, else she will increase her prices). He is confused about why people want to steal names, as he himself doesn't even like his name in particular. Unable to see the point in stealing names, he calls those who obsess with doing so crazy. One who does not value his own name does not deserve any. Ran swallows the lightning pill.

After a bunch of hits that seemingly have no effect at all, Ran decides to test a new move he invented. Even after coming up with the theory, it took him two whole days to be able to execute the move. However, he could not find anyone to test it on. Previously, his moves involved the concentration of shinsoo in a point, however this particular move involves stacking several bangs of shinsoo, gathering them and expanding the rooms in order for him to utilize the most possible shinsoo he can muster in a single move. In other words, a "gigantification" of his original moves.

Ran wins the fight, remarking that his name must have been too heavy for his opponent.

Team Ship Leeso watches on, remarking on how powerful Ran has become.

So we really didn't learn anything this chapter, aside from a huge battle between ten families and current residents. I suppose we have to wait for Kaiser to get a good explanation about this name stuff.
