Hungry Joker 9: Combined powers!

Recap of Hungry Joker chapter 9:
Now Haiji + Alan versus Ragins truly begins. Ragins shows that he can be either with or without the Amber of Thales very swift and damages Haiji without him even having a chance to react. Haiji tries to hit him with gravity press but is unsuccessful hitting Ragins due to him being too fast.

Ragins is seen bouncing everywhere and he's damaging Alan and Haiji consecutively. Ragins says that they can't escape his electrical discharges - he still hasn't show how he uses his Eureka usually.

Haiji and Alan are aware of their bad situation, as their attacks don't hit. Haiji suggests they try combining their powers: Newton's apple + Pythagorean hammer. As they draw closer the Eureka's seem attracted to each other. When the come in touch they whiten some. They both get some damage using their Eurekas for third time and cough some blood.

Their combined attack is incredible: it combines the sound spreading and gravity crushing destroying literally everything around them. Ragins is also caught in this destruction. Just before Ragins is dying he sees something before Haiji, someone from the past that he knows, but doesn't get chance to explain who he is.

Ragins dies by  getting his body molecules destroyed by vibrations + gravity and Amber of Thales drops to the ground.

We get a small scene bact at Mavro headquarters, where Rosalie and Kild are speaking and watching the happenings at White Joker hq. Chapter 9 ends in Kild saying that he'll be meeting with Haiji-kun very soon.

Will be continued in Hungry Joker 10.

Comments and Predictions


It was a great Hungry Joker chapter, if not even the best so far. I'm pleased to see that this Ragins battle wasn't dragged on too long. Unfortunately we apparently didn't get to see how he uses The Amber of Thales usually, but it doesn't bother me too much.

The consept of combining Eureka powers seems very viable, though it causes some unnecessary destruction to be used too often. Combining the powers presents basically unlimited possibilities in this manga and I like that.

And about the character that Ragins noticed "in" Haiji, it will be interesting how that will be unveiled. I think it has something to do with someone from Mavro, most likely it's someone very powerful who has connection to Haiji. He may even be Haiji's father and that's why Ragins noticed some kind of resemblence between them.

I think that next chapter the Hungry Jokers will have to seek for new headquarters for themselves.
