Hungry Joker 8: Amber of Thales

Recap:

At the beginning of chapter 8 Rosalie and Kild are speaking, nothing important except revealing name of the enemy who ambushed the white joker headquarters: Ragins.

Also in this chapter it is implied that the Eureka users grow stronger over time in using their powers. In example Haiji couldn't use his powers for longer than 5 minutes before, but now he managed to pass the time limit easily.

Shortly after this Ragins pulls out of his mouth Amber of Thales which gives power of electricity to the user, in this case to Ragins. The battle between Alan, Haiji and Ragins begins, but Ragins quickly just overpowers them with his lightning attack.

Mira says that she can make Alan and Haiji recover: she reveals us that she's "Eureka Compatible helper". She apparently can somehow magnify other people's Eureka powers. We are told that it was her that managed to find Pythagorean hammer's special frequency which heals people.

By the way, Ragins has freakishly long hands.

Tojiioori comes and splashes some gasoline on Ragins, clever scheme so that he couldn't use electricity any more without igniting fire on himself. He begins to strangle Tojiioori for this.

Chapter ends Haiji beating Ragins a little bit with some gravity power and saving her assistant from death.

Comments and Predictions

Hungry Joker chapter 8 was a good one. We got some new information of all kinds of stuff. It's encouraging to see that the Eureka user's powers are growing, and I'm absolutely eager to see what kinds of things mangaka invents for our pleasure. It's great choice to give "gravity" as a power for this mangas antagonist, since it has so many uses that only imagination limits it's uses. It's great to see that Ragins had a Eureka with him after all, but I'm a bit disappointed in it. It could have been made a lot cooler with a little bit more effort on art.

Anyways I think we'll next time in Hungy Joker chapter 9 we see either the end of this fight and I have a sort of suspicion that we may have another Mavro join the battle / save Ragins from the White Jokers. I would have liked to see something else of Amber of Thales, but maybe I'll have to put this on the beginning of the series where we are just getting explained all the things and battles shouldn't last for too long.
