Hungry Joker Chapter 13: Dodomekis with Curare Beak

Comments:
It's great to see that there's finally something actually interesting happening. Grandma herself wasn't related to mavro, but it wasn't really hard to guess that in this story there would be a battle with one. Dodomekis seems to be pretty powerful himself and I believe that the author making Haiji and Viviane getting beat means that he plans to make Nils an Eureka user by leaving him as their last hope.

I really however do hope that Nils doesn't join into White Joker since his character is too unimaginative and uninteresting: In my opinion Hungry Joker already has too many uninteresting characters that we have to 'enjoy' for time being.

Anyways, action in this kind of Shonen is always a good thing and this weeks chapter was a pretty decent, maybe even a good chapter compared to the previous ones. I'm still hoping for those awesome plot developments that finally hook me to this series.

It says at the last panel that in next issue the gamble comes to an end: how lovely that these battles are not dragged on for needlessly long, for that I have to praise Hungry Joker.

Recap of Hungry Joker 13: The Truth of the Labyrinth
By Tabata Yuuki

-The old witch is dead, suddenly someone  called Dodomekis appears behind our heroes. They realize that the whistle sound was coming from him.

-Haiji asks who he is, but he despises talking to men. He then reveals that he is the man who killed Nils' grandma.

-Dodomekis killed her to remove Eureka inside her compatible body. He also belongs to Mavro.

-Dodomekis' Eureka is Curare Beak, which comes from an amazonian bird. It's beak gets coated with poison sap after the bird pecks with it, however nowadays the curare is used as a muscle relaxant drug in medicine.

-Nils' grandma  in her final moments used her power to create the labyrinth of mist to entrap Dodomekis inside.

-The battle is about to behin, Viviane goes into her blade mode and gets hit my Dodomekis.

-Dodomekis used her curare beak eureka to enlarge his hand

-Haiji then uses his gravity power to put Dodomekis down, but it has no effect at all.

-Viviane attacks but misses, Dodomekis uses a poison breath attack which is effective. Haiji pulls Viviane out of the way and Dodomekis then attacks with long range poison splash which hits Haiji straight on.

-It seems that Nils is their final hope.
