Well....

Mrs. Tsukino's big reveal--kinda flat, after that buildup.  I also
expected Makoto to get in a line someplace.  I would have liked to
have seen more consequences.

Ranma gets a power-up--long.  Too long, really.  And shouldn't Eiko
have adjusted its speech patterns to better communicate with its
symbiote by now?  Eiko comes across, as in the last couple of
chapters, as very arrogant in its assumptions.  Eiko may have access
to a more complete database than others, but it seems to have decided
that that makes it absolutely right on *every* subject.

I'm really looking forward to Eiko getting a smackdown/reality check.

Ranma lords it over Setsuna--enh.  Given that she and Eiko have
*very* different memories of the split, and Eiko having a corrupted
database, I'm not so sure Setsuna is in the wrong here.  Especially
since I don't believe that Setsuna would choose a future where
massive unnecessary death happened unless the alternative was much,
much worse.  

Kasumi's not-quite-leet-enough psychic skillz--honestly, she's the
least interesting of the Tendou family to have a reaction shot here. 
Sorry.

Silence Returns--the most interesting thing in the chapter.  And Eiko
should really get a slapdown for this.

Don't blink or you'll miss it--Nodoka, Nabiki, Grandma, the actually
lesbian sister.  Nothing new with any of these, really.  Except the
promise of yet *more* characters to try to keep track of in a couple
of chapters.  I still can't remember which kunoichi sister is which;
they really need some more good individuating.

Usagi gets a infodump offstage--I wonder how different that was from
the one Ranma got?  The final thought from our gentle princess who
tries never to use force if there's an alternative didn't sit
well....

In summary, not really a very interesting chapter; way too much time
spent on Eiko being superior and Ranma upgrading.  Not nearly enough
time spent on consequences.


Luck,
SKJAM!
