I got the impression from Madarao's reaction to Link's being there--"What is a Crow doing here?"--to mean that Madarao isn't a part of Crow but a different part of Central.

And to me their techniques seemed totally different, because Link uses spell cards for everything and Madarao merely had to invoke his arm. When Link said he could put the akuma out of commission, I took him to mean he could damage it enough so the exorcists could finish it off and he could get Timothy and everyone to safety. After Madarao absorbed the Level 3, Link was astonished, had obviously never seen anything like that before, and said, "He destroyed the akuma?!"

Ooohh. I forgot about his spell cards. >w<; Maybe Link and Madarao are using different techniques to produce a banishing vortex ( ... )

Ah, that would make more sense if it's Link saying it. And maybe Link is simply a lower level than Madarao, which is why he requires the cards. He is only 19, and Madarao looks like he'd be older. And we already know Madarao's an extremely skilled sorcerer just from his being able to break through the barrier and get inside to everyone.

Nope, that's exactly the chapter I was referring to. The version I'd read didn't say "banish," that's why I was under the assumption he meant damage.

I'm more curious as to who Madarao is. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but Link seems to know him as more than just a comrade, like they're related somehow.

Link is only 19? I had no idea. He looks older. Where did you find this?

It's not translated, but I'm pretty sure he's saying it's okay to eat nothing but cake since he's 19. X3 He says it in the anime as well. And it's in the fanbook here (second post, under the spoiler cut).

He does look older doesn't he? He's a little like Kanda...just nicer, intellectual, and BLONDE! XDDD

Hahaha, I can see it. But like you said, Link is much more polite, I think. :D

I agree on Link being more polite too. ^w^

I know. Sometimes, when I'm reading a comic, I can't quite tell who's saying what, because it's not clear who's speaking in the text bubbles. =_= In fact, most of the dialogue for chapter 181's 16th page is hard to follow ( ... )

That's the version I read. ^^

I was noticing that Madarao also seems to have a braid like Link's, which is me totally grasping at straws now. XD

These two different scanlations do have a few differences, but the Manga Share's DGM scanlations do seem to have higher quality...like they actually use different fonts and they look cleaner than OneManga.com's. ^w^

At first I thought those were just tassels attached to Madarao's hat or something, but after looking again they could be braids too. Though, they are lighter than his bangs and there are two of them....(Now I'm thinking of pigtails! X3)

Yeah, Manga Share seems to take a little longer to update because they wait for higher quality scans. I always read what comes out on OneManga because they're fast, but then I go back to Manga Share later because I prefer their quality and translations. I have Manga Share on an RSS feed to get updates, but the comms I'm in always have the chapters up before I catch them on the feed. lol

Pigtails would be so cute! Since he's so bad ass and all, especially. I'll have to do some more inspecting myself.

I know! If those really are his pigtails, I'm gonna crap a golden egg! =D I like Manga Share's scanlations too now. They are cleaner and their translations flow better. I guess I can look forward to their scanlations now. ^w^
