Ch207 (p3), You've known me long enough

We get a vague understanding of what life was possibly like for Artie before coming to F. O. L. Orphanage...

...and we learn that Artie and Theo already knew each other before then, too.

But what does Artie mean by telling Theo to not "get scared now" after knowing Artie so long? Afraid of holding a gun... or afraid of Artie? Makes me wonder what Artie did before they both ended up in that orphanage!

Before Artie can elaborate (though he probably wasn't going to right then anyway), he and Theo realize more staff are headed their way.

Of course, that fan translation of the above page was very wrong about what Doll says. She doesn't say she will find a way to keep him/make him hers. No one calls anyone "baby". 😮‍💨 This does not, however, rule out the possibility that Doll tries to have Snake turned into a bizarre doll, if he dies. We do have to worry that bizarre doll Snake might turn against Finny and our earl simply because Finny left him to die. Same problem if Snake somehow lives (which I highly doubt); he could feel abandoned and choose Doll. Snake remaining loyal to our earl might not matter, though; Undertaker could turn him into a basic bizarre doll in order to simply show him off to our earl -- and possibly Finny, too -- later, just to make them feel worse about his death.

The fan translation of the next page isn't nearly as bad. The language here is more formal, but the gist of it was right:

I agree with @fwippysays, who said Finny might be thinking back to his master being arrested, then comparing it to now with Snake dying, because these are moments when Finny feels powerless to help those he cares about.

I hope Snake hears Finny's heartfelt apology for leaving him behind. Thankfully, the snakes are there to witness this: that Finny wanted to destroy Doll and take Snake with him. It's just that he felt he had to focus on their mission, otherwise Snake's death would be in vain.

Now what? Kill the approaching staff?

If Snake dies, I hope the snakes paralyze Doll and find the kids outside. Then they could burn the barn down. No bodies, no bizarre dolls.

This chapter and this chapter only mistranslates Macro as Makuro, likely not realizing that these guys on the phone are the same people from Hatchi's cover story, and thus already have a romanized name

I'm gonna say something that will probably get me exiled from the MHA fandom. I don't like Katsuki Bakugo. There's a lot that goes into why I don't like him, but I won't lay it all out here. Maybe sometime in the future, I will lay it all out, but for now, I'm just gonna comment on this panel. I'm not the biggest fan of Bakugo, but I love this panel. He's pushing Jiro out of the way, midair, with his foot while also blasting the other guy out of the way. Very masterful.

CH 207

The way the snakes are surrounding Snake is just heartbreaking.

Ch207, Spoilers part 2

Oof, Yeah. Artie has Polaris' aptitude alright. A bit like Sebastian, too, but he's meant to be a "copy" of Polaris.

Artie has Theo get the head matron's gun.

There's commotion down the hall, it seems. Probably more staff coming after hearing gun shots.

I can't tell if Snake is dead already or just still suffering. Theo might be saying something about having to deal with Doll, but it looks like Finny doesn't think she's much of a threat right now.

It could also be that Finny knows Snake won't survive a wound like that (if he's even still alive).

Meanwhile, people are coming down the hall and about to turn the corner to find them.

I can't tell if Finny is about to automatically kill those people... or beg them for help.

😞

Ch207, Spoiler pages with fan translation

These two pages have been fan translated (badly, lol), but the gist might be about right.

Finny thinks again to destroy Doll, but he's distracted by Theo reminding him about the approaching staff. Finny doesn't attack Doll or try to grab Snake. He turns to run with the students. I still don't know if he's going to attack the approaching staff or beg for help first.

I also don't know what the snakes are contemplating. Perhaps they decide to get rid of Doll. Perhaps they decide to attack the approaching staff. Maybe, if Snake is really dead, they leave the scene behind and slither away. 🤷🏻‍♀️

But here's the biggest problem with Finny and the others leaving Snake (or his body) with Doll. She could ask Undertaker to turn him into a bizarre doll. Even if he's not willing to support their cause, it might not matter. He could be turned into a basic bizarre doll and presented to our earl (and Finny) later, just to make them feel more guilt for his death. It would be in our earl's best interests for Finny to not leave Snake behind, regardless of whether Doll gets destroyed...

...baby. 👀 😆

Edit: I personally hope the snakes paralyze Doll and escape with the kids. Then Finny and the others think to set the horses free and burn down the barn, which would completely destroy Doll (and Snake) along with the body parts and the killed staff. Can't make bizarre dolls of bodies burned too much....
