Yeah so. First- While I stressed over this chapter today at work, my brain decided I HAD to listen to Our Last Night's cover of 'Your Idol', and like. In my head, the first 20ish seconds are ***The Vibe*** of Opera's entrance at the end of the chapter. For some reason that was the only serotonin I got outta this because, again, it's a Vibe and I kept picturing them absolutely decimating BP and amusing myself with that.
...But my own internal giggles aside on that alone
Opera is going to fail.
-Which, you're gonna have to hear me out on this.
Narnia isn't stupid, let alone BP. Iruma is ***collared***.
Considering the design, I'm gonna take a leaping guess and say that this is to prevent interference. Kalego has probably told Narnia all about Opera and just how strong/insane-once-triggered they are. This could be easily disproven next week, but I can imagine Opera getting instantly handicapped by Narnia/Kirio (Azami? Honestly idc) stating that if Opera interferes/Iruma resists arrest, the collar will snap his head off/severally injure him.
This is also Narnia high key taking petty revenge on Iruma for "collaring" Kalego, as he mentioned last chapter.
Then there's the spider iconography.
This might just be the regular aesthetic of Babyls- I kinda forgot, but spiders have had a strong tendancy to mean bad things are coming.
I bring this up because of several events, from Iruma's terror drop during the Harvest Festival where there was the spider-like creature. The spiders that were being experimented on. Atori. Balam mentioning that there *aren't* spider demons. However, most visable-yet-hiding-in-plain-sight during the Henri Memory Arc-
Right at the beginning of Merize's delivery, this thing was hanging out behind everyone as a signal of bad things to come. The result was Merize almost dying, having her memory erased, and being severed from the Netherworld.
So... I don't think we're gonna get the W we want with Opera's appearance. The "good guys" have had something of an easy win streak going on- they need a loss, and it's going to be an agonizing one.
...However, just as it's been said that humans disrupt the Netherworld's order, it'll be proven that Iruma in particular is a catalyst of "unification."
-We need the heroes to be challenged so that they can grow, but so too does Iruma need to be challenged and grow.
This is a starting line. It's just that the battle may dip into a ravine before going uphill.
I was already not feeling physically well this morning, but this chapter had me stressed to the point that I was having issues doing my job and focusing
😂😭🫣
Yeah so I think even if Opera doesn't break Iruma out, this is the first time we've seen them this angry, and we may see bodies next week. Blood even.
Can't wait for the scanlation.
-Final thought- how pissed do you think Opera was when they first found out and is Shichirou scraping Kalego off the walls, or did they just punch him. So curious what's going on at the Babyls side now.
*****-I haven't gotten to the last page, but I just realized BP collared Iruma AT BABYLS, so Opera hasn't even run INTO Kalego yet.
The school building is done for. 😂 There's gonna be BODIES.
let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!
