With a start full of good plot twists and a frantic course in the script, we are thrown onto a freight train.... A train with windows to see all the devastation and absurdities brought by the supernatural war. So, expect lots of pipelines to the end point and expect to be filled with conflicting feelings as well. This is a tale of war, a tale of the supernatural, a tale of heroes, but above all, a tale of salvation.
This is the initial beauty created by your accountant. Nothing but planting the seeds of discord and waiting for them to bear fruit. With the sprinklers of information, it will always feed the discord dispersed by its creator, until in the end, the war flourished..... Oops, I feel that this analogy would be better used in the previous volume, hehe
For comparisons, compared to the war in the previous book, following each protagonist's vision seems much more interesting here (Perhaps, apart from Touma's, which I think was more interesting and heavier in the OT). The point is probably because the characters have settled down strongly and have had more than enough time to demonstrate their skillful charisma, or maybe it's because the routes to each hero seem even more sparse and so charged that with the contact of their electrons, the fury of the destruction can prevail or the union of the fusion? It cannot be said, but this alone shows how well this story has structured itself. These are configurations that honor war, like spies, conflicting information and scattered lies that create such a perfect and watered-down syntony.
Kami-yan, Aleister and Accel are the stars here as they have been worked on for much longer and are very unique, with each having their own philosophy of life and moving away from the cliché... Hamazura for me at least was a tip. a little irritating in parts, but still because he's a character that Kamachii had known what he was going to do since OT19 (With a little bit of analysis, this is pretty obvious), as boring as his script conveniences are, it's still pretty fun if you stop to think about the structure (very small spoiler to follow).... Seriously, when Accel sends them investigated for Hamazura because it's some kind of faulty code that without a watch could cause a rift in the game, and it just switches to the vision of Hamazura with two magical gods on his lap and heading straight for the enemy, man, I couldn't help but laugh out loud!
Now, time to talk a little about configuration and writing...
The action scenes are very well done and frantic, with the whole magical setup being well described and creative, not to mention how these end up adding to the crazy status of the script. Here we also have some comedy scenes that will get you some laughs and help you digest the main course better.
The setup here is once again carried by the complex and organized flow of information, EXTREMELY fair to the reader. As with NT12, pre-written magical symbologies come back as a complex and emotional dialogue or plot twist, which honestly is one of my favorite parts of the work, as it is the pre-disposition of information that shows how refined the diamond is. that the author preserves
The main game here is to find out who the real owner of the chess game is, as over time more and more pieces seem to arrive and pawns seem to turn into kings, which makes for a crazy long game, but still, very well done and with effort on both sides. I think this was one of the funniest parts of the entire volume and a sure-fire play with manipulation and hidden bosses, which comically reminded me of Dark Souls haha!
On top of all that, something that really touches is the covert work done from the NT20 up until now, where not only do we have some kind of larger Aleister Crowley redemption, but stand out compared to the Yin-Yang. The entire universe is made up of different manifestations of the infinite unity between good and evil. As Orsola is the Yang who possesses her camouflaged darkness, Aleister is the Yin who possesses a strong virtue hidden in a sea of darkness, like a shipwreck that hides a legendary treasure. Yin and Yang tend to attract each other until resolution comes, and even though all events are fleeting, they can still have a place to be held in your heart for a LONG time, just like Aleister Crowley, whether for revenge (Yin ) or their redemption (Yang). I think the illustration in this part pretty much summed up the dark and light, of course, if you pay attention.
I won't talk much more about Aleister and his true feelings or even Mathers' gentle and selfish lies to yourself... I'll leave this analysis or your own interpretation for others, but it was definitely a villain worth reading from start to finish. finally, always honoring the conspiracy theory until something very simple is presented that was hidden behind a jumble of information, like a humble Christmas present overtaken by the gifts of the rich.
Finally, some things seem to be developing very quickly behind the scenes... No, it was such a hidden development that it just seems to be being noticed now, which does not prove an amateurishness of the author, but rather a good wit and control. New villains, I expect a lot from you!!! (I obviously wasn't talking about him, but... FIAMMA PLEASE TURN BACK!!!)
(I urgently need to keep Accel and Touma's interactions deep in my heart)

The fight between Samuel Lidell MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley is the best fight in all of fiction, the emotional weight it held and the character development to Crowley are both amazing. The ending also set up the next volume in a way that made it all flow very well.
