I don't think there's a better word to describe the beginning of this volume as "relaxing". While something narratively genuine was developing behind the main stage (biri-biri? Sphynx!?), the stage itself was warm and had a good air of post-war peace, which really interested me, however confusing some cuts were given. the narrative to produce a very solid and mysterious kind of plot twist
Another very interesting point is the approach to the characters and their complexity. It is the post-war interactions that allowed an unexpected feeling to sprout, like a seed in the middle of a burned forest. It is a seed that will still germinate, but it still has the life to become a beautiful tree, even with the difficulties of its ancestors. What I want to say here is that there were moments with a good depth and correlation that made this a very appreciable volume
Being Kamachii a skillful and intelligent man, some plot twists made by him end up being very creative and here this highlight occurs, being by lies intentionally created to divert to another convenient and false subject or by something hiding behind the scenes but without anyone noticing, like Corozon revealing himself to be the ultimate villain. There are several configurations that make this series with a great quality, and here it ends up incorporating this spirit well, without causing so much dispersion or confusion, in the ideal measure of pleasure and madness.
The biggest point here is probably the setting... After the "end" of the academic city, I didn't expect that the conspiracy theory could come so strongly in a magic arc, but unexpectedly it turned out well. The keyword is misplaced, but it can be like "grasping a cloud", which is a point that embellishes the writing and marries well with the subjective and confusing configuration. It's certain psychological conflicts and clues that make the mysteries shine and it's the theories around them and doubts that cause the conspiracy to be born.
Wrapping up the setup part, this was something that interspersed several volumes with the main factor of showing a certain "identity crisis" overcome post NT9, but just like that boy who endured all that eternal hell through gentle lies to preserve the world , it seems that this way has not gone out of his head since the crisis with Othinus, with him once again keeping the problems to himself without anyone noticing, thus resulting in the search for the self and the fight for himself.
Kamijou Touma is not Kamijou Touma because of his Imagine Breaker, much less for the conveniences in the script. Touma is Touma for his construction, for the configuration of a unique character that protects his own philosophy, that even if he overcomes adversity with some conveniences in the script, he is there much more for his own achievements, for his gentle lies that preserve smiles and for the his unparalleled heroism, even though he is much more of a selfish clown than a hero (Not because only Kami-yan said it, but because this setup really suits this king of violence)
Finally, this volume is full of hidden meanings, exceptional writing, and splendid storytelling, bringing back the full power of Kamachii. Now, with their positions re-established, new problems will appear and with the curtains of war closed, a new stage for despair is set, a show even bigger than the previous one that seeks the attention of the reader. Just like dark matter, someone leaves this world once again, not really proving their existence, but still impacting the entire status quo of science. With the rustle of a feather and the light touch of a right hand, hope is established once more... Now it's time for all three of them to clench their fists to fight for their ideals. Roar for your rights, heroes, the war is over, but the battle is about to begin again.
(If you want, you can consider this volume a big fan service, but still EXTREMELY well done.)
(The very placement of NT22 Reverse seems to have more meaning than it does when thinking about the volume's total contents, doesn't it? I found it quite artistic, even if simple.)
