O_O HOLY- holy cow austin called it

I think he did, lol.

O_O sheesh wow man he's gonna be surprised

I was surprised that my prediction was right. I might be wrong but here are my predictions for Roko for this story arc, lol, XD:

1. Roko is going to be super hungry and eat a lot of souls while he is in his fish body. Either Roko is going to eat a lot of fish souls before he finds Saida and Brand or he is going to go crazy and use his new powers to suck the life out of the evil sea creature that captured Brand and Saida (if there is an evil sea creature capturing Brand and Saida, which I think it is a good possiblity of it) and eat all of the evil soul. The small Roko fish will gain some weight and will be a big Roko Fish by the end of this arc.

2. During the most important part of Roko finding Brand and Saida and trying to save them, something unexpected will happen to Roko. My guess it due to the combination of Roko eating a lot of souls in his fish body and due to there being two different souls already inside of the one fish body that the fish soul that was already inside of the fish body prior to Roko being inside will push Roko's soul out of the fish body when the sun comes out which will make the reapers chase Roko's soul.

3. If the reapers does chase Roko around, I bet that Roko will eat all of the reapers.

4. Brand and Saida will appreciate Roko risking his life and trying to save their lives. They will understand that all of them have important roles as a team. It will start for them to get along and grow a bond together instead of them fighting all the time.

mmhmm

I wonder what the final boss of this water level will be?

Let me guess, a shark?

Most likely Cthulhu

Maybe not THAT extreme, lol. How about a kraken-esque monster? Something down that line?

Maybe ^ ^ It all depends on Virmir's imagination

In other words, time for even more speculation, lol.

Ah yes, because we all know possessing the fish provides a much better control experience in the water than doing it yourself.

Thanks Mario.

Also getting "Sword in the Stone" flash backs now. x3

*Zora's Domain theme goes here*

But yeah, good call on using the pendant to store the balloon. Last thing Roko needs is to have two missing bodies

Right? I was thinking that, too.

🤷‍♀️❤️

Time to ignore a fish soup doing internal screaming.

oh as an eagle I loooove fish ;)

why not eat the soul of that fish and then morph into it?

If past pages are anything to go by, didn’t absorbing their souls cause the bodies to turn to ash?

there is something FISHY about this

Plot Twist, that fish was a friend of Brand & Saida and was actually going somewhere to get help for them, and Roko has just put a dent in that.

Although, what happens to the Fish’s Soul during this?
Or, does it become like a Jekyll & Hyde thing, where they battle for control of the body?

I admit, something I am nervous about with this chapter is if it’ll turn into a case of “Easily Forgiven” with Roko, or Roko just getting a sense of vindication, which in turn shuts out any type of self-reflection or accepting any responsibility for his actions, and he’ll continue screwing the party over when he prioritises his own greed or self-interest over others.

Also, you don’t make the jerk character look good by suddenly turning the other characters into jerks, either.

Here’s hoping Roko does get some Positive Character Development, Eh?

OK, fine, we'll have to share.

I wonder where my fish did go.

Roko Fish!!!! I am surprised that my prediction was right and that Roko was able to transfer and fuse his soul with the current fish's soul into the same fish. I have a feeling that is going to cause trouble later. Looks like Roko is probably super tired from using a lot of his energy to make sure he can transfer his soul into the fish, so he will probably be super hungry to eat some fish souls, lol. XD

Thanks for posting and I can't wait to see what happens next. Super phenomenal job as always. Keep up the awesome job!! ^^
