Chapter 36
Flashback to Northwest Arizona, 1870. Aion and his goons are overlooking the Grand Canyon with a woman named Mary Magdalene. (Shock!) Chrono was with them, as well. Mary has the power to see in the future, and Aion captured her so aid in his quest. Rosette is learning all of this for the first time by diving into his soul.
Chapter 37
The reason Aion betrayed Pandamonium is because he wants to free the demons, but apparently, the only way to do that is to do . . . something, I can't remember. Whatever it is, it can't be good. For a while, Chrono played along with him, too. Now he's a reformed hero.
Chapter 38
Rosette's pocketwatch was made by Shader! Holy crap, I totally forgot that! Oh, also, Mary was traumatized by the savagery of the American Civil War as a kid. War sucks.
Chapter 39
Aion betrayed Chrono, and ripped his horns off. Very tragic chapter. Makes me hate Aion all the ever more.
Chapter 40
Mary's fate is described in detail, and Rosette is able to save Chrono. Why don't I see more comics with genuine pathos?
Chapter 41
Oh man! A fight with someone I can't reveal, for it would be too big of a spoiler!
Chapter 42
Our heroes are now proceeding to Eden, the fortress of Aion. The final stretch has begun! (To be continued in volume 7. Naturally.)
Omake #6
Daisuke thinks that everything in the world is the work of cute girls. I . . . am now feeling a sort of kinship between Moriyama-san and myself.
Final thoughts: Questions are answered, and the heroes are on the move. If this isn't the best shonen action series ever, then I don't know what is! Bring on the next volume!
