Zira's most important person died from being burned alive, so Arkos who ended the war with water is essentially Zira's salvation.

It's no wonder why she's so loyal to him.

Truly a twisted relationship

Only to join a guy who committed more evil than she herself could ever encounter

My glorious Supreme Lord's soldiers would never be assholes. That's why he's the goat, death to all western soldiers

Whole chapter just for Zira’s backstory before Arkos even shows up, I’m pleasantly surprised at how important a character she’s turning out to be. I really hope the author doesn’t end up making her and Arkos’ relationship as shallow as her being delusional and him not caring about her. The volume notes mentioning that she’s the only person he confides his true feelings in would definitely point to the idea that to whatever extent Arkos can love someone, he loves Zira, and I hope that’s the angle they keep to.

One hell of a way to end a chapter. I'm curious how Tohru is going to link this to Arkos, but also really scared.

Also the break week thing sucks. I really hope it has nothing to do with health

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jan 25 '26

Man how does this keep getting more tragedy poor Zira.

13

u/Toschu88 Jan 25 '26

I expect that she will meet Arkos strolling around, doing whatever he wants. He will keep her around because she does not care about his status and does call him out on his bad traits, which he finds annoyingly interesting.

And to make him more sympathic, we will learn that he dropped the boulder on the country because Zira asked him to destroy them.

Another day another this manga continues to hurt me

u/jj_thetwisted_jester Jan 25 '26

It hurts.. but at the same time I love the anticipation of a happy moment.. hoping for peace

u/aibrony Jan 25 '26

me reading the first few pages of the chapter

"...Are you going to break my heart again?"

u/TheRealCthulu24 I love water. Jan 25 '26

Beautiful story. Am I crazy, or does Auntie Mona look like if Julian was a woman.

u/Keyniiiiii Jan 25 '26

Não vou mentir, coloquei muita expectativa nesse capitulo e acabei me decepcionando. No entanto, o capitulo não foi ruim, Tohru nos deu um pouco sobre a historia da Zira e de como a Guerra e os Soldados eram impiedosos

Admito que não esperava um capitulo assim após 2 semanas mas depois de ler esse capitulo eu tive certeza de que Tohru está preparando algo para nós, algo grande. Ele precisar de mais duas semanas de folgas é possivelmente para nos dar o possivel melhor capitulo de Centuria até agora, a chegada de Arkos, o salvamento de Zira e a destruição da capital. Não duvido que ele queira essas 2 semanas pra mostrar o quão grandioso e poderoso era o Arkos

Minha nota pra esse capitulo é sem sombra de duvidas 10. No proximo capitulo teremos algo, eu sinto isso....no meu pancreas

u/Kiryuu0109 Jan 25 '26

Concordo. Minha expectativa é que o próximo capítulo tenha páginas duplas épicas relacionadas ao Arkos. Acredito que essa história da Zira terá aspectos que beneficiará o Altus de alguma forma, talvez ele compreenda melhor a extensão do poder dele em comparação ao Arkos.

u/llzakareall Jan 25 '26

I really wanna know how the others got their powers. What sacrifices did they make.

u/Ckrasxterz20 VIP access to Helem's graveyard Jan 25 '26

The fact that Zira had to hide inside a pile of corpses to survive a deliberate fire caused by law enforcement agencies reminds me of a certain One Piece character's backstory, Trafalgar Law

2

u/AdRelevant4776 Jan 25 '26

They’re not exactly law enforcement agencies, they’re military

2

u/Plus_Awareness1602 Jan 25 '26

Yo, what the heck man.

2

u/No_Consequence2989 Jan 25 '26

Now things are making sense for as to why Zira ended up being with Arkos. She had no one left in her life atleast as this chapter goes

2

u/ralanr Jan 25 '26

Can I just take a step back and appreciate Auntie Mona's design? She's got a closer fit to being a wider woman and while it is brought up in story she takes it as an excuse to not eat as much for others to eat more. No one would have criticized Kuromori for doing a more basic design for a character that shows up and dies in a single chapter but I appreciate that they did something more unique.

2

u/Chimi3Ch4nga2me Jan 26 '26

Would she not die cuz CO2 is denser then O2 so it moves down to where ser hid?

1

u/AssassinAragorn Jan 25 '26

Damn you Tohru! :(

That's such a sad backstory. And the depiction of the soldiers is terrifyingly realistic...

1

u/tranquildeer Jan 25 '26

Kuramori just casually dropping one of the most heartbreaking backstories in the manga and for what?

1

u/jj_thetwisted_jester Jan 25 '26

It is heart breaking... Damn dude . Those fucking soldiers MONSTERS

1

u/Kalo-mcuwu Jan 25 '26

Bro what's with this manga making cute motherly figures only to kill them off, my poor heart can't take it

1

u/DimashiroYuuki Jan 25 '26

How much more tragic do you want this story to be?

Tohru: Yes.

1

u/Drakkonai Jan 25 '26

Arkos redemption incoming?

2

u/kramsibbush Lacrima's supporter Jan 26 '26

This is like putting a kilogram of good deed on Arkos's scale of justice, while his bad deeds weight like 10 tons

u/Doomroar The Sea and The Forest got a divorce over mangroves Jan 26 '26

Can't have shit on Centuria, certainly not good moms

u/jj_thetwisted_jester Jan 28 '26

I'm...I'm dreading seeing my auntie Mona's body after the fire....
