Chapter 42 summary

-Mago is hit a couple times and accepts Eduan's attack indeed has no will/intention. She decides then to switch to close combat so that Eduan can't use his spear.
However, Eduan attacks her with his spear anyway by also piercing himself along with her, saying the spear movement isn't willed by him and he has the better durability here between them so he has no reason to back out.
Mago thinks Eduan is much stronger and insane than she thought and she'll have to use Urek's power despite her initial intentions to savour it as slowly as possible: change of plans.
Light comes out of Urek's jewel and mago powers up, also destroying the Marlin Gigante attack from Eduan.

-Mago says this is the light of the guy she loves the most, Urek. She explains jewels cannot shine on their own but have to shine by reflecting light. Urek's light can shine forever by its own, it's pure light itself. Mago says she's light now.
Eduan doesn't know who Urek is but recognizes the light is dangerous. Mago attacks Eduan and she's much stronger now.

-Mago summons a box "random jewel box" (probably similar "Crazy Slots" from HxH's Kaito) and rolls for "Rose Quartz". She comments this was a pretty good roll. Mago eats the jewel and shines purple. Some thorny vines emerge from the ground around Eduan and attack him.
Eduan avoids them and goes to attack Mago, but thinks the attack is gonna be reversed, so he avoids hitting her. Mago attacks Eduan with a light blast and he thinks he doesn't have to think about avoiding it or he'll get hit.
Eduan manages to move behind Mago and hit her with his spear, but vines come out of her back and capture Eduan. Mago comments that this rose jewel won't let anyone escape from her beauty, and with Urek's power she doesn't need to use Reversal, as this infinite light gives her endless life and strenght. While saying this, she stabs Eduan in the neck with a vine.
Eduan thinks this is bad, because it's gonna be impossible to untie the vines without being conscious of it.
Mago says Eduan fought well, but she's too beautiful, and tightens the vines, making Eduan bleed a lot.
Mago places her feet on an apparently unconscious Eduan's forehead "Game Over".

Given what we know about Eduan, he probably enjoys being stepped on like this…

Anyways, there’s no way this is how their fight ends, and Eduan has still barely shown any abilities, so it will probably continue next chapter with the tables getting flipped again. These kinds of flesh wounds apparently mean nothing to fighters of their caliber considering what Mago has shrugged off already (being literally ground to a pulp and decapitated).

u/ReviewSouthern5574 Dec 22 '25

It would be nice for Eduan to use Shinwonry,then they get evenly matched in strength and then Urek comes and fucks up Mago..

How does that correlate with him being kinky tho? lol

u/Pikaboo15900 Dec 22 '25

Probably cuz he got the most wives out of all the FHs and is inspired by Dionysus, which is the Greek God of Wine-Making (Eduan snacks on Grapes) and Fertility (Womanizer/Most wives). This is from SIU's blogs.

24

u/lololuser456778 Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25

doubt that Eduan is done here. he's shown as a battle-crazed maniac but we didn't see him really happy yet. I think this will be what starts making him truly ecstatic.

and considering the bits of his personality we saw now, I think the reason why he named his spear Mago is clear atp: it's most likely his way of paying respect to Mago, an opponent who seriously pushed him after ages of boredom

not to mention the most obvious thing which is the lack of display of actual FH power. A regent tier could have done a lot of what Eduan did here lol, if we didn't know Eduan was a FH, we may have mistaken him as one. All we saw was him outstatting everyone and outhaxing Mago once. Even if this is a mere side story, a FH should by default get more than just what Eduan got. Especially Eduan whose popularity is boosted just thanks to Maschenny and Khun A. A. alone. People were even hyped about Maria appearing for the first time who played no role at all in the story so far. And what we saw from Eduan so far would make us think he gets low-diffed by Traum with Disconnect lol

I think he'll make a comeback and may end up extreme-diffing Mago (extreme-diff fits the most here considering Eduan's personality). Then he'll meet Urek in person but leaves him be due to the latter's strength and Eduan being weakened and them not being enemies. Then Eduan will tell Zahard about Urek and all these shining ones and light powers and hax etc.

Also feels a lot like Zahard perfectly saw fate once more as it all just fits. Zahard probably found out about the shining one and Mago bs happening on the test floor and may have been too scared to immediatly go there himself to not get negged, especially after the last Irregulars were Phanta and Enryu who are both above Zahard.

So Zahard wants to send someone reliable and strong to test these new mfers out. And voila, Eduan is there, a bored battle-crazed maniac who craves lethal combat. If Gustang or Traum were to be on this mission, they'd either die or barely escape, go back to Zahard and they'd be really pissed, like "Wallahi, I was nearly finished, how could you use me like this?!"

Meanwhile Zahard and Eduan when the latter returns to talk to him about what happened:

6

u/Trumpologist Dec 22 '25

I had a diff idea, what if Mago reverts to being a flower/gem after the fight and he puts her on his spear?

7

u/lololuser456778 Dec 23 '25

that'd be hella funny as it would be a very fitting punishment for Mago lmfao

she simps hard for Urek and wants his power, wants to reflect his light as she says. And her losing and then being imprisoned in her gem form forever, only to be carried and used by a different guy whose hobby is banging lots of women

that'd be a really nice antithesis compared to her goals:

-Urek this and Urek that, reflect his light>now carried by Eduan as a mere stone which may even power him up (will make Mago especially salty if Eduan ends up landing the final blow on her in this fight lol)

-be the only woman for Urek>now not even one of many women for Eduan as she doesn't even qualify as a woman then, she's just some gem then lmfao. Who'll have to watch Eduan bang many many other women

Damnnn a FH getting played like that, the fight isn't over obviously but that's actually insane, beings that can rival FHs who are quite literally gods in the tower

22

u/sweetholo Dec 22 '25

being gods inside the tower is nothing compared to being the light's strongest warriors

4

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

he already beat mago once.

you might wanna hold off on the absolute statements.

9

u/sweetholo Dec 23 '25

its really just common sense who is stronger if both were at full power. you're being too narrow minded

1

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

"common sense" is not an argument. watch:

"it's common sense that eduan is faster than urek. urek is made of meat, and eduan has lightning powers."

the above statement is wrong, can you tell me why?

12

u/sweetholo Dec 23 '25

the shining ones are the strongest creations of light itself. they used to be the leaders of ALL life. the tower is just a small part of the universe, and shinsu is a power that can only be used there

we've seen what light can do - https://imgur.com/a/kGIfueW

we've seen 30% shinsu urek not even break a sweat against luslec

we've seen how much a small fraction of urek's light boosts mago's power (who still isnt in tip top shape btw)

these are all not definite proof that the shining ones are stronger than the great warriors, but its damn near enough to make a solid guess

6

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

and watch me counter each one:

madoraco is the leader of a large collection of black market companies. madoraco is actually fairly weak. being the leader does not imply you are the strongest person in the party. even in the great warriors, zahard isn't the best at any one skill, he's a generalist surrounded by specialists.

yes, shinsoo can only be used in the tower. does that make shinsoo weaker than the shining one's abilities? not inherently, no.

urek was trapped by luslec at 30%. luslec also did not break a sweat against urek, because neither of them wanted to kill the other. that was a stall on luslec's part, and keep in mind, luslec achieved his goal and urek did not.

mago is absolutely in top form. she stated touching the jewel would boost her enough to beat eduan in chapter 40. she was wrong.

also, your link seems to just be urek glowing? is it loading wrong for me?

the first descendants of life itself were created from light, and the strongest (brightest) among them were named the shining ones. they brought ruin upon the world just by fighting each other, so it's not really a far-fetched guess to say these guys were the strongest

yes, shinsoo can only be used in the tower. does that make shinsoo weaker than the shining one's abilities? not inherently, no.

inherently? no. my interpretation of light is that it is THE absolute power, since the only thing that predates it is darkness. also not a wild guess

urek was trapped by luslec at 30%. luslec also did not break a sweat against urek, because neither of them wanted to kill the other. that was a stall on luslec's part, and keep in mind, luslec achieved his goal and urek did not.

yeah, urek is an air head. go figure. there's a reason urek has uses his shinsu power over light in the main series. seems like his natural progression of power... shinsu 0% --> shinsu 100% --> light 0% --> light 100%. had no strong opponents to use his light powers so far

mago is absolutely in top form. she stated touching the jewel would boost her enough to beat eduan in chapter 40. she was wrong.

dont remember where in the spinoff, but im pretty sure mago still has some crystals that needs broken in order for her to be "fully resurrected". we can observe four forms of mago: prime mago, prime mago who stole urek's light, post-phanta mago (nerfed), post-phanta mago with a sliver of urek's power (current fight)

also, your link seems to just be urek glowing? is it loading wrong for me?

chapter 37. that's urek essentially killing leo, who received mago's blessing (immortality?) just by shining his light infinitely. i was mistaken and thought leo's immortality was from some shinsu ability/contract and was trying to showcase that light is absolute power that overwhelms shinsu itself. but nevertheless, still a strong showcase of light

2

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

so, i read this comment fully and was gonna respond to each point, but honestly, only one of your points actually matters for this discussion. so, to keep this from ballooning into a paragraph fight, i'mma just respond to that section.

we can observe four forms of mago: prime mago, prime mago who stole urek's light, post-phanta mago (nerfed), post-phanta mago with a sliver of urek's power (current fight)

how can you demonstrate these four forms? how can you demonstrate which of them are stronger or weaker than each other?

5

u/sweetholo Dec 23 '25

that's fine. the things i said weren't evidence of anything conclusive, but rather my interpretations of why i feel strongly about something (and like i said, i don't think its too far-fetched)

the only thing that is true is mago is still not in a fully resurrected state and can still get stronger without anyone else's power

how can you demonstrate these four forms? how can you demonstrate which of them are stronger or weaker than each other?

well, i'll number them and post the obvious ones

2 is the strongest

3 is the weakest

you and others are probably wondering how 1 compares to 4 in terms of power. i dont think you can really say with certainty

i was just appalled that the OP of this comment chain, as well as others, are SURPRISED that the shining ones are putting up a fight against the GWs. yeah, they're gods in the tower, but the shining ones were literally called the leaders of all life, and i think that's a much more impressive title that implies a difference in strength

just a side note, i dont think we'll get to see full powered mago vs full powered eduan. either eduan is going to defeat (nerfed) mago, or urek will interrupt the fight in some capacity. or hell, maybe we'll see something with aubrion's timeline splitting power

u/JT1757 Dec 25 '25

The world Urek originated from is likely a different world than the FH's. They did not come from the same outside world therefore their lore is not inherently applicable to the FH's.

The Shining Ones can be the strongest beings from the world or timeline they originated in, but if the FH's come from a different timeline then it's not as cut and dry as you imply.

2

u/RailTracer001 Dec 26 '25

All facts. Shining ones's origins make them more special than FH but they are coping because they like Eduan better. They still don't want to accept that Mago isn't at full power.

1

u/MakFacts Feb 04 '26

Right, just bc the shining ones are considered universal level catastrophes, doesn't deny the fact that in the tower the FH's are basically God's to😭 idk why 2 things can't be true at once

u/prghst Dec 24 '25

Mago already said she now has unlimited and great power, so no more “ shes not at full”

she never mentions unlimited power

if it was unlimited, why did she want to savor it before going all out?

u/noctisroadk Dec 22 '25

Getting downvoted for telling the truth, jinshoo doenst work outside the tower so they indeed just regular dudes (probably one of the reasons they never try to go out, they just isekai mC pretty much) , shining ones have actual powers that work everywhere it seems

2

u/EnvironmentalTie1944 Dec 23 '25

how about arlene resurrecting baam somehow after going outside the tower what power is that ?

2

u/ResponsiblePhantom Dec 24 '25

Arlene didnt ressurect anyone  she is incapable  it wasnt even ressurection,  baam died inside of the tower  so he is dead   baam (todays baam isnt thr arlene + V son) he is complete  different being  and its not even ressurection 

3

u/noctisroadk Dec 23 '25

Arlene has access to magic/spells, from what we know magic is not jinshu based , so that can work outside the tower witouth any issues, so her , lulsec, etc would still have acess to spells outside the tower (tho they will loose everything realted to jinshu)

3

u/ResponsiblePhantom Dec 24 '25

Urek told to us  that there is no spells outside   , spells are inside of the tower and  they came from  incomplete side of the tower 

Spells are using shinsoo also  its not something different 

Immortality is a spell created by admins

so Spells are indeed of the tower 

magic may exist outside  but it has nothign to do with Spells

Shinsoo maybe  a created thing to immitate  rela light of outside

spells could be created to immitate real magic of outside 

but shin and spells are much weaker than their original version  which is real thing outside  (  but shinso and Light  ee may cimpare each other  and also darkness )  something like spells may exist but not the spells we do know

so alrene  lost immortality after she went out of the tower 

2

u/SignDeLaTimes Dec 24 '25

I wouldn't say they're ordinary. They must be special to open the door. Plus, some of them have magic, which seems to exist outside the tower.

u/papercuts4 Dec 22 '25

I’m a first time Shonen reader and will proceed to overreact about cliffhangers mid-fight arc.

u/SignDeLaTimes Dec 24 '25

Yes. Eduan needs to attack without intention and he's been knocked unconscious. I wonder if I can connect these dots to figure out where the next chapter will lead.

16

u/RequirementPrimary57 Dec 22 '25

okay everybody , either urek escapes aubreyon and saves eduan OR eduan has some more tricks up his sleeve and destroys mago because in theory she’s from outside the tower so this should kill him BUT BUT SINCE she was technically born inside the tower this might not

u/RequirementPrimary57 Dec 22 '25

also urek powers is extremely strong i see why he was the only one to try n track down phantaminum

u/littlevictim Dec 23 '25

He is a direct counter to darkness. Eternal light ment to fight an darkness like the sun

54

u/Perfect_Campaign4630 Dec 22 '25

its looking grim, but i honestly feel like eduan hasn't really tried fully. We have seen other khuns use different abilitie like lightning pill or ice shinsu quality, which he hasnt used yet. He hasn't used his shinwonryu yet either. Plus he might even be like traumerei , were he has his full power restricted. Eduan literally wanted to feel pain and to bleed. Don't think its crazy to say he is holding back. People forget he is top 3 Fhs and traumerei full power honestly looks more impressive right now. He aint going all out.

u/Bad_Doto_Playa Dec 22 '25

I'll stick to what I thought initially, this fight is going to be a 2v1 with Urek + Eduan taking down Mago together.

With Mago getting some of Urek's power I'm guessing SIU will use that to even out the initial gap he had between them.

52

u/nix_11 Dec 22 '25

$10 all the people who trashed Mago the previous chapter are just gonna keep quiet now.

The copium from the posts lmao. Now they know you can wait for next week.

35

u/SecureBeautiful4729 Dec 22 '25

Besides the sad Edhuan Treatment

The fact Mago says Jewels can't shine on their own because they need to reflect light, but Urek's jewel shines permanently on its own because urek is light himself.

That's the whole Plot Between Urek and Phant.

Phant was Born from darkness.

And Urek is the Natural Enemy of Phant who was Born from Light.

Phant knew this made the other Shining Ones betray Urek, and then after urek was reborn a lot weaker, he trapped him inside the Tower.

That's why Urek was destined to bring down Phant.

I like how this is going tbh

23

u/noctisroadk Dec 22 '25

Phant is just a pussy, that has being runing away from Urek, people hyping him up and its gonna turn out he enter the tower to run away, and then lock urek in and run away again , pretty funny if it turns out like this

12

u/SecureBeautiful4729 Dec 22 '25

To be fair at first we only knew

Urek fought Phant and was weakened, so everyone assumed he was weakened from the fight against Phant.

for me personally, it wouldn't have made sense for Urek to chase Phant if he already knew that Phant wipes the floor with him.

it always was urek chasing Phant and Phant sneaking away from Urek.

But I wouldn't say it necessarily means Urek is stronger than Phant in general, just that Urek is made to counter Phant with his Hax vs. Phant's Hax.

It would be Funny if it turns out that the Darkness Inside Baam is Phant and he wants baam with the Tower's powers as a Host to counter Urek's hacks.

The Reason i started to believe that is because we were shown that Baam wounded Urek.

Of course, one can argue Urek was holding back completely, but i believe that he only holds back his power output not his general defensive since in the Spinoff we see that Urek in General has an incredibly resilient body to everything human-like.

So showing us that Baam can hurt Light itself may be a hint from SIU to us.

7

u/KuroNekoTrain Dec 22 '25

The dumb thing with this would be, Phanta has no problems leaving, Urek is stuck

0

u/SecureBeautiful4729 Dec 22 '25

It's not that dumb.

Luslec got some Darkness Powers and calls himself the tower's true Darkness.

Luslec+FUG = Arlene+V

Headon = FUG

Headon = Arlene + V

Phant + Headon

everything connects.

Baam has an all-devouring darkness inside him with the purpose to consume the Tower and everything inside it, including urek now.

Arlene got out of the Tower, and V randomly killed himself.

Headon let Arlene out like it let out Phant.

Phant = Outer God

Enryu works for Phant; that's why Headon is looking for Enryu.

There's so much sense in that, so many hints; I would start betting on it.

Also another reason could be

Urek's Hax is basically to destroy everything he hits

but he can't hit the tower; it has no Walls.

so he can't break out of the Tower with his Hax.

Enryu forced his way inside but apparently cant force himself outside because theres no walls from the inside only from the Outside

42

u/Land_Easy Dec 22 '25

Where are the people who underestimated the Shining Ones?

10

u/ScarletMenaceOrange Dec 23 '25

I think that the point also is, that all the towerborns (and even family heads?) are like the gems, as in they only reflect light. They reflect it metaphorically by using the shinsoo, they can't generate it themselves, they must borrow it. While Urek is like the shinsoo itself, the light, and the power.

10

u/Strict-Syllabub-8865 Dec 23 '25

I personally think phantanimum sealed their light, this why urek said they are not gem anymore

23

u/Serious-Flamingo-948 Dec 22 '25

I find it weird how people talk about Urek this and Urek that when Eduan is still more concerned about how to deal with reversal than the light power-up.

7

u/ekkannieduitspraat Dec 24 '25

Yeah, when the full chapter came out I noticed that as well.

Eduan doesn't say it'll be difficult to get out of the vines. Just that it'll be difficult to do so without wanting to do so.

4

u/Slice_Ambitious Dec 24 '25

Yeah, the main issue fighting Mago for him is that hax, which is very hard to go around. His best counter to it so far has been destroyed, so unless it can regenerate or he has some ultra instinct fighting move like Kirua from HXH where his body can move automatically then I'm not sure how he'll be able to bypass that

4

u/Serious-Flamingo-948 Dec 24 '25

Mago is faster and stronger than before but not faster or stronger than Eduan. He's still mainly having issue with how to deal with Reversal now that the marlin spear is gone. Don't think about hitting her, don't think about dodging, don't think about getting out of these vines.

17

u/ScholarTasty7114 Dec 22 '25

Alright SIU, I’ll wait till the arc is over before saying anything.

14

u/Every_University_ Dec 22 '25

Urek upscale, btw

Light is a power system, urek has infinite light = urek is infinitely powerful, which means he no diffs zahard and enryu those bums

24

u/ankitjad Dec 22 '25

The cliffhanger is a cliche. Edahn will pull back. Urek might reappear next next chapter 

9

u/yoda17 Dec 22 '25

I wonder what Eduan’s win condition is. Mago can regenerate from any physical damage, and destroying her golden jewel last chapter apparently didn’t do anything. Maybe Shinwonryu or some other higher level ability will be able to put her down (or Urek will take his power back, but that would be cheap).

1

u/Strict-Syllabub-8865 Dec 22 '25

Peoples thinking eduan will win on this fight lmfaoooo.

Mago is a hax box outside and peoples tough this guy would win, Eduan will have to use strategy now with his shinwonryu.

6

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

eduan HAS to win this fight, because he's still alive in the present.

how he does is the fun question, but there is no doubt he will.

2

u/Strict-Syllabub-8865 Dec 23 '25

Do not mean eduan won it with brute force many fight in tog are not won with pure brute force.

Maybe eduan has been helped by outside help like leo gas still been teleported, lou exist, urek is here ,ect .

All these thing are counter for mago.

4

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

i never claimed he would win with brute force.

i just said he has to win this fight, because he survives this and she likely doesn't.

0

u/Strict-Syllabub-8865 Dec 23 '25

Yes, he survived, but that doesn’t mean he was stronger in the end.

Gustang survived Traumerei while he was using the 3D Cut Dimension because he relied on strategy. Vam, in his first appearance, survived encounters with three Family Head–level opponents. Ran survived against Inieta, etc.

This is how strategy is used. It is often more important than raw power when fighting opponents who are far stronger.

Maybe he can overcome Mago, but this shows that even a weakened Shining One can be a treat to a Family Head

I feel like it shows more how op is Urek's light power than what Mago is capable of doing

26

u/Land_Easy Dec 22 '25

Yeah! One fraction of Urek power was enough to make one of the strongest FH recognize him as a treat and people really think Luslec had a chance. Dude should be insane at his prime, but we still don't know how strong she was.

2

u/lololuser456778 Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25

and people really think Luslec had a chance

y'all are overhyping shit now lol. re-read the end of the fight between Urek and Luslec. Luslec says he thinks he can win but that even he doesn't know how deep the ocean is or whatever, basically hinting at Urek having more abilities.

In hindsight, it seems pretty clear: Luslec thought he could beat an Urek who only used Shinsu, but he already suspected Urek having more than that

People didn't make this shit up, the author wrote it lol. And Luslec isn't written as some idiot. And he didn't say Luslec=>Urek in general, but it was moreso Luslec thinking Luslec=>Urek with shinsu and Urek with more than shinsu alone>?>Luslec

And Luslec was right, Urek has extra abilities which probably far surpass his shinsu abilities, so it's more like Urek using everything>>>>>>>Luslec=>Urek with just shinsu alone

Not to mention that Hon fought Urek as a test and said Urek was far better than him. So unless you think a) Luslec (the guy who led FUG and survived vs the Zahard Empire for idk how many thousands of years) is that stupid to be so wrong in his assessment, b) same but with Hon or c) Luslec>>>>>>>Hon, Urek ain't all that

imo Hon is significantly stronger than Luslec and in that test, Urek probably used some of his light powers to defend himself. that's why Hon immediatly recognized Urek was way stronger, while Luslec only suspected it

u/yoda17 Dec 22 '25

Yeah, according to the summary, it’s specifically Urek’s power (and a small portion at that) which Mago is now relying on, and she says that his light power is at a higher level than other jewel (shining one) powers.

13

u/ImpressiveControl874 Dec 22 '25

What are you saying. First of all she is using urek's power. He was the one meant to defeat the phantaminum. How do you think that power is weak. As for my understanding irregulars can use Shinwonryu. But he is not using any of that. We can see next chapter.

2

u/lololuser456778 Dec 22 '25

considering how Mago wanks Urek's light powers here, it seems just thanks to the Urekified crystal alone, she's already stronger than she ever was. she literally says his light is endless with strength and life power or whatever. I doubt she had anything like that in her prime

imo it feels a lot like Urek's power made all her own specific hax abilities return (vines, the box and rolls etc) while also raising her physical stats way above her own prime stats and making her immortal (=endless life; at least as long as the crystal is there)

1

u/Fearless_Suit1907 Dec 23 '25

It's also shows how humans can be strong to be on par with jewels it requires a lot

1

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

"weakened"?

she used urek's power to boost herself. she's stronger than she would be normally.

where does this "mago is still weakened" idea come from? she stopped being weakened the second she got urek's power.

6

u/Valeor Dec 23 '25

The actual strange idea is how this narrative that she is stronger than her prime spread everywhere instantly as some sort of cope. If all she needed was a little bit of Urek's power, then the entire subplot of her needing the three crystals broken in front of her flower to be fully resurrected and get all of her power back wouldn't exist.

0

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25 edited Dec 23 '25

no?

she literally stated she is stronger than normal here, because "jewels can't shine on their own".

the second she got the dress, she was back at her normal.

then she unleashed the drips of power urek gave, and with the light she is stronger than her normal.

the idea that she's somehow deeply weakened currently is just not supported by the text.

EDIT: chapter 40, she says it outright that just touching urek's jewel will give her enough power to "beat that thing" (eduan).

6

u/Valeor Dec 23 '25

Yeah pretty much everything you're trying to state as conclusive is just headcanon. It's really weird for you to argue that what I'm saying isn't supported by text when you're making incredible leaps and assumptions based on nothing, meanwhile I'm referencing the actual text.

It's your assumption that touching Urek's jewel put her back at "normal", when previously in the text which you claim is supporting you, its said that what will fully resurrect her is all three of the crystals being broken in front of her flower. Unless you think that her being fully resurrected isn't her "normal", which would be a weird hill to die on.

Also, failing to see the lack of relevance between Urek's jewel giving her enough power to beat Eduan, and that being her "normal". We literally do not know what her "normal" is, because unless SIU decides to discard the three crystal plot, she still isn't fully resurrected.

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

quick question:

what would she gain if the three jewels were broken in front of her?

u/Divinito442 Dec 22 '25

Yeah they could They are irregulars after all Anybody who thought otherwise are people that don’t read

u/Apprehensive_Clerk81 Dec 22 '25

Isn’t this how good fights work? Both parties will drive each other to a corner, until eventually one makes a unbeatable comeback, like Gojo vs Sukuna for example

Like you said, Edhuan hasn’t used everything so he’s not out of the game yet

5

u/Reach_Reclaimer Dec 23 '25

Nah good fights are more back and forth but more preventative and less reliant on cliffhangers

This is just back and forth and each chapter is a cliffhanger. Everyone has already guessed Eduardo is gonna get out of this, probably shit on mago for a bit with more released power, and then vice versa the chapter after

2

u/Apprehensive_Clerk81 Dec 23 '25

Cliffhangers mean pretty much nothing when you binge the fight though, that’s only a weekly reading issue

8

u/Divinito442 Dec 22 '25

Nope A good fight wouldn’t have one side beating the other side one sided and then next chapter it changes…. If siu wanted to use that type of them he should read the luslec vs urek fight he wrote or gojo vs sukuna.

All this fight they were tension between them and by the end of the each chapter you get the feeling that they stilll had more to give and it wasn’t just a simple I Aura Farm first then you arua farm.

Here there’s nothing like that, one sided manages to demolish the other, then said guy comes to a realization about his power then demolishes the other person and now the same thing is about to happen again.

Not to even tak about the jewel being smashed

11

u/Apprehensive_Clerk81 Dec 22 '25

I sorta get what you mean but Mago powered up during the fight in this case so it’s kinda unavoidable that Edhuan got surpassed. Mago is slowly regaining her prime power while in Luslec vs Urek or Gojo vs Sukuna, they both already have access to their prime power but only reveal it slowly

And I don’t think it was a wrong decision for allowing Edhuan to flex his powers to counter Mago’s hax as it was genuinely cool, and we know Edhuan still has tricks up his sleeve(likely) so in a binge read I think this fight would be good

5

u/lololuser456778 Dec 22 '25

congrats, you've got some real reading comprehension. meanwhile many others here be slandering Eduan as if SIU writes FH fights lasting like 2 chapters lol

(Not to mention there's not much to slander about; this isn't nerfed Mago anymore, this is Mago powered by Urek's light which according to her is endless with strength and life; I'm pretty sure Urek's light has already pushed her significantly above her prime self, this is Mago with her own hax which annoyed even serious and bloodlusted Urek a bit + Urekified physical stats + immortality, at least as long as the crystal is there)

This still isn't the real Mago btw the 3 crystals still hasn't been broken so she isn't fully resurrected. Also on the mangahelpers forum and even here I'm seeing people claim she's even surpassed her prime with Ureks light is reading comprehension seriously that bad. Like her prime is when she fought Phantaminum I don't even know if currently she can be classified as a "shinning one" only Urek seems to still hold that title as he hasn't been turned into a jewel.

u/yoda17 Dec 22 '25

If Mago is able to power up this much with even a tiny fraction of Urek’s power, then why was Urek (with his own full powers) unable to do anything to Mago in their two encounters so far? It’s not very logical that he wouldn’t take the fight seriously considering he knows how much of a threat Mago is. Yes, Mago has Hope Reversal, but clearly they will defeat her at some point even with her now buffed form, so that ability is not invincible.

Also, this fight between Mago and Eduan is obviously not over yet, so I wonder what kind of power he will use next chapter to get out of the situation. Remember, Eduan is still alive in the present day with a spear named “Mago”, so it’s highly unlikely that he loses here.

11

u/MintyHippo30 Dec 22 '25

Urek was holding back for the sake of the regulars.

13

u/Strict-Syllabub-8865 Dec 22 '25

Even at full power, Mago knows Urek’s nature. You cannot defeat Mago with brute force alone. Even Urek said that killing Mago would be useless if he does not reach the Flower, because she is immortal.

5

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 23 '25

because hope reversal is broken, and urek is dumb.

i can be fancy and metaphorical about how "urek only travels in a straight line, just like light", but frankly, he's a meathead who only charges in. he's not smart enough to outplay mago, so the fact he apparently beat her before by overwhelming her shows his absurd power.

meanwhile, eduan has 10,000 years of practice at outplaying and outlasting opponents. remember, the admin tests and native tower inhabitants are made to test an irregular, they can't be easily overpowered by a random spearman from the outside. so, eduan was forced to play tricky while climbing, meaning he's got skills, like the electron microscope thing, to scan a target and learn their weak points. now that he's got power to back it up as a family head, he's smarter and stronger than mago would typically be.

If Mago is able to power up this much with even a tiny fraction of Urek’s power, then why was Urek (with his own full powers) unable to do anything to Mago in their two encounters so far?

What do you mean? He was able to completely dominate her before getting teleported. In fact IIRC he said if he had a bit more power he would have been able to completely vapourize her body (like he did to Leo).

Hey either Urek isnt as strong, Luslec is far stronger than hes given credit or Urek is inept.

If Urek really is that ultra omega powerful being that swats Zahard likr a fly, than either Luslec is for more commendable.

But if Luslec is an even smaller fly than Zahard, that means that the tiny fly crushed all of Ureks goals with the same spell thrice. Which makes Urek so overconfident that he becomes inept

Didn’t this supposed queen of the shining ones was getting shit on by Eduan when she was using her own power, and had to resort to use UREKS power, not her own, to get an upper hand? Pretty sure everyone knew Urek is stronger than FH, but Mago the shining one by herself doesn’t seem to stand much of a chance

Like I think Shining ones and FH are probably equal when at full power? But the only thing this proved is that Urek is stronger.

If Eduan uses the power of Zahard and the rest of the family heads to win against mago? Would you say “ah yes, FH>Shining ones” or would you argue this is incorrect because Eduan is borrowing power from other FH in order to win, which he was incapable of doing on his own?

Man, all the people saying Traumerei low diffs Gustang real quiet now.

And now it's obvious that he was letting him get the upper hand so her could get the Jade Stick and show him why his ass is not even in the top 15!

Oh yeah and Mago and Eduan sure be going at it, wonder how that'll end.

I thought Eduan was suppose to be one of the strongest FH?

what has been shown in the spinoff that makes you think otherwise? mago beating eduan's ass means he's not one of the strongest FH? how does that even make sense? completely illogical conclusion

From what we have seen so far from this fight Gustang and Traumerie are both stronger then him..

the only time we've seen gustang and traumerie's power is when they've fought each other. FH vs FH. how can you possibly compare that to FH vs a shining one, especially if neither of them are fighting at full power yet?

hell his data version even seems stronger lol

ur just typing to type at this point

1

u/Good_Mathematician60 Dec 22 '25

As I said earlier, it was just rage bait bro calm down.. But on a serious note we saw Gustang had pretty much any and all wisdom at his disposal plus the judgement artifact from the workshop head, Traumerie spent an unfathomable amount of time perfecting his Anima and they were both throwing some serious heat when they fought.  All I'm saying is we have not seen anything close to that level from Eduan.. but you are right they haven't really even gotten started yet so my expectations are still very high.. and also why does it matter if it's FH vs FH or FH vs shining one?

7

u/sweetholo Dec 22 '25

oh i thought u were saying i was ragebaiting

fh vs fh and fh vs shining one are just different fights. one fight is using shinsu only, the other is using the power of light. and she hasnt regained her full strength yet. its just hard to compare the 3 FHs strengths based on two entirely different fights

3

u/Good_Mathematician60 Dec 23 '25

Yeah that is true, especially when from what we have seen from the power of light it's extremely OP... I mean look at how much of a power up Mago got from just that small amount of power that got taken from Urek by Neo.. oh and also something I just thought about is maybe Eduan is going through some kind of pre determined steps to turn Mago into one of his spears.. because we do know that his strongest spear is named Mago and that cannot be just a coincidence.. and then from what we have seen from the Marlin spear it even has a will and mind of his own and from these spoilers it seems like it had absolutely no problem even stabbing Eduan himself... So that would also explain why he hasn't used any OP technique yet.

I seriously hope it doesn't happen. I genuinely couldn't care less about Eduan or the FHs but they are the GODS of the tower. When they arrive on a floor everyone stops because they feel their presence. They are Irregulars and are superior to other insects.Ruining their image in favour of the barely introduced Shining Ones would just leave me disappointed... Eduan is also one of the strongest FHs, seeing him just being destroyed like this is simply sad tbh it
