Oohh... reading my wonderful son say that he would give his life just to take away Monsoon's grudge and for said bear to admit he never hated him and sobbing in what almost looks like... gratitude...? The dynamics between these two are breaking my heart.
Okay, it's now official:
Orion is now my most hated Ginga character. I actively want to admire his fighting skills... but I can't - he's a violent, sociopathic, sadistic, Gary Stu whom the Ohu army has put on a Herculean podium like a god despite being a loutish, unstable, spoiled little brat and I
hate him. There, I said it. I feel better now.
Monsoon has shown more redeeming qualities than he has - he recognises, through Sirius' aid, that his grudge and past actions are unhealthy and Orion just doesn't care so long as he gets a resolution his way.
Err, anyway, thank you again for your translation Fanta and Kasi also for providing the chapter.

I can't understand why Gin isn't doing anything, but even worst is when Weed, Akame and Unsai are all looking at different way when Sirius tries to get help. Atleast Gin said something and did just not pretend that he couldn't see Sirius.
I honestly feel bad that TLW had to end so quickly. If there was bit more time moments like Weed fainting, Sirius asking for help, Monsoon crying etc. would be so awesome.
I have to say, I really like TLW even thought it has it's faults. Monsoon is really interesting villain and there is so much interesting things going on now.
I completly agree with Shining Sirius: it feels like everyone in Ohu army is afraid of Orion. And he is scary character if you think about it: he learns fast, he is strong and fast and also very stubborn and violent. If Ginga was darker (and more complicated) story I could imagine that Orion would be the villain at some point. And he would make great villain: Orion doesn't think he is evil. He thinks that others all soft and only he knows true justice. All other villains in Ginga have been evil and they have known it by themself too.
The Ohu army has treated past enemies better than Sirius at this point.
Yeah, honestly, for as much as I despise Orion as a person, I have to admit that he'd make a great villain. It would be really unique to see him becoming the next leader in the next instalment of the Ginga series (if Yoshi continues in more of a director's role and gets new illustrating staff to relieve his medical condition, perhaps?) and running a dictatorship in which all the dogs now live under his iron rule and are terrified of disobeying him for fear of public humiliation, torture or death, essentially making him the next Hougen or Masamune. Maybe Rigel and Bella are the ones to lead an uprising against their own brother with the help of Chibi the bear cub?
