I ran all of the pages through Google Translate to better understand what was going on, and I thought I’d talk about a few things I saw, while everybody’s gushing over Fantôme Aequilibra.

1 - You know, I always thought certain AkiNao fans exaggerated how much Kagetsu actually cared about Akina and Nao’s relationship; he only teased Akina bout having a crush on Nao that one time, and never did so again. I guess that assessment is more accurate to reality than I thought, judging by this page.

2 - This is something I guessed when Sugu was revealed. It seems that Nao hasn’t seen her family in some time. Perhaps it was due to being away for college?

3 - This restaurant owner seems to be Kagetsu’s uncle. And perhaps it transforming from a takoyaki shop to a grill is possible credence of Fantasma just warping reality without rhyme or reason.

4 - Here, it seems we have our first previews of what the not-Akina Mythisch fighters’ lives in Fantasma were like: 

\- Kanami appears to go to school with Akina, Hikari and Kurumi. This doesn’t feel too improbable. Maybe her life is connected in some way to how Kurumi never died in this reality?

\- Mikoto appears to be more prim. What could have changed here? Perhaps she’s not an idol in this reality?

\- Michiru looks exactly the same. Did… anything change for him?

\- Nao is with Sugu, so evidently, she has something to do with her reality. I wonder if Sugu’s position in the real world is a bit different from what some think; maybe she’s not dead or suffering in any way, but she just misses having her sister around regularly, after she went away for college. She does seem pretty clingy after all.

Additionally, Veissrugr is implying here that the Mythischs seem to reawaken on their own, so there may not be any trigger. Plus, this line about “the counterattack” starting when everybody reawakens… perhaps the Mythisch fighters are starting with an advantage of no penalty for losing until everybody’s awake again? Maybe we’ll get more of an explanation here. I mean, theoretically, more Fantôme fighters can appear as Fantasma expands, unless there’s some intelligence behind it, and it pre-determined how many there are, and who will become one.

5:) We have five silhouettes here. One is Kyohma, and multiple people were quick to identify another as Yuna. As for the other three, theories are abounding, like Senka, Zakusa, Danji, and others. I suspect the one between Kyohma and “Yuna” may be Sophie, for some reason.

6:) Okay, I am now 99% certain Sugu is a Fantôme fighter. Perhaps she’ll be the final boss of the manga.
