So, is this the face of our next super villain?

Fisticuffs? All right then...

Again, that is a filler intro panel, with Asami looking out of the window*. Note caption in that panel is "AKIHITO AND ASAMI FINALLY REUINTE!!!**"

Now why would that be on Fei's profile shot?


*Unless for continuity sake, you think Fei walked out of the room, went to roof and is now hovering in the air, looking down at the buildings ;p

**Dyslexics of the world untie!!!

I have my suspicions that Mikhail had something to do with the abduction. After all he knew exactly when Feilong left the hotel. And he probably has some sour grapes from all the rejection from Feilong. But time will tell...
And about the big bad reveal, I keep seeing the character name Kouyama as I re-read vol.7. There's a behind the scenes character that we've yet to actually see and it's been a long time coming. Curiouser and curiouser.

Asami and Aki did not reunite at the hotel, but in a helicopter with Asami unconcious. Feilong however is in a hotel and hotels have windows. It may even be the glass door he left out of as he met Yoh. The location of the caption most likely due to editorial executive decision based on available space. The following panel of A&A most likely said the same thing but in Japanese. :)

I too have certain suspicions about Mik. But not regarding the attack on Fei and Yoh's car.
The clothes that the kidnappers are wearing are too similar to the clothes we've seen Aaron wearing for it to be a coincidence. Also the way Fei was kidnapped seemed impulsive, desperate and opportunistic. Fitting of a rebel attack.
Mik is too smart and calculating to act in such a rash way. I still think he loves Fei but I can buy the idea of him kidnapping Fei, to -forcefully- protect him from the danger of the rebels. But in that violent way? No chance.

In Japanese, it says "Tsurenai nē ...".
"tsunerai" - cold; indifferent; unfriendly; unsympathetic; unkind;
"nē" - indicates emphasis, agreement, request for confirmation, etc .; is it so (at sentence end)

"nē" at the end of a sentence is used in two cases:
1. Indicates the speaker's desire for the listener to agree with him - "right?", "Do you agree with me?" (in this case, the intonation increases by the end of the sentence - interrogative intonation);
2. the speaker's agreement with the above (intonation by the end of the sentence is reduced - "Hmm";

That intro panel (Akihito and Asami finally reunite!!!) shows Asami missing Akihito, possibly at the hotel where he stayed before leaving to Hong Kong. This bookends the final panel where Asami thinks "Akihito, it may be impossible to separate from you again." Notice the similarities of Asami's face in the intro panel and the final one.

They have plenty of room to add such a short caption of Asami and Akihito reuniting on the main title page. They won't plaster a totally different thought in a panel of Fei's because it would distract from the importance of what Fei just did.

In any case, whether it's Asami, Fei, Yan, or the actually enemy, we'll all see what we want to see.

But I'm right (￣ω￣)

Oh, thanks for the translation! :) Now I gotta figure out what is meant by it!

As long as we get to see plenty of smex it all works out.

Have a lollipop. :) because I'm right :P

Any thoughts on who was in the second wrecked car in the rain? I have ideas but nothing with viable clues.

I think it is just one car (from different angles)

I also saw there only the Feilong car, from different angles - BMW 7, it seems.
And, of course, the truck that rammed them is like a Toyota Dyna.

Here is Kouyama Shouzou (sometimes translated as Kamiyama): http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/you_re_my_loveprize_in_viewfinder/mh/v07/c036/11/

He's dead now; likely taken out by his Russian rebel buddies.

You have a good eye for car brands ^^

It's the same car. Having been "T-boned" myself, I can verify that the impact causes the car to spin (mine spun about 180°) which appears Fei Long's car did before hitting the building. If you look at the panel where they're approaching the car, you can see the rear end is also crumpled.

I've had a few accidents(got broadsided once just like Yoh) and witnessed wrecks too. One in particular had the vehicle doing a complete 360 before it stopped. So yeah, I can see this being the same car now, and now I'm worried about where/how Yoh is! Did he get out? Is he chasing them down on foot? Did the Russians kill him. I wanna know!

As for Kouyama, I think he's still alive since Aki's investigation in vol7 kept bringing him up.

It is two page spread. If you match with the panel beneath it makes the spread and you see that is Feilong behind Asami and Akihito. Then you can see Feilong's hair in both panels. Is not curtains because curtains would not go in both directions like his hair.

yeah... i really hope he makes some progress, and kick a bunch of butts later

.....

After further review, the ruling on the field is reversed...
