This chapter me with a few questions Sakazaki goes for Asami first and not Sudo. When he sees Asami has been taken then he goes after Sudo. The guy with him sees Takaba and asks who he is. Sakazaki decides to take him too. Sakazaki works for profit who sent him in for Asami. or was he a cover for Maxim,or did the father pay him.

From all said there he works for Maxim and got Asami on his order
Considering that Sakazaki also once helped Akihito with the warning at the temple I suspect that Sakazaki may be trying to cover his own ass for when things start to come out about who he has done work for.
btw I know you prefer not having accounts but consider this Finder discord. I joined and it's a nice non-toxic place to discuss Finder. It has the option to delete the account if you wish. It's well and actively moderated. Much easier to have ongoing discussions there.

Finder has been viewed on this site 242131k times . It is one of the older from the early 2000 that is still putting out work, some have stopped. This fan page has been here even during the time when there was no chapter for an whole year. Posters still came to talk abt. this manga and share .Even after it become target of trolls it still held on . If they came here with out a chap. despite the trolls it must be because the care about this manga not how pop it is. In this arc Sensei took Asami off his throne removed from Jap. taking away some of his power (tells Takaba at the temple I can't protect you) He has been kidnapped shot If all that has been posted about this chap, is true what a bitter irony for Asami. For Takaba to be only thing that could maybe hurt him he would have to have memory loss since he would not do so with intent. This was well done. It will be interesting what she does with his character after this Asami and Takaba will be fine. does he return to Jap. and continue or is this a build up to get Asami and Takaba out of this life by the writer. time will tell.

So true and well written. This manga is like no other. Also, you are right. The author did took a bit of power out of Asami. Especially with this new Arc where we get to see his brother. He seems less powerful and mysterious as before. I guess that's we call a character development. It all makes sense in my opinion.

I've longing to see Asami drawn more like a character of flesh and blood and emotion and doubts. For my taste he often felt too much like a caricature, so over the top.
I hope he will be more realistic and we see more development in him. That we learn about his worries and past and what made him become that kind of person who tries to hide any emotion and any sympathies not only from others but even from himself.

After seeing the raws and reading the spoilers I have a number of theories about what happened. Theory # 1. Based on the fact that Sakazaki got his hands on both Akihito and Sudou, and that 5 months have passed, I don't think that it's Akihitio that Asami found in Warsaw. What if Sudou had plastic surgery to appear as Aki? They have the same body type and similar facial features so not many changes would be needed so recovery time from surgery could happen in 5 months. This would explain the seemingly strange behaviour from Aki when he sees Asami again. That desperate back hug looked more like Sudou and would certainly account for the attack with a knife. Of all the possibilities this makes the most sense to me so far.
After the fall, Akihito could not remember Asami at all and what he remembers at the moment - imposed by people who are his abductors. Look how he behaves with Asami, as if for the first time he sees an attractive man, and not a lover with whom for so long in a relationship and "Asami-san", usually the Japanese even spouses turn to each other, but Akihito might not remember the events of everyone and therefore turned with "san" as is customary in Japan to refer to everyone.
I have the same crazy theory !
As Sudou is a real psycho, he could have done plastic surgery just to put Asami in the big distress to be killed by the face of his beloved one. And that knife, it's the same kind of the one with wich he tried to kill Akihito in the docks. That's put my mind at ease becauseI can't imagine Akihito doing somethong like that. But I admit this theory doesn't answer all the questions like what Fei Long is doing ? And Mikhael, who is suposed to be in touch with Sakazaky ? Why Asami was taken by his family ? How Sudou could imitate Aki's voice? Where is Akihito ? Would he suddenly arrive like a knight in shining armor to save Asami ?
I have the exact same theory. I don't believe for a second that's Akihito. And Asami's brother is super fishy to me. He kept Asami in complete isolation, with no way of even contacting Kirishima. AND he says to Asami that their father wants him back (Asami) in the organization. WHAT ORGANIZATION??? I feel like papa Asami is right around the corner. God knows where Akihito could be.
Glad I'm not alone in my theories. So many questions to still have answered though. I really wanna know why Feilong, Kirishima or Suoh didn't have a guard at Aki's door. How did Asami's brother get him out of the hospital when he did have a guard. Are any of those who got shot actually dead, Yuri/Aaron?
LOL, that's yet another one of my theories. This is getting freaky, North. I read some Spanish translations of the scene with Asami and Alec (?) in the garden and Asami was saying how his father was a real piece of work. I really think Asami's father could be behind all this.
I don't know whether it's Akihito or not as I only saw the japanese scans translated in chinese (didn't do better XD) but I believe in this case that it would be more interesting to discover it's really Akihito and not Sudou in disguise.
As much as we know, Asami is quite silent about himself and the first time I remember when we had a bit of this thougths was when he was worried about Akhito taken by Feilong at Hong Kong (he wanted to take him back in his arms and get Feilong's dispute over with). I saw in the raws that we have finally more of his thinking and for me, we already know the questions that fill Akihito's mind, we already have his perspective and not Asami's.
If it was Sudou in disguise, Asami would turn back to his "beast mode" : angry, violent and desperate to find Akihito. But it was really Akihito brainwashed by Chernobog, Asami might have to be more careful and will have to avoid to harm his lover in this delicate situation. It would be like a good opportunity to discover more about his personality. Just my thoughts of the subject :)
As for me, like most of you, I will wait Yamane-sensei to continue (for me, she didn't and doesn't disappoint).
That thought also crossed my mind. His behaviour was more like Sudou but I think it’s just the the brainwashing because last we saw Sudou in the hospital bed he looked unconscious and he was seriously injured as well since he got shot and fell and we saw that Asami who similarly got shot and fell took 5 whole months just to get up walking and even then, still with a crutch. So, 5 months for Sudou to recover his health and undergo plastic surgery and recover perfectly is quite unbelievable. And on top of that his body was bigger than Akihito so all these signs point to not possible. However, this is a manga so it can happen against all odds. I personally hope not because that would be really super cliche and silly. If she wants to do that she should have done a longer time skip because all that in 5 months is just not believable.
I admit you're right but I won't totally close the door about the plastic surgery theory yet. In 5 months as Sudou was injured twice he could have become thinier.
But for the drama it could be interesting to have a brainwashed Akihito. I mean, Asami has just opened his heart to him just before their fall. Now he will have to deal with his beloved one who try to kill him and even if Asami manage to survive (I'm pretty sure of that), Akihito will despise him, telling him he is a enemy or (the worst) that Sudou is his savior. Asami will not be able to do like he usually does : he cannot use force or brutal sex to change Aki's mind. For the story, it could really become interesting because it will force Asami to tell Akihito's about his past, his family, how they meet each other (and beg for forgiveness about the rape at the beginning of the story), how their feelings start to change from lust to mutual love... And each time he will have to deal with an hateful Akihito who will deny all of it... till,at last, he regains his memories. Because we all know that sensei will never harm hard too much those two. I refuse to believe in that.

On Feilong's boat during his rescue Takaba picks up a gun and defends Krisihima. With a very determined look on his face he monologues to himself that he is not going yo take any more and shoots the gun. Afterward he tells Asami how shaken that left him. Takaba does use a gun (on the roof) to help defend Asami after the fight at the penthouse . When he gets to the temple, he tells the monk(Michiro brother to Souh) he is not sure if he has it in him to really use a gun. The monk goes on to explain the diff. between protecting what is important and just killing(something like that). Takaba begins to train. The next time Takaba holds a gun is in the helicopter to keep those men from taking them . The last we we Takaba using a gun was to defend Asami. Sorry can't post to the thread, it will be interesting to see how she deals with this.

I had been thinking of all those things too. With all the training that Aki got from Michihiro and that Asami had just been shot right in front of him I really hope that he at least hit a vital spot on Sudoh.
Eeeh, I don't really know how accurate Akihito was in Sudoh's shooting, obviously he got him, but I'm pretty sure this is not the last we've seen of him. Sakazaki probably saved him from the rubble. I just really wanna see Akihito shoot him again. XD
Sakazaki is an interesting character . He without any men, using his wits (and others) being in the right place at the the right time almost took down Asami, He said I wanted his place. That is why he took part in the deal. I agree wit you.
Hello northwest hahahahahha, thanks that actually worked. Your a genius in disguise.
Thanks and your welcome. It was bugging me that you couldn't reply to your own post.
So which option do you think is most likely for Aki's head injury. Memory loss, paralysis, wakes up normal, or my personal favorite, blindness.
Which of those characters who were shot do we think are truely dead? I think Aaron and Yuri are done, Sudou is questionable.
Keep making post and I'll do the same again. (●'◡'●)ノ
When Takaba awakens and he is left with some lingering short term problem, blindness would have more of an impact bec. of his profession. The "sleeping" Takaba does not know that Asami is alive so perhaps he must bring Takaba back to the waking world. Yuri is gone. Sudou no body found. Aaron if it was not a head shot she could always claim he was wearing a vest. (remember Yuri and his strange survival story).
I really hope there is no surpritse survival of Yuri. Mikhail seemed very confident that he was dead this time so I'm assuming he watched carefully as his bullet hit his mark. The one thing that gives me hope the others are also done is that Feilong had his men sweep the building to find A&A so anyone else should have been found as well.
And I would love to see the story include Asami helping a tarumatized Akihito to deal with temporary blindness.
btw, there is a cute short fanfic from Asami's pov about waking in the hospital you may like. (if you haven't see it already)

Thanks .I love that writers work, I will read it later. I can see the attraction of an attentive Asami caring for Takaba .
I hadn't posted much in recent months so only just noticed this, you can't reply to your own posts anymore can you?
It seems like MangaGo stopped Anonymous accounts being able to reply because there were so many trolls on the site arguing with themselves etc, I know I even reported it at one point. But now they reply with a new thread and it's super retarded. Takes up the whole page Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
Can you reply to this? We can test it with account holders :D
This one I can reply to. Account holders still have the option to allow anon reply when creating a new post.
I'm relatively new to all of this. Though I have been reading Finder for a while I haven't been following any comments or forums or anything, and was not involved in the fandom. So I didn't realize how toxic this whole environment is until like 2-3months ago.
Since then i've been talking to a few people about it who are pretty neutral in all of this and witnessed much of this unfolding years, years ago.
To me it seems like the main problem is just some few VERY, VERY noisy people who might have stopped accepting Finder as a work of art and fiction, and started to identify too much with the toxic elements of it - probably without even being aware of that.
I guess the whole thing is actually a psychological matter which isn't even funny or could be taken lightly.
And others are annoyed by those people and react accordingly.
It's rather sad, actually :(
I really don't get it how people can claim to love the story, while at the same time wishing parts of it to disappear or ignoring them alltogether, because these don't suit their taste or cater to their interest/ship.
It's like trying to blend out huge parts of what makes this story great and what has been the actual plot just because you require it to be ALL about the one thing you like in it. But stories don't work like that.
If you take away the plot, if you take away every other character except those you are interested in (and it does not matter which of all of them that would be in this matter), Finder would have been nothing but 10 chapters of porn, exchangeable and short-lived.
It's the stakes and the obstacles in any story that make them great.
But if all someone wants is porn, they should probably better stick to 2min videos on youporn.
┗( °﹏° )┛
Welp it's what the internet brings out in people I guess - anonymity releases inhibitions and means you can be a total penis without consequence.
It's a minor annoyance for us but for them I GENUINELY feel bad, because it's not a healthy thing to do, and as internet usage rises amongst young people I think that explains the growth in trolling (Immaturity + boredom = nothing good). This fandom and this site were SUUUUUPER fun up until a few years ago. That's my theory anyway (≧∀≦)
am a member of one "group" of Russian fans who mainly love Feilong and pour mud mainly on Akihito, and if they don't like something about Feilong, they immediately remove access to this "group". I never wrote anything about Feilong there, but having stood up for Akihito, I was adequately removed from this "group". What inadequate people who do not understand that this work is entirely the author's imagination and it goes at the request of the author. What's the point of writing disgruntled comments and fighting if they do not affect the plot, all the more to assert how it should be in reality. Sensei never said that a pretender to reality, in this work, everything is unreal. Sensei has a reason to make the heroes the way they are, no matter how we dislike it, but it is certain actions that reveal the heroes the way we want them to be, perhaps in other conditions it will not work.
So glad the site is back up. Don't do that to us again. It's too traumatic!
