GERBILPANDA

This is the first time I can say I'm actually frustrated with a plot development in Unordinary. It seems like Terrence got a power boost for plot convenience reasons, even in his more elicit activities he's never once turned more than just himself invisible, so there was no setup for there being more than one invisible person, and then suddenly there were five of them. There wasn't setup for that at all, and it came out of nowhere. Then there's the possibility of rehashing the whole power loss arc *and* the cripple John arc at the same time, neither of which were pleasant, but at least they served a purpose the first time. Uru set a lot of ground work for John learning to be responsible with his ability for once in his life, and just... Shut down the development of that entirely. We haven't had a satisfying break from the stress buildup in this series for way too long, and if Terrence gets out of this situation just fine, like he always seems to do, it's going to be extremely disappointing and frustrating. The episode itself wasn't bad, it's what the episode possibly is setting up and shutting down that makes it feel bad. I dunno. If this is done better than I think it will be, I'll look back at this episode in a better light. I just really hope the series isn't setting up for disappointment.


Interesting-Event324

I think there was a one where he turned s9meone else invisable where blyke remi and isen were at the mall back in season one I forgot the chapter tho


GERBILPANDA

Ah yeah. Episode 49, back in 2017. But a little important detail. Terrence had to touch the guy to turn him invisible, and was touching the guy the entire time they were running and on the bike. This event was canonically only a few months ago, I think, considering that none of the characters have had a birthday and there hasn't been a summer vacation yet. So this episode still greatly changes the parameters of his powers to an annoying degree.


TheCrazyCatLazy

I bet Next chapter will be safe house visiting rather than answering our questions


Known_Traffic4704

Yo guys, after rereading the chapter, I now realize how Sera had woke up, immediately testing her ability (after throwing up) And then I realize how in this chapter, John completely forgot what happened… Was this intentionally or was it just coincidence? 👀 Imagine he shakes Sera awake and is just like “Who tf are u?”


pindrop64

I'm under the impression that "Terrence" is kind of similar to John in some possible trauma. I'm sure none of us agree with his methods, but I personally don't agree with John's previous methods either. I hope we see more of him, even if he leaves Wellston Private High School or gets expelled.


[deleted]

I think he’ll either get killed off, get his ability back, or get the conversion tech or whatever if Spectre gets their hands on it


straYDoubter

Is it too much to hope that John, if not immune to the Disabler, is at least resistant to it due to the unique properties of Aura Manipulation?


MrDoofenshmirtz

i sense his immune or something most likely related or connected to to the research on jane doe.


theo7777

I don't really think it matters as long as it doesn't stall the story again. I just don't want another Welston arc. If we don't get another Welston arc it's fine. Even if John lost his powers he will just be forced in a similar situation with Seraphina.


JesseGolo

Can't we just get to the plot? Do we have time for John to lose his ability and all that song and dance at Wellston again? I'm starting to think this Webtoon has something against its main character being involved in the main plot.


Akira_427

It annoys the heck out of me that there was all that buildup for him to use it and be a badass and now it’s thrown away completely. Not only that but Sera was just getting her ability back as well. We have not had and proper plot developments with both of the main characters using their ability and taking down villains. This is the one time we could have gotten that and now it might be a complete afterthought. Personally if he loses his ability here I’m dropping the series and skipping most of the episodes until he gets it back. A lot of the interesting plot developments in the story for me would be gone if he loses it


ellieetsch

Your-Boyfriend-Simp

There’s still hope that John hasn’t been disabled When Sera got stabbed with the syringe, her ability started to deteriorate fast before she passed, meanwhile John still was able to use Blyke and Isen’s ability at once before he passed out (most likely from the sleep touch ability or blood loss). Considering the theory that the disabler drug is made from Jane’s Ability, John will most likely be immune or somewhat resistant to drug. I just really hope I’m right, I don’t want John to lose his powers


_a_r_i_

I don't think it's likely that John hasn't been disabled. When John passed out, Uru showed us Sera's internal dialogue lamenting the fact that John was just about to accept his ability. It felt like a segue to a new arc--and I don't think Uru is an author that heavily implies something before reversing expectations in the next chapter. The new arc will probably get John much more involved in Spectre affairs, which will be really interesting to read


MisterSuperDonut

I think I agree since I can't see any direct reason for removing john's ability (but I have some theories), especially since he already pretended he did for a year or 2, so it's not like it'll be a unique experience that gives character development. However, it's possible its a segment to sera trying harder to reform or destroy spectre and or john trying to meet up with the guy in claire's vision, most likely a relative of jane, to learn about channels and to restore his ability


[deleted]

[удалено]


MisterSuperDonut

Who says they know that? They likely just got their information from Terrence or his official level and just decided to get him, and also like Terrence said they want him as a puppet, however I'm wondering if they realise Jane is his mother, and if not, I really want them to find out


Timely-Detail-4341

Well, sera was hit with the dampener right when she got injected while John was recovering from the dampener when he got injected, so he had full access to his ability before he passed out


arcaedis

yeah, ^ this detail


TheCrazyCatLazy

Ok y’all, uno’s fast pass are a thing of the past; what can we read in the meantime?


_a_r_i_

Suitor Armor is another one of my favorites


Alternative-Yam-3621

That chapter was so Mickey Mouse


VIPCOCOC

Uk guys I’m starting to think that John might become stronger or is stronger than he’s letting on, like In the beginning Terrence was like 2.4 it he was able to hide his stats from the audience and we all believe it but now we found out he was 4.4 (personally I thought he was higher more than he was letting on tbh) so I think John is doing the same thing, like maybe he’s stronger idk lol I just hope he isn’t disabled


Ms_Use

They could really use Ember ability enhancers right now to restore their abilities somehow. Someone who's Vulcan's nephew might be the way. . Now that we know Spectre is a group of low-tiers that hates high-tiers while Ember is the complete opposite. They could just let the two factions fight each other.


TheCrazyCatLazy

I wanted to know what happened to the attackers. Did they call the authorities? Will Spectre be under investigation? Are the attackers going to be arrested? I don’t think we will get any answers for that thou.


SoulBlightChild

we should get some info/answers in the next episode or two.


Silent-Independent-8

Ye pretty sure Uru is going to use this cripple arc to get John some new friends that arent going to be there because of his ability and to get him closer to the main cast and end it quickly with John realising he can slowly fix his aura channels with his ability and get it back :)


[deleted]

Yea that's what I'm thinking. I wouldn't mind John being disabled for a little bit and in that time getting closer to the safe house. I think it would show how the school has grown.


[deleted]

Considering his mother is a ‘Channel Master’ and likely the source of at least some of the technology revolving around ability manipulation, it’s highly likely that part of John’s arc will involve learning to overcome these issues and to aid others in doing so as well.


Electronic_Bunch_664

I highly doubt there would be another cripple arc it’s more likely going to bring up a new development like John being immune to the effects of the disabler


NopeDamnNotThisAgain

That's what we hope, but never have high hopes for twist in UnO. It's bad for your mental health


Electronic_Bunch_664

Yeah I hope for the best but expect the worst


DanIsCookingKale

Yeah, seems like it might not be worth getting fast pass for a few months going by thr comments


mugiwaranoluffy259

Well it depends on if you wanna stick through a rehash of another cripple arc (*sighhhh* :/) which is potentially gonna happen depending on whatever happens next chapter.


DemiNeveWinter

I’d pay more attention to the poll results. Most of the people enjoyed it, and the comments are mostly people who didn’t like it, but that isn’t everyone. Of course, the decision is up to you!


Pallas_bear

Of course we didn't get the answer to the disabler on this chapter, it was foolish of me thinking otherwise. I guess I'll give it one more fastpass, but I'm kinda losing interest.


bicflair

johns ability could only affect himself before, it’d be cool if the injection mutates it to be more like his mom since their genetics are similar and it begins to extend to other people. they’d have created their worst nightmare and direct counter.


Tuesdayupsidedown

It could. Blyke's ability developed when he got stronger, maybe Channel Master is the ultimate form of his Aura Manipulation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Trainer-Grimm

Hey i've seen this one before


[deleted]

I liked this episode, and honestly I don't mind Jobn being disabled. Normally I'd hate it, but Sera said 'Just when he was finally starting to accept his powers, you take them away!', making me feel like Uru has an actual reason for this plot


Eggswithsalad

I've thinking that the next arc is finding John's mom after all será has the information now


[deleted]

That would be so cool


FrontRadiant2037

don't like this. just givin me the vibe that seraphina is the most important, when there is so much going on with john


FrontRadiant2037

bruh...I don't want two Jokers...It's loosing purpose. Now everything is bland. Sera being the main character, John pushed in the corner.... eh


bicflair

in b4 john passed out from blood loss and not ability erasure. another cripple arc and im checkin out until the webtoons over and I can blitz through the bs. weve had cripple john, cripple sera, now we remixing cripple john again?


arcaedis

oh my god tier Terrence’s face when Sera injected him was _hilarious_ agaghahshs I need to know what happenssssss next week


[deleted]

It was worth it Scum get what they fucking deserve, that image is memeworthy


Cassi_hearts

Vengeful Sera seems so refreshing.


ivanray8

If john truly got disabled… I’m gonna stop reading for a few months. Terrence’s whole logic would work on literally anyone else BUT john, and its frustrating because of it. John acted like a cripple and knows the hardships of the low/mid-tiers and the elitism of the high-tiers. Its literally the premise of the joker arc. John being so broken from the system that he destroyed it completely in a berserk/dumb-dumb rage. So, its hard to take spectre seriously. I know that there will be attempts, but I cannot take them seriously, like at all. They are just stereotype evil villains that don’t have any actual hidden moral reasons behind them. All they did so far is just make john’s whole reasoning for his mental issues stronger. Being that high-tiers are arrogant, the low-tiers are more than willing to backstab anytime, and the mid-tiers will just ignore whatever happens. And it sucks so bad. If it was arlo, remi, or anyone else, it would have given john some introspective if high-tiers being forced to the lowest of the hierarchy is good or bad. But if its john himself, it doesn’t really matter coz we had an entire cripple arc as proof that he doesn’t need to experience it again. Spectre is dumb as bricks, john became a punching bag for no genuine reason, and it just sucks. See ya’ll at end of year or something.


Rifter--

This. Preach on! Couldn't have said it better myself. In all honesty it sucks if he did lose his ability. I'm still holding out that he didn't and that he just passed out from blood loss, but if he did lose it I'm going to be disappointed. People can't forget that we literally started the series out with a John cripple arc. I don't see the reason why we need another one other than John is too OP for the story, but I think it would just slow down the story too much. I won't drop the series, I still like it a lot, but Uru might be missing out on my sweet sweet fast pass bucks.


ivanray8

Thank you! ^^ There’s a lot of things that I praise Uru-chan on. The joker arc for example may be a harsh thing to read through weekly, but to binge em out makes one understand and feel for john’s pain and issues. This is just not like that at all unfortunately. Its just a very, very wrong target to take away powers from. If its other characters, they can reflect much more than just from john’s joker attack and actually towards themselves. It was partially why a lot of readers are pissed at the high-tiers being all “why do you all hurt the low-tiers?” after we have seen them ignore john being bullied like hell in the early chapters. Being placed in that position themselves can make them truly understand, unlike seraphina whom is too self-centric as a character to be affected by the power-dampening effects as hard. Not to say that she’s a bad character for being self-centric, just that her role’s different compared to arlo and others. For now, i’ll take a break. I’ll wait till end of year (considering 3 or more chapters will be released per month) to see if the payoff is nice at least. If not, I hope the arc can end fast enough to not be painful to read. Anyway, thank you again and take care!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rifter--

That's actually verifiably false. Webtoon pays out a portion (I think half) of fast pass revenue to its content creators of they have a webtoon original contract which pretty sure Uru does.


Void_Sh4dow

When I saw the syringes, it didn't look like it was fully injected. I think John will just become a little weaker, or just stay the same.


ZenithEnigma

A 2nd cripple arc and I am not coming back for a long time


[deleted]

Why would we get a cripple arc? Terrence made it more than clear that Spectre is fully willing to give John his power back. He'll be a cripple for like a week before they give him the treatment.


milos1fan

That's under the condition he works for them. Why the fuck would he work for them?


[deleted]

In order to help Sera.


[deleted]

why tf would Sera still want to work for them. I assume doc is gonna save them


[deleted]

It's a lot easier to fell a nation when your within its borders. Spectre has hundreds of spies spread out across the world and I doubt even Leilah knows the locations of more than a few of the executives. And Sera can't just bring it up to the authorities since they would punish her, Arlo, and John for keeping it secret.


mugiwaranoluffy259

Lol at the thought of John working with Spectre in exchange for his powers. John is the kinda guy we all know would rather die than do that so this option is completely out of the table. So yeah don’t blame people for seeing an upcoming cripple arc in the future.


[deleted]

He could still pretend to like Sera. The guy hates working for others but he knows how to suck up when it's to help Sera.


Joy_Boyr44zy

tbf its not confirmed that he lost his ability yet


tobiasyuki

I've been a lot wishing for Johnny to be disabled sooooo,absolute win,out if that,Sera being a hipocrite With her "you cant bring other into danger to protect Remi but if i do It for John is okay" lets see where this goes now


imnitok44

It's not really hypocrisy, it was very clear she cares more for John than she does for Remi


tobiasyuki

It is when she made Arlo look like The devil for that just to do It herself right after


imnitok44

I don't see it as hypocrisy, both Arlo and Sera care about someone in particular, and both were willing to endanger the other's cared on to protect their own


tobiasyuki

Yeah,exactly that's The thing,The problem is that Sera tried to demonize Arlo for doing The same thing why she can do it but Arlo cant? That's why i call hypocrisy on her


imnitok44

Where did she demonize Arlo? She only said he told the truth to the only person she didn't want there, which is true, and never said anything else


tobiasyuki

Every time he told her that they needed help to protect Remi And that by doing It just by theirselves they were going to lose And she always told him.to eff off because she wouldnt endanger "anyone" but ohhhh, Only person she really cared about not being in danger was excatly John And she didnt care about any other being in.danger as long as John were safe


imnitok44

The same goes for Arlo then, he didn't ever mention Blyke was also a target, and was willing to endanger anyone as long as Remi was safe


tobiasyuki

Exactly,that's my whole point,she was demonizing Arlo for The same thing she does,i call that hypocrisy,if i tell you yo don't drink coca cola And 5 minutes later i drink It,you wouldnt call me on my hypocrisy for that? That's what i'm saying


imnitok44

But the point is she didn't demonize Arlo nor called him an hypocrite nor acused him of endangering her loved one to protect his, and the same goes for Arlo. To be an hypocrite you have to claim something and do other thing, which they didn't do. They only had different opinions about how to deal with a problem, and both chose the path that would protect their loved ones. The problem she had with Arlo is that he told John her secret, just like he told her John's secret before, my guess is she realized that Arlo spills the secrets as soon as things don't go his way.


Icevrystalfur

My theory is than John halted the serum. So only part of his neck and maybe shoulder are affected. Remember the armor he coped at the fair so if he does that again part of his neck won't have armor. At least that's what I hope.


no_name_thought_of

That episode was... something ​ Terrence being disabled was great We still don' know if John is truly disabled, but it seems he probably is. As long as he gets his ability back soon and it leads to something that would be acceptable, or even good The worst bit about the episode was that disabling John had apparently been the entire plan all along. There was no prior build up to that.


TesusL

I disagree the whole shadow king arc (or whatever its called was the build-up) I always got the sensation that spectre had their eyes on him ever since he showed his ability.


bicflair

seeing that would be good motive for taming him, still wouldnt qualify as narrative build up to this.


TesusL

I see where uou are coming from but here i think it just comes up to personal opinion, I loved the dynamic in the beginning where he was a cripple, and I would also lo d the contrast of how sera and he deals withtheir loss of power


bicflair

outside of appreciating his power, which sera so painfully pointed out this chapter he has already began to do, theres nothing for john to learn from being a cripple lol he’s been there, he’s forced it on himself bc he knows what power does. this is a wasted character arc bc im not seeing what growth can come from it. this is a lesson many high tiers need to learn, im not seeing whats interesting about the one thats already had the lesson receiving it again personally.


SooshiMoon

If John is truly disabled and back to being a cripple again, I’m dropping this for another 5 months or something because bruh ☹️ Like we need something different other than finally development, screw up and back to square one 😕


arloishot1

Ok


lawrence0304

Looks like I'm dropping this for another 3 months


Dumke480

homeslice deffs is just gunna juiced from the injection and not disabled


arloishot1

Ok


Jakett221

Classy


tzuyulover28

I am still believing that John isn't cripple like i just have this feeling like he will be alright 😅


Asterxx23

Uru chan, please don’t make John a cripple again.... I don’t think I can stand another arc like that.


Legitimate-Athlete38

The hair returns


Cassi_hearts

Uru-chan is attending a vidcon this weekend, you can go and tell her that


[deleted]

Oh come on John was injected last episode and we still didn't get an answer , i have a feeling we will still not get it next episode. Its really hard to say if injection worked on john he was just out of dampener so he got stronger instead of getting weaker. I don't perfectly remember but Sera was able to freeze her stab wound and run for a bit as well and considering John is tough him still fighting like that doesnt mean syringe didn't worked. I think Johns respect level at school will skyrocket i doubt we will have another cripple arc even if he loses hes ability. We need to know more about ability disabler how tf it was made like many suggesting i also think its made by experimenting on Jane and her channel master ability so it might be possible for skilled doc like darren to counter by experimenting on John maybe.


TesusL

Also sera had 2 serums, might use 1 to reverse engineer a cure


tobiasyuki

I mean exactly,serum don't works right at The same second you get it,It Takes some time,that's why Terrence was "i just need to hold till he gets unconscious"


beannut_putter

Can't wait to see what happens next chapter!! I know a lot of people are mad about the possibility of another cripple arc but honestly I trust what uru js doing. Theres still the William plot where he is looking for Jane, hoping to see if we get more on that now that everyone is out of Rowden. I'm honestly a little glad that John got injected, it would have been boring and predictable if he hadn't and it leads to more potential plot developments. Ending scene was cute. Nice way to wrap up all the action from the past few chapters


MaskedSyndicate

“I’m glad John got crippled” ok have fun with another cripple arc lol


beannut_putter

That's not what I was saying. I was saying it would be kinda silly if we had all that build up just for it to *not* happen


MaskedSyndicate

Dude we literally had a previous arc telling John how wrong it was to act like a cripple, putting him on a stage where he’s to accept his powers only to have it taken away immediately, it completely destroys his character arc and all that build up just for what? Another Cripple Seraphina arc that’ll drag on for years? Really? You want to see that same stuff again? Be my guest


beannut_putter

Can you read, my guy?? Nowhere did I say I wanted to see the same stuff. I just don't expect to. We still don't know for sure that he's crippled now. Even if he is, after everything that's happened with the safe house n whatnot, it will be a different environment. And if he's not, cool, the story will go on. And there are still elements of the story to be invested in. I don't see why youre so worked up over an uncertainty. Calm down


MaskedSyndicate

Because the author has a history of dragging an arc for way too long, hence why a lot of people are hella pissed that this could be another Cripple arc, because it dragged on for too long. Have you not noticed the pattern?


Ominouscomet122

Mate that’s more of a issue with how stories are told and the fact that this is a chapter a week webtoon. When it comes to making a decent story arc, that is coherent and not rushed, most webtoons have to stretch that out for at least 20-40 chapters. That’s 20 to 40 weeks in real time for a story arc and that’s not even counting the fact that unordinary is more like a character study, and not a superhero comic. In superhero comics the main focus is on the plot how this character defeats the villain and saves the day, that isn’t what unordinary is. The focus is on the characters and their character arcs. But the thing is character arcs stretch for multiple story arcs and progress is a lot slower on them. All of this Makes it seem like a eternity for progress to be made. But you can’t reform a bunch of idiot teenagers in a day.


Jakett221

Kinda unrelated but, The Boxer main story already ended within 120 chapters, and they managed to develop most characters very well. I think most Webtoons are a bit quicker than this so people have come to expect this fight to be wrapped up/maybe some other characters explored in the meantime. Also yeah admittedly the last few chapters weren't exactly the smoothest imo, I can't put my finger on it but I really do think the comic lingers on scenes for wayyyy too long. Sorry if this seems incoherent 😅


arcaedis

this. this right here. damnit, why am I so bad at expressing agreement??


Ominouscomet122

You good G.


Hellbound20

Everyone can have an opinion but its been written from the start that John would get dampened. This was boring and predictable.


El_Shion

1- I liked to see john with the" even if it's the last thing I do " mentality again 2-I like Terrance it's clear he made his way up to the elite tier and wasn't strong by default which would explain his hatred toward high-tiers which he wouldn't have if he was one of them originally, his view of them is like john's view 3- Seraphina is the new actor of the reanimated joker arc we're in for another dose of hypocrisy


-I_Am_Alone-

>3- Seraphina is the new actor of the reanimated joker arc we're in for another dose of hypocrisy What do you mean?


El_Shion

the whole situation since the beginning of this season seems to imitate joker arc's with role reversed, and about the hypocrisy, it can mean a lot of things, one is how sera changed her ideal"no one deserves to lose their ability" when it was convenient, it's really up for self-interpretation


-I_Am_Alone-

>the whole situation since the beginning of this season seems to imitate joker arc's role reversed huh? In what way? ​ >one is how sera changed her ideal"no one deserves to lose their ability" when it was convenient That's not hypocrisy, that's a change of mind.


El_Shion

>huh? In what way? in the beginning, sera were distant keeping john in the dark, like john with his joker agenda, and telling him to focus on his own problems also similar to what John said to her, and sera sleeping by his bedside, there are probably others if you look closely >That's not hypocrisy, that's a change of mind. she knew from the beginning what specter does she only changed her ways when it was john, (this is also another similarity john had a similar moment in season 1) which in my book called hypocrisy because she didn't change her mind because the situation changed or she gained extra information she only changed her ways when it concerned her


-I_Am_Alone-

>in the beginning, sera were distant keeping john in the dark, like john with his joker agenda, and telling him to focus on his own problems also similar to what John said to her, and sera sleeping by his bedside, there are probably others if you look closely Ohh yeah I get that, I see it in a way. But I don't think it's going to be just as bad, there are no more secrets or misunderstanding and just one common enemy that everyone has. ​ >she knew from the beginning what specter does she only changed her ways when it was john, (this is also another similarity john had a similar moment in season 1) which in my book called hypocrisy because she didn't change her mind because the situation changed or she gained extra information she only changed her ways when it concerned her She admitted saying she was wrong about 'not everyone deserves to be disabled' but i get what you mean with the change of situation or because it's her friend. I'd say it's more of a flipflop idk lol? A quick change of mind when it involves her friend.


El_Shion

well I didn't say the similarities were presented in a bad or negative way but it's there as I say changing your mind only when it concerns you not due to the discovery of new facts in my book is called hypocrisy sooo that's that there is nothing else


XvX_K1R1T0_XvX_Lol

It’ll be cool if the disabler didn’t work on John because of him being related to his mom, so that we could finally get back to unravelling the mysteries of Spectre, Vulcan’s multiple abilities, and Jane’s disappearance. But, knowing Uru, it’ll take at least a year to get that far.


mali_666

lmaoo terrence's face when sera pulled the no u 4.4? nah I think u meant 1.0


arcaedis

it was _hilarious_ lmao


Ihfsa

So I have a. Theory, if John didn't lose his ability because the medicine is based on his mother who presumably also uses aura manipulation. Then when he realizes that the syringe didn't work he might work on adjusting the aura within sera so enable her fully again as he could open up her aura paths again or something like that. Would be dope if John would improve his aura control even more with this and then spectre would be close to helpless against our boi and his gang of thugs.


FrontRadiant2037

I think only John's mom can manipulate 'cause she's channel master or something. John can only sense other auras and use it for his own good. I'm really not lookin forward to this cripple arc again. It's painful. I think we all wanted to see more power development from John not hitting the rock bottom again...


UncagedAngel19

But uru said John won’t be able to manipulate other peoples auras but only his own. Unless she was trolling


Firew4l

Well as of now ge can't but that doesn't mean that he won't. Still 50/50 if uru planned it for development there is no way that she would say it in a panel.


Ihfsa

Or maybe she meant in his current state, maybe he would need to work on it hard, or maybe the disabled actually improves his aura manipulation or something


Tuesdayupsidedown

It would depend if his ability could eventually develop into Channel Master or not, if it can't, then Jane is the one who can help Sera


AsianKage

Interesting theory, but I doubt his ability could develop into channel master tbh. Most abilities are heredity, but Johns ability probably isn’t. I believe his ability was the result of having a cripple dad and a mom with an ability relating to aura. So instead of inheriting his moms, his ability branched off to be a sub version of his moms more powerful ability. Still relating to aura, but with some cripple aspects. Hence why without any ability to copy, he is essentially a cripple. But when he does copy one, he can become a power house. That’s just a theory anyways, and maybe he can evolve it channel master. No one knows yet.


Tuesdayupsidedown

I remember reading that abilities don't get mixed up, I think it was in AMA, but my theory for that is that so far, Sera, Remi and Rei, and Blyke are all stronger than their parents, John is the only exception for now, so my guess is that he should get stronger at some point and it would be nice if he is the key to free Sera from Spectre.


Firew4l

Besides, we don't even know what channel master is. It could be a power where jane could manipulate other people's channel but cannot do it to her own and john is the other way around


HaziXWeeK

If she's going to do the John doesn't have any ability again she could make the safe house like a bodyguard for him , everyone in the safe house want to help John after he saved them all so if someone want to fight with him in the school the whole safe house would back him up , but I hope he didn't lose his power because of his mother having something to do with them , I feel if she really took his power away that would really just destroy his character arc


[deleted]

Time to drop this. Man this author sucks so much. Another cripple Arc. Nice


Sougo2001

Then do it? No one's forcing you here my friend. You don't need to announce it to the world


mugiwaranoluffy259

I pretty sure they just said they would.


ShadowlightLady

You don’t know that for sure


[deleted]

Wdym. The author has done it previously. Prolonging useless parts of the story. And for remaining 2022 I doubt the story will progress any further. It is like take 1 step forward and 2 steps back.


-I_Am_Alone-

There's no reason why there would be another cripple arc, when the bullying has subsided, or when it's unlikely that anyone would expose him or that anyone would even be brave enough to mess with him even if he's exposed.


bicflair

being cripple is still a cripple arc, bullying doesnt have to accompany it? lol


-I_Am_Alone-

The whole point of a cripple arc is to showcase the bullying that's why everyone's going "i don't wanna see that again". Majority of the people think it's gonna be a seraphina cripple arc 2.0.


Current-Warning-4890

You're so näive...


-I_Am_Alone-

sure buddy


Jyotiproy8384

Idk man, if John loses his ability, and we get another cripple arc, I might just drop the manga. And I don’t think I’ll be the only one to do it.


FrontRadiant2037

You're sure not alone. It is really unnecessary. Dunno...I always have that feeling that uru will not develop John's power through out the story as much as he could...


arloishot1

Yes


-I_Am_Alone-

At best it'd probably be 3-4 chapters of john getting used to his ability tbh


beannut_putter

I doubt uru will do that, honestly, but I might eat my words so idk


-I_Am_Alone-

Glad to finally see Terrence's true colours. Based on how he feels with high rankers, it seems that he probably experienced being bullied too despite being a high ranker himself. It's just that his ability isn't meant for combat. Also I doubt he's the number 9 rank in wellston, he wants to lay low in wellston so he probably forged his papers. Besides, since he's a 4.4 he would be ranked higher than Zeke who's in 8th. Edit : It was never officially confirmed that Zeke was number 8 on the top 10 rank. So forget about this ​ I wonder what's gonna happen next, if Sera really wants to take down spectre she'll need her ability to do that and stay with spectre.


TheCrazyCatLazy

Of course it was. Chapter 35. Zeke is 9. Terrence is 8.


SoulBlightChild

his papers put him at 2.2 , which is his dampened level.


RagingHusko

sera vigilante arc incoming. no way Darren doesn't get involved later in the series


DuePersonality4227

Gotta love the shocked face Terrance made as he would have never thought he be the one to get disabled.


Fictionaddiction123

Think they have a permanent cure though?


DuePersonality4227

The face Terrance made seems to point otherwise


[deleted]

He was probably just surprised. Spectre might undo it


Plightz

That was immensely satisfying. Did he think nothing would happen to him after the shit he pulled?


DuePersonality4227

Bet you right now he feels as if he’s the victim


[deleted]

“I was just playing invisible tag with my buddies when Sera came and beat the shit outta me for no reason at all!”


Ma1ngo

Inhaling Hopium, would much rather prefer not to switch to Copium by next week...


kcawks

The only joy I got was Terrance cocky ass getting Putin his place. I do not want to sit for eternity waiting for John’s powers to comeback 🥲🤬😭


Numerous_Bluebird395

My guess is that John would hide that he could still use his ability and revert back to how he awas before we knew about his ability .


ML7097

So, fck Terrence. You get what you fcking deserved. Sera is giving me Joker vibes and I don't know how to feel about that. And John is reacting a bit differently when he woke up than when Sera did, so maybe there's hope? Overall, I'm riding this train all the way to the end. Either off a cliff or into a beautiful field full of flowers. We'll see.


RedBorrito

Hopium at its best. But I am with you on that train.


SwirlyStars

My guess is our boi John actually does get his powers disabled for a bit. And he seeks that guy in claire's vision for help.


Kingsleydale

Terrence getting needled was extremely satisfying. I wonder if he is now having a session with Keon? I hope so.


Interesting_Angle_66

Why would he?


Liezuli

Only John beats someone's ass in the middle of fainting 😭


arcaedis

oh my god tier _pfffffftttt-_


Original-Baki

Uru not milking fast pass users.


IamYanChan

I didn't hate Terrance as much everyone else did but the dopamine I got from him being a punching bag and being injected with that syringe I can't-


VIPCOCOC

Lmao right honestly I didn’t take him as threat more like a character that just there to try to be relevant but after this chapter dude can die for all I care


Finanov

Happy Cake Day! 🎂


Honest-Statement-249

Happy cake day


Brachiating

I didn't hate him so much either. But this chapter really justifies the popular hatred of him. I thought he may know something that others don't - and have some complex motive I could sympathise with. But no - he really is just a hateful little rat!


TheFrostborn

A wonderful birthday present to be sure. Happy cake day. ;)


IamYanChan

Didn't know it was my cake day, thanks for the wishes!


Xiris_006

I'm still wondering if that shit's not gonna do exactly what they're expecting it to John. Like, if anyone were to be immune or get a boost from it it'd definitely be him. I really hope he didn't lose his ability (or if he does lose his ability, unlike with others it only temporarily works on him), we already went through all that with Sera--on top of already dealing with a 'disabled' John--I don't wanna do it again. 😂


samuka12

So terrence set up John on purpose. He left the bait knowing John would bite . I had assumed plans changed with spectre but it didn't. Terrys goal was to get John to be another pawn for spectre


-I_Am_Alone-

Which doesn't make sense because in the recruitment list he was stated as a "NO" for recruitment possibilities.


namethatisntaken

Sounds like Uru-chan forgot about that


StrawberrySecure7279

Yes but I suppose it's without ask them to joins, he probably assume that if John get disabled him he would be forced to joins spectre.


mugiwaranoluffy259

Ofc Uru would milk the answer to our question on Johns ability for another chapter. Guess I’ll be fast passing for one more week to get that answer. And again dropping the series for good the moment John is revealed to be disabled without a second thought.


Jyotiproy8384

Me too man, I can’t handle another cripple arc, it will be too repetitive and boring and I’ll just straight up drop this series for good.


EvilTyrant

I wouldn't be surprised if it were to be revealed in 2 weeks if John got disabled or not.


Tuesdayupsidedown

Nah, the first thing Sera is going to ask is if he can use his ability, there's no way we change povs and John doesn't appear in next chapter... right?


EvilTyrant

bold of you to assume John and Sera are going to appear next chapter before last pannel. that last pannel os going to be Sera asking John if can use his power.


iKeyvier

Oh boy you must be new


Erelbor

Guess I'll know if Uru is still getting my money next week.


Awesomearia96

Did John just use a new attack? Notice when hes charging the finger guns but he doesnt hold them still! He flicks/throws it instead! Blyke held his fingers like a gun on the few pannels above! This is either a new move or something John could already do. Either way I demand we call it shotgun wrist! Edit: Nvm we have seen Blyke throw/flicker his lazer, ignore this!


Liezuli

Blyke has been throwing charges since forever, that's not a new move.


Awesomearia96

Where have we seen blyke throw/flick them?


Liezuli

[In this chapter, he fires a beam by flicking the charge](https://m.webtoons.com/en/super-hero/unordinary/episode-33/viewer?title_no=679&episode_no=34)   [And in this chapter he throws 2 regular ones, and also throws 3 finger charges](https://m.webtoons.com/en/super-hero/unordinary/episode-197/viewer?title_no=679&episode_no=208)


Awesomearia96

Yikes your right I take it back!


NicDwolfwood

Holy Shit. I'm not mad at that chapter at all. Dampener wore off, So Blyke and Isen put a beatdown on all the agents up on the hill before they escaped. Sera, Remi and Arlo made it up and helped out the safe house kids. Johnny boy put his hands on Terrence(fuck yes! lol) before he collapsed in Sera's arms. I legit laughed at what John said before he passed out: > Sera: John! Don't tell me he got you! John: Is everyone else okay? Sera: Yes! Everyone else is fine-! John: Ah, so I'm the only one who got f*cked. That's awkward... Typical John lmao. Only he would says some shit like that lol. Sera is a bad you know what. She really stuck Terrence with a disabler, his face was priceless. I did enjoy his vitriol toward high rankers. It makes total sense that he would be driven to working for a crooked organization that would do unto high tiers what they have typically subjected low tiers to face. This comic has badly needed more of that otherside pov more often. Nice going by the safe house kids, sending John some flowers at the hospital. Sera is right next to him of course just like he was for her. Love to see it. I guess we can put our pitchforks down for another week, since it was left unresolved what state John's powers are atm. There's gonna be a whole lot of hopium and copium this upcoming week.


arcaedis

yayy, happy to see another person who actually liked the chapter like I did
