Thanks Oliver for the 193 summary (your the same Oliver from the MGS2/Xenosaga gamefaqs's boards, right?), I went back to the US for xmas break and by the time I got back last night they only had 194 at the bookstore, so your summary helped me out (Although it turns out the 1 chapter I miss is the one where you finally get to see griffith do something :( ).
Well, 194 is an interesting yet kinda short (but long in pages) chapter. It starts at with Mule and Sonya meeting kushaan (general??) who had long dark a hair with strange almost glowing eyes (doesn't look human). A long conversation between him and Mule follows (this is mainly a dialogue chapter). Soon after Sonya leads Mule into a dark forest which is possibly griffiths base for now, and Mule sees hundreds of demon warriors standin around, some eating people, and he freaks out. The one of the monsters picks up Sonya and says he wants to eat her, and when Mule grabs his sword he's grabbed by another monster that holds him. Suddenly the dragon knight (named as Granbeld, not sure if we knew this already) grabs the monster hold Sonya and forces him to drop her, then the crazy demon bow archer (named as Avian [sp?], not sure if we knew this either), shoots the one holding Mule which sets him free. Mule recognizes Granbeld's name and you get a picture of Granbeld from pre-griffith days standing on a pile of bodies. nice little conversation with some comedy between Granbold, Mule, Sonya, and the demon who wants to eat human flesh. Continuing on through the forest they reach the exit and a bouncer style zodd is waiting outside to block anyone from continuing, Sonya says she brought Mule and the pass by Zodd. Mule's eyes fixate and then the last page is a teaser of griffith sitting atop a little hill on a tree trunk with spirits flying around him. To be continued...
Is it just me or is Miura ending like 75% of his chapters with a 1 page teaser of griffith sitting or standing somewhere. At least we got some nice little conversations with Griffiths crew, that shows they have personalities, and may become interesting people like the hawks were.
hopefully Oliver or someone with a good kanji knowledge can mention if anything important was said during the conversations in the chapter.
