Well, it wasn't much of a surprise in all honesty.

The last few chapters had hinted towards The Emperor using his own Teigu, not to mention it even showed him trying to control a massive figure and telling Honest just how powerful it was.

Still, before all the hinting, I imagined the manga would try to go a different direction. I knew that the Emperor would still put up a fight once the Empire was attacked, but I was hoping it was going to be something different than the anime's Shikoutazer. Yes, the Teigu that The Emperor is using in the manga has an altered design and is shown to fire from its chest, different from the anime's Shikoutazer, which only shot energy beams from its forehead, mouth, and from its sleeves.

As much as I'd like The Emperor to be the final enemy, my bet is on Esdeath taking that role. Her power honestly seems limitless, to the point where Tatsumi with Evolved Incursio is still being toyed by her. The two clashed in the latest chapter and the previous one, but it looks like Esdeath wasn't even pushed very far. Either that means that more members of Night Raid have to fight her at once or if Incursio needs to evolve once, well, that's anybody's guess.

Which brings me to the question that interests me more; will Incursio evolve again? To either fight the manga's 'Shikoutazer' or Esdeath and stand a chance, it really looks like Tatsumi needs another boost. I wouldn't want the evolution to look like the anime's version, but at this rate I feel like Incursio might evolve one more time.

Not golden and flashy like the anime's evolution, I'm personally not fond of that one, but wings could definitely help in the situation Tatsumi is in with the manga.

Any thoughts?
