....Yea. Anyway, this chapter starts off where the last one left off, with the modern-day Yamato coming across Ultimo in an antique shop. We also find out this is taking place after the one-shot, when Ultimo got knocked out and landed on a mountain. As soon as Yamato goes near him, Ultimo awakens and starts talking about reincarnation and time travel...and then a few pages later a bus is cut in half. Okay, maybe it didn't happen that fast, but that's what it felt like. Ultimo spouts off all this information and Yamato, much like the reader, is left dumbfounded. Yamato and his friend leave, and get on the aforementioned bus. Vice appears, cuts the bus in half, then he and Ultimo face off yet again.
There's talk of masters and such; apparently the Karakuridoji need someone to be their master and Vice seems to have found one. All the stuff Ultimo was talking about seems like it could really be interesting. Time travel and reincarnation could make for some good stuff, but not when you talk about it for a few seconds without explaining much. I'm sure they'll eventually slow down and elaborate on these things, but for now, they aren't. Ultimo and Vice fighting each other still looks cool, but we've seen enough of that in the first chapter and the one-shot, so by now they should give it a bit of a rest for some story. Peeking ahead, it looks like other Karakuridoji will appear, which is a great thing. You can't have the same two characters fighting each other over and over again. Like last time, there's still potential for a cool series, but it's not quite there yet. But anything with buses getting cut in half can't be bad, right?
