at this point i can't tell if caring for his shield made him resonate more with his weapon or it just became a debuff

this is why kids are told to always be careful with who to make friends with

ohh so still kaneki huh

Question: is Ren's hair still white? or did I miss it turning back to black?

Congrats to reaching 500 chaps!!🎉 Btw, I'm loving the connection and character settings between the Demon King and other Ren

so he knows how to wear his tie now

never let them know your next move

man ain't the reason he's a simp

Guess the fact that the evil Ren found this situation as predictable corresponds to the reason why he gave hints to our Ren regarding his memory of his 'author life' being possibly fake.

I was actually waiting for the reaction of ren's parents to ren's fight as I imagined that they were watching the tournament too. Did I miss that from the previous chapter? is it yet to come? or will it ever?

RIP, you wont be missed

is this one of the side effects alongside the mindset of seeing people as mere chess pieces? the one hinted to have stemmed from the monarch's indifference?

just a thought, but what if the evil ren that the author ren met, somewhere in some timeline, had used the monarch's indifference and is still under that? maybe the goal that he set just wasn't achieved up to this day that's why he's constantly under the influence of monarch indifference and therefore, can't take control of his own actions. Resulting to him being the 'evil' ren that the mc met?

the plot thickens

i think it was mentioned that Ryan is the other bishop. I don't know about the other though..
