The reason why Goden only wants to save the 67 million humans may be that the other population would be needed as sacrifices to save the Mundus Magicus.
Regarding the reason the Mundus Magicus is unstable, I believe it's simple an issue of magical energy. It cannot last without the energy being recharged.
"The Heart of the Graveyard" may be something that converts live

The reason why Godel only wants to save the 67 million human population may be related to the instability of the Mundus Magicus.
As all magical objects or places, the Mundus Magicus needs to have it's magical energy recharged regularly. Magical objects on Earth may do it automatically because of the 13 sacred places lake the World Tree, but there are none on the surface of Mars.

@Zefyris: I don't think Kurt is trying to save MM humans at all. Note how in 266 Kurt says there are 50 million pure blooded mages living in MM, but says he wants to save 67 million humans.

I mentioned it earlier, but I think Kurt is trying to save the mages currently living in Mundus Vetus. It kind of clicked when he said 67 million, because that's the exact number of mages

LOL That explains everything. ^_^

Nothing as of yet.

"OK, what's specifically making you think that I'm close to the mark?"
He's surprised to see again that shadow, thinking that "he shouldn't have the strenght anymore" and immediately understand that something must have happened to asuna.
Which means, Rakan knows that there is a deep connection between the presence of the mage of the beginning and

@anachan:

Fair enough, but keep in mind that 1) there's a wide range of possibilities that fall short of "mankind's survival", and 2) the Japanese place a high value on understatement rather than self-promotion or hysteria. (Contrast with the US, where someone may say they're "getting raped" by a credit card company if they think the interest rate

2009-11-27T17:42:26.558-07:00

Hmm. Does anyone know why Negi has those darkish patches on him? Is it the ME aftereffects, or was the scanning just not done very well?

2009-11-27T18:31:05.080-07:00

@astro and zefyris

That doesn't surprise me at all. The way that aspect of the story played out with Chao saying she was trying to avoid a catastrophe, I figured it might have something to do with Mars and possibly even the loss of true magic.

According to Mana back in the Festival, Chao wasn't trying to avoid a catastrophe.

@Renzo -- That armor kinda reminds me of the armor Asuna wore during the Mahora Festival.

@Alex -- I think that's still up for debate.

@Anon -- Yes it is. ^_^

@Anon2 -- You're welcome and thanks! ^_^

@Zefyris -- And it looks like what chao tried to change in the past was the complete destruction of the mundus magicus.

2009-11-27T12:38:41.394-07:00

That armor Rakan has may be from his gladiator days. Also, Rakan may be thinking about "The Heart of the Graveyard sealed away with the twilight imperial princess" that the corrupt senator was asking Arika about.
As for Negi' side, he apparently refuses Godel' plans. He says something about 67 million, like that wasn't enough.

2009-11-27T08:47:25.574-07:00

Hey Astro, I've been meaning to ask why you're always calling these "spoiler" images? They're just preview images from the manga, to me that's more like a "teaser". They'd only be spoilers if they gave away the outcome and it seems the Japanese who post them normally like to tease instead of spoiling anything really major.

Did Negi and AA have a Plan B if things go south?

2009-11-27T08:48:24.135-07:00

@Alex: Personally, I thought it was that Rakan realized why Fate needed Asuna out of the picture, because she can nullify MoB's magic.

Well thx astro for these Spoilerpics i appreciate your effort in finding them. This is also my 1st comment on your block even though Im reading it for a year now, but for me it takes time to post in a forum/on a blog.

Now on topic

To say it with Rakans Words from the trumpcardbattle "Abso- Freaking lutely Brilliant" cant wait for the scan and the chapter following

Seems like raw for this chapter is already out.

Argh, damn it, most of the text is either too blur or too little to be read properly, I WANT TO READ IT damn it!

"Is Asuna the masked figure on first picture?
If Asuna is MoB that would be another thing some have guessed well."

->At the very least, there is a connection between asuna and that figure yes, and rakan realized it.
It doesn't looks like

2009-11-27T12:25:09.009-07:00

Well... Whatever.

I see, I see...
Now it became more clear.

About asuna, I'm guessing that the theory "asuna= mage of the beginning" is wrong, but, isn't that far from the reality.
Something like "the mage of the beginning doesn't have a real body anymore, but something like
