That doesn't look like adult Yue to me
Damn you, overlap

[borisdrakoni]

What’s with the flower? Is that actually Ehito, or is that supposed to be post final battle Yue? Although I don’t want to read too much into it, another point of interest is that none of Overlap’s preview material referred to this as the final volume despite it being the end of the main story.

Maybe as one of the 2 insert colour illustrations?

[Huh...?]

First colour illustration of v13 is out, and as expected it's Adult Yue (though in this case it's Ehit inside)

[sierra117]

Dem melons looks quite massive, even comparable to Tio

[cyberdemon]

Yue gets everything. Magic, power, a smoking hot body so easily. The rest had to work for that lol

She basically ends up as a layabout NEET in exchange, though.

[Lex79]

She is hot, for sure. That should become her default form.

[Kamijou Touma IB]

After seeing that picture of Adult Yue, you have to wonder what Hajime will say.

She likes the smaller form for sitting on his lap

Get the feeling that the "Extra Chapter" is going to cover the return plot from first two chapters of After Story, or maybe LN original content about Kousuke's journey.

Could be, or maybe it’ll show the girls’ post final battle struggle to obtain bride status since the extra chapters tend to focus on the heroines. A part of me kind of wants it to be a Miledi chapter since the end of Zero teased us with the premise of reincarnation.

[Huh...?]

@borisdrakoni: And what do you think the "Characters Introduction" would have?
Would it contain closure info for the characters that had appeared throughout the Series, like what happens with XXX character after the Climax, etc

Well, the Starting Chapter of After Story, which covers the return of Hajime & Co., is partly from the focus point of Hajime's parents covering there 1 year search for Hajime.

So, the "Another/One More Epilogue" could also mean the epilogue of the journey of Hajime's parents.

Honestly, I think the characters introduction would probably just be a reworked version of WN 122 that will list all the characters who appeared in the series from start to finish with a brief description. Maybe updated with all the main characters' final statuses.

The only issue I have with the extra chapter focusing on Hajime's parents is that they haven't really been a key component in the series up until this point, so ending the story(and potentially the publication if the after story isn't picked up) with what essentially amounts to their introduction just feels a bit off. To WN readers, Sumire's and Shuu's story certainly has impact because we've gotten to know them through the after story, but the LN audience's only exposure to them has been through a couple of bonus shorts and Hajime's flashback in volume 10's extra.

Not that I wouldn't like to see Hajime's homecoming, but extra chapters have always been LN original content, so I'm expecting something new. This one seems kind of short at about 14 pages, so it's hard telling what it will cover. Who knows, maybe it could even be something from Ehit's perspective and give us some more background on Derris-Khar... *cough* Calamity World.

[cyberdemon]

I’d like like that extra epilogue to be about other named class members being reunited with their families. The first epilogue being hthe first 2 chapters of AS

[RDNexus]

Actually not expecting such news...
Arifureta Season3 Announced xD

EDIT: Oops, didn't know there was a thread already ^^"

[borisdrakoni]

Saw that this morning, but I’d rather wait on an official announcement since that visual apparently came from a leak. Maybe Overlap was planning to release it during tomorrow’s OVA screening and talk show.

[cyberdemon]

Interesting. Glad to hear but didn’t think possible with all the cuts to volume 2 in season 1. Gonna confuse a lot of anime only viewers. Hopefully we get another 2 seasons after and close out the series. Heck they could do it in 1 more season if they go all out with a 24 episode finale season.

I actually don’t think it would be all that hard to adapt volumes 7 and 8 even with all the cut content from volume 2. Season two already demonstrated how it could retroactively introduce missing characters and whatnot via a few minutes of exposition and then move the story along. Season one did at least touch on the discrimination against beastmen, so the Haulia’s conflict with the empire could be established in the opening scenes when Hajime’s party first reunites with them. Similarly, Altena’s introduction and the Haulia’s recounting of events could also be used to fill in some of the missing pieces on Verbergen’s side.
