Halloween and scheduled downtime

Filed under: Random — Starks at 7:24 pm on Tuesday, October 31, 2006

First off all, Happy Halloween folks…

Secondly, seeing that our friend is slightly late with scans tonight, I'm taking this opportunity to do a bit of scheduled maintenance (software upgrades, site and database backups, bugfixing, and perhaps new features) on the site. Don't panic if shit starts to look funny, everything is under control. This shouldn't take more than an hour.

UPDATE: Site backup, database backup, and upgrade to Wordpress 2.0.5 was success. Sorry for the 5 minute hiccup. Furthermore, pay no attention to the new forum button (for now at least)… I'm just tinkering.

SECOND UPDATE: Chapter 480 is unofficially delayed.

Finally, for those of you who are simple dying to know what happens in chapter 480… Continue on to page 2! (Spoilers are now more friendly to those who read this site through RSS/Atom web-feed readers. Thanks to Anticbiotic for pointing out the flaw which I promptly corrected.)

Ah, so she does die after all. And on Halloween. Ha, sort of appropriate.

Damnit, I'm watching the site through an RSS feed and it showed the spoilers…

My apologies… You're the first person to ever tell me that they use the site's RSS function.

I'll make the post less spoilerific for RSS readers.

I already posted this in the preview comments, but I'll put it here too…

I’ve heard it confirmed, Kanna dies in this chapter. She commits suicide on the order of Naraku, so that her shards can kill Inu-gang. (doesn’t work of course)One shard goes into Kagome’s eye however, and Kanna tells her of the light of purity within the Shikon Jewel, that this is the way to destroy Naraku. This is her last words, hence the title.
Goodbye Kanna, join your sister in her freedom…

Naraku! You’re days are numbered, slimeball!!!

Huh, I don't even know what an RSS feed is. *stupid*

Aw…poor Kanna. ;_;

However, I could care less about Kagome…No offense to Kagome-lovers, of course. ^_________^

Now Inuyasha is mad because he could not protect Kagome, and she become a pirate.

If people don't like a character, why do they feel it is necessary to rudely bash the character, and then say "no offense" as if that makes it okay? Keep it to yourself.

Kanna is dead? Sooo, another one bites the dust….sorry, I just had to say that. But I AM upset that that bastard told Kanna to commit suicide, and right when she was about to switch sides too. I sware, sometimes I think he cares about his minions as much as I care about Kagome looking like a pirate. Who knows, it might give her an attitude adjustment…. No offense meant towards Kagome fans, or Inuyasha's bad taste in girls. Offense was meant towards Kagome and a small, tiny weeny bit was meant towards Inumomma. Small bit.

haha! LOL really, sorry bout my snappish last post..im still coming down from a hellish sugar high from raiding my daughters trick or treat bag while I was "Inspecting" the candy ahhheemm..those mini candy bars are also so suspicious looking :-P

My other username was better…I tried to be cool with a Japanese name..Dog Freak, cause I am so addicted to InuYasha…and ended up with something that mean Dog Deformity. UGH!

I really do dislike character bashing, except Naraku, then I say open season. People get so mean, particularly about Kagome and Kikyo when really both have good points, bad points and points that make you want to rip your eyeballs out when you read them. It's just that people take it WAY too far, Ive seen some NASTY fights break out between Kag fans and Kik fans. Its stupid.

If the Diamond Spear attack didn't scratch any of them, why would Naraku think a couple pieces of glass would do the trick?

I'm a little surprised that Kanna literally blew up. Not surprised that she revealed the Jewel's point of light. And not surprised that she did willingly die at Naraku's command.

…although I am a little confused why she literally wouldn't hesitate to explode, and yet, moments later, betray Naraku so completely. If the Inu Gang had talked to Kanna a little more, and she hesitated before she exploded, then her revelation would make some sense.

Poor Kanna.

I hope her explosion gets animated someday…

He wouldn't but like Miroku said, Naraku had no more use for Kanna anyway so what the hell.

Yeah, I just saw the chapter, Alberto, and you're right. It really was cold of Naraku. It looked like the main motivation might have been his anger at the Inu Gang's kindness towards Kanna, rather than a real hope that she'd actually kill any of them.

Well he did have the element of surprise, there was a chance someone could have been injured or killed had they been standing in the wrong place.

Yeah, I like that theory.

So…
With that shard in her eye, could Kagome see where is Naraku?
