I smell trouble in the air, don't you?
P.S. About the Leonard image - let's not jump to conclusions until we have text to back up images. He could just be going through a Yukishiro Enishi (RK) phase, or it could be another case of abnormal [EDIT]Whispered[/EDIT] behaviour like Kaname exhibited in COMO.
Having said that, though... since his coat is off, Kaname could floor him with one hit. And we can all predict what hit it'll be.

The third picture... Can't say for sure. The frightened woman is quite possibly Mama Testarossa, which means that the wide-eyed, oblivious kid's a toss-up between Leonard and Tessa. But,
1.) According to spoilers, this chapter brought up Leonard's reasons for joining Amalgam.
2.) An earlier short story (refer to Jae's Dragon Magazine, Jan 2006 scans) had Tessa with her hair in a braid.
...I'm leaning towards Leonard being the kid.
Now, the truly important question... is that MAO in the fourth pic?

Hmmhmm...
I'm not that good at interpreting pictures, and the picture with Kaname and Leonard definately has me challenged...I mean...he's clearly manhandling her, for whatever reason...I'm not sure what to make of his gripping her wrist...is it because he's trying to incapacitate her? Her shoulder seems constrained because of the way he's gribbing her, or perhaps it's because she's struggling...
Look at the size of his fist compared to hers...it's huge!, and his jawline is pretty square in this picture, and his nose seems almost snout-like. His hair is in a lot of motion which signifies a struggle, it also seems more spiky and sharp. And is it just me or uhm...isn't that picture awfully bossom-centric?
Anyway, what I'm getting is Leonard showing anger and rage, as well as trying to control and dominate Kaname, but he does not appear to be trying to violate her sexually. She on the other hand feels threatened in a sexual way by him, and does her best and bravest to try to resist, not just to retain her freedom but her dignity as well...I think the fight is about something different for the two characters.

Is it just me, or are there way too many talking decapitated heads around these days?

Yeah, he actually looks a little more like Kurz, doesn't he?AEmer wrote: Look at the size of his fist compared to hers...it's huge!, and his jawline is pretty square in this picture, and his nose seems almost snout-like.

In any case, whatever his motives, give 'im the knee anyway!
Who knows what he's thinking. It could be that he is simply frustrated and angry that Kaname has not succumbed to his charm and is still thinking of Sousuke. Apparently she has become more resolute about being resistant to her captors (however passive aggressive the manner might be), therefor Leonard might just be fed up with his Mr. Nice guy not winning her over since Tessa has already indicated that he is used to getting what he wants. His patience must be wearing thin at this point. Maybe this picture shows him finally snapping. And Kaname is a strong girl, but as this pictures shows, she's just no match for his strength from size and stature when he gets physical. Considering his confessions of attraction to her, her clothing situation, and her current position with him, she clearly must feel vulnerable, (with good reason). I agree with Weltall on what the next picture should show her doing. We can only hope that's what she does, although in the end, I don't think that will result in a happy fate for her. Hopefully Leonard regains his composure before he does anything since I have a feeling Sousuke won't be crashing through any windows in the next little bit to rescue her. (However much we might all want that to happen.)

I can't wait to read the translations, whenever that may be. If I had the time I'd be learning Japanese, but I work full-time in the medical field, I have a husband, a new puppy, and two kids, and I'm trying to write a sci-fi novel...
Rant aside, I too wish that Kaname would put her foot right where Leonard would like it the least. It's high time we some the old Kaname again. I've been missing her. And if he does do anything to her, then Sousuke will be sure to kill him slowly and painfully. I can't wait to see how Gatoh ends the series. I'll be sorely disappointed if S and K don't end up together. I still haven't gotten over Van and Hitomi being seperated on Escaflowne, and Amuro buying the farm in the Gundam novels. I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Too bad they don't have the next set of pictures (the one with the boxingglove on a spring)

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

On a good day, a Tomahawk can fly into the door of a two-car garage at the distance of several hundred miles. And that can ruin your whole day.

More info on the same site as the pictures giving a very brief idea of what is going on in the pictures. It says Kaname offended Leonard during a conversation and he is recalling his past. So it is rather anger/frustration, but probably because Kaname hit a sore spot with Leonard and he feels misjudged unfairly. Therefore he reveals his past.
I can't help but think that any resolution will not end with Leonard's death. (At least not death at the hands of the "good guys"). Whereas most of the bad guys in FMP have either lacked a past, or confirmed the evil in their past, Leonard's memories and background are meant to evoke empathy and tragedy. (Gathering from the pictures and what little information we have been given and making an educated guess.) Of course this sets him up to be redeemable, unlike say... Gauron who's past only reaffirmed our views of the man and the need for Sousuke to defeat him. And even if the audience does not empathize with Leonard, you can be sure Kaname will to a certain extent, thus she will not stand idly by if she sees him facing death. I don't think Sousuke will get his wish granted and kill the smarmy bastard. Maybe he'll just rough him up a little before Kaname steps in. That's assuming things even get to a showdown between the two, which I hope.
Now if you read more of the summary, it says Sousuke draws closer to the mansion. As in... the mansion which houses Kaname? If so, what is he currently piloting? It's not anything special right? Therefore, how the hell is he gonna have a showdown with Leonard's Belial, when he couldn't even defeat Leonard when he was in the Arbalest? Correct me if I've got my facts wrong. This just seems to be moving too fast to make the climax happen in the end of this book. It seems too rushed. We still have to figure out what is really going on with Kalinin, how Mithril is gonna get its act together and play a role against bringing down Amalgam, and who (and where in the world) Mr. Gold is (what is he doing?). Maybe Sousuke needs to rescue Kaname, then head off to finish Amalgam. But that just seems to be an odd order of events in my opinion. Well, too many questions really. Anyone else have thoughts on these things?

Hi there.
I came here through Animesuki and just wanted to join in.
Sousuke is getting close to Leonard's mansion, if I'm not mistaken.
Also, he's piloting an M6 Bushnell.
Someone at Animesuki mentioned that this would be the time that Sousuke should get an Arm Slave upgrade if this were a Gundam story.
Didn't Kalinin secretly recover the RX-8 after he had scuttled it on Leonard's orders?

He's taking on /defeated? 3 Codarl-M's (Venoms) piloting that M6A3, I assume his motivation got a little higher.. Or the good old Cliche that what didn't kill him, made him stronger.
@T.V. Welkom in het gekkenhuis.
