RG Veda 4
Posted: May 5, 2007 Filed under: RG Veda Leave a comment »This one was much better coherency-wise than the last. The volumes have fallen into a pattern of one big event per volume, so this time around demon Aizenmiyu gets her fifteen minutes. There are several main plot points, such as Kujaku revealing something of his true nature, Ashura getting officially introduced to the Shura sword, and another appearance by dark Ashura, and these are all good things.
It does move extremely slowly, though. Certainly there is a lot of action, but again, a lot of it seems to just be wandering from place to place. Kujaku gives them some direction, but the story still is just a broad “take down Taishakuten” goal without any how as of yet, and even little things, like the betrayed Karura seeking them out to join the resistance, have not happened yet.
But the ending. The ending is good, you see, because Yasha and Ashura… you know.
