Astessa

If I had a fan-fiction, it would be Astessa

She is older than him, younger than Sister Lily, though. Asta compliments and says he's never seen her look that good when she dressed up as a nun.

Their teamwork is awesome, and they share a lot of time together on the battlefield. More than Magna, Luck, Noelle, Charmy, Gauche, Nacht, Zora, Finral, Grey, Gordan, Nero, and Henry.

She is sweet and funny!

Even Vanessa was willing to sacrifice her freedom for Asta. And Asta was willing to fight the Witch Queen for Vanessa. ❤️

The only reason the Witch Queen did it after Noelle said something was because she didn't want to listen to her simp about it for 100+ episodes.💀

Their defeat was inevitable..

..it's fun watching shippers look so helplessly defeated in Western/International Countries because they don't understand manga, nor do they know how to properly read the medium that comes from Japan.

They will never learn. 😭

Well, at least they have their imagination. 😄

Yuki Tabata is a Legend

..and it didn't even make the cut for the Guidebook! 😭

Turns Out, There Were Trees in That Forest

When you subtract 13 from 392, since page 13 was the last page Mimosa was seen, you land on 379. And when you overlay both images, the title lands on her panel. Also a part of Salamander underlines the word "peace" from Nero's text bubble. Both Mimosa and Asta's left hand are omitted from the panel. Do you know why? 💍

Mimosa's profile is the only one in the Guidebook who talks about her love for Asta.

Much like how Licht and Tetia's love for each other grew all those years ago.

_____________________________

When you subtract 19 from 392, since page 19 is the last place Noelle is seen, you land on 373, which, when you overlay both, the title from 373 lands on her panel.

Noelle's profile in the guidebook, regarding her feelings for Asta, has been completely scrubbed out. There is "nothing" there anymore.

Structural Mirroring Cypher

I tried to warn you. Should have gone back and reread. You should've done it. Should've done it. Should've done your homework. 😈

You wanted a straightforward answer, well too bad. That isn't how the Mimosa pudica plant and Mimosa flower function.

The True Ending

Chapter 392 omitted Mimosa Vermillion's peaceful panel and placed it somewhere before the final chapter.

Mimosa was last visibly seen on 13/21

Chapter 392 - 13 = Ch. 379 (Absolute Messiah)

Lucius was the Absolute Messiah that was trying to bring about his version of True Peace, which ultimately failed. True Peace can only be achieved through human imperfection.

Why place Mimosa's peaceful panel this early? The reason Yuki Tabata placed it there is to show what what True Peace looks like before the characters earned it in the narrative.

The characters on Mimosa's peaceful panel are: Asta, Mimosa, Yuno, Bell, Fuegoleon, the Fire Spirit Salamander, Charmy, Rill, Gauche, and Marie.

Mimosa in Chapter 125: 14-15/17 has a massive ideological thematic parallel to Asta in Chapter 387: 16-17/21.

In Chapter 388: 4/19 – Mimosa and Charmy are together in a panel. Rill, Gauche, and Marie are in a panel. The only characters missing from that page are Asta, Yuno, Bell, Fuegoleon, and the Fire Spirit Salamander. This chapter is a chronological bridge to bring these characters into that peaceful panel we saw in Chapter 379.

Julius shares what True Peace is with Lucius, "That is the Answer" with Lucius on Chapter 389: 1-3/19. Notice how that ideological thematic parallel is embedded on page 3/19.

We are told in Chapter 392: 18-21 that The Wizard King Asta is on his way to intercept the airship.

Chapter 392: 16/21–Mimosa isn't seen with Yuno and Klaus.

Chapter 379-16= Ch. 363 (In the Way) Giant text bubbles are in the way that are obscuring her, but just enough details to notice the difference.

The girl with them is an unnamed character who can be located on several chapters as far back as 235, 236, 239, and 356. There may be more, but this is what I have found so far. Chapter 236: 1/15 has her in that same bottom left position she is located at on Ch. 392: 16/21. Chapter 236 is also titled: "There's No Way We're The Same."

Those are not Mimosa's boots.

That is not her hair.

She isn't that tall.

If you say Tabata made a mistake on the drawing, no, he didn't. Complain all you want. You can't change Tabata's decision.

Chapter 392 was a puzzle. You had to look closely at where people said they were going specifically and look at where they ended up. The timline was non-linear. Noelle's family lunch moment is not happening on the same day as the Magic Knights Exam along with the other moments. The exam takes place in the morning. Argue, all you want, it is a fact.

Other characters, such as the Captains in the peace montage panels and Finral, have no evidence of going to he exam. They are also obscured from the exam, unlike how you see them clearly back in Ch. 2.

Yami and Noelle, for example, never stated anything about going to the exam in their pages they were last seen because there was no exam at that current time point. (Yami) Page 4-6/21, and (Noelle) 12-13/21.

They just materialized at the exam without any evidence on page 19/21.

Chapter 392 - 19 = Ch. 373 (The Silva Siblings) This is tied directly to Noelle's core journey about rebuilding her family bonds and having them acknowledge her, which we see her having her happy peaceful moment in Chapter 392.

Why did Asta choose Mimosa?

Chapter 343: 11-12/17 – During the Land of Sun Arc, Asta masters his Ki sense that allows to feel/sense a person's heart now as well.

When he arrives back in the Clover Kingdom, he is able to sense Mimosa's heart, which has always been transparent and open, unlike Noelle's.

Asta knows that Mimosa is waiting for him to become the Wizard King before she makes a move. This is a known fact because Mimosa knows what Asta wants.

She knows, and it's stated back in Chapter 321: 9-17/17. Asta knows what Mimosa heart has been carrying ever since that Dungeon Arc in the beginning.

Asta couldn't sense Noelle's heart because it wasn't transparent. Her own defense mechanisms made her heart unreadable for him. Also, Mimosa and Noelle's feelings for Asta aren't on the same wave length.

I do have one critique that I still believe needs to be addressed. I do hope the Guidebook addresses this other than just the Coronation.

If the Guidebook doesn't show Noelle and Asta with an encounter before Asta arrives to Mimosa. It's leaving a major character flaw open-ended for Noelle's character that readers won't see.

We need to watch her move on. While she appears happy at the exam. It's still important to watch her let those feelings go and move on.

It just wouldn't sit right with me if we don't see that. She needs to learn that when it comes to romance, you do not declare a "Our real fight starts now" with someone, especially your cousin who has never looked at Asta as a trophy.

You look at the person as a human being.

Yuki Tabata did this to preserve his own narrative architecture and prevent a meltdown from happening on one side of the fandom that relied on the old shonen tropes to get through the series whom simply read the story incorrectly.

Asta's romance with Mimosa is Canon.

Witch Queen Name Theory

Name: Almira

I'm calling it.. like from The Wizard of Oz.

The Wicked Witch of the West was based on Almira, the woman in Dorothy's real world.

That forest was also located in the west of the border between Clover and Diamond Kingdom.

It makes sense. Dorothy has dream magic, which can connect to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, who falls asleep and dreams about being in a new land.

An Interesting Fact!

Asta had more screen time holding Lolopechka in his arms than Noelle! 🤭

This is my Last Warning

Go back and reread that Chapter 392

Look at what is "written" and what is not written for where characters are at and where they are going.

Noelle and Yami just materialized at the exam. There is no textual evidence for how they got there.

The timeline is non-linear 🕒<-🕘->🕒<-🕘->🕒

That is where Tabata is taking us in the Guidebook Chapter back to that moment.

Pages 12-15 does not take place in the present.

That coronation ceremony that is going around.

Did any of you actually translate the page itself?

It translates to:

Sentence 1: The two people of unique hope.

Sentence 2: Who will control the battle?

Mimosa or Noelle (This is a call to chapter 392)

When destruction and salvation combine as one, does it create a unique hope?

When destruction and salvation converge, they create a profound and unique form of hope, one that is fundamentally different from optimistic wishful thinking. This intersection suggests that true renewal can not exist without the collapse of what came before.

What came before?

Answer: Chapter 204- Last Wish

Licht and Tetia - 500 years ago - The Collapse

Chapter 21 Title: Destruction and Salvation:

Asta (Destruction)

Mimosa (Salvation)

Chapter 229 Title: The Beginning of "Hope and Despair"

Chapter 380 Title: The Brink of "Despair"

Guidebook: The two people of unique "hope."

"Who will control the battle!?”

There is no other chapter with the word Hope in the title between chapters 230 and 392.

This is happening!

People are walking into a surface level trap, thinking that the Guidebook is just some Coronation Ceremony because of what someone just threw out on X.

This is just Diabolical

Yuki Tabata is an absolute menace! 😈

Asta didn't even know Noelle in Chapter 1.
