I read ahead to the end of volume 11, because everything in this arc is so addictive. But you can now delete my memory so that I have to read it again.

I can try that but I’m already struggling at kanji writing so I don’t have much hope that I’ll be good at spell drawing. Plus if I were to get good at it, I would probably start with making my shoes flyable.

Disclaimer - I haven’t quite finished chapter 54 yet so may be missing important details.
I was confused by that and had a look back - they have the bracelets attached to them so I guess that’s a sort of threat.
When I looked back I noticed another interesting thing - Kustas also has bracelets on both arms. I wondered if that’s exerting some kind of control over him.
Final thing which I noticed, which may have been mentioned previously, is that when Aninia (sorry:Ininia after all) “rescues” them, she appears to have tattoos on both hands.

Wow, what a chapter. Never read Japanese faster.

That intro gives me bad feelings for the chances of survival of the wizard cop. Cool to have a cute gay couple though.
I did not see the twist of the 時戻し spell only temporarily undoing the damage. I did think it was incredibly OP originally so it’s nice that there is a catch. It’s very tragic here however, and paints つばありちゃん in a bad light for doing it. It’s just cruel. Maybe she’s just clueless, she doesn’t seem very concerned with human emotions so far.

That’s alright, we’ll just have to rely on my memory auto-purging itself as usual. Shouldn’t be a problem.
Point in case:

I thought the bracelets weere Kokos invention meant to keep track of where her friends are. But now that you mention it, it does look suspicious that Tartar’s bracelet looks exactly like the two Kustas is wearing. Did you find the scene where he puts it on?
Interesting. I can’t even remember ever seeing her with her hands uncovered. All I can remember are shots with her hands hidden by gloves or long sleeves.
when Aninia (that’s my version)
My version of the prince is Oléolé, because I just can’t deal with his mountain of consecutive vowels.

Kudos to Koko for asking Dagda about his forbidden magic circle without beating around the bush. Finally things are moving.
I always wondered why people don’t try to use that spell on people somewhere the police can’t see, if it’s so well-known to work on inanimate objects. This fatal flaw explains it quite neatly, and it also gave me quite a punch seeing it on Dagda, after we just got a reminder of his whole tragic backstory and all.
While I agree that Ininia doesn’t seem to be very in touch with her own emotions or those of other people, there was also something she said that shed more light on her motives, but I don’t remember if it’s in the part we’ve already officially read or if it’s next week’s territory, so: Ininia believes that there’s an ancient method that can heal Dagda permanently, and that the authorities covered it up but the knowledge still exists somewhere. So she sees the deeply flawed daily time-turner method as a temporary fix, and I bet that also makes it more palatable to Kustas.
I felt mildly emotionally manipulated when I realized that the cute scenes at the market with the adorable boyfriend were probably just there to make us give a shit about what happens to him after he turns into Mr. Police Brutality and suddenly starts attacking innocent people with no questions asked 
. But yeah, at least it is +1 for diversity.

I don’t think we’ve seen this yet, probably next week. Or I read too fast…

to protect and to wipe
Guy carried a potential weapon (guitar) and wore gang tattoos. Long haired too, potential terrorist. Wizard cop had no choice but to proceed to a tactical THCTTF[1] procedure to protect innocent civilians. That’s textbook.

Well, I guess we have definite confirmation that Ininia is a つばあり帽子. I’m intrigued by the fact that the globe she’s carrying seems to be in charge though.

“No simias you’re jumping to conclusions we don’t know that she’s a つばあり just because she does forbidden magic and has tattoos and a cool hat!”
You bozos wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the world of Tongari. You meet one evil waifu and it’s RIP.

Chapter 56
You need to read 六人の嘘つきな大学生. It has a really hamfisted message about not judging people until you know their full story and will hit you in the face with it until you admit that Ininia could still be a righteous warrior of justice.
Oh c’mon. That’s not evil. Turnabout’s fair play.
(Also, I wondered if the way she gets so intense about the topic of memory wipes is an indication that she’s been wiped herself or had it happen to someone close to her)

Damn
The cute gays really got screwed fast, it kinda makes me sad. The cop did get a taste of his own medicine, that spell really is a fate even worse than death and he knew it.
I gotta say though, I am not really understanding the timeline, when did ダグダ get his griveous wound? Also, the time return magic is pretty useful, like that is the first think I thought, if you get wounded/killed you can just get that written on you, taken to the hospital, have it removed, and immediately treated as the injury comes back. I feel like that would cure almost anything

Daguda was killed at the end of volume 8, shortly after leaving town with Kusutasu after he’d been given his flying crutches. He was attacked by bandits in the countryside.

The timing was really optimized for plugging on the reader’s heartstrings, too. Just as Galga realized his mistake and it looked for a moment as if he wanted to de-escalate…boom, tsubaari combo from behind!
Definitely. That’s basically what Tartar suggested…though I wonder if the non-magical healing methods of this world are really good enough to do anything about wounds caused by several arrows straight to the abdomen and/or chest. In the real world, something like that would need blood tranfusions and antibiotics and stuff. Oh well, the king and some brimhat are probably going to combine their methods for best results.
Speaking of which, now Koko and Tartar have a real reason to go along with the plan to see the king…but we don’t really know what the tsubaari wanted from him in the first place, right?

I thought the timeline didn’t make a lot of sense previously (given that were told that the resurrection is only very temporary) but this chapter explains (or rather implies? I don’t think it’s stated outright) that they’ve been resurrecting him over and over again in a sort of reverse-groundhod-day scenario.
I just wanted to point that it here to make sure everybody got that.
