Aniz acting remotely... sane and not foot in mouthish. Scary.
I expected Paunch :(
I just got an image of Fa'Lina and Aniz in Ultimia 7.
"Must you do this, Aniz?"
*Charline understands the female psyche... being female and all...* A woman forced to recall old emotional scars is the most dangerous kind. Especially for the one who forced them to remember.
*hopes there will be horrid mangling of Aniz next time!* :boogie
Aniz's common sense along with the sense of shame kicked in. Finally. :sweatdrop
But whatever Aniz's plan is, it's quite important to him, since he is ready to wait for nearly three centuries to accomplish it.

Abandon your hopes, then. >:3 He is already leaving.
Fa'lina looks so beautiful and sad in that last panel ;-;
This..is somewhat confusing, Aniz went from looking like an idiot who was seconds away from death..to someone who is actually capable of being sensable when he gets into tthe right situation. Fa'lina seems to have no intention of really killing him but her words of 'must you do this?' almost make them sound like good friends and Aniz merely screwed up..wich may be so and I just mmissed alot of things in the past couple weeks.
I'm not actually thinking right now so that's proboblly all i'm going to say for this but i'll definatly be reading.

I was just thinking the same thing. Now I feel bad for both of them... :(
At least this confirms that Aniz is capable of genuine non-jerkdom. And once again, I see Abel taking after his father personality-wise.

*lightbulb* Wait, after 3 centuries, Abel will be 325(ish)...he's near 400 now, so does he have a half-sibling somewhere in the Academy?
I bet this has already been answered XD
And that's good writing ladies and gentleman. even after all these years of DMFA, Amber never fails to amaze me.

Yeah, and his younger brother's name is Daniel. (I am only joking about it.) "
Foolish little brother... You are weak... Why are you so weak?.. Because you lack... brains. >:3" Now an image of Abel dressed up and acting like Itachi from "Naruto" is stuck in your brain.
Wow. We've seen a lot of really intense emotions from Fa'Lina, and in between, she usually is just her normal, supremely confident (maybe even arrogant) self. And now...this.
She's hurt, but not angry-hurt. Maybe disappointed, maybe even a little scared. Whatever it is, for the first time, she actually looks vulnerable.
she almost seems CONCERNED for asshole.... this is somehow foreshadowing
I was kind of thinking Daniel, too... but Abel's too old for that.
It's probably *someone* Ti'Fiona, though, since Falina used that to get Abel to agree to tutor Dan.
QuoteAniz's common sense along with the sense of shame kicked in. Finally.
Finally indeed. Just goes to show that there are times when even he can realize he's gone too far. Like last time, when he made a blunder that could be described as "cosmically stupid."

Same thought came to me. Checking the archive, there is some similarity between Edward (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_297.php) and Aniz (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_017.php). Not much, mostly the hair, but there won't be much if Aniz had a kid with a being anyway. If this is the case, then most likely Aniz has been "spreading his seeds" again in an attempt to sire a kid who looks just like them (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_013.php).
As for Fa'Lina's last comment... it probally means that what Aniz is doing resonates somehow with the genocide of her clan. My bets are still on it being genetic reincarnation of certain dead members of his own clan, but that is just a far off guess.

If Edward
is Aniz, it would explain - among other things - why Dee didn't erase him and why there are no clear shots of Edward's arm where Aniz' clan mark would be (though there are admittedly only about 3-4 pictures of him at all). This line of reasoning seems to upset some people (?) so out of courtesy, I shall say no more.
Fa'lina's Expression made my heart hurt :cry
Oh tardation and non expecting...Wow I never expected feel so mixed feelings for her now and Aniz as well
First thing that came to my mind is that she's concerned not about him, but about his going through with his plans and ruining more people's lives.

Are you sure? I thought it had more to do with the fact that Abel will take quite a while to train. If you are trying to increase the 'Cubi population, and you are having people like Aniz do it, you want any offspring to be trainable.
Remember, 'Cubi think of Beings as a food source, and a source of offspring. Being lives are worth almost nothing. My feeling is that the reason you don't get 'Cubi killing Beings En-masse is because if you get enough Beings riled up, they could take down a 'Cubi. (While a single Being might only be as strong as a bee, enough bee stings can kill a human).
Those are my thoughts on the matter.

That line of thinking isn't exactly wrong for any particular reason, but I'm kind of skeptical on whether Aniz had even been thought up at the time of those pages.
Also, as you said, there are very few images of him as it is so it could just as easily be a total coincidence.
Very interesting theory, though.
Take note of the timeline. When will Aniz get back to SAIA?

i kinda always figured his plan was to set himself up as a founder of a new clan of his own or something... maybe Fa'Lina's "Must you do this?" is because she JUST got reminded of the pain of having a clan (and having it wiped out)... i dunno, my thoughts. i highly doubt Danny-boy's related to Abel by blood or anything... maybe Edward's the one who finally killed Aniz? :0 i dunno, we shall have to WAIT AND SEEEE~! :mwaha
in other news, Fa'Lina's face in that last panel is heartbreaking. :< want to hug poor pink poodle!
Hm... Honestly this made me remember as to I am curious what his lans are. We have the theories that he's making his own clan, but I don't know... 75 years wouldn't affect someone that long lived in that area I don't think, and apparently whatever he's trying is a repeat of what has been tried before.
QuoteOnly three? Call me impressed. The last one who tried this had three on the way when I shut him down.
-Fa'lina mocking Aniz when he asked her what seventy five years will do to his plans. Ables Story Part II Page 14
As this could be founding of a new clan... with that page and her asking if he has to do this... makes me wonder if he's trying something bigger.
...Or I could be batting one heck of a foul ball in my random thoughts...
Aniz's face in the second panel is awesome; hasn't anyone else noticed?
It's kinda like a deer in the headlights; except with less spaziness.
His vocal mistake just cost him another two-hundred years. He just realized he's screwed and there's no way to possible fix this mistake.
The next panel... is depressive acceptance.

Keep an umbrella handy.
I seriously doubt Edward is Aniz. As was suggested before, I think Dee would be able to tell a being from a cubi.
Another idea though, can cubi have non-cubi offspring? Could Edward be Aniz's son? That would make Uncle Abel Dan's current tutor.
If cubi can have non-cubi offspring, will the next generation with beings always be beings (Alexsi) or can some cubi genes sometimes slip through?
(was that enough over-analysis?)

*wears a poncho*
Much better than an umbrella.
Anyway, I think this is a rare sign of exhaustion on Fa'lina's part. It sounds a bit like she's tired of Aniz's antics, not necessarily because it's Aniz, but because she's seen the same type of moves and can see disaster on the horizon for Aniz, but feels that he'll still run straight into it regardless of what she does. In short, the question seems like a last hail-mary attempt to get Aniz to change, perhaps because Fa'lina still feels the need to try and protect 'Cubi despite their obvious stupidity.
Amber's ability in drawing facial expressions that show emotion has really skyrocketed lately, in my opinion.
According to his character sheet, Abel's almost 400 now. So that would mean Aniz should have been able to return to SAIA almost a century ago.
It's also mentioned that he's part of a widespread and almost extinct clan.
Based on what I've seen so far in Abel's story...
Abel and Aniz are evidently from the same clan, as they have the same marking.
I think either Aniz was trying to either form his own clan or rebuild it.
Personally, I believe he's trying to rebuild it, considering how he mentioned that Abel 'looks just like them'.
I could very easily be wrong. With the amount of twists going on...
I can see why Abel was upset when he won that wallpaper war. xP
...I also think Fa'lina needs some of May's cookies. :3

It's about -375 at the moment. If Aniz starts in 250 years and the child is ready to attend in 25 years it will be a century prior to present-day, by my reckoning or 75 years prior, if Aniz leaves a round 300 years.

I'm still half expecting Pyroduck to be said sibling...
If Pyroduck is Abel's half-brother, that would mean that Aniz had some really hot dates. (Assuming that dragons in DMFA can breath fire.) In such a relationship, Aniz would certainly have trouble throwing his weight around. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_683.php)

Assuming, of course, his foot-in-mouth disease doesn't flare up again, causing someone to get his attention with a half-brick bounced off his pointy little head and drop him into the nearest volcano (with or without fifty million orange pillows)...
And now I think I'll spend the next few months working out the connection between the statements "must you do this?" and "he looks just like them" — assuming Aniz is trying to rebuild his clan, is there something in the past to explain why that clan was driven to near-extinction? A reason Fa'lina can't disagree with? Although she knows Aniz will keep trying regardless? <assumes Thinker pose>

One possibility is that she is simply referring to him driving his own son insane, though I rather doubt it now. It does look more like that was simply incompetence than malice.
I would tend to agree with your analysis that he's trying to rebuild his clan and that he will somehow be disappointed by the results.
Personally, when Fa'lina said "Must you do this?"....I think she was pointing out how much trouble Aniz keeps getting in. Also, I think she possibly cares for him...of course that's just my speculation...

Indeed. Fa'lina is
old. She has seen dozens, if not hundreds of Anizes, almost as many Abels and whatever she does, they
never, ever learn. Anybody can get tired by that.
As for Abels possible half-sibling, I think Destania seems like a more logical choice than Edward. I was about to add "or Aaryanna", but then I looked at her cast page. She is older than Abel. Destania, on the other hand... has no cast page. Makes you wonder why, doesn't it?
Except that a) Destinia is already of a seperate clan, b) Abel should know if that's the case, and there's no hint of such, c) Destinina should know if that's the case, and there's no hint of such, d) cast pages are subject to change anyway (see example: Pyroduck's cast page update of family relations to include Fa'lina, and e) there is -- **gets kidnapped and mind-wiped**

Since Destania was Aaryanna's teacher, that would suggest that Destania is older than Aaryanna.

Or possibly first teachers... Nope, I'm wrong, first students it is.
First students can be first additional teachers (unless Fa'lina already had other cubi as teachers when she opened the academy)
I didn't notice anyone responding to my earlier question whether Aniz would tutor any further existing offspring in the next 76 - now 276 - years or if there's other options available until Fa'lina lets him enroll more. Are cubi expected - or even required - to get some kind of cubi schooling, whether Academy or homeschooling? Are there other schools available? What was it like before Fa'lina started the Academy?
I corrected myself because of http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_489.php which strongly implied that Destinia was enrolled as a student first.
http://missmab.com/Demo/cubi.php and http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_508.php provides some information on SAIA and cubi education.

Amber's covered this before. It'll be tricky to find the post but I'll summarise what I remember:
Before the Academy, 'Cubi were taught by their own clans. As I understand it, the Academy was actually founded by recruiting the best teachers that Fa'Lina was able to convince to join.
Not all clans use SAIA (it is not mandatory) but those who do have a substantially better survival rate in the outside world, being able to benefit from the accumulated wisdom of many clans rather than just one.
So yes, Aniz could teach them himself but I don't think he'd have the skill or patience from what I can see. Yes, he spent 25-26 years on Abel, but he was desperate to pawn him off onto Fa'Lina as soon as he could.
I entirely forgot reading that in Demonology.
What little we saw if Cid/Aniz up to Abel's "popping" leads me to believe he left the handling of most all of Abel's education to May. So Abel would have no knowledge of anything cubi-related, especially anything regarding their abilities. So teaching his offspring cubi ways would be new to him. :starwars "Luke, I'm your father you're a cubi" (I thought I remembered a smiley of that rather than this fight one).

One thing I could see him doing is fathering a group of children this time and trying to teach them himself/with outside help/with the group teaching eachother some after minor guidance. And besides, if theres a group, less likely to be taken out by normal adventurers.
Only problom might be the mothers, if he wants them around or not...

Or perhaps this is just a coincidence.

I thought that at one point, but Abel is almost 400 now, hence why I said
over 300 years ago. Aniz should, theoretically, have been able to return 99 years ago. So I'm not sure.
-shrugs-
He could show up, or perhaps offspring of his, or perhaps there'll be another twist in Abel's story. Heaven forbid that something that we were expecting happens.
