How old is Elf?
Is Elf a teenager the same age as Jyugo? Or a much older man whose age does not match his appearance? I don’t know how many people have seriously thought about this question… But I’m one of those who really thought about it, and did a little research, re-reading the entire manga from beginning to end… From Elf’s first appearance, his meeting with Jyugo, chapters about Noriko Sanzou's past, and right up to the very final chapters, which also contain some information regarding how old our pointy-eared friend is. And I should note that this actually gave me a more or less clear answer to my question. Well… I'll lay out the facts. First of all, I think we should pay attention to the fact that Jyugo, during his first meeting with Elf, literally tells us about his age:
Tumblr media
"I've never seen a guard around the same age as me before… Even if I assume he's an inmate, there shouldn't be anyone besides me who can get out…" Jyugo tells us that Elf is definitely a teenager. Or Jyugo mistook him for a teenager… Okay, let's not rush to conclusions. After all, the chapters that contain information about Noriko Sanzou's past tell us otherwise. As far as we know, Noriko Sanzou is 30 years old at the time of the events of Building 5. She is a grown woman, but Elf was present in her past, and he seemed to be her age, a little boy.
Tumblr media
In this case, it would seem that the theory that he is a teenager is crumbling. This is logical, yeah. However, regarding Noriko’s age and appearance, not everything is as clear as it seems… Because next to her all this time was her younger brother Houdzuki, who is 8 years younger than his sister, but also looks almost the same age as her.
Tumblr media
And if Houdzuki at the time of these chapters, for example, is 8 years old, then Noriko is 16… Thus, the chapters about Noriko Sanzou’s past cannot give us an accurate assessment of whether Elf is really her same age in childhood or not, because her appearance is completely does not exactly match her age and misleads us. In addition, apparently, Noriko saw Elf not in reality, but in her dream. (Chapter 132)
Tumblr media
However, I propose to follow further, bypassing the profile of Elf from the anime, where his age is indicated as 16 years old… Much further.
Tumblr media
So...
Tumblr media
In chapter 422, we are shown none other than the moment of Elf's creation… Isou, Mashiro and Hiiro are near a large scarlet test tube, talking about a child who once existed, and whose cells were a panacea for all diseases.
Tumblr media
And as far as we can see, this moment occurs some short time after Jyugo's birth, since Mashiro talks about Elf's "incompleteness" at the moment when Hiiro learns that he injected Elf's cells into Jyugo's body. (Unfortunately there is no English translation here, sorry)
Tumblr media
And finally… Based on all this I can conclude: Elf is not just a teenager like Jyugo, he is even a little younger than Jyugo, and he is certainly not a grown man. And who knows, perhaps in chapter 61 Elf’s phrase that in the past he and Jyugo played a lot together has the most direct meaning… ;)
Tumblr media
Thank you for your attention! And for reading this all to the end xD

Hey guys!!
I would just like to shout of the 87 people (and the small percent of bots) for still hanging around!!
I think that I have officially kicked the can down the road so far that I can no longer kick it.
I am completely out of nanbaka content and ideas. I have lost all of the will I have. And for some reason, I don't feel right just scrapping this Tumblr and turning it into something else.
I AM NOT DELETING THIS TUMBLR.
I am just telling you guys that there will be no new content on it. So, if you have recently followed and was expecting more stuff, I am sorry, I am burned out. I have came up with over 100 memes, 8-10 questions/theories posts and since there is no more manga, I have no more new content :((
If/When more Nanbaka related content does show up, I will come back, but I say that with a grain of salt. Because, sadly, the death grip that Nanbaka has had on me for the past 5 years is becoming replaced by South Park and Doll Collecting. But hey, this has been a wonderful 3 years, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Also, um I wasn't allowed to have a Tumblr, but um my mom doesn't have Tumblr so um lol.
I wish all of you the best of luck with your nanbaka journey, and I will hopefully see you again!!! :)))
Boom Boom Buh Boom
AND IIIIIIII WILLL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU AND ILLL ALWAYS LOVE
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Okay, okay I am so late on this but I just skimmed over the last few and final chapters of Nanbaka and
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My heart has been ripped out and stomped on and I have SOOOOOO many questions.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
.
.
.
.
Some of these questions involve Uno, Rock, and Nico's perspective.
- What's been going through their heads all this time?
- Have they ever genuinely cared about Jyugo?
- What was their motive to commit murder?
My reaction to that last revelation was like that one TikTok word for word: "*GASP* Fake Ass Bitches!"
Again I only skimmed and saw a few of the translations and pages so I don't have the complete picture of what's going on.

HEYYYYY yallllllllllll
I am trying to be better at posting more on my socials, but that is going a bit weirdly. But um, I am going to just going to pin a new thing on my account, which more consistent info about finding the Nanbaka manga, and resources for that.
So after comico-gate, sho has semi-removed all of the chapters from comico. And by semi removed, I mean if you bought them, then you still have the chapters, but if not, it's not on comico any more. So if you have known about Nanbaka before this October then, you might possibly have stuff. But if you are new to the fandom, (which since I am seeing a lot is new posts from artists and such) that's not going to help you. So here is the best I can do at the moment.
So since Sho got dropped from Comico, she is reposting all of the manga on a pixiv page. Now personally I have no idea what that is, and it requires money. Which I do not have. So it's paywalled, which is understandable, but that's the only way you can find Nanbaka in the raw. (In Japanese with the art and etc) (the links will at the bottom of the post so you can click them)
The second resource I have is a Google document, created by some amazingly awesome person, and that has all of the chapters that @when-will-i-sleep (the original form of Nanbaka translation before they stopped) to the end-ish (355. Also they translated some new chapters I haven't seen yet! Yay!) So that will also be linked below!
Also, there is Sho's actual Twitter. If you don't want a Twitter due to the interesting things happening over there, that's fine, you can still just browse it. She also posts lovely hand drawn art, which you shouldn't snatch.
https://twitter.com/nu_nu_nu13?t=h8rC_YizV-E1fXxpxBG3Rg&s=09
So I hope this helps all of y'all new peoples!!! I am so glad that this fandom is growing!!! It makes me so happy!!! If you have any other questions, like how you can find the anime or something, just message me, and I will be looking at this more, so you should get a prompt answer!! :)))
