Attack on To'kustar

Paperluigi ttyd·4/11/2017

The final two volumes of Chapter 5 will be released within the next week, either on a Wednesday-Sunday or Thursday-Monday schedule. After that, there will be a few weeks off before Chapter 6, as I'm switching to not releasing any volumes within a chapter until the whole chapter is finished. You can expect those to be released starting the end of May.

I'm also confirming that I will make a second season. It will probably start in mid-June, or whenever Season 1 ends.

WARNING: SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW

The following contains spoilers related to Attack on To'kustar. Please proceed with caution.

[Pietro and Vladimir Czeswin stand facing each other in a back alley. Pietro aims a gun at Vladimir, having previously shot him in the arm. Vladimir appears to be in shock at his son's actions.]

[Vladimir]: Fermi? Why are you looking for him.

[Pietro]: He's a former member of the Knights.

[Vladimir]: Yeah, but what makes him--

[Pietro]: I know he's an Esper.

[Vladimir]: Really?

[Pietro]: Yes, and I have a feeling you know where he is.

[Vladimir sighs. He is grabbing his right arm in his left hand, applying pressure to his wound.]

[Vladimir]: And why would I know that?

[Pietro]: You were a member of the Knights the same time he was? No one seems to know where he is, so you were the first person I thought of who might know.

[Vladimir]: Well, I don't, okay? I haven't seen him since he left the Knights.

[Pietro]: I don't believe you.

[Vladimir]: Big surprise.

[Pietro, wickedly]: You're lucky. If I knew you didn't no anything, do you think you'd still be alive?

[Vladimir closing his eyes in disappointment.]

[Vladimir]: What did I do to deserve this treatment from my son?

[Pietro snaps.]

[Pietro, shouting]: What did you do?

[He rushes at Vladimir and holds the gun point black at his forehead.]

[Pietro]: You killed my mother; your own wife!

[Vladimir]: I did it because I had to, for science... I thought you would understand.

[Pietro, enraged]: No, dad. I love my work, but that are lines that you're willing to cross that I'm not, and that was one of them. Now you're going to tell me what you know, or so help me I will fill your brain with lead.

The spoilers have ended. You can read the next section normally.

WARNING: SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW

The following contains spoilers related to Attack on To'kustar. Please proceed with caution.

[Pietro Czeswin and Vladimir Czeswin are seen walking through the streets of Hennington, a town just within the south-east segment of Wall Sera. The morning sun begins to warm up the city, but it is still somewhat dark. The father and son walk down a back alley, looking for the Forever Knights base in the town.]

[Pietro, angry]: You sure you know where this is?

[Vladimir]: Absolutely.

[He gets to the end of the alley and looks into the main street. It is bright enough that he makes sure to check if anyone else is in the street. When he realizes there is no one, he quickly runs across the street and continue to walk down the next alley way, followed by his son.]

[Vladimir]: It's just a little bit farther.

[Pietro]: Don't make me pull a gun on you again.

[Vladimir]: As if you don't want to pull a gun on me?

[Pietro, angry]: Shut up.

[Vladimir, chuckling]: I'm your father and yet you still take pride in threatening me, how shameful.

[Pietro, bitterly]: I said shut up.

[Vladimir grunts. He looks back at his son as he continues to walk.]

[Vladimir]: How about you at least try to be pleasant?

[He stops again at the next street. He looks in the street and this time sees three soldiers standing in the street. They are Jack Eastview, Emma Saunders, and Ricky Zhang, the three members of Regional Squad Corps Squad East Sera 7. Vladimir stops to watch them for a moment, but then notices they aren't looking. He quickly runs across the street as Pietro follows him. As the two run across the street, Ricky notices them suspiciously running and starts to run after them.]

[Ricky]: Hey!

[He runs until he gets to the alley. Vladimir and Pietro are running at the end of it. As soon as Ricky turns to run down the alley, Pietro turns back, pulls a gun, and shoots at him, hitting him in the right shoulder. Ricky drops to a knee as Jack and Emma run over. Jack turns to look down the alley but Pietro and Vladimir make it just out of sight before he looks.]

[Jack]: Who shot you? Who did you see?

[Ricky, short of breath]: Two men... Didn't recognize them, but they looked suspicious, could be Forever Knights...

[Jack, worried]: Great.

[He starts to run after them as Emma stays back to help Ricky.]

Hey all! This will be my last update on this thread for a while, so it's going to be somewhat long. I have officially confirmed that there will be a second season, meaning that when episodes return on May 23, they will be continuing for some time. I have made myself a schedule for the next few months for when to write episodes and when to release episodes. As said before, I am now only going to be releasing episodes when all of the episodes in one chapter have been finished. This is why there won't be any new episodes until May 23.

That being said, once I start releasing episodes, I will be writing the next chapter while the current chapter is being released, so there won't be a break between every chapter. My current release schedule is May 23, which is a Tuesday, and then starting on Friday, May 26, release one episode every Friday until I take a break, whenever that is. My writing plan is to give myself N-1 weeks for a chapter with N episodes, so I will always be writing a little over one episode a week, which I find to be a pretty casual pace for the summer (especially based on how I used to write).

So, based on this plan, the last episode in this group will be the 19th episode of Season Two, released on November 10. However, I may move the last chapter I plan on releasing until after the hiatus, in which case the hiatus would start after the 15th episode was released on October 13.

I understand that this is a lot, and I may end up writing less than this, but I'm being ambitious, and I'm extremely motivated, and unlike most of the last three years, I don't really have writer's block, so I'm confident.

I don't have plans for how long the hiatus would be. It would probably be until late April, with maybe a few scattered releases during the long break.

Finally, I want to make some more announcements regarding Season Two, including things I didn't put on any of the pages yet. Here is a list of the first several chapters of Season Two:

CH7: Espers of Percival
CH8: Espers of the Outside
CH9: Espers of Stone City
CH10: Espers of the Lake
CH11: Espers of the Homefront

As you can see, while the theme for chapters name in Season One was "Attack on...", in Season Two, it is "Espers of..." This corresponds to the official title of Season Two: Attack on To'kustar: Espers of the Heart. This name will become clear as the Season One concludes and Season Two begins.

Finally, I want to talk about some new characters who will be appearing in Season Two. This parts contains some spoilers, so beware...

WARNING: SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW

The following contains spoilers related to Attack on To'kustar Season 2. Please proceed with caution.

I will be beginning some story lines involving the royal family, including the King, Hector Reiford, who made a brief cameo at the end of Lightning. I will also introduce some other members of the royal family, including one character who will have a large role in the events of the season. I will also be introducing some more characters in the army, and focusing more on characters who have been around for most of Season One, but haven't gotten a lot of attention, such particularly the children.

Season 2 will be interesting for jumping around from place to place. Each chapter will focus on only one aspect of the story; as you will see in the end of Season 1, the huge group of characters will be split up into groups to travel far and wide, but that's probably more than I want to say...

The spoilers have ended. You can read the next section normally.

I really hope you enjoy this news. I won't be taking a break from the wiki for a few weeks, but don't worry, I'll still be writing...

I hope.

Hey all; quick update!

Starting with the next episode, there will be a "Previously on" and "Next on" compilation/trailer at the beginning/end of every episode. The previously segment will be a recap of important scenes from previous episodes, while the trailer will be a preview of upcoming scenes, mainly from the very next episode, but occasionally from later in the chapter.

To preview this new part, I have added a trailer for "Denial" to the page for Lightning. Check it out now!

My next update probably won't be for a few weeks, so bye!
