Batista vs Zora’s DIVINE POWER! Choujin X Chapter 60.2 Spoilers!!

In the previous part of this Choujin X chapter, Ely tries to tell Yamato Mori not to kill Zora or else Tokio and Azuma will die.

Choujin X Chapter 60.2 is titled, “At the end of the pilgrimage”

This chapter has 33 pages and was released on February 10, 2025.

The chapter begins where we left off when Sandek declares that they will defeat Zora together, in spite of the potential death of Azuma and Tokio if Zora dies.

However, whether or not they will take Zora’s life will be discussed after winning over her.

If communications will be restored, Sandek intends to ask Mado’s guidance.

Hmmm, another hint to Sato’s real plan?

Cutting off any connection from Mado might both ensure Zora’s death and also reduce Yamato Mori’s power by killing off key players, maybe even Sandek himself.

Given how people are feeling discouraged from the revelation of Zora’s connection to many Choujin, especially Tokio and Azuma, Sandek suggests forming a “temporary decision”.

As long as the “mark” lives, based on Jing’s words from Chapter 56.2: “Zora Subjugation – Stone Wall”, then the Zora-bonded Tokio and Azuma can still live.

After checking Simon and the rest on their morale, Sandek leads Yamato Mori to the path to Zora’s Throne Room.

However, someone was already way ahead, Batista Hoshi, thanks to defeating Zora’s bodyguard, Knight Bottom, in Chapter 57: “Zora Subjugation: Castle Gate”.

Zora welcomes Noh Mask, who she identifies as Nue itself.

The Nue Chimera was the source of Batista’s power, Haginaphony Pilfer, but it is possible that the original Nue either possessed him or merged with Batista.

Zora immediately exposes Batista’s motivation to steal the Mark of the Beast, which Batista calmly acknowledges as it speeds things up.

Zora says that no matter how powerful he is, Batista’s evil deeds will come to light, so she tells her former ally that he is unworthy of the Mark and will only die from receiving it.

Zora has already chosen a successor, the one who will face the calamity as a Beast and will become a hero.

Disbelieving Zora’s claims, Batista clarifies that he has no intention to become a hero or face the Calamity.

However, Batista reveals he has gotten his hand, quite literally, on a Beast Choujin, as his right arm transforms and bursts out.

Batista revealed that he refined the Xember formula made from Zora’s blood and it is now complete, so he injected himself with it to be compatible with the Mark of the Beast.

Batista brings up how he has suffered so much and that he was led by fate to be rewarded for enduring all his troubles.

However, he wonders if Zora did not act in spite of already knowing his treachery because of her premonitions or because she had grown senile.

Zora calls Batista the “bee that carries the pollen”, the “bird that deposits the seed” and thus he only exists due to the role he plays.

Zora’s premonitions do give her a god complex here, ironic for a former Catholic nun.

As such, Batista mocks Zora for being a pitiable loser and asks if she always knew he would betray her, which she confirms.

So he asks when she has thought of Batista as a pawn.

Zora gives a smug look with her palm eyes, with her actual arms pointing at Batista, saying that she always knew even before he was born and that Batista’s fortunes and misfortunes came from a “script from the heavens”, which could also be how Zora views her own life and thus her obsession with fulfilling prophecy (or her egoistic self-righteousness).

Here, we further reaffirm that Batista was originally human, which we saw in his flashback in Chapter 51: “Fragment”, and his deal with the Nue Chimera.

Suddenly, Zora’s eyes glow as she activates “Resonant Beastification”, which turns her worshippers into their Beast Choujin forms as Zora shares her power with them so that the beasts can give Batista his last rites.

Suddenly, Batista’s mask floats off, revealing his patchwork face, and declares that he is tired of Zora’s lies.

Batista’s right eye (he has three right eyes) begins crying, activating “Weeping Eye”, which makes those who enter his sight lose all hope, allowing him to plow through them.

More come, so he uses his center right eye, the “Bitter Eye”, that makes people relive their fears.

Some fear fire and one of them even fears Queem, implying that they might be as old as Zora herself.

Exposing his chest, Batista gets fired up as he brings out “Loaned Sword: Karanken”, a sword with the head of its user on its handle.

Karanken is capable of upsetting a Choujin’s Raise pathways and thus hamper regeneration but not totally stop Raises.

Batista throws the sword, which sucks the lie out of the Beasts before exposing his abdomen, which holds the brain of the Mimic Mimic Choujin, whose ability, Inure Clemency, can copy and manages the powers recently utilized.

Batista places Gravity Manipulation upon Loaned Sword: Karanken so it can fly around and rampage against the underlings, giving Batista the opening to reach for Zora herself.

Zora summons her black Crown of Thorns and with one sway of her finger, she lets the crown expand to cut Batista in half with “Adamantine Break”.

This might be the biggest flex Zora has pulled in the series.

Just a mere motion is all she needed to destroy Batista, who has gathered so many abilities just to fight Zora’s strong Beast Choujin minions.

Adamantine Harpe and its Adamantine Break are the superior version of Karanken, being able to completely block Raise rather than just stall it.

The chapter ends with Zora using Gravity Manipulation to spin Batista’s upper half while mocking him for his failed assassination attempt.
