The plot of Dead Rock took a dramatic turn with Chapter 27, thrusting Yakuto and his fallen classmates into the afterlife. The revelation of the true God of the universe and his war against the Underworld has shattered all expectations. With a surprise return and a looming threat, the stage is set for a new quest that will challenge Yakuto and his friends like never before.
Dead Rock Chapter 27 Recap: An Afterlife in Chaos
Chapter 27, “ELFED” started with Yakuto, Saru and Setsuna waking up in the land of the dead. They learned that this is where all souls go after death. The “God” they knew, Elfed, created the mortal worlds but now seeks to destroy the Underworld and stop the cycle of reincarnation, which he views as a violation of his “principles.”
The trio met the God of the Underworld, Lip, who revealed that he needs them to fight Elfed. He offered them a chance at reincarnation into the human world in exchange for a mission to take down the creator god. Just as Yakuto and his friends were about to leave, Elfed himself appeared, his mere presence causing the Underworld to crumble. In a shocking final reveal, Hien, who was believed to be dead, appeared to save Yakuto, confirming that he too had been in the Underworld all along.
Dead Rock Chapter 28 Predictions & Theories: A Divine Battle
With Yakuto, Hien and the others reunited, Chapter 28 will likely begin with a grand escape from the collapsing Underworld. However, given the looming threat of God Elfed, a confrontation is inevitable.
Here are the top predictions for what’s to come:
- The Fated Reincarnation: Lip, the God of the Underworld has offered Yakuto and the others a chance at reincarnation. Chapter 28 may show them passing through the gate but the process may not be as simple as they believe. They could be reborn with their memories intact but with a new challenge from Elfed. This new beginning would put them on the path to defeating God.
- Hien’s Role: Hien’s return is a major development. He’s a powerful character who was defeated by Yakuto in a previous battle. His presence in the Underworld and his decision to save Yakuto suggests he will play a key role in the upcoming fight against God. Chapter 28 could reveal his motives and how he will contribute to Yakuto’s new quest.
- A New Divine Power: The battle between Lip and Elfed is already shaping up to be an epic clash. We saw Elfed’s power consume the Underworld with his presence alone. Chapter 28 may provide a glimpse into Lip’s true power, showcasing the abilities of a god who controls all the dead souls in every world.
What do you think will happen to Yakuto and the others? Will they successfully escape and reincarnate or will God’s ultimate power destroy them all?
