EDIT: based on Alsadius' comment about thread creation for MOR chapters, let's also use this thread for chapter 107 (and future chapters until this nears 500 comments) unless someone objects to doing so.

I guess I kind of object? Not out of any principle or logic, but I just feel like this thread has kind of been stagnating and not really encouraging new top-level replies because they're crushed under all the highly upvoted posts and don't get as much attention.

Especially since everything is changing so fast in this final arc, I like the idea of having a distinct thread for each chapter, so all replies have the same context, instead of as in a mixed thread like this, where a post based on the latest information may be drowned out by now-irrelevant theories from earlier chapters, and it is not clear to the reader which posts are implicitly based on which chapters unless they have a table of chapter update times and check the date of posts.

ETA: I had just missed the posting of this thread when I wrote the following.

If no one objects to my objection, I'll go ahead and post a thread for chapter 109 and chapter 109 alone, once it is released. Or, if anyone feels similarly, I or someone else could post a thread for the just-released chapter 108, which isn't yet explicitly included in this current thread.

Actually, why not have a poll?

ETA: Apparently the bold markdown syntax doesn't work with poll options. My bad.
