BATISTA RESETS THE CHOUJIN X UNIVERSE! Choujin X Chapter 62 Spoilers!

In the previous Choujin X chapter, Tokio comes to an understanding with Zora, ending her career as the main villain of Choujin X and giving rise to another.

Choujin X Chapter 62 is titled “Stripped”

Released on March 22, 2025, Part 1 has 25 pages

The chapter begins, revealing the culprit to be a dazed and controlled Yamato Mori keeper, using his gun to cut Zora’s left arm off and shooting everyone else, willy-nilly.

The soldier is stopped by Arthur One but then a serpentine creature made of what appears to be sinew emerges from the soldier’s mouth and takes hold of Zora’s severed arm, with a voice mocking all this talk of the future.

This turns to be from Batista, who expresses his outrage at the Keepers’ desire to protect the present order and the future of others.

In Chapter 60: “At The End of the Pilgrimage”, Batista failed in his attempt to kill Zora and was seemingly killed by her.

After cutting off his own arm and replacing it with Zora’s, Batista asks Zora if she has seen this future as well, even wondering if this is the Calamity that she has foreseen.

Batista states that there is nothing in this world worth protecting, except one thing, and that is the past.

Yes, his lost past with Hartley, the past taken away from him because of the future, the future set in stone by Mado’s vision, where he would lose the family he could have built.

We see Batista’s body and Ishida might have inserted a Tarot card reference with the Tower on his abdomen, which represents the need for change and transformation.

Interpretations are: (a) on the negative side, catastrophe is coming, (b) on the positive side, the destruction/inversion of the Tower is the solution to a problem since the Tower could be built on faulty foundations, which fits Batista’s worldview regarding both Zora and Mado, two beings who see the future and built religious cults centered on imperfect visions.

There is one other meaning that could be relevant: When things break transform, they do so to make room for new experiences, something Batista needs for his story as he refuses any other path than to return to the past and fix it.

Batista’s transformation destroys Zora’s throne room, covering it in a ball of light, from which he reforms as a being with multiple sleeves, root-like tendrils for legs and a Noh Mask with three faces.

The Keepers open fire but Batista deflects every shot back effortlessly and with one orb, Batista wipes the opposition away, ending this part of the chapter.

Part 2: The New Choujin X Universe

Released on April 12, 2025, Part 2 has 34 pages for a total of 59 pages.

We continue with Michael covering everyone with a telekinetic barrier and Arthur One firing his Sand Gatling in an effort to crush Batista with blasts he cannot fire back.

With one flick of his new hand, Batista erases the sand that hides the bullets and fires them back at Arthur, who suddenly turns into a baby.

Zora explains that the Power of X is giving form to the desires of its users, which in Batista’s case is the power of time.

The world is a fabric sown together with threads and sewing of cause and effects, so Batista’s power untangles that.

But to acquire his intended outcome, Batista first changes his multiple eyes to be able to read every outcome possible.

Suddenly, a ton of information flows into Batista as he sees all of Zora’s experiences.

We see pages from the Bible in Latin: the Gospel of John being given prominent mention due to the origin of Jesus Christ, the Word made Flesh.

This fits in two ways: first because Zora is a Catholic Nun and would have read this or even be fixated by it in her vision to prevent the Calamity.

Second, because the Word Made Flesh could also represent how the soul/desire in Choujin manifests a form, flesh like what is happening right now with Batista gaining the power of X.

X by the way is also the shape of the Cross and an important part of Christ’s name in Greek, the “chi” character, so the power of X is treated as a culmination of divine fulfillment.

Anyway, Batista struggles to maintain his sanity with all this information overload, just like what happened to anyone who has accessed the Gate of Truth in Fullmetal Alchemist through the forbidden art of Human Transmutation.

Never having seen so much power in his life, Sandek calls for an evacuation of the vicinity of the Omega Tower, except something is off.

Above them, the sky looks stitched up like seams.

Tokio thinks Batista turned the entire world into a melon but Zora corrects him, saying that this is the power to rewrite the world.

Even as she lost the Mark, she is still connected to it and knows what is going on.

Even the speech bubbles are covered in stitches to show that Batista is able to warp all of reality, including the story of Choujin X itself.

People are disappearing as they are affected by the seams

Zora explains that Batista’s original power is Gravity like Sandek, the ability to distort and crush space and manipulate objects.

Meanwhile, the Nue has the power to sew abilities into another body.

“If Fate is the plot God wrote… then steal the pen… and lay waste to the story.”

This is the fulfillment of that deal: by combining the two powers of Gravity and Sewing (Haginophany Pilfer), Batista has the power to sew the world and

Zora clarifies, however, he is not actually interfering with the past but replacing it with a “convenient past”, essentially replacing a broken cup with its original state from before it was broken.

And to do this, he has to break the cup, the world, apart in order to change it into a different shape.

The explosion comes and everyone is engulfed in it, sending them into the tapestry woven by Batista, with the chapter ending with the full shape of the new Yamato Mori, a fleshy mound of eyes and Batista calling out to Hartley.
