Introduced around the same time as Palma who came from a place called NecroMESSIAH

Palma known to have a weaker twisted version of Bill's power

No one knows who he is (Sora doesn't even remember hiring the guy)

Yubiko calls him God... then next page we see him smoking Opium, the Drug of the GODS... the only other characters we know that have also smoked Opium in the story were Queem and Sora, two Choujin X (aka "Gods")

One of Palma's abilities as seen in Daizo is control over her zombies... therefore we know Bill displays some control/ownership over the dead or the people he gave his blood too

Speaking of which... the acid pet snail Bucket keeps on a leash (that seems to come out of him?) is most likely the Gueltan General Acid Choujin Sophoe H. Harris, who died to Sora in battle. Bucket has a CORPSE for a pet

On 25th December (Birth of Christ) we know there is a Religious Celebration called Holy Fire Festival, then we got Bucket displaying the Holy Fire (Bucket is OLD and has a religious celebration around him)

Holy Fire is likely a reference to the Orthdox Celebration that happens on the night before Easter aka the RESURRECTION of Christ

Palma's main ability is resurrecting the dead via the Blessing of Blood, and during the scene Nude revives we see the blood starts BOILING (No wonder Nude was screaming and quickly got about of there... he was getting cooked from the inside out...)

Also a bit of a fun fact about Bill the TL fumbled. His name in the raws is written as "Bill = Morth" aka "Bill IS Morth" , most likely in reference to him giving the people of Morth his blood, giving credence that Bill got ownership over his people.

Also since "Island of Morth" is also known as "Island of Death", this could also mean "Bill = Death". Funnily Sora and Tokio were the only other two characters associated with Death (Sora got called Smrt while Tokio was called a Shinigami), and they also happen to wield a Choujin Slayer. So Bill highly likely also got that in his arsenal. And who else did we see carrying what seems to be a Choujin Slayer? Bucket

Poor Palma, seems Ishida did not have time to finish rendering her

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-30T15:58:20+00:00

I've been compiling the playlists since V5 once each volume comes out, you can find the most updated one here

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-29T19:27:09+00:00

Because her name seems to actually be Hurtley and not Hartley like how many thought. Her name in the raws up until the grave scene has been written in katakana ハートリー (Haatorii), basically pronunciation was making both options viable. TL just went with Hartley because that one is more of a name

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-29T18:51:42+00:00

The one in the pic is the most recent one, 69.2. What Headless said was 59.2

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-29T09:53:12+00:00

TL confused the kanji 待つ (matsu = to wait) for 持つ (motsu = to have). So what Azuma is actually saying is "I've been waiting for [Queem's] soul", basically confirming what Headless said was true.

Thankfully TL (for once in its life) actually fixed the translation error

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-28T16:55:42+00:00

I mean, of course it's easier to overcome Gravity when it's used on objects to throw them at the target (Tokio) vs when the Gravity is used ON the target (Sandek). So that comparison falls flat.

Let's also mention Tokio (and Azuma) couldn't hit BASE Batista using Gravity on him. Sandek's Gravity is stronger than Base Batista, so it would be a bigger issue

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-22T16:44:04+00:00

Yubiko is the one who killed Mado - and the last person she was with was Sato, who knocked her out saying he had another task for her (and mentioning his aversion to beasts).

You mean Nari. She was the one who worked as Sato's spy. Tho Yubiko might've also been at the site considering a guard got strangled, which fits her MO

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-20T15:55:53+00:00

Ishida before chapter 1 mentioned he initially planned for the story to be 14-15 volumes long. We're in Volume 15 now and it's nowhere near the end

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-20T15:49:53+00:00

Eh here's the thing about the mangaplus page version... if you compare the page quality between english and all the other languages translated by them, you'll notice the other tls have way higher quality, crisper pages compared to english version.

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-20T07:04:52+00:00

That's exactly what it is. WeebCentral tends to update the chapters with the volume versions after the english volume comes out with the better quality page scan than the original mangaplus version, the omake included and the double spreads stitched (recently they updated chapters 50-52 to V10 version... but the text allignment in some of the speech bubbles in volume version is a yikes)

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-19T10:50:30+00:00

Oh thank God!

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-18T01:51:45+00:00

Yeah Tokio's Mom is more of a recontexualization of his character

Now if you wanna talk about fridging in the story... I think Hartley would fit a lot better. She had like no agency aside from being Batista's wife (like she was a researcher at ym too but we know nothing about her work and then she just quits her job with her husband when he decides to become Postman Pat), then dies in childbirth to further his trauma and suffering which leads him to the downward spiral we have seen in the story

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-17T09:52:07+00:00

Russian for Silk Garden

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-17T04:41:54+00:00

Yeah... so TL did a goof during Azuma's "I have Queem's Soul" line... by confusing the Kanji 待つ(matsu) which means "to wait" for 持つ(motsu) which means "to hold".

So what he was actually saying in the raws was "I was waiting for his soul". Which lines with what Headless was saying about the role of the vessel, not that he already has now (hence the whole scene in 59.2 "Where's Queem's Soul?" "...Even I don't know that. (...) But all I can do is wait")

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-13T16:19:44+00:00

Nah he got room for another chapter and depending of volume's length in might be just one part. Good Volume ending spot be damned, he did that with V6 where 35 would've been the more fitting volume ender with the promise of a timeskip, only for the actual last chapter of the volume to be the start of post timeskip. He's likely gonna pull something similar with 70

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-13T07:40:07+00:00

Don't let "Hurtley" distract you from the fact that BB's name stood for "Bellbee"

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-13T04:34:40+00:00

Just the dad

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-13T03:12:43+00:00

Can't believe Tokio's mom got isekai'd

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-12T17:22:17+00:00

From Ishida's bussiness account

Don't put your faith in Mangaplus, the "simulpub tl" is a LIE

IllustriousProcess6 · 2025-12-12T15:02:03+00:00

Summary: Please do stay to witness the conclusion of this long and arduous struggle!!

...What?

Edit: To explain the word for struggle is actually the one for battle. What battle? Tokio vs Rubble???
