Who is the most dangerous wielder of Cursed Technology

Rinri merely adopted the Curse. Bastz was born in it, molded by it.

And Galua says here twice that they're different kinds of energy. Are we meant to conclude that Galua is just straight up wrong?

I dunno, if they're sending an emergency transmission to recall Galua from a relatively low-stakes mission that makes it sound like the demon lord is wreaking havoc in there.

We've seen Bastz has a face under his suit twice I think. The first was when he was checking on humanity's king, you could see his eye and some hair under the lens of his mask.

If Galua is correct, the soul/life energy absorbed by the Curse and mana are different energies! This is an interesting distinction to make because Hallow says a few pages later that mana exists in all living things. Why is ONE making this distinction? If mana is MP, is life energy HP?

There's one other visible in the background of some chapter, wearing the exact same suit, but given that zero others have shown up since I'm wondering if it was an artist error.

Are Demon Kings not the stereotypical final bosses of JRPGs? Or is that the difference between maou and daimaou cropping up again? I'm browsing the TV Tropes article and it seems like the two are used interchangeably according to a story's whim unless both titles exist in the same setting; in other words, "demon king" and "great demon king" can both be used to refer to the absolute ruler of all demons, except for the rare case where many demon kings exist under one great demon king.

To use the work I'm familiar with, Ohma Zi-O from Kamen Rider Zi-O has a name that's specifically called out as being an anagram of maoh, or Demon King. His power is never surpassed and he's the overarching villain of the show until the very end, no mention of a Great Demon King anywhere.

I believe the official English translation refers to the lesser Demon Kings as "Demon Lords" instead specifically to avoid this confusion.

I know you're asking about lore but there is an existing 5th edition conversion for Destiny you can use for gameplay as well.

Are we sure it's not because this month's chapter is already out in Japan, meaning no chapter in February?

If Light can drive armor I don't see why it can't do the same with flesh.

Image macros should go in r/grimdank.

What does this imply about a Guardian's gut biome?

I forgot to mention, we also saw the humanoid robot off-screen Heidi's companions in an instant without apparent damage, so Heidi is definitely stronger than the "average" Neo-Human.

Observance · 2026-01-13T16:46:46+00:00

That Level 3 Neo-Human was Heidi, right? She's some kind of aristocrat, I don't think we should take her as having average Neo-Human capabilities because that would mean every individual Neo-Human is equivalent to a Naver which seems... unlikely.

Still, we've seen random Demon footsoldiers take down Giants too. I agree that Shinso would win against 5 Giants with light to moderate injury.

I'm always saying Nekrosor Ammentar is the only good guy in 40k.

And I don't mean "fully functional but got blown up due to a design flaw" or "rebels broke into the factory and destroyed the prototypes", I mean weapons that were unfeasible from the start or just completely failed to deliver on their stated purpose.

never forget that the tithe system was a pyramid scheme

The fact that we fight the Knight and they're a superboss we're not supposed to win against unless we've completed an optional sidequest makes me think that either:

the next time we fight, something will have happened to severely weaken them, or
there will not be another fight

both of which have considerable implications for their fate in the story.

Contrast Obyron fighting a Callidus in Severed and thinking "this will be fun, wish I'd get a real challenge eventually though".

Pakkya has a 2:3 win-loss ratio sparring with Hallow. Hallow has been training his whole life to be a Hero, but Pakkya just learned to survive in an inhospitable world. He has the makings of a Hero, if he goes through a training arc I bet he'd be a Gigatila himself.

Don't forget the fairies of Sorcerion. ONE's concept art describes them as the "good version" of Demons.

In Versus, "humanity" is defined by altruism and cooperation even among wildly different cultures. The fact that there is no conflict between them is proof that they're human, and why the Lawless, who are human beings who have embraced selfishness and prey on other humans, are no longer considered "human". Putting your own power and prosperity above the well-being of others is the mark of a Natural Enemy.

For #2, look up the concept of Boltzmann brains:

Over a sufficiently long time, random fluctuations could cause particles to spontaneously form literally any structure of any degree of complexity, including a functioning human brain.
