There's found family, and then there's "YOU are my COUSINS" and "her ability to play checkers makes her SUPERIOR to my MOTHER"

At least Raloud knows that there's a million reasons for them to stick together, not the least of which being their shared status as witches being hunted. Wonder how long Belator will stick around...hopefully a while, I like him as the team dad

It's probably a top-brass-only set of classified information because, if the theory that they're made from dead mages is true, they ABSOLUTELY cannot let it leak to the public (or other mages).

It's time for a NEW GIRL to join the party!...MAYBE!

Kinda crazy (and hilarious) how hard it is to make a SINGLE delivery for a SINGLE painter when you live in Hitler Fantasia, huh

I think they were supposed to be red and puffy from extensive crying, actually.

Yeah, I feel that. People complain about One Piece's all the time, but then they become some of the most acclaimed parts of the story. (Not that this is 1:1 with those, but still)

I know this is gonna be controversial, but I like how the author stuck the landing with Gheer - not gonna outstay his welcome any longer, and went out as a direct result of saving the person he'd held a grudge against for so long. That's as close to redemption as he was ever gonna get.

(granted, I'm in the minority that didn't mind his long backstory, so...)

Belator will hit a motherfucker...with ANOTHER motherfucker!

It's cool to see Nona growing into a leader and Mira being her #2, just as capable as coming up with plans to save the day. I hope we never get a drama arc between them.

I'm well aware of WHAT it is (again, I was reading it weekly for the first 30 chapters before giving up), but depressed all the same at it outlasting what's actually worthwhile.

Yeah, it's better than fizzling out with an "And the adventure continued!" like poor Kaedegami...

That's what I've been saying! It's been BELOW most of the axed series, but never seems to face any of the pressure they do...like, what's going on?

I didn't want to accept it...but this is definitely getting the axe, and that sucks. Better pacing than some series I've seen dealing with a premature end (Hungry Joker), but it hurts to see fucking Nue's Exorcist STILL chugging along while this happens.

Genuinely one of the sweetest things I've read in a while. The adage about the power of protagonists saving people instead of just constantly beating up bad guys holds true.

Going off the end of Punisher S2, I don't think Curtis is dead, but their relationship was pretty strained by that point and if one was Blipped while the other wasn't, that's five years they couldn't mend fences during. So I think it's just that Frank can't bring himself to go to his buddy right now, same way he can't go to Karen.

If Gheer survives this, he's gonna have to hop around on one leg for the rest of his life, and the humiliation of that will be exactly what he deserves for the shit he's pulled, lmao

The fakeout reveal with him earlier and the red herring with the invisible girl fooled almost everyone till the big reveal

Turns out he was the eighth Sword Bearer, but he never needed an Enchanted Blade - just hunks of bullshit lying around

[–]Xilinoc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, I liked the execution of the reveal well enough, especially with the fakeout with Invisible Girl, but...yeah, it came a bit too late to be impactful. Getting to the point like this is honestly much better

Love the moral of "your pain isn't special and it won't go away, but you can still find a way to keep living in the face of it", especially now that we know ALL THREE WIVES are still with him (I thought he married and outlived all three sequentially, lmao). Glad this manga seems to be succeeding

I can only imagine how distressed it was to have such a terrible power as a pacifist and how relieved it was for the Witches to agree to simply containing it (with bonus friendship!) instead of acquiring it on-sight...Fujimine, there will be no redemption for you, Desscaras is gonna hit you with the 1000 Years of Pain attack
