Sword Hand>"The angel's war arts are meant to battle foes of stone, fire, and primordial darkness. I shudder to think what horrors they would wreak upon flesh" - Musko Reeve
>>153586595that drawing at the bottom is unfinished
>>153586595Always nice to get a new Musko Reeve quote. I hope one day we get to see the canon appearance of History's Strongest Hamster
>>153586595Fully admit I'm whinging here... but couldn't we JUST get a single comic page of white chain slapping Michael with ki rata? Just one clear-cut pimp-slap? I feel like this whole battle sequence that's been going on for months is just one "Yeah BUT" after another... Oh look... Alison just kicked a ship in half...but NOPE! Now she's bleeding from her nose from the effort... but wait, Alison is gonna instead kick some...NOPE...leather nun to the face! Oh look... Gog is about to kick some...NOPE! Angels to the face! Oh look white chain is about to... NOPE! Juggy mercing her friends and obviously distracting her from going all total life obliteration on Michael.
>>153586595>Juggernaut Star got absolutely washed 1v1'ing the old guy in the tournament>takes him down in 3 panels this time around????
>>153586863K6bd is the Kenga Omega of k6bd.
>>153586595Kinda sad Juggs isn't turning on her master here, I was hoping for that.
>>153586863Abbatroon finally makes a based panel showing a femoid being weak and stupid and this is what you whine about?
>>1535868966 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe... he's "scaling the wall"...
>>153586669Reeves is long long dead, he wrote before Rayuba was destroyed the first time
>>153586885Everyone on the hero team seems to be jobbing hard in this conflict
>>153586920It might be a "subversion" to introduce a really badass looking character, then have them job every single time they appear for 100s of pages, THEN have them actually be a badass at the end. But it's not very narratively satisfying.
>>153586885White Chain spaced juggs out back in the tournament for long enough for Vigilant Gaze's 30 second attack animation to finish. No such luck here.
>>153586919I know, I just mean like Abby posting a sketch on twitter or something
>>153586896>You were awesome, Jagganoth. Definitely one of the top 5 strongest demiurges I've ever fought
Anyone else think Juggs' character design should really have huge tits?
>>153586941Vigilant Gaze is still another fucking angel. You thik he could have put up any kind of fight at all.
>>153586595grampa's gonna need more than a cup hat and snacks to get over this one.
>>153586916Me when I'm at a circus in Throne and see all the clowns
Don't angels explode when you split their body?
>>153586958Kek
>>153586920>>153586937Exactly. That's the core of my whinge... its not satisfying to watch the hero team get janked for over a year now. This battle started in May 2025... It's going to lead to one ungodly comeback moment or something very unsatisfying, either being a little hard to swallow or a lot hard to swallow...Either way, can't shit talk Abby's efforts... I'm just looking this gift horse in the mouth like a dentist.
>>153586863The release schedule is messing with your sense of the pacing. This is the start of their fight.
>>153586595We are officially in the "Secondaries get slaughtered" season.
>>153586863>Fully admit I'm whinging here... but couldn't we JUST get a single comic page of white chain slapping Michael with ki rata? Just one clear-cut pimp-slap? I feel like this whole battle sequence that's been going on for months is just one "Yeah BUT" after another... Oh look... Alison just kicked a ship in half...but NOPE!

Oh look white chain is about to... NOPE! Juggy mercing her friends and obviously distracting her from going all total life obliteration on Michael.t.
>>153586995Jugs could have spent 30 days training in the hyberbolic time chamber for all we know. There's no telling what kinds of buffs she has now, and she's going to be performing hard not to fail in front of Metatron and 2 Michael. Moreover, she already knows how to perform the Art which has always been OP and supposedly impossible for an angel to do.
>>153586995Vigilant Gaze was getting his ass kicked before by Juggs in the tournament. It took White CHain pulling Juggs out of her angelic armor for Gaze to have enough time to great horse chariot beam Juggs without Juggs being able to react.
>>153586896Allison will beat Jag by exploiting the "gaps"
>>153586981I do. Same can be applied to pretty much any character in the comic.
>>153588066Nobody here reads the comic
>>153586885>Only the good guys are allowed to improve over several years of training arcs
>>153586981Bust size correlates to Royalty. Until Jugs self-actualizes she stays in the itty bitty titty committee.
>>153586595>Michael still doesn't know
>>153586937>It might be a "subversion" to introduce a really badass looking character, then have them job every single time they appear for 100s of pages, THEN have them actually be a badass at the end. Will they though?
>>153588066Is Jugg's wind of obliteration foreshadowing Jagg's "no space that is not a sword" attack?
>>153590812It's more embarrassing that Metatron doesn't know. Strongest being in existence with all of those eyes watching the battlefield and he hasn't yet spotted donut Zaid? His face will be worse than picrel at the realization that his time was wasted.
>>153591972It would be even more embarrassing if he DID know, but couldn't speak because of the old law. So he'd just be floating there, seething with impotent rage behind his stony poker face
>>153586595Do my eyes deceive me? Juggernaut Star NOT JOBBING and actually holding the ADVANTAGE?!This fight looks a little tame as is but fuck, given the powerlevels of most people involved it SHOULD hold promise.>>153586863Michael is powerful enough to shred a Demiurge with a single strike in a world where most Demiurges shred most angels, if anyone deserves a prolonged fight scene int's him.>>153586885I'm going to be EXTREMELY generous and point out>Juggernaut Star showed up at the tournament primarily to tear apart White Chain for insubordination>Juggs was, credit where it's due, stunlocking Vigilant Gaze pretty hard with Patram Sword Hand before WC left her body and surprised her by yoinking out her soul. >Juggs is on 6 incarnations, VG on 10>The lore for that Fierce Horse Soul technique states that it requires tremendous concentration as well as extremely close range, Juggs is effectively sealing it off as long as she keeps throwing blows that matter at himEven though honestly yeah, between that and how this fight as whole has gone it really feels like Abby just wants to get everything over with>>153586896I HATE how right you are.
>>153586995I can't blame people for forgetting ye olde tumblr lore after how hard Juggs has underperformed, but I vividly remember Abby calling Juggs a super duper special snowflake as angels go. Being able to use the Art at all (to travel vast distances) is NOT a normal angelic power. There's also the fact that Juggs' calling is devastation and VG's was...standing vigil at a gate.Seniority aside, ON PAPER Juggs SHOULD be exactly as devastating as she is here. It's just unfortunate this page came after the Rayuba tournament which does give the impression the only thing saving her scrawny ass from another horse motion beam is stunlocking.>>153587053Have to split it HARD, White Chain didn't instantly die when Juggs cracked her for example. And Juggs successfully feinted out Maya by getting her to slash the humanoid body instead of the wheel she was in at the time.>>153586981Juggs seems to hate herself for what she is. She would slice hers off if she could. She might be trying for all we know. >>153591779The pattern DOES seem similar. More fuel for my "Juggs died trying to protect Jag" theory.>>153591972>doesn't knowI'm actually with >>153592826 on this one considering Metatron is allegedly instigating the cycle through Zoss. For all his control, Abby said Zoss is Royalty and Metatron is the conceited creature of a dead world.
>>153593216>Juggs seems to hate herself for what she is. She would slice hers off if she could. She might be trying for all we know.i'm pretty sure she's also a closeted transgirl/humanaboo.
The tranny stuff really tainted the whole webcomic huh
>>153593292Given angelic cultural norms, I think we need a definition of self-hatred that exceeds being a mere self-hating transgirl. Juggs' existence is not just a violation of her gender identity, but her metaphysical ontology. She is supposed to be the Speaker for Thorns, the herald of cleansing fire that remakes a fundamentally broken and tyrant-infested corpse reality into paradise, and she herself is wracked by an unwanted disease of insipid gender.It's like, I don't know, being an angel and finding yourself turning into a demon one day for no discernible reason. Or who knows, maybe Juggs knows why she's all fucked up since she seems to understand the cycle on some level
>>153592826That doesn't make any sense as he will be expecting Zoss to rewind the wheel any way.
>>153586595Juggs has been TOO quiet these past few pages, they fucking did something awful to her.
>>153593352Or more of the same but for longer. Maybe Juggs is just tired of all this shit.
>>153593410If she were just tired she wouldn't be absolutely wrecking Vigilant, there's a new fire in her and it's more painful than ever before
>>153593348Agreed. It's intellectually lazy to boil down JS's situation as trans issues. Humanity is so below the angelic race that to them JS having a human female form is like a man who turned into a species of amoeba that makes life harder for humanity and this man secretly likes it. Most of society would be disgusted to see the permeable shapeless membrane underneath his human skin and how badly he wants to perform mitosis and give them dysentery.
>>153593503The tragedy of the angelic race is that the main thing stopping them from being the dominant species of the Wheel is...themselves. Or rather, Koss beating the Old Law into them. If it wasn't for their fundamental inability to disobey the imperatives that define much of their behaviour and if it wasn't for the resulting emergent cultural disdain for change of any kind as well as poor capability to adapt to a changing multiverse, they'd never have stopped being the dominant force in Throne. To a thing that measures time in kalpa, becoming human must be like Gregor's metamorphosis. But with the shame of actually enjoying being the big stinky cockroach.
>>153590588Bruh, the only characters with fat tits are Maya and Jadis neither of which are anywhere close to royalty. And Ally or WC tits are just sad.
Reminder that fatties can not be Royal.
Who the fuck is Musko Reeve?Sounds like something Lucas would name one of the background characters in SW.
>>153588803There will be a gap within the gap.
>>153586595VIGILANT GAZE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>153594870I can tell you've been distracted by the pretty picture instead of reading the real story of the bottom texts.
>>153595227Rite, lil bro doesn't even know that gungans are canon in this lmao.
>>153595227I can't imagine going through the comic like that, the bottom texts are unironically better than the main story
>>153595407lol no they arent
>>153595227Buddy, I haven't reread this shit in ages. You expect me to remember every "this guy was so retarded he was actually the wisest of Yisuns pupils" bottom text?
>>153595493At this point it seems like being retarded just means that you are in fact retarded and that whole royalty thing is a meme that never existed.
>>153595578Yes anon, God(Yisun) was a retard that is the premise of the setting
>>153590843
>>153595407The liturgy at the bottom adds both richness and depth to the story, but in no way are they better than the main story.
>>153586595>my angel gf handing his own ass to my angel dadI'm conflicted by this
>>153595578Royalty is ultimately a meaningless label which powerful people give to themselves because they wish to believe they are righteous, royalty has saved nobody and righted no ills. Even the gods show this, in spite of hansa's royalty in the end he rots, seething in his house of iron nails.
>>153591779>>153593216>The pattern DOES seem similar. More fuel for my "Juggs died trying to protect Jag" theory.More like confirming the immortality nails in Jagganoth's body were forged from Juggernaut's plucked feathersHell maybe she inspired Jagganoth's techniques
>>153594870A Servant who wrote the definitive guide to martial arts thousands of years ago. If the bot text explains what a martial art is, it's probably quoting from him. https://killsixbilliondemons.fandom.com/wiki/Manual_of_Hands_and_Feet
>>153597373Royalty is meaningless because in the end a person gets tired of continuously cutting. Royalty has allowed a lot of feats and righted ills, but the passage of time erases all. The gods killed themselves because existing forever continuously chasing a new goal that in time will become meaningless is torture. I wouldn't be surprised if Allison dies in 30 odds years simply because she's done all she wants to do and doesn't care to live longer. She is stupidsmart like that.
>>153597715i thought it was metatrons feathers?
>>153600306WoG hasn't confirmed whose feathers they were, but Jugs is the only angel shown whose feathers have been plucked.
>>153597135I think you meant "my angel gf handing my angel dad his own ass".
>>153595227It's a terrible way of adding story. I don't want Final Fantasy XIII shit tier data logs for important shit. It's a comic, not a fucking novel
>>153601253Loser
>>153601340You can't even form a legitimate rebuttal because it's true. I also tend to skip the comments section, because they seem insufferable forcing their Erp roleplay shit to everyone else
>>153586595The broader fight's been okay so far, visually, but as always with everything else he's in, the most entertaining part of it has been Incubus, and I have issues with that. I shouldn't get the most enjoyment out of a rat bastard albino Lucifer/Hooded One from Bone lookalike as he aura farms, I should be basedfacing my heart out at what the main characters are doing.
>>153601537Unfortunately the main characters have decided its way funnier to eat shit and job.
>Both Metatron and Jag have been alluded to as essentially the antithesis of Royalty>Metatron knows more than Michael about what's going on and interacts with reality on a whole different level>Jag has been fighting and winning against the Heir for longer than even he remembers and knows he's won every time and thinks that Metatron is behind them, but not WHY the cycles happen>Jagganoth was given angelic feathers; most likely by Juggs given the visual cues during the Solomon arc. Juggs has said she is Michael and Metatron's slave>Juggs says that the cycles will not cease until Zoss is satisfied>As some have observed, Jagg's Supreme Divine Art bears some similarities to Pattram Sword Hand-and now, Michael's own sword style>As has been repeatedly brought up, angels have become EXTREMELY selective about which Old Laws they enforce, with Metatron himself powergaming enough to let the Thorns slay freely by some warped definition of protecting Throne>Our biggest hint at Metatron's motivation is devotion to YISUN so great he won't even speak lest his love escape>YISUN, as is well known, An Hero'd to create the multiverse>Jagganoth is invincible on a level Abby said even YISUN can't destroy for a "specific reason">YISUN's death resulted in the other gods and eventually the multiverse>Jagganoth is trying to destroy the multiverse in a process he BELIEVES will liberate it from Metatron's slavery>The goal of the Thorn Knights, 1 Metatron's direct servants, is to purify reality with bloodhsed and return Throne to a pre-Zoss stateHear me out. What if we're missing the forest for the trees? What if 2 Michael is wrong, and JAGGANOTH is Metatron's anointed stand-in for God?
>>153603262I'd believe it if Metatron is able to control Jag somehow because if Metatron loves the multiverse (aka what's left of YISUN aka YISUN) he cannot allow Jag to destroy them.
