What is this. What the hell is this. Why the hell did I just inhale the anime and all of the manga available right now When I first heard of this, I was pretty sure it would be terrible ("Humanoid gem stones looking like teenagers, and everyone's named after a different one!"), but oh boy. I'm kinda glad this kept getting recommended to me. This seriously feels like a Madoka situation - I avoided it for too long AND it's seriously intriguing, depressing and kinda existentially terrifying. I'm also really impressed just how much thought went into a setting that initially seems like a bad webcomic (sorry...). Guess now I'm stuck waiting for new chapters like everybody else. Sure seems like there's a Phos vs. Bort showdown somewhere in the future. God I fuckin love that there is seriously a character named Bort

Bort nothing, the thing I'm interested in is the part where LAPIS being restored is a possibility and uh, what're we doing with Phos' whole situation then? e: I guess the moon crew could just restore lapis shorter than before

Also regardless of how Sensei told the truth, Rutile is still probably very Not Okay with Phos taking Padparadscha. Like, Phos is absolutely going to be thinking "hey if I just come back down with Pad in one piece and awake, surely Rutile will be okay with it!" and that isn't gonna be the case at all.

Conflict with the rest back on earth also seems inevitable, if only because we just had a declaration by the remaining gems that they want to keep things as they are with Adamant - which might just be what kept him from giving in to the Lunarians. They're effectively back to stasis again, and I love how it dawns on Phos they might have to do more drastic things to get things moving, AT ALL, in any direction. I feel like the comic has done really a good job so far showing the frustration from dealing with Adamant... Gonna be really interesting what Cinnabar does with that whole mess.

From the sounds of things it's gonna take years and years, decades, possibly centuries to get the gems back. I mean, they were literally ground up into moondust. Never mind putting them back together, just getting all the grains needed for one gem is gonna take forever and a half.

Should be interesting to see how that plays out, seeing as the gems are immortals with no particular concern with time ticking by, while the lunarians are all about getting over this whole poo poo ASAP.

I can't tell who that is with the knives. Rutile? I think they're a bit upset.

If they've spent millenia putting gems back together it stands to reason that Rutile would be the most effective in taking them apart. I also speculate that Cinnabar may have a role soon as they can either turn the tide or shut down a fight, because going against them is risking mutually assured destruction.

What if the special job that only Cinnibar can do is take down the weird chimera that Phos has become?

Gosh, why do the moon people have to be so god dang nice, it's gonna break my heart when things inevitably turn belly up It's gonna be really interesting what Rutile is going to do, now that Padparadscha is out and about and (presumably?) actually fixed. I would not be surprised if they're having their own agenda in all of this - Pad almost definitely knows a lot more than letting on. I suppose Phos will actually get a chance to talk to Adamant, only for things to escalate from Pad's side somehow. And that's where Cinnabar comes in. THIS CAN ONLY GO WROOOOOONG This whole talk about Adamant's "love" and the static structure of crystals formed around him kinda makes me think that Phos, in some way, is actually starting to become what he most yearned for. Phos is the only one (???) who actually escaped that structure, who keeps evolving, who keeps breaking boundaries. Even though Phos certainly suffers for it, they're probably the closest to having actual freedom. I, like, REALLY want that Adamant - Phos confrontation to happen

I'm so confused. Pad shatters Cinnabar and tosses Phos out of the way of her mercury but...into Bort's hair? But in the panel before that Bort is clearly in the other direction??

It isn't exactly clear but I believe Phos has recovered from the toss and is running back towards Pad and Bort and gets sliced when they are back in range. But yeah it is like there is a missing page of Phos landing and seeing Pad get glomped

Ok, I understood, like, zero of the action going on here, only that suddenly everyone was hosed up What happened to Pad? Are they just... gone?  I'm really curious what's going on with Pad, they were basically in full massacre mode the moment they arrived.I'm also wondering what Cairngorm's end game is, here. If they're acting on Aechma's orders, it could just be that he saw Phos getting overwhelmed and said gently caress it, revert to the old plan. Or he never intended to honor their agreement to begin with. Or it's a way of bailing Phos & co out while faking their "deaths". Aaaaaaargh there's just too much that could happen, it's maddening Bonus hosed-up possibility: Cairngorm wanted to do this on their own

Yeah it's confusing and probably could have used an extra page or two: Padparadscha goes fuckin' wild and takes out Rutile and the three other gems who had cornered Yellow Diamond. Phos and Bortz are fighting when Cinnabar leaps in and throws up a massive wall of their poison mercury: Page 10: Cinnabar jumps in with mercury already thrown at Phos, but Padparadscha flings out a massive sword-shockwave aimed at Cinnabar to damage them and presumably changes the trajectory of the mercury. Page 11: Cinnabar is smashed to poo poo. Phos gets stabbed in the back by Padparadscha who flings them away to safety but in return gets mercury in their hair. Bortz also gets covered in mercury but offscreen. Page 12: Phos goes towards Padparadscha to check on them and gets blindsided by Bortz' hair-blades. We see the bisected area get coated in mercury poison. Page 13: The result. Phos in two pieces, Bortz down, and Cinnabar limbless and smashed. Pad offscreen. Everyone just coated in splashes of the poison mercury Then the rest of the chapter happens. This fuckin' sucks for everyone but the important thing is that Caimgorn looks great.

I think this is the end for Padparadscha: The last thing that Phos needs to have replaced to be a true Ship of Theseus is his torso, and with some kind of red gem if they want to complete the Buddhist seven treasures. Using whatever is left of Pad after the mercury is scraped away to heal Phos completes both of them at once.

And their whole behaviour in this chapter just made them only more confusing. Why did they just outright massacre gems all over the place, including Rutile? But they went to extreme lengths to keep Phos safe. Are they just that incredibly coldblooded? Did that have anything to do with Achmea? What the hell does she know??? No idea why any of this happened, but oh boy. Maybe this is all just Achmea deciding he's gonna keep live gems around as hostages this time, now that he's got multiple ones who coexist, and he only just wanted to use the raid to get more hostages... without telling Phos, naturally.

Pad's behaviour is less confusing if you remember that from their perspective they didn't massacre anyone, just quickly and decisively incapacitated some Earth gems that they possibly don't even know that well due to a history of being largely comotose

New Chapter https://mangadex.org/chapter/437811/1 Phos got played like a sucker, I'm pretty sure this is going to be a considerable blow to what little they have left. Poor Yellow though, all they wanted was to see their old friends and everyone on the moon is batshit bonkers

I think we should celebrate Phos this chapter! After all this time, they finally found a meaningful job that only Cinnbar can do: Cinnabar can protect their family from Phos.
