But it's fine, I guess...

You just keep being you!

Careful with that axe Sword, Eugene Parley.

I'm waiting with bated breath for further hyjinks from this sword. What's funny is how Anne and Kat even did tests on it, revealing how insanely dangerous the sword is, and still decided "Yup, let's give it to some to use."

It does seem a bit careless of her. Robot doesn't seem armed, and perhaps Robot silently stepped closer to look at the blade just as Parley was turning.

Oh well. Kat can build him an even more humanoid body, now.

Kat can ask the robots to do pretty much anything.

"Hey robots who keep hanging around the shrine to Jeanne, would you please get me an iron girder?"

It seemed to me to be a slip up. If you just tapped the robot with a normal sword nothing would even happen. And all she heard from Kat was that it was "really drat sharp", she didn't know that it cuts through ball bearings. Probably she was expecting the sword to bounce off of robot or at the least just leave a nick.

Indeed. Swords don't cut metal, if they did you wouldn't be able to parry them. An experienced swordfighter given a new sword will assume it is still essentially a sword.

The question is, can it cut vengeful spirits? And also what is it gonna look like in the ether, cause coyote himself looks freaking awesome.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

And we care about this shitty poster...why?
Aren't most of the court robots programmed to love Jeanne? You know, the whole "She died and we did nothing" thing. I wonder if Robot might have objections to their plan that involves potentially murdering Jeanne's ghost with a sword made out of a god's tooth?

also, I wonder if the general robotic fixation on angels has to do with their programming to love Jeanne. I mean, Diego probably didn't literally program his robots to love her in the same romantic way he loves her, he might've programmed them to look up to her as an angel instead. Maybe their obsession with Kat is a result of their love-circuits getting crossed somehow?

Undoubtedly. Kat fixes them when they break and she helped them find the image of their goddess, therefore she is an angel in the service of their beloved goddess Jeanne.

Since I predict a lot of people are going to misinterpret that last panel, a pre-emptive Shadow 2 was not cut.

The blade fell downward, the tip hit the ground right next to Shadow 2, then the whole sword tipped over, and the point went under Shadow 2, acting as a lever that pulled him up, over the sword, as it came to rest.

Shadow 2 is not cut in half, he's just shaped like this, as viewed from the side. (the * is where the sword is):

Next panel: vast amounts of blood spraying everywhere. Then the sword slides along the floor, cutting Smitty's foot off. Annie tries to run, but it's too late. THE END.

Which is kinda interesting, because I would have thought the sword would also just slice shadow 2 in...2.

Unless it can't hurt etheric beings for some reason (I doubt it though).

That's actually possible. It could be Smitty's power in play in demonstrating this, preventing them from finding out the hard way with Jeanne.

Cutting Shadow 2 in half wouldn't really be very funny, now would it? Scaring everyone buy cutting him from the floor, on the other hand...

This is assuming that Robot can be repaired shortly, which is a fair assumption.
