After all, in their last encounter, Cucco started to suspect that the Nightmare Knight may not be all he appears. Now that he has a chance to talk to him without Almond jumping to violence, maybe they can clear some things up.

Depends. I don't remember Nia squealing at the chance to get Darry into a pre-pubescent dating pool.

I had never seen that picture of Nightmare Cuco before. Thanks for posting it; this NK-apprentice-Cuco prediction is better with visuals.

Why do I get the feeling that Cucumber is going to consider jumping ship only for him or NK to get Forget-me-not'd for it.

Also I don't think anyone still had doubts but this mega-confirms that yes, the last "NK" we saw obviously wasn't really him.

I really like the new header. Kind of sums up the comic as a whole and could probably be used for the rest of the series if Gigi got lazy.

If discussing it peaceably with NK turns bad, I hope at some point the words "DIPLOMACY HAS FAILED! :allears:

What if the same dude is doomed to repeat the nightmare knight shtick until someone of his equipment type becomes the hero, and he has to somehow get them to become the NK so he can be freed

And he's been stuck with it for 100 years because the RNG hates him

A knight-type hero is faster for any%, but if you want to speedrun the NK 100% category, you need a wizard, cause he can pretty much one-cycle the final boss.

Have we tried sequence breaking to skip the summoner companion, I feel we could cut a good 20 minutes off the any% run if we did that?

This is what I was thinking. There's some whole mechanic with the disaster orbs that's never happened before because it requires magic to use and Cuco's the first hero to be a mage.

Maybe the whole NK thing is actually a curse, and Cuco would be the first mage hero that could actually attempt to break it.
