That's how you get tinnitus

I like how Rosemaster got a massive power boost before this battle but so far all she's done is use status effects on the party

Good thing the Hocus Crocus didn't go to a boss with attacks that actually deal direct damage, huh

Not just you. At the very least, it's being used as a symbolic focal point. Could be something more to it.

Rosemaster is using her power over flowers to make Almond see Carrot as a 'villain'.

I am probably just bad at visual comprehension, but I can't quite make out what's happening in the last panel. Did she actually attack him, or is he just jumping back as she draws her sword?

He's falling backwards and there are drops of something drifting in the air. Also look at the angle of her sword and her stance.

Status effects are the most powerful spells. If your enemies can't do anything, you've already won.

Wait a second...did Rosemaster use the crocus to absorb Glitchmaster? :psyboom: Cause suddenly I see GM's theme applied with RM's style ever since that.

Glitchmaster's "theme" is the comic's code and art actually becoming corrupt and falling apart.

Rosemaster DX has just added Noir lighting.

Meant color scheme. GM's color scheme is melding with Rosemaster's style. Even the word bubble styles have merged. Glitchmaster's word bubbles had a bright tron outline, and now Rosemaster's do too, but much more subtle color contrast than before.

edit:VVVVVVV

the wildest rear end posted:

Glitchmaster's color scheme is blue, not red, though.

e: On further inspection, Glitchmaster's color scheme seems to be "whatever she feels like at the moment"

And when RM used the Crocus on Glitchmaster, it was very very red. :)

edit2:

Fourth panel. Looks drat near identical to me.

Big pile of what-ifs incoming:

What if Glitchmaster's main power is simply that of something akin to illusions?
What if, on Caboodle's flying saucer, GM's attack as NK wasn't a display of power, but a physics trick? Cosmo surely sabotaged the saucer during his time on it, the gang couldn't even use the controls. I don't think GM crushed them with her overbearing might, but simply sent a command to the saucer to suddenly accelerate upward at full thrust. This would also explain why the saucer ended up being high enough to be eaten by the Sun.
What if Rosemaster absorbed this power with the Hocus Crocus?
And what if the giant wooden sculpture turning into RM is also an illusion?

Almond might have simply tripped and the lightningroot was part of the illusion. What is most telling is Carrot not reacting to a giant moving Rosemaster Sculpture even though it is within full view of him. All he is reacting to is Almond finding him and he's trying to compose himself to give out an explanation. He even asks her if she's listening, not "What the hell is that?!" or a "OH MY GOSH!".

Or maybe I am putting too much thought into Silly Bunnyman Land.

"Go on until you're stopped."
Nothing annoys the Nightmare Knight like people who make knights look bad, especially since his own success rate is kind of terrible.

Presumably Double Night sees something of himself in Carrot, since we have a knight who's stopped trying and a knight who's actively sabotaging himself. Together, they fight crime!
