I would be absolutely shocked if this were the end of Juggo's involvement in the story. I mean, we'll see, and anything is possible, but I'm betting this isn't the end of him. Just a really badass-looking setback.

He didn't just get by by being an angel, though. Even among angels, he's a straight-up monster, as evidenced by him becoming leader of the most violent angel faction via violence and still not managing to die that often. White Chain is an 83, and even she hasn't seen anywhere near the level and intensity of combat that Juggernaut Star has. I get that there are bigger players out there, like Jagganoth and Metatron (and most of the tougher demiurges), but Juggs feels like a tough mid-boss rather than a starting jobber, if you get me.

I'm not surprised that Maya obliterated him. She's had Really Bad News written all over her from day one, and is placed opposite freakin' Jagganoth in the prophecy. I'm just surprised that he didn't really get to do more first.

Jugger's a badass, as evidenced by him wrecking White Chain in the void, but, yeah. He is aggressive and impetuous and tried to block an attack from a master of the art of Cutting and it was a Bad Decision. He's almost definitely coming back (possibly in a massively hosed up form after Metatron forcefully revives him or something). And, as people pointed out, he's got the lowest number for an angel we've seen except for 2 Michael, who seems less powerful and more "sits on his rear end and never gets involved" when it comes to how low his number is. If he encounters Maya again I doubt he'll make the same mistake, which could make for a considerably more balanced fight.

Or maybe not. We'll have to see, I suppose.

Osama bin Laden was a Pretty Big Deal for a while and managed to hold out for a hilariously long time against a world-spanning imperial superpower but I'm pretty sure I coulda taken him in a fistfight

this is a story where the kings of all creation have powers granting them total mastery over the universe, and they used them to murder each other and then hoard teacups, where a sword hilt in the right hands is way more dangerous than a brace of machineguns, and a self-loathing sorority girl can drink an eons-old archdemon under the table. It ain't Dragonball, everyone's legendarily powerful but that in itself is no shield from a well-placed knife in the ribs; what matters isn't who you are or what you got, it's how you use it. Juggernaut Star, like the Demiurges, attained great power and a fearsome reputation and then grew mad and complacent in his supremacy, and the first time we saw him fight someone who wasn't held down or looking the other way he started getting hosed up instantly cause he didn't have the brains to do anything but charge headlong into a scrum and assume he'd kick all the asses cause he's Juggernaut Star.

6 Juggernaut and Maya are polar opposites, at least based on what we know. Jugg is a nihilist, Maya is a hedonist. Jugg has a flawless form forged only for murder (swords shatter on his armor), Maya is covered in scars and a little bit fat. Jugg is ruled by his emotions and seems to be unable to accept any setback, Maya just now turned her back on whatever goal she has for this fight. Jugg for all his power is a lacky and a lapdog, Maya seems to have given up everything so she can act as she sees fit. She's the perfect person to humiliate 6 Juggs, since she's exactly the kind of person he'd have the most contempt for.

It doesn't look like a block, it looks like Maya gave no shits about his knife hands and just cut his attack in half along with the rest of him. Before Maya cuts him, his hand is speeding towards her. It's not that he did the wrong thing, it's that he hasn't blocked or dodged an attack in this whole fight, because he can't conceive that these stupid fragile things are a threat to him. Jugg's problem is his arrogance, and it may have just gotten him a new number.

If the comic takes that direction, I will lose faith in its awesomeness. Because if every next threat is so much bigger and badder, we're going back to power levels and comparisons with DBZ.

Yeah I've a feeling the list of people Juggernaut would be worried about fighting is pretty short. Likewise the number of practitioners of cutting is probably vanishingly small, so after millennia of slicing his way through countless chumps, his confidence was justified.

Maya is probably strong enough to go toe to toe with anything short of a Demiurge, Prime Angel or some sort of eldritch abomination--- mastery of the sanctioned art of Cutting is a big loving deal--- and I get the sense that she would avoid a fight she knows she'd lose

Can farmers use tools to harvest, or does swinging a scythe count as Cutting? Or do they reap all the wheat in one motion?

Oh yeah, he's almost definitely done for now. I mean, besides that him not being done would undercut Maya's badassery here, Abbadon said this a couple tweets before the one I linked:

https://twitter.com/Orbitaldropkick/status/771854805539041280

Jugger's almost definitely out of this fight so the book can wrap up, but this isn't the last we've seen of him.
