The Sparri are a brand new addition that's going to be incorporated into the next version of the draft that comes out. Tom describes them as monster hunters and technoshamans who live on a planet with literal world serpent megafauna, and when they got reintroduced to Union society they found out that mechs were a thing and they were like "hell yeah now we can hunt even BIGGER monsters."

I like how the Voladur's arm anatomy isn't quite right. It looks like it's carrying a spare like the one on its shoulder.

Do they incorporate monster parts into their mecha? Monster Hunter style?

I'm not sure but even without asking Tom I feel pretty confident that the answer is yes.

Zeno is an invulnerable bad-rear end motherfucker who can't get anything done because as he approaches his goal, it edges ever so slightly away from him.

I don't think so. Rogue angels haven't really been shy about flouting the law that we've seen. I think it's more likely that these are perfectly perfect law abiding and enforcing angels but that somehow it's this rote and inflexible adherence to the law that results in Vash getting off with little more than a slap on the wrist, and White Chain's going to be pissed as hell about this despite the fact that as an immutable being of law that doesn't crave change she should simply accept this situation and move on, duty done. Like these last couple of pages have been all about White Chain going "stop it, I'm not changing, angels don't change, we don't want change," but I have a feeling that deep down White Chain values justice more than she does law and watching Vash bounce back to his crime bossing ways on the Throne equivalent of a technicality is going to be what pushes her to really start breaking out of her self-imposed dogma and start being the change she wants to see in the world. Possibly starting with punching Vash so hard that his spirit vacates his body.
