if you actually destroy an angels armour, like w the nuclear bomb explosion, the shock of their sudden exit to the void often finishes them off (insofar as angels can be finished off)

Probably even if you could smash it you'd just force them to restart the reincarnation process again.

You know what, I bet it's even better than that. If she makes Alison strong enough to win against her, then she can try to kill Alison and fail. The True King keeps her stone, and White Chain just has to increase her number.

White chain is definitely training Alison to beat her corporeal angel form. Its classic Kung Fu style. Hero has to defeat the tradition-bound master to ascend to the next level and be ready to defeat the true villain the master was protecting the hero from.

It's basically going to go like this

"You did it Allison, you punched the angel out of this terracotta warrior body."

"No, White Chain, you can't leave me!"

*white chain immediately possess an even radder body"

"No poo poo you can't. Let's karate up some nerds!"

We don't know, but he is definitely the only Prime Angel to reincarnate after being killed by Zoss: https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-1-4/

(Metatron doesn't count because he wasn't killed, as we find out.)

White Chain IS one of the youngest angels, though.

My guess is the prime angels had those single-word names, with the long naming being a convention of the order of Concordance Knights that was established before the Universal war, which coincided with humans creating many new angels by forging bodies for them.

Note that ancient names like Michael aren't just random phonemes that sounded cool. "2 Michael" could as well be called "2 Mysterious Identity of the Similarity to God". And for "1 Metatron" you could go with something like "1 Watcher Over Throne".

I thought that was pretty clearly communicated in the comic...? White Chain is practically the only one left still upholding the law, which is why she has died so many times. Many other angels are just content to wait for non-existence in the void.

But that doesn't make Michael a coward. Being a prime angel, he's very, VERY powerful, and he's a leader and a teacher, not a footsoldier.

They’re not cowards, they just don’t. care.

At best they think of humanity as a mutt that made a mess on the floor but is kinda cute so they don’t tie it in a bag and toss it off a bridge. At worst, well, you have the thorns.

They just don’t see much point in upholding the law when the gods are dead and there’s little to no direct consequence to them regardless.

There is the old law that Koss baked into them. Then there's the new compact they had with the demiurges. Many of the angels consider it to be broken, with their war. Considering their leader is one of them, well...

Since the religion and history is about the act of cutting and division, it’s probable all the angels are aspects of the prime angels and the primes will never reincarnate because their whole being doesn’t exist anymore.

Metatron is a phoneme that sounds cool, though. Like, even divorced from its biblical source, it just sounds awesome.

can someone remind me where they lay out why angels are so insanely attached to the notion of being male? it's just because someone in charge said they were male and they're law robots who fetishize order right (and they're the opposite of devils that have quite fluid gender)
