Solomon-David will end up destroying his capital, but I don't know if he'll do it with a nine or eleven point blow.

I figure Gog-Agog has a whole ship of theseus thing going on with her sentient worm colony, and therefore was both functionally immortal and functionally unkillable BEFORE the whole Royalty and Key of Kings business.

Also I was wrong! Clearly Solomon David was alive before the Second Conquest his Rayuba, but was not a demiurge. He has no star in his brow when he learns Ki Rata. So Solomon David presumably never knew Zoss personally.

Cryophage posted:Back at the beginning of the chapter, I assumed Solomon only having sons was a reflection of his self-obsession, but now I wonder if he just can't bear to be reminded of his first family. Also it turns out he didn't just kill all the other Ki-Rata masters because he was consolidating power/pridefully deciding that only he was responsible enough to bear such a burden, he did it because they sat by and watched his whole world die and did nothing to stop it. It's oddly humanizing in a way.

The trouble with these world-shattering martial arts is they attract terrible students. Allison will save Throne through sensible educational reform.

habeasdorkus posted:Also, looking back through the comic... there's a very real possibility that Jadis misled everyone about who the successor truly is. My immediate, non-considered surmise is that she wants to die and that she needs the Successor to do it, so she told the meeting of the Seven that the successor was poor, dumbass Zaid. rndmnmbr posted:Jadis Wants to die. So she gets a little vague in her pronouns and her prophesy gets read in the most erroneous, destructive, and plain wrong manner it can. A furious dumbass gets her shot at completely destabilizing the multiverse, and seven other dumbasses get set on the path to their inevitable destruction.

I spotted a pretty big one (comparatively) in this page and I'm not pointing it out out of principle. There was debate over whether the cut would stay or not, as a matter of Inky healing it or Al having actually harmed someone with Head of John in a way they couldn't just soak. It's not a continuity error, it's a clue! Your ideas are intriguing to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. e: Also, has it been mentioned if ki-rata a defensive art in any way? If you catch a master of ki-rata off guard can you kill them with a well placed rabbit punch despite the fact that they can explode you with a touch if they knew you were coming? habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Feb 16, 2019 |

Given that Solomon has never been so much as nicked in these tournaments, and that someone, at some point, presumably tried stealth or an attack he didn't know was coming, it seems safe to assume.

I imagine the incredible strain on the body involved in the internal point-generation of Ki Rata makes the body strong and hard to damage, and it's also not outside of the genre for internal martial arts to also teach how to distribute the force of blows that strike you, as well as distributing your own force in your body.

I was going to post the very same thing. Upon further reflection, it occurs to me that possibly Sol-Dave does have some daughters but that they aren't allowed anywhere near power, ruling, or danger of any kind. Kept away from everything the slightest bit dangerous in a fortress-palace of some kind, perhaps. Indeed, if Aly didn't seem destined to be the one to kick his rear end and take his key, I'd say the natural story beat would be for one of Dave's daughters (his only daughter?) to train up in secret and be the one to finally land a hit and claim rulership. Hmm, actually given the way K6BD plays with conventions it'd be kinda neat for that idea to be playing out...with Aly showing up and ruining Dave's daughter's big moment or something.

Dead Reckoning posted:There was a distinct absence of women during Solomon's walking tour of his awesome empire, so you know whatever is going on with them is going to be awful in order to soften the blow of Allison loving his whole situation up. https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-1-6/ I'm seeing plenty of women on this street. I'm pretty sure we already know why his empire is bad, which is that it's ruled by a cosmic forever tyrant (and has infamously draconian laws). In the example of Solomon's justice system, a woman was involved. She seemed to have all the rights of the men involved, which included the right to hard labor for a misdemeanor, having her child taken away to be raised as a ward of the state, and the right to a government clerkship for good behavior and proven aptitude when her sentence ended (but not the right to see her child again). The other woman involved was found to have lied and executed, as was the first woman's lover (his position mandated celibacy). But the first woman was apparently equal before the law. Now, the Celestial Empire is definitely sexist, but theres no evidence it's as brutal as you're implying. Doesn't make it not tyranny ruled by a literal patriarch.

Just reread the book to this point. At no point does SD say he doesn't have daughters, just that his sons are elevated to consul (although that comment from Abbadon seems clear on the point, but it might also be a joke I guess). Not sure whether Incubus was holding back rage or surprise and fear. Its a pretty blank face he holds before turning and laughing. The little flame over the head, I assume it means focus or mastery of a particular martial art? The monk guarding the goddess' head also had one. So, focused devotion to any subject?

Atum, every creature of the flame has it, but it doesn't manifest for everyone unless they've had some sort of training or mastery about it. Correct me if I'm wrong, thread.

He has a few daughters. They've been dead for longer than he's been a demiurge, though.
