Looking at the list I really hope it goes all the way since I really want to see how Nostradamus and Simo Hayha fight.

did you or did you not see Thor

Thor still looks like a Norse man and it didn't escape my attention that poseidon was lacking a beard. He still was a grown man with a trident and not a little girl with a grilling fork which is the quality I expect from Fate.

While that would be completely expected it would still be disappointing.

Oh yeah heres the remaining gods:

code:

Buddha 

Loki 

Apollo 

Susano'o no Mikoto 

Bishamonten 

Anubis 

Odin 

Beelzebub 

Shiva

Maybe Susanoo will get headshotted from a billion miles aeay by Simo in return for a little Japanese chauvinism.

Yeah, I am really interested what will the story do with Nostradamus, Tesla, Rasputin and Simo Hayha, because their legends don't really fit the "man against god, one on one, single weapon, final destination" format. The mangaka did a pretty good job with Adam though, which makes me even more curious.

rasputin's simple enough, since his most famous trait was not dying after being murdered repeatedly.

Brunhildr's name also translates to armor if I'm not mistaken, so someone could get battle armor to help, my money is on tesla. There's also another valkyrie who is about predictions so rasputin seems a shoe-in foe her

So Simo basically did half his kills with a rifle and half of them with a submachine, I wonder which one will be the surprise reveal that seems to turn the fight around. :v:

A comic strip is a very weird medium for a documentary on late-stage capitalism, but ok

I get the point of the strip, but as far as monkey's paw stories go this one was pretty weak. Wouldn't he remember buying the pills, and notice that the number of pills in the container have decreased? Was that movie really that good you would ignore you've gained dozens of pounds?

I guess the criteria was more "who is most interesting to me and can i make a cool rear end powerset and 'true history' for"

Looks like the next 3-Gatsu arc is more Shogi, which is always fine but I really like the way this one in particular is going through Rei's mindset, and especially how you can contrast with where he was at the start of the series and how much happier and healthier he seems to be.

All I remember of MPD Psycho is the television series. I gave the manga a read a couple years ago but it's still unfinished at 12 volumes translated and 24 in total.
