Basically, the only bright side of the situation White Chain’s got herself into is that the people she betrayed are more disappointed than angry.

Maybe this fight is only three pages or whatever but atm calling this lopsided is slightly too early. White chain has a lot of experience.

White Chain's going to go predator and enter the self destruct code. In such a way that she won't go to the void to reincarnate again.

I wonder if this is more of an Allison or a Princess kind of sweater

Allison's more of a dumbass, but Princess is all about that exposed midriff

So, I take back what I said earlier about White Chain giving Allicio a tough fight. Because drat, that was a single, blocked punch that fractured White Chain's forearm.

Yeah, but White Chain knows that now, and will probably stop relying on blocks instead of dodges and deflection.

I don't think Princess is a lesbian, she seems to be pansupplexual to me.

Correct, she was a guy when she was an ebon devil named Vladok.

I think gender is pretty fluid for devils isn't it? Like I think I saw somewhere that most blue devils are feminine and most red devils are masculine but like, they often move up and down the tiers so I don't think any of that is set in stone.

I get the impression gender tends to be rather fluid for devils, although as with most things some of them might take to it much more firmly and stubbornly than others. For all we know Vladok was perfectly fine being referred to as a woman.

Yeah the only info we have on Vladok's gender was being referred to as "Grandad" by Oskar, and now Vladok is gone and we have Princess.

It says Allicio is capable of damaging White Chain, however, White Chain has a lot more going on than toughness. Like someone else said, she'll know to dodge in future exchanges, which she may very well be capable of. I also don't think she was shooting to kill in her first strikes against Allicio, it's fully possible she is capable of doing a lot more damage.

"Who is powerful enough to beat who in a fight" is the absolute least interesting thing to me and I'm glad that Abaddon seems to feel the same way. They're all strong as hell, we don't need some scouter power level poo poo going on here

Look, it is vital that we hash out who will win in a three way fight between Goku, Allicio, and Saitama.

Comes with the territory of drawing a prolonged fight, especially when all us nerds get a few days to analyze each page and make predictions. It's true though, the best part of this fight will be the dialogue if it's done well, and if it's done really well the fight and the dialogue will reinforce each other and make the whole greater than the sum if its parts.

Correct! Because it is a fantasy comic fight and this sort of thing is not even remotely uncommon in fantasy comic fights. Coming back from a hit like this happens. Quite a lot.

Goku will be beaten to a pulp because Allicio isn't going to wait around for him to power up. Saitama missed the fight because he remembered he had expiring coupons that he needed to use.

People don't usually come back from having their arm shattered to win a fight. Difficult to fight when your arm is broken and your enemy is unaffected by being kicked in the face and taking a Buddha Palm from like 2 feet away.

In these kinds of stories, people come back from having half three whole limbs and half their torso cut off. Haven't you read Battle Angel Alita?

It happens like five times if you read Last Order. Winning fights with barely any limbs left is practically Alita's signature move.
