I think it's probably supposed to be that anime wind blade sort of thing where the cut goes beyond the sword but I like that it looks like juggs has really long nail whips there

The Beef-Eating School was a rather strange and often-derided form of martial arts that professed to have found a secret philosophy that would grant true power to its adherents, so long as they followed its inscrutable tenets exactly and never hesitated to challenge a foe to vigorous debate.

However, the School produced very few, if any, champions of note, leading to its rather dismal reputation. Still, in spite of the widespread mockery, it never found itself at a lack for students, and across the Red City, one can easily find a Beef-Eater, querulously debating some minor point about the secrets of the devils or YISUN's masculine nature with anyone who hasn't learned to ignore them yet.

Just came to post the color palette catch, but I see that Regalingualius beat me :) It's awesome.

Last time we saw Jugg's sword hand style in active use, I think it was them ripping up pursuers here:



Observe Maya judging some loving amateur who needs to use their actual physical hands to cut things, like a wimp.

Also, I still suspect both of these angels are going to get wrecked here. However, I was thinking that a big problem with the power level of the concordance Knights is just them not caring any more. Vigilant appears to have decided to care. I would not be shocked if Concordance Knights in their prime can wipe the floor with a Thorn. Juggs is special though, so who knows.

The Gog commentary has been omitted because it is R rated. Solomon has to cut her mics to avoid being too horny during the live Broadcasts. He did write the law and is his own FCC endorsement after all.

Nah, Cio's the black flame that escorts Kill Six Billion Demons.

If there's anything at all up in the air, it's if White Chain or Viggy is gonna bite it. It's not impossible that White Chain doesn't make it and Vigilant Gaze becomes the white flame that accompanies KSBD.

I think what's most likely, sadly, is that Viggy's gonna do some heroic self sacrifice poo poo here and get greased, because White Chain has been thoroughly humbled and so killing her at this point would be narratively unsatisfying. I suspect the three main characters of the story so far remain the three main characters of the story.

I'm still betting on the B team eating poo poo though.

Real hard to say what's about to happen tho because iirc there's only one book left, and so a lot of poo poo has to go wrong here real fast for us to set up the heroic return.

I think Vigilant Gaze is going to set White Chain up to take on Juggernaut (or maybe Juggs runs off after killing him, leaving the main characters to face Solomon or something, who knows!) but after a very cool fight is going to lose.

And that means he'll go into the reincarnation coma and be gone from the narrative like Obi Wan. Possibly in the epilogue we'll see 11 Vigilant Gaze Purges the Horizon being mentored by an older White Chain, but I think Vigilant Gaze is going to have one incredibly good scene, and then not be in play for the rest of the story.

That would absolutely make this entire thread as Big Mad as Juggernaut is right now.

E: He could also launch Juggernaut out of the arena and generally win the tournament, then get instantly killed by Solomon David. That would be both very cool and, again, Big Mad.

Honestly, I just don't see Juggs getting merk'd by anyone except White Chain. Juggs is her nemesis, it should be WC who does the winning.

I'm betting on huge climactic fight interrupted by Solomon who is pissed neither of those two signed the right papers. Solomon then trounces WC (who was the 'winner'), probably rips the key out of allison's head, and smugs his way into thinking there's no point in finishing the trio off (assuming White Chain doesn't just get vaporized; if Juggs gets killed then I expect WC to also), then leaves to find that Zaid is gone, and keeps the key for himself.

Total war breaks out among the demiurges as they realize the threat solomon poses with the key. Meti swoops in to train Allison&Co. Zaid is still a creep.

lmao if Zaid gets the key and Allison does a whole like "come on Zaid we've gotta go" and he goes for the "no, I think I'll stay" ambition power play, complete with "I'm tired of being so loving weak all the time" villain monologue that parallels Allison's speech to Incubus at the beginning of the Yre book

If Dave has the key do you really think he's going to give it to some prophesied kid? He's got the ring standing in the fires of mount doom, Zaid is getting one finger head exploded to really put a nail into the coffin of the rescue Zaid mcguffin that even Allison is just going along with because its convinient.

The One True Oden

My prediction is that White Chain bites it, but just returns to the void, so Allison and co have to figure out how to get her some new armor.

Vigilant Gaze beats Jugs but then gets splatted by Shlomo Davey, who also takes the key and gives it to Zaid, along with his whole empire, and then goes off to be a beggar somewhere while everything falls apart behind him.
