I like how it plays into his thematic sin of pride in two ways, since in addition to his own sheer hubris he's also baiting every schmuck in the arena who thinks they're too good to sit this one out.

Everyone there is there because they think they're the one who's finally going to Do It.

They are not that person, and they are about to learn why.

Some random schmuck we've never seen before will somehow get a drop on Smug Dave, and get crowned the new King of One Seventh of Cosmos, and the comic will be about them from now on, which is why we're gonna hate Operant, because it was all a big shaggy dog story.

The longer-running Pursuers might be more interested in Allison than Salami Dave, so it's not impossible that they stand still and let the other chumps do the dying.

The Pursuers regain their 108 total from the people who were foolish enough to enter the tournament but not so foolish as to waste a perfectly good payday by not standing still. Also from one of SD's guards, to maintain tradition.

By the looks on their faces, I get the vibe that most of them entered the tournament to get a shot at Dave, not to get cash, so I guess we are going to see a lot of ultra violence.

I love that K6BD is actually giving the Great Outdoor Fight a run for its money in terms of badass online comic epic battle supremacy.

I say this as someone whose abandoned office cubicle has a Great Outdoor Fight poster on it.

I think the first guy to get eliminated was doing Recumbent Tai Chi as his martial art in the middle of the brawl. Incredible.

I don't think it would do anything of value. Devil masks and Angel shells do different things. An angel's shell is a container to keep all the dangerous angel-stuff from breaking the rest of reality. A devil's mask gives shape, identity, whatnot to an indistinct mass of devil-stuff that possesses neither shape nor identity. An angel has shape and identity already.

also the reason a devil's mask can work on a human is that humans have the same flame type as devils, but more stable. devils feed off the relative stability of human soul essence, which is a different flavor from the soul essence of angels and servants

Animal life is. We're very slowly burning carbon to produce energy and CO2.

Actually no, plants need to oxidize to live too, they just make their own stuff to “burn” during the day then do the
actual burning at night. Really it’s just certain bacteria that don’t use aerobic respiration.

All life is entropy in the end. We achieve complex structures despite the second law of thermodynamics by consuming more than we create, and our ultimate purpose in a very real sense is really just as machines to hasten the final heat death of the universe.

So the black flame, the white flame, and the body they burn to sustain it.

Yisun is dead and Salami Dave may well be meeting them soon.
