I can hear the unreal announcer progression in my head. Double kill, triple kill!, MEGA Kill Mega kill, MONSTER ki- MONSTER- ki - Mon - Mon- repeat a hundred or so times.

Would there be branded umbrellas for this sort of thing, or is the tidal wave of gore sort of the point?

We haven't seen the reactions yet. He could have given everyone, EVERYONE!, a commemorative umbrella before putting on the rings. Vigilent Gaze got two.

Also Josuke’s powers reflect far more emotional maturity than Solomon David’s can’t-scratch-me pose. Josuke knows things get hosed up, he just also knows they can be put back together again as long as nobody’s dead.

hey girl you up posted:In my head, the halo is gone because to him, this "eviscerating all challengers in a moment frozen in time thing" is just so. loving. boring. Whereas posing afterwards is full-halo-expression the absolute best moment of his year I'm reading through the chapter and I've just noticed that the other Ki Rata monks aren't particularly hench, and now I'm convinced that Ki Rata is actually pretty poo poo exercise because it's all transcendental metaphysical breathing bullshit and Solomon David is just really unnecessarily into bodybuilding. Just contantly ripping 10,000kg bicep curls in his throne room because what's the point in being the most powerful martial artist in the cosmos if you don't look good in a speedo https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-4-43/

They are very good at Ki Rata and very bad at knowing what betrayal looks like. However, I wonder if this is what will undo Salami Dave as well. He is so used to being the biggest fish that something very unexpected happening means he is completely thrown off.

Solomon has a slim but fit body type in his first appearance when Cio and White Chain are explaining the demiurges, I guess Salmon Dave decides to juice up since the end of the universal wsr.

If benevolent dictators were a thing that actually existed and endured through generations, autocratic monarchy would probably have never been rendered obsolete by liberal democracy. I'm sure between propaganda and his legitimate merits, he is probably fairly popular. Of course, autocratic monarchy would also have never been rendered obsolete if monarchs were superwizard kung fu demigods, either. If there's anything I don't like about k6bd, it's that it's hard to imagine communism happening in a world with great man metaphysics

Solomon’s rule is so hilariously legalist that it makes the state of Qin look like Gay Space Automated Luxury Communism. His response to a woman sleeping with one of his officers involves executing the officer and sentencing her to at least a decade in a work camp. Notably, Qin collapsed under its second ruler, and the rebellion is said to have started when a couple of mail carriers were late, and realized that since the punishment for late mail was execution and the punishment for rebellion was also execution. I don’t think Solomon being a somewhat responsible and paternalistic ruler means he’s untouchable - it’s the absolute terror of his untouchable power as a killer that underwrites his sovereignty. So, if his divine violence gets turned aside and he gets scratched... I imagine that might make his empire a tad less stable.

Oh yeah, the lynchpin of his entire operation is about to get yanked out, hard. Perhaps by a plucky angel, or her wayward ward, or something else absurd and wholly unpredictable from what we know now You don't set up a house of cards like his in a story like this and expect it to remain intact
