Yeah he side eyes her real body and plants his feet, causing a dramatically timed purple lighting bolt to flash as he starts up Ki-Rata. Right now both her bodies look like they are hanging in midair.

Ki Rata doesn't involve crackling energy like his hands had last page. He's keying, or doing both.

They definitely look like they are just hanging there, though, which is consistent with what Ki Rata does. I'd go for both over something with just the key.

I'm never right about stuff like this, but I'm just gonna throw it out there:

We can see all of 82's ash body. We can see all of Solomon David's body. We can't see all of 82's angel body. And we don't know that 82 can't create a feint angel body.

This is the part of the fight where someone makes copies of themselves to put pressure on the enemy.

It never works because the copies are individually weaker and can't land a hit.

You should all support Patreon for this goodness. Then be royal like me and not look at the previews until a few days later.

Nice thing about Patreon previews is you can't see the coloring or text, so you still have a reason to see the comic. I signed up for Operant's Patreon mostly for the art tutorials and when you see pages as lineart only you really get to appreciate how good the coloring is. Operant is great at a lot of things, but I think his coloring takes the cake.

I prefer to see the full page first in it's finished glory, and then look at sketches or in-process stuff. It's just a personal preference thing; it feels like watching a behind-the-scenes or commentary version of a movie before you've seen the main feature. :shrug:

Just started reading this yesterday after seeing it recommended in the gunnerkrigg thread. Taking it slow and back-reading the thread for all the theories in tandem to reading the actual comic. I don’t know I'll keep doing that but it seems good so far. I think otherwise I'd miss a lot of details.

But then I saw that the current page number was 777 so figured I should post :kiddo:

Reminder that Krayu Mat is the progenitor angelic martial art, exercised back when they were primordial demigods of size and power, in which the fires of your existence are used for the sole purpose of annihilating your opponent.

"Muerte, buen compinche. Muerte."
This is classic Dragon Ball Z except its many punches instead of rapid-fire energy blasts making the giant dust cloud that NO ONE could survive in. I wonder which version Solomon will go for, standing there unharmed as the dust cloud clears, or emerging from the dust cloud to kick/hit White Chain right in the face.

Standing there unharmed is smugger, emerging from the cloud fits the tempo of the scene better. Could go either way.

From within the dust we hear heavy coughing, followed by "That did it once again; HO THERE!!"; finding Vigilant Gaze standing in the arena when the dust clears, and Solomon David sitting in the stands with Allison and Cio looking smug.
