I know there's a lot to dissect in these panels, but all I can think about is Meti's awesome story in the text. Took a poo poo, killed thirty-five master swordsmen with a piece of driftwood, had clams for dinner.

It's very much that point Tolstoy made that, in a battle of wits, the peasant will beat the scholar, because the peasant is not wracked with confusion and doubt.

I mean of course Musashi said a similar thing but I can't recall the quote nearly as closely.

Hmm, maybe this ties into the main story. Is Slam Dunk about to lose by being distracted by his extensive philosophical musings on the use of raw strength to secure political power?

I could have invoked the worst version of this insight:

An anonymous George W Bush official to Ron Suskind posted:

We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

Flavor text again reminding me how I desperately desire a Meti wisdom compilation book.

It's apparently a big flaming deal when angels change at all, so I'm guessing the answer is "very little."

White chain clearly has a string tied to her finger to give Salmon Dierush pause during his freeze time. (Secretly im hoping she jut breaks her shell and exists in the material world in her true form.)

Angels are sapient thermonuclear explosions. She's probably going to come out of this with some sort of shell, if only out of politeness to anyone in Throne who might not want to be within eye-melting distance of an uncontained atomic fire.

johnny jesus and the infield fly rule
Meti’s story is basically the story of how Billy Beane (smart, athletic, eventually revolutionized how a baseball team would be run) was thinking himself out of a pro baseball career at the plate, so he asked Lenny Dykstra (dumpy idiot who had a successful pro career and then did nothing but Financial Crimes afterwards) what HE thought about when he was at bat that allowed him to have such great success and Dykstra replied “huh?”

She gives him a big obvious gash that's dripping blood, but he's so flustered that he destroys her anyway.

Thus the lies of his invincibility and his magnanimity are exposed for all to see in one fell swoop.
