Iirc, when WC declares that she's gonna teach Alison the 49 palms, Cio says she can't learn them, but WC says she can, implying that it's because of her key and the superpowers that come with it.

Unfortunately, WC does not have a key so I think she's gonna have to relearn how to fight (or at least learn a new style)

White Chain may have just fulfilled Solomon's "shed at least one drop of my blood" requirement for passing on his key, so I'd hold the phone on her not having one.

IDK given the conversation in the void where they show her her reflection it might be that angels have this option open to them its just really rare that they would take it

You are taking that conversation way too literally. At no point was it ever suggested that becoming a flesh and blood person was an actual factual option there, it was literally a bunch of angels going reductio ad absurdum to demonstrate what to them was the patently obvious fallacy of expressing the wrong gender.

I've said it before but there's really no reason why any of the characters in this work or any other should be absolutely correct about their world's cosmology, any more than anyone in reality has ever been absolutely correct about anything. It's just a staple of fantasy that when you have a character lay out How Things Are, the reader is intended to take it as true, because most fantasy isn't concerned with breaking apart your notions of what reality is.

Plus who'd do all that lengthy and intricate worldbuilding only to turn around and say "yeah that was all bullshit that I made you believe specifically to make the revelation that it's bullshit more impactful"? Some kinda cool guy probably

Yeah if all myths are true and born from history then that implies people in your setting have no imagination and can't just make anything up.

10VG is a pretty good new ally. Didn't understand but worked to get there, acknowledged faults and mistakes made along the way and now stands side by side.

Corollary question, can Angels hijack the ashen bodies of other angels? While I know that is 10VG, could it also be another angel hijacking 10VG's armor and pretending to be him? I'm curious if it could be a future plot point or concern, rather than saying it is happening right now, mind you.

It hasn't been explicitly stated, but I don't think so.

Angel bodies are created for specific angels, so there's probably some sort of concept of making it compatible with their soul form or whatever.

Pretending to be another angel sounds suspiciously similar to lying, which angels aren't good at in general.

Sorry friend. Depression is an insidious bastard. At least you’re aware it’s sapping your emotions. :(

I think my only real regret for this arc is that Salami Dave didn't get his beard-net punched off.

That's a real unfired Chekhov's gun.

Getting punched or having blood drawn is one thing, but no man of Dave's status would ever allow his beard to be anything less than perfect.

His beard is kept meticulous by the power of his Key of Kings - a full seventh of a seventh of Creation is tuned solely to the job of maintaining it.
