fwiw I think it's not even worth arguing over; we'll shortly be getting more pages that tell is exactly where Dave is, which will firmly contextualise this background detail.

It’s a long-standing webcomic thread tradition to argue about details that are answered on the very next page put up. Or indeed on the current page itself.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

The reason Jagg got so big is just so that he could strew weapons around and not worry about other people picking them up or using them.

This does seem to be setting the scene that they're just gonna keep getting in each other's way too much to win and if they were actually able to fight as a team they might have a chance.

Which is probably what Jaggonoth is banking on. But working as a team is not in their nature - it's why they split the multiverse into 7 in the first place.

Also I've got a bad feeling Maya's role in the story is to make a bad situation worse, if she takes Incubus out of the fight...

Yeah teamwork is going to save the day when it's our heroes' turn.

Allicio is going to get on their hands and knees behind Jagganoth while White Chain runs up and shoves him backwards.

Princess is there too.

In my mind she sounded like a more deranged Genkai from Yu Yu Hakusho, who is voiced in English dubs at least by the same VA so, same, I guess

Setting up, of course, them losing, the story getting to its nadir, and Air Bud teaching them how to play as a team followed by a rematch that they barely win with heavy callbacks to what went wrong last time

Incubus wants war, but hasn't necessarily allied with Jaggs in the actual battle. I doubt either one of them would hesitate to kill the other now that it's in action - and as Incubus said, Jaggonoth attacked much sooner than he expected.

I'm still not really sure where Incubus is, or that he knows either. If he keeps doing flashy sword things without actually hitting Jagg, he's got plausible deniability whichever way this swings and can just sort of ride things out.

Incubus about to crazy sword bullshit as he effortlessly makes his way up jagg's sword to jagg himself and then mottoms jsut going "gently caress off, runt" as she does her own attack isn't quite the "7 consectuvei pages of every demiurge clowning on incubus because they dont respect him" but it is still very good

I was talking about Maya. I'm thinking back to the chat between Jaggs and Incubus around the throne of empty cups and they clearly have some history. He vs the rest of the demiurges would be a good way for her to slay some gods and topple some thrones.

And I would hate that.

It is; The weapons are useless to his opponents and he now has an arsenal on-hand to use regardless of stance or position. He's picked the battlefield, and anywhere within that area those swords may as well be in his hands rather than embeddded in the ground because if he needs another weapon he just has to pick whatever's in arm's reach and swing.

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
Some good lines from the comments to the page, but this one is deserving of a share.

quote:

Do you understand the true power of a sovereign? A raw man must cum with his bare hands. The battered warrior, a sock. The commander, his bellowing voice, the conspirator, a whispered word. But all these pale compared to kingship. A true sovereign need not flex a single muscle in his body, and a hundred men cum. A true sovereign may cum without a single impulse, or even intent, sight, breath, or even though of his rod. He is an idiot indifferent to his own pleasure. He has sublimed the act of orgasm.
That is the meaning of kingship.
