Rogue AI Goddess posted:Solomon learned this move from White Chain. Pretty much, white chain’s epiphany was that doing something hopeless and futile was better than doing nothing. Of course white chain learned to do it out of self love and Solomon is still chained by fear, so this poo poo is gonna kill him even though that’s probably a limit that he’s imposing within his own hosed up world view.

I'm pretty sure this technique does just loving kill you to use, given the explanatory text from an unseen narrator explaining that it does that. Unless you're transcending causality in a way that maybe, maybe Zoss can do (and he's still limited in various ways), physical existence still happens. Those poor bastards who went to fight Solomon didn't get pulped because they failed to have the right worldview, but because he could pulp people with his fists real good.

The technique should kill you in the same way that white chain should have been destroyed in the ring of power by Solomon. You don’t need to destroy causality in order to imagine that the limits of possibility are broader than what is implied by a 2 sentence description of a magic martial arts technique.

You don’t need to destroy causality in order to imagine that the limits of possibility are broader than what is implied by a 2 sentence description of a magic martial arts technique. I think there's a major difference here, which is that Solomon walking this off would narratively undermine what he's doing (sacrificing his life and continued rule, recognizing the inevitability of change), while White Chain surviving narratively concludes a crucial character arc. Also, White Chain didn't win the actual fight! She still lost, it's just that it turns out that loss wasn't that important compared to other things. I'm just not sure why people are dead set on 'there aren't actual physical constraints' when the comic has been very clear that there are, actually, limits of possibility - but not acting because you fear them is a pitiable stagnation, and often more is possible than you think. Here, though, having Solomon not die of his ultimate ultimate ultimate technique that kills him to use would be a huge whiff (without some kind of incredible new twist, which I won't rule out, that pulls it into line). It would be a lot like having Mottom's newfound courage in the face of death prevent her from dying.

Potato Salad posted:I think the only thing that has held him back from interdimensional suicide speedbagging is pride, maybe mixed with an unwillingness to use every ounce of power he has as it would basically force himself to admit internally that he's I honestly think "I would literally rather die than have my people think of me as a failure" is the best possible end to Solomon's arc. He talked a big game about wanting to walk away and continue his Kung fu journey, but this was always more important to him. Unlike most, I think he genuinely believed he was necessary for the peace and prosperity of his people, but in the end it made him as much a prisoner of needing to be loved as Mottom. OPAONI posted:That's my read on it, too. He knows he's a failure now, his people know that, and he'd rather die hurting the one responsible than deal with it.

Brought To You By posted:Also props to Incubus. When staring down certain death or at least having his body crushed as his immortal head becomes Jagganoth's newest piercing (I won't begin to guess where) he had the gumption to just laugh. I mean he's a student of Meti, he always knew his death was always going to be horrible and violent just like his life. Best to just face it with a smile at the absurdity of it all.

Are Juggernaut Star and Jagganoth related in some way or is it just a coincidence? Presumably Juggernaut got her name long before Jagganoth even existed so it can't be a thorn knight thing.

Both names are based on the same real Hindu word. Juggernaut is modern english, Jagganoth is more similar to the original, which is usually romanised as "Jagganath".

I loving know, and obviously so does Operant, which is why I was asking if they had an in-universe connection.

Cowcaster posted:https://twitter.com/Orbitaldropkick/status/1453819673242476563?s=20 I'm fairly confident in Abaddon's natural resistance to Burlew's Disease. I think he's just been taking a gigantic level of care for about a year now on the most visually challenging project he's ever done, and taking more time to deliver a higher quality makes sense for him and allows him to not die from stress.

I asked Operant once and he just talked about the etymological link, I think there's no intended relation. Which is strange since they're both very preoccupied with the wheel-turning cycle, both have a connection to Metatron, both very "hardcore" characters hiding a much more vulnerable brokenness, etc. I had a pet theory that they were one character in the early drafts before drifting into two roles but that doesn't seem to fit.

Kill 6 Billion Demons is unique for many reasons. That, admittedly, is one of them. This webcomic has completely spoiled me for what I can expect from a webcomic and I'm sure that'll have disastrous consequences for me in a few years. But for now, I'm enjoying the heck out of this ride!

I mean it really helps that the delays basically always deliver. If Abbadon says "im delaying to have these flow better as a whole sequence" I take him at his word.
