"Fighting is fundamentally something sociable people do" is one of those things that makes you put the comic down for a bit and think real hard, isn't it?

This bit is so good imo, the warm bath as a practical solution, shocking Asa out of her funk with lack of care, the extremely on point "this isn't a fight between us two"...

This whole section reminds me of a certain quote from Kaiji:

"Normally, those people would never wake up from their fantasy worlds. They live meaningless lives. They waste their precious days over nothing. No matter how old they get, they’ll continue to say, “My real life hasn’t started yet. The real me is still asleep, so that’s why my life is such garbage.” They continue to tell themselves that. And they age. Then die. And on their deathbeds, they will finally realize: the life they lived was the real thing. People don’t live provisional lives, nor do they die provisional deaths. That’s a simple fact! The problem… is whether they realize that simple fact."

It's stayed with me for a long time and I don't think I've done as a great job of taking that lesson to heart as I should

Makio's got more social intelligence than most neurotypical people I know, haha

And yeah, this bit is like a really neat crash course on grounding someone and deescalating. Handy!

Alt: this whole sequence was really just an excuse to draw gog in funny little outfits

quote:

Anathema



Alt: man catastrophically owns himself even further by adding more complicated character design than the previous two complicated character designs, sending him straight to Hell

quote:

a small and quiet place

Much like Ciocie Cioelle is the letters of COCA COLA read out loud, Nukoku is just New Coke
Also, it's interesting that she's an Ivory Devil. That's not really a thing in the hierarchy of devils. They go from Pale to Ebon and Ivory isn't one of the categories. I wonder if, like White Chain has transcended the definition of an Angel, Cio has now become something new and unprecedented as well

Also also, I'm wondering if this page is a vague allusion to Dark Souls 3. In particular the Painter, who has a few lines that end with some variation of the phrase, "I will assuredly finish the painting. Of a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home."

Yeah, I've heard that quote as well. Ootsuki at least seems to be enjoying life to the fullest.

Incidentally, did you know the character that said those lines got his own spinoff? Middle Manager Tonegawa.

That would certainly explain why Lord Mori is so willing to speak out against the Toyotomi. That's usually not a... Life extending move.

yeah terumoto's grandad mori motonari was basically the littlefinger of japanese history who set up the family as hegemons of everything west of the oda/toyotomi. they're like the tokugawas in that hideyoshi doesnt have direct control over their forces

It wouldn't be too surprising, there's also a reference to the painted world of Ariamis of Dark Souls 1 in the arc where they break into the vault: https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/seeker-of-thrones-9-111/ "Thou must returneth whence thou came. This land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind, but thou dost not belong."

That's cool. I saw a Japanese copy at bookstore near me but I figured a book I couldn't read was too frivolous of a purchase.
