I like how Incubus has probably succeeded in what he wanted to do, in the sense that this will almost certainly catalyze some serious change in Allison and lead to her harnessing the Master Key to go fully Super Saiyan

He's also completely hosed

girlfriends death motivating the hero to finally power up and win does not sound like a criticism of the trope, just sounds like the trope. i assume tom has something else in mind

but you don't have to give my opinion any weight i suppose

Well I guess she, what, taught magic mostly off screen, barged in on the tournament and saved Allison's life and was critical to making the aspected chaos?

Yeah, just a single splat-dead-whoops panel then a pile of meat (or hollow chitin, in this case) is a super anti-climactic death for a very prominent, important character to the narrative which is why that's exactly what isn't going to happen. Abaddon's better than that.

Also fuckin lol at saying Cio's been a non-entity lately when she literally did two fusion dances for major events while also having time to have a heart-to-heart with Allison mid-tournament.

I mean I don't know what to tell y'all. I think Cio's arc of late has been Abaddon's biggest trope indulgence in the whole comic. Considering how one of the comic's themes is inevitability, I can't imagine this being any surprise. Cio's goal was always to become the sort of person who would get offed like this.

Except not at all? She's been incredibly key to everything that's happened. All of Allison's actions in the tournament just don't happen without the decisions Cio made.

I agree and assume it will be a more nuanced approach than that, but I figure Allison will either completely break down or go ape poo poo in the short term. The resolution of Cio's arc without fridging her is another matter

Sooner or later, Auntie Maya is going to ask Allison what she thinks of death, and Allison is going to have an answer this time.


Also looking forward to the next panel in Feb being a cut to what Grandpa Vigilant Gaze is up to, and Abaddon harnesses the frustrated vibrations of the audience for free green energy.

Given that the fanfic would've covered post-comic stuff from when Allison was full "Kill Six Billion Demons" "Don't wear it out" mode, im not entirely sure.

I feel like Allison isn't going to lose her poo poo over this not because she doesn't care etc but because like she said before becoming aspected chaos, "all we can do is keep moving forward" which as a character moment doesn't get nearly enough credit.
