So someone help me out here. From what I understand 82 White Chain met with the leader of the Angels, or at least throes that aren't Thorns now, who is 2 Michael. 2 Michael was angry at 82 White Chain for failing to bring Allison to him immediately, and had 82's body destroyed, sending her to...wherever it is angels go. The void? Anyway she quickly thereafter meets 6 Juggernaut Star, who invites her to tea and to discuss prospects of working with one another. 6 Juggernaut explains what the key in Alison's head is, a key forged from the power of the angel 1 Metatron, and that he needs for the key to be united with Alison's boyfriend, who he believes to be the successor to the Old King. 6 Juggernaut himself does not want this, he wants to purge Throne of all non-Angels, but his master does, whom I presume to be 1 Metatron. With the Old King's heir/reincarnation brought to Metatron the angel will be reborn whole again. 82 White Chain doesn't want to work with the Thorns, and so now they are threatening her by executing 23 Delicious.

That last part is what I don't quite understand, why is 23 there, how did they get there, and what exactly is the point of executing them? I can understand if it's partially to try and coerce 82, but when she agrees to help 6 is still going through with the execution. What would have 6 done if 82 had leapt at the offer from the start? Would he still have brought her here and kill 23 in front of her?

It could be that Angels that die in the void still reincarnate, but as a completely new being rather than as themselves in a new form.

So do we know for certain an angel's number corresponds to how many times they've reincarnated? Because I always assumed it denoted the order in which they were created.

It's fine if he wants to have his silmarillion, I'd love to read that myself, but K6BD seems like it is meaning to tell more of a Lord of the Rings. Some exposition is fine and maybe even necessary, as are signs that a lot more is going on than what we see and know, but the most important thing is the story of the chief actors.

Dozens of pages at a time were dedicated to backstory and other boring poo poo in the LOTR books, so maybe you should pick a better example.

Have we actually confirmed that an angel's number corresponds to their number of reincarnations? Because honestly it seems more like a hierarchy. 2 Michael would directly below 1 Metatron, and above 3 [whoever].

Q:Anonymous said
Do Angels have a say in the aesthetics of their bodies when they are formed?

A: Not particularly, nor do they particularly mind, just that their form is able and intimidating.

Makes sense, but interesting nonetheless. I really hope we can see an angel (probably White Chain) being bound to their body soon.

By the way this is neither here nor there but I just want to lay it out so I can congratulate myself for guessing it years from now: Incubus has so far only appeared in Alison's dreams because he's literally just a dream. He sometimes sends sleazy-looking fuckboys in his stead to formal occasions, but for the most part all he can actually do is creep on people's dreams. He's some Sandman-rear end motherfucker.

Hey! Sandman was perfectly capable of existing in the mortal realm when the need suited him. And he only rarely sleazed on anyone, he was much more of a Nice Guy. :colbert:

Operant, I actually do have a question:

Is there, or was there ever, a dipshit more furious than Aesma?


Edit:

Ok, for real question, have you played the game Asura's Wrath and if so was it an influence on K6BD? Asura was exactly the sort of person YISUN would have loved.

so if understand this, things like Mayas sword work on the principle of her wanting something to be cut in half enough for it to happen, right?

I believe wanting something to happen is merely the first, but most important step. After that you have to make it happen by no longer giving a poo poo about things like "logic" or "possibilities" and doing it anyway.

Edit:

Basically this, except you give the permit to the universe.
