So White Chain's plan was to bitterly disappoint Solomon David with the greatest one-on-one fight he'll ever have, right? Because it looks like she's executed it perfectly.

Abbadon said we're going to hate the ending of this, so it's probably just gonna be "White Chain dies, Gog does nothing, no moral"
With the band's track record of just making the demiurges very, very angry and barely escaping with their lives, the ending I'd hate the most is a convincing win.

Vigilant Gaze did say Ki Rata required total concentration and I think it's now safe to say this expression wasn't that.



White Chain got her opening and it looks like instead of winning, she made him lose.

This - and Solomon can totally spin this. White Chain landed her hit (undeniable) and that exact moment (because time froze), she did get her wish (as he'll claim it to be) granted. Thus it's proof that he must actually be a god because how else was it supposed to happen?

They'd never know that him stooping so low would mean White Chain won even harder than it already seems, right?

His posts are still there, last I checked. From what I can tell he thinks K6BD is entirely derivative of Dante's Inferno (which he has read and understands by the way) but is copying it WRONG.
It is weird that "Author watches all the historic figures he doesn't like suffer eternally for imagined crimes in weirdly fetishistic ways" wasn't so faithfully reproduced in a comic that instead chose to be about a cold war between the godlike rulers of the multiverse and a sorority girl's endeavours to make it extremely hot.

But yeah, Jagganoth absolutely came here with the intention of Starting Some poo poo, so he really doesn't have any room to bemoan how nobody understands him when they understand quite well that he's there to Start Some poo poo.
I thought he was playing rather coy about such intentions when he came down to the planet he nuked and yelled "AH, 'TIS FINE DAY TO START SOME SHIT"

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.

I went back and checked, and it's the same font used for PERFECT KILL: TOTAL LIFE ANHILATION which is an incredible panel, so I guess it's not the font itself I'm reacting to, more the placement. The text overlaps with the already busy sword effects, diluting the effect and making the contrast between the hand-drawn text and the font more noticeable. Compared to the PERFECT KILL which has half the panel composition dedicated to it.
It also punctuated the end of PERFECT KILL: TOTAL LIFE OBLITERATION, a technique you'd just witnessed in full. Here, you've just seen Incubus get pushed by something (which he's very clearly blocked) into a large body of water with a really big splash. I have no loving idea what BLOOD DRAINING SWORD-SOUL just did.

If I had to take a guess, Jagganoth is using the soul of a sword to drain blood of his enemy.

So a not-quite physical manifestation of a sword that stabs you and eats your blood.
And I'd still like to have seen that. Again, all that was shown was "Sword exist - it magic"

A universe without time is one that can never change. Entropy, disorder, chaos (aspected or otherwise) cannot exist there. Given the present situations of our protagonists, that seems like reason enough to want Jags to not succeed. I don't think he's gonna be talked down from his position in under a minute, though.

Most of the others settled for building and playing in their personal playpens, Jadis just kind of waited around a lot, Jagganoth and Incubus prepared for a fight.

Jagganoth worked on himself, Incubus worked on a furious idiot with a gem in her head - definitely not for anywhere near as long and definitely, definitely not for anywhere near as many of those lengths.
