I wonder how devil liquor even effects a human shade. Allison might have the advantage here!

Or because she's a college student.

I would like to know more about this 'name' system, specifically how you lose names and become more powerful.

Also a bit fuzzy on exactly how the pacts work and suchlike (will Allison be carrying that mark around for the rest of the story? Do humans just sort of accumulate them?), but I'm content to let to story go on. It's weird world-building bits and bobs like this that really make K6BD a joy to read.

I imagine we're going to find out a lot about how pacts work, and specifically what happens when they broken, very soon. Or we're gonna cut back to 82 White Chain, which would be okay too.

I wonder if alison could promote cio easily too

It's her now according to the alt text. Honestly that's probably the least weird thing going on.

We know how demons get names firsthand now, but we still don't know how they lose them. Allison may or may not be able to help Cio shed a few, but it may necessitate tricking a human into a bad pact or something else she wouldn't necessarily want to do.

I wonder if Incubus still looks halfway as pretty as he does in some of the other pictures we have seen of him? I know Mottom sure as hell doesn't, but whose to say that he may have retained his good looks.

Also whose betting that every time we see one of his "consorts" it'll be a different one each time.

Yeah I'm guessing that Solomon David is the only one who has retained his form.

I hope he doesn't ever have any underlings or other forms or anything. He's just a smug guy with the biggest crown sitting in the tallest chair.

10 Vigilant Gaze Purges the Horizon is still my favorite angel design, though 38 Dark Spear of Thought Will Plunge Into the Flesh of Heretics is a pretty close second now.

Apparently White Chain is still pretty tough in soul form. I'm sad we didn't get to see the fight, wonder how it goes with those wing/eye hands.

I like the retroactive pages because there was a huge lack of exposition in the first chapter originally. It gives the story a little room to breathe.

I still don't think that they're stuffing Michael's shell full of wings. That's just him leaking out.

Especially now that we've seen 38 Dark Spear, another angel whose "body" consists almost entirely of wings. And 82 seems to be able to form wings at will from her back or hands. Cutting off wings would be pointless.

Apparently they think 6 Juggernaut messed up the prophecy and that's why Allison has the key. Which is kind of borne out by the beginning of the comic where he totally cuts off Zoss' head and kidnaps the boyfriend before Zoss can do anything, which makes me think that 6 Juggernaut is either an idiot or was trying to change things from the start.

But really there's no actual indication that Zoss was intending to give it to the boyfriend in the first place. He didn't seem too put out when he met Allison later.

Also that's not how prophecies work you idiots!

Renaissance Robot posted:

Basically my understanding was that while White Chain's appearance seems somewhat feminine, that's more happenstance than any desire to be regarded as female. White Chain has become more like YIS and less like UN, and while a shift from masculine to feminine is wrapped up in that, it is not, in this case, the most important thing.


Perhaps earlier in the comic, back on Throne, but here White Chain seems to have come around on there being at least one more angel gender. Perhaps she did some thinking after the fight with Delicious, who was much more on board with the idea. I imagine we'll get to hear more about this soon since Vigilant Gaze and the other angels have been chatting about her "humanity problem" since she left with Juggernaut.

I'm kind of shocked to find out that Vigilant Gaze knows some humans, though I guess there were plenty hanging out at that demon bar that Allison visited.

its not like incubus really needs a gimmick, outside of being a creepy gently caress who teleports into peoples dreams to go YOU WANT THIS like some kind of double-entendre molestor

Incubus' gimmick is that he is an incubus.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have a physical body anymore, and that's why he didn't go to the meeting. He can only meet people in dreams or the void.

so if the seven demiurges each have one syllable of royalty, does that mean that Allison, being in possession of the master key, has all seven?

No, getting all the syllables is akin to enlightenment, and attaining that is why Zoss stepped down. There have been a lot of questions in that vein on the tumblr lately, is grab them but I'm phoneposting.

I mean, Mottom isn't wrong. That's a really terrible plan!

The idea is probably that none of them could take that key because it would upset the balance and if there's any serious infighting they wouldn't be able to contain Jagganoth. So it's not really balanced between the 7, more like the 6 and the 1.

Metatron just kinda asked Jag if he could erase the universe real quick and Jag was like "ok but it's gonna take me a while" and Metatron was like "ugh nevermind then" but Jag is still working on it and he hopes to have the surprise ready by Metatron's birthday


I would hope that no character who has either committed, is still committing, or is planning to commit large scale galactic genocide would count as a Good Guy!! Or at least not unless they feel kinda bad about it!!!

e: Auntie Maya has definitely committed galactic genocide and probably feels bad about it btw

Well, you have to treat "good guy" as a relative term. Sure, Auntie Maya has done some bad things in her time, but she's not trying to destroy the universe.

I'm wondering if Jagganoth was contacted by the Thorns or some third, as yet unknown faction of angels. On the one hand, iron feathers definitely sounds up 6 Juggernaut Star's alley. But on the other, none of the thorns actually have wings anymore, and Jagganoth himself was angry about them showing up in his worlds. So if he is working for the thrones, he doesn't know it, or they had a falling out at some point.

I guess it could be that he's working not for the thorns, but rather Metatron directly.

I like that the only time we've seen Jagganoth come close to smiling is that panel where he's working on his upgraded elephant helmet :3:
