Filing White Chain under "valid" seems wrong right now because she's currently trying to be something she's not. If you fall under "valid" when you're going in the opposite direction from valid, then everybody's valid. Obviously Nyave is a pure cinnamon bun whose smile must be protected. Cio is basically ping-ponging between alignments trying to find herself and is impossible to evaluate.

Devils long to test and refine their self-identity. Most of the demiurges seems to have lost theirs beneath the power of their keys.

I suspect angels focus a lot more on hating humans because genociding all humans is actually practically possible, and getting rid of all the devils isn't.

I mean, I think comparing it to tying up a rampaging elephant with silk is going too far. Applying a mask and a name to an unbound demon is the procedure for binding it; there are just usually safeguards. It's more like tying up a rampaging elephant by running up to it with... elephant-binding equipment... and attaching it to the elephant while it's rampaging. It's not really not how this is done so much as just fantastically ill-advised.

The really funny thing is that being able to do Ki Rata is almost completely irrelevant to whether Solomon David can keep Alison from walking off with Zaid, short of him keeping Zaid tied to his person at all times, forever.

It certainly seems possible that Jagganoth is not omnicidal but just finds it convenient to be thought of as being omnicidal. There are definitely some benefits to the other demiurges believing he's out to end the universe.

Meti is basically presenting her students with a question with two answers. Incubus has the "right" answer and Maya has the "wrong" one, but what Meti actually wants is to be presented with a third answer that's better than any of the ones she's actually come up with because she really wishes there was one.

I think White Chain was perfectly capable of killing Allicio in her current state of mind, and that she probably wouldn't have allowed herself to be stopped by any level of force below the potentially-lethal. I guess a better way to say it is that I don't think Allicio made the wrong call here, although it's obviously going to hurt them a lot. White Chain brought this outcome on themselves.

Honestly, Allison has no desire or interest in fighting Solomon David. Her team is already leaving with the thing she came for. It would be incredibly appropriate for everybody in the ring to KO each other and the winner/s leave without even bothering to tell him they're going.

Was it really foreshadowed? Because I remember that scene as "oh, so Juggernaut Star is also female" because we literally saw her face and kept wondering if it was appropriate to keep calling her "him" when people kept doing it.

Given all the focus on how strong and perfect Solomon David is, and how the demiurges are completely imprisoned by that power, I still feel like the most appropriate thing is for Allison and company to wind up never fighting him at all.

I will make a prediction: Allison will end the fight by holding both combatants apart without hurting either of them. This will break the illusion of Solomon’s perfection without sinking to his level and also probably make him so mad he weeps blood.

If I had to describe the relationship between Meti, Maya, and Incubus:
If I had to answer the question "could Maya beat Incubus" I would probably say "nobody knows, and Maya doesn't know, and she doesn't know what would happen if she succeeded and whether she would like that result, and because of that she's been loving around for a million years instead of cutting him."

Regalingualius posted:I’m thinking that there’s a reason VG described her as “transcending”: she’s about to unveil a never-before seen brand of martial arts that she somehow invented in one night that makes Ki Rata look like child’s play.

I'm pretty sure that Solomon David's reaction is because White Chain could have hit him straight in the face with a Ki Rata punch and chose not to. She's transcended the Wheel by using his bullshit martial art to perform a nonviolent miracle that he couldn't have done himself.

Okay, so it's cooler if White Chain catches the rings on her own arms when they fall, but it's probably more appropriate if they fall forgotten to the ground.

Now I'm sort of picturing a scenario where White Chain has in fact incorporated Solomon David's DNA to make her body and tries to claim that he can't attack her without spilling his own blood. I'm not sure if that's really in-character here, but defeating him via strained analogy is funny.

The important thing about what Gog-Agog is saying isn't that the crowd is her; it's that she is the crowd. She identifies herself with everybody (because that is what she spends all her time trying to be).

Saying "oh my god I can't believe how big a bop this preview you can't see is" is annoying. Talking about the content of the preview with proper spoiler warnings is different. I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna talk about what's in the preview, so watch out! Preview spoilers below: Did we, uh, did we even know that Jadis was capable of moving around on her own, much less teleporting across worlds? What on earths is she saying? Presumably something like "I would like to make it clear that all my previous prophecies mentioned dudes and not radical ladies, because I hate you all and enjoy leading you astray."

Tenebrais posted:While Jagganoth-Mind fits just fine, Jadis-Blade really doesn't to me. All the demiurges have been in some way trapped by their word of royalty, and while Jadis is very obviously trapped, she does not appear to be trapped in a cycle of carving her will upon the universe. Kind of the opposite. Fate is not like the cut of a blade, but rather, the myriad of paths formed when a hammer cracks ice. Unless you're Jadis, who made the mistake of looking at what would be instead of what she could do.

It occurs to me that Maya is going to Ruin Everything in service of her grudge, but the demiurges will still be incredibly polite and respectful to her as she does it just because it will cheese off Incubus.
