But nobody saw him get punched? They saw him take off his bangles, then the ground exploded, then there's two people about thirty feet from each other.

I want an audience member with keen enough eyes to point and say "Oh no! The emperor has suddenly sprouted lesions!"

They saw a big explosion, the rings dropping to the floor, and then Salami rub his face and check his hand. It totally looks like, to them, that Sad Dan got an injury on his face. Also that there's 2 people in the ring instead of Soda Dave and a smear.

IIRC Abbadon implied in WoG somewhere that Mottom was aging because she thought she should be aging and is afraid of death, but now after Allison destroyed the tree she's too pissed off to age, even though she's eating less peaches.

And Allison apparently cured Mammon’s Fantasy Dementia by getting him pissed off at her, too. So is she about to get Solomon to learn to let go of his empire by majorly ticking him off?

Mammon's not pissed at Allison, he's pissed at Mottom for killing his people. Which is kinda sweet he's more concerned about their lives instead of how his vault was breached and his money spilling everywhere.

He was pretty pissed at the Count being ruined. Now he has to actually calculate and think again rather than just watch numbers go up.

Not really? If he was really pissed he'd have demanded more than a verbal apology from Allison. Meanwhile, he was calling Mottom a murderer while breathing fire in the demiurge meeting, instead of mentioning anything about his money.

One of Allison's sorority sisters is a childhood friend of hers, the one who said she's gonna cook her dinner, and seemed close to Allison. Can't imagine what it must be like seeing your best friend start losing herself over the years cause of self-hate, suddenly disappear for 3 days, come back looking pretty traumatized and having a sword and a "bindi" in her head, then say she's going on a 2 week Grand Canyon trip, then disappear forever. Wonder if she's still looking for Allison.

Yeah they were loving that poo poo, and it's understandable. And everything WC said is true; we know it, SD knows it. But if you're sitting in that crowd, it's a big pill to swallow with no immediate upside and I bet SD knows that too.

I can see him standing up to directly address the crowd and asking if that's really what they want, and if you're WC what do you do if the answer is a big fat NO? Force it on them because they don't know better?

Then the people have spoken. But I believe you're overestimating how many actually buy into the whole Paternum thing and how many just go along with it because they know they'll get punished otherwise.

Side question.

How do we know Princess Jack Daniels is now a woman? Originally she was Vladok, old man ebon demon, but now she is buff fight lady. Is it ever addressed directly in the comic? Is it just her name change? She doesn't directly look feminine, but she does give the same sort of vibe WC did in her stone form where you get that intended gender feeling.

Devils don't seem to really give much of a gently caress about gender identity.

Picking up the multiverse was something a god did in the nebulous beforetimes that exists as a literal paradox. Present day Demiurges are pretty far from that level, that multiverse-picker-upper merely exploded her eyes by seeing everything, whereas Jadis turned herself into dried jerky preserved inside an ice cube.

I mean, even if we accept that the 30 nails are an artifact of power on the level of the univeral key, I'm pretty sure any of the seven would be completely freaked out if Zoss turned up even as a disembodied key-less ghost head in their dreams.

Joe Slowboat posted:

I feel like it's entirely possible Jagganoth is definitionally invulnerable, and anyone constrained by causality cannot do him physical harm.

That still wouldn't rule Zoss out based on what we've seen, so, there's your answer.

I recall Abaddon saying that even YISUN would be hard-pressed to harm Jagganoth as he is now.

In any case, Jagganoth's thing narratively is that he cannot be defeated by force, and thus Allison and co. would need to approach defeating him by some other means.

I'm pretty sure it's just Maya leaving her Key behind when she left and Incubus stealing that. In that sense, he didn't earn his throne, even compared to Mammon.

I really doubt they're gonna 1-on-1 given they know each of them individually can't take on Jagganoth, but even if they attack at once they'll likely get in each other's way.

Ironically, Nadia and Mammon will be the most coordinated since they've been fighting each other a bunch. :v:

We are pretty certain he got her key. That much is clear.

The circumstances are still vague. Personally I think she left the key and fled because she thought Incubus would kill her, and had stewed in hatred for him ever since. She denied him his victory and so he thinks that’s why he’s unfulfilled, because Incubus is utterly driven by a need to win.

They never fought, because only one of them would be alive. And Incubus would have fought. Ergo, Maya fled.

I really doubt it's because Maya was a afraid of Incubus, like your wording is implying. She realized being a demiurge was an empty life, and she should've listened to her teacher so many years ago.

Joe Slowboat posted:

She has been stewing on murdering him for the entire age of the Seven. She has dwelt on how she should have killed him, or died trying, long ago.

She may not have been afraid but Maya did not think she would win the fight against the man who killed her master, Meti the Sword Saint, and fed her body to the dogs.

Incubus is the student who learned from Meti only how to kill good and strike first, but he clearly learned how to kill good and to strike first.

I'm pretty sure it's less because Incubus is more skilled/powerful and more Maya for whatever reason couldn't bring up the resolve or will to. I find it more likely that she left her key behind, and then realized how bad it was that Incubus got it. Just like the other demiurges, Maya was stuck in a rut of self-loathing and stagnation. It was only when Allison came that she finally started acting.

“God will never forgive me the hate I feel for that man.[...] He killed my master, and threw her body to the dogs.”

Incubus killed Meti, he must be a truly terrible swordsman.

We also don't know if he beat Meti in a true fight or if Meti just let it happen to make a point to Maya.

I also don't see Maya being completely capable of beating Incubus to take away from her loathing him. If anything, it makes it even more intense, since she knows she could and should defeat him, but there would be no point to it because it would be furthering the same cycle she tried to leave and it would mean her leaving everything behind to be for nothing.
