Every time I think I’m creative I type some variation of “redhead female pirate” into any given image search and watch the Corva-clones spread across my screen.
Well, except I can’t draw a tricorn hat. Believe me, I’ve tried.
Gilgam is referring to his father Araku’s assistant Yuon, who last showed up…oh jeez, Chapter 8? Like a zillion pages ago.
Since our current Anthem is an emulated divine copy, is the original Anthem among the stars of death and sleep somewhere?
With a version of Ismene at hand, one wonders what will be the effect on Vish’s emotional development. His “Wait, WHAT?” a few strips ago was pretty understated. Granted she’s dead, but as previously noted, so is Anthem. Sortof.
okidesha drowns via flood attack…Hunh. I guess there’s a reason they travelled to Zaiapan, and why Darumatha ran over there I guess?
“Since our current Anthem is an emulated divine copy, is the original Anthem among the stars of death and sleep somewhere?”
The original Anthem is now Okidesha’s thinking mind.
Oh. Okay. Thanks, I had missed that, but it makes sense.
That is clever. The chain breaks but nobody is left to change anything. Maresh would be free to remake the world and Tamantha as he sees fit.
It is also possible Maresh “sees fit” to just kill everything. That was kind of the lesson of Gurahl’s whole “righteous world” exercise.
Incorrect. The killing wasn’t the point. Gurahl just killed the “wicked” because it was the solution to the problem that he could understand best. Something doesn’t do as you wish them to do? Kill them. Permanent solution. After all reforming has a chance of back sliding. Gurahl is a monster even by godly standards.
That said though, despite the fact Maresh is type to plot and plan for the long term, I think your right about why Maresh embraced this method. His fanaticism has reached toxic levels. He believes the only way to make things right is to cleanse anyone who doesn’t follow him from existence.
My assumption is that Maresh’s “wicked mind” is able to think forward enough to see that ultimately everyone will have to die because ultimately no one is perfect.
Yes, this does assume that Maresh is smarter than a god, but I’m okay with that assumption.
