I think it’s worth taking another peek at the cover of Book 5. See how she is depicted there. The vacant socket and missing limb were obvious things (many here anticipated that), but now we might expect the short hair and Zoss’ insignias everywhere.
1. YISUN said: let there not be a genesis, for beginnings are false and I am a consummate liar.
2. The full of it is this – the circular suicide of God is the perfection of matter.
3. YISUN lied once and said they had nine hundred and ninety nine thousand names. This is true, but it is also a barefaced lie. The true name of God is I.
4. Living is an exercise of violence. Exercise of violence is the fate of living
5. Violence is circular. Perception is not circular and lacks flawlessness- therefore, rejoice in imperfect things, for their rareness is not lacking!
6. Love of self is the true exercise of the God called I.
7. Only an idiot cannot place his absolute certainty in paradoxes. The divine suicide is a perfect paradox. A man cannot exist without paradox – that is the full of it.
I think that we have. Look at the vague shadow around the Jaggacrotch, and you can see the outline of a Jaggahog shape, and it also seems that there are tendrils of darkness coming from Jagganoth, emanating from the outline of his Jaggahog.
He did, but the ravages of time upon time took their toll. He can’t even remember their faces or names, or why it was so important. Why all that wealth was important. It had to be important, hadn’t it? But all that was gone. The only thing he had left was an impossible guilt that he couldn’t understand anymore, the certainty that he deserved every attempt on his life that had been made, and the solace of The Count. All who came to kill him wound up as his protectors, because how could you possibly lift a hand to harm something that was, beneath it all, simple and gentle, kind even? Pity the dragon, indeed.
Uh, I mean, look! Six swords! Wow! That’s a good number of the swords to see
A fantastic summary! He is an excellent example of what happens when the means becomes the ends. Presumably, he originally sought wealth to free himself and others from slavery. But eventually he became lost, and wealth itself became the goal instead of the tool.
Blind, unending ambition is the necessary folly of Royalty, though. Only an idiot incapable of assessing their own needs can ascend to godhood.
His sin of avarice was so great that, even after attaining his blood-soaked crown, he believed he could live in peaceful repose with his new “family” as well.
Hello.
I’m a semi-casual observer of this fight and I’ve found that my drink has grown a little warm due to Rayuba catching fire fairly recently. I’d like to order three of your finest ice cubes please. Delivery is appreciated, but I’m willing to pick up.
I feel like it’s not entirely intellectually honest to frame it this way.
On the other hand, I agree that if she died right now, her death would feel pointless and hollow. It happens when you fight against a world-ending murdergod but I don’t feel like it would be esthetically satisfying/make sense for her to die in any other way than defiantly standing up to tyranny in an incredibly momentous, pillars-of-heaven-shaking act of resistance that has significant consequences on the worlds. Also, why her and not the other two then, would be the question.
Because I would be tremendously bummed if the message of the whole story did a double-backflip-plus-ultra and ended up being “you can try as you might, but ultimately, you’re irrelevant and your existence is pointless”. As that’s the opposite of what I’ve gotten up until this point, and definitely not how I read White Chain’s arc last chapter. (Which is more, “no matter how lost the cause seems to be, no matter how defeated you might appear to be, no matter how little your efforts seem to amount to, the only thing you can do is keep fighting and die standing if you must” and the reward for that was actual personnal metamorphosis)
But I have all of my faiths placed securely in the palms of Abbadon’s big godly hands. So my message was entirely me living the story beat by beat and just being swept up in the sentiment, fearing for White Chain’s newly acquired life, and not at all the expression of any rational fear that she might actually be dead.
People should be judged by weight alone. Though some prefer the brown ones for their spicy flavour, the larger specimens produce far more useable fat on rendering regardless of colour.
They’re just pointing out that this – if White Chain was truly dead which she obviously isn’t – would smack of including a token character only to kill them off for poignancy. Which is only really an issue because it’s recurring – it’s the “The black guy never survives the horror film” of our time.
if you told this smooth brain about gender-based wage disparity, they’d be all “OH ARE YOU SAYING ALL WOMEN ARE BAD AT WORKING? BIT SEXIST DONT YOU THINK” smh
I think that people are having a really extreme response to this for no reason lol. I get where you are coming from but I am going to assume that as an immortal being shes probably fine (tho we bight be getting 83 white chain instead of 82 lol)
And with my body broken and the world around me dying, my last breath rised through my throat and leaves my dry lips in the shape of my final words:
“show us the jaggahog coward”
At the end of every cycle, the Jaggahog emerges magnificent amidst the taters of space time, a looming triumphant tumescence, for now the final time for the bearer of the word Sword has come. Self-annihilation of the last living being is imminent. He looks down upon the Jaggahog and approves. He takes it in his mouth, forming the Ouroboros of the Wheel. He no longer needs to breathe. One thing remains. Climax and ultimate purpose shall be reached through his death throes.
La petit mort et grande mort à la fois. All is well.
Unbeknownst to the father of steel and death and cunning and endings, the Jaggahog’s life seed carries the dreams of the dying godhead. Thus a single member of his essence defied his will.
The Orouboros collapses into a singularity of everything at the start of the new universe. Existence persists. The Jaggahog has no master.

Pity the Dragon
Who will never finish his count
One down, five more to go.

Speaking of covers, when will we see the second Jadis shadowy Jadis?
Oh dang, did Jagganoth break open Jadis’s glass prison with that last attack?
Let’s focus on the real tragedy here – still no Jaggahog and this was the most ample opportunity.
Amen!
What about the lack o Ciotwat?
Won’t anybody talk about that?
The circle, pure, infertile.
He is the end not the beginning.
He would not be healed
The lack of the Jaggahog is a sign that he is not the finality.
To behold it burns a amnesic hole in the retina such that the sight is forcibly recalled from the sensory cortex
Or it’s the one part of him that didn’t go giant, because he can’t conceive of any use it might have for violence.
dominant and infertile

Yisun, forgive me for what I have written.
Broken image, broken image nooooo
urk. not good not good…
On the bright side, Jagganoff has lost his sword, his armour and his cool shorts. He must be pretty close to defeated right now…
*swords
**Swordsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
He can always pull the decayed swords from the severed head of the dead god of the infinite vault.
Reach heaven through violence, Alice-Un.
As Kane, founder of the Brotherhood of NOD once said, “Peace through power!”
No Jaggahog 🙁
😔
Witness the Jaggataint!
That’s because he’s trans 😤
Well then show us the Jaggahole! I ain’t picky!
diversity win! the god that’s about to destroy the world and rebuild it anew is trans!
… What do you think hes holding above his head there? Thats his new strap on.
… Ill see myself out.
smh’ing my head right now fam
We do, however, get a relatively clear view of the Jaggabutt.
He who slays dragons…. Ah, I fear this threshold was surpassed long ago.
PAPA CAPITALISM IS DEAD
I always suspected that Jagganoth was a bernie sanders voter, now we have proof!
I’ve been saying this about Jagganoth for years—the worst thing about him is that he’s a gotdamn socialist.
Bah, coward! Praise the Red god!
Everyone will be equal when they’re dead.
Going to read all of Jagganoth’s lines in a cartoony Russian accent, now.
I knew it would happen, but I’m still not ready. He was too gentle for this world.
Pity the Dragon and Venerate the Count…. 🙁
It was obvious but I didn’t quite realize what it would be like to see it.
He had his entire family slaughtered though, right? Even gentlest of demiurges is a blood-soaked horror in truth.
He did, but the ravages of time upon time took their toll. He can’t even remember their faces or names, or why it was so important. Why all that wealth was important. It had to be important, hadn’t it? But all that was gone. The only thing he had left was an impossible guilt that he couldn’t understand anymore, the certainty that he deserved every attempt on his life that had been made, and the solace of The Count. All who came to kill him wound up as his protectors, because how could you possibly lift a hand to harm something that was, beneath it all, simple and gentle, kind even? Pity the dragon, indeed.
Uh, I mean, look! Six swords! Wow! That’s a good number of the swords to see
i for one still did a dance when reagan died even as he could hardly remember his crimes. the memories are still held, just not in the beasts mind.
and, no doubt, you congratulate yourself on doing so every day of your nasty little life.
A fantastic summary! He is an excellent example of what happens when the means becomes the ends. Presumably, he originally sought wealth to free himself and others from slavery. But eventually he became lost, and wealth itself became the goal instead of the tool.
Blind, unending ambition is the necessary folly of Royalty, though. Only an idiot incapable of assessing their own needs can ascend to godhood.
Just because he forgot doesn’t make him less guilty. If anything, it was a much too noble death for a slayer of kin.
His sin of avarice was so great that, even after attaining his blood-soaked crown, he believed he could live in peaceful repose with his new “family” as well.
IA! IA!
Holy fuck
Somehow I have lived–it seems that I was just out of range of the destroyer’s sword technique, or that my armor is made out of hardier stuff.
Truly, such destruction is a sight only once seen in a kalpa.
And to think I might see a demiurge wielding the head of another demiurge! This violence pleases me in its beauty.
Hello.
I’m a semi-casual observer of this fight and I’ve found that my drink has grown a little warm due to Rayuba catching fire fairly recently. I’d like to order three of your finest ice cubes please. Delivery is appreciated, but I’m willing to pick up.
Don’t worry–when the rest of you catches fire you won’t notice it anymore…
PLEASE WHITE CHAIN DON’T UP AND DIE OFF CAMERA LIKE THAT
I mean, she’s in War for Rayuba and that’s canon and definitely not a trick to give us false hope… right? …Right?
If white chain loses the war, she’ll probably canonically die.
What’s her number in the war?
Could be that THIS version of her died and she came back
She has no number there, she’s just “White Chain”.
Sure do hope the comic’s only canonically out trans woman doesn’t get killed off for the sake of advancing a cis person’s character development.
Dude chill, she’s in War For Rayuba. Also if White Chain was gonna die it would’ve been back when she fought Solomon.
Truly a, “But she didn’t die on screen” moment.
I feel like it’s not entirely intellectually honest to frame it this way.
On the other hand, I agree that if she died right now, her death would feel pointless and hollow. It happens when you fight against a world-ending murdergod but I don’t feel like it would be esthetically satisfying/make sense for her to die in any other way than defiantly standing up to tyranny in an incredibly momentous, pillars-of-heaven-shaking act of resistance that has significant consequences on the worlds.

What’s it like being so stupid as to judge people by something like sexual identity? Might as well start judging people by their skin color
People should be judged by weight alone. Though some prefer the brown ones for their spicy flavour, the larger specimens produce far more useable fat on rendering regardless of colour.
They’re just pointing out that this – if White Chain was truly dead which she obviously isn’t – would smack of including a token character only to kill them off for poignancy. Which is only really an issue because it’s recurring – it’s the “The black guy never survives the horror film” of our time.

82 White Chain is dead! Long live 83 White Chain!
And with my body broken and the world around me dying, my last breath rised through my throat and leaves my dry lips in the shape of my final words:
“show us the jaggahog coward”
And yea, Abbadon did look down and whisper… “No.”
He came prepared with a speedo the same color as his skin.
You’re a genius!
I think the addition of “coward” is what makes this hilarious every time
Plot twist Jag will kill them all and his demiurgine dick will be the last panel we see
I choose to believe that Jag, the veteran of countless battles, tucked the Jaggahog into a higher dimension before commencing battle.
At the end of every cycle, the Jaggahog emerges magnificent amidst the taters of space time, a looming triumphant tumescence, for now the final time for the bearer of the word Sword has come. Self-annihilation of the last living being is imminent. He looks down upon the Jaggahog and approves. He takes it in his mouth, forming the Ouroboros of the Wheel. He no longer needs to breathe.

Getting peak shivalinga vibes from this.
He just can’t stop
I guess this means 0001 is out of a job.
Or up for a promotion!
Where’s Mammon’s key?
You mean Jagganoth’s Key.
Oh God
correct
May I see a sword please

What is this a reference to?

The sanctioned action is to slam.
A very weird game from like 12 years ago called “Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden”. Googling and reading about it is highly recommended.
MY GOODNESS THIS BRINGS ME BACK
Slam with the best… Or jam like the rest.
Aw, Grandpa =<
GO GO GADGET DRAGONCOPTER!
Tis but a flesh wound….?
Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam
this one wins
Good things about this page: Alison has a cool undercut now
Bad things: jagganoth has no jagghog and is shaped like a ken doll down there. look at how they massacred my boy
If you can see the lines, it appears he’s wearing a flesh-colored speedo with an appreciable bulge.
He is clearly suffering from side effects from rampant steroid use.
White Chain dead: I sleep
Jaggahog dead from aeons of steroid use: REAL SHIT
Whydo some many people think a being made for destruction would have reproductive organs?
Violence begets violence. All know this.
Five to go.
cmon and SLAM
And welcome to the JAM!!!
you can’t just kill my buddy like that
Heroic or otherwise, a dragon slayer is always a figure it’s wise to fear. Pity things didn’t go quite according to plan, all in all.
