KING OF SWORDS 3-33
“The names of the host are marked in the Book of Un. The copy is held at the ruins of Koss’ Workshop, where the angels hold concordance, and there are five of their number marked hierophants who serve as scribes and record keepers. Each name is a fragment-glyph of a verse of the Old Law. It’s meaning is highly complex, and when translated into U.M. the nearest approximation is a sentence (usually declarative) or poetic, such as “Warding Flame Guides the Judicious” or “Sound of a Bell, Once, Warning the Iniquitous of Punishment”.
According to apocrypha and the angels themselves, their names were hammered into them with the sacred chisel YSMIR when the forge god Koss made them out of the smokeless fire of UN. As immortal beings, they often put their reincarnation number before their name, thus the angel “Searing Blade” who has reincarnated twice (and thus on their third incarnation) would introduce themselves as ‘3 Searing Blade’. Angels hold their names in high regard and seem to know their true meanings, letting them serve as moral guides.”

69 Absolute Unit Born In Thickness Returns To Subdue White Chain
What the fuck is your damage, dude? Don’t be creepy.
What, just because of the 69 joke? The “subdue WC” bit makes sense because it seems like they might be setting up this character to be a villain who will fight White Chain. Your reaction is… odd.
I’m pretty sure that’s not what they meant by “subdue White Chain”. It’s possible that was an innocent but unfortunate phrasing in conjunction with “69” and “thickness”. But I doubt it.
The “thickness” is current slang for a certain body type, not the anatomy you’re thinking of. You’ve seen it around, usually spelled “thicc?”
we can only hope his ass is fat and does not dissappoint
I must speak quickly for the channel I have opened from the future to relay this message is unstable.
Fear not –
The ass was fat.
Twas not just ass that was fat.
Every part of him is quite…chonky.
17 Absolute Unit Beheld In Awe For His Size
I once came across what I later learned to be the stone body of an angel on a plane far away. Here, it had grown a deep verdant moss, vines crossed the holy armor decorated in bright flowers. Cultivated around the angels’ hollow body was a magnificent garden of statues and fountains. I would later contemplate how pleasant it would be to wake in such a state. Now I contemplate my way home..
One of my masters used one an endtable for a time. I was unfortunate enough to be dusting it when it woke up and chased me through the whole house, destroying much of (and my master) in the process.

Could White Chain be training Allison to be more powerful than themself for her own protection? Then should White Chain ever be forced to attempt to take Allison’s life, White Chain has already ensured Allison will survive… at the cost of White Chain’s own life.
Hrmm… It would seem so! Not to mention preparing her for possible conflicts with Juggernaut Star. Reckon that’s a fight I’d pay to see 😉

Hm? Oh-ho!
“Pardon me, I was lost in thought…”
Hrmm… Would surely like to see more a’ them Angels return from the void!
LLLLLLet’s get ready to rumbuuuuulllll!!
hey, i thought the judges had abandoned the place
is it possible white chain’s famous tenacity just woke one up?
it’s always so hard to wait for the next page, i love this comic. it would be so amazing to see Vash get locked up for real here.
Sculpted to look as if beheaded. The symbolism is clear:
No will to break.
No thoughts to corrupt.
No weakness to exploit.
A poetic sympathy of forms. Though whether or not this one follows the implications of its shell remains to be seen.
But surely even the purest embodiment of the Law must have a mind to think?
Taihus is astoundingly observant.
That’s just it. You don’t think about the law, you simply enforce it. Human, earthly laws were written by humans and thus are imperfect, requiring thinking to determine application and limits.
Angelic, Heavenly laws are divine and cover every possibility. No thinking required.
I offer you my compliments for such a beautiful lie, although I imagine the Thorn knights find it distasteful.
Doubtful, as the majority of them have ceded to their identities and awareness to the Will of Metatron

thank god he wasnt born under an ihop
Ah. So that’s what the strange rock in my front yard has been the whole time. That would also explain why peasants and other such things seem to congregate in my yard every other Thursday and I have to throw coins at them until they go away. I certainly hope I haven’t become part of their ritual…
A name comes to me, a great name, a name worthy of hosts, a name to strike fear into those who break the Law.
… it is …
… this name …
7 Justice is an Absolute Unit
Thaaaaat is fascinating. I had assumed the number had to do with our position in the angelic hierarchy, what with Metatron 1 and 2 Michael.
Most enlightening.
It seems that while the numbers do not refer to their position in the hierarchy per se, they are nonetheless a good estimate of how powerful each angel is and thus how much authority they command. Michael has only been defeated once, for instance; Metatron, never.
Metatron has most certainly been defeated exactly once. He just didn’t die.
Ooh, that’s an interesting way of looking at it.
congrats on your rebirths?
This is one of the more entertaining and clever fan names I’ve seen, well done XD
It is a common slander that death & rebirth may addle one’s mind; but I find that only such fearlessness is adequate to refine & purify the flame within, to prove the limits of what is truly good, and true, and beautiful.
Is it really a Rebirth or is it just returning from a walkabout?
It also means that most fans who invented their own nicks with really high numbers were wrong in doing so: most angels would have a single digit number, and none of them have a three digit one.
So now we know.
Could be they’re not angels, but other immortal beings?
Is defense of the Red City the only righteous challenge worth a life? Young White Chain is admirable, but has only begun to shape his…their…life.
I’m quite aware of what my name means. I have given my life for Throne innumerable times. What have you done in the name of God?

“Wrong” is overselling it. This was known to us, and has been for years. It is a disconnect, one could call it strange, but many took this into account – at the very least, brothers Sex Machine and Toaster Oven have joked about this in the past.
you guys are gonna have to rethink your nicknames
This shit’s why you go for something in the middle.
Sounds like you’re playing The Price Is Right: go for the lowest bid so far plus 1$
My name is fine, thank you
I respectfully decline.
Also, from Abbadon’s tumblr:
(http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/181897823745/is-white-chain-the-angel-with-the-highest-number)
Q: Is white chain the angel with the highest number?
A: Definitely not, there are other angels who have reincarnated more, but White Chain reincarnated mostly defending Throne.
Which makes me wonder, what have those other angels been up to that’s getting them killed so much?
What is a name?
A word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to.
If you change the words does the nature of what was named change?
Names are for chumps
No Names are for Unbound Devils
I find it better by far to treat names as hats, and don and doff them as the situation calls.
Note the teacup as White Chain contemplates Michael’s instructions to kill Allison if necessary.
Ah, so that bit of symbolism is STILL rolling. Interesting.
Death and rebirth addles the mind? So those life, but we dance on
Just pointing out – fourth like in the description should be ‘its’, not ‘it’s’.
Destiny’s touch upon the world may at times seem a fluke, if one does not see the hand behind it.
Hrmmm, that chonky boi of an angel looks vexatingly familiar. I feel like we’ve seen him before.
It seems that, perhaps, the length and complexity of an Angel’s name is inversely proportionate to the strength and power of said Angel – much like Devils are.
Very much unlike Devils, Angels are a largely static and immutable force and neither change their form, names, nor powers. This is possibly why White Chain is seen as such an aberration by some.
This girl is not the fluke you are looking for.
I return.
