I still don’t understand why White Chin decided to do all of this. Cause she was what? too powerful? didn’t have enough discipline? if that’s the cause it looked like she learned her lesson 2 pages ago. but now with this it seems like the reverse has happened. seems like the real lesson that was learned is that you should be as ruthless as possible and never take your guard down.
gj white chin. you really did it this time.
42 Fragments the Universe Beyond All Reintegration
One assumes that White Chain never believed that Allison could win the tournament and face Solomon; it wasn’t part of the plan. Then much excrement occurred and Alicio looked set to win. This was horrifyingly bad: we now see that Alicio was only just strong enough to defeat an angel, and Abaddon has said (Tumblr, somewhere) that all the Seven are stronger than any angel. If Alicio fought Solomon, she would lose and the key would be captured. White Chain knows this, even though Alicio was over-optimistic.
For White Chain to protect the key, Allison needs to lose, or give up, or just run away, before Solomon removes her head. The grudge match and the philosophical needle and the fury have obscured this, but White Chain’s strategy is actually right. And yes, sadly enough, killing Allison to get the key to safety is still an option.
I would like to point at that if Solomon mostly stuck to his own rules all Allicio would have to do to win is draw a single drop of his blood. Then she could just ask for Zaid’s freedom and then they could just run away really fast before Solomon changed his mind. Not that that’s necessarily the best strategy, but if Allison’s sparring with Incubus in the dreamscape is at all accurate and realistic there is a chance she could have won as per the rules of the tournament.
Yes! Just as this episode reiterates in some ways Cio’s near-killing of Allison, one can easily imagine Allison drawing a drop of Solomon’s blood just as she did to Incubus.

I do believe that Allicio could have succeeded in this way, since the who story is about finding power that one didn’t know one had. It needs a few more plot twists for her to do it. My point is that White Chain doesn’t believe it. Allison’s point is that White Chain isn’t even capable of contemplating it.
Also I wouldn’t trust Solomon to not kill Allicio right after she drew blood. He’s shown his willingness to kill unexpectant people before and getting Allison’s key would make him by far the strongest of the 7. This whole excursion was a rescue mission and Allison should have stuck to the plan.
He already if totally confidant he is the strongest of the 7 already. Claiming Allison’s key would just get him embroiled in another universal war which is the opposite of what he wants. He is tired of ruling and politics and desperately wants some one worthy to take his empire so he can pursue a purer, higher, more esoteric form of royalty. If any thing he’d be disappointed than anything else if Allison beat him and asked for Zaid instead of his kingdom.
Allison says she gives up, but I think that she actually won this fight. She forced White Chain to change his (her?) ways, to use underhanded tactics and be his (her?) true angelic self.
Sometimes one can reforge a sword that once was broken. Ah it takes some effort, but to take the time to do so has meaning. Often the sword is stronger than it was before.
It is almost impossible to reforge a sword broken by the smith that forged it.
A smith that breaks their sword always feels regret. It is like killing one’s own child.
I love the umbilical cord imagery, whether it be intentional or not. White Chain, rising from (an armor of) ashes, taking her first steps outside of the void in her own form, abiding by her own rules instead of the angels’ law.
In many ways this is a rebirth.
Too bad it comes at the cost of these unseemly spikes
White Chain lingers on the first steps to becoming a thorn knight, refusing to retreat, out of anger, and refusing to advance, out of shame. Such an arrangement cannot last forever.
Congratulations White Chain, you won by sucker-punching the only person who looked up to and liked you as an individual. While they were distracted by their regret in being forced to harm you.
Can’t wait for Solomon to give White Chain their just rewards.
As I predicted several pages ago: White Chain is learning a new lesson in remorse. Maybe now she can reconcile her hard-wired need to follow the letter of the Law, with her immediate duty to her friends and, by extension, the Multiverse as a whole.
Well, I guess you don’t get to 82 without learning a few tricks. But I feel like the real lesson here is about to be learned by White Chain, just as Cio learned by nearly killing the heir. Seems like a strange way to cement relationships, but then Allison is not your typical barista.
So, this is how the embers of holy flames look lile…
You know, even if regular embers can’t match the radiance of the fire they come from, they still keep a warm, inviting brightness.
But this… these embers are so… sorrowful
Salamat Daddy wants to quit being king, Allison wants to quit fighting. She claims to only fight to save Zaid, who “doesn’t deserve any of this.”
SD will call her on her shit, he knows about the break out attempt and that this show is a ruse. He will bring Zaid to bear, and tell Allison that since she stopped fighting his life is forfeit, and take his head. In a fit of righteous indignation, her royalty will flare and she will fight him.
He will use his free action dialog to ask her the difference between Zaid and any other of the poor turds in existence. Nobody deserves this, why would she fight for only one of them? A true regent would fight for them all.
then he would spray blood out of his eyes like a gila monster and use his winning wish to curse her with his kingdom and run away to live out the rest of his life on vacation.
Then gog agog couldn’t keep the act together any longer and would make the headless Zaid meat-puppet start dancing while the real Zaid continues eating bon bons in another castle.

this is probably the best explanation I’ve heard for all of WC’s actions. it covers all my major problems with what WC did.
like I can fully admit that the only way Alison was going to realize that she wasn’t a match for Solomon was to be beaten by WC in such a way.
I would like to point at that if Solomon mostly stuck to his own rules all Allicio would have to do to win is draw a single drop of his blood. Then she could just ask for Zaid’s freedom and then they could just run away really fast before Solomon changed his mind.

Allison lost the battle but she won the war.
I-is that…the forbidden Taijutsu of the Leaf Village…Kakashi’s secret technique:
…ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!
Okay but why is nobody talking about how sexy this form of WC is.
what a bitter defeat
That umbilical cord is distracting.
Well, that was fast. Painful, too.

i mean shes lying, but the lie hurt as well.
when words dont work, fists, when fists fail hurt them with your words.
that shame at the end, hahahahaha
I think the angel from book 3, 7-80 would agree with Allison here. White Chain has some issues they are working out.

Weeeeelll
Hell.

Hey wait a minute. That was clearly TWO FINGERS! By the laws of Anime she has cheated.
What if dear White Chain carried her shell on her back and walked the lands closer to her true nature? She might feel less body dysphoria.
As I predicted several pages ago: White Chain is learning a new lesson in remorse. Maybe now she can reconcile her hard-wired need to follow the letter of the Law, with her immediate duty to her friends and, by extension, the Multiverse as a whole.
When you cry out “Oh God!”, does it mean more to an Angel that it would to a human?

Barista could do worse than learn the tea ceremony after all this.
I had never seen Grace Jones THIS angry until today.
An heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyo echos through the cosmos
Like I’ve said over and over: Allison wasn’t allowed to win this fight.
Man. I really thought those two were inseparable.
Closest White Chain has come to having breasts.
I think Alison might have actually won.
The one where you realise you were both mostly wrong but still a bit right.
So, this is how the embers of holy flames look lile…
You know, even if regular embers can’t match the radiance of the fire they come from, they still keep a warm, inviting brightness.

hell is the job you can’t quit.
