King of Swords 9-127
“FIERCE HORSE SOUL
A peculiar internal style with very narrow application, and one almost solely focused on defensive techniques. Practiced by most angels, it is almost entirely focused on getting close enough to a foe to subdue him without harming him, with maximal speed, safety, and precision. The movement techniques in this style are very popular and often borrowed by other schools, such as the Unlimited Chariot Sprinting technique which, when practiced properly, allows running at incredible speed over long distances without tiring. The student of this school is taught to endure all kinds of harm, hardship, and exhaustion in the pursuit of his quarry, and in doing so develops a truly unique constitution, resiliency, and ability to channel internal force.
Though it is commonly perceived to have no offensive applications, a quirk of this school is that due to its energy conservation techniques, a trained master who has practiced them for an extremely long time is capable (or so I have heard) of unleashing attacks of staggering power, aimed at felling dangerous or impossible to subdue foes. Such an technique must be delivered at extremely close range and can take a phenomenal amount of concentration and cultivation of internal force. Only the oldest extant angels proficient in this style are said to be capable of this ‘ten thousand year evil-quelling fist’ style – those that have been alive for an age or more. If any of them truly exist and can be roused to action, it would be a most terrible sight indeed.”

Not related directly to this panel, but I thought of something. So, Juggers’ wings are mutilated and small, right? And we see in Wielder of Names that Jagganoroth was gifted 30 angel feathers, forged into nails and stuck into his flesh. His goal is annihilating the multiverse, which is aligned with Metatron’s old goal and the Thorns’ current goal. We don’t know if it was our dea(d)r Juggers that gave the goal or if it was Metatron, but what we might know, is that the feathers came from Juggernaut Star’s old wings, hence why they’re crippled and ruined now.
You might be on to something.
As well as the riddle of who is artificing Thorn armors…
I thought it was 10, not 30? Either way, it’s certainly a plausible theory.
HORSIE ! yay !
To know that horses have existed before the invention of this ancient style is a wonder
Be-GONE, THOT!
I’m starting to think angels only pray for forgiveness before a fight because of the upcoming COLLATERAL DAMAGE.
So… if Vigilant Gaze has indeed put Juggernaut Star down with this blow, does that mean he wins the tournament and is invited to duel Solomon David next?
Or, since he didn’t actually enter the tournament, and just sort of showed up on the field, does that mean the last official entrant who had been standing would be the winner – which I think might be White Chain?
Whatever the outcome, if the Empire endures the aftermath of what comes next and the tournament cycle is not ended, there will be some clarifying additions to the rules, I think.
Technically, everyone standing at the end of the time limit goes to the next round. Alison, White Chain, and Cio are beat up, but still in the arena.
He’s confirmed for Smash, you know…
Juggernaut Star – you’re fired!
Cockroach … Got ’em
Seeing all these fighting styles has led me to regret my own choice in combat arts.
I remember enjoying the untranslated one punch man webcomic though I couldn’t read it.
I remember wondering what the hell was going on in this crazy shingeki manga with giant monsters eating dudes and trying to explain to the missus before I realized I should tell her there were only like 20 chapters out and nobody knows half of the stuff she asked me about.
I hated myself after finding and devouring all 36 chapters of Vinland Saga and realizing I would have so much wait to see where it went.
Both To You, The Immortal and Houseki hooked me instantly with just a handful of chapters out, as did Nanatsu no Taizai.
All of these deserved to be adapted and thankfully have been, and the waits were worth it.
Been around here and loving it for LITERALLY years as well… so I just gotta ask…
Where the hell is my KSBD show?
Begone THORN
That’s a punch with a ten thousand year wind-up.
Just want to take a moment to appreciate that.
10,000 years. One punch.
Anyone know what the alt-text video link used to link to?
Thanks for sharing this quality information with us. I really enjoyed reading. Will surely going to share this URL with my friends.
in the movie I want the bridge of *Red Sun* to kick in on this page.
10 Vigilant Gaze is the best character.
And Jesus fired the kamehameha…
Everybody gangsta till they get hit with the Great Chariot Cannon.
