Maya seems like a sentimental creature. She’s protected harmless noodle vendors and random demons (admittedly, because she was enjoying her noodles), she seems more interested in discussing high wisdom/making a connection with Alison than with fighting her, and here she is protecting random children.
Hmm… Seems to me that the “mis-take” may have been halving the thorn armor instead of the wheel, if we are to believe that Juggernaut is the wheel. Also interesting to see that Angels are apparently not immune to the explosive energies released from other Angels ~ supposing of course that the Armor and Wheel were two seperate enties to begin with, and not a single entity inhabiting multiple vessels, like some a them other fellahs have said.
Difficult thing to coherently inhabit more than one vessel, believe you me!
Even in the darkest reaches of the void, he retains this ability to operate as a swarm of smaller, seemingly independent entities.
While he opted to keep the humanoid portion of his self unarmored, he kept the motorcycle parts sheathed in their shells. I wonder how many of the other thorns even know the extent of this power.
Soooo I’ve been reading this amazing comic for about 8 months now… I just now noticed that you have ALT-text on them….. time to reread the comic i suppose….not that that’s a bad thing.
Hold it, hold it. Was 6JSSU the skeleton AND the bike, or just the bike? Because we definitely saw them in the angel whatever place after being bisected.
We do not know- my personal guess is his essence inhabited both, though truly I cannot be certain and the humanoid form may have been simply a weapon of sorts.
He was both, which is a rare feat among angels, being divided so. This helps to explain why his number is so low. It makes it very hard to banish him to the void at all, which is needed to ‘kill’ him, and it lets him bring the bike to the void without losing its’ form. Do not mistake the rider for the steed.
Furthermore, the REST of his bike may, in fact, still be at the palace, which, while surely disorienting, may be a good thing for him, as it is therefore not in the vicinity of Mathangi ten Meti.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss that, I feel strongly about this and so really like getting to know more on this kind of field. Do you mind updating your blog post with additional insight? It should be really useful for all of us.
My admitted fascination with the mortal students of sword law is in their seeming disinterest in the politics of their ethereal counterparts. Angels, demons, and sorcerers that blur the lines between, almost obligatorily it seems, engage in grand metaphysical crusades, according to their respective nature. Their power, intrinsic to them, drives them forward as much as enables their power games.
The mortals who study sword law, on the other hand, seem drawn to the opposite. Is it the study of violence that makes it less appetizing as a tool? In striving to acquire the means to destroy those around them make said process less tempting? I fear I, a wielder of a pen, will never know. Still one can ponder… maybe only ponder, and drink tea when that pondering gets depressing.
“Hrrrn. Softness.”
There was never one without the other. What more proof do we need that there was never more than one to begin with?
Rubber 2 looks great
And so she learned to care for the blade, and so did it shine.
I’m surprised how long she’s had that for then

I really do like her so far.
You can kill the body, But the Wheel keeps on turnin’!

Wheels within wheels, as they say.
Juggy has split his essence into as many as 11 parts:

Doombots are so last season.
Then again, Star here does have a rather low number, so perhaps we ought to learn from him in this regard.
Never underestimate an Angel who is also a Motorcycle.
Woe be to he who mistakes the rider for the steed.
But if you kill off Maya I’m gonna be piiiiised. I liked this character WAY more than 6 Juggernaut

I warned you at the time, brothers, not to white out the 6 until you saw the fate of the wheel of eyes.
I am pleased to see that 6 Juggernaut Star perdures yet. He may be a Thorn, but he is among the oldest and wisest of our kind.
When one cuts a wheel, can it still roll? Or does it rock?

I do hope we find out soon.
As a circle in a spiral. Like a wheel within a wheel. Never ending or beginning.
Pure.
Infertile.

Hmm… After takin’ a look back, it seems to me that that Juggernaut fellah really might probably is both the Wheels (plural) and the Armor.
That’s definitely one bad hombre’.
Oh man, Maya is my favourite character.
So happy when she was safe, and now I’m worried again.

I see Maya, too, knows of that old word of lamentation.
There’s much Oof to go around in the multiverse…
