Read on the Wiki that they’re a race of book-servants, and that Cio uses that one as it’s intended to be used. Ingsvld was probably a servant too before he found a body of his own to pilot around.
So yeah. Head irreplaceable, body just a fancy car.
CAUTION: You are about to encounter a long string of ‘6 Juggernaut Star is a Tsundere!’ quotes, of which the above are merely a small portion. For those confused, this is due to a minor change in the dialogue in the first panel, the original wording of which has been purged from the mind of YIS and given to the mind of UN.
An angel, so angry, so vindictive? Why?
Hatred takes energy, drive, desire.
Exhaustion, now that revealed a great deal of truth.
Did we not see as much from a different angel’s despair?
I missed the chance to comment on the previous page, but in that and this we actually see the answer to my riddle, I suspect, in a roundabout fashion. If all you need do is drive an angel back, it takes much less force than slaying one.
And speaking of my riddle, from others’ responses it appears I may have misspoken. I forget sometimes that similar words have different connotations. Pray, allow me to pose the riddle again, correctly worded this time.
“It is an effort in frustration to split a cup of water with a sword. Oh, you will split the cup, but the water will simply gather in its time and find another cup. So then, how do you split water?”
… I think I’ve worded it correctly this time, and no, the answer is not turning the water to ice. Pardon my insistence on this, it was a riddle my master posed to me that I fancy, much like all the other riddles my master posed to me.
Uther "Chaos Angel", Least of Jagganoth's Foreservants
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! The answer is simple you see and is as old as all time. For civilizations have risen and fallen at its discovery. You split the very molecules themselves, with explosive results!
Splitting water is easy, you just have to pour it into a river that splits. Water just follows the natural path and if that path splits, so does the water.
I grew up on a steady diet of these in my esteemed American k-12 education. Give me a hard one
Drink it. Your body will absorb part of the water for its own purposes, and dispose of the rest. By the time it finds its way back to itself, you will be long dead.
Such attachments are not part of the angelic nature. We do not engage in epic romances of the red or black types, for our souls are pure of such base tendencies. Enjoyable as they may be.
There comes a time in everyone’s life where you have to ask: “Am I just an inconsequential character following around the main character so that there’s a bloody action scene on demand whenever there’s a confrontation between the main character and a villain?”
Luckily, Meti has graduated from inconsequential character to “rarely appearing supporting character”. yaaaay
It is great hubris to confuse Meti and Maya. Though both are drunken fools who chose the path of the sword. Meti spoke words of wisdom to the young Maya, but our swordsman chose not to heed here warning and picked up the sword instead of some useful tool.
So few of us know our own true faces, and fewer know the face of another. It takes a lifetime to craft the perfect mask to put on display for the world to see, molded over one’s face with either purposeful or accidental guidance. It can be painful to remove the mask, and yet it takes effort to maintain. It is difficult to pry off, for some impossible, and yet in moments of weakness a stranger may see the mask’s grip loose and glimpse the truth one hides, fearful of judging eyes, from the world.
You make it sound as though it is a frequent occurrence. I would point out that this happened only after I stood in the path of a rampaging angel, and that I shall be perfectly fine in no time at all.
Yes, I fully expect that I shall find myself pitted against that angel once more in the future, but I shall be prepared for that day.
Well. Considering that they were at the epicenter of a minature blast of angelo-nuclear fire and then fell to the ground from at least dozens of stories up….well, there are a lot of survivors. Pretty tough guys, although Ingsvid looks decidedly worse for wear.
Jhorne the Murderous Vagrant Slays Monsters And Steals Their Loot
I daresay all of us wish we could make such an awesome exit from an awkward conversation as 6 Juggernaut just did. Sadly most of us have these useless bodies of dangly arms and legs and not a perfect flaming wheel. That makes trying to roll along the ground at high speeds very difficult, believe me.
This Knight of Thorns is not yet ready to acknowledge they are turning from their chosen Path. But Doubt is a vicious weed, and once it takes root, it shall spread until its tendrils crack the heart wide open.
Depends. For the news of a great deed to spread there must be two things; The first is that there must be a Great deed. The second is that there must be a surviving witness.
Master of sword law requires the first, but not the second.
Perhaps an expert craves the former, but a master of sword-law knows that “great deeds” are how fools refer to massacres. A master requires only wine and time to forget before next they commit a great deed upon the multiverse.
This is the part where I say something deep and profound, right?
Let’s see, let’s see…
Something something faces and masks, lies that fool the liar, insert echo of Juggernaut’s own words about rotting in a puerile existence, something something.
Integer Who Will Non Be Named: You should unface.
JS: Indeed?
Number Who Will Remain Unknown: Indeed, it’s time. We have all laid aside disguise but you.
JS: I wear no face.
Integer (mockingly, aside to Number): No face? No face!
Oh, hey that stork-bird guy made it and that other guy with a book for a head found his head and that blue twi’lek looking one is still around. And that huge gold baby. So….yay.
Nay, look upon the text of the previous offering and see the truth. The wheel is Juggernaut’s true body, what our swordsman split was merely an extension.
We have seen her flying on a bolt action, so I wouldn’t worry too much. She probably flew away from the action to get a bead on that thorny looking motherfucker long afore she had to worry about Angel-fire.
Ingsvld seems to have temporarily lost their body… I wonder if that is normal and how difficult it is to recover from such an unusual injury to an unusual being
To put it in a manner that a human might relate to, it is something rather like breaking or badly dislocating an arm–it takes a fairly dramatic injury for it to happen, and it is supremely inconvenient until it has been resolved, but with proper attention it *will* be resolved (assuming, of course, that some unscrupulous fiend does not steal you away into slavery).
It lacks the pain of either of those examples, of course, and it’s something that I can tend to myself, given some time, but while I can be outwardly fully functional, it will take some days before I truly feel fully settled and aligned again.
The gun witch has the ability to fly, so is likely to have survived any fall, assuming she lived through the fracas in the ball room and the cataclysmic denouement of Juggernaut’s decoy body.
I will confess to having my favorites among the pursuers. I cannot fathom why anyone fancies that book-headed fellow, although his durability cannot be faulted.
I am afeard that my personal favorite, the deadly swordswoman with the sloe eyes and the intricate script upon her skin, is not seen here. Her prowess in battle shone above all others we have seen so far, but I worry that her durability in the face of such threats may have been lacking.
It seems that being among the Pursuers is going to demand the ability to tank hits like a mountain, as well as administer them.
And so the Thorn Knight makes a hasty departure – likely due to its mask slipping and revealing its true, surprisingly attractive face in front of the sword master who hurt it so. 6 Juggernaut Star clearly feels a need to regain its composure.
But can the Thorn Knight really be properly referred to as “it”, self-hating as it has been revealed to be?
Part of the thinks that the Angles will have to face a rather glaring issue in their species soon. Their constant need to forgo their preferred gender even though it really isn’t that big of an issue for them, unless you happen to be called 2 Michael.
Also, First, unless someone finished typing before me.
Joubes au Draco, Grand Dragon Bank regional manager
So I just realized that while I don’t know who Aunt Maya served in the Second Conquering, based on the dialogue with the children she probably was responsible for pacifying their world. Think of it like this. In a wildly huge multiverse why would two children instantly recognize a seemingly incongruous woman? They must be extremely familiar with her, and given Maya’s background that really limits their familiarity to two things; either she buys noodles there a lot (which given that we’ve mainly seen her hanging out in Throne is not terribly likely), or she “conquered” their world although that could’ve been done in such a manner as to not generate the hatred and ire of the populous. Considering the willingness of this particular worlds populous to be subjugated, I’m guessing option two.
I don’t think they recognized her. They just come from a culture where you’re taught to respect your elders; I read their interactions with her as the way they’d treat any older woman who they found fallen down like that.
I doubt the children recognize Murder the Gods and Topple Their Thrones. ‘Auntie’ is simply a common form of address towards an older woman, much like ‘Ma’am’.
What makes you think the children recognize her? They refer to her only as ‘Auntie’ which is a pretty common way to refer to a woman you do not know in many parts of our world, much less others.
There definitely seemed to be familiarity within the dialogues of the children to Maya. Then of course the “pursuers” ask her who she is indicating that even more worldly wanderers don’t immediately recognize her. Just my thoughts and observations, although it could just be honorifics as the numerous responders seem to think.
I also noticed that chasing Allison across the Void and into this world has gotten Maya ten Meti back into shape. She is far more toned than when we first saw her in Hell 71. Apparently keeping up with Allison is a work-out and a half!
13+1456i Radiant Shadow Counts All Which Neither Is Nor Is Not
We have seen her flying on a bolt action, so I wouldn’t worry too much about our favorite gunny gal’s health bernardy. I’d be willing to bet that she flew away from the brawl to get a bead on that thorny looking motherfucker long afore she had to worry about angel-fire
It’s incredible how much I love every single character in this comic. I’m so happy to see Giant Baby still around and kicking! He’s a little banged up now but get ’em some Pedialyte and a nice lie-down and it’ll be back to fightin’ form in no time.
Hmm… Well, I think Juggernaut is giving grudging respect to Auntie Maya for slapping him/her down when Juggernaut was throwing a tantrum and tearing up the, um, “lesser beings”.
‘A course Juggernaut is tired. It takes a lot of energy to maintain a right proper furious aspect, even for an unyielding flaming wheel. Shoot, a moment of deep insight brought on by a face slap delivered by a mere human, and no wonder Juggernaut’s aspect waxed feminine.
I can’t tell you how i feel

What’s up,I check your new stuff named “Kill Six Billion Demons » Seeker of Thrones 3-22” on a regular basis.Your humoristic style is awesome, keep up the good work! And you can look our website about تحميل اغانى http://www.aghanyna.com/arabic/.
I’m not gonna lie, while I did have a laugh at the perceived tsundere factor of the original lines in the first panel, I thought they sounded more natural than the new ones.
My guess is that Maya actually mentioning the face-slip would have been uncharacteristically foolish, and Juggy would have had to react rather more actively than stalking off — say, by killing all the witnesses.
So these lines are still fine. And probably a bit more presence-laden. I can understand changing the original ones, which may have sounded a bit swingy in mood, but I still liked them.
Wait, am I crazy or did this comic change? I distinctly remember Mathangi making a comment about Juggernaut’s face before, but now she just has the stoic silence. Was this edited, or am I now completely losing my already unstable mind?
As amusing as tsundere-Jugs was, I do think the new dialogue is more bitter and feels more appropriate…But that, of course, is only how I visualize the character, and I can’t speak for everyone in this reality or any other.
I wonder what the reason was- second thoughts on how these characters should act…? Auntie seems rather disinclined to mention what she saw, this go around.
Hey, Abbadon you changed the first panel from Maya acknowledging the change in the angel’s face via spoken dialogue (“Your face…”). You also changed the angel’s response at having “her” preferred form seen by a puerile mortal. Are you gaslighting those us who make repeated stops to see the same page? 😉
The thing that Juggernaut do makes me remember something. Movement. What an interesting feeling it was, to be in motion. But I wasn’t in motion. I was static. I was stationary.
Yes. It seems like someone has been walking in the ‘Time’ segment of my library and altering things again.
If I catch who it is…. Well, I do have my white-out alwas handy.
It’s too bad that eternally-blase-warrior-lady isn’t in the picture. It would be interesting to know if this merited opening her eyes more than half-way.
And I’m impressed with the Kappa, whose poise is so perfect that he retained at least some of the water in his head despite all this.
We observe the wheel, as we observe the universe it so slightly may resemble. Strange to see the universal icon used in such a warlike way. Perhaps it is the natural state of such things, then, for is the universe not forged by strife? Is it so then that to be broken upon the wheel is to be broken under the weight of the very universe itself?
But perhaps this musing ill suits us. We shall remain Observers, and leave such commentary for others more adequately equipped for the task.
We do note with some relief that poor INGSVLD survives, albeit looking quite destitute.
I wonder, does Maya consider herself one of those fools? Does a part of her reject the pursuit of ROYALTY, only to be drowned out by a thousand other greedier fractions? Or does she continue the hunt in order to better mantle Aesma?
From Abaddon himself on why this has been changed:
“Juggernaut came off as petulant and sulky, which was not my intention – I wanted to show that he’s literally not aware of his face changing. Instead he sounded like a 16 year old, which while hilarious was not really the way I want to write the character.”
In case anyone was curious.
The head snap to the side is a bit odd, now, though. Hum.
For those people who are surprised by the change of dialogue, Abbadon has Twitter account. He sated there the reason of the change. Also on Tumblr in answer to a question
Thanks for sharing with this advice, it may be useful for a person to use it for writing some essay, for example.
I particularly want to note your ability to express data in an accessible manner.

The murder baby survived!
Never count a murder baby out.
Even the stork samurai dude it grabbed previously.
If you thought Abbadon would get rid of a character who’s literally a giant murder-baby you’d be dead wrong.
Ingsvld hasn’t lost his head, I see. A promising start.
He’ll keep it in PRISTINE condition if he knows what’s good for him. I don’t care whose head it is, it is still LIBRARY PROPERTY!
Not so my friend, he simply has a backup head. He started carrying one after a blue devil stole the last one for paper magic.
Actually, Cio’s book belongs to one of his brothers.
A very sad story that.
Indeed. The head of Ingsvld is who Ingsvld is. If anything is replaceable, it is his body.
Read on the Wiki that they’re a race of book-servants, and that Cio uses that one as it’s intended to be used. Ingsvld was probably a servant too before he found a body of his own to pilot around.
So yeah. Head irreplaceable, body just a fancy car.

The skull, spikes, rage, are all a mask. One that takes effort to maintain.
Makes one wonder.
Mask? Or frame of mind?

Give it more than one place to go.
“If all you need to do is drive an angel back, it takes much less force than slaying one.”
It also has the benefit of not leaving a rapidly exploding shell in your face.
Two cups.
Your master was a wise man. The answer is of course to immerse your blade and walk away from it.
Two answers with the same meaning:
1. Pour half of it in another cup.
2. Drink half of it.
Meaning: Overcoming an enemy that is fluid (an thought, an movement, a religion) is only possible by putting its elements to new use.
Only works if the sword part isn’t important.
The answer is axiomatic.
Two cups.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! The answer is simple you see and is as old as all time. For civilizations have risen and fallen at its discovery. You split the very molecules themselves, with explosive results!
Do we BIRDS understand?!
Splitting water is easy, you just have to pour it into a river that splits. Water just follows the natural path and if that path splits, so does the water.
I grew up on a steady diet of these in my esteemed American k-12 education. Give me a hard one
You have a box of matches, a candle and a tack. How do you mount the candle safely to your player wall and light it?
The answer is not to glue it to the wall with a dub of wax. That doesn’t work.
Simple: You make a cup to split the water.
Now, of course, this leaves you with a cup of water unsplit.
One splits water in numerous ways.
Moses petitions higher powers.
YHWH is that he is.
Nicholson & Carlisle add salt and apply current.
Hay parts land with water.
Tsiolkovsky unsplits water and goes to space.
Pelton uses concrete and turbines.
In the immortal words of Stewart Griffin, “…freeze the [water] and then cut it”
Drink it. Your body will absorb part of the water for its own purposes, and dispose of the rest. By the time it finds its way back to itself, you will be long dead.
Turn it into oxygen and hydrogen. Done.
“I- I’m not leaving you to your puerile existence because I LIKE you or anything!”

YNGSVALD’s alive! I’m pretty sure I saw him getting rekt in the fight with that angel of death and destruction.
Decapitation is a much less serious affair when one’s neck is more metaphorical than literal.
“It’s not like I like you or anything Maya!” said Juggernaut as she rolled away, furiously blushing.
Blushing brighter than nuclear fire.
Looks like INGSVLD got his head back again.
Wonder how quickly he will lose it this time?
You make it sound as though it is a frequent occurrence. I would point out that this happened only after I stood in the path of a rampaging angel, and that I shall be perfectly fine in no time at all.
Yes, I fully expect that I shall find myself pitted against that angel once more in the future, but I shall be prepared for that day.
Is any blood creature ever prepared for his inevitable autumn?
If you continue chasing Allison, I suspect that day will come sooner rather than later.
Perhaps in your past it wasn’t so, but you seem to have chosen a life in which losing your head will be a frequent occurrence.
Wouldn’t it be more along the lines that INGSVLD got his body back, or his body found INGSVLD?
Well. Considering that they were at the epicenter of a minature blast of angelo-nuclear fire and then fell to the ground from at least dozens of stories up….well, there are a lot of survivors. Pretty tough guys, although Ingsvid looks decidedly worse for wear.

Oh Jugs, you can’t hide that pretty face. And if the eyes are the windows to the soul, well…Those spikes slipped for a moment, didn’t they?
As for the rest of the flotsam, the answer is clear:
Auntie is no one to be trifled with.
Juggernaut Star is kind of tsundere. You know, for an angel who’s a glowing red skeleton and also a hellish motorcycle.
Is it wrong that I feel slightly attracted to Juggernaut Star now?
well… that was anticlimatic…
Someone before compared Juggy Star with a moody teenager, but this… so much for the metal leader of the fallen angels…
“Face? What face?? You’re the face!!!”
An attempt at the “you’ve got something on your face” ruse? 6 Juggernaut Star is no rube!

That’s a ninja turtle _and_ a Shredder’s head!

What face, there was no face, you saw nothing, VROOOOMMM!
Someone’s about to turn down some new wanna-be students.
So is it 7 Juggernaut now?
Nah, it would take a bit more to force him to reincarnate.
His body wasn’t destroyed, and he hasn’t reincarnated, so it’s still 6. How fitting; both the hero and the antagonist have “6” in their names.
Nope. Not unless Juggernaut Star were killed rather than temporarily discorporated.
Delicious is the only angel we’ve seen that happen to so far.
Nay, look upon the text of the previous offering and see the truth. The wheel is Juggernaut’s true body, what our swordsman split was merely an extension.
For some reason Ingslvd holding his head just makes me laugh.
Ingsvld, even in all this chaos, has managed to keep a good grip on his head. If only we all were so fortunate.
INGSVLD looks remarkably calm for someone who’s lost his head.
Don’t worry. He found it.
One has to wonder; momentary lapse for 6 juggernaut, or the start of change?
The mask has slipped.
The pressing question: Where’s our favorite gun witch? She’s not among the 10 survivors + Maya shown here…
I see INGSVLD recovered his head.
She can fly, so i imagine she spirited away post-haste.
We have seen her flying on a bolt action, so I wouldn’t worry too much. She probably flew away from the action to get a bead on that thorny looking motherfucker long afore she had to worry about Angel-fire.

INGSVLD LIVES!
Ingsvld seems to have temporarily lost their body… I wonder if that is normal and how difficult it is to recover from such an unusual injury to an unusual being
To put it in a manner that a human might relate to, it is something rather like breaking or badly dislocating an arm–it takes a fairly dramatic injury for it to happen, and it is supremely inconvenient until it has been resolved, but with proper attention it *will* be resolved (assuming, of course, that some unscrupulous fiend does not steal you away into slavery).
It lacks the pain of either of those examples, of course, and it’s something that I can tend to myself, given some time, but while I can be outwardly fully functional, it will take some days before I truly feel fully settled and aligned again.
When you get your ass completely handed to then have to try and save face
also ingsvld are you OK there
Aww, I don’t see the gun witch.
Also, I want to say that Juggernaut’s tsundere, but I think its problems are deeper than just shallow animoo cliches.
. . . It was acting so cliched, though.
The gun witch has the ability to fly, so is likely to have survived any fall, assuming she lived through the fracas in the ball room and the cataclysmic denouement of Juggernaut’s decoy body.
I will confess to having my favorites among the pursuers. I cannot fathom why anyone fancies that book-headed fellow, although his durability cannot be faulted.
I am afeard that my personal favorite, the deadly swordswoman with the sloe eyes and the intricate script upon her skin, is not seen here. Her prowess in battle shone above all others we have seen so far, but I worry that her durability in the face of such threats may have been lacking.
It seems that being among the Pursuers is going to demand the ability to tank hits like a mountain, as well as administer them.
And Juggernaut Star journeys onward to find what is right in front of it’s face.
And so the Thorn Knight makes a hasty departure – likely due to its mask slipping and revealing its true, surprisingly attractive face in front of the sword master who hurt it so. 6 Juggernaut Star clearly feels a need to regain its composure.
But can the Thorn Knight really be properly referred to as “it”, self-hating as it has been revealed to be?
Unless of course the fools choose to follow you.
INGSVLD yet lives?! huzzah! and who knew Juggernaut was so sensitive deep inside…
Part of the thinks that the Angles will have to face a rather glaring issue in their species soon. Their constant need to forgo their preferred gender even though it really isn’t that big of an issue for them, unless you happen to be called 2 Michael.
Also, First, unless someone finished typing before me.
A great number of individuals have come before you, I am afraid.
NO. YOU WILL NEVER BE LIKE HER. YOUR OWN SOFTNESS LASHES YOU TO THE CIRCLE YOU SO DESPISE.
BREAK THE WHEEL, SISTERBROTHER. BUILD YOUR TOWER ANEW FROM ITS SHATTERED RIM. GLORY TO THE NEW FLESH! GLORY TO THE RISING KING!
So I just realized that while I don’t know who Aunt Maya served in the Second Conquering, based on the dialogue with the children she probably was responsible for pacifying their world. Think of it like this. In a wildly huge multiverse why would two children instantly recognize a seemingly incongruous woman? They must be extremely familiar with her, and given Maya’s background that really limits their familiarity to two things; either she buys noodles there a lot (which given that we’ve mainly seen her hanging out in Throne is not terribly likely), or she “conquered” their world although that could’ve been done in such a manner as to not generate the hatred and ire of the populous. Considering the willingness of this particular worlds populous to be subjugated, I’m guessing option two.
It could be that Aunty is an honorific title children are taught to address elders with.
I actually did not assume the children knew her. They just call her “auntie” ( a general greeting). She calls herself auntie Maya.
I don’t think they recognized her. They just come from a culture where you’re taught to respect your elders; I read their interactions with her as the way they’d treat any older woman who they found fallen down like that.
I doubt the children recognize Murder the Gods and Topple Their Thrones. ‘Auntie’ is simply a common form of address towards an older woman, much like ‘Ma’am’.
What makes you think the children recognize her? They refer to her only as ‘Auntie’ which is a pretty common way to refer to a woman you do not know in many parts of our world, much less others.
There definitely seemed to be familiarity within the dialogues of the children to Maya. Then of course the “pursuers” ask her who she is indicating that even more worldly wanderers don’t immediately recognize her. Just my thoughts and observations, although it could just be honorifics as the numerous responders seem to think.
I also noticed that chasing Allison across the Void and into this world has gotten Maya ten Meti back into shape. She is far more toned than when we first saw her in Hell 71. Apparently keeping up with Allison is a work-out and a half!
You didn’t see anything! There was nothing to see! I am leaving for entirely unrelated reasons!
Truly, a most excellent liar.
Truly, truly outrageous.
Does Maya… recognize Juggy from the past? Are we going to see him in the rest of Maya’s backstory, before he became a Thorns?
That angel is a strange thing. I am sure we will yet encounter her on the road which lies ahead.
What an excellent collection of warriors and fools! To see them survive the battle warms…something within me.
Hmmm, I don’t see Layla among the survivors. Maybe she managed to fly away? (Please tell me she managed to fly away)
Legend says she absconded with a priceless tea set while the absconding was good: http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/149131891720/once-you-finish-with-it-could-you-do-a-list-of
I don’t see Layla among the survivors. Did she manage to fly away before landing? (Please tell me she managed to fly away before landing.)
I hear another ship leaving port.
Considering that the wheel doesn’t uave a conventional engine, does that mean the noise is essentially Juggernaut Star making noises with their mouth.
DO NOT MISTAKE THIS FOR MERCY, I’M JUST CHOOSING NOT TO KILL YOU COS I THINK YOU’RE KINDA COOL AND I WOULD FEEL BAD IF YOU DIED
We have seen her flying on a bolt action, so I wouldn’t worry too much about our favorite gunny gal’s health bernardy. I’d be willing to bet that she flew away from the brawl to get a bead on that thorny looking motherfucker long afore she had to worry about angel-fire
It’s incredible how much I love every single character in this comic. I’m so happy to see Giant Baby still around and kicking! He’s a little banged up now but get ’em some Pedialyte and a nice lie-down and it’ll be back to fightin’ form in no time.
A parade of fools? And I wasn’t invited! What insult! What mockery! What…Foolishness!
I APPROVE LOUDLY OF THIS!
I wonder if my ever so dear raven haired maiden survived the ordeal?
If not, this was a glorious way to perish.
looks like team Thorn Knight’s blasting off agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!
Murder The Gods never lowered her weapon. A bluff was called.
way to flounce, juggernaut. love the lettering on this page!
Только что нашел Любимая теща как он там ее чпокнул !! !
Hmm… Well, I think Juggernaut is giving grudging respect to Auntie Maya for slapping him/her down when Juggernaut was throwing a tantrum and tearing up the, um, “lesser beings”.
‘A course Juggernaut is tired. It takes a lot of energy to maintain a right proper furious aspect, even for an unyielding flaming wheel. Shoot, a moment of deep insight brought on by a face slap delivered by a mere human, and no wonder Juggernaut’s aspect waxed feminine.
I can’t tell you how i feel
My heart is like a wheel.
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
– Wings
The parade must go on!
What’s up,I check your new stuff named “Kill Six Billion Demons » Seeker of Thrones 3-22” on a regular basis.Your humoristic style is awesome, keep up the good work! And you can look our website about تحميل اغانى http://www.aghanyna.com/arabic/.
6JS turns out can also alter time and space, as it/she/he/they erased the mention of it’s own face from the panel. Neat.
I hope the gunwitch survived
I’m not gonna lie, while I did have a laugh at the perceived tsundere factor of the original lines in the first panel, I thought they sounded more natural than the new ones.
Oh dialogue change. I wonder what was unsatisfactory about the previous version? Reality is a fluid, after all. Fluctuation is the only constant.
My guess is that Maya actually mentioning the face-slip would have been uncharacteristically foolish, and Juggy would have had to react rather more actively than stalking off — say, by killing all the witnesses.
So these lines are still fine. And probably a bit more presence-laden. I can understand changing the original ones, which may have sounded a bit swingy in mood, but I still liked them.
What “what face”, indeed.
Why the edit?
Wait, am I crazy or did this comic change? I distinctly remember Mathangi making a comment about Juggernaut’s face before, but now she just has the stoic silence. Was this edited, or am I now completely losing my already unstable mind?
The page was indeed edited.
Is it just me or did the dialogue in the first panel change?
Is that a retcon I spy
Wait, did the page just get changed?
She no longer mentions the face
The three rules of the art of swordfighting:
1. Cut
2. Cut
3. Do not get a thorn knight tsundere for you. It never ends well.
They so often turn Yandere. It’s…inconvenient.
*Applause*
As amusing as tsundere-Jugs was, I do think the new dialogue is more bitter and feels more appropriate…But that, of course, is only how I visualize the character, and I can’t speak for everyone in this reality or any other.
Well, except that one. You know the one.
The Dialogue! It Changes!
wait what happened to “your face?” why did it change to “this is not war anymore”???
I feel as though Cio and 82 have been arguing over the dialog in the first panel. Possibly while perched on the artist’s shoulders.
Hmm… someone has changed the dialogue I see. For the better.
Memories return;
an error in recalling?
Royalty cuts time.
Did the page change? I swear that first panel is different from when I first saw it.
“This is not War anymore, and you’re not my adversary.” = “I’m only doing this because I felt like it, you had better be grateful!”
“Enough of this!” = “T-Tch! S-Shut up!”
“Do not mistake this for Mercy.” = “Don’t get the wrong idea b-baka!”
“I leave you to rot in your puerile existence.” = “Don’t misunderstand, it’s not like I like you or anything…”
Yo. Usually I go by a simpler appellation, but I believe the current company requires the use of my full name.
THE TEXT HAS CHANGED
Strange. Was the Dialogue changed in the first panel? It is quite a bit different from what I recall.
The page has changed. Curious. Are my senses unbound or am I truly seeing?
Interesting. This page’s dialogue was changed.
Hey, the page looks slightly different today. I wonder…
Hrrmm….
And lo, what we think we see is uncertain, ‘reality’ being mutable.
I thought I saw something different, and yet there is the reality before me.
Truly, the power of Royalty is great.
I wonder if this parade of fools is capable of amassing enough foolishness to add up to a wisdom.
If wisdom could not be found in fools, the universe would be barren of it.
Ahh, wisdom. Always getting in the way of good sense. -Zariel
Odd that the page was changed.
I wonder what the reason was- second thoughts on how these characters should act…? Auntie seems rather disinclined to mention what she saw, this go around.
Pfft…. The text was changed?
Okay, maybe the tsundere comments were a bit harsh. 😀
Hey, Abbadon you changed the first panel from Maya acknowledging the change in the angel’s face via spoken dialogue (“Your face…”). You also changed the angel’s response at having “her” preferred form seen by a puerile mortal. Are you gaslighting those us who make repeated stops to see the same page? 😉
Someone who names themselves Abbadon couldn’t be evil could they?
The page was changed from before. Before she comments on the angels face and it goes ‘What face’.
The thing that Juggernaut do makes me remember something. Movement. What an interesting feeling it was, to be in motion. But I wasn’t in motion. I was static. I was stationary.
Ummm….did the page change for anyone else? Originally it had Maya mentioning Jug’s face. Eh, YISUN has decided otherwise, who am I to judge?
Yes. It seems like someone has been walking in the ‘Time’ segment of my library and altering things again.
If I catch who it is…. Well, I do have my white-out alwas handy.
It’s too bad that eternally-blase-warrior-lady isn’t in the picture. It would be interesting to know if this merited opening her eyes more than half-way.
And I’m impressed with the Kappa, whose poise is so perfect that he retained at least some of the water in his head despite all this.
A changing text… clearly not to be trusted.
This is the work of Juggy’s minion, 60 Juggernaut Star Scours the Webcomic for Signs of Weakness, Editor for Thorns.
oHOHO, time for some fan fiction about “What face”!
Text change. For why? It’s not April….
We observe the wheel, as we observe the universe it so slightly may resemble. Strange to see the universal icon used in such a warlike way. Perhaps it is the natural state of such things, then, for is the universe not forged by strife? Is it so then that to be broken upon the wheel is to be broken under the weight of the very universe itself?
But perhaps this musing ill suits us. We shall remain Observers, and leave such commentary for others more adequately equipped for the task.
We do note with some relief that poor INGSVLD survives, albeit looking quite destitute.
I wonder, does Maya consider herself one of those fools? Does a part of her reject the pursuit of ROYALTY, only to be drowned out by a thousand other greedier fractions? Or does she continue the hunt in order to better mantle Aesma?
From Abaddon himself on why this has been changed:
“Juggernaut came off as petulant and sulky, which was not my intention – I wanted to show that he’s literally not aware of his face changing. Instead he sounded like a 16 year old, which while hilarious was not really the way I want to write the character.”
In case anyone was curious.
The head snap to the side is a bit odd, now, though. Hum.
All is as it always was.
If reality is a lie, it’s no problem at all to replace it with a different lie…
I like this lie better…
Hmm…not sure if I like this or the previous version better.
For those people who are surprised by the change of dialogue, Abbadon has Twitter account. He sated there the reason of the change. Also on Tumblr in answer to a question
Silly children thinking the mists they saw were actually the truths they perceived.
The sky is falling, purple to red. Huh.
Hmmm… It seems some retcon shenanigans are afoot.
Perhaps for the better?
