Seeing as how Maya is teaching Allison how to overcome Jagganoth, I wonder if Maya must beat Allison until she can no longer remember her mother? That would suk, bigtime.
The original Drunken Boxing style is said to have originated from a Hung Gar practitioner who was an alcoholic. (I forget the exact story but pretty much comes across like Jet Li’s fearless.) Despite his inebriation he continued to practice and eventually started to incorporate his drukenness into his technique filling his Dan Tian with Wine rather than Chi.
Half wonder if Maya has incorporated her drunkenness into her sword art. Oddly enough I *have* heard of drunken boxing sword sets.

Humorous, yet…not wrong. Pain is what we all have in kindness. If we are ever to be just to each other, it will likely be pain that all sentience has in common. And in understanding it, and knowing it, can we seek to relieve it from ourselves and others. Pain is the great unifier.
ok i have been silently following along with each update and internally going “hell yes…” whenever i see one, but THIS page has made me wanna say “HELL YES” out loud because HELL FUCKIN YES!!!
Training begins.
1. show student all a sword is good for. Cut their hair.
2. Teach student to observe their opponent at all times. Be ready.
3. Teach student to continue through pain.
4. Relate Wisdom from Book of Meti in situation where student will always remember.
5. repeat for each page.
6. Maybe then let student touch a sword.
Ok so I was distracted by PEAK PERFORMANCE MAYA to start, but I GET IT!
‘You have to stop me from hitting you if you don’t want to be hit’
This lesson is not cruel, or simply, or indulgent. It is a direct response to her previous observation, last week, that “how do I kill someone that can’t be killed” was the wrong question.
You stop Jagganoth from being unkillable, if you want to kill him.
You stop allowing other agents to shape you by their will.
Observant Friends, Maya isn’t teaching combat.
Maya is teaching ROYALTY
Part of me wonders what would have happened if Maya had taken Allison as a student sooner. But the other part of me knows that Maya knew Allision wasn’t ready.
She should really consider getting a new leg at some point.

Daoist Drunken Boxing does indeed incorporate swordplay into it.
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mama Maya comes to me;

That is absolutely fucking brilliant. Play on, oh muse.
She is grace

[offers popcorn to everyone]
pain was humanities first teacher
Only barely related to your comment, but I misread that as “Pain was the first Humanities teacher” and had a brief chuckle.

I will miss her glorious cloud of hair but man, she really does not mess around.
Where will she keep her hair clip now? – which was in the shape of Zoss’ symbol btw.
Alice will either master violence, or die
awesome.
At least she now knows how her bald head looks like, One can’t really say that they know themselves if they haven’t seen themselves bald.

DODGE!
I know Maya’s based on Uncle Iroh, but right now she’s giving out massive Toph vibes.
Bald? check. Old? check. Super muscular? Double check. Whoo boy Allison is in for a painful anime power up.

Use your lightning powers Allison! Burn that bitch!

Marius is observant
Jagganoth is unkillable.
“Who decided that?”
YEAH
The lessons Allison really needs <3
Bagawd! That woman had a family!
Oh no, Alison’s the one-legged woman in an ass-kicking contest.
Talk or Fight.
Pick one.
It seems like Maya has picked Drink, instead! making her own option
Drink and fight simultaneously.
Does this remind anyone else of Ichigo training with Urahara? like “hey you got power but what you need is battle practice.”
Part of me wonders what would have happened if Maya had taken Allison as a student sooner. But the other part of me knows that Maya knew Allision wasn’t ready.
And she thought training with an angel was unpleasant.
Now she gets to train with a lady that sliced an angel in half with a hairpin.
