Alison’s crazed grin bears a strong resemblance to that one iconic panel of Guts from Berserk (especially with the missing eye), and I’m more and more suspecting that it’s intentional.
I was gonna say which one, as there are a few times when he does that grin, but yeah, if you check back to the mouseover text in the Jagganoth fight after Gog gets serious you’ll see more evidence it is.
I don’t know enough manga and anime to catch the one you’re seeing, but I’ve noticed other ones referencing renaissance art, and others referencing traditional Hindu and Buddhist religious art.
A few pages back, that statue of Aesma was totally in reference to some Kali dancing statues I’ve seen.
And the page where Allison was doing her training montage with White Chain and beating up the gang and ran into the tall gangly devil and White Chain came down to help…that had White Chain striking the devil with the bare soles of her feet, which is super symbolic, both in western and eastern art.
White Chain in general has a lot of call-outs to famous historical art of angels, so I’m not at all surprised that Allison has similar homages with anime and manga.
I remember back in the early Allison scenes with Incubus, there were homages to Labyrinth/David Bowie, Xena Warrior Princess, and Sailor Moon.
If you would fight in defense of life, you must first embrace what you seek to defend. Eat, drink, be merry, know with all your heart (and stomach, and liver) all the joys you wish to preserve for the future.
Because Allison has decided to live in the moment. She has realized that she will die in roughly thirty-five years, and that she may not be very smart.
satisfactory answer ty. frankly I have been caring less and less about the comic since maggot lady walked away at the end of the last arc, it felt so pointless/frustrating a way for them to fail? I just need to get back into it/it to get back into the swing of things.
Ah yes, as with any good learning relationship the student has become the teacher, White Chain taught Allison martial arts and self control and now Allison teaches White Chain the arts of getting totally shitfaced and making many poor decisions.
Allison better cut down on the coffin nails. She might survive 35 years from now, but nobody said how healthy she’s going to be going forward. She might be coughing up her lungs for 30 years straight with all those cigarettes.
You know you will die at 65 years old age, so you can do whatever you want cause you can’t get killed and you don’t need to wage slave for retirement, right?
If lets say Allisson would go in front of running train would the train stop to not kill her now?
Just made me laugh out loud. Thanks. And yeah, just love it when the authors give their characters a chance to just stay together and have some fun. So warming.

Drunken revels are not illegal on Throne (practically mandatory), but public disorder probably is. Drop-kicking stuff into low orbit enough to trigger angelic intervention? I want to see them dragged before 2 Michael so that Allison can head-butt him.
I desperately hope that stone noggin shows up later, either embedded in a wall or landing on some poor Denizen’s dome as the girls walk past, whichever the plot deems is funnier.

There’s tons of art homages in the comic.

So, if Angels are metaphorical Wheels, White Chain got non-metaphorically SMASHED.
Title promise fulfilled, we can end the story soon.
The good ending
I never expected to see those two Lords get absolutely Wheel-Smashed. Remember, kids: Don’t Drink and Demiurge!
Or do. Lots of fun, evidently!

Was that the Leisure Kicks technique she was using in the last panel?
Interesting thought. I’m not sure, but I think it’d be awesome if it was.
I miss Delicious.
Empty Palms, I believe, just intentionally done wrong in the improvised form of Empty Feet.

God, I love this so much. It turns out true Royalty was having fun with your friends all along.

It is all fun and games until somebody three districts away gets brained by a flying statue head travelling at around the speed of drunk.
Wait a second, if no angel has ever gotten drunk before…. do you think Whitechain knows about hangovers?
Alos Cio would have loved this. I hope they can put her mask back together, again.
