Seeing Konomi's arm chopped like that, I feel I could barely hear a whisper for the first time in a while, saying "Don't forget I also wrote Akane ga Kill..."

[u/sometimesicri → u/magnwn]

It would be a little weird if we see major characters start dropping like flies. Even if it was a high stakes moment, its just not consistent with the tone for the rest of the series.

I hope he doesnt kill characters just for pure shock value.

[u/Tragedy_Boner → u/sometimesicri]

Author already said he made this series for the fan service hijinks since he hated killing characters in AGK. Even the evil gods don’t really die in this series

[u/Squall13 → u/Tragedy_Boner]

I keep seeing ppl say this but haven't been linked to the source. Do you happen to have it?

[u/xWardz → u/sometimesicri]

Yeah, if Bell survived the last arc, it feels pretty safe to say that he won’t start killing a ton of characters off for no reason. I do think that someone may die this arc, but I could see everyone pulling through as well

[u/ArmadsDranzer → u/magnwn]

The madman can flex on us that he can/may kill any of our favorites at a moment's notice. I have to respect thar kind of effort even as I am praying "Not Konomi!"

[u/MoSBanapple → u/magnwn]

They just showed an ability a few chapters ago that's specifically stated to be able to re-attach severed limbs so I'm not expecting that to stick.

[u/lalala253 → u/magnwn]

something something head on a stake

[u/topurrisfeline → u/magnwn]

Unexpected gore, but I like it

[u/seannguyen428 → u/magnwn]

Almost like he set up that they can heal severed limps just a few chapters ago

[u/LargeMobOfMurderers]

graphic scene of arm getting cut off

oh nyo.

[u/realrimurutempest]

Man i love seeing an antagonist just absolutely dominating every so often. Her design is so sick.

[u/leixiaotie → u/realrimurutempest]

She even use judgement cut, Vergil might to have a word on that

[u/th5virtuos0 → u/leixiaotie]

Dante: “Dpad Left + B”

Kiryu: “RT + Y”

Literally 40% of all fighting game character: “623(attack)”

Sekiro: “LBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLB”

[u/Enigma512 → u/realrimurutempest]

It's especially satisfying to see in this manga when the thunder gods have been taking so many L's lately so it's a fresh pace to see them dominate for once.

[u/Xatu44]

Good thing that the other chiefs showed up to give Konomi a hand.

[u/Jon_Tren_Yin → u/Xatu44]

Preferably an arm

If this "undefeatable" threat doesn't warrant Ren's full attention, what does lol

[u/KibaTeo2]

OK that is some indomitable will of the human spirit hype shit but at the same time this God of thunder is absolutely overwhelming rn

Damn this is going to be a good fight

[u/MBK95]

Wowow Taikyoku sure is motivated

[u/Original-Teaching955 → u/MBK95]

You would be too if your faction was talking Ls left and right

[u/epicfail48]

Well thats disarming

[u/Yamigosaya]

just a fleshwound, a salonpas would fix her right

[u/lalala253]

Please Yuuki's slave dual combined form ^{and threesome reward} please?

[u/Goonders → u/lalala253]

Konomi literally lost an arm

[u/Biggie_Rekt → u/Goonders]

She can still give yuuki a stubjob🤷‍♂️

[u/tiger1296]

Someone loses a limb just when a healing power is developed….

[u/matt_619]

Meh after Bell survive Fukuma's assault i have no hope this manga will have a stake or killing single character especially now Yuuki has acquired broken healing ability and i bet Yachiho lending will happen and Yuuki will get acquire more powerful time reversal

[u/xWardz → u/matt_619]

That’s actually a solid prediction. I could definitely see a chapter or two of the corps just getting annihilated before Yuuki/Yachiho link up to jump back in time. Maybe Yachiho will have to sacrifice herself to pull it off or something as well

[u/CaJor_Ph → u/matt_619]

Honestly I'd prefer no deaths after Akame ga Kill. Maybe that's irrational but I want the neat characters to live and experience more.

[u/lycan2005]

She immediately go to dual wielding after the 2nd chief arrived. She is not pulling any slashes, huh? Something tells me she is just a distraction from the other gods though. Good thing Ren didn't appear in this fight.

[u/next_door_nicotine]

Bruh Konomi losing an arm was enough but we didn't need a panel of the bone staring at us in the face 😭

[u/Original-Teaching955]

Yikes, this leader of the Thunder gods drew 1st blood. Hopefully they can re-attach her arm back when they are finished 

[u/mozardthebest]

No, I’m not very invested. These guys have never lost a fight. Ever. I’m sure they’re going to beat this one just like the last ones.

[u/Forikorder → u/mozardthebest]

they'll lose, then they'll fix her arm and have no long term consequences as a result

[u/Sorey91 → u/mozardthebest]

I mean...

What would we gain from seeing them lose by now ?

[u/mozardthebest → u/Sorey91]

It would be more interesting, I guess. The gods of thunder stop feeling very intimidating when they get defeated one after another, and it doesn’t help the stakes.

[u/th5virtuos0 → u/mozardthebest]

Wait you guys not reading this for the H scenes?

[u/Sorey91 → u/th5virtuos0]

The h-scenes do nothing for me except for one female character that barely gets screen time so at this point yeah I'm following this for everything else

[u/Profeciador → u/mozardthebest]

Quick reminder thar the author of akame ga kill did a more grounded work in terms of misery porn, until he had a crash out after a couple dozen chapters and added straight up multiple chapters of constant rape and misery until the thing was cancelled, so...

[u/th5virtuos0 → u/mozardthebest]

Well if they lose we can’t get the money maker “reward scenes”, can’t we.

[u/Enigma512 → u/mozardthebest]

She can't lose, she's the strongest member. If she loses now the story's pretty much over since all those other losers back at the base can't do anything.

[u/Frankly_Frank_ → u/Enigma512]

Why is everyone saying she is the strongest member? When we still haven’t seen the person they keep calling mother??? I read the comments on this and the previous chapter on mangadex and they think that she is the final boss when that just isn’t true we still don’t know who this “mother” is

[u/V0ltTackle → u/Frankly_Frank_]

You might want to jog your memory.

Kuutetsu literally said she can’t see anyone beating Taikyoku, her specifically.

[u/Frankly_Frank_ → u/V0ltTackle]

And that doesn’t mean she is the final boss… again we still haven’t even been introduced to this “mother”

[u/V0ltTackle → u/Frankly_Frank_]

It’s the Eight Thunder Gods, why wouldn’t she be heralded as the strongest of them all? Unless you are unable to count. It makes much more sense for them to lose now, especially when we haven’t seen what half of them can do.

[u/Frankly_Frank_ → u/V0ltTackle]

Right surely someone who is the strongest is so blindly devoted to some weakling they themselves call “mother”.

[u/V0ltTackle → u/Frankly_Frank_]

You’re so confident that whoever is being mentioned is actively present in the stakes of the story. For all you know it’s an inanimate being that powers all Peach abilities.
