Draculoid said:Not that that sort of thing bothers me but I don't think we have ever had such a young character "flopping around" topless like that lol.
Draculoid said:Awww Isma is adorable! Her Merrow form and attitude while in it is too cute....but curious....how old is she supposed to be again?? Not that that sort of thing bothers me but I don't think we have ever had such a young character "flopping around" topless like that lol.
Draculoid said:I was actually surprised at how Isidro didn't really react to her nudity and only to her tail. Was expecting nosebleeds and awkward faces abound.
Aazealh said:There's also the fact that plain warriors would likely not be very successful against the Sea God unless there were many, many of them. Thing's huge and its "beard" in itself is a huge threat to humans and merrows alike.
Aazealh said:As she leaves, Isma says that as a merrow, she has to fight the Sea God for her island.
Aazealh said:She then tells what happened, mentioning how she pronounced her real name, but Ivalera chastizes her, telling her that elves or spirits have a real name that should never be told to a human. If they tell their real name to somebody, they'll be under his or her control, which is why it should never happen unless they really trust him/her.
Nah, she's saying something about how the merrows are going to battle the Sea God on that page. It's definitely not "Bye guys!"Piscator Solitarius said:Do you think this is the last time Guts’ crew will see Isma? It looks like she’s waving bye to them so I get the feeling this is the last time they’ll see her, but I’d hate for her to depart so… abruptly...
Yeah... such strange injuries, too. My first thought was that he's being affected by water pressure like someone who's deep underwater without proper equipment. Severe barotrauma maybe... among other things obviously. Like being bitten into by massive undersea monsters. Regardless, Guts is in a tough spot, to be sure. I just hope we see a little more of his situation in this ep than what the preview shows us. He's sort of been in a holding pattern with that heart for two episodes now.Rhombaad said:Damn, Guts is hurting something terrible.
Piscator Solitarius said:Do you think this is the last time Guts’ crew will see Isma? It looks like she’s waving bye to them so I get the feeling this is the last time they’ll see her, but I’d hate for her to depart so… abruptly... considering all they’ve been through together.
Piscator Solitarius said:And Magnifico’s face while he’s eavesdropping is priceless.
Piscator Solitarius said:On a semi-unrelated (and probably unimportant) note, I wonder if all Merrows are female. The two times we’ve seen them so far (when Isma is telling the story of the Sea God’s imprisonment and now), there have only been females swimming in the ocean.
Walter said:I wonder why Iva appears to be scolding her earlier in the ep...
Aazealh said:Looks like Guts really isn't doing well. Like I thought, the environment he's in is taking a huge toll on his body. Meanwhile Isma says that things are happening exactly like her father said (all the merrows arriving). She then tells what happened, mentioning how she pronounced her real name, but Ivalera chastizes her, telling her that elves or spirits have a real name that should never be told to a human. If they tell their real name to somebody, they'll be under his or her control, which is why it should never happen unless they really trust him/her. Notice how Magnifico tries to discretely hear Isma's name.
Aazealh said:Nah. See what I said about it yesterday (reposting it below). Enjoy what we're seeing of her as much as you can, though.
Aazealh said:Same as the above, his listening isn't innocent!
Piscator Solitarius said:Ah ok, thank you for the clarification. I was just curious if the atmosphere is one of “I’m going to go kill the Sea God, I’ll be right back” or “I’m going to go kill the Sea God, thanks for the memories and have a great life.”
Piscator Solitarius said:Wow, I really misread Magnifico’s intent in that scene. I figured he was being more mischievous or comical than sinister. I apologize for my mistake.
Piscator Solitarius said:And I apologize for the legion of questions. I hope I’m not being too annoying. I’m just very excited to see what happens next.
Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:Aww shit!The god's heart gave Guts the evil eye.
Walter said:I'm no expert of soundwaves, and air/water pressure, but I'm pretty sure Guts' injuries are related to the sound of the heartbeat that Guts mentioned earlier. On pages 14-15 the sound effect of a loud heartbeat is timed to the effect of that wave hitting Guts, then causing his injuries.
Griffith said:I love pages 14 and 15, that's what it would look like if Gutsfought the Idea of Evil.
Draculoid said:Guts looks like he's in rough shape, I mean he can't really move to slice it if all it has to do is look at him and concentrate or whatever to make him keel over like that. I would say the arm cannon is his best bet since it doesn't require much movement towards the heart. I think I've missed some of the more recent conversations about what conditions he's fighting under atmosphere wise, is firing the arm cannon feasible right now?
Walter said:I'm no expert of soundwaves, and air/water pressure, but I'm pretty sure Guts' injuries are related to the sound of the heartbeat that Guts mentioned earlier.
Walter said:Also on page 16, there are seriously a LOT of merrows in the water!
Gobolatula said:Is the force of the heart beating actually knocking him back a little?
