Title: Elfhelm
Mangetsu said:Wow! so Danan actually transformed into an elf ? Totally did not expect that. Seeing all those creatures reminds me a lot of the Fantasia episode... Can't wait to see more!
hearTes said:2nd page, 1st panel, Are those elves? they look rather big.
Aazealh said:But really, I think the big deal here is whether or not Danan is the Queen of the Flower Storm. And to be clear, I don't mean the wife of the King, I mean she's the King. He's a she (which is possible thanks to the Japanese language's general disregard for gender). In episode 345, both Ged and Puck tell Guts there's no need to hurry and so on, and it'd make sense if that was because the one he sought was already there...
Walter said:It could very well be. But perhaps it's all the years of considering a king that has me feeling reluctant about that idea right now. There's certainly some implied significance to that big shot of her. Likely the last page.

Fear not! Puck may not be able to get the throne through conventional means, but he still has Betchi. With a proper sacrifice of enough cheese, he will surely be given a body that will allow him to achieve his dream to rule Elfhelm as king!Wenliinvictus said:I wish Pucks Elfhelm conquest arc was more fleshed out, I wasn't expecting him to be taken out by Elf guards before he could confront the Elf King.
If I would hazard a guess (emphasis on guess), whatever Danan's position in Elfhelm is (if she's not the King, it's likely a high-ranking one), she wanted to see the island's new guests for herself before meeting them proper. So she posed as a servant for the gurus, which would allow her to observe Guts and company quietly while their attention was diverted away from her. After all, nobody really pays heed to a servant, and it always worth a good laugh when they realize who you were all along . We'll see on Friday. Or...sooner, depending on when/if leaks show up.Wenliinvictus said:I don't see any reason why in a societey where elves and witches co exist peacefully that an elf needs to disguise itself as a human, maybe there's an interesting reason for this.
DANGERDOOOOM said:Looks like Skellig isn't just an island with elves, but shares a host of satyrs, centaurs and possibly other mythological creatures as well. Not a surprise, but interesting.

DANGERDOOOOM said:I have my doubts that Danan is the King. Only because of one part in episode 345, either page 4 or 5 (online scans might have different page counts) Danan greets Puck, welcoming him back from his long return off island. Pucks response is pretty much just, "Yep".
If she was the King, I would think Puck's response to her would have a lot more weight and schock to it.
Unless he's unfamiliar of Danan being able to transform.

ApostleBob said:Looks like Miura might be throwing us a Yoda curve ball from Empire Strikes Back. 'Oh sure, I'll take you to Yoda, just have dinner with me first while I see what type of person you are.' It's not suprising, considering Miura's admiration for Star Wars.

where are the dwarves though i need to see them now, i wonder if they'll look like the one he drew for chika's manga.
Aazealh said:No, he says a traditional Japanese sentence for when you get home.
