It's been so long since we've seen the Tapasa in action!
Where are the other two?
Proj2501 said:I recently read the series all over again and have noticed several things I didn't catch years ago. One being, we never saw how the very first fight between Rakshas and the Tapasa ended. They obviously fled and I assume they did so because the odds were stacked way against them and not solely because of Rakshas alone.
Proj2501 said:At the time, they were just introduced, so I suppose Miura didn't deem it necessary to show they safely made it out.
Walter said:Anyway, I haven't bothered to do so, but if you're interested you could probably compare the signs on their foreheads with their various appearances to confirm whether they survived that encounter.
Proj2501 said:Haha. Jesus. You're totally right. I completely forgot about the markings. And, I don't have the books on hand, I was referring to the fight where Zodd, Grunberd, Rakshas and Locus all meet for the first time and pledge loyalty to Griffith. Were they introduced earlier?! No, right?

Proj2501 said:I completely forgot about the markings.
jackson_hurley said:We briefly saw them when Guts just mowed down a kushan scoot. You know with Isidro hiding behind the barrel. The Silat comments on him and how they could take him down but probably with some loss on their side. Vaguely something like that. (volume 18 as mentionned a bit upper then me)
Oburi said:From the bottom of that page, I imagine the Tapasa must be quite gruesome to look at up close in fine detail, even for Rickert. I mean, it's just super ripped tendons and muscles exposed all over the body right?
Hmm, I think a Tapasa will pick up Rickert and they'll run for it. Sticking around to check if the monster's dead doesn't usually work out too well, at least from what I've seen in horror movies. (Actually, I believe a similar scenario was mentioned by someone else in the thread about episode 338 and it seems pretty likely to me.)jackson_hurley said:Tapasa going to check on a "flattened" Rakshas just to see him emerge in his apostle form?
LOL, Maybe the Tapasa are what Luka and the other girls are reacting to from that preview where they're looking shocked.Oburi said:From the bottom of that page, I imagine the Tapasa must be quite gruesome to look at up close in fine detail, even for Rickert.

Cool! I hope so. It would be nice to learn some more about him.Aazealh said:Episode title is "The capital city under the moonlight".
I wonder what potential effects the full moon might have on the city and its surroundings, given its magic-enhancing properties. And... could it be we'll get to see the boy? This episode's title is constructed just like that of episode 238.
JMP said:Also, would this be the correct magazine to get for this newest episode? http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-1846509
Proj2501 said:Excuse the damn dirty scans. Trying to keep track of which Tapasa we've seen.
