I came to this conclusion a few weeks ago, but one for the understated things about vol15, 17, and 19 is how they're also about resolving the past of Eris, Sylphie, and Roxy respectively. Like the chapter at the end of this volume where Sylhpie decides to stay at home is interesting, because it's her making a choice about her life now that her big qwust for Ariel is done.

I never actually thought about it that way but you're absolutely right, just another layer to peak fiction

46:39 Badigadi wasn't Fighting God - his armor was. Badi is just perfect wessel for the armor since he is immortal and already very powerfull. But even when he wear armor he is not fighting god. Armor has its own consciousness and only when it takes over the body of the wearer it becomes Fighting God. Badi doesn't let that happen due to his pride but he let fighting god take over him just once - during a fight with Laplace where Laplace defeated him and Hitogami convinced Badigadi to let the armor do the fighting. But it was only then.

Good point, I actually reread some stuff on the fighting god armor myself and it's a lot more complex than I remember

[@DreavyHinker]

You're so real for that

The only thing in this novel I don't like is the extra chapter. It kind of ruins the Geese apostle reveal in my opinion.

[@Banaaniapina692]

Same

[@theratnest]

It was really interesting, but yeah I'm honestly in the same boat
