Who has your favorite character design in series?

Probably Yuugo for human characters.

(Chapter 53)

Spiritually, a distant relative of Duke Devlin/Ryuji Otogi.

Demon characters are a bit harder with how many cool designs Demizu came up with.

The Grace Field Boss Demon only shows up at the beginning and end of the series (barring S2 teasing me by having him show up during the Cuvitidala Arc), but he's such an imposing figure in that initial appearance when the kids are the most vulnerable that he stands out to me, particularly with the tubing that looks like it's from a gas mask. Gives him a clinical feel.

Yverk has such a grand, regal bearing to him and one of the sickest mask designs.

I wish he got to be at the forefront more, but I can appreciate him as a constant background presence maintaining the status quo for over a millennia.

Bayon Sr. continues the trend of having one of the coolest mask designs, and I like how spindly he looks.

That waist though holy shit

Sonju electing to walk around his entire adult life without a shirt on?

Respect, congratulations Mujika.

Leuvis of any era but Leuvis in his slightly sluttier era?

(Chapter 141)

Amazing. No notes, ty Demizu.

Je me vis entrer par la Porte Sud d’Angkor Thom, la plus célèbre, car il s’agit de la porte qui donne directement accès au temple du Bayon, le centre de la ville royale. Cette porte se caractérise par des balustrades représentant le mythe du barattage de la mer de lait: rangées de divinités (devas) et de démons (asuras) tirant le corps du naga Vasuki. La tour centrale est, elle, coiffée de quatre visages géants (symbole du bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, associé à Jayavarman VII, le roi ayant fait bâtir le temple du Bayon au XIIe siècle).

Cette ville royale représente un seuil cosmique. Cela signifie que passer cette porte, c’est entrer dans une cité sacrée, un microcosme de l’univers, où le roi agit en dharmaraja (roi juste) entre les mondes humains et divins. Or, avec mon palais de la mémoire, je n’aspirais pas à faire autre chose.
