we finally get to see his performance of god of death
i love how much it is not what we expected
i really like that we’re fully seeing how stories can be told differently again, we’ve seen this before but now instead of using her skills and shortcomings to make the story work in an unexpected way akane has to figure out her entire approach to god of death
and we still have two performances left from him
He’s just going straight for the kill now ff
“I can’t stand this anymore.”
The crowd turned to the direction of the voice and Xie Lian too lifted his head. The one who spoke was actually the buff street performer.
He scolded, “Are you honestly doing everything this monster tells you to do? From what I see, he’s just babbling nonsense. Even if it was true, just because he can’t die doesn’t mean that this isn’t murder!”
The bystanders around him advised him, “Buddy, wake up, everyone here is about to die!”
The street performer defended, “Aren’t I here too? Wouldn’t I die too? But did I do anything?”
[...]
The street performer pointed at the couple that were the first ones to go up and said, “It’s true that I don’t have a wife and son, but if I had, even if I had to die, I would never let my son see me resort to using those methods, let alone to guide him hand-in-hand in doing it. If your child grows up to be a criminal, it’s the parents who are to be blamed. If you’re that eager, why not let your child take a stab at you?”
The wife had a full face of misery. “Don’t curse my son! If you want to curse, curse at me instead!”
The husband was furious. “Have you lost your mind? You want my son to kill his own mother and father? How immoral!!”
The street performer probably didn’t understand what the word meant, and retorted, “Killing is still killing! At least it can be called courage if you let your son kill you. Speaking of which, why don’t you guys go for the strange creature in the mask?”
A voice came from behind. “If you don’t come to my side, then you will never win against me, and you will always be defeated by me.”
Xie Lian panted and said darkly, “...Come at me anytime!”
After a pause, he slowly enunciated each word, “It’s only right now that I can’t win. You can defeat me countless times, but you can’t kill me. As long as you can’t kill me, one day, I will surely defeat you!”
When that ghost fire heard his words, it blazed even more ferociously, like it was going to brighten the entire night sky.
A sudden inexplicable anger filled Xie Lian. In the past, if he shouted, what little minions would dare continue their harassment? They would’ve disappeared in a flash with tails between their legs. Now, not only did people step all over him as they willed, even this tiny little ball of ghost fire wouldn’t obey him, taking his threat for nothing.
Xie Lian’s eyes reddened from anger and he mumbled, “...Even a little ghost like you is like this…you’re all like this…everyone’s like this!”
It was a little funny to be so enraged by such a small thing, yet at this moment, Xie Lian was genuinely filled with furious resentment. Unexpectedly, after he mumbled those words, that ball of ghost fire seemed to have understood that he was both angry and sad, and it stopped in mid-air, no longer moving forward. Leading those hundreds of little ghost fires, they backed away slowly. Not long after, they disappeared completely into the night.
OH GOD IM AT THE TEMPLE SCENE
Ch189 (p4), Falling back to life
Notice the extreme use of light and shadow here. Sebastian steps into the light and casts a strong shadow. That light represents death, and Sebastian is blocking him from walking towards it.
Sebastian pops up to tell Baldo he cannot cook even the fried eggs he's promised to his family, and that he will require more training.
His wheat field "world" starts to crumble, as ghostly figures of Ada, Lau, Conny, and Nicholas try to pull him into the darkness... also keeping him from walking into the light. That abyss symbolizes a return to the living, so hopefully he will wake up next chapter.
And... yeah.
Lucas wants to join Hinawa (though it would mean in death), and he jumps, trying to land on her cloud, but he's alive and not meant to join her yet. It's not his time. So, he falls, following Boney.
Ch190 will hopefully have the Kuroshitsuji version of this (being discovered by Wess and Alec)...
...which is probably waking up in the operating theater of Athena Sanatorium, with Ada, Lau, Conny, and Nicholas standing over him.
Ch189 (p3), Disbelief
Again, we have Baldo in this wheat field, and his son shows up. Then Joanna shows up. Joanna is in disbelief that Baldo is cooking for some nobleman, but she's happy he's got a job.
But then someone else approaches. Sebastian is a nearly constant parallel to Boney, and Baldo is filling in for our earl right now, so here we go!
Soon after this image, Boney runs off and we don't see him again until he's landing below the cliff. He seems to realize Hinawa is just a ghost, and that he and Lucas don't belong there, so he runs away. But Lucas wants to be with Hinawa so badly that he stays, following her around.
