Seriously, people. Sometimes I wonder if some of you are reading the same manga as me. I get that you might not remember everything that happens in the manga, but if you don’t, please don’t make statements of what could or could not happen in the series.
I’ve received several asks, messages… and I’ve seen it in wikia and other blogs as well, that Dorjiberke couldn’t be alive because his head got blown up.
Ok, I’m gonna explain why this isn’t true and why he is still alive (confirmed in the full raws), using pictures of chapter 127, the last one he’s in.
We have this:
“See? his head is exploding!” some of you might say... Well, it’s not. This is a visual resource to show how painful and disgusting is for him . Butyl mercaptane is an irritant and very damaging to mucous, but it doesn’t make your head explode. I’ve been working with chemicals similar to this one in laboratory, and what you feel when inhaling some of them (particullarly some acids) is very similar to what is shown in this picture. Yeah, it sucks.
Butyl mercaptane might cause permanent health effects, but in very high concentrations and prolonged exposure. And of course, none of those effect include blowing up heads, but things such as blindness or affecting the thyroid.
Of course, you don’t need to know any of this to understand what is happening. I’m just giving extra information because it might be useful to get a better idea of all this.
Just after that picture, in the next page, we have Dorjiberke like this.
He is perfectly fine. Freaking out, but fine. His eyes are ok, his mouth his ok, his head is sound and safe. “But after this Eva blowed him up!” you may say. Ok, let’s take a look at that as well.
Look at his body. He is getting burnt, not exploding. Butyl mercaptane is flammable and volatile. I’ve seen many times people confusing volatile with explosive, but they are very different things. That something is volatile means that it has a great tendency to vaporize, that’s it, to go from liquid phase to vapour phase. What we see there is that a great part of the butyl mercaptane Yaeko released is already in its vapour phase in the air around them. As it’s flammable it burns and that’s why fire is surrounding him. It’s not an explosion, just vaporized butyl mercaptane burning.
Finally, we get this last picture of him.
Dorjiberke is falling off the vehicle, just as Jet did a while before. His head is fine and his body is fine. He wasn’t under the fire long enough to get serious injuries because of it. I don’t know if you’ve burnt yourself with fire anytime but getting serious damage it’s more difficult than you might believe.
Think about it. I’m sure a lot of you have used matches or lighters before. probably some of you have burned yourself with them but, did you really get serious injuries? Blisters are the more common injuries we get, and unless they infect, is preferably to have them because they are a defense mechanism. And of course, blisters won’t kill you.
I’m doing this to show that Dorjiberke being alive is not a bad development. It makes sense and it’s coherent with the plot. You know that when I do not agree with how something in the series is being done I’m the first one to say it. But when something is well done, it also needs to be said.
I’m not even a great fan of Dorjiberke, but it makes me happy that he and Jet are alive and getting some “screen time”. I wanted to know more about them back then, and maybe now we’ll hape the change to learn more about the both of them, as well as Hong, Xi and Liu himself.
