With Kamala swiftly establishing her dominance over the Crazy Bunch, Arc 3 Chapter 1 draws to a close. Hopefully I’ll soon be able to let you guys know when Chapter 2 is coming!

Some fairly dark stuff in the next couple of pages, so they’re under the cut;

So that’s Gardner’s semblance - this means that 6 out of 7 Braiths’ semblances have been seen. Unfortunately, Akane (and very much Shishikiri) are out for the count.

Team RAIN are knuckling down and getting deep into the action - one member of RAIN for each Braith! And finally, some much needed Akane spotlight.

Three’s a crowd, and three Braiths can only mean a hellish amount of trouble.

Very proud with how some of these pages turned out... and the finale of Arc 2 starts here. It’s been a long time coming and there’s a lot to do. I’m scared.

Gardner Braith’s Semblance

Gardner alludes to the deadly sin of Gluttony, and the most recent post should make it more apparent why.

Gardner isn’t a glutton for food, he’s a glutton for aura. He usually keeps his cool, but aggravating him makes him flip out and use his semblance, which is known as “Siphon.”

Through skin contact, Gardner can drain someone else’s aura and add it to his own. A side affect of absorbing an extension of someone’s soul and personality allows him to read their emotions, too, as well as things they’ve tried to repress.

This said, the effect is so powerful that he tends to do damage to his own body in the transaction - we saw him tear his cheeks open because he opened his mouth so wide, for example. The surplus of aura will usually heal any damage, but some things remain (such as the scarring on the left side of his face).

As well as this, Gardner has a tendency to simply mill around, bathing in the taste of someone’s aura, but this doesn’t mean he is vulnerable. Getting too close will make him retaliate, but if he is left alone he won’t actively pursue an enemy until he’s... digested the situation a little.
