rakiel waking up and bolting upright and slamming his forehead to damian's by accident while doing it is absolutely hilarious as it is,,, but then damian getting all grouchy about it is truly the cherry on top. 'did you do it on purpose?' babe, first of all he was literally unconscious for five days i promise you his first thought upon waking up isn't to be mean to you. and second it was you who was hovering right over his face close enough for his head to slam to yours when he tried to get up. what were you doing there sir 🤨?

"I want to eat hot dogs cut to look like octopuses too... I wonder what the people of the past used that giant telescope to- I want to eat hot dogs!" - Oda's comment from One Piece Color Walk 2

It looks like the straw hats are exploring an abandoned jungle civilization, so Sanji must have been the person who cut the hot dog to look like an octopus for Usopp. Adorable.

Most of the early spreads have white skies, but this one is very noticeable since there's no clouds to distract from the white void. Maybe there's no clouds because it's perfectly sunny.

I wrote a short retelling of the ending spoilers for a discord server I'm in. And. Oh☹️ they changed how it was portraited. Of course they would☹️

They already changed how Lloyd would view his death– which, by the way, was seriously more tragic when he could FEEL himself die– to it just him being an outsider that can't feel or interact with anything

Novel Javier was holding back tears, trying to comfort Lloyd by telling him to Cheer Up, the doctor will be here soon, he even gave his heart a massage using mana vs Webtoon Javier with tears and sweat rolling down his face trying desperately to prolong Lloyd's life with a mana transfer

Idk the novel scene genuinely made me sad meanwhile the webtoon just made me go 0-0 ohh that cant be good. but. thats it

Like. Just.

Novel Lloyd who arrived at his own conclusion after Javier told him that the hole they dug to throw away all the excreements from the refugees was full even though it wasn't too long ago that they dug it out

vs

Webtoon Lloyd that was literally told to 'Remember Vienna'

Novel Lloyd, who, even in his deathbed, was still trying to comfort Javier by squeezing the hand that was holding him with all the strength he got left vs "Javier... That's enough... It's no use... and you know it... Live on... and burn them..." then promptly passes away

"Cheer up a little. Please. Lloyd-nim. Just hang in there. The doctor will be here soon." vs "You are... the protector of my second home... and a hero to the thousands of refugees you saved. That... is what the world will know you as."

Like. I don't know why this actually irritates me☹️

not only did they completely changed the way lloyd experiences the ending spoilers but y'know what infuriates me the most about this particular spoiler? the way they had lloyd see a good chunk of time after he's already dead. like!! no!!!! one of the most impactful things about the ending spoilers is how fast and abrupt and brutal they are!!

later on lloyd has to carefully time his death to make sure his past self gets to hear and see all the he needs! he can't make it too long lest his word not be included in the spoiler! because the spoilers always end the moment he dies and not a moment later! he gets to experience excruciating death and then the abrupt shock of being thrown back to his own time!

in the webtoon not only does he not get to feel himself die with every spoiler, in episode 70 he even gets to see javier prep his body and burn it along with everyone else's. like. that would've been an insane amount of time compared to the few minutes at best he gets in the novel!

and it's such a cheat to have lloyd leave himself a message at this point of the story! that isn't supposed to happen until the fourth spoiler! you see the progression of lloyd slowly learning to leave more and more clues at the time of his death to the point where by the fifth spoiler he's just outright talking to himself. not like the webtoon that has him leave a message already by the second spoiler :P

and like not to repeat back at you everything but. god. the way they completely changed javier's words,,,, like. not even close to what they were supposed to be...

"You can't... You can't leave me so soon." Javier's voice dripped with sadness and anxiety. Lloyd felt his hand being grabbed. Javier was trembling. This guy. Is he sad because I'm about to die? Lloyd guessed that his teasing friendship with Javier lasted as they grew old together. "Just hold on a little more. Please.” Javier spoke, almost pleading.

the 'you can't leave me so soon' of it all,,,,, why would they completely erase that,,,,,

novel javier is just... softer? the whole scene? instead of the frantic desperation we see in the webtoon, in the novel he's just,,, begging lloyd to hold on just a little longer, just wait for the doctor to arrive, almost keeping lloyd's heart beating himself

Lloyd suddenly felt Javier's grip tighten. At the same time, warm and clean energy flowed into his body. It was mana. Emergency treatment? Lloyd was right about it. Javier was sending his mana to Lloyd, and it traveled from his hand through the elbow to reach his chest, expanding its range at every beat and driving away the murky energy in his system. At the same time, it continuously pressed on his heart. Lloyd realized what Javier was doing. He's massaging my heart. It appeared as though this future Lloyd would draw his last breath anytime soon. Javier was striving hard to extend his life at all costs. Lloyd's heart ached as he noticed how desperate Javier was. "Master Lloyd. Please bear a little more. The physician will be here soon."

it's a different tone, a different kind of desperation if that makes sense

i also really like this chapter's illustration which is not what we get in the webtoon lol

i won't put a screenshot of javier in this episode to compared them cause i'm not that bitchy but. c'mon.

having said all that. i kinda can't bring myself to completely dislike the webtoon's version aklshdjksfds

like. they kinda did go off with javier almost exploding his own heart to give his mana to lloyd,,, and then that panel of his hands clutching lloyd's shirt,,, cradling lloyd's hand in his own,,,, i am not immune to a little clinging,,,

but overall i completely get your irritation nonnie i do have a lot of grievances with the webtoon when it comes to how they're choosing to adapt the ending spoilers so. i get you 〒▽〒

Can I just put it out there that I honestly think the dragon is Amaimon

It would make the most sense, and if it ain't him it's def. A "pet" or his Kin.

I think it's kinda cool that possible-future Rin just went "whelp everyone I loved is dead or MIA except the Pink Betrayer, time to form a Bro Team with the only Demon who would bother to go full assault mode on these Mofos no questions asked". The scar might very well be from them duking it out over who is in charge.

What's interesting though, is that this seems to be a future in which Samael has either returned to Gehenna or gone MIA himself, still stuck in the vortex maybe?

I say that because he has no clue what had happened and therefore had not been there yet.

Plus, I think Rin would have gone to Samael in the event of such catastrophe, and his suspicious absence (his house was built over, and I doubt hed just hand over True Cross City to the order like that) says maybe he was simply not there for Rin to find.

Though if Meph can't see his future self here (doubtful but in this case possible to the distortion) then maybe he set things up between Amaimon and Rin so that in his weakened state there'd be some way to fight back.

Buuuuut in all likelihood that was a future in which Samael was for some reason absent from, if not all of Assiah, then that area.
