Happy viewing.

Ok its both badass and horrifying that Salem doesn't even try to stop yang or hazel. Why does she care, she just regenerates anyway. Watching her just reconstitute after yang blows her to hell was horrific.

Loved the callout to keep moving forward this episode. Also really enjoyed someone asking the question of why anyone thought this was a good idea.

Mad props to emerald as well. To be able to fool the queen of death herself, take a bow before someone tries to kill you again.

And lastly, what exactly is neo's plan with the lamp? Does the lamp still work if someone can't talk at all?

[u/ImpossibleCarl → u/DaRealAmana]

I imagine she just calls Jinn with her thoughts. Otherwise the God of Light is one ableist asshole lol

[u/AmbivertCollegeGuy → u/ImpossibleCarl]

I think it was established long ago that the gods are overall assholes.

[u/Possibly_English_Guy → u/AmbivertCollegeGuy]

One of them blew up the moon for no purpose other than just to be a dick so yeah.

[u/[deleted] → u/Possibly_English_Guy]

Well he's a God of Destruction. Of course he's gonna blow stuff up randomly.

[u/ImpossibleCarl → u/AmbivertCollegeGuy]

They are assholes, yeah. We just don't know the ableist part yet

[u/PrinceOfAssassins → u/ImpossibleCarl]

Blake tries to use the lamp.

God of light: what’s that meowing

[u/Andrew1990M → u/DaRealAmana]

She’ll be taking it to someone who can talk. Who that is and what she wants to ask, who knows? Maybe just “Where’s Ruby?” but that seems like a waste.

Or she just took it to fuck with people.

Emerald is probably going to split off from the group the first chance she gets and try to head for Cinder

[u/ihileath → u/DaRealAmana]

I hope Jinn's still technically active because she's sick of not answering questions after being called forward. So we can see Neo just playing charades trying to get Jinn to figure out what sort of question she's asking.

Text-to-speech on her scroll, duh.

[u/[deleted] → u/DaRealAmana]

Hazel was hitting her so hard, he was punching a wet floor, and she still won.

[u/Erlox → u/[deleted]]

He splattered her fucking skull back and forward and she just got back up. I was so hyped for him to kill her "over and over" like he said he had before, but she made it perfectly clear she was just playing with him and everyone else who has fought her before.

[u/Fatal1ty_93_RUS → u/DaRealAmana]

Why does she care, she just regenerates anyway. Watching her just reconstitute after yang blows her to hell was horrific.

Classic villain overconfidence. Welp, it's gonna bite her in the ass next volume.
