I expect anything Baal asks Sullivan for is going to be significantly more interesting than that. He's a scumbag, but he's also a smart scumbag. Hence why he engineered the situation that let him save Shura in the first place. He also needs Iruma to stay in the Demon World for his plans, and...

Quite a lot of them, in fact. Arguably, most things are poisons, it's just the dosage is way too high to be feasible in many cases. It'd need to replace your blood, ant a certain point. And if we really want to stretch the definitions, some metals or metalloids are also toxic. Arsenic, mercury...

Not just acting like it's nothing. They outright scold Kashim for trying to stop the discussion on the cream shortage to discuss Yamata instead. Feels like they're borderline gaslighting the guy into thinking he's the weird one.

In an open field, no less. The lack of intelligence on display, in multiple senses of the word, is staggering. As Sun Tzu said, "if you know neither yourself nor the enemy, you will succumb in every battle." And hoo boy, does this Prince not know himself or his enemy.

Hoo boy, do I have thoughts about this chapter. 1. The dad here is being a huge hypocrite, IMO. He's a politician, a unstable job dependent entirely on his public image, with an incredibly low success rate. Probably lower than the odds of being a relatively successful musician, actually...

I have no idea. I don't live there. I just bake my own bread at home, and four ingredients is all I use these days. Only reason I mentioned it is that some people who bake have a mistaken impression that sugar feeds the yeast and improves rise, but it really doesn't.

Yeah, this is 100% where the flashback with Henri and Merize (Amelia's mom) took place. I was just rereading Chapter 327, and that immediately jumped out at me. Which raises a whole lot of questions.

When the heck did I concede that? Also, you literally keep shifting the goal-posts yourself with your bizarre "you'd never use a handgun to take on 4 people with machine guns and body armor and a tank" crap. My point is that users make their decisions based on many factors. And yes, familiarity...

What time "period" is appropriate, exactly? Most fantasy settings are a pastiche of stuff from across a few thousand years of history, including the Renaissance. Falchions were produced from the 13th-15th centuries. Is the 13th century not medieval enough? And again, it's a light, single edged...

Again, tell that to the White Death. Dude went iron sights, and racked up 500 kills in the course of about 4 months (30th of November 1939 to 13th of March 1940). As a sniper. Granted, he was helped by the fact that he was fighting in the snow, which makes scopes a dicey proposition. Heck...

Sort of? Curving the sword is usually a matter of weight distribution, like I said. That can make it more suited for slashing. Stabbing is pretty much always better at piercing through things that slashing, regardless of if the armor is hardened leather or steel. It just also does less damage...

Funny that you say that, because I'm like 75% sure that Lieutenant Surge in the Pokémon Adventures manga, who's a part of Team Rocket in that series, had a vest of Voltorbs and Electrodes (their evolution) that he used exactly the way you'd think he would. It didn't kill him, but uh...yeah.

Yep. It's great. At least two. Probably more.

As someone who has researched swords excessively, I'd say that no sword is "just one amongst many". And I don't just mean Japanese ones. A kopesh, scimitar, and katana aren't going to handle the exact same way, despite all being "curved swords". The first one is basically an axe cosplaying as a...

Having reread this whole thing, this does still seem to come out of nowhere...but it's really not surprising that they accepted his identity so fast, either. Like...Jean has been behaving like someone who stumbled out of another world pretty much the whole time they've known him. Or at least...
