I genuinely SCREAMED when I saw that there was a new chapter this early???? Also did I just see Elcucaracho go full Ultra (Survival) Instict?????????? 🥹🥹✨
Glad to see Violence Incarnate finally join in on the conversation after multiple chapters of silence, seems like being humbled by his defeat against El Cucaracho will broaden his world view.
Gosh Pete & El Cucaracho being happy that both can still keep on fighting.
I really want Pete to win but I am just happy to be surprised with new updates.
Maybe I'm wrong, but my interpretation is that Pete hit EC in the face like that in hopes that he'd knock him back into consciousness instead of instinct mode, so that EC can enjoy the rest of the fight as much as Pete is.
that could also be just a red herring, remember in order to CC has a good ending, Pete must have a satisfying fight where he is pushed to the brink while EC find peace once again.
There can only be 2 ways for this to end: Pete kills EC or Pete scaring EC brain so hard nothing can put EC in survival mode again except Pete’s kicks. Any other ways would just make the readers sad or disapointed.
(Well actually we can still has Pete turns off EC’s survival mode somehow and still lose, but since i’m a Pete fan I won’t accept that kind of ending. I will cry in Pinakanaka’s inbox and whine for YEARS it make Frieren look tame)
