Japanese SCP Foundation sealed the Peanut army away after 173 escaped.

Also the mirrors are using the Weeping Angels rule I mentioned last chapter, they're forcing them to look at each other to keep them contained in place.

I wonder if the drainage system is also SCP-affected, or if some reservoir is just either connected to the ocean somewhere or might eventually fill up. I recall that 173 constantly emits some mixture of feces and blood, and that its cell needs to be constantly cleaned.

I feel like this article would be better if it didn't explicitly mention a missing statue. Kind of brings up the issue of why the Foundation doesn't retroactively label SCP-173 as SCP-3220-1.

In the actual wiki page they literally don't know where the drains drain into and also every cell has a light powered through undetermined means. The cell with the missing statue is also smashed to all hell.

The Department of Abnormalities is strange and implied to be alternate reality shenanigans

I think that they don’t label scp173 as scp3220-1, because the peanut was probably discovered before and changing its number would be a hassle. And that is because you would need to tell everyone that the peanut’s name changed and it would also leave a blank space in scp 173 report

Obviously different canons apply, but its implied that scp numbers are randomly assigned and occasionally shuffled around at certain times so changing 173's designation wouldn't be too out there.

Implied where?

I went down the scp wiki rabbit hole after reading the previous chapter, I really was not kidding when I said The Department of Abnormalities is an entire series

Seems like Japan decided to give a backstory to 173, hope they didn't ruined it, sometime nothing is enough, like the Backrooms were a fascinating creepypasta but then people added stupid levels and the crap with almond water.
Anyway from this chapter, that is fanfiction of fanfiction because I'm sure who created the original SCP didn't really build a lore, we can guess that 173 is not unique (and that already removes a fascinting trait) and others like it were sealed in a prison with absolute view of every inmate, that is what a panepticon is, the center column could be acting like a eye or the statues see, so they are locking each other in, that means 173 can't escape, so it was likely brought out on purpose.

I thought 173 was made by some guy who thought it was funny, who also made the nerf gun scp

Wait, the last page of the previous one suggests that she was found there as well, but why was it not mentioned? When was the tower sealed if they both found the bloody remains and a skeletal remain of the woman in the same cell?

It's in the spirit of the actual page on the SCP where it was never outright stated but strongly implied by matching descriptions... and the fact the page just outright links you to the related pages even if never named in text

173 was originally based on a concrete and rebar statue created by a JP artist, so it's technically a -JP SCP.
Not quite true. The -JP and other non-english designations are based on the author and language of origin. While the original 173 used art from a JP artist, the story itself never mentions japan or the origin of the art and is written in english. -JP scps are independent of the english versions, hence why 173-JP is different from the original 173.

Additionally, as people have mentioned before, the current scp is also not a -JP scp and can be found on the english wiki.
