Shuumatsu no Valkyrie - Ch. 102 - The Soul’s Salvation

[amamiya426]

Rewriting ancient history is one thing, but rewriting modern documented history is just cringe.

Thank goodness this is a Mongolian tapestry about gods and men fighting because a chick's boyfriend got locked up trapped in hell.
And not some historical documentary claiming whatever it show are facts.

I don’t get why the fuck they made all that shit of how you can’t Volund the bullets without a heavy prince even though Jack was doing that with knives, stones and even the Big Ben. Simo Haya shouldn’t have that nerf.

To be fair jack's knife couldn't do all that. If it was simo's bullet it would one shot herc breaking his club and hitting his head

I assume that wall loki put up is near unbreakable.

Its still weird why he immediately picked liver why not other useless body part

welp
time for the clone to disappear and Loki's backstory

His roster of female characters left no doubt this was going to be a sausage fest.
even the few female leads lean towards masculine/tomboyish.
Only the literal tools and Aphrodite have any trace of "female" to them.

In a story with magic, Divine and Valkyrie powers, only men are strong enough to save humanity.

It's especially agruigious since replacing Athena with aplollo is insofar justified as the later really is the god of boxing. For Sekmeht however there is no excuse. Not only is she literally the incarnation of wrathful power, and the second strongest god in the pantheon (the strongest being another woman, Isis), her origin myth is being created to wipe out humanity, something she only stopped doing to get shitfaced

Funny that the mangaka is making Simo feel guilty when historically he said never felt remorse for it.

Pretty sure they found his journal where he explicitly stated he felt remorse for all the lives he took. Admitting that in his day and age while alive would've made him look weak.

Imagine if this round ends here.

Estimated time: 3 min
Killing blow: Liver bullet.

I would like to see the exact translation myself and not a generalization. Even looking at Wikipedia, the way he recounts his experiences doesn't indicate to me that he felt deep remorse over the war.

I don't doubt that he didn't acknowledge the act of killing was bad, just that the whole PTSD trip seems revisionist.

Unrelated, but I found while searching that shooting from trees wasn't a thing either.

Wait, so, Simo disfigured himself in a misfire?

No, he was hit in the jaw by an armor piercing round a Russian rifleman fired his way. Made half of his face explode and knocked him out. Was so bad of a sight that the Finns tossed him into a pile of their war dead and only realized hours later he was actually moving a little more than the bodies next to him.

The event is dramatized here with the ricochet & him killing the other guy but in reality it was simply done by an opponent Simo didn't see or caught sight of too late.

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[middle-the-nerd]

It would be so fucking funny if it ended here

That's just objectively false. While not exactly 'guilt', Simo did consider each of his kills a sin and expressed distaste toward killing and war.

Probably for drama and pacing. Going with relevant organs creates a ticking clock/shot limit element instead of wasting panel time on Simo weaponizing his gall bladder, tonsils, appendix, adenoids, spleen, floating ribs, and who knows what other trash body parts before getting to the good stuff.
Would've been better had there been some throwaway line about how organ importance influences the strength of the bullet, and he needs all the punch he can get to pierce Loki's god puppets, but it is what it is.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[RamenRider]

The manga version somehow seems weaker than the IRL version since IRL had actual air strikes called in on him in desperate attempts to hit him.

 

[wyknot04]

Edit: Also seems like Simo shooting from trees was never a thing irl.

If I recall correctly, he fired from low to the ground, and in fact the reason he didn't use a scope was so the silhouette of his gun would be smaller and less visible to enemies

 

[BlackHoxton]

That's just objectively false. While not exactly 'guilt', Simo did consider each of his kills a sin and expressed distaste toward killing and war.

I love how you say it's objectively false then proceed to give the exact same take as me lol. Read the thread caused I'm tired of repeating the same points

 

[KuroViLolitannia]

Dang this is so damn hype compared to few recent fights

 

[TwisterJR]

"But actually Loki knew all along and next chapter Simo Hayha is ripped in half"

Well, you would have to be a psycopath to feel nothing about killing that many people. But I'm not a mind-reader, I'm someone on the autism spectrum who has trouble relating to even some of the most mundane of social emotions.
