Lol ..i think you got it wrong on this one. How could they be battling the entire city when the giants are already going on rampage/
Plus they had to blend in so as not to get noticed by these new humans..The fight will definately be between the giants and those mindless looking people.
Nah, now that Chapter 9 has been released, I'm even more confident in it now than I was before!
Check out the big splash page of the battle, page 13. Looks cool and all, right?
Well now pay attention not to the spectacle, but to the differences in how the two groups are fighting. The giants are being berserkers, just wailing on every target they see, and they're acting independantly of one another.
But the New Humans? Take a close look at them, and how they're fighting. Whenever you see some of them clustered together they're not working as a team but actually performing the
exact same actions.
Like, on the left side of the splash page, you can see several of them in the same pose with their knives held up with their elbows at a right angle, including the one currently having his body crushed by a giant. And on the right side, you have all of the New Humans who are walking, in perfect lockstep mind you, along the exact same path, and seeming to jump after they reach the exact same point.
It's not a group of people working as a united army, it's smaller groups of people being ordered to complete certain motions.
You're right in that the giants are fighting the mindless looking people, but the New Humans are acting less like independant human beings and more like a bunch of meat drones that were dressed up to look pretty that are running off of computer-like commands.
And like before, we continue to see those big laughing faces on the side of the buildings, though this time overlooking the carnage.
