@21Jdee @reovaltair @StaidBubble12 Netflix wouldnt ever let DBD of all things confirm whether or not El is alive, so she had to be taken before her "death" whether real or faked

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@reovaltair @StaidBubble12 Well, El died before she turned 18 too

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@yasudadesu17 Ooh yeah, that's a good idea. It'd probably take me a little while by nature of being a spread but I'd probably have that done in a week or so. It'd def keep me busy

#Kagurabachi
What pages do you guys want to see colored over the break? We've got a while before there are any new chapters so I'm open to suggestions!

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@Uruham11 I've already done the sword-in-mouth page a little while back but I'll look into the others!

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@Uruham11 I've been thinking of going back and redoing some Sojo stuff -- but I'm not 100% on it. Maybe some other moments that I missed here or there?

@oisisoso @I_LoveDokkan @elden_kingg @mitsukanehive Which means that she can't have used it to have found him as well. Or, at the bare minimum, it's completely headcanon to assume that she did and should have been stated by the story

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@oisisoso @I_LoveDokkan @elden_kingg @mitsukanehive Except for the fact that her luck isn't a passive trait, it's something that she has to actively use, and the story explicitly stated that she used up the last of it in protecting Shin

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@SMadareme40328 @mitsukanehive How am I supposed to feel the stakes as a reader when the story is consistently telling me: "These characters are going to be fine. Even when bad things seem to happen to them, it works out almost immediately."

The museum paid off it's stakes but afterwards? Not really (4/4)

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@SMadareme40328 @mitsukanehive Then you have the explanation next chapter.

As for the family beat -- we have Sakamoto's family supposedly killed but then immediately we see that they're fine.

It's not *just* the fakeout execution but the frequency of them that reduces stakes. There's too many (3/4)

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@oisisoso @I_LoveDokkan @elden_kingg @mitsukanehive Her showing up at the end and saving Shin should've been the hype and aura moment with a deeper explanation at the start of the next chapter, not Shin being in danger, because then it feels like a cop-out when he gets saved

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@oisisoso @I_LoveDokkan @elden_kingg @mitsukanehive The thing itself isn't a cop-out, but it needed to be set up earlier in the chapter that she was around rather than her appearing suddenly. That, and it should've been a cliffhanger, not not the start-of-chapter explainer

The idea isn't bad but the execution was flawed

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@SMadareme40328 @mitsukanehive Admittedly, the recent chapters have gotten a bit better at that, but for a while it was badddd with the fakeout deaths at the end of chapters and then immediately explanations

At least now the fake-outs are moreso resolved at the end of the chapter instead of the next

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@SMadareme40328 @mitsukanehive It's the cliffhangers that go nowhere. Chapters establish cliffhangers that should meaningfully increase the stakes but are brushed off within the first couple of pages of the next chapter.

After a while of that, it's a boy who cried wolf situation

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@SsmilinSam @Chi_Chinonyerem I'd chalk it up to faulty Netflix adaptation logic more than anything. If you've seen the clip you know they pull some bullshit regardless -- like having Aang master the Avatar state instead of Azula getting a cheap shot

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@SsmilinSam @Chi_Chinonyerem Well, in the adaptation, he got hit from the front and there's a wound on his back in the exact same place.

It's not really how lightning works generally, in the animation the exit wound is on his foot, but for the live action it's just a straight shot through him

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@Chi_Chinonyerem It makes sense to try to focus the healing on the part that's more vital, just in case it was somehow an incomplete fix. That way, at least, the front can heal on its own and the spine is restored.

That being said, it just wasn't really thought through all that well (2/2)

[Buzz @BuzzColorings]

@Chi_Chinonyerem Beyond what someone else said about that being how it was in the original -- if I *had* to logically explain it, here's what I'd go with;

The front where he was hit was moreso the middle of his chest but if it went clean through then that's spinal damage as well (1/2)
