Ok, and with this, there’s finally just 2 volumes left. So the next release will probably be the last one unless I feel like releasing V34 on its own for some reason.
And that means we’re almost done and after me working on this every day for 9 months, and before that every day for a few months at a time going back to February of 2012, it’ll finally be done, and I can relax a bit and spend time on other stuff, finally having no huge backlog projects to do.
I dunno how obvious it is to the casual audience, but the Dragonball-Z-like battle in the basement is meant to be analagous of a shogi game.
There are characters of various “power levels” which is indicative of how powerful the shogi pieces are. Johns Lee, Minta, and Minaguchi Yuki are major pieces like the Kaku and Hi. Hashi Kakeo, Mamushi, and the assassins are middle-level pieces. Hapita is a fu, a minor piece but nontheless essential. Some characters are “dropped in” once they leave whatever else they were doing. Some characters “trade sides” like Hashi Kakeo. Some are “promoted” with the Zanguard armor to become more powerful. The blowing up of the support beams of the building is analogous of breaking through an opponent’s defensive castle, etc. That in addition to the various twists and turns resulting in leads being gained or lost.
