As it turns out, Lorenzo calls Vitale by his name too... Is it to conceal the facts, so no-one would ask questions about Lorenzo's longevity?
Makes me want to see Ottomo's origin story.
You're not delusional, I think much like how the cleanup crew were apparently Lupin-themed, I think this set of goons were Ace Attorney-themed.
I cropped out Luke Atmey but that looks like Apollo, Dick and Phoenix already on screen. I didn't notice anyone else, kinda surprised to not see Edgeworth (I do not think he's in the bag).
Oh, that's quite a great feature. I like that sort of "easter eggs".
But the colour of that costume kind of gives it away...
If you haven't already seen it, there is a comment from the writer that putting the credits doesn't mean they are ending the series, they just want to give prop to the team members working on the comic.
Yeah, I think it's not looking likely, although I wouldn't say it (de)confirms it. Even if he's working deep cover for the Medici, there's no reason he couldn't take jobs from the Renoirs. If anything, that's what someone under deep cover might do.
Dunno about that either. Vitale looks significantly older than Lorenzo with the Life Gem. If he were using one, you'd think they would look around the same age. I think Vitale has something that is dear to him, and Lorenzo is threatening harm to it if he doesn't get his way.
I mean, it's not uncommon for a father to call his son by his name. Much less common the other way around though. Normally it shows disrespect, but in this case it could be Vitale trying to be "professional" and not using familial terms to refer to Lorenzo, who is also essentially his boss.
Idk. I think it's probably just a well-known fact that Tom is a drunk and could probably be distracted by alcohol.
It's 2x2 Weeks. Double the fun!
Assuming they want to get to the Fishbone Gang massacre at some point to bring Fortune's character in-line with how she appears in the game, they would need to run into each other sooner or later. Perhaps someone else finds the FIshbone Gang and Dahlia was put in charge of interrogating them.
Well, interesting at least in the context of the Webtoon. I don't think Parasoul raiding the Labs happens in the canon timeline.
In hindsight, there should have been an image of trolling Double and really angry Marie at the end of the chapter...
Indeed.
Same.
I feel like they could have leaned into the Two Weeks meme more but clearly the devs don't think it's as funny as I think it is. :P
Yeah, that is weird and I don't see why they thought they needed to change Eliza's motivation for having to help the Medici. However, it was also pointed out to me that it could be that Vitale is just saying that to hide Eliza's secret from the other Medici members. Either way, even if Vitale is paying her, Eliza isn't a gun-for-hire, and the fact she agreed to help them in the first place would likely mean there is more at stake for her than money, so I think the blackmailing aspect is still at play.
Can't wait to explain to SGM-only players or people who have only read the Webtoon that the timeline is not canon lol.Same.
Nice to see it happening at all. Once again, more reason to speculate about the canon timeline
A huge disappointment!
There was a scene in one of the earlier chapters with Lorenzo reading some reports about Eliza, so it's quite possible.
Well, some SGM-only players are puzzled by the Webtoon timeline too...
Yeah, it was just in a newspaper I think, about Eliza's blood drive. I think it's just a reference to that particular part of her lore for the eagle-eyed reader.
Yeahh. We've been told that both the SGM Main Story timeline and the Webtoon timelines are not canon, but I don't think it's a common knowledge that is known to most players. I wonder if there is a way SGM and/or the Webtoon could clarify that more.Well, some SGM-only players are puzzled by the Webtoon timeline too...
Yeah, pretty sure this is still true. We don't know if Ottomo was originally meant to be internally piloted, but if he did then Tom must have made some modifications so that someone his size could pilot it. He's definitely not a standard sized person, even as far as Dagonians go.
Lol would have been interesting but don't think Eli could fit in there.
Yeah, I think that is the intention. But like I said, if Ottomo's AI is responsible for talking then he could have alerted Lorenzo even if Tom is knocked out. I'll just assume that the Fishbone disabled him off-panel or something, for the sake of my sanity.
Oh, interesting. Can you point out which scene in particular? I've never seen the movie but I should check it out.
Same.
That was a crossover I didn't expect.
Lol Marie is literally a kid. It's kid-on-kid violence.
lol, and I got to say silly Easter egg background characters only work if they don't interact with the plot. Watching the family from a wholesome action-comedy get brutally murdered by skeleton minions is a little too disruptive. Instead "oh no, the Skullgirl!" the reader is like "WTF! The Forgers!"
Yeah, I really like the webcomic so far and it's clear the team has a lot of fun making it. If they like Skullgirls and have a good time making it, than I'd say it's pretty good.
In Painwheel's story, Valentine was scoping Maplecrest to identify Medici-related families. Ignoring the seemingly weird timeline inconsistency (the attack should have happened before the events of 2E), maybe Marie already knew which houses and families to target.
Despite us seeing her "attacking" a family with kid and Maplecrest being full of them, none of the minions she was controlling in the later part of the chapter were kids, so it's not impossible that she let them go. But was it any less cruel to murder their parents in front of them and leave them orphans? I guess that's debatable.
Previously confirmed in Black Dahlia's story but with all the weirdness with the Webtoon canon it's hard to say what's up. In a previous chapter it seemed like Lorenzo expected his son to know what he was talking about.
This thing can change its shape. Just look at Eliza's gameplay.
Oh yeah, to expand on my earlier post, it's not that it's confirmed the Vitale didn't know about the Life Gem, it's more like it is confirmed that Lorenzo never told him about the Life Gem. As hinted in the games, I think Vitale has worked out a long time ago what the secret to his father's immortality is. His lines in the Webtoon seems almost mocking of his father, or at best kind of sarcastic. Like, "wow dad, I would have never figured it out by myself, what a great web of shadows you have woven".
Also Panzerfaust and Big Band squeezing into Parasoul's car lol. It's Just Skullgirls Things.
I think she is "willing" to do it although she is disgusted by it. But yeah, take into account that at this point, they had no idea it was Ms. Fortune and the Fishbone Gang who stole the stuff from Lorenzo. She likely understandably thought they were probably a more high-end, well-funded operation rather than a bunch of scrappy thieves from the slums, so she was more questioning the logic of why they were looking for clues in the alleys. Obviously she's not very bright and what Eliza is doing is correct.
Since it's a divergent timeline, I think we can consider events as not being strictly canon, like how the Filia home attack went down. The events in the Origin Story should be taken as the canon one.
I do think it's getting close to the point where information going forward is set to be non-canon--even tho Dahlia hasn't found and killed the Fishbone Gang yet. We always knew it was a divergent timeline, but I do agree that a lot of character actions don't seem in-line with how they usually are (then again, we have Dahlia's story mode where plenty of characters in that seem to act odd, so who knows).
Yeah it was a bit weird since it did seem like Peacock did get a pretty good look at her. I guess she didn't expect her childhood friend to turn up as the Skullgirl, but it's not like Marie's appearance is that much different from when she was at the orphanage.
I think it can be taken similarly to the 2E stories where there are probably clues to what the canon event should be. For example, the Life Gem heist might not have happened exactly like in the Webtoon in the true timeline, but I think it gives a pretty good indication that something similar must have taken place. While Parasoul raiding the Medici Tower likely doesn't happen in the true timeline, Dahlia's story does seem to strongly suggest that Marie must have attacked the Medici Tower previously to the start of 2E, and the Fishbone Gang also probably took advantage of the aftermath of that to pull off the heist.
adam just went and kicked the child we need this man in the games
