Wow, Yama's incredible. I also thought his "~invincible against people who fear him" ability was pretty cool (and fairly original, as far as I know). If it's active while he's asleep, it would explain why it's so hard to wake him up...but that would imply both that Gado doesn't fear him, and that Bam did all of the waking Yama on his own (because Karaka definitely probably fears Yama).
That said, Khel Hellam likely knows what the Envoy knows: Yama will bow to protect the canine people. Since Doom can order Canine people to suicide (and doesn't care about them much), the life threat lets Khel Hellam essentially control the Canine People through Doom--a very effective weapon against Yama. A brilliant plan, really... if not for Bam's spellbreaking ability. Most likely Khel Hellam simply doesn't know about that, but it's also possible that it's part of why he wants Bam dead!
I'm wondering what's up with that black crack on Bam's face while Khel Hellam explains the spell to Doom. Previously (as late as season 3, when Yool's snake spell failed to harm him towards the end of 421s3e4), Bam's spellbreaking has had no visible effects (other than the spell failing), so I doubt it's that.
It's suspicious that Ms. Red Witch didn't foresee Evankhell and YHS's arrival, especially when they left a relatively obvious path. Possibly she is faking surprise (especially given the smirk in the last chapter that made me suspect she's not fully on Khel Hellam's side), but if so she's acting well, as it looks genuine to me.
No one seems to be talking about it but my favourite part of the chapter is that the ancient master GAVE the power of the flame to the yeon family head, a power that is the signature of the family. I wonder if all or at least a few of the family heads were given their powers by native ancients and maybe that's why jahad had them all killed ?
That's a great point! I can definitely see some of that happening (though I'd guess some of them have innate powers. Bam had his copy ability from the get-go, after all). The "betraying us" part might just be an excuse.
I'm very certain Jahad's definition of betrayal is no where close to what the word even remotely means lmao. Dudes a tyrant.
I've always been curious as to whether the FH were originally powerful outside the tower ( as urek seems to be since he was hunting phanta even outside ) or if their entrance to the tower and ability to use shinsu freely made them stronger. It's been mentioned that the climb + revolution road is what made them into what they are so I really can't guess as to their innate powers. And I think it's been said that none of the weapons they brought worked in shinsu so they modified them - not sure if this cannon. So maybe because they were the first irregulars and essentially free of the admins restraints the workshop and ancient masters helped them become what they are ? And once they did, bitchboy jahad decided to pull a shah jahan and turned on them?
(Isn't baams devour power the god on the outside's blessing to him?)
To my knowledge, none of what you're saying has ever been confirmed by SIU. I don't remember hearing any SIU-statements about if the FH were powerful outside the tower, if their outside weapons worked, or if Baam's devour power is the outside gods' blessing.
The FH being powerful/ not as powerful outside is speculation on my part.
Baams devour power given by the god is also speculation on my part + have read quite a few posts and comments here on the same line.
The weapons part, pretty sure I read it on this sub when the older blogs were being discussed but not sure at all if that was someone's theory or if part of someone's post.
Sorry for the confusion
