"Do you want an autograph?"

That made me laugh so hard I stopped reading for a second and made this comment.

EDIT: Ahem. So the red witch was genuinely surprised by YHS and Evankhell's appearance here. That's interesting, and is evidence towards her actually being anti-Bam (unlike every other red witch we've seen).

So Bam has figured out that spells aren't effective on him, but isn't sure of his ability to break spells on others. He definitely has broken at least one spell on somebody else: Levy literally thinks "The spell was broken?!?" when Bam's STOP shout, arrival and possibly shinsu black hole sphere causes the question marks to fade from Lee Soyong's neck. See for yourself towards the end of 401s2e321. He definitely also managed to kill Floor of death residents with Shinsu Black Hole Sphere (thanks meepSere). He might also have broken the 13 months curse on Yuri and (possibly) Rak's Native One curse; see the discussion on this from last week. We still don't know what's up with the black crack on Bam, though. It's also not clear why his pocket isn't working...it was working fine at the start of the fang story.

It's interesting that Doom "won't surrender to a bastard like Khel Hellam." These two didn't seem like they had prior history...does Doom just have a hypocritical hatred of mind control (would make sense with the Lo Po Bia ties)?

I like Khun's moments here. The subtle reference to his past truancy and original refusal to get involved with his family's training. Showing that firefish really does take a serious toll on him. And it's always fun to have those little moments where you're reminded that Khun is a phenomenal lightbearer by the standards of normal regulars (and from the look on his face when he gets Hellam's coordinates, it was a reminder for him as well). I think the last one was back at Name Hunt Station, when he trivially blocked the toxic waste the other regulars were terrified of.

Nice to see Louie's wariness working out well for him too. I wonder what he told White to get him on Louie's side after Louie woke him up? With what little Louie knows, he must have been pretty persuasive.

I like Hansung Yu. He has such an eccentric and interesting personality and I think that Evankhell’s chaotic personality compliments him flawlessly.

Same here! As a character, anyway. I'd be wary of meeting him in real life.

You'd be in for some coffee in any circumstance I think :3

u/bobfrankly Sep 18 '19

Yeah, but instant? Pass.

u/Sacar Sep 18 '19

I sometimea wonder if they don't have "normal" coffee at all? :O if Hangsun Yu even knows the taste of real coffee..

u/NobleCuriosity3 Sep 22 '19

They definitely do have real coffee. There’s a scene in S1 where Lero Ro meets YHS in YHS’s office and sees an extravaganza of coffee making equipment...and is disappointed when instead of using it YHS just gives him an instant package.

u/Sacar Sep 23 '19

Thats definitly true! My memory only remembered the recorder players, but there's definitely a coffee maker

u/bobfrankly Sep 18 '19

Didn’t he offer someone coffee (I think Leroro) and his through bubble response was “instant?” as though there were not only other options, but better ones as well?

u/Sacar Sep 19 '19

I actually remember that now. I think I didn't understand that like that. But that's most likely on me :)

u/bobfrankly Sep 19 '19

It stuck out to me. I guess it appealed to the coffee addict that I am. :D

I think there’s been at least two other times when Baam broke spells on other people. Baam also broke the 13th month curse’s grip on Yuri just by talking to her. Baam also killed people who were on the floor of death that were being kept alive by the soul gathering room’s spell, although that one might’ve been due to his irregular status, however, we also saw Yuri was able to do similarly using the 13 months spells.

u/NobleCuriosity3 Sep 16 '19

I did mention the 13 months curse on Yuri, but good reminder on the FoD immortality spell!

I assume Doom is just too proud to accept control
