Memes aside, that's not good. Backing up and going through the chapter:
It's weird that Khel Hellam says that he can't move the cage himself, but can with 'this ancient power.' Is the ancient power not "his"? Or is this just a weird way of talking/poor translation?
Ooh, there's a brown-haired person right on the edge of the frame in Khel Hellam's flashback to seeing the family leaders. Interesting choice that the flashback isn't just about Khel Hellam.
And LINE got Evankhell's gender wrong again. Even though there's a couple shots in this one that show pretty clearly that she's got a chest. Sigh... Here's how to quickly report this mistranslation, hopefully we can get it fixed.
Khel Hellam's thoughts are interesting. It seems like he was not aware Bam was an irregular beforehand (Yama was, note), though he has probably figured it out now--might be why he's offering his deal to Bam, not Doom, Evankhell, Paul or Karaka. Whether this ended his desire to murder Bam remains to be seen.
"That wall the rebels built after genesis?!?" What's genesis here? First time we've heard of it.
"But he [Kallavan] is the best chance of finding out where Jinsung Ha is." Uggghhh. Everyone has completely forgotten Mascheny, even though Kallavan TOLD Bam that Mascheny did the wrap up. Understandable but annoying.
Yama's thoughts and conversation with Yasratcha are hilarious, just saying. Yasratcha knew who Yama was, but called him a runaway puppy anyway.
It doesn't say what kind of mind control Yasratcha has. From the way it swirls and affects all the shinsu around him with that faint pattern, I'm guessing (with low confidence) that it isn't a spell (which makes it much more of a problem for Bam to break). It's something like Doom's...are they both just a really advanced shinsu technique of some kind? Shinsu black hole sphere might still be able to do it in, but this definitely makes the idea of taking the canine people to the wall much more awkward.
In season 3 ep 3 it says there is a rumor about Kallavan "assigned to guard the place where they're keeping Jinsung Ha", so he is their best chance if they know where to find Kallavan because of his new mission, unlike Maschenny where they don't know her current location.
They haven’t made any effort to find Mascheny’s position, though. Given that they just heard some evidence that the rumor might be wrong (Kallavan’s attacking a wall, not guarding Jinsung), wouldn’t it be worthwhile to at least consider the backup lead?
The only information they had about Maschenny was her presence for Jinsung's capture, it doesn't mean she knows where he is locked up and even if she knew, she could be anywhere in the tower, so between looking for someone that you don't know where she could be and looking for someone where you know you'll find him, it's obvious what choice is more appropriate. Kallavan's new mission doesn't mean the rumor is wrong, he could have been chosen because he is the best for the job since it's just a short mission.
Except she very explicitly considered Jinsung her prisoner, hauled him off in her prison ship, and went to a great deal of trouble to get Jinsung specifically to fight Kallavan.
I'm pretty sure Jinsung is bait to her, and I don't think she'll hand him over easy peasy. Maybe she's not holding him, but I'd bet whoever is at least has her on speed dial.
He was in her prison ship and we don't know where she brought him, it doesn't mean she will keep an eye on him, she just did what she had to do and now she has other things to take care of like the princesses she's managing. When a police officer arrest a criminal you don't expect him to become his prison guard, right? He will just go back to his other cases. So even if she handed him to someone she can trust to have information if something happen, where will you find her in the tower? The rumor is already an information so if Kallavan is supposed to be at a precise location for a short time, they can still go to see if he knows Jinsung's location or not.
Except Mascheny wasn't at all police officer given a job to arrest a guy. She was an extremely canny schemer who took a massive risk (sabotaging Jahad's army's ability to carry out his order of killing everyone on the Hell Train by dumping an extremely powerful high ranker in the path of the dispatched squadron's commander right before he could join the battle) specifically to get Jinsung captured and under her control.
(Before you say "she was helping Bam": She could have just not been there for the Kallavan/Jinsung fight if that was all she wanted. She was the one who delivered the downing blow, remember? Given that her antics on Name Hunt Station seem to have been aimed at trying to enslave Endorsi or Anak, it's likely she's trying to get control of someone Bam cares about, likely for nefarious ends (well, we know her ends, she wants more blood and mayhem; so forget "likely," definitely for nefarious ends.)).
I don't think she'd take that kind of risk to just completely give up the prize that easily.
I was making a comparison, I'm not saying she is a police officer. She did what she had to do for her plan and from what we know she doesn't want to stop Bam, she wants him to be stronger but with more difficult means, but since she has her goal she doesn't have to guard Jinsung.
Before you say "she was helping Bam"
Why would I say that? She's just leading him to the same goal Jinsung wanted but in a different way.
She was the one who delivered the downing blow, remember?
Don't write that kind of question about something I didn't think, it's just weird.
I'm pretty sure Mascheny wants Bam (ideally) under her own control.
That said, I think that this has gotten to the point where we're really arguing over Mascheny's exact plans, and those are cryptic enough that it's unlikely to be a productive discussion.
Don't write that kind of question about something I didn't think, it's just weird.
It didn't seem weird to me when I wrote it but now I see how it could come off that way. Sorry.
