Sword against claws may be unfair, but so is claws against fists (at least if this weren’t a warrior god’s warform). Maybe Felst can wait while Kendal fetches a club or dagger?
It would be really easy to slish slash Falst into some ribbons but Kendal isn’t about that, but he isn’t dumb either. Falst isn’t the one behind the chimeras and I’m sure of that, and I know Kendal is sure of it also.
Unrelated, but I have a theory on how they repair Kendal’s clothes so quickly: since Vash incarnated with them on, they have some of the healing abilities that Kendal now has, just less since they aren’t attached to him.
This doesn’t explain how they clean them so quickly, though.
“But I don’t plan on using it….because it’s optimized for twenty to forty foot tall enemies. Unlike you, the local environment hasn’t wronged me in any way.” =P
Well, that’s another shirt in need of patching up.
Falst doesn’t seem completely intent on killing Kendal, he made the snarky comment before attacking, warning him, and here he doesn’t seem to be going all out.
Red, your fight choreography is awesome with or without the sword.
This is like my third time re-reading this comic and I just noticed Falst ripping a little chunk out of Kendal’s shirt in the third panel, you can see it missing in the rest of the page
That’s some real precision leaning, to let it pass that close but not scratch his chest
Kendal’s about to do some negotiating now isn’t he?
BRUH, Kendal. Even if you don’t want to kill Falst, do you want to KO him or not?
Kendal just likes living life on hard mode, I guess.
Though to be fair, knocking someone out can get in the way of negotiations…
Knock them out.
Tie them up.
NOW you can negotiate.
I mean, this is *Kendal*, aka man of corpse. I’m not sure his arms would do any worse than a sword.
Well sword against fists would be a litzle unfair

I mean it would be kinda unfair to fight with a sword against someone who is unarmed and only using fists
Just use the scabbard kindle
I’ve truly given up haven’t I
Yeah, you have.
I mean, he probably doesn’t need the scabbard to knock someone out, given how he can tear rocks apart with his bare hands.
“You’re not worthy of facing my blade.”
He’s going to Beowulf it!
*awesome Viking music intensifies*
LET’S WRESTLE, LITTLE MAN!
like i get hes probably gonna try and talk it out but it really sounds like kendals gonna deck lion man
Probably both
I know he’s gonna try to talk his way out of this, but I like the idea that this is an anime-ass “I only need 1% of my power” type play
both
No, Kendal, you drop the mic, not the sword. “But it gets in the way of the hugging!” …Fair point.

Actually I’m pretty sure Red herself said his clothes are the solid colour t-shirts of that world and that the shirt was quite common
Haha, so they just stock up on them in preparation for being attacked
It’s because Falst isn’t made of rock
True tbf. Giant stone robots or literal walls? Sword, sword, sword. Soft, vulnerable people? NEGOTIATE OR DIE TRYING.
Kendal be like: “peace was always an option”.
But also no dude don’t drop your sword, it could get stolen by 1 of 2 people in your immediate area.
Turns out that this whole thing was an elaborate plot by Gleicann to steal Vash’s sword.
I was worried about that, too. Glad to know someone else considered theft a possible issue.
Falst is going to be the edgy dramatic one isn’t he. I mean, just look a that cape flare!
If he does join the team (and even if he doesn’t) I kind of like it, we need as much chaotic energy and cape flares as possible.
Guys I love Kendal
What’s up with Falst’s claws? Are they like really sharp nails or cat claws or just weird shaped bone?
From the looks of it, they’re just long, sharp, durable fingernails, kinda like with Inuyasha (if you’ve seen that)
Interesting that Falst is so determined to be murdered
“But I don’t plan on using it….because it’s optimized for twenty to forty foot tall enemies. Unlike you, the local environment hasn’t wronged me in any way.” =P
Getting some serious samurai/other-honorable-fighter vibes here.
Okay does anyone else think that Falst is actually trying to *stop* the Chimerae and the doctor is the one creating them? Just me?
Well, that’s another shirt in need of patching up.
Falst doesn’t seem completely intent on killing Kendal, he made the snarky comment before attacking, warning him, and here he doesn’t seem to be going all out.
Red, your fight choreography is awesome with or without the sword.
TL;DR: Moar fight. Like the self-respecting good-aligned protagonist he is, Floofy boi doesn’t use his sword.
You do realize that holding back in a fight is the same as witholding the power of friendship, right?
You have much to learn, Kendal. Much to learn.
“I mostly use it for hitting rocks” XD !!
The only time the sword comes out is when Kendal is REALLY angry or just smashing rocks.
Alt text: I mostly use it for hitting rocks tbh
Image source: sword
(Y’know, if Vash had known how many rocks Kendal the sword would be used on, Kendal the man would probably be named pickaxe.)
coming back here after the current arc is wild because falst is actually wearing a shirt
This is like my third time re-reading this comic and I just noticed Falst ripping a little chunk out of Kendal’s shirt in the third panel, you can see it missing in the rest of the page
That’s some real precision leaning, to let it pass that close but not scratch his chest
