“At present I’m writing the definitive work on the subject. So I want you to be totally honest with me. I’ve just destroyed your entire city. I might one day go as high as taking your soul, but I really don’t know what that would do to you. So, let’s just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest — how do you feel?”
*screams*
“hmmm interesting reaction, tell me more”
Ok, so in 1.1.7 he’s using the sword in his right hand until his arm’s bit, then it’s suddenly in his left hand, and then back in the right in the next panel, so right-handed and Red likes conservation of detail. But then 1.1.12 shows him stabbing Disarming with his left hand, and in the last page, he starts his attack with the sword still in his left hand before switching to a two-handed grip. So he’s primarily right-handed but not completely incompetent with his left hand?
It’s a GOD and a body constructed by a god. If you were making your perfect, battle-ready body, would you include a potentially crippling weakness like “not ambidextrous”?
Oooh, I’m really liking this villain. She has no empathy but wants to understand what it’s like? The “numbing” she’s describing would be someone shutting down due to trauma, but this is obviously a rage reaction and she Does Not Get It. Does she want to experience emotions like other people? Or does she want to keep her distance because “emotions are something i want no part of but wish to understand?” or – unlikely wmg here – is she going through a mirror of Kendals’ arc, “who the hell was i before i was a deitything? I probably had some emotions? the frick are those? better rip apart some souls and see what the science says lol” she doesn’t seem to be “empathy is a weakness you have to rise above to be strong” villain, which is a breath of fresh air.
I love how the background changes to show who’s in power! Tea green for sociopath lady, blue for Vash. In the next panel, it’s focused on him and he gets injured, and the background is black.
Just found this comic after years of watching Red’s and I gotta say I’m loving this.
Also, I really love how Vash’s retort in this page is, in fact, a very detailed and succinct answer to the villain’s question. I’m sure she really appreciates it!
Collector: You lost everyone you love and your city
Vash: *Hysterical crying*
Collector: How would you say that makes you feel?
Vash: *Screams*
Collector: please select a valid option
Ok, she’s just toying with him now XD.
TL;DR: Princess Disarming wants to conduct a follow-up survey trying to quantify the pain of losing everyone you’ve ever loved.
Prince Charming’s somewhat disinterested in taking complementary surveys today.

this is perfect
That is definitely a unique feeling…..perhaps he should see a doctor >.>

She’s giving me some serious Count Rugen vibes.
Ambidextrous. He is a god who has gone into many “epic battles”. It would make sense for him to pick up on that skill

I am Intrigued, can’t wait to see her again!
I love the way she’s completely unsympathetic; very detached scientist vibes here.
Baymax: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain?
that’s amazing lol
the Princess Bride has so many potential parodies
I meant to reply to DragonMaster66’s comment don’t know why it didn’t work properly

I guess princess disarming is now the canon name for beginners.
I love how this is even better on the reread. This comic’s incredible
I love how the glow around his eyes behaves like tears.
She just wants knowledge!
You know, research and stuff so…
At least he told her?
“i can feel them screaming”
im guessing its more like thousands of ants eating you alive piece by piece, sort of like what leafcutters or termites do with trees
Just such an earnest scholar. Like, look at that smile. She is having the time of her life here. Like a frigging PSYCHOPATH

Evil Tree:
Vash: *screams in anger and fury and hurt*
Baymax: Ah, a 10 then. Would you like a hug?
With understanding and some curiosity
She smiles in the face of his utter ferrocity.
Am I sadistic and insane if I laughed at this panel? Or am I just not connected to that city and not (yet) connected to the character she’s hurting
You will probably not get to attached to Vash, though you WILL get attached to Vashn’t
