Aah a big 'Fuck you' to Jagganoth. Very audacious of them. Perhaps they could have attained Royalty in another life.

I mean Allison already did that with her homies. The hotpot thing.

Ot perhaps it is to Allison. Then again they are mercenaries so whateves I guess.

No one wants to question the validity of a Maybe Human?

I finished reading the comic recently, but I would like to learn more about how the mechanics of the universe works in martial arts and the Art. So! I tried the board game, but between the fact that I've never played one in my life and that I'm too stupid to read between the lines, I am a bit... lost.

Does anyone know any fanfiction that can help me understand a little more about everything?

There aren't a whole lot of fanfics for K6BD AFIK, there are five fics on Spacebattles, four of them are crossovers, and two of them are SIs.

The fics in question
Long Walk Home (MCU crossover)
Shadow of the Wheel (RWBY crossover)
Sierra Learns to Wield a Sword (Worm Crossover)
Uncrowned King (RWBY crossover, also an SI)
Violence is Always the Answer (not a crossover, but it is an SI)

There are also 56 fics on AO3.
AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Kill Six Billion Demons (Webcomic)/works

Yeah, there aren't a whole lot of fics, the fanbase isn't exactly active in that regard, there is some fan content, but it's mostly just discussing the series.

EDIT: Should probably gon on the subreddit or just make an account and ask questions on the site the webcomic is posted on if you want to learn about the mechanics of the setting. Also, all of the fics on SB only have a small handful of chapters at best, and haven't updated since at least 2019.

I… did it. Badly. And I got a lot of complaints about "not enjoying the comic the right way", though there were some very helpful answers.

Reddit being reddit.

Eh, I didn't think of that!

Thanks for the suggestions, they'll be great for my muse!
 
They must have lost some braincells while traveling. Like, why the hell are you even saying that to her face. In person. She could just pimp slap them into non existence. This is the same girl that saw a 1 v 5ish between the rulers of the universe and went "Fuck it, I'm in."

'Cause they haven't really internalized that?

Preem Nand knew Allison as an In Waaaaaaaaay Over Her Head Girl getting dragged around by an angel and with basically nothing but a Key in her head.

001 saw her as some pitiful thief that got to the heart of Yre that if she personally wasn't about to murder, it would be her own teammate.

Vash saw her as that "In over her head" girl at first and then later saw her as a brawler that, yes did clean out his bar but also got her shit pushed in by K I L L B O S S until she got bailed out by White Chain.

The rest don't really know her at all by anything other than reputation and who have at least two allies who probably told them that her rep is inflated as fuck and Allison mostly gets by via dumb luck and strong allies.


Incubus may or may not have warned them that she's been hitting the gym since they last saw her, but how seriously they take that is another matter entirely.

Besides the one's Fenrir listed there's also Reach Heaven Through Justice (Young Justice/K6BD). Wouldn't surprise me to learn there were a few others that don't have tags related to K6BD either.
 
What's better, the Godship of Godships that arrives like a boss to take on triple-digit count of ships made from dead gods, loaded with best artillery a demiurge ruling 111 111 worlds can give it

or

one noodle seller/ex-swordseller?


With the previous godship armada for Allison, it's like, ok, the point is that they give whatever they can to forestall the apocalypse. Even if it is a little. Even if they're just gnats. Even if all together they're going to buy maybe two seconds. Because it is the best they can do.

But well, Incubussy is a bishie sword saint. He knows these things. He learned that same cutting art, and can back it up with a key.

It seems like the giant of giant ships cost him tons of time to get. If he knows it will go down in ten seconds under expected opposition...It's almost pointless. Like, why bother? Is this the best he can do, truly? It seems like he'd have used his time better to take on even just one loyal disciple to train in sword arts.


KSBD is sometimes a world of cardboard, sapients of steel situation. Not on the low level, but as things get closer to top granite becomes styrofoam. The rulers would want to have their palaces, subject to thine aesthetics. Rulership of faceless tortured slaves for its own sake. But I don't think Jagganoth will care one iota unless you revive the gods making up ships.


Maybe its a thing where Krillin moments don't quite work in reverse, with heroes. Not without taking time to estabilish Krillin as meaningful.



...See, the berserkers could be good, if they would engage Maya in series of one-on-one honorable duels. Take advantage of narrative logic against your foes and all. Buying time. Shame he seems to discarded all notions of individuality in servants present before, if only as threads to manipulate with.

And they won't be sword saints - otherwise he'd have them as the artillery batteries.



I haven't read all deep KSBD lore. And the art is amazingly beatiful as ever. But the story/worldbuilding here doesn't work for me...Even Allisons explanation to the readers doesn't satisfy me. Because he should have done better if that was his goal. Yet, I don't think Incubus is quiet quitting.
 
I found 5-142 fun.

It's all "I wonder who is better between the armies? One was smart enough to bring a gun to a knifefight, does everyone have one on their hip? Somebody who does lift probably has good chances against a single regular man in a duel, no question, but in a frontline clash a disciplined, organized, trained group could use group tactics while the pained, sanity-deficient berserkers would get in each others' way and perform worse than expected if you just measured who can lift more....

Oh hey, they were sane enough to bring a robo-dragon! Wait, bank-lizard relative. That's some serious sharpness x muscle power to rip through something thicker than its own leg like that-

*blink*

Holy -! What happened to square-cube law?

Alas, poor mechalizard, should have set you up with flamethrower instead. Mobile artillery platform, perchance.

...*incredulous* Does this muscle-obese hill run barefoot on a battlefield? Release the legos!"

And, y'know, it's not really like, "that'll show him!". Because see my previous post.

But without key bearers directly on the page, it's a fun conflict.

None of these people will ever reach heaven. But, see the little tribes dance. Reminds me a little when Allison having proper martial artist stance, taught by White Chain, mattered, even if truthfully that was perhaps still beyond this.



...I couldn't be an artist, though. Too impatient. On a quick count, there are 59 bodies/faces on this page, excluding silhouettes. Geez. That probably took over two dozen hours to draw. Cannot give a sense of scale without actually showing the scale, but it's not like a win for one army will affect more than which queen enters the battlefield first to sweep the winners' men away.

Hang on, actually, if these are the men - and they are - then where are the women?
 
"You can see that White Chain is a low ranked Ki Rata user because she has to say the technique names out loud, but maybe this is just her thing."

"Many have asked me why Ki Rata insists on flashiness. There are certainly more conservative styles that focus on efficient and useful practice of internal force. The answer is simple: the lower ranked techniques must be slow enough to be observed by the naked eye, and ferocious enough to completely obliterate thought of opposition. They are exceedingly gentle, and aimed at the conservation of life for those remaining. If you were targeted by a higher ranked technique, you would have not have time to even feel fear."

You know, when Abbadon said the wheel smashing lord, i didn't think he meant it literally smashing in a wheel.
