Episode 563: We Could strap dynamite to our heads and roll around in fire!!

[Michael Morris]

Hee hee hee - This one was a hoot.

Ok, so any guesses to how many episodes it takes before Bahamut shows up? And which of these idiots is going to tick him off the most?

[Skyshot]

Er, only Kurosen gets to make new comic threads now (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showthread.php?t=10461). Sorry.

[Michael Morris]

Ok, missed the memo. Guess I should have poked around a bit when there still wasn't a new thread after 20 minutes and figured out why...

[Kurosen]

My fault. Been editing Nuklear Age and let the time get away from me. This one's fine.

[Klyco]

Hehhee, there goes fighter casting drain again. And apparently Sarda IS trying to kill them. That or he's talking to WM.

[Carnivore]

Heh. It was pretty funny. Still, I do wonder what the mission is... Well, I KNOW what the mission is. But Red Mage's reaction was damn funny.

[Skyshot]

Come to think of it, Red Mage has some mixed emotions ahead of him. On the one hand, there's so much experience and stats and all things good to him to be had from class changing, but on the other hand, it involves dragons. His last encounter with a dragon did not go well.

Poor Red Mage. No wonder he's so terrified right now.

Don't miss the next exciting episode of Pokemon!

BM has seen enough death in his life (including his own) to have enough courage to brave the coming dragon threat in order to get his soon to be unimaginable powers. And if you look at it, it's really a win-win situation. He survives, he changes classes. He dies, he takes over Hell and the living world loses a serial killer. Everyone wins.

BM is going to Hadoken something, I know it.

[Trixbeat]

The missions seem to increase in danger. I have a feeling RM is changing his mind about Sarda being a "reliable mission contact".

Oh come on, that's like saying Nader is gonna lose the next election.

;)

Todays comic actually made me laugh out loud, something rarely done. :p

But I think that Red Mage had the right idea. ^_^

[Loyal]

RM is very funny in tense situations! XD

[mammothtank]

Would you believe I actually understood what Fighter said in the fifth panel? Here's how it goes: According to Fighter, the only time Fighter and Black Mage are thinking along the same lines is when Fighter isn't talking. As soon as Fighter starts talking, his thought processes switch to reverse gear and he says the opposite of what both he and Black Mage were thinking.

Howzat!

Holy crap... it all makes sense now. So when Fighter talks, it is the opposite of what he thinks. Uhhh, wouldn't he have to think about something other than swords in the first place? BM doesn't think about swords.

Even if RM does have reservations about Sarda, he will never pass up the chance for XP. The best the other LW can hope for is that they somehow put some miles between RM and Sarda before he gets them all killed.

(Must not go absolutely berserk at yet another person who thinks of Fighter as stupid... Must control anger...)

Never happened. Sorry I forgot. He is absolutely, positively, 100% naive. Sorry, just needed something to add to that post. Edititing it now...

[konnor]

does he know that hes saying the exact opposite of what he's saying?

[Skyshot]

To my knowledge, it's never been established that Fighter isn't stupid, just that he's smarter than the other Light Warriors. He could be stupid and smarter than the others.

Sometime, I'm going to work out that one sentence of Fighter's for myself. Re-write it and see what he's getting at. If it can be done.

[Medeo]

Wait, so Fighter actually dislikes swords, since he says the opposite of what he's thinking?

Nothing is real anymore! :eek:

So he's like that episode of Sienfeld

[mammothtank]

I never said they were always thinking the same thing; merely that whenever they are, if Fighter speaks, it sounds like the opposite of what it was supposed to be.

[Zero_LD]

I feel so...
enlightened.

it's way past time for a hadoken.

[PyrosNine]

Sometimes I get the feeling everyone would be happy if Bm hadoken'd something every comic. Honestly! Why do you think Brian made it so he could only do it once a day? Because It gets old, quickly!

[Bizzaro_Exdeath]

What?! No, that's not what Fighter meant. When he said, "What it is you aren't saying," he was, of course, referring to those sarcastic remarks that Black Mage wanted to say, but didn't. Therefore, Fighter's statement was rather contradictory to Black Mage's, as he stated that he wasn't thinking that sarcastic remark that Black Mage was thinking, while Fighter was saying it. However, that could be justified by saying that if by "What it is you aren't saying", Fighter really meant the depth and truth of his thought - so as to say that Black Mage was in depth, thinking, "we won't do anything to help" - meaning that Fighter's true opinion usually concurs to Black Mage's when he doesn't talk. However, that is obviously not true, since Fighter usually doesn't have the opinion that certain annoyances should be burned to a crisp, or stabbed to death, thus outlining Fighter's naivety in that he thinks that in his silence, he shares Black Mage's thoughts, when in truth, Black Mage's thoughts are usually much darker. Therefore, to summarize, Fighter thinks he's always in agreement with Black Mage whenever he stays silent, but in truth, their thoughts differ more than Fighter knows.

Episode 553: Faces of Evil
Something to back up the opposite thinky claim.

Also I believed BM already used his Hadoken:
Episode 544: Taking Aim

'Cause. you know, coming face to face with dragons wasn't already hard enough

[PhasmaRok]

All this specualution about Fighter and his words make me hurt in my thinking-place.
Ow.
Nice comic, though. Seems that Sarda is getting more blatant about his attempts to kill the LWs.

[PyrosNine]

What do you expect in a world where the heroes are more villainous than the villains, that the guide of the heroes be no less evil?

I'm guessing what he wanted to do was to kill the light warriors and control their dead corpses to do his bidding. Because when they're alive they barely get the job done.

[MetalPsycho]

I don't think he even cares if the job IS done at this point.

And as for Fighter's speach, I'm not even sure why he brought it up, let alone what it ment.

[Zeig]

I remembers when BM and Theif school a whole lotta dwarfs in the dwarf kingdom... just for fun (hehehe how deliciously evil) and even the princess is evil ,no help to King Steve (hehehe o that king steve). The only Character i dont understand is Sarda is he evil or good? he did create the universe afterall... but he does try to kill poeple, hmmm. This was a funny one nonetheless... hehehe strap dynamites to their heads and role around in fire. Brilliant.

[Kima Azure]

He's bored of Eternity, and White Mage made him insane without knowing. He's having a bad life.

[Loyal]

School the dwarves? That's an obscenely vast understatement... Hell, they even went as far as burning the towns in an order that would spell out "You are next". In cursive. How farking awesomely evil is THAT?

[Trixbeat]

Despite their great evilness, the LW actually managed to retrieve various orbs one way or the other. Yep, doing the right things for the wrong reasons.

[Bizzaro_Exdeath]

Why would Sardra spend 700 years explaining the semantics of sacrifice to Black Mage if he didn't care about their lives at all? Perhaps he's faking his intent to have them dead only to build up their motivation to live (spite-wise).
