Um, how is he pulling that off of her?
If you can’t remove the bound armor, remove the arm.
*gasp!*
This is not going to go how he thinks
What, you mean it’s possible to take it off?
Almost certainly not
Perhaps it’s only possible for it to be removed. The wearer can’t take it off. Another mystery.
Grabbing your opponent’s off-hand like that is a fantastic way to get stabbed in the chest.
Possible outcomes (of many)
1. Roundhouse right to the nose
2. Uppercut left to the chin (lights out!)
3. The gauntlet flys around and beets them both up
4. Mara does just fine without it 😸
Have you been to snorkblot on reddit? It’s the new IAB.
If they’d attacked like five minutes earlier, I’d be more worried for Marah. But they waited too long and now she’s got her game face on.
He’s not trying to tear off Marah’s entire arm, is he?
Maybe he read the manual, and knows where the off-switch is…
If she was a more skilled combatant, she would just snatch the sword that he dropped and quickly chop his head off.
As a martial artist with some experience with swords and hand to hand looking at this…
panel 1 he must be really bad with a sword to miss that shot. Torsos move much slower than swords. Which would boost her odds, if they were not already at 100% due to being a protagonist.
panel 2. this is the correct response to that failed attack. In a fight between humans, she would win at this point.
panel 3. why did she let go of his sword arm? She should have just kept on hitting him.
panel 4. He dropped his sword, then used his sword hand to grab her far shoulder which is on the other side of her throat from him. It would have been far, far easier to cut her throat instead. So maybe he doesn’t want to kill her? Or he’s just really bad with swords and doesn’t think to use them for what they are meant for.
