I feel like I should know what's going on. But I honestly can't remember what happened last in the Lucca arc.

All these new comics. My head is spinning.

The Guardian Legend - By Red Silvers (VLP): Our Red Silvers continues to find the weirdest worksafe pictures of the game's protagonist, a plane that transforms into a waifu.

Super Metroid - By Red Silvers (VLP): I think it's safe to say at this point, that Samus ain't leaving her suit once Red Silvers finally gets around the finishing this game.

Fantastic Dizzy - By Red Silvers (VLP): Fresh off his recent run of Super Metroid, Red Silvers tackles yet another, err... classic? (Egg-scuse me for being confused about Red Silvers' next choice.)

The last comic in this arc was November 20th, 2004. That means it was the last comic in the archives when I first read the comic before joining the forum.

It also means it has been a ridiculously long time.

So yeah, I'm not sure why you would expect yourself to really remember, unless you read through the archives every year for fun.

I'd say my insane trivia memory makes me remember better than most, but I should probably archive binge to get everything straight. Gato wants to destroy Alex's pants. Luca was the Mistress of Flame, but she powered down when she remembered Robo. Milon Z is the Eater of Dreams, an agent of the Sovereign who appeared after Milon bungled the mission to replace the Mysidian Elder. The Masamune, forged by the Dream Stone, is powerful (probably with Alpha energy) enough to kill EoD. But Mistress of Flames shot Frog before he could do so.

Mhh, in Chrono Cross, the unloved sequel to Chronotrigger, the Masamune is an accursed blade that apparently's killed many many many many people, and made its wielders do horrible horrible things.

But who knows where this is going. Maybe there's a contrived theory that the Masamunei s the cause of so much torment... whatever the logic, my personal truth is this:

The Masamune is <3.

Chrono Cross is no longer the future, remember; The Sovereign specifically says that once it was Schala's fate to be saved by a boy named Serge, but that fate is gone now.

Always in motion, is the future.

What a ride, I can't believe how long it's been before getting back to this arc XD

What I found interesting about today's page, Purple-flavored Gato almost says something worrisome, before reconsidering and presenting Lucca with another attempt to sway her.

It will be interesting to see what the aftermath of this battle, that's for sure.

I'm more intrigued by the fact that while the blade's energy is colored green, the controller is purple. We've seen this before with the super-scope and purple lightning (when it blasted Daos and Gades).

I think Green is Alpha energy, aka Hope (like the wave Megaman released), whereas Purple is Omega Energy, aka Sorrow.

Why the Equipment has Omega energy is indeed intreguing- is Sorrow/Omega Energy associated with Reality, and Hope/Alpha Energy with Video Games? Is it Kevin/Alex? Is it simply that Light made the Scope and Controller, and his Omega energy leaked into them? Is the energy from Alex being in a party with a stage-3 Touched leaking out of his stuff?

The simplest explanation for the Eater referring to the Masamune as accursed is that it hurts. He is the Eater of Dreams, and the Masamune can destroy him.

I'm going to have to reread the whole arc to check if the Eater of Dreams is still talking backwards.
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

I'd rather bank on it being corrupted by being within Gato while he was being touched.

Uh... yeah.

Whether that means that the device is currently vulnerable to being destroyed in a Posi-Emotion/Nega-Emotion explosion, that it was always vulnerable, or that Milon Dream Eater is misreading the energy implications (or just plain being a jerk) I guess will be revealed later.

Then again, were there any official Nintendo-Produced alternate controllers for the SNES? (If so, the destruction of the Masamune is quite likely.)

And Nafael: Whadda ya mean Masamune is less than 3? :grin:
It's a flimsy pretext, but I'm sure that the N-Team have gotten away with worse.

I think its interesting that Gato isn't acting on this own to destroy the controller. That very fact that he convince Lucca suggest he is not as in control as he seems.

And dear god have I been checking this site on and off for 10 years. How times flies these storyline seems so recent until you look at the date on them.

How is the EoD talking backwards?

I think Spriteless is confused. EoD is Shard-infected. Not looking towards the future, so not talking backwards.

Also, maybe an outtake, maybe important: When Frog attacked the Eater, the Masamune gave off red energy (symbolizing the Dreamstone), not green (symbolizing Alpha energy). Red energy also symbolizes the Gamemaster's influence, so maybe that's conneced. I'm curious whether JayDee will shut down fruitless speculation like this or not (by saying that it should have been green, or that it was for the Dreamstone).

I hate to do this, but I reread the arc (which I should have done a couple days ago as an editor), and Lucca's dialogue in the first panel doesn't match up with her dialogue right before the cut to Bitch Tits.
