First off- I want to shout out Haylo, for managing to guess a little bit about this part coming up XD – Their comment wasn’t 100% correct as will be explained in the next page, but simply guessing I was going to do the ‘becomes small’ trope when they have lost a lot of power was a really good guess! When I first read it I was like “Wow- I can’t believe someone nailed that part this early!” XD
As I said though, more will be explained in the next page! Had to give Yuki and Inari their moment first.
Streaming tonight over at Picarto.tv/SageSaga at 8pm!
When infected mass is cut away, the patient may … be a bit ‘diminished’. But Inari has time to heal and regenerate.
I am betting it was more a case of the Outsider using Inari like a kitsune smoothie. There’s just not so much kitsune left in the cup anymore. But, it’s okay—Mum’s here now.
I wonder just how much of inari’s base power is intact. I am curious if what happened was more akin to a simple power drain, or if it was more like an amputation and what we see is what’s left of inari after the corruption was cut away? Excited to find out ether way!
….. you know after that last flash back to when Phil was a kid exclaiming how much he loved magic, it only just hit me just how ironic that his power is basically the instant delete button for anything magic.
If his power grows to have personality like the magi elementals, at least it will have Phil as a great influence on it!
Because in a universe that seems to literally run on magic like this one, the full power null aspect would basically be the equivalent of thanos with the full infinity gauntlet in terms of power.
