Houseki no Kuni - Ch. 89 - Enma

3rd eye?? faded?

bruh he looks like tarzan compared to his younger "four eyes nerd" self
 
Of course, the Judge of the dead doesn't like immortals.

Since they are robbing him of his job.
 
I'm really uncomfortable, albeit curious with how this chapter casts Achmea as essentially a Bodhisattva - he choose to stay behind in the suffering of the universe rather than be freed through enlightenment (Adamant's prayers) in order to care for and guide other beings to that same point.

His real name also casts him as the Judge of the Dead though, so I wonder just how much of a part he played in determining the "caste system" the Lunarians used to decide their place in line. The context we learned this chapter explains much of why the current Lunarians have such loyalty towards him, however.
 
Writer: "Oh btw here is a crap ton of exposition, lore and bombshells in one chapter... see you in two months"
Readers: "Wait what!?"
 
mad lad Ichikawa really just exposition dumped us huh, nice to know the ice floes are actually actively malicious too
10/10 chapter for having no Phos suffering content
 
Remind me again what is "Enma", that keeps appearing in japanese histories and I keep forgetting.
