Hello! The summer heat is hitting hard these days, it’s a struggle to even write chapter secrets. But no matter what we must press on! Begin chapter secrets 913!
It’s Obon break next week, so no chapter again unfortunately! Let’s see if I’ll be able to cook up something…

Also, you made a tiny teency typo at the very end where instead of Chapter secrets 913 it says Chapter secrets 912. But hey, that’s just tiny teency insignificant typo, apart from that, you’ve reached perfection.

I think Hawkins strawmen aren’t voodoo dolls, but this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushi_no_toki_mairi

Oooh, that’s interesting! I think voodoo is still involved due to the straw puppets looking so similar to voodoo dolls, but it is true it could also be partially based on that concept

I know this is old and I’m just on a reread, but pretty sure the shoulder damage transfered was from the defeat of his straw avatar, not that the slash kept going and also hit Hawkins, the angle of the slash is identical on the giant straw man

Amazing! You forget a little still important detail: page 13 behind O-Kiku we can see the Kozuki cran on a “flag” outside the tea-house. Another link to the Kozuki clan 😉

Damn you’re right, that’s very sneaky! I find it a bit odd though, wouldn’t that make them persecuted? Perhaps it only partially looks like the Kozuki symbol, to avoid persecution

Yeah I think that too! Maybe it’s the symbol of the tea-house (Tsuru=Crane), but it’s really a clear sign of the legacy between Kuri and its clan.
Off topic: Don’t you think that Hawkins let them escape too easily? maybe he attacked them to show his loyalty to Orochi (his man are present on Hawkins side in this fight) but in reality he’s trying to form an army against Kaido/Shogun..I also noticed that when he talks about the 19% his face looks a bit worried

I am a bit conflicted about Hawkins, on one hand Hawkins might have some ulterior motive to let them live, on the other he really might just suck lol
