Man, that last Traumerei panel really evokes the vibes of: "Fuck it, if y'all really want the smoke so badly, I'm giving you the smoke". He looks so done with the talk. Nothing is going well for him. The threat he made a few minutes ago has been totally ignored already, his proposal to Baam refused, the trifle (Jinsung) that should have been sealed in the Suspendium is out and chilling (so much for calling himself the will of the Tower and a God when he's been outwitted left and right by the same people he deems as inferior in any way, shape or form) and is now having to listen to that same person talking smack about him still being a human. Kraken has been fucked by Yama, someone infiltrated in his Warpship, and he's yet to learn about the whole Suspendium/Leviathan thing.
Glad to see that SIU is going quickly with all the Cat Tower plot. I would lie if I said I cared about it considering what we have on the other main PoVs (Traumerei/Baam/Yama and Gustang/LPB Mothership), but it's something he has to resolve at some point sooner or later, and the sooner the better tbh, considering how shit is about to hit the fan at any moment in the other PoVs. Let's see what SIU pulls to make the Regulars surviving this kind of explosion a bit believable. That aside, Whitegarment and the Hybrider should be the last enemies worth mentioning that are left there if my memory is right, and they aren't even on the same side considering the Hybrider is just a berserk that attacks everything it sees.
Anyways, looks like we're going to finally start going a bit more deeply into the power of the Family Leaders judging by the title of this arc ("10 Family Heads - Disaster/Calamity"). I'm wondering if SIU will showcase only Traumerei or if he will also show bits of Gustang and the LPB Mothership side (since I doubt he came there to chat, let's be real). Both have "respectable" opponents that could serve to showcase their might to at least some extent. Gustang has 14/15 Branch Leaders + the 2 Regents (especially those two), and potentially other powerful figures of the Family (like Robi and perhaps other Top Level Tamers?) as opponents, assuming he won't just go to the Nest through that portal (unlikely IMO). Traumerei has Leviathan Baam, far, far beyond CCs most likely, and Yama who's yet to awaken Acrinak, fully transform and potentially get the Third Fang (?) and who's also already looking beyond the conventional Corps Commanders. I'm wondering what Lybo, Kallavan and Perseus are going to do now, since you know, they're STILL KNEELING in the middle of all this mess (Kallavan in particular has some story with Baam, and Lybo with Dowon and the Hidden Grove Team; Pudidy and Holan could come at any moment as well, assuming they haven't gone beyond the Third Wall to see what exactly has caused all this mess).
Will the Family Heads manage to leave up to their hype, or will they prove to have been overhyped by the fans (including myself, since I have quite high expectations of them)? I guess that by the time this arc ends, we might be starting to have a solid answer to this question. I have one thing pretty clear though: regardless of the outcome, this arc has the potential to be incredibly important for the powerscale of the series. I hope SIU doesn't drop the ball and makes this arc title live up to its hype.
