Jagganoth wants a world free of time and death.

Gog is alone for endless cycle repeats.

Allison is the first person Gog couldn't fully absorb.

Allison eats everyone via worms.

Allison protects their minds from Gog.

Everyone is now immortal with full memory of the cycles.

Jagganoth's dream is complete: violence is now at best meaningless because nobody can really die, time is irrelevant because everyone gets to squirm around the cycles indefinitely

Metatron is happy because all life is reunited into one being thus reconstructing Yisun.

Allison technically 'dies' when the cycle resets fulfilling jadis's prophecy.

Himself gets his wish because Allison remembers to eat him when she takes the worm of heaven.

Cio comes back in the next cycle. keep dreaming

Worms solve the ending of ksbd

I read KSBD in a single night and it was really good! So there's that. I'll read it again though, some other time.

First off, I think I am incapable of finding good shounen lately. Of course, philosophical and religious musings are a bit 'high-brow' for your average shounen, never mind for a story, but come on, after all the cool fights and aura farmings, your work should have something to say! Right? Like I'm just not insane here, guys.

But comparing KSBD to a shounen is blasphemy, anyway.

Where was I again? Oh right, Chainsaw Man Part 1, of course. The part of that manga whose author didn't yet lose all his enthusiasm due to burnout. In CSM, there was a character named Makima, the Devil of Conquest. She killed people without blinking, utterly unhinged due to her nature, and cried while watching a movie in a near-empty theater. She would do that, Miss Horseman of Conquest, because having all that power doesn't really exempt her from the fact that she wants someone to be there beside her. Someone who would hug her completely of their own volition. And so she cries.

KSBD does this very openly! All(except one) demiurges have their own sorrows, their past that binds them to the ground. Mottom with her trauma, which made her more cowardly than every being of the Wheel, Mammon's dementia made him forget that he was supposed to have excised all manners of empathy within him, and regret picks upon his corpse. Even the God of Red, who once was defiled by violence, and who was infinite in violence and worshipped it, let that violence take away his mother's face and the warmth of bread, and let it shape his worldview so utterly complete that he wants to destroy the world. I can go on with Incubus (Abijah Fowler), Jadis (self-explanatory), Maya (Someone here wrote something along the lines of 'She is attempting to write the longest suicide note in the multiverse'), and dare I say even JISUN. Yes, JISUN had also suffered.

These are warmongering, powerful gods amongst gods who have lived for centuries and even then it was not enough. Even their names and titles will not save them. Suffering does not care that they have murdered billions and ruled millions, it doesn't care about the inklings of Royalty that they know, nor their ability to create energy out of nothing. It will come for them, and they will suffer.

The only one that doesn't fit this description is Gog-Agog. I don't know why. There was supposed to be a backstory, but I am doubtful that even she would give a shit anymore. She's the most I don't give a shit character I've seen, and perhaps the only one who is untethered to anything but the cycle. She has stopped being mortal completely. Maybe Alison gets to boss her around, but you know, she's the God of Suffering, like of course.

As you can see, this type of character study makes me happy much wow.

Thoughts on the design? It's pretty basic but I'm not sure what size I want to go for so I kept it relatively simple.

I like how Abbadon has stylized some of the text to indicate different voices speaking.

10 Vigilant Gaze in my head sounds sonorous and imposing, and My Pal Gog-Agog has an annoyingly nasal, whiny Brooklyn accent.

Mottom shrieking PERISH has more than one guttural voice show up in my head, like in a horror movie about demons, but her normal voice is seductive and smooth.

White Chain also has a smooth voice, but it echoes supernaturally, like it's spoken in a huge stone room.

If my understanding is correct:
- metatron wants to force another cosmic reset, probably in hopes of resurrecting God. Apparently he’s done this a lot.
- Zoss learned important info from Met that he used to become King
- Zoss seems to want to break the cycle by choosing Allison? Right?

So, Apparently Zoss is also being used/manipulated by Met (to suit Metatron’s goals) - but how so?

Presumably Allison is the wildcard here. Does Mets want Zoss to nominate Zaid in order to complete some prerequisite for the reset?
