A little on the nose there, Harky... and a little on the chin, too, from the looks of it. And the teeth. And the cheek. And the EYE...

    Harky having his own little berserker moment here, it seems. Guess he picked up a trick or two from Byron.

    The war isn’t about establishing peace, its about survival.

      But Penk has introduced a new goal: peace. Harky’s letting him in on the dark side of maintaining the peace.

        Very Machiavellian (in the “learning-to-be-not-good sense, not in the petty scheming sense).

    A poor leader knows how to use a spectacle to distract his enemies and unite his people.

    A good leader knows how to use a spectacle to turn his enemies into his people.

    A great leader can be the spectacle AND use it this way at the same time.

    Penk’s mistake was assuming the fight was over before the loot dropped.

      I bet Harky drops something orange. Hopefully not a gun that screeches and slows you down to a halt.

    BTW, are we still in Manga/Anime mode? ‘Cause if so, then I’m assuming Penk got a gander at Harky’s loins in panel 2. Which caused the massive nosebleed in panel 4.

    Si vis pacem, para bellum “If you want peace, prepare for war”…Harky is pounding that lesson into Penk extra hard.

    Even in the midst of fighting him to the death, Harky is still trying to teach Penk lessons. Class act, I gotta say.

      Gravity waits patiently for juggling combos to end.

      Seems like it should be possible to take advantage of this physics edge case to reduce the fuel requirements for space launches…

        “Well, we don’t think the fuel and lift are sufficient to reach orbit alone, no, but by leveraging Anime Fight Physics, we think we can do it. We’re just trying to figure out how to explain to the other astronauts why Punchy McSmashurface is really on the mission….”

    I would love to scream that he is wrong… but fuck he is right. It seems like he is trying to beat the naivete out of his little protege…

    There will always be people who will threaten the peace you work for. There will always be those for whom personal ambition and pride are more important than a good life for all. So yeah, Harky’s got a point.

    Harky does have a point. It is rather peaceful if you kill everyone that might bother you.

    I just love that drum attack in panel 1. That answers the question of how a drummer uses his drum as a weapon and makes it look AWESOME.

    Delightful work gentlemen. Glorious art with well designed fight choreography, says I. A feast for the eyes. And the dialog, in the last panel in particular, does not disappoint. Bravo.

    Hmmm. I wish to think Harky’s decision to grab with the gauntlet hand and punch with the bare hand is a deliberate leniency on his part. He is more interested in educating his disciple than hurting him, even as he MUST cause some serious pain in such a match.
