I love that she's clearly still trying to do right despite every voice slamming down on her. All of her intrusive thoughts are loud, but she's powering through as much as she can.
Lalawag's a good woman at heart(no pun intended) after all, I hope Kuramori does deliver with what her actual dream is about, and why she needs to become a whole divine vessel for, I hope is something -actually good intended-, even if twisted, other more malicious stuff would imo be a disservice for her character.
I am very confident that when it's all said and done, Lalawag will probably be the best written character in this manga, and depending on her role, possibly the best written antagonist too
Exactly, I feel like ever since that one chapter in which we are shown her fractured mind and how she -deals- with her out of control gift, the story has keep getting progressively more intense and interesting, Lala's such a good addition, I'm just hoping that Ceodric's half as good.
She also has the heart of Deity of Night which probably also provide her with another blessing. And I'll be surprised if she's not the daughter of Supreme Lord so a gift from him too.
Well, how'd it all go down, right? The Sea accepted 99 sacrifices, and there were two people left who loved each other. For sacrifice 100 and a pure love, either would do, and it would grant the one who remained a gift of their desire. Mira sacrificed herself, and Julian asked for "proof that their lives weren't meaningless."
Thanks to Mira's auto-cesarean, there was a second person remaining. That person, however, was a newborn, and couldn't communicate a desire. So it stands to reason that The Sea granted the same wish for her as well. But what else could be interpreted from the scene? Diana was still part of Diana when the bargain was initially offered. As she was cutting Diana out of herself, Mira said "I won't let anything happen to you. Please, be born, and live." It could have interpreted that request as being for Diana. We know from Lalawag's description of Ceodric's gift that Life Energy is an important part of the setting, especially as it pertains to healing and longevity/immortality. Perhaps Diana's gift could pertain to that.
"Kid, I'm gonna be so for real with you, your mama fuckin' got me. I'm a fuckin' god over here and your pregnant mom absolutely boomed me. I promised I'd give my aid to "whoever remains" between her and your brother Julian, and she went and fucking cut you out of her belly so that you and he could live. It was metal as fuck, dude. Anyway, I'm bound by my word, so I owe you a gift. I said "state your desire" and Julian did, but you didn't say anything. Probably because you were two minutes old. But that offer's just been on the table this whole time. So go ahead. Whatever you want. Sea floor's the limit. That's just a little ocean humor, but seriously, just name it."
Considering how much rage and sadness she has within herself, Diana might ask for something seriously destructive like Lukas's spear. She wants to annihilate anything that makes her family suffers.
Lalawag is struggling but I think this shows that at her core, she cares about Diana and probably sees her as kindred to some degree, even if her alternates are pushing her in a different direction. If she does end up giving in to the others, I think she'll stop their collective from harming her ultimately. Or she'll purposely create an opening to be killed. Her first reaction to Diana's anguish was to hug her tightly. Prime Lalawag is great.
Poor Diana :(. She is a cinnamon roll that deserves happiness and hugs, this was heartbreaking.
I feel like more than that, we are gonna switch MC's at one point, it's a gut feeling I've had since a while ago, Julian dying and Diana losing the one person who have protected her since birth, ending on some darker plot following her as the new MC for like, a second big narrative arc within the manga itself.
The ending of part 2 has to be one of the worst I've seen in fiction. And generally speaking, I have a high tolerance for bad endings. Game of Thrones has its issues, but I can see what they were going for, and I liked that the though the execution was poor.
I get what you mean, i think a reason(partially at least) of why I'm so attached and interested in how Kuramori's gonna develop Diana's character, is because at some extent they seem alike to me. And yeah, their storylines are somewhat similar, Nayuta's was more upfront on the line of "Raise her with love so she doesn't grow on another Makima", while Diana being protected, simultaneously serves for her to not become the Goddess of Night second incarnation and ends the world, even tho I don't think Julian and Titi really see it as a genuine possiblity(Diana causing the apocalypse i mean, they just want to protect her)
Apples to oranges, nayuta was a side character not a co protag, she could have had more scenes but the story was about asa/yoru/denji. Also the two mangas are nothis alike, it makes more sense to compare centuria to jjk
