    Arjuna has split personality issues, so when he decides to try and remedy the situation regardless of method used, he succumbs to his Krishna personality, and Arjuna is considered dead technically.

    If the Pandavas won in the LB, then where the hell are Arjuna's brothers? I'm gonna assume he up and killed them all if and when they protested his insane idea like how the Lion King killed those members of the Round Table who opposed her.

    Now that I think about it, Arjuna Alter is pretty similar to the Lion King in some respects.

    His brothers and friends are mostly dead thanks to the war and from the vengeance from the family of those defeated.

    Is Ashwatthama a living human or a Servant in the Lostbelt? In Hinduism proper he's one of those cases like Hanuman where he's "still alive" and is just wandering around somewhere, so I figured it'd be the former. Did he never get that immortality in the LB and have to get a different form of it from Arjuna or something?

    That explains most of the army, but in Pan-Human History, even with all the revenge accounted for, the Pandavas still survived until their attempt to reach Heaven.

    Arjuna actually got Brahma power as well. He mentioned it after you defeat him

    Karna on the other hand got the help from Vishnu and Shiva, with him being Surya

    So basically Vishnu + Shiva + Surya vs Brahma + Indra + other Hindu Gods

    It was due to Krishna's power. He basically got Krishna's power first, which is originated from Vishnu. And due to Vishnu's nature and power, he then absorbed Shiva, then Brahma, and then Indra, according to Pepe. We also saw him giving out powers of several other minor gods to his servants such as Vayu (for Tell), Yama (for Asclepius), Kubera (for Nezha) and able to control the Kali demons and some other holy beasts.

    Ashwatthama is Pepe's servant, but unfortunately Arjuna Alter hijacked and used the information to summon Nezha, Tell, Asclepius. He got the immortality as a curse, the same Krishna curse like he got in his legend and was forced to work for Arjuna Alter.

    The difference here is that Watcher Asclepius is not in any class container whatsoever.

    Wait, hold up. Arjuna Blanco deleted Vihan?

    Araki really did write this chapter.

    So the LB wasn't initially like this when Pepe arrived, and Arjuna Alter only wreaked havoc afterwards?

    The fact that Nasu went out of his way to write Ooku just to set up this should make it a pretty obvious deduction

    Also I love Pepe lol. As pretty Ophelia / Hinako are they are absolutely pale when compared to him in term of entertainment
    Ofc. Those girls are pretty serious and grim

    I guess Ganesha, Kama and Alakshmi all escaped Arjuna's feeding frenzy?

    Ganesha and Alakshmi escaped at a cost. Kama escaped because he was too busy resetting the world to pay attention to her.

    The chapter is good, but waiting 9 months with barely any content in between wasn't worth it, no matter how good the chapter was. If they had at least offered more things while we waited, then perhaps, but these 9 months were really boring except for the Ooku event perhaps.

    Really, DW should consider if they want to keep on creating such a schedule in the future.

    I like how all of Arjuna Alter's skills other than the ones datamined for his servant version have max chuuni names:

    - Super Composite Divinity: the passive buff that he always has. At the start it makes you deal 0 damage + debuffs immunity + invul pierce permanant. But later on as we broke down his mask and reduced the worship of people of the LB to him, it changed to Super Composite Divinity (Ruin) and the amount of damage reduction is less and less, he also lost the perma invul pierce.

    - Eradication Act: perma attack up.

    - Zenith of creation and destruction: full gauge NP charge.

    - Transcended Divine Authority: party buff removal + defense down.

    - Blade of Judgment: Invul pierce, NP damage up, NP charge 1 gauge.

    - All Gods, One Body: Atk and crit rate up.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And yes I'm still stuck on his final fight so I write down these shits for fun. Not gonna use a quartz or CS, will find ways to deal with it.

    The interactions between the casts are fun from what I read so far. Though I did notice that Da Vinci likes to enigmatically monologue in this chapter hmm.

    He doesn't, since at least he give some respect that he is too stiff and by the rules. He really hates Zeus and Apollo though, at least that is what I get from his lines.
