I feel like some kind of game changing event that shakes up the entire throne is about to happen.

Alison is gonna do something stupid like decide she wants to talk to Himself.

Alison's crown doesn't come from confidence, it comes from resolve. Fake confidence doesn't give you resolve, it undermines it. And what little she still has is getting chipped away bit by bit.

So far. For the sake of drama, that pattern will have to be interrupted at some point.

Yeah, that's one of the main points of Meti's Sword Manual, as far as I can tell -- confidence cares about winning and erodes if it faces difficulties it can't overcome easily, where resolve doesn't care about winning or losing, just Doing as hard as possible. The weak swordsman clings to victory, and becomes attached to reputation and beauty and their sword; the good swordsman wants only to make each Cut as Platonically perfect an expression of their Will as possible.

I just noticed that Zoss has the White Rabbit's time piece.

He's also made "late" in like the third panel he appears.

Also, there's only been one demon killed so far. Unless the pace is picked up, this is going to take forever!

Even if she killed on average even one a second, starting now, we'd finally get done in about 190 years + change. That's cramming basically the entire background of every panel with tens of thousands of freshly dead demons.

Talk about a long running series

According to the alt-text he's a higher class of Devil than the others sitting on the pillars so he doesn't need to project a halo as a symbol of authority.

So is Allison gonna step up here (and make another horrible decision) and is she going to cower?

they do but it looks like ebon masks are usually the same color as their body and come in an even more diverse number of forms than most types

Huh, so you can be blue-masked demon, and still be powerful enough to be part of the inner court. I naturally assumed it would be an ebon/gold exclusive club.

Truly, Eyeballs is a pioneer in showing what one can achieve in spite of your demon caste.

I don't think Eyes is a blue devil. That form reminds me of the pale ones, really, but obviously that's the wrong color. A weird ebon, maybe?

These are all Ebon devils on the Heretic's Court. We've seen all of 2 Ebons before this, and they're much more varied than other devils. With only one name holding them down, they can look like almost anything.

I suspect that would probably kill you. The black flame is insatiable.

The Suffering of the Succotash.
What's interesting is that they don't look like ebon devils. One looks like a human wearing a thorn angel's armor, another looks like a fallen angel, and yet another looks like a hosed up Servant.

I'm guessing but when you are an Ebon devil who subsists on human meat you can look like whatever the gently caress you want

Honestly, the higher a devil gets the less "bound" it seems to be and closer to what they look when unbound - evil angels.

p much, the whole devil heirarchy's never been all that rigid and clear-cut in practice in the comic, and it makes sense that these guys would ignore what loose rules there are for the lesser devils
