327 – Blind
Gaia is out of the fight, those old trusty glasses have finally been lost, and we see yet another glipmse of Saki’s past. Will she be able to triumph against this game-breaking opponent?
If anyone wants to see the unblurred picture of Marie-Lune…

Saki might want to consider carrying a spare pair of glasses. Or maybe a half dozen. In her line of work broken glasses are a likelihood.
Where could she carry them that they wouldn’t still be at risk of breaking? Cases tend to be bulky…
Laser eye surgery is expensive but it might just be worth it…
Or, you know, contact lenses.
Contacts seem to bring bad luck in the Frivolesque universe. Laser eye surgery doesn’t seem to exist at all. ;)
So the glasses fetish in the Frivoverse was so prevalent that it it has set eye-surgery back several decades?
Yup. They have advanced cloning technologies and the means to create superhuman soldiers, but lasik was never discovered. XD
And they can even give their clones eyes that can adapt to glasses in an instant, but have no means of helping Saki out. XD
Well, at least they have contact lenses for anyone who wishes to commit blasphemy. But I guess Saki can’t use those due to her glasses-related personality-disorder.
As much as I want Saki to whoop her, I have concerns about whether she can at this point…
That Gaia is lying motionless after just one blow is pretty concerning.
Where brute force fails, the precise cut may yet prevail.
It was a very poweful strike aimed directly at her head though.
Hence the concern
Daniel here. I’m guessing Gaia didn’t dodge as much as she should have, thinking her crazy endurance, resilience & regeneration would let her take the blow & press the attack. However it also seems ML isn’t a stock standard Human & was able to hit much harder than Gaia expected. Saki had Martial Arts training plus seeing Gaia go down on her side & was able to move to at least lessen the blow, which is why she’s still standing & not dealing with a shattered skull…
Saki can still see speech bubbles, she can just slash at them.
Oh! Right, she could use that!
Battle of Surigao Strait. The USS Mississippi did not have the updated radar of her consorts. But she could range on their shell splashes…
Even blurry, M-L seems a solid enough target. The crowbar being nigh invisible is a problem though.
Okay, that’s interesting: Both received a blow to the head and Gaia is the one not getting up anymore? Looke like M-L held back against Saki.
Also I love the unblurred panel of her ojou-sama laughter. :-)
Yeah, I figure Tisiphone underestimates Saki. A lot.
She should’ve reevaluated her, considering how Saki already took a beating from a Titan — and is still back on her feet and swinging!
I dunno. It would be good for Saki, but so far M-L has shown the ability to back up her big mouth. And if Saki were to defeat M-L, then there would be nothing left to do for Laurence.
To say nothing of Conroy.
Conroy can call in the medical & cleanup teams after the fight is over (someone needs to).
Whether or not Conroy will have an appearance, I’m fine with it either way. :-)
Daniel the Human seems to think Gaia took more of the hit cause she thought it wouldn’t be as hard as it was, while Saki dodged & blocked it enough to not get a crushed skull. I think Marie-Lune was aiming for Saki’s glasses the whole time, just to be really evil & step on them…
Well, I just rechecked the previous comic and judging from the sound effect it looks like Saki blocked most of the force with her sword.
Yeah. Gaia ate a full baseball swing on the noggin. Saki only suffered from a glancing strike.
Wait, so Daniel the Human was right & I was wrong? Bugger… :(
He did point out even Wolverine was knocked out a few times when he took decent hits before his regeneration woke him out…
Is Saki about to pull an Airbender on us and fight by reading the air currents against her skin? ‘Cause that’d be awesome. :D
Go Saki! kick her ass!
Aha! We are having that zen moment! Training flashback and sudden understanding! The Bride smashing through the casket redux!
But maybe she will get her butt kicked anyway?
Ah, so M-L was enhanced, not created from scratch. And Saki was given the same opportunity but declined.
I wonder if that “enhancement” did something to her brain. And I don’t even just mean turning her evil or something, but that typical villainous dawdling instead of killing her enemies fast and efficiently.
Oh well, one shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. The longer it takes, the better the chances for Saki and Gaia. Conroy is probably on his way, Iapetus may be on his way. And unbeknownst to them Liliane, Flore and Laurence are on their way.
The only thing missing is Clementine jumping out behind M-L and hitting her with a frying pan.
( The clear picture) Oh my god! Its Naga the Serpent. Everyone cover their ears or you will be driven mad!
