Warriors of Tao 3

Things are explained as far as Karma’s motives go, and it turns out that Karma and BJ have a thing going as far as creating the ultimate gladiator goes. The battle royale commences between all the characters on… a spaceship, or something. The only people who are really fighting are Toma against BJ and Karma, though. I anticipate the next volume resolving the fight between the two, but I can’t see it going much farther than that.
The gore continues, though. Toma is really beat up at several points, and the last panel is someone tearing the still-beating heart from someone else’s chest. This series gets an A for overkill as far as gore goes.
Another bonus is that Toma’s girlfriend, the one he’s going through all this for, finally realizes Toma is a gladiator. I think this would take the wind from my sails a bit, doing all this fighting and not having the person realize it, but it doesn’t seem to bother Toma at all.
