Guys. Andromeda Shun.
What.
WHAT.
I’m used to the insanity and non-sequitors that this series loves to dish out. I know that this particular revelation is either going to turn out to be not true, or a temporary condition. But even so. SHUN? The biggest wuss? We haven’t even seen Shun do anything in, like, ten volumes! What’s up with this?
Basically, an… important plot point, if Knights of the Zodiac can be said to have any, hinges on Shun. He is… somebody else. And I probably would have blown that warning off, because everyone is someone else in this series. But it is honestly shocking this time.
I didn’t even have time to dwell on the random out-of-place retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice at the beginning of the volume. There are some fight scenes, namely with the three generals of the Hades army, but all that pales in comparison to Shun’s revelation.
And as soon as it happened, I was really hoping we’d get to see Ikki again. We haven’t seen him in about ten volumes, either.
We did. And he was just as awesome as I remembered. It looks like he showed up to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and next volume, he’s all out of bubble gum.
I’m ready.
