#PILLAR MEN AWAKEN POSE SERIES#

Poor Mark gets bumped into and half of his body gets eaten, and his family picture locket clatters down to the ground. The three Pillar Men walk past them and ignores them completely. Joseph steps on something gross, and the group discovers that it's the husks of the soldiers drained by Wamuu. and we cut back to our heroes, who basically go through a bit of a horror show. They have a tendency to strike hilarious JoJo poses, too, and Wamuu quickly makes himself subservient before ACDC and Kars - I forgot that ACDC outranks Wamuu! They talk a bit about the Great Red Stone of Aja, our new plot device, as well as the Pillar Men's role as rulers of the world.

Kudos to the anime for making all three distinctly different from the get-go - I knew I had trouble telling them apart in this part of the manga, and it's not until later in the story that I appreciate the three as distinct characters. I'm not quite sure why he has to hammily shout out his name as he revives his two masters and prostrates himself before the turban-headed Kars and the funky-haired ACDC (Esidisi, technically, but this is funnier). We get an extra-nightmarish bit where he dance-moves through the Nazi soldiers, sticking everyone's hands together with the Pillar Men's 'move to flesh' ability, and then drains everyone up like a straw.

#PILLAR MEN AWAKEN POSE SERIES#

A long, long tentacle-like horn shoots through the front rank of the soldiers, and the blood cakes the UV lights, and the Pillar Man emerge to fantastic music ( Pillar Men Awaken), and immediately strikes series a glorious pose. The three of them wakes up in this episode, because some Nazi moron is too stupid to look directly into a hole that appeared on the wall, and, of course, the Pillar Men wakes up. And, well, Mark is obviously going to die a tragic death because 100% of the scene establishes that he's a nice guy, and he's going to get married, and he's such a nice guy, all right? Speedwagon is apparently in cooperation with the Nazis (who are not referred to by name) and we meet their contact, Mark the nice soldier. The animation in this scene reverts back to Phantom Blood's 'change the colour palette randomly', something we haven't seen a whole lot in Battle Tendency. We do see Caesar's so-called ultimate attack, which is using hamon bubbles to blast people. We get one of the less entertaining fights between Caesar and Joseph, as Caesar uses his Hamon kiss to take control of a girl, and Joseph uses his hamon to shove a pigeon into the girl's mouth. We get the little bit of revelation that Santana's stone corpse is placed within a UV light prison, and the carvings on a wall show that Santana is actually of a lower caste compared to three other faces on it. Caesar and Speedwagon give us a bit of a backstory about the Speedwagon Foundation's creation to find out information about the Stone Masks. As Joseph points out, 'did he have to grand-stand just to sit down?' And by grandstand, I mean Caesar straight-up leaps three meters into the air to pirouette just to sit down on a cafe's chair. he's a pretty fun, if slightly flamboyant, character.
