I'm catching up on Soul Eater (ch. 97) and this exchange between Kid and his dad is made of lolz. I think it's equal parts still-stuck-in-the-obsession-loop-from-two-pages-ago,* pedantry, and dickery.

Panel 1: Kid: "What is it, Father?"
Panel 2: Shinigami-sama: "Glad to see you okay, Kid!"
Panel 3: Kid: "Please skip this useless courtesy talk and tell me why you brought me here."
Panel 4: Shinigami-sama, making a shocked and/or sad sound effect
ETA: And it got worse. (*dying*)
*How I'm interpreting "I can't follow my dad (who is GOD's) orders right now because as a shinigami it is my job to stay on this battlefield to MAINTAIN ORDER even though I'm doing a pretty crappy job WHY WON'T YOU CLOWNS DIE?!" because, dammit, I can't take any more plot-induced incompetence.

Date: 2012-06-20 12:37 am (UTC)Is it the: "WAIT A MINUTE WHY ARE WE LEAVING EVERYONE LET ME OUT OF THIS AIRSHIP I'M STAYING HERE AND WHO CARES WHAT MY DAD SAID"?
Also, oh, God. OH GOD. Poor Kim and whoever else was in the shower with her, but Ohkubo, stop, my internal organs CANNOT HANDLE THE LOLS!
