I did read a short article, which you can find on google for free (only ten pages long with short paragraphs) that was pretty interesting in regards to ants living after losing various limbs. Also drowning. And being starved...and attempted poisoning....
[Actually, it's interesting but also morbid, if you think too much on the fact that someone was out there basically maiming and torturing ants for "science". Like, who tf just wakes up one day and decides to assassinate ants in every *slowest* way possible???]
ANYWAY, take it with a grain of salt since the study was from the early 1900's with references to other studies from the late 1800's, and things could be disproven but:
Given the right conditions (usually in a controlled environment) and a specific subspecies of ant, Decapitated ants can live 5 to 41 days and ants missing abdomens can live for 5 to 14 days?
It's weird that decapitated ants live longer than ones missing only their abdomen...
TL;DR:
If this is true, I'm guessing our MC and his crew would need to crush the organs like the heart and brain to ensure the Queen actually dies sooner than later, and not just sever limbs.

You know, I'm wondering if the artist and author are giving us behind the scenes looks at the process of making each chapter, or just hit the deadline and had to give in whatever they had on hand---finished or not.
It's kinda cool to see, and I'm grateful for the chapter either way, but it just seems unfinished and rushed.

I don't really get why Keira couldn't live in her last life.
I mean, I get that there were suspicions that she wasn't the emperor's daughter because of her hair colour, and even more suspicion because Cosette showed up and made it appear that she was the real "first daughter" with the spirit arts that Keira didn't have yet....but why does that mean Keira had to die?
There was no proof that she wasn't the emperor's daughter at all.other than those two aspects, and whether she's first or second daughter----does it matter? A daughter is a daughter. He wouldn't have killed his son if he was the second son, right?
Or am I misremembering something? I vaguely recall some concerns about a demon and the first daughter being the only one with the power to defeat it, but how does that affect the second daughter unless the second one is supposedly meant to be the demon???
Like, just let her live unless you thought she was a demon... Was that it?

A lot of people seem to be confused and pissed off with the change to Yuu's personality as of late, and I totally understand why. I'm not a huge fan of how things are turning out, and a lot.of.points in the plot appear to be only half-assed attempts at linking them to what was a great first season.
But I kind of get the change (at least I think so). In a lot of the flashbacks to the progenitor vampire, Shikama Douji, and his earliest followers (Krul, Ashera, etc...), Yuu is first introduced as an artificially created seraph, whereas Mika is a real seraph that Shikama was attempting to... essentially clone (?).
Yuu has an extremely childish personality where he's naive and innocent and volatile, especially as he seems to never grow older (because they keep killing him as a failure attempt to create another Mika, and because he's apparently just accident prone), and he's not really allowed to experience the outside world beyond when Krul and Ashera were brought into their "family" and played with him. How "our" Yuu came to be is still a bit of a mystery, but things definitely took a different turn where he was able to learn and grow and become his own person.
The way I see the current arc, Yuu is *regressing* to his original personality the more Ashera influences his soul (whenever Yuu borrows demonic energy and power from him) combined with the frequency he uses his seraph powers, or comes into contact with another seraph (like Kamizuki's sister, or that random seraph he found at the hideout).
If this is right, I don't understand why the author wouldn't accentuate this point more so readers aren't so damned confused, but...whatevs, I guess.
My irritation really stems with the other characters who supposedly care for him, but never seem to question this obvious change. Like, wtf? Are you blind??? He's clearly operating at the intelligence and emotional understanding of a 6 year old, and has a scary amount of power none of you can hope to contain if he ever goes berserk, but yeah okay let him run wild with half baked plans and impulsivity. Just chalk it up to "Yuu being Yuu" though he never acted like that before. Yeah, that's fine. Great friends...
Stupid ass morons.
Chapter 62, page 3...She really reminds me of someone. Dasom is literally Lisa.
"What about me!!?? I'm the hottest, okay."
