Salvatore Doni

Basic Information:
Physical Strength: idiotically sturdy
Motor Skills: Martial talent enough to kill gods
Intelligence: Of course, bad
Senses: Natural Instincts
Life force: Just won't die so his idiocy doesn't get cured (after the saying that it takes death to cure an idiot)

Personality quirks:
Of course, he's an idiot
But he's surprisingly cunning
Then again, he's an idiot
The line between idiocy and genius is a thin one

Not really. But seriously, where is this coming from?

It wouldn't be the Authority that binds her, but her own choice to follow him. It's not like she hasn't chosen to follow his command before.

'Just leave everything to me from this point onwards. If an overcautious woman like Guinevere were to be in charge, even what is rightfully yours cannot be won back. Until the battle with Gascoigne begins, you are both under my command. Only this way can lead you to victory."

This declaration caused Guinevere's beautiful face to pale.

On the other hand, her beautiful guardian deity simply went 'Hmm...' and crossed her arms, muttering as she contemplated. In the end, no objections were raised. Deep down, she must have agreed with Kusanagi Godou's words.

That shows that even with her ego, she can still work under Godou's command.

It comes from Jou-chan himself. Translated by yours truly.


That being said, I have V16 raws, I think. As with V15, I'm going to read the new chapter until I'm stupid. Those who want some teasers are welcome to join me on IRC. The channel is #campione_16 on the server Rizon. Those who don't know how to chat via IRC and still want to come... search the thread. I posted a how-to one or two times already.

You wouldn't happen to have Godou's, would you?

[bakapervert]

So, no more information on volume 16? Does the SS just a copy paste from the old one, or it has some improvement that worth a re-read?

[GodSoul]

The God of Wind / steel, appears a mummy in the illustration (could it be egipcio?),Slutty only Sun Wukong not hitherto decent illustration.

[Renegade334]

Well, LQ raws for v16 have just appeared, so you can grab 'em and see for yourself.

[Zurvan]

My god, the artwork looks AMAZING!!!

BTW does anyone know who the mummified man(or woman) is?
Has there some noteworthy speculation for the KotE his companion?
And has the KotE been summond fully twice or fully once and once partily? (if you don't consider the times he might have been summond before the year 400 CE)

appearance suggests that he is Egyptian, not only for being a mummy more for costumes that look like costumes Egyptians War,if Egyptian, the one that fits would be Seth, the god of war chaos of storms, killer snakes.
more failure is that seth has never been described with an indestructible body,the only ones described in the mythologies with indestructible bodies were Siegfried, Heracles(after killing the Nemean Lion),aquiles.
sun wokung was described as having an indestructible body,more in his legend that was never been mentioned as far as I know (maybe I'm wrong),Heracles had his body covered by burns after receiving a tunica poisoned by the centaur, which may be the reason for the appearance of mummy,it could also be an Egyptian hero (if any of their origin be egypt)but I'm no connoisseur of Egyptian mythology,do not know not a single hero egpcio.

Kadi-han. The "Life Force" part lacks the incredibly important information that he's technically unable to catch a cold. I think you can all guess where that's coming from.

Well, as for that "charming ability" bogus, I gotta' say it'd break the story. We don't go around changing concepts so easily. It's known that the thing that lures women to him is simple and standard social skills, kindness, charm and charisma. The source is also confirmed - soaked into his young brain by his delinquent grandfather without his consent. Man, the whole story's kinda' built on that you know. It'd be a disaster to make such a mile-deep plothole this late in the game.

Also - the Youth submitted Erica because of the twisted nature of a Rogue God - since Verethragna broke out of his own myths (which states that as a radiant 15-year old youth, he goes around saving and protecting the populace), the ability itself kinda lost its meaning. Well, the base should be the same (making others awe and be inspired through it, highlighting his charisma), but it was simply misused because of his twisted nature. Youth itself still exists as a power to bestow affection, and more importantly protection on ones who serve as companions. Nothing more as of yet.

Also#2 - his abilities need to be activated. F.e. the charisma of Madame Aisha has to be activated too, but its effects wear off (Erica and Ena speculate that by getting away from her facilitate the loss of the effect), unless she activates it again. If she doesn't, it won't work. Similarly, Godou's youth is also the same. And don't forget - by the time he actually uses it first, three of the four heroines are neck-deep in the love guter alredy. And he only uses it twice, leaving too much time for the effect to actually wear off naturally.

Conclusion -
Girls being manipulated by an authority: Denied.
Girls being pulled in by an authority before really falling in love: Denied.
Remaining logical conclusion: no need to question alredy canonized info. He's just a stud. Get over it.

I know! right? I don´t know what the illustrator did to improve this much but it´s incredible! When Princess Goddess of the Southern came out I though it was a different who draw the illustrations.

About the mummified guy, since he's a so-called "living buddha", I guess something like Huangzang from the Journey to the West (since he said that he had the amulet of Erlang, and he trapped Sun Wukong, that should be the obvious conclusion). In that story, he was the one who, if memory serves me right, put some restrictive ki technique on Sun Wukong, so he doesn't run rampant, and part of his group that went to retrieve the holy scripture from the west. He's also a buddhist monk, so it fits nicely.
Although it's mostly just my speculation, I think the so-called "Glass Princess" is Oto-Tachibana Hime, the "Living Buddha" is Huangzhang, and Susanoo is Susanoo, obviously.

[Kadi]

Not the Buddha, not the Buddha, not the Buddha!

[RpR1337]

Whatever. Buddhas are overrated anyway. :P

[Feng Lengshun]

Personally, no, I don't think Buddhas are overrated. They're underrated if anything. Everyone just thinks "Oh, it's a Buddha". They tend to forget that this is, after all, the religion descended from Hinduism, which has cosmology and scale about as insane yet awesome as Gurren Lagann or, more appropriately, Asura's Wrath.

And it shows, one of the Buddhas are basically Yog-Sothoth (Vairocana)--who might or might not be Gautama himself--and another is basically Galactus (Amitabha). Heck, Gautama Buddha himself has one of his characteristics as "He has the strength of 1,000 crore elephants or 100,000 crore men," with one crore equals to ten million. The previous Buddhas were no slouch themselves, such as Vipassi Buddha who was "80 cubits tall, which is roughly equal to 121 feet (37 m), and his body radiated light for a distance of seven yojanas" when one Yojana equals around 13-16 km (about 8 miles).

I have to love those two religion's sense of scale. And no, this isn't a sarcasm or anything. So really, they are no slouch, except for the fact that being Buddhas, they only gives sermons. Except for the Bodhisattvas anyway. Really, I wish more stories could honor the two better, but considering how their sense of scale is, I don't think it's possible here. If Gautama ever appears as a Heretic God... they're fucked alright.

[Ultragunner]

and remember Budda is the pretty much the only one that actually beats down Sun Wukong himself.

I know this may not account to anything, just saying (can't help myself )

As I remember, after Sun Wukong beat up everyone in heaven the Buddha was like "Knock it off, brat" and then just sat on him. Or dropped a mountain on his head, I can't remember which.

I think Luo Hao beat a buddha(s). She had an authority she took from one.

I think he was sealed underneath a mountain. Afterwards, he got buddhahood himself.
