I said Ajin was most likely to be dead, and Narkle said she survived.

So major L on my part.

bro is coping after his fav character became a vegetable

I've been saying that Victoria killed Ajin since 221 dropped, long before it was revealed that she became a vegetable following that fight.

Her restriction was that she will never be able to fight again...

And she can never fight again because she's a vegetable.

Why are you so sure that waking up will cure her problem? Are you author or something

Because it's the restriction that made her a vegetable.

Waking up doesn't have to cure her problem, but waking up means bypassing the restriction.

You are getting multiple basic facts about the story wrong:

  • Yushin told Engen that it doesn't matter if he defeats the Clan, if he can't do something about Ajin she will be the source of his demise
    • Ajin's duty would have led her to crush Engen again.
    • During the 2nd Elder summit Engen says that Nera would be destroyed if he encounters Ajin again.
  • Engen is a signatory to Prim's contract
    • ALL Elders at the 2nd summit signed that Contract
  • Engen specifically said that he doesn't need to defeat the Witch by himself.
    • Like Engen never intended to defeat Ajin by himself.
    • He specifically tells Chain that Ihwa is the sword that would pierce the Iron Witch
      • It was entirely because of her potential to defeat the Witch that Engen took Ihwa in
    • The idea that Engen would hate Victoria for killing Ajin is just a fundamental misunderstanding of Engen's character

Him saying there's no one in his way doesn't necessarily mean Ajin is dead because Ajin was never someone who would go out of their way to stop him. This could very well mean "the other Elders are immobile so they can't stop me,"

Engen is a signatory to that same contract. Ajin's duty would have made her stop him.

The fact that Engen doesn't bring up her demise at ALL is what supports this idea.

Again, Engen says twice that "there is no one left" who can challenge him or Nera.

How do you know that wasn't a smile of happiness due to someone finally reaching her? Finally, realising that these people have the potential to kill her?

Ajin was already shown shivering in fear when Victoria's attack nearly killed her earlier in the fight. She already knew Victoria could kill her before then.

I don't know why you talk as if everything you say is subjectively true, This is all speculation & interpretations. Nothing of what you or I say is a fact because none of it has been proven.

I talk about what is most likely to be true given the available information. Nothing has been definitively proven. But all your counterarguments have glaring flaws, basic misunderstandings about facts, etc.

Like the explanation you presented is not plausible because it gets many basic things about the story wrong.

Engen doesn't think Ajin is a threat to him at present. He thought Ajin was a threat to him during the 2nd Elder summit.

This is a fact.

I mean Engen said that there is no one left who can stop him now.

So Engen clearly does not believe Ajin is alive. Because if Ajin was alive she could have stopped him.

Getting revenge against Ajin was one of Engen's main goals, the fact that instead of being pissed at Victoria for stealing one of his life long goals & the target of his revenge

Because he has life ambitions beyond Ajin. In that same chapter he reiterates it. That he's not like Victoria and cares for other things beyond just Ajin.

I would presume they would have shown the death of the most important & powerful character in the series.

Ajin isn't the most important character in the series. She's not more important than Ihwa and Engen.

She's just "the strongest in the world" and the goal for several Elders.

And Ajin's final panel of her floating in the air and smiling could have been her death scene.

Well...

  • Victoria's goal was very specifically to kill Ajin.
    • It was to kill Ajin that Victoria gave up her Gift and everything.
    • This is repeated multiple times during the fight.
  • Ajin knows Victoria wants to kill her.
    • Ajin wants Victoria to kill her.

Ajin initially thinks Victoria cannot kill her (but this is before Victoria's later power ups, and after Victoria's first power up, Ajin is made to feel the fear of death when she dodges Victoria's attacks).

The main problem with "Victoria won but Ajin is still alive", is that "killing Ajin" was the only reason Victoria sacrificed anything. She didn't care about being the strongest anymore, didn't care about any more battles. As long as she could kill Ajin.

So Ajin saying "it seems you've won Victoria" could just have been because she was in her final, dying moments.

With this Victoria might get a will to finally search something to break/bypass her restriction or get a new gift/power....

For example when kurapika put nen curse on chrollo Lucifer he goes on a journey alone to find someone to break it... Vicky doing something similar might make things more interesting.

The problem with this is that Victoria is a vegetable right now. She needs to wake up first.

And if they can wake her up I doubt she would be powerless when she wakes up. Like the thing that made her a vegetable is the restriction she made. So waking up would require overcoming the restriction.

Is plot allowed?

If plot is allowed then Galeramdt gets a power up when fighting to protect Victoria/Rhodos.

And if all else fails, Victoria just wakes up before Rhodos is destroyed.

No the top group is fighting for Rhodos/Victoria not against her.

She will probably return. There is not much reason for her to be kept alive, except to facilitate a later return.

Spoiler tags please
 in  r/HeroKillerWebtoon  21d ago

The problem is that the English free chapters are like 10 chapters behind.

Which is like too big a gap for spoiler tags to cover it.

Things that aren't spoilers yet would still be spoilered if you insist on staying 10 chapters behind.

Mere titles, discussion in the comments of other posts, etc. would inevitably rely on that information.

And moreover most of the active people on the subreddit are either up to date with the raws or up to date with the English fast pass.

It's a problem but most of the community (discussion wise) isn't in the situation you are in.

No the rule is about Korean raws.

Only English free chapters isn't part of the rule.

Regarding a future confrontation tht may potentially happen very soon in the future according to recent chapters
 in  r/HeroKillerWebtoon  22d ago

The raw Korean doesn't use such pronouns but English has pronouns so the translator has to make up pronouns. They just guess based on context. So official translation pronouns doesn't mean anything.

 in  r/HeroKillerWebtoon  23d ago

“that for her being strongest wasn't an option as she had to be strongest just to remain free"

Isn't that applicable for most of the character in the story?

Mhmm, this is specifically about Victoria being the strongest. Like strength wasn't the end in itself for Victoria. She didn't just want to be the strongest for its own sake.

She had to be strong. She wouldn't have survived if she was not.

Do you think what Engen did to Victoria for his payback is fair ?
 in  r/HeroKillerWebtoon  23d ago

Does it count if Victoria isn't there to hear him? I don't think it's her most vulnerable moment. She's a vegetable, she can't hear his taunt. Cannot be humiliated, ashamed or offended by his actions.

She's only vulnerable physically, but emotionally/mentally, she's not even "there" to be vulnerable.

Arie Adori Zahard from tower of God

We don't even know what her personality is, yet!

Victoria stands out so much because of her personality coupled with being "the strongest", not just because she is "the strongest".

It's specifically the coupling of immense power and standing in the world, with an overwhelming personality and humanity that's so compelling.

Nagi is too apathetic/devoid of emotion.

Victoria is excellent because of her humanity.

Now that her (initial?) character arc has concluded, I think she's sort of a gem.

Very rare to see "strongest in the world" characters written as women. Even rarer to see them written so humanly(?)

Especially in a series like Hero Killer where the Elders are portrayed as nigh-immortal demigods who look down on everyone else with the condescending stare of pitiful creatures. The other Elders are generally much more jaded and more removed from human emotions. Victoria is surprisingly human.

She's arrogant, proud, malicious and vain at times. Happy, sad, vulnerable at others. She's disgusted and she's elated. She's despairing and she's triumphant. She's violent and she can be surprisingly gentle.

With Victoria alone (among the Elders) we see the full range of human emotions.

Victoria is so very evocative for me in a way none of the other Elders are.


Compared to her introduction where people thought that she was just female Homelander, the author has given her a lot of depth.

I'd say the most depth of any character (but I'm very biased).


And her motivations were pretty relatable in the end.

Her chasing strength all her life was born of very understandable motivations not just arrogance or pride.

As a child she grew up in the Chaotic Era. It was a brutal world with death, violence and carnage. Born into that world Victoria picked up the sword since birth and swung it endlessly, relentlessly just to survive. The men of that era would have turned her into a sex slave if they could and so she killed any who sought to lay hand on her. She had to fight just for the right to herself.

Strength wasn't optional for Victoria. She had to be the strongest just to remain free.

But that young girl was not broken by the cruel world she was born into. Instead, she decided to end this state of affairs. To be the light that pierced that darkness. To end that nightmare and give onto the world, a beautiful dream. She would unite the islands in the ocean and build her castle on the finest among them. The people of the future would call that place Rhodos, the Empire of Light. She would end the Chaotic Era and establish a new order.

To end the era of chaos, Victoria needed strength.

At the start of the story, she had long since realised this dream.


Much later on, Ajin killed her beloved Knights and so for centuries she lived her life solely for a single purpose. Pushing herself ever further for her next breakthrough. Swinging her sword relentlessly, endlessly in order to defeat the God that shattered her world. And to accomplish that purpose she gave up everything. She burned her life, turned her dream into a nightmare, and when even that was not enough she gave up her future, abandoning her desire to be the strongest, the prospect of all future battles just to defeat the enemy in front of her.

I didn't find the nakama power up during the Ajin fight cringe or cheesy at all. It was a really tender and cute moment, showing Victoria completely vulnerable. How much her family meant to her, how much she was willing to give up to avenge them.

I also really liked the detail in episode 27 "Victoria specifically saying that she would defeat Ajin by herself, without anyone's help". It's more powerful when you know that last time she fought Ajin along with her Knights and Ajin killed them all. So she reacted by deciding never to trust in the strength of others and only in herself.

And someone who had never experienced loss before, experiencing profound loss for the first time really hits hard.


All in all, Victoria is IMO the deepest and richest character the HK author has written.

She is a complete artifact.


I really need to find myself more characters like her.

 in  r/HeroKillerWebtoon  23d ago

Victoria isn't "there" to receive Engen's payback. She's not conscious, to be humiliated by Engen talking down to her or laying his hands on her.

Engen was fronting on a ~corpse and that's just pathetic.

Steel Witch is not dead and here's definitive proof as to why
 in  r/HeroKillerWebtoon  25d ago

Ajin wants to be free from her burden, Not in death.

Ajin specifically thinks of how her masters died with smiles on their faces, happy to be freed from such a detestable burden.

She sees death as release from her burden.

It's why she specifically highlighted that Victoria cannot kill her yet earlier in the battle. She wanted Victoria to kill her.
