I... would guess that the girls stuck in the tree and window are Malina and Pandemonica (As Cerberus, Justice, and Modeus are likely in jail at the moment), but since I can't actually tell for sure I'm not tagging them.

    If I were the police officer, I'd definitely trust Big Mike- for one, she's still an actual angel as opposed to the Queen of Lies, and second, because if I don't she'd probably give Taker City the Sodom And Gomorrah Twofer Tuesday Special.

    It is Malina and Pandemonica. Malina in the window, Pandemonica in the tree. You can actually identify them by their leg/footwear. Malina wears black pantyhose, and Pandemonica has bare legs. Modeus wears red pantyhose.

    Additionally, Malina, Pandemonica, and Modeus are the only ones that wear skirts, ruling out Justice and Cerberus, and Modeus was likely not home while this was happening (due to being involved in whatever was going on immediately prior to post #7572578 and presumably being at the police station currently).

    Ants cannot eat chocolate due to the high amount of cocoa powder and caffeine; this last ingredient is particularly toxic for their small digestive system, mainly because they simply cannot digest it properly like we, humans, can do. Is worth to remember we are used to eating highly processed food, thus meaning the chocolate bars you can buy, for example, on convenience stores is filled with a great variety of chemicals and ingredients in order of making the chocolate more delicious and pleasant to our taste; some stimulants like theobromine, phenylethylamine, and others are added to induce cravings in humans, but they are not suitable for insects, and yes, this includes ants.

    For all those reasons, ants can potentially die by merely eating chocolate, and that explains why one of the ants is nervous and why the other is pushing the chocolate aside and is on the verge of tears.

    Interesting. Thanks.

    Pity, though ( if one wants to give them a treat... )

    I think in this particular comic we shouldn't think so much of them as real ants with the aversion to and intolerance for chocolate that real ants would have. After all, she looks interested in the chocolate to begin with, and the artist has been more than happy to show the ants enjoying human food in the past. Also, that doesn't really seem to fit the "punchline" of the comic. Rather, note the prominent reveal at the very end of the last panel: this chocolate is very pure, 96% cacao. There's a good reason for that reveal: chocolate that pure is bitter as hell.

    Verxina's status in the fanbase before Gentildonna was introduced:
    Cool doting onee-san.

    Poor Verxina's status afterwards:
    Useless rival.

    I guess this is what happens when one can compress an iron ball and the other is still stuck in the realm of a mere mortal... Not that that's gonna stop me from eventually pulling both of them when they drop :BlobShotEyes:

    I wonder if after the Gorilla Legend Race comes out we'll get a surge of Verxina reversal artworks, otherwise it will be unfair indeed.

    The fanbase also discover that she is a heavy siscon before Gentil (iirc it was when Cheval was released together with Verxina's sc)

    Historically a lot of Japanese samurai (and other members of the bushi/warrior class) were huge fans of firearms. Japanese media and jidaigeki flicks often also have guns if the era is historically appropriate (anything set in the Sengoku era will have at least one character whose shtick is "gunslinger" if the cast herd is big enough) . Meanwhile...

    *Stares at The Last Samurai and all the Western media portraying samurai viewing guns as dishonorable*

    Nobunaga in particular was a huge fan of guns and pioneered the use of massed 'muskets' in Japanese warfare (he's not the first adopter, but the one most famous for it in Japanese history). Totally whupped the asses of the Takeda's expensive cavalry with them. So fictional depictions of Nobunaga will often show him using guns (or commanding musketeers) because that's what the historical figure was well known for (among other things).

    Fate Nobu's Abilities involve a gatling gun and lines of muskets so this is accurate on that front aswell lol
