So Sister dagger is called Esme (why?) and they only noticed his sparkling blood now? He was sparkling like mad last issue right in front of them in the boot. And is Shang really so dumb not to notice what it means that the command to the Jiang Shi affects him as well and that he can feel its presence? Well, like I said, at least this here can keep my interest, if maybe for the wrong reasons.

If I were Shang-Chi I would be concerned that Takeshi and sister dagger are so in sync with him even despite barely knowing each other. Well, for all its oddities and weird things, this is still better drawn, painted and written than the boring Agents of Atlas. Unlike Pak, Yang knows what to do with his characters, probably because he doesn't put 13 in one team.

Sister Hammer being in the Louvre and talking to her siblings how the treasures were painstakingly made by their ancestors and pillaged by their enemies. So that is why France is here, the whole saking of the summer palace thing or something. That makes it even more odd that one of the siblings is called Takeshi when Japan is way more hated than France in China today. It is truly CHimerican.

Didn't he have them check his wound or why is he making a secret out of it?

Oh right, his father had ninjas as well... why if he hates Japan so much? Is that like some learning from your enemy and using his weapons against him? And what is "learned to control their breathing" supposed to mean? Chi said it before and I doubt he can hear their breathing. Or is that a Qi thing? And the only way to kill a JiangShi is through paper amulets with chicken blood? Just decapitate them!

The choise of locations of the five secret houses (China, Russia, England, Japan and now France) still puzzles me. How is that supposed to make sense in and outside of the universe? And Brother Sabre is called Takeshi? Why? Is this another example of the weird "chimerican" nature of some media like the latest Mulan? That the makers create these weird hybrids?

so one house in China, one in England, one in Russia and one in japan... there is one missing. Where is number 5? And this is all he does to keep tabs on the nations that attacked China´?

And the Five Weapons society did support the rebels according to this but telling enough, they only say "Western devils" now, no japanese anymore. although maybe that one soldier on the left with the sword might be japanese.

wow that image about how england, japan, france, germany, austria, italy and america crushed the "rebels" would fit propaganda at its finest. the rebels that "rose against the foreigners" and apparently that doesn't include the manchus. at least they aren*t mentioned.
