Reads Right to Left like the original Japanese manga!!!

Dear Battler: Please stop looking different every frikkin' time I draw you. Kthnx.

I made Virgilia's anime-wand smaller, because in the anime it's practically a beating stick. I mean damn. It's huge!

LESSON TIME!!!

This is one of the things that I believe Dante and Battler have the most in common: an often mistaken faith in their fellow humans. Dante pities many of the inhabitants of hell several times, and is frequently reprimanded by Virgil for doing so; they are sinners, but Dante only sees them as suffering humans. Likewise, Battler--especially in the earlier Episodes--was so trusting in the others on Rokkenjima that he repeatedly refused to accept any of them as potential culprits. This is a sort of sweet trait, but also a weakness for them both.

This first meeting of Sinners is also most notably one of the few times Dante never speaks to one. As you’ll see in the future, he is often asked to speak to a representative or two of each group of Sinners and record what they say for later to teach lessons, but these people in particular are forbidden from being recorded other than being witnessed.

Um, why is Battler getting flung thirty feet magically? Okay, okay. This part doesn't actually happen in Dante's Inferno. What really happens is that Dante faints. No, I kid not. Dante is prone to fainting at random moments, probably because Dante-the-poet uses them as transitions for awkward moments. Battler doesn't strike me as the fainting type, so I had to figure out a different way to get the pass-out-transition across. Well I suppose he'd pass out after getting flung thirty feet and landing painfully....eheheh....(Besides, it's so fun to pick on Battler. So. Fun.)

Originally the River Charon passes before the gate of Hell. I kinda-sorta forgot to draw it though So...it's not here. It's okay, Dante faints before he crosses it anyway, so he doesn't remember it.

As always, credit to for the texture brushes used here!
