It had O-Chul's entire essence in those few strips, his willingness to endure months of torture for his cause, his unshakable will and bravery, his belief in goodness in his dialogue with the MitD, and his sheer badassery.
654 is the best strip so far in my mind. There's so much packed into that last "O-CHUL!" Even the ever-childlike and quasi-innocent MitD knows that absolutely everything is about to go down. Still gives me shivers every time I read it.
