    One thing that could have happened is similar to what happened to Roy here. Eugene ignored what the Deva was saying and got out of there ASAP.

    I'm not quite following what you're saying. On the very page you quoted it's shown that Eugene knew what had happened.

    I meant that Eugene would have done something similar to what Roy did in that scene.

    Getting a ride on the resurrection-limo?

    Or blowing the Deva off? Roy misunderstood her, thought she was talking about Belkar and figured that stuff takes care of itself. Eugene knows exactly what it's about. See last panel.

    Both, in a way. Because Eugene would be getting resurrected, he would be getting on the limo very soon and would be ignoring the Deva similar to how Roy did. The main problem for Roy wasn't that he misunderstood but that he didn't bother to listen and actually hear what she was saying.

    Except Eugene died of old age, and there's no coming back from that. I've no idea where you're taking that idea from, there's nothing at all in the comic to support it. And again. Eugene did listen. He knows what the Deva said. He knows what V did. He didn't care. He burned the report, because he agreed with V and rooted for him.

    I think Jaxzan is saying that on the numerous occasions that Eugene died and *was* resurrected, it happened so fast that he possibly went rushing off before the whole Blood Oath thing came up, just as Roy had to rush off before the deva got the chance to inform him of V's actions? What Eugene did with the information given him by the deva isn't actually relevant.

    Yes, what factotum is saying is exactly my point. I don't understand what it was that I was saying that was confusing you.

    Well, you sort of jumped into the topic without announcing what, exactly, he wasn't knowing.
    “Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

    Okay, good point. Next time I say something like this I will clarify what "thing" I am referring too.

    Roy's resented his father for at least 18 years, ever since his brother died. Ever since he decided to become a Fighter, he's been putting up with constant condecension and belittling from his father. Not only that, but right before the old man died, he showed up and saddled Roy with a soul-binding oath that Eugene had abandoned years ago. Now Roy's in a position to tell his father exactly what he thinks of him, with no fatigue, no sore throat, not even running out of breath. With all that resentment bottled up, I find it far from unlikely for the argument to last a month, let alone a week.
