I think the big thing with this one is Yuki. Look at panel 3. Her eyes went swirly and she entered the tentacle haze, but then she took the hot dog and began to channel the rage. That's some real progress there.
And still loving how expressive Didi is.

Use your aggresive feelings. Let the hate flow through you.
Real progress indeed.

Well, it's not wild uncontrolled rage. She's cognizant of the fact that she's raging. Now that she's capable of controlling her actions (which will still likely be no different but what they were before, but at least she now knows what she's doing) she can eventually get to the point of deciding what her actions will be.
Plus, funny.

Guys, like I said earlier; it's going to turn into a Shadow of the Colossus boss fight between Yuki and Didi.
Gary's going to come back from work and find Yuki clambering on Didi's back like an insane monkey, both of them hair pulling and screeching like a flock of demented seagulls.
The question is then going to be Gary's reaction:
Close the door quietly then run for his life
Get a nose bleed and pass out or otherwise get knocked unconscious by flailing limbs
Stand there in stunned amazement and fail to run away before they start interrogating him
I think its been established that yuki is a capable fighter before now hasnt it? And anyway, thats just silly saying all asians know martial arts. Noone expects all the people from laos to know martial arts, but yuki is JAPANESE. We all know every last person from japan is a ninja of some sort. Pretty sure its a law there or something.

That's silly. If everyone in Japan was a ninja, it would appear to be an uninhabited island because no one could see them.

You might have a point if she wasn't executing what looks like a classic jujitsu throw.

Yuki has been established as knowing martial arts for a while now.
This is not "all Asians know martial arts". This is "characters who have been established as knowing martial arts know martial arts".

It is easy: Everyone that is not a samurai is a ninja. That's why you only see samurais.

Last night was the most wonderful night of my life. The things you showed me... the things we did... I could never have dreamt that it was possible. Who even knew that someone could manipulate their body in that manner while wearing Daedric armor boots? You are a true master of the Dibellan Arts, my love... a credit to your religion. Perhaps we'll meet again soon but next time, allow me to bring the trout.
Your Secret Lover"
Ok, so I think it's definitely best if Yuki does not find out about Gary and Kiley ever. She'd tear the poor little thing apart ... and Kiley might be in trouble too.

Place your bets now. I'm thinking DiDi is definitely not out after this. She looks more surprised in p3 than actually hurt from the punch. (Which looks like it hit slightly below the plexus. Dangerously close.) So the next strip is either her relatiating via strength/endurance (as opposed to technique/speed from Yuki) or going "wtf", not being used to resistance of this kind.
I actually think it's pretty badass of Yuki to not use any exclamation marks in that whole exchange.
Yuki has been established as a martial artist of some kind. I mean, she walks around with nunchucks, presumably for practical reasons.
DiDi certainly isn't KO. She's fit and supernaturally strong. I just can't decide if DiDi will rise in world-wrecking glory or if she'll just take the hint and scoot off. After all, she's not here to fight.

Of course she is! She is fighting for the most precious thing to a woman: An orgasm! No way a simple throw will make her back out. I demand torn clothing and makeup sex!
You might have a point if she wasn't executing what looks like a classic jujitsu throw.
I thought that looked more like a judo throw, but I'm not very familiar with either style. The initial punch was for surprise, so in that respect it worked, but with regard to damage on the Frankish Amazon... I think the shirt pull did more.
By the way, is Yuki putting her shoulder under Didi's breast for leverage in panel 4?

Judo...Jujitsu...they start with J and they involve hurting people. Close enough.

If everyone in Japan is a Ninja, they'd collectively be such incompetent ninjas that none of them could hide. Since Japanese people are visible, clearly they are all ninjas.
However, if you encounter just one person from Japan ...

If not that then gary will walk in and be propelled out the door by a huge gushing nose bleed. But yeah, im thinking didi is into a bit of bdsm. Could get dangerous if she experiments with her being in charge.
