Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
When Roy fought the half-ogre, he mentioned getting a C- in his Attacks of Opportunity class... And in On the Origin of PCs, guess which subject he was preventing from studying due to a certain visit?
On a fateful evening, I foolishly sworn myself to follow Xykon's updated speech rule ...thing. The twelve gods know that I regretted my decision ...since then ...multiple times.

Roy mentions that anyone with more than two brain cells knows the desert is too big to search the whole thing.
Elan, naturally, then asks how they're going to start searching the whole thing.
Nale also decided to try to search the whole thing.Warhammer 40,000 Campaign Skirmish Game: Warpstrike

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
The title of Strip 207 is, "Now If Only We Could Organize the Fiends Somehow." Is that a double entendre foreshadowing the IFCC? Or maybe it's a single entendre, since the IFCC guys are coded by color and name.

So.... I always wondered why Soon had such a big moustache.... I just realized he styled it after Dragon's face tendrils.. Same with Kubota!

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
So.... Is the former hobgoblin supreme leader, actually Jirix? I ask because I never really thought about how it ties in that the leader was smart enough to follow Redcloak immediately rather than try to be combative, and then out of nowhere comes a smart hobgoblin with a name who's buddy-buddy with xykon.
Not to mention in GDGU:
SpoilerThe supreme leader was shown to be a cleric of considerable wit who prefers negotiation over conflict, not unlike Jirix himself.If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
You're not the first person to theorize that, though there's nothing official pointing to it.
(Technically, one of the generic hobgoblin clerics at the Siege of Azure City was already retconned into being Jirix in the DSTP commentary - not sure which one, though.)Last edited by ti'esar; 2023-12-15 at 04:17 PM.

The one that was helping Redcloak get rid of the oathspirits I think?

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
Personally I trust the Former Supreme Leader to find a way to avoid getting himself killed - twice. I also think if he was Jirix GDGU would have at least hinted at it. I hope he's still around, but I doubt he'll rise to prominence again before the comic is over (although I could totally see him rising in the ranks of the Gobbotopia government at some point in the future)

Former leader was the most powerful hobgoblin cleric they had, so it makes sense he became Redcloak's second in command.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
Jirix goes through a bit of a costume change to make him more visually distinct between War & XPs:
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0461.html
and his actually getting named in-strip, in Don't Split the Party:
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0543.html
Former Supreme Leader has one thing besides his 3 "regalia pieces" that makes him really stand out from the other hobgoblins - that greenish cloak.
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0149.html
If we ever see Jirix in possession of that green cloak, it might be a hint, even if we never see the regalia itself again.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

In the guard tower, Xykon compared Miko to a Jedi. The first thing Miko done after returning to Azure City was accusing Shojo to be like Palpatine, playing both sides in a war and using his minions to get rid of a knightly order.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
When Durkon and Redcloak spoke about Thor proposal to seal the Snarl, Redcloak complained about the Dark One never speaking to him. Actually, both Durkon and Jirix (and Minrah, too) manage to speak with their god only after being dead

Jo is Hinjo and Shojo's family name. So, their personal names are Hin and Sho.

We don't know that their first names are Hin and Sho. Their full names could as well be Hinjo Jo and Shojo Jo.

Or they're wearing gloves. I've always sort of thought after the 'temporary bodies' comment (even though in context that's not what it meant) that those are just basically animated robes they're possessing so they're all on equal terms, since it's pretty unlikely that three very different types of fiends would otherwise look identical.

I just noticed that in the overly-complicated floor plan Elan and Nale's Mom has, one of the lines indicate that one of the waitresses is supposed to run OUTSIDE the place and come in on the opposite side!

Sending spells have consistently used the characters' standard speech balloons:

So that was another clue that something was off with "Julia."

Ooh, excellent observation. In particular, Julia's Sending in strip 337 uses her standard speech balloon color.
Ghost Eugene's balloons (when he wasn't pretending to be Julia) were a different color than fake-Julia's though.

I take that combined with Eugene's big red angel voice (as well as the Ghost of Lame Monsters Past) as meaning ghosts can change their voices as they wish, but no matter what they do they will still sound somewhat off and "ghostly." Eugene's Julia ruse uses the standard black outlines and text, so it's presumably more normal-sounding.

Things I never noticed until re-reading several pages:
Oona calls Redcloak "little bald man".
She likely doesn't mean Redcloak is bald as in lacking hair on the head, but as in being a fur-less Goblinoid, since she is a Bugbear and as such has fur.

Ironically Redcloak's older brother and nephew in SOD are the only male goblins we've ever actually seen with hair on top of their heads, although there's been a few more with beards.
