Note that enkyou youjutsu (though its name was conveyed with romaji vowel-extension macrons this commentary’s font won’t support) was mentioned as a “fiery shock and awe dealie” by Ninjette 150-odd pages ago. (Once again, we see the unfortunate format limitations inherent to daily webcomic serialization of a series intended to be read as complete volumes.)

Today’s Patreon update: As it’s a Wednesday, time for the $5+ Patron tiers to get their weekly dose of commissioned damsel-in-distress content, along the lines of the same material was eventually reworked into Empowered. (No idea as to exactly what that might be at this time, though; these commentaries are written much further out from posting than are my often last-minute Patreon updates.)
