Ants cannot eat chocolate due to the high amount of cocoa powder and caffeine; this last ingredient is particularly toxic for their small digestive system, mainly because they simply cannot digest it properly like we, humans, can do. Is worth to remember we are used to eating highly processed food, thus meaning the chocolate bars you can buy, for example, on convenience stores is filled with a great variety of chemicals and ingredients in order of making the chocolate more delicious and pleasant to our taste; some stimulants like theobromine, phenylethylamine, and others are added to induce cravings in humans, but they are not suitable for insects, and yes, this includes ants.

For all those reasons, ants can potentially die by merely eating chocolate, and that explains why one of the ants is nervous and why the other is pushing the chocolate aside and is on the verge of tears.

    Interesting. Thanks.

    Pity, though ( if one wants to give them a treat... )

    I think in this particular comic we shouldn't think so much of them as real ants with the aversion to and intolerance for chocolate that real ants would have. After all, she looks interested in the chocolate to begin with, and the artist has been more than happy to show the ants enjoying human food in the past. Also, that doesn't really seem to fit the "punchline" of the comic. Rather, note the prominent reveal at the very end of the last panel: this chocolate is very pure, 96% cacao. There's a good reason for that reveal: chocolate that pure is bitter as hell.

    Verxina's status in the fanbase before Gentildonna was introduced:
    Cool doting onee-san.

    Poor Verxina's status afterwards:
    Useless rival.

    I guess this is what happens when one can compress an iron ball and the other is still stuck in the realm of a mere mortal... Not that that's gonna stop me from eventually pulling both of them when they drop

    I wonder if after the Gorilla Legend Race comes out we'll get a surge of Verxina reversal artworks, otherwise it will be unfair indeed.

    The fanbase also discover that she is a heavy siscon before Gentil (iirc it was when Cheval was released together with Verxina's sc)

    Historically a lot of Japanese samurai (and other members of the bushi/warrior class) were huge fans of firearms. Japanese media and jidaigeki flicks often also have guns if the era is historically appropriate (anything set in the Sengoku era will have at least one character whose shtick is "gunslinger" if the cast herd is big enough) . Meanwhile...

    *Stares at The Last Samurai and all the Western media portraying samurai viewing guns as dishonorable*

    Nobunaga in particular was a huge fan of guns and pioneered the use of massed 'muskets' in Japanese warfare (he's not the first adopter, but the one most famous for it in Japanese history). Totally whupped the asses of the Takeda's expensive cavalry with them. So fictional depictions of Nobunaga will often show him using guns (or commanding musketeers) because that's what the historical figure was well known for (among other things).

    Fate Nobu's Abilities involve a gatling gun and lines of muskets so this is accurate on that front aswell lol

    There are 7 girls unidentified, has anyone any idea of their identity
    I find Sotomura likeness but I wonder why this character unimportant in the manga Ichigo_100% would highlight

    Maybe because the artist wants..??

    BTW, is this a shopped version of the previous one??

    Bullshit. Best Gundam is a three-way tie between Barbatos Lupus Rex, Wing Zero Custom, and 00 XN Raiser. Maybe four-way with either Calibarn or Scwarzette.

    Woundwort disagrees
    -banger psychommu head antenna option that looks like they ripped an angel figurehead straight off of a ship
    -thicc thighs
    -massive dong
    -long range melee claw attack with huge a hitbox that instantly redlines any ACS bar
    -insane number of variations
    -has mobile armor equipment so large that it'd be a kit around 2 meters tall at 1/144 scale
    -is named after this guy

    That's still super wrong.

    No. Simply put, without the first series there would not be any franchise at all. All the subsequent tropes, even those from your adored Mercury Witch, came from the original. Each and every series is basically a reboot of the original. The first one is the legend from which every other story took an element from. First Gundam is best Gundam. Amen.

    Just because it was first doesn't mean it was the best. Zeta was vastly superior to mobile suit Gundam in terms of animation quality and writing
