“fathers” (panel 1) should be “father’s”
Fine, he grew up, he got muscles, and he avenged his father. That still doesn’t explain the hair dye or the name change.
What name change?
When he was a child his name was Melan-knee after Tiff and the gang showed up he told Tiff about his new name.
Many cultures give a name to a child, and then give a different name to the adult. They are considered two different people. What you did in childhood was another life. The mistakes you made are officially forgotten. You are an adult, and expected to act it.
He probably dyed his hair because blonde is rare in the Barbarian tribes, and he wanted to look like everybody else.
As for the swords…bah…nothing beats sword-chucks…yo….;)
So, about Chibiern… Since when does Peonie swear by the name of Ash?
About Exiern — the ‘swords strapped to your back’-thing doesn’t work that well in real life. :p
I’m going to assume he went for crippling, rather than killing blows… Is that also the barbarian way, or just him breaking his father’s mold?
@Gallstone – Chibiern has no continuity. Most likely, character wise, it is a Back To The Future Part III situation where she’s using someone else’s exclamation that she has heard multiple times before and unconsciously adopted.
Well, his hair MIGHT have changed it’s color over time. It happened to me. I was blonde when I was a kid, and now my hair is lot darker.
Why would you assume he only went for crippling blows? Or do you believe there are only one Rhakshasa and one old dorf in the entire North?
Would take practice, but having the swords strapped to ones back is doable (can draw them both at same time, or just one at a time: draw the left blade with the right hand and right blade with left) awkward maybe, but certainly doable
He might even have dyed his hair while he was practicing slaughtering bunnies during his exile
Why does young Typhan-Knee have a feminine face? He didn’t back at the beginning.
I thought the hair dye was already explained? Blonde haired types are soft southern sissies and if you want to get anywhere in barbarian society then you’ve got to be the right stuff. So one packet of L’Oreal Ebony Black and you are a fit leader for the tribe.
Also, this is why usurpers need to follow the evil overlord list and not leave family members alive, especially not children. Mind you, the English royalty during the Wars of the Roses kept making the same blunder (except Richard III of course).
Hikaro: Shh! Different artist! Continuity trumps Consistency! Typh toughened up during his years in exile (tho he always had the long, flowing blond hair). Melan’s hair is still a mystery, though. He must be dying it. Maybe he’s gone prematurely grey?
@ Hikaro, Typh’s face doesn’t look feminine to me, more like “sulky teenager” than anything else.
The swords strapped to the back looks cool, but the geometry is impractical. Particularly reinserting the swords.
I’m still not sure who hired the assassins. The Southern King is still a possibility, Sending Tiff North has a chance of either generating chaos Barbarian town or at least eliminating an inconvenient ally. Then there is the question of who inspired those killed Tiff’s father.
@Shirou Zhiwu, no reinserting the swords is easy. He just throws them up into the air and they land perfectly into their scabbards. Because he is Mellan-Knee, and he is a bad a!s.
@crypticmirror Richard III wasn’t a usurper despite what that Tudor propagandist Shakespeare wrote, the only people who were threatened by the princes in the tower were the usurper Henry Tudor and his treacherous allies.
Not just the Evil Overlord list, unless you want to claim Chaka Zulu was an EO (that was who taught me the lesson about the dog at your feet, one that has carried me this far in life)
Who says both swords have to be reinserted at the same time? Oh right, idiots
There is no reason why Peonie’s papa would try and kill Peonies potential future step-mother (and neither would Peonie for that matter, she would rather kill her daddy and take his new bride for her own {double claim to the throne for the win :D})
Eeeew. Shaka Zulu. Wasn’t he the one that stuck poles up a pair of guy’s bums as punishment or to be made as an example? Was that RL or just in the movie?
So did Vlas the Impaler. He did it to enemy soldiers. He did it to lawbreakers.
Is it just me or is the time lime kind of iffy? Typh and Wyll got that big in just 5 years? I thought they were kids.
Gallstone,

@crypticmirror. The usurpers WERE going after the children but were stopped by the tribe’s intervention when Grinsha cried out.
