Ok, I know Black Belt is dead...

But why?
Why'd Brian decide to kill him off?
:/

In the long run... who knows? If Black Belt's death is important for another issue than said relationship, it's one yet to come. We'll have to wait and see for that one, but again, knowing Brian it's gonna pop up again sooner or later. Unlike Black Belt himself who is dead dead dead dead and don't no one start about no statues.

In the short run, however, it lead to this (that one plus the following two). The last word in the relationship between White Mage Black Mage has not yet been spoken, and I'd wager it's going to be very interesting when they meet again.

And in the very short run it made for one hell of a "holy shit" moment.

I thought BB was good comic releif. I didn't like him, but hey! I almost couldn't believe it! Then BM gave his two cents and everything was all good.

The statue double was destroyed, stabbed to oblivion.

Thus ends "Statue-Gate".

I'd say because BB was basically the same character as Fighter. Other then the whole "getting lost" thing.

Actually, the statue is still intact; it never showed Black Mage destroying it; only disposing of it at the same time Thief and Red Mage disposed of the Mountain Dew. Though I doubt Brian will return to that statue.

Besides, Black Mage was totally right. Black Belt's personality was just a ripoff of Fighter's.

HUH?

I believe he's referring to this comic. It was my little nod to the criticism that Black Belt was too much like Fighter. I don't think he was, but I never miss an opportunity to make fun of myself.

Thus proving yet again why you're the creator, author, and all that jazz of 8-Bit Theater, and not of some other webcomic. You got style. To do awesome jokes without caring any about anything other than your own preferences... and still making us all die from laughter.

I adhorrate you.
