I figured he was always fully grown, and the fact that he's a corgi just means he's tiny.

The only label appropriate for Zwei is that he is Zwei

He will be forever a puppy until the real time-skip happens...because the one that happened, may as well have been pointless.

I don't know if there's a trope for it, but it's a commonly-discussed trend among feminists. "Women are Unicorns," the attitude where men approach women as though they're some unfathomable eldritch being of mystery who you could study for hundreds of years and still never understand.

I think it works both ways (in tropeland) - I only mentioned girls-are-aliens specifically because that's where my trainwreck of thought was current headed while typing my post. Boys-are-aliens seems to be a thing, too.

Is Zwei a full-grown dog now or is he still a cute badass little pupper?

Zwei was a full-grown dog the day he first showed up. Albeit a very flexible one.

He's a corgi. Corgwn are small dogs.

Zwei is just so much bullshit it's hilarious. Him being adorable helps.

Watching a random person cut through horrible monsters with little explanation (before and after) is anti-climatic. Watching a little dog with short legs do it is funny. I think it might be Bathos?

Dogs could be the size of a bear, but you won't care once they loll their tongue out hoping for a treat.

I think one can do a running joke about how Zwei is all Taiyang has left.

That man has a really, really bad record with people he loves leaving him in some way or another.

That would bode very poorly considering he's, ya know, a dog...

Maybe aura makes them live longer in Remnant?

And possibly immortal and indestructible.

Of course. According to Welsh legend, the corgi is the mount of the fae, making it a magical and immortal being that is capable of engaging in magical and spiritual battles.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

Please tell me you aren't making that up, because if that's actual Welsh folklore, then that's awesome.

Nope, that's a real thing. The lighter patch on the back and sides of corgis is called the "fairy saddle" and is, according to legend, Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.

What we need is someone who can ride Zwei into battle. Shrinking Semblance? Tiny Penny 2.0?

[up]Or any corgi in general.

Even if you're not, that pic's acceptable by itself.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

So, I skipped a couple of pages when some people started accusing Sun of sexual harrasment and saying he's as bad as Adam. Did I missed anything noteworthy?

Also, some feels.
