The trial is part of yet another dungeon designed for inflicting arbitrary cruelty towards any who enter.

Well, that's been Ellipsis' modus operandi since the earliest comics, so nothing new to see here.

What is the obvious way he gets out of this that I'm missing?

Complains answered "No, because I can't be a chief at all". Which was indeed the wrong answer.
No, it was the right answer when Complains was asked. The angel said the ceremony happened, but if it had happened, then Complains wouldn't've felt his stats go up now because they would've gone up then. The angel's actions have changed the facts.

The question was whether Complains would be a beneficial chief. That's not something you can answer from your character sheet. That would require you to be able to see the future, and only a fortune teller can do that, and Complains is not one. The problem is that the question was wrong to begin with. Then, denying the answer on the ground of Complains actually being made chief is also wrong, because the question was not that he would be a chief but that he would be a good chief.

[up][up] By the looks of it was a two-step ceremony. Chief, by the bloody handprint, removed his status as "empty goblin" and marked him as a successor. But that's just successor, not chief. Angel here finalized his chief status and that gave him the boost.

The angel didn't say anything about "part of a ceremony". There's no two-step process mentioned at all. The angel claimed that the ceremony was completed.

Ceremony of re-goblinization. She did the chiefing ceremony.

So Complains has literally been designated Chief of his tribe by an angel of the goblin god. Sure, it happened as part of a petty argument because he's a stubborn a-hole, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been divinely appointed his position. His journey towards being a rival to Duv continues...

... It's a winged goblin that's supposed to unite the clans or whatever, right? And has wings in his IME, now... Maybe once he gets more Hell Energy or whatever they'll grow in for real.

[up][up][up] No, "He later performed a ceremony with you, selecting you as the next chief and even giving you a mark of leadership." The angel said that Complains was made the chief, nothing about "re-goblinization".

Are we back to the old Ellipsis? The one who doesn't finish drawing but releases the comic anyway?

I think that is done. My guess is that Complains' IME looks weird because he's in a weird space right now.

Everything else looks complete, at least.

Eh this is the last comic with his purple wings. Usually she fills them in more.

It definitely looks more finished now than when it was first posted.

It's only this page now that there's more focus on the hilt that I clocked it.

Actually it's the gems in the last panel of previous page going in exact blue-pink-white-pink-blue colors of the pride flag that really drove the point home for me.

Hmmm. It looks like I was unclear about a detail in the comic. My bad.

Chief didn't MAKE Names into the next Chief. Chief only marked him as his choice. It's kinda like endorsing him. So he's only just now become Chief.
