How do you know that the bolas aren't made of alien-made superheavy materials? Erika's cyborg parts are evidently of alien tech origins (it was implicitly made by her alien Mechanical Lifeforms allies), after all; what's to stop her from having all of her equipment being made using advanced alien tech?

I don't, but I don't know they are either.

In absence of sufficient evidence one way or the other, the best conclusion to draw is simply not to draw one. There is insufficient evidence to say that Buttercup could not have broken out of her own volition, but there is also insufficient evidence to say that she could.

Impending Big Damn Heroes from a certain (usually) green-clad someone, anyone?

And is it just me, or did the artist forget to draw Blossom's hair bow?

... Guys, I can't believe we missed the title namedropping one of our tropes!

Yeah, they only did it for the pun; the actual trope makes no appearance here.

Well, I think it's safe to say that Blossom being The Leader is more about actual leadership and strategic/tactical thinking rather than being The Ace, while its Buttercup who is the both-speedy-and-powerful combat powerhouse of the trio (leaving Bubbles to be The Heart, the animal-communicator, and so far the most sociable of the sisters).

[up] Quite true. She even managed to get Bell out of "cold and calculating fury" mode and back into "irrational and reckless rage" mode again just by being herself.

I'm particularly fond of the bloody eye. My biggest problem with the No-Sell as traditionally used is that it's typically used wrong. The fact that the kick clearly did damage to Buttercup highlights the fact that the No-Sell isn't about being so powerful that the attack glances harmlessly off you; rather, it's being tough enough to take it without so much as flinching. That is what makes a badass.

I think the blood is coming from her temple, and is simply spilling over her (persumably closed) eye.

Yup, her eye is A-OK, and the blood is coming from her temple.

Does the penultimate panel count as Casual Danger Dialogue? I mean, they couldn't really believe that that was enough to keep Bell down for the count, could they?

And I don't know about you guys, but I think Blossom's expression in the fourth panel is supposed to be a subtle reference to Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt's "normal" art style, because man, it strongly reminds me of Panty and Stocking's faces.

So Blossom wears white panties while Bell wears black?

Whoah, good eyes there for catching the scant glimpse of Blossom's underwear. But you sure you're not mistaking Magic Skirt-induced shadows for Bell's AFAIK-unshown underwear?

Just like Batman, in order to hide in the all concealing shadows you have to wear black and dress up a friend in a clashing red-green outfit to draw eyes away from you.

But what does Buttercup have going on there with her low riders? [lol]

You sure it's not just that her pants slid down a little during the many scuffles and tumble-downs and all the other physical violence she went through with either Erika or Bell?

The black in this page is that waistband coloration. Not panties.

I believe he's referring to how, for example a couple of pages ago, all we get to see under Bell's skirt is total darkness. It's more of a joke at the obvious censorship than a serious interpretation, I think.

Bell's selective censoring at work:

... That looks like some sort of short petticoat under skirt in panel 5, right?
