Commentary:
Speech bubble placement was kinda of difficult on this page. I think this might be the page with the most speech bubbles on it. And EIGHT whisper speech bubbles. I decided to place Dokan's speech bubble in panel 2 above his hands since panel 6 has him in the same pose, so I wouldn't be hiding his hands from the world. Covering ears with a speech bubble is one thing, but I regret having to cover Jiro's head spikes in panel 3.

There's a LOT that the reader can infer from the dialogue in panel 3, but I'm not sure if I should elaborate on them at the moment (mostly because this commentary is going to be huge. I'll just let the readers think about it. Most of it involves Gaia Powers and their history with Usaro.

At first I was going to have Rikku speak to Lubo in Lubo's native language, but then I figured that Rikku would naturally use his own language for this. However, this means that Dokan won't be in on the conversation since he does not speak taht language. Oh well.

If you're wondering why Lubo is being so open to Rikku (after just being relieved for not being revealed to be involved with Usaro), I'd like to remind you that out of all the samurais, Lubo actaully likes/trusts Rikku. He IS the one who gave Lubo his sword after all.
