Actually, I'm fairly certain Cang is alive: on the page where Bambietta activates Vollstandig, a column of light bursts from the ice prison, so he is most certainly alive and kicking. The panel next to that one has a column erupting from some rubble, so fairly certain BG9 could be alive too.

Still, pretty awesome chapter. Bambietta's one of the Sternritter I'm most interested in, so seeing more from her was welcome. Komamura's armor was pretty epic, too, as was Shinji being his troll self. Then there's the Vollstandigs...yowzer.

Cool chapter overall.
