Discussion Who does each slayer target?

[Halley]

Eurasia is probably not crazy anymore, since she told important things about the Zahard princesses to Garam and even if she is still crazy, Baam might be able to cure that (the same way he cured yuri).
Wolhaiksong is more of a guess... I think it will be hard for them to remain neutral for long.

It doesn't make sense they 'remain' (when they haven't entirely been - fine with opposing RED and creating a strike force to get BM back while Urek has shown he gets a wild hair in his ass and decides to commit to various tower causes) neutral when the whole tower is going to shit.

Yuri's fate will affect Urek. If it's bad he very well may move on it.

Baam's fate is something that Urek has taken PERSONAL interest in, and now Baam is a focal point of a Tower-wide war.




'but but but but WingTree is politically neutral...' - doesn't fit how the events in the story are stacking up and assumes they will stay that way forever. Just repeating that line (because it's all WT has known in times of peace) doesn't add much to the conversation.

Urek and WT are capable and willing of taking up various tasks. I don't see them sitting on their ass while the world burns and important allies are put at risk.

Further, the tower war may prove a good opportunity to pursue their goals - beyond what they could accomplish in times of peace.

It’s very naïve all those people who think urek will go to war because of yuri zahard, so he will sacrifice his whole friendly organization to please yuri eyes, it’s her fault all what is happening to her, people shouldn’t die because of her dumbness.
Also wingtree as an organization is not very strong, when Evankhell tell you that all that team on 2f would have been fodderized by Evankhell, guys like hachulling and all the others are just advanced ranker, in an open war just urek will be safe like gustang said.

As a favour to Yuri, Urek stole the baby zygena knowing it would piss off the Yeon family, killing several rankers along the way and he threatened to kill Gustang's whole family if he didn't give Hell Joe's soul back. I'd say it's more naive to think Urek will sit back and do nothing as Yuri is executed.

Most likely Wingtree as a whole won't take action, but those that want to will. Such as Urek and the ones who went to 2f with Yuri.

There are two confirmed targets within the slayers:

Karaka is confirmed by siu to target zahard

White is confirmed by the story and IIRC SIU as well to target ari han.

From the past chapters it seems fairly clear yama targets the LPB family head.

My guess is that luslec targets gustang. Gustang seems like he didn't exactly have a good relationship with V at least.

No idea about imort. given the apparent lore changes around the houndborn he might not even be a thing anymore. Given his apparent involvement with yama he might have been the one to target the LPB originally... But now all we can do is guess.

If Gustang is targeted by Luslec, and we accept the premise that Zahard is all knowing, wouldn't it make more sense for him to let Gustang and Luslec destroy each other rather than involving his army directly in it?

Let alone that it appears Gustang is working with several individuals tied to FUG (Rachel and her team at least, Baam, he let White live/go, aided the workshop games, Catfish, possibly Headon) and has just declared war on FUG/Luslec's enemy.

Maybe Gustang will *eventually* become an enemy of FUG. But right now 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' applies especially since Gustang isn't openly hostile to FUG and we have no evidence of the opposite of that either. They have a bigger fish to fry so to speak with Zahard and can settle it after the fact.

If anything I'd guess Luslec is WORKING with Gustang (at least temporarily). Not targeting him.

I'd say no, mostly because luslec can't destroy gustang. Gustang being an irregular and as intelligent as he is is unlikely to be as easily manipulated as khel hellam or other normal tower residents. And zahard isn't really all knowing either.

...and the pesky fact that they have nothing to gain from fighting and everything to gain (at least short term) from allying. But other than that!

As a favour to Yuri, Urek stole the baby zygena knowing it would piss off the Yeon family, killing several rankers along the way and he threatened to kill Gustang's whole family if he didn't give Hell Joe's soul back. I'd say it's more naive to think Urek will sit back and do nothing as Yuri is executed.

Which is basically what I just said above, with specific examples. I agree.

Most likely Wingtree as a whole won't take action, but those that want to will. Such as Urek and the ones who went to 2f with Yuri.

This I less likely agree with though. Urek IS WingTree (and to an almost equal extent Baek). If Urek steeled himself with the resolve to go against Zahard formally (not one of his side-quests) then I don't see the bulk of - up to and including Baek even - joining in. And Yuri is such an important character to WT I can't see the OG's in the organization turning a blind eye. If Yuri herself - a non-member - can activate a WT ranker cell to go accomplish her own personal task of retrieving a 13mo (something not even of use to WT) then I imagine Urek could activate the whole damn lot of them (if he thought they'd be needed) to stop Yuri's execution or even join Baam at some later point.

And as far as Yuri being a non-member... She's as much a non-member as EVK is not a member of FUG - that is to say essentially a member at this point. She can form groups entirely of WT members to go accomplish tasks that aren't in their mandate or even useful to the organization. She was there at the FOUNDING of WT. She can involve herself in the nomination of WT members and refer them to the CEO, Urek (something that not even every other member can do short of those with enough 'wings'). And most importantly she's a very important person to Urek, the defacto boss. (she can even verbally shit on Urek and not expect him to do anything about it) She just can't be an official member because of her Z status (it's not allowed), although she basically is a founding member and non-official figurehead.

Nevertheless, Urek *alone* is more than enough. Even if the others don't join/aren't activated.
