Why does this manga have to be so scatological lately? It's really quite off-putting. And what is up with the villains and Polnareff’s mouth? It seems rather strange and out of place. That aside, I'm not a fan of Avdol’s turning out to be alive. It feels like a cheap twist that retroactively worsens his “death” and its impact. When he was first shown to have died, it had a certain emotional weight. But now, with this reveal, it almost seems like a cop-out. It makes you question the authenticity of the original “death” scene. It's as if the creators wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They wanted the drama of his death but then decided to bring him back for some reason. This kind of inconsistent storytelling can really take away from the overall enjoyment of the manga.
