What To Do About the Name?

As the team trades blows with the enemy, Aira moves to support a wounded Mantisian only to be hemmed in by three of the suited aliens. Jiji turns aside an incoming laser with a ki blast, opening a window for Mantisian to strike the mechanical-arm alien pinning her. Aira then issues orders: hold against the relentless fire until a gap appears for an ambush, keep Jiji focused on the missile and sniper suits to throw off their aim, and have Mantisian tie up the mantis suit. Lashing the arm alien with her hair, she charges in, only to be caught and crushed by the vibration alien's pressurized field.

Jiji's ki cannot pierce the alien's barrier, and Mantisian is too tied up with the mantis suit to assist. With the missile alien locking onto him, Jiji recalls Momo's words about naming attacks and gives it a try. A vision of the Evil Eye flashes through his mind, and he fires a concentrated ki beam he christens the Evil Gun straight at the alien holding Aira.

The Aira, Jiji, and Mantisian fight against the Kur advance unit continues. Jiji deflects the sniper's shot to shield Aira. Aira binds the mechanical-arm alien in a cocoon but is seized by the vibration alien's shockwave zone. Mantisian takes a beating from the mantis suit. Jiji names and fires the Evil Gun to free Aira.

This nineteen-page Volume 12 chapter belongs to the Space Globalists Arc of the Kintama Hunt Saga. It debuts Jiji's signature Evil Gun, a payoff to the naming lesson Momo delivered two chapters earlier.
