What is the Big Subjugation Arc? Synopsis and Best Scenes Summary | When & Which Manga Volume [Chiikawa]

Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi put rotary wings on their heads and rise into the sky, carrying what appears to be tools for Subjugation. They descend to head toward a large target on the ground, and the three move while looking in the same direction. After the flight, Hachiware, back on the ground, takes it in as a major Subjugation, and Chiikawa also feels the weight of having been there together. The small bodies in the air, the spinning wings, and the ground spreading below convey a height and tension different from their usual walks.

By the trees, they face the presence of a large opponent that seems to need help. Chiikawa stops anxiously, Hachiware thinks of a way to lend a hand without forcing things, and Usagi readies their tools and tries to move forward. With 'the large Ano-ko' before them, the path of the three advancing while keeping their distance becomes complicated, and placing the giant silhouette and the small trio in the same frame heightens the tension of the Subjugation.

As the distance with the large Ano-ko closes, Hachiware cares about their companions' positions, and Chiikawa, while overwhelmed by the opponent's size, does not look away. Usagi also readies their tools. The small bodies flying with rotary wings, the large shadow, and the tools at their feet reflect the trio's preparation and hesitation. As their respective movements overlap, the focus shifts to how they will respond to the opponent right before them.
