Things look like they’re about to get out hand. Maybe some intervention from Brooke and Krystin?
EDIT: In case panel 4 is too vague, Sun is referring to Luke Skywalker and Star Wars.

Could things be degenerating between Brooke and Krystin now?
Kick her ass Sun! See how much of a bitch Sabrina is? All Sun tried to do was help and Sabrina has the nerve to try and put her down. When it was Sun that last saved your ass from getting stomped in the Ring. But does Sabrina care? Of course not everything is about her. What arrogance Sabrina has. Arrogance from someone who has never won anything. I can not believe people actually defended her.
whoah!! BBD..
calling SUn to kick Sabrina’s ass..
ohh!! I kida thought you don’t like Sun..
(Facepalm)
Okay Sabrina, normally, I’ve supported you but it’s time to stop the pity party and either step up or step out. She wants to make it in the business, she can’t let one loss upset her like this. She wants to be a champ? Then she better get used to the pressure because when you’ve got gold, people are going to be comming at you from all sides. Gabrielle, Mariana, the fans, and even Sun put their faith in you to become big time, either get back on your feet, get out there, and show that Ultragirl is worth watching in victory and defeat, or pack it up.
Okay.. is something out of order here?
Top Row, then Left Column, then Righ Column, that should do it 😀
And hey, we all say things we regret about half a second later, espcially when we are upset, even to the people we care about. You know what, it happens, and she regrets it, and now its coming to a head.
Sabrina will snap out of it, I know it, and De Sade will be revealed for the loser that she is.
How many tantrums has De Sade thrown since Sabrina arrived and took her lime light, and guess what, she doesn’t give a **** when she puts down her own friends. That’s the difference, De Sade only cares about herself.
Come on Sabrina! Come on Sun!
And you weren’t confused by that? Comics are normally left to right then down. Not double panels down then right, then down again…
Ai-ya! Mo Chen sees the intention but took a few times to get it.
I agree with you GoldenGirl, I think the same 😉
I had a bit of a problem with that as well…
Here it comes – NINJA MIND MELD! Sabrina has some maturing to do, that’s for sure…
cue Joey Styles “CATFIGHT!”…oh wait they’re later on in the card /ducks
so what’s this now- is the root of everything bad in Brina-ville because she feels abandoned by her BFF who has a whole new stable to hang around with instead of hanging with her so Brina’s lonely? i don’t think a Brooke intervention will work any better than trying to put a fire out with kerosene though.
VI doesn;t seem up atm
Well it looks like she got her friend a little bit upset. I think that will spell danger for a certain group.
Now the question remains will Sabrina get over her pity party in time.
Oh, and hey, check it out, Sabrina went and got ANGRY! Come on girl, that’s the spirit!
Yup, the order got my head spinning. But maybe this is a Chinese edition? I don’t get the episode references either; But that just might be me since no one else mentioned it. And boss, the second panel looks to me like it has the heart shape cutout of Brook’s top colored in. It is a cutout. The guys want to see silicon. Meowwww!
Great tension build up here! Yumm!
star wars- Luke the untrained brand spankin new jedi wannabe in episode 4 vs jedi master in episode 6 vs brina rookie rassler compared to Brina future champ
Bratslap in 3…2…1… And TOTALLY has it coming.
So much wonderful on this page! Brooke popping in to say “oooh!” in panel two. “I can’t just ninja my way out of this.” Sun is just trying to get Sabrina ready for her next match… but Brina can’t see that and turns nasty on her. Girls! We’re insane.
I wonder if… ahem!!
I like to offer ‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini.. an offer, let’s talk.. I have a solution on Sabrina’s problem..
very very simple..
if Sabrina agrees?
M.G.C. cheers:
LET’S GO DIAZ….
LET’S GO SILVERS
LET’S GO DIAZ….
LET’S GO SILVERS…
The panel order messed me up, too. You might consider using an arrow between panels to guide the reader, much like those old Forties cartoonists used to do (I’m thinking Dick Sprang on Batman) when they had to. That said, I liked this page.
BBD, as you can see, Sun is prepared to do just that! Sabrina’s all wound up from the last 20 minutes and this might be splitting hairs, but she didn’t put Sun down, but she absolutely did snap on her and for not a very good reason either. As you can tell, Sabrina instantly regretted saying something like that when she was only trying to help.
Ronin, I think that was very well put. I think Sabrina’s going to realize too that she’s got to rise to the occasion or get out of the way. The WWE is littered with those kind of stories, so we’ll have to see what Sabrina decides to do. (hopefully sooner than later).
Dyna, what GoldenGirl said. Sorry for the confusion. I got way too fancy for my own good. 😛
GhostEraser, it’s the truth! But she’s still pretty new to this. Either she’s going to get it together or she won’t. You can count on Sabrina not half-assing it.
jpiv, LOL, yes later in the card. 😉 VI is up!! Sabrina doesn’t like what the Damage Inc girls have bee doing to Sun (hazing) but really she’s just super upset and just lashing out at everyone, especially her best friend. As you can see, Sabrina instantly regretted her outburst. The best thing you can hope for from Brooke intervention is nil. The probable thing is disaster.
Snowy, we have seen that anger is a good way to get Sabrina focused, but she doesn’t do well with guilt as we’ve seen before (like before Sabrina’s match with Xtina). The big question is if Sabrina will get her head on straight, and that includes us seeing what Gabrielle has to think of the whole thing.
Ha ha, Golden Girl! Yes, you have seen the Lil Dragon’s plan. But it might’ve worked too well! You can see that Sabrina knew she screwed up and wishes she could take it back. Hmmm, that’s a good point about De Sade and the tantrums she’s had since about page 7. XD
LOL Champ! I know the boys can’t get enough of Brooke’s milkshakes. XD And sorry about the confusing layout, I’ll do better next time. 😀 And thanks to my wingman jpiv for the Star Wars explanation!
Cookie Ogre, I agree 100%.
Hey Lora! I’m glad you liked the page. 😀 Yeah, poor Sun is just trying to help, but Sabrina’s way too wound up and emotional to see that. And now it’s coming to a head. O_o
LOL MGC, I can’t wait to see what kind of solution you have to Sabrina’s problem. I’m positive it isn’t dishonorable in any way.
Darkmark, I’m happy you liked the update, even with the confusing layout. XD
Why is Krystin so quiet? She’s my favourite Upstart and I want to see more of her! 🙁
I do like seeing Krystin wrestle. She reminds me a lot of Iceman Dean Malenko. Incredible in ring skill, very little to no gimmick, and can slap on almost any submission from any possition in the ring.
Oh yeah…Dean Malenko and the Texas Cloverleaf were definite nods for Krystin. 😀
*Sigh* Oh, Sabrina, I get being upset about losing the match, but attacking Sun just isn’t gonna help anything.
Trishelle, you want more Krystin? Ask and you shall receive. 😉 You’re not alone in favoriting Krystin. She’s got her own Fan Club on the forums, though it’s been a little quiet there lately. 😛
You said it, Chris. As you can see though, Sabrina’s about to reap what she has sown.
Bows to the bossman
Alan, thank you for showing restraint in responding to Mo Chen’s hurried comment. Other than my confusion, I loved the expressions, the exchanges and even Brooke’s little injection to stir things up more…
Maybe it was just me, but I had to read through it a few times to get where to go on the panels. Goes to show you I should stop reading manga before I read my webcomics 🙂
There’s an old saying, with friends like these who needs enemies… It feels like a gang up on pity party Sabrina today. Mind you she needs a time out in a corner with all her lamenting about one match that she lost.
No one can go undefeated, except for Musashi…
I lost the sequence in the final panel. Not quite sure I followed that right, since Sun appeared to be running away in the previous panel.
Same as I did, Trev. At the bottom half read down the left side, then jump to the right side…
Panel 4 – Star Wars reference
Panel 5 – Brina yells
Panel 6 – Sun Leaves
Panel 7 – Brina Whines
Panel 8 – Sun comes back and grabs her
Haven’t commented here lately, but I’m still reading and loving the comic. I just had to pop in and say: yay for Sun being a Star Wars nerd! I love her even more now. 🙂
Looks like Sabrina is channeling Peter Parker “It’s all my fault and nothing is going to be alright” mentality lol. I believe Sun has reached her limit of using the “kid gloves” on her BFF, which might work out better for both right now. I think Sun knows Sabrina is in a bad spot right now and needs a mental kick in the but. I don’t see a falling out like earlier, but I not discounting some more emontional fireworks.
Long distance high-five to Dyna!!
Kurt, yeah definitely a dogpile of sorts on Sabrina, and not undeservedly but I’m sure a lot of it is stemming from the fight she’s causing with Sun. People love their BFF!
Trevor, it’s good to know that there’s still room to dogpile on the subject. XD Come on, man! You told me a year ago that you wanted to see what Sabrina’s reaction to her first loss would be and that’s all you got? XD jk I swear it seemed to make sense, the layout, when I thumbnailed it.
Hey Alana!!! I’m so glad you stopped by! I swear I had just visited your sites after reading your Goodreads recommendations (looking into audiobook versions). I’m glad you liked the Sun/Star Wars bit. XD
jabberwocky, your comic knowledge serves you well. And you’re right about Sun. She loves Sabrina but she’s reached her limit especially because she probably wouldn’t have stuck around as long as she has for anyone else. More emotional fireworks yet to come, but maybe not what you might expect.
ah yes well Bree you went dark side on the wrong person and sun bear i dont blame you for tweeking in all honestly it might even screw bree headon straight faster
The Luke that Brina reminds me of right now is the one from Episode 3. Which is to say, a baby. SWISH!
Comichero, looks like Sun is going to have to go all Sith on Sabrina to get her right again. XD
LOL Stygimoloch! Well played.
It really gets harder and harder to sympathize with Sabrina! She’s had the best opportunities of all the Upstarts and if I was one of them I would be really pissed at her sorry attitude. God girl get it the hell together…
I’m more surprised Sun admits to having seen Star Wars (Apparently The Empire Strikes Back) and Return of the Jedi than anything else. I don’t care what anybody says, IV, V, and VI are still Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. I, II, and III are the ones with the appended titles.
But yeah, Sun should totally kick her ass. She’s hurt emotionally, yeah, but if she honestly thinks nobody supports her after Chloe’s assault, she must not have been out there. More than half the arena was on her side by the end of the match, with only a few apparent de Sade holdouts after the post-match beating. If that’s no support from the fans, then the definition of abandonment by the fans must have changed significantly from my understanding. Yeah, she lost, but the heels were doing their job in helping put the face over, even if Chloe was honestly trying to injure her.
I mean, didn’t her mother (or whoever has the most influence over her personal and professional life other than herself, Marina, and Gabrielle) teach her that there’s a time and place for for everything, and that now is the time for RAGE!!!, not self-pity? If it were me, I’d be attempting to dismantle a locker to use the door in my other match later.
I still stand by what I said earlier giving her current actions and how subconsciously at least she’s rather self centered.
Yes I know she has some growing to do but if she doesn’t do some maturing soon she risks losing more matches and possibly more and even losing her fan-base except for a few who are true fans and those who gives her sympathy of how ‘promising’ a career she showed signs of earlier on. Management would have no choice but to start backing someone else and that’s a surefire way of going deeper into a depression.
But we can’t just focus on her the others have matches too and Kristine seems to have a lot more at stake.
Am I the only one who thinks that that looks like Sun’s about to plant one heck of a kiss on Brina? Then again my mind is often located in the gutter… but still, that’d be awesome… and shut up Brina for a little while, as she stammers and tries to figure out what just happened… and Sun walks out for real. But that’s just me…
Always room for fan service, even though it probably wouldn’t happen. Ah the realms of “What if”…
Sabrina needs to listen to Sun. Go the tweener route! We’ve seen glimpses of it! And then… as you move down that path, maybe go full heel. >:)
