Commentary:
Not gonna lie, I really love this page a lot. This kind of scene was something I had imagined Lopu doing with his samurai friends for a long while and this was the perfect opportunity to do it. I loved figuring out their poses too. The big panel in the middle was a bit tricky, but well worth it.

The game they're playing is similar to Cho-han, a traditional Japanese game where you guess if the dice roll is evens or odds, as that's what the name of them literally translates to, "Even-Odd". The lack of shirts/gloves is to make it difficult to hide things and be accused of cheating, which isn't very likely in this kind of game, but they have the potential to play other games too.

I think this is the first time I've gotten to really show the numbers in this comic, besides the hard-to-notice police armor numbers that indicate their squad number. They work like Roman numerals, so I figured a triangle would be similar enough to a V that readers would understand how it works. The triangle is a bit flexible in that it can look different depending on it being a "4" or "6"
