Q: If Chul is only half pheonix and he can transform, then can Arthur transform as he’s mostly dragon now? - Dragoncommands
A: Arthur isn't actually part-dragon because Sylvie doesn't give Arthur her body. She gives up her body so that his can be rebuilt. Because her body contains so much more mana than his, the rebuilt body ends up being more powerful. Almost draconic. Just that it is like an asura's body. Stronger, etc. So I've always imagined it as being something unique to him, not specifically asuran or the body of a dragon.
Q: You mentioned in the last QnA about how you focused on the family aspect heavily due to your Korean upbringing. Which I love, cause family is a big thing in my life. With that, will we ever get a family tree of Arthur's or see/meet Grey's Earth parents? - Marcutio | Godspell | Caera <3
A: That might be fun to establish in the lore or build out seperately, but it might be hard to really put in this family tree in a meaningful way in the actual story.
Q: Hello Turtleme, how much stronger would you say is Cadell compared to Windsom in terms of physicality - Hasty
A: Ah, a power-scale question. I would say it depends ;D
Q: In chapter 450, you wrote that Perhata was 'named above the nameless and faceless'. Does this mean that the wraith group that Art faced in vol 10 was a very big group as all their names were mentioned or is it more like nobody normally knows the names of wraiths in general? - Arakret
A: Well, it's not like Wraiths don't have names (their parents didn't hate them that much). The Wraith team that Arthur went up against in Book 10 knew each others' names, which is pretty important in a team. It's more like, the Wraiths that are known outside of their respective groups are the ones "above the nameless and faceless". I would say Perhata and the ones that came out recently are stronger than the ones that Arthur fought in Book 10.
Q: Out of all the reincarnations, is Agrona underestimate Nico’s intelligence a little too much? I feel like Nico is going to create something that will help art fight back Agrona or Kezees - Esai
A: I mean, I would say intelligence isn't something Agrona is particularly lacking so it's not a quality that he places much importance on. Also, Agrona knows he has Nico in the palm of his hand as long as he has Cecilia.

Q: Is there anything you would change about TBATE if you had an opportunity to redo it? - Shlergy
A: That's a risk. I mean, I definitely think that there are things that I could've done a lot better looking back, but at the same time, TBATE has gotten to where it is because of how I wrote things back then. Changing things might've not made it as popular, or it might've even changed the course of how the story panned out.
