Delicious, whose full name is 23 Liminal Blossom Punctures the Heart of the Unrepentant, Deliciously, also called Liminal Blossom, is a rogue angel (probably a Petal Knight) working under Omun Vash. Delicious is an "obstacle eliminator" for the Golden Pearl Pleasure Guild, which means she serves as an elite mercenary or assassin when Vash's thugs prove insufficient. Her mission was to retrieve Allison's Key of Kings, but she was somehow captured by the Thorn Knights.[2]
History[]
KSBD Chapter 3[]
When she was first seen, Delicious had taken out 82 White Chain with a needle in the pleasure house of Praman Nand. Accompanied by her master Omun Vash, the two sought to retrieve the key lodged in Allison's forehead. Delicious attempted to kidnap Allison, but she and her master were suddenly halted by members of the Flesh Cutters Guild.
KSBD Chapter 4[]
Several other guilds were present as well and it appeared word of the key had already spread throughout Throne. Seeing no other option, Vash requested that Delicious head to her airship at Loading Dock A and crushed an orb located in her walking stick. The orb released a burst of red smoke, giving Delicious an opportunity to escape.
Meanwhile two floors below, guilds had already begun to war over the key. Delicious arrived soon enough, but the fighting took her attention away from Allison, who managed to escape. Cio entered the fray and by using a wall of paper soldiers gave Allison enough time to reanimate White Chain. Seeing her opportunity, Delicious leapt onto White Chain but was unable to defeat them before Allison left the building.
WON Chapter 2[]
After unknown events, 23 Liminal Blossom was captured by the Thorn Angels and was brought to Metatron 1[3]. We see 23 Liminal when 6 Juggernaut Star brings 82 White Chain to his master. There, in front of a living Metatron, 6 Juggernaut kills 23 Liminal as an example of what alternative White Chain has regarding joining the Thorns. Moments before being beaten to death by 6 Juggernaut, she urges White Chain to flee. She states that she will reincarnate, and if White Chain remains, they will both die and "forget what change is". Her last words are: "Fuck your master! Glory to the new flesh!"[4]
Delicious's greeting to White Chain is "You look fabulous out of your armor", implying that she had not previously seen White Chain's human-like form in the Void. (It is unclear whether they had never met in their true forms, or whether White Chain had merely changed significantly since the most recent time they'd met, presumably from non-human to human-like.) White Chain's expression is shocked and she tries to buy Delicious's life by promising her service, suggesting that the reverse is also true and she was unaware Delicious also had a human-like form.[4]
WON Chapter 3[]
We see Liminal Blossom slowly turning into stone, with a small spark of flame remaining, which will eventually regenerate and reincarnate. She's taken by 2 Michael as an example of how the corrupted creation could be purged and reincarnated.[5]
Appearance[]
23 Liminal Blossom's true shape
Delicious's body is stony and light pink with numerous orifices that release turquoise fire. Her head is asymmetrical and is composed of a rocky purplish material that is cleaved down the middle. Delicious possesses three visible eyes, with two of them running down the right side of her face. Delicious wears no discernible clothing, her only covering being red hair-like material around her neck like a mane, around her wrists, and surrounding her crotch.
Her true form, in the void, is a feminine figure with black, purple-like skin with large magenta wings and a collar of feathers or fur around her neck. She has pinkish hair that rises up and floats, with eyes lying inside. She has two right eyes.
Abilities[]
As an assassin, Delicious is a formidable opponent who revels in combat. She employs a mixture of tactics, using hand-to-hand combat, distractions, and sheer speed to overwhelm her opponents. Delicious is often seen holding blue throwing needles, which she uses to eliminate people quickly. Weaker guild members are unable to keep up with her agility and Delicious seems to have no difficulty fighting dangerous enemies like the Pursuers.
Skillwise, Delicious seems to be roughly on par with 82 White Chain. Neither is able to gain an advantage in combat, and Delicious sustains no visible injuries even after being struck by Empty Palm Vanquishes the Wicked. She is also quite tricky, being able to defeat White Chain once with a sneak attack and going so far as to kiss White Chain to gain the upper hand.
Quotes[]
- "My, my, darling. You look fabulous out of your armor. I guess we'll never finish that bout at Hell 71, will we?
Leave. I'll reincarnate. They'll kill you, too, and we'll both forget what change is."[2] - "It's no use, darling. We're different. I'll be back in time, and I'll change again.
Fuck your master.
Glory to the new flesh!"[4]
Trivia[]
- Delicious is currently in her vapor state, meaning she is quite young for an angel.
- Delicious's weapon of choice appears to be based on the bo-shuriken or Japanese throwing needle.
