#red and vio continue to be subtly matched together

[casual-praxis]

Thinkin' about the Four Swords manga instead of being productive again..

Does anyone else wonder what would have happened if Shadow succeeded in dunking Vio in the lava during the volcano execution scene? Like, along with him, two of the Four Swords would have also been lost

Would Red also be affected by his sword getting destroyed, or would nothing happen beyond the general ramifications of Vio dying? I feel like it's not touched upon very often how Red's sword was also at risk here lmao

I'm not sure why, but I was always under the impression that the swords were the most important factor here. The colors themselves are important, yea, but the sword is what spawned them into being. So as long as that's okay, they would be too, right? I'm not sure where I got that notion from or if it even makes sense, but I've been wondering about it for a while now

Honestly, the fact Shadow never thought to just toss Red's sword in the lava once he acquired it is kinda surprising

No matter what, that would have made their end goal impossible, even if it didn't result in any of the colors dying
