In true Burkian fashion, an explanation that raises more questions than it answers <3

We're learning... So much today.
38126: Tom - Wednesday, July 26 2023 - 7:59 PM
So Burk doesn't even use their powers?!
Those faces are scary. Those spirits are scary. In hindsight who knows how much they did influence Burk?
38127: Anonymous Person - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 3:00 AM
So they look like Burk because they're his fans... The situation is reversed and they're the simps!
38128: Zyzyzyryxy - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 3:18 AM
So Burk is just Burk, that is a class with power beyond humans and spirits alike.
38129: noname - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 4:41 AM
Ahh. Okay. It's not that Burk has to occasionally do bad stuff in order to keep his powers, but more like these guys are... actually, they kinda sound like Amanojaku the way they describe their relationship with Burk...
Also, you should probably be a bit scared now, Morty. Because you are here, and the devils are here, and they seem to have it out for your lights... As in, they want them knocked out...

holy shit
38131: Zed - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 6:12 AM
Eh, I think it's misleading for them to say they've never assisted when we've already seen their advice be useful to Burk for dodging.
Then again, we don't know if Burk's esper powers enable a lot of his dodging, since they border on autopilot/super instinct. It's not possible for all his instant reads to be because of shoulder spirit advice.
38132: Thursday - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 6:19 AM
Now we just need Vonesperda to join him too and whoops now she looks like Burk too
that'd be kinda funny
38133: Dubu - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 6:41 AM
Burk simps? That's the best lore really
38134: nice - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 6:58 AM
...I'm confused, why is burk so powerful then?
38135: Welf - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 7:28 AM
These guys seem somewhat suspicious.
Maybe Vonesperade joins his entourage after this.
38136: dorf - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 7:35 AM
Never assisted? They're being a little misleading here; red guy gave him that "protip" back in https://www.neorice.com/hoh_burk_2447
38137: Gils - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 8:13 AM
look at those smiles. I wonder what other entities in this comic has smiles MUWHAHAHAHA
38138: Ahriman - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 8:33 AM
so they are fangirls
38139: Melany - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 8:51 AM
Possessed by evil spirits and offered a faustian bargain, Burk plays the uno reverse card and converts the devil to the cause of heroism. A++ memelord energy.
Burk just kinda standing there mid-windup, is he just being excessively polite or did he lose consciousness?
38140: Samniel - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 9:19 AM
Uh, Burk? You might want to rein in your shoulder Burks...? They're getting kind of scary...
38141: ? - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 9:39 AM
i mean if i had to choose a guy to simp for in this world, it'd also be burk
getting to look like him is a solid bonus
guess there's also a zero percent chance of either of them joining up with morty because he's an esper who's willing to sign a contract
38142: Sam - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 12:01 PM
Saying they never helped Burk is a blatant lie. For example, page 2447.
38143: Sloss - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 12:21 PM
Burk is oddly silent and inexpressive
38144: Melany - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 3:07 PM
By "never once assisted in fights" I assume they mean directly granting him their powers, in a vein similar to how Evyle can use powers of various spirits she has collected. Their assistance is likely limited to just providing information and advice.
38145: Charter - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 3:27 PM
Could Vonny be beat into a third shoulder Burk?
38146: UnknownID - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 3:56 PM
That's kinda creepy xD
38147: someone - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 5:00 PM
Why is everyone mistaking "telling him something" for "assisting him"? They're pretty clearly talking about helping him fight by granting him power, not just talking to him. They even say in this comic that they've just given him suggestions at most.
38148: The_Squished_Elf - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 6:51 PM
@Everyone - I think what the shoulder Burks are implying here is that the advice on 2447 was completely immaterial. It didn’t materially help Burk. He WOULD have been just as unscathed from Sky Stroke’s surprise attack. They basically just asked him to not do it the cool way, and instead do it the funny way.
Which is both significantly more terrifying and entirely on brand for Burk.
38149: Orange - Thursday, July 27 2023 - 9:15 PM
Here I was thinking Burk just had so much spirit that he created his own, but it seems more like they just dig his look c:

...Oh. Oh man, this is quite the turn.
Two Ciels better than one.
is ciel therefore something similar to these guys? her appearance and name is just similar to noah's preferences and not overwhelmingly... burk.
