Have you read Vol 21? Sound off in the comments. Was the electro-torture scene a necessary evil or narrative overkill?
The protagonist is a classic archetype: the physically capable but vulnerable young woman in a dystopian or warlord-ruled setting. Subverting expectations would require giving her agency during the torture scene (e.g., using the electricity to short-circuit her restraints). Without that, the trope risks reducing her to a vessel for suffering rather than a character.
: In Volume 21, the narrative focus is on "electro torture," where the character is subjected to electric shocks as part of an interrogation or captive scene.
