BIG time Jump! But no explanation as to how he even survived? What about his father??

Was that an Exploding kittens reference I saw?

Wow... to have that happen and then something like this jeez...

Uhm the blade cut locations don't match with earlier CG and now the sprite... (CG was on left side, sprite its on right side)

Darn... over too soon, BUT! given that this long wait period you focused on amassing the sprites, is indeed a good choice to have done!

And the Title screen image he has no markings at all (showing his left side), yet his sprite has them on his left side... it may not really matter in the long run, but these are highly noticeable discrepancies!

Overall both impressed and miffed, that here is some vital information that was just skipped/left out.  So unless you plan on later filling in these two important points, you need to add them in as part of this chapter.  I know you have worked really hard on this, but it could be you worked a little too hard, as to make these slip ups ^^;, I know I would.
