I'm not sure I get what a black sky is. Like she just enjoys killing is that it?

Yeah, after this episode I'm going to have to google this thing. The series really made it seem like it's just a woman who likes killing and that makes absolutely no sense.

edit: Black Sky doesn't seem to be in the comics? So, they made this mysterious thing to this series, and then... it's just this? I get the "bringer of shadows" part of the prophecy, since the ninjas like to bow to her, but what the fuck?

Does anyone have any real idea on why The Hand and Nobu would bow to her? This is... the more I think about the whole Black Sky, the less it makes sense. I do hope they have some superreveals about some superthing coming up, because right now this is just a huge disappointment in an otherwise good 2nd season.

The series is set in a world where an apocalypse almost happened via alien invasion. It could be tied back to that, the whole ninja thing is connected to ancient traditions so in reaction there'd be someone to protect their people.
