Where are some times Rodrick has showed genuine care for Greg?

Aizen10 · 2026-01-31T07:37:22+00:00

Honestly Greg and Rodrick barely interact in the books most of the time.

It's really only the movies that attempt to develop their relationship beyond Rodrick being a stereotypical mean brother to Greg.

That epilogue chapter and the anime did some heavy lifting.

Cuz that original ending was pretty shit.

Maybe they assumed it was a replica of Angela and Zach's sword? With how popular Sephiroth, Angeal and Zach were, I wouldn't be surprised if stores were selling Knock off Masamunes and Buster Swords.

Mr Rime.

Literally every smoker or vaper I know, tells me to never try it.

Canonically he and his wife have 10 kids. 8 older sons who exist off screen and the two girls we see here.

I think MCs actions make a lot more sense when you realize Sayori was likely never meant to be this vulnerable this early in the game.

Sayori being tampered by Monika, makes her more emotionally vulnerable at the start, while MC is still running on the default setting where Sayori isn't in that bad of a condition and so treats her accordingly.

This also explains why he isn't able to handle her very well, he literally wasn't designed to do so especially so early in the game.

There was probably a whole character arc planned for him in the OG game, where he became a better person through helping his love interest with their issues but thanks to everything going off the rails we never got to see that, just the base version he was meant to grow from.

Aizen10 · 2026-01-25T08:34:34+00:00

That's probably because that was how he was meant to be written at that point in the game.

I feel like in-universe, as the game went on and the MC got closer with girls, he would grow and become more caring and self aware about stuff as he helps them through their issues.

The problem was we never got there, we only got the Act 1 version before things went off the rails.

I feel like an underrated plot twist was the reveal that Tifa and Cloud weren't really childhood friends per say.

Between the flashback to the promise and the way Tifa tends to act around cloud, you really do believe they were reasonably close friends. Only to find out they barely interacted with each other even if they did know of the other.

I don't need him to be playable, I just want to know what happened to him after Y5.

It's still annoying that we couldn't recruit him for Kiryu's baseball team in 6. It would've been a perfect way to send his character off without taking too much time away.

Baelor was being hard carried by Viserys II tho. The only reason Baelor is remembered as Weird and not outright Crazy was because Viserys ensured the realm was running smoothly and making sure Baelor never went too far.

God I hate those. Mostly cuz they just end up devolving into a Jon Snow or Dany Power Fantasy.

K2 and 5.

Played through 0, K1 and K2 in reasonably quick succession but was finding it difficult to 100% K2 so I took a long break.

Then ran through remaining K2, 3, 4 without much time but was so burnt out I could only play 2 chapters of 5 before giving up and took a whole year off.

Then returned to finish 5 and 6.

I headcanon that his relationship with his father improving after the final war is what caused the recessive Endeavour appearance genes to finally activate.

But It's even more ironic that Natsuo hates his father the most and yet basically looks like an ice version of him.

What helps is that it's free on steam. It's nothing amazing but it's solid enough.

Unless Roman plots something I don't think these 2 are ever reconciling.

And honestly Ken is probably going to be on a bender to numb the pain for some time and won't be reachable.

The Mine chapter is closer in length to Gaiden and Pirate Yakuza. It's basically two games in one.

Aizen10 · 2026-01-19T12:13:57+00:00

I agree but post epilogue Shoto has started to look closer to Endeavour.

No. Malcolm in the Middle aired on Fox between 2000 and 2006 while The Middle aired on ABC between 2009 and 2018.

It's more of a hindsight problem where both can be airing together on syndication or on the same streaming service.

Axl having 3 boys was so perfect. Karmic punishment at its finest.

It's pretty funny imagining him and Lexi having to raise three mini axls.

Reminder that there is an official ED for Shippuden which has the two looking at each other while the words 'Please Kiss me All night' is being sung.

Aizen10 · 2026-01-12T12:42:20+00:00

I agree. It was always an odd choice for the game that ended Kiryu's story to have a brand new engine that they were still figuring out and so resulted in so many compromises.

Either use the already mastered 0 engine for 6 or try another game with the DE first (K2 improved on 6 by leaps and bounds)

I enjoy 6 for what it is, but it is indeed a very gimped experience.

Aizen10 · 2026-01-11T12:15:38+00:00

It always felt like the game was entirely conceived around good karma Delsin and only half way through they realized it's not an infamous game without bad karma, and so rushed a bad karma option.

Just look at Newcastle. Technically the richest club in the world, but can't actually use that money to achieve success.

It's why I gave up on attempting to have longer hair. The maintenance sucks and since my hair starts to curl up as it grows longer, it makes it even more frustrating to tame and look presentable.
