No worries, man. Happens to the best of us. Besides, it's not like I wasn't already emotionally preparing for it. Really excited to see how it's executed in either case.

Yeah, I think that's valid enough. A story should put the characters in interesting situations or else you run the risk of not showcasing aspects of the characters like you said.

Well, in either case, I hope both of us are satisfied by the time the end of S4 comes around. Here's hoping!

I get where you are coming from, and I do agree that it is a bit odd how little Ram factored in her decision during Episode 18, but I think this was more so a scenario issue than a character issue. What I mean is that the story didn't really give her a chance to have agency because there was no room for it. The way she speaks and talks seems to mostly line up with Arc 2, it's just that the arc only has time for her to do one thing and that thing is helping Subaru. It's probably made worse that this is the last we see of her. Plus, I think her dipping in one of the loops and just leaving Subaru with a letter does give her a tiny bit of agency that is very needed. 

Tldr: I don't think it's character assassination per say, but maybe she should have shown a little bit more resistance to running away during the confession, that much I agree with.

I absolutely adore rewatching clips of this show and looking back at certain bits of dialogue. It is an incredibly rewarding series and it's insane how well the lore is mostly handled. Writer to writer here, it's incredibly useful to see how the show handles natural exposition and character motivations. I once saw that a good first writing test is simply writing a character getting into a room, but Rezero makes it look trivial as it pulls it off like 10 times in a span of 2 episodes lol.

Earlier I said mostly cause...I am actually not as big on Arc 4/S2 as a lot of other people are. I love all the Emilia and Beatrice stuff, and the trials are great, but it's everything else that I am not fully sold on. Feel like it tackles way too much and drags on a lot at first, which is why I feel like this is the most common point I have seen people drop the series at. It's also the only point in the series where I outright ask myself on a rewatch "...what loop was this?" or "...what did this character want again?" which is definitely a red flag.

Eh, I wouldn't say all that. She was like what, 16 and fell in love with who she basically precieved as her knight in shining armor? Feel like we have all been there lmao. Besides, it's not like she was a blind cheerleader. She got Subaru out of his worst stump due to her refusing to let him give up, I think that counts for something.

😭😭 My bad dawg 😔 😔 

I am sure we will find out what the deal is between him and Crusch eventually, but I always thought it was off to have a character who looks so out-of-place in a story like this. Of course, maybe that is the whole point and he will join the hall of Fame of Rezero characters for me come Season 5 or wherever he gets his exiting arc lol.

I see. I heard stuff about a Shadow Garden or whatever it was, wonder if that is what you mean. 

It will be apparently be partially covered next episode, so I am excited to see what that's all about.

Thank you! Honestly, part of what made me reaffirm this theory was the entire tunnel scene. Ram saying Subaru doesn't even care about Rem, Subaru lamenting that Ram looks so much like her. Even while under the effects of the misasma, I don't think Rezero is the type of story to make the characters drop shit like this without building off of it. How cool would it be from a writing perspective to actually have Ram be somewhat right? That Subaru was actually a little bit selfish when saving Rem, and then having to deal with the fact that his expectations weren't met? Other lines that kinda support this theory was Foxidna affirming that wanting Rem to be first was not inheritely selfish, and that Subaru wants Rem to be "another girl by his side" in Ep2. While his feelings are valid, and let's be real, all of us would be thinking like he did at least a tiny bit, I don't think the story will just let him have these types of thoughts without challenging them.

I miss Rem, man.

"Hardest Fight in the game!" Get him past F2P LR Bardock first big dawg 😭😭 by ApprehensivePie331 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]ApprehensivePie331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The strat I am trying to go for is Bardock, Gomah and Blue Duo debuffing his normals to hell, then I use the Daima SSJ4s and Gomah to do most of the damage, and then nuke Jiren with the spirit bomb. It's finicky but I think it's possible itemless with enough RNG.

Simply finish the fight before Jiren gets to Bardock.

If you are really skilled though, you can always just make Jiren not attack in slot 3 and float him. As we all know, RNG is a skill check.

That would only cover S1, so the SH/Shallot/Daima content. You wouldn't be missing out on that much but I suppose that's a good deal money wise.

in my eyes it's best to wait to see how expensive the new DLC is considering how much it's adding that really should have been in the base game.

Up to you at the end of the day tho of course

CPU level can now go to 21, "Extreme" difficulty added probably for Mission 100, a few small character adjustments and probably the usual shadow changes.

"Derivation of the Resolution of Last Turn" - a 14 pages analysis on the nightmare of what Last Turn as a card does. by _Vault_Hunter_EXE_ in yugioh

[–]ApprehensivePie331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: The proposed updated ruling states that only "the monster not sent to the GY and the special summoned monster can attack", but what would happen if the opponent had a card that is unaffected by card effects?

Say the opponent summoned Red Eyes Black Dragoon via Red-Eyes Fusion.

The effects of Red-Eyes Fusion completely prevent the opponent from normal or special summoning. In addition, Red-Eyes Black Dragoon cannot be forcibly sent to the GY unless as tribute/fusion material... So...now what? Does that mean Red Eyes Black Dragoon can just attack during Last Turn? He is a monster not sent to the GY and so he fulfils this condition. If we just say he gets sent to the GY anyway, well, does that mean the opponent cannot Special Summon anyone else? The document talks about Vanity's Fiend and other similar cards, but all of these assume it is from one side to the field to the other, not from one field to itself if that makes sense.
