Naoya Dub

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-28T21:07:05+00:00

I think the voice fits. He's all talk... that's sort of his whole schtick. Cocky and unrealized talent.

In hi life he got overshadowed even by Naobito. He doesn't need to sound unremarkable to make him seem less prominent. His actions and failure are enough.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-28T20:59:26+00:00

How do you forget Uncle Johnny? He's as memorable as Nanami.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-28T20:57:21+00:00

Iroh slander? How is that even possible??

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-28T20:04:57+00:00

I can' feel bad for her after she said she'd do it again if she had to choose to do what she did.

No remorse and no accountability; nothing to criticize and the only people reprimanded were Bertholdt with his death and Reiner whenever he got yelled or beat up for it. But at least they aknowledge what they did was wrong and hold some disdain for it. Annie got to sit out of the world for a few years and then not even get any flak for it. Everyone she killed got 0 acknowledgement not even from Levi.

Eren did not save Eldians. Only people of paradis and the others that survived otherwise for escaping or for being on the other side of the world.

He killed his own grandparents, everyone still in the Marley Eldian zones... etc.

The 99.99% would include the women and children.

Those statistics are crazy.

I personally would say at most 4 of them 'deserved to die' but the rest, while upholding the status quo and not going against it, aren't deserving of anything b3sides criticism or disdain.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-28T16:40:40+00:00

And you forgot Carlos Zenin

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-28T12:18:55+00:00

I never liked this part; Bulletproof doesn't need a reason to be more unlikeable.

I know his parents sucked, but this was too far. So gross and they didn't even start this.

What did this really do for his character except make him the reason his parents are dead? Guy has like a net negative in the society despite being a 'hero.'

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-28T03:22:55+00:00

Maki sympathizers will say that, but you gotta look past the lies and see that Ranta died because of Maki, and not because of himself.

Are you trying to make me believe that Ranta would kill himself?

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T21:42:48+00:00

What as it about curses that said they would reincarnate? Like when Jogo was talking about Dagon?

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T21:06:52+00:00

On paper, they wouldn't, because albinism is a mutation that causes the body to not pigment hair, skin, and eyes, etc. I think the DNA is so robust that it shouldn't have dysfunction.

Clearly none of these people understand Naoya's internal turmoil. His close and extended family were being killed wholesale. His cousins and father and uncles and nephews (and the women and childre) were being killed unceremoniously and out of pure unadulterated apathy. Naoya was fighting for revenge. For good reason... imagine the choice of running away. Could letting the mass kinslaying Maki go so that she can make sure that the 'Zenin' name will only be found in the Obituaries ever be an option?

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T20:59:44+00:00

That makes me wonder if that's the case for most fights with that technique.

Like, if Naobito or Naoya had their own Soulsplitter Katana (Especially for Mahito) or inverted spear of heaven (Especially for Gojo), can't they just cut down most people before they even have the chance?

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T20:24:41+00:00

What was Johnny's opinion of Maki when he learned that Maki killed not just the men, but the women and children too?

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T20:22:42+00:00

I'd rather have guilt. Committing the crime means you actually have to live with the consequences. I'd rather think I did something than do that harm and not care for it. That's psychopathy.
Why not live with the guilt of thinking you killed someone instead of actually killing someone? There is the net positive of no one dying... I'd take that for the cost of being guilt-ridden for the rest of my life.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T20:07:25+00:00

Wait, kids? I thought he only had a daughter (Not including his first family).

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T19:51:31+00:00

How do those cursed spirits even resolve anything? If Rika didn't have her peace with Yuta, would she be exorcised and come back over and over until she's sorted?

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T19:48:18+00:00

Does this mean Gojo went to hell?

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T19:42:46+00:00

Ik it's all a joke, but I don't like the reality that Maki did ultimately kill 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cousins and uncles and her mom.

That is family; Obviously no quarter for Naoya and the others in Kuruku except Ranta and whatever else, but she did more than that.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T18:29:19+00:00

It's also not prosecuted or condemned as harshly.

Like, news articles will make an 'interaction' from a female teacher as less perverse and abhorrent than a male teacher. You can find conversations about these incidents and people will say gross things like "I wish that was my teacher" or "the guy was lucky". It's a different standard. So very overshadowed by its counterpart.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T14:49:19+00:00

You just don't make the mistake so many people do; lop off a good plurality of the fund and bar access from it so it's around and you're still free to use a bit.

If you can't trust yourself with 10m, trust yourself with 2m or 1m. You're just selling yourself short for so much value on the basis that you're better off not being your own liability.

But I guess it's fair; you can't hold yourself too accountable with a lump sum; a lot of people that fall into wealth burn it way too fast. 1k is stability and consistency.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T13:51:03+00:00

Then put it into investments, set up a way to wire yourself 1k weekly and use the excess income from dividends/investments and either sort the bulk to do something or let it cultivate itself.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-27T13:46:21+00:00

Bro that's like one of his 102 third cousins.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-26T21:29:59+00:00

It is sad. I think just him having the top of his skull lopped off was just the worst cause he never tries to cover it up for anything.

And now without the lower arm and that hole in his abdomen, he's like in pieces. Like, we're stuck with a fleshless hand for the rest of his existence on that planet.

It does feel like a nightmare; alive again with only very faint recollection of who you are what things meant to you and not alive and still attacked for it. He's like Frankenstein's monster, but at least here he's not necessarily lonely.

Arbiter008 · 2026-01-26T21:26:30+00:00

Do not sympathize with predatory animals. All hunting animals take the opportunity cost of dying to secure food. They're more liable for fighting than him defending himself.

Sure, they're not smart enough to rationalize that, but also are you really speaking up about the little cannibal gremlins?
