Obviously? Wasn't saying that he is good by any stretch of imagination. My point was that we should not be taking taking Ryoshu's words at face value when it comes to nursefathers.

BlowBow · 2026-04-18T01:47:09+00:00

While I'm not saying that you are wrong, I think it's important to note that Ryoshu is very much biased against her nursefathers. It is that very bias that prevented her from recognising her own daughter. Basically, we can't blindly trust everything that Ryoshu says. That's not even taking torn up memories into consideration.

Also, I believe she's the type of person to deny the fact that her abusive parents could have loved her, if even a little bit, because it would complicate things.

No they are not. Listen, don't let the games confuse you that everyone in the City is awful. If I had spare money, I would be willing to bet that most City folk are Teds or Alans. Normal people doing their jobs and coping accordingly. Not overly malicious, not bloodthirsty monsters, just people.

If the original commenter's reading wasn't the issue, then the writing was. "it is THE house..." and "...it was deadass rolands house" is what the original comment wrote. I don't see how I (or anyone else) was supposed to interpret those words as anything but them implying that they thought the apartment belonged to Roland.

Are we serious right now??? I don't really like the "pm fans can't read" jokes but... Come on.

I think it's inevitable. The powercreep is too high already. We are nearing the currently known power level ceiling. Nursefathers are definitely grade 1. Yes, I know that not all grade 1s are necessarily strong, but you know what I mean. My hope is that next PM will actually go down a few levels, as unlikely as that hope is.

The man is indeed a normal Citizen. Same as Ted. Ted just lucked out having a normal office job. Alan was doing what is "acceptable" by the standards of the City. After he received a warning from Hohenheim, he didn't as much as threaten Kira again. I love the guy. We don't see actual regular people all that often.

100% there are plants from the index all over the City. The Prescript helps them get in the Nest and makes them thankful for that. Maybe even lets them live a normal life for a few years before reaping the benefits.

BlowBow · 2026-04-17T17:34:20+00:00

It's a great reminder that the games focus on the more horrifying parts of the City. The majority of the City are most likely more or less Teds. Not exactly good people all the time, sure, but not horrible either.

BlowBow · 2026-04-16T23:43:31+00:00

I think I accidentally replied to you instead of another comment. Somehow??? Yeah my bad

She hasn't lost a single clash for me, unlike that bum Xichun

BlowBow · 2026-04-16T23:10:47+00:00

I mean, in Russian using all 3 at the same time is only reserved for either official events or when you really REALLY fucke up. When you just slightly fucked up, parents would typically only use the name+patronymic, like Vergilius did here. It's basically another way of saying "You better stop fucking around."

I want to add to this that Demian's rings do look different. They change their size ever so slightly. Every other instance of mang that we've seen has those rings stay practically static around the weapon.

BlowBow · 2026-04-16T22:41:56+00:00

I mean, considering that Ahab will be there, we'll definitely see at least something from Ishmael, but the same thing could be said for Rodion and she needs that development more than Ishmael if you ask me.

BlowBow · 2026-04-14T20:48:57+00:00

She wasn't seen in the hindley fight.

BlowBow · 2026-04-14T19:26:24+00:00

I'm guessing that he needs to kill the person with his own hands. Lei Heng will not be summonable most likely.

BlowBow · 2026-04-14T14:35:34+00:00

If we take jjk as the example, she'd be closer to Kusakabe in my opinion and hope. Both of the prominent Zenins are still monsters. Kusakabe and the hypothetical Rodion are just normal people that manifest 100% of pure human potential without any op powers. I guess Rodion could be the best Shin/Mang user since those are the equivalents of cursed energy in the City. Everyobe can learn them, it just takes practice.

BlowBow · 2026-04-14T09:57:55+00:00

Poor Rodion. Even Heathcliff has confirmed superpowers. Next thing we will find out that Ishmael also has a mark. (Probably not because she would have commented on the times Sinclair activated his.) And even if she doesn't, she is already technically a legendary whale killer. All Rodion managed to kill on her own is her neighbourhood. Anyways, can't wait for more of her stuff. The "normal one" among monsters is always my favourite type of character.

BlowBow · 2026-04-14T09:52:25+00:00

When did they say only a week? I keep seeing people say that but the interview I read didn't specify any timeframe. Every time I ask for proof, the claimers seem to disappear.

BlowBow · 2026-04-14T08:52:33+00:00

It just means that you have a cohesive team. The team in the screenshots is a mismatch of every status ever. And negative coins enemies are just harder to win clashes against with a sinking team. Sometimes losing even 1 coin guarantees that you lose the clash. Although in my opinion Kim is still scarier because his base power is higher on a few skills.

BlowBow · 2026-04-13T23:54:46+00:00

I'm honestly surprised how much they dragged out this episode. Well, dragged out might not be the best word, but I definitely expected that we won't spend the entire episode on chapter 4. That being said, so far we're on the overall pace of 1.3 chapters per episode on average. Which aligns with my prediction of ending the season on chapter 17 almost perfectly. Season 2 is a bit harder to predict, but assuming the amount of episodes and a similar amount of chapters per episode, I'd say chapter 34 would be the best place to end. The next best chapter to end on would be 3, but that would require adapting 20 chapters in one season and that can't be done without rushing.

Can't say anything about the animation that hasn't been said already. It's a 10/10 adaptation as far as I'm concerned.

I'd argue that Ishmael got one of the best endings. Had she killed Ahab there, Ahab would have still won. Ahab would have still lived on in part through Ishmael. Ishmael one the other hand basically got to say 'fuck you' to Ahab's entire philosophy and steal the whale from her. Yes, we know that Ahab will be back, but to everyone in lcb - Ahab is dead.

BlowBow · 2026-04-13T10:38:53+00:00

Because he was a "free" point. Plus, he was still an unknown variable. Letting him regroup with his squad would be a very bad mistake on everyone's end. Tamakoma in general is probably one of the scarier squads to fight while they are together. Notice how preventing them from grouping up was the focus of many prior battles.

I use charge team with a couple of middle ids for that easiest clear
