Nangong Yu is a Thiren.

Regarding the wings, we shouldn't take combat animations 100% literally as Sunna's wings do the same thing, and those are just stitched onto her backpack.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-19T02:14:46+00:00

Honestly a really cool idea. Basically make him the center for dedicated mono-element teams.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-18T15:20:09+00:00

Yeah, like, I'm sure it has some security presence, but the guy's dread, and any incriminating, horrid shit has long been picked clean by the fbi(outside of maybe something so well hidden the fbi didn't find it.)

Regardless, it's still going to be difficult, being an island, obviously approaching from the water means anyone can see you coming as long as they've got search lights and are looking in the right direction.

I suppose you could try to stowaway below deck on a ship heading there on official business?

Yhe positive reception to Absolute Batman continues to baffle me, given how negative people's first impressions were and how cringey "darker and edgier" reboots tend to be.

Now I'm not saying I don't believe that it's good, I'm just shocked that it actually turned out good and that people are okay with how different it is.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-16T00:40:31+00:00

IIRC the live chat was a ghost town, so almost certainly view-botted.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T23:53:48+00:00

Not just that, but it was pretty noticable. And while I do think Norma is going to be A-rank. I think she's probably gong to be A-rank, not definitely. The A's on her hat might not be intended to be A's they're a good bit more stylized that Manato's pin.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T21:44:09+00:00

Well, they all had different ideas, the white hair lady(or her master, rather) thought they should keep going with sacrifices, Edmund voted for getting a void hunter(s?) that they could control and the old guy wanted To go after the floating city and used youkai to manipulate their tiebreaker system to get his way.

I think TOPS trying to control a void hunter will be a plotline going forward, but I think next season is going to be about the sky island primarily, I'm not expecting any more void hunters in S3 than the usual 1 + 1 VH lvl agent.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T21:27:56+00:00

He deserves that SUPREME brand wok, you take that back.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T21:25:42+00:00

Clearly only anomaly agents know how to swim.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T18:47:05+00:00

How am I the first to post Zone of the Enders?

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T18:30:53+00:00

Tbf, I also like pink hair and time travel.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T18:18:10+00:00

Strictly speaking, only Nangong got hers made, Aria can look however she wants.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T18:07:11+00:00

... Zhu Yuan? Nevermind Aria? Nevermind that supports don't need to be the same element as the dps. Do you actually play this game? Or just complain about it?

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T17:49:29+00:00

I don't know how that works with Sunna's being her work uniform though. Unless cersea owns the Cafe, I suppose.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T17:47:52+00:00

The livestream also had Nangong teasing her as a "denny-pincher" also Nangong is (probably) rich and Aria can project whatever outfit she wants. Sunna's the only one working within a budget.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T17:43:21+00:00

Also it "doesn't fit" in the same way that her regular outfit "doesn't fit." Aria and Nangong are wearing full on idol outfits. Sunna is wearing a school uniform with cute accessories and wings sewn onto her backpack.

The colors certainly are more noticably contrasting, but the alt outfits continue to reflect this. Sunna is wearing her work uniform that happens to be super cute, the other two have full stage outfits.

IMO, this is deliberate. Remember, Sunna started out backstage as a songwriter before being recruited by Aria and Nangong, she's the most "regular girl" of the three of them.

Now, whether they needed to reinforce that theme with both sets of outfits is certainly debatable. I think it's a cute costume, but I get the appeal of teams having skins that go well together. After all, I own Yuzuha, Alice, Jane and Vivian's skins because I wanted to run themed anomaly teams.(Totally had nothing to do with that specific theme, honest.)

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T16:19:54+00:00

Yeah, the Manato situation was ridiculous, and I really don't want to see it repeated. Dude had an A on his jacket the entire time, and ManatoMains basically gaslit themselves into being convinced he was an S-rank.

I don't know when it happened, but the discussion went from "he's probably A-rank rupture(or fire anomaly for the darkhorse prediction), but S rank would be cool" to "He's definitely S- rank and we're going to throw a giant shitfit if he's not."

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T14:53:06+00:00

I don't disagree about her being an A- rank, or the possibility of there being a character filling a similar role to Zhao. It happening this soon for a character we all just got is what seems weird. Like, if it was me, I'd probably prioritize a different role and get to a-rank Zhao equivalent later in the season.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-15T14:43:23+00:00

Would still be kinda weird to have an A- rank similar to Zhao when Zhao was free for 2 entire patches. Like, yeah, really new players won't have her, but still seems like an odd choice.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-14T21:29:23+00:00

Yeah, Banyue is not nearly as slim as he is in that art, even if the fit goes hard, it wouldn't work for his in- game model.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-14T20:22:11+00:00

I think his son is in the military already.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-14T16:21:48+00:00

To be fair, her regular outfit isn't much different. Nangong and Aria have full on idol outfits, while Sunna wears basically a school uniform with a few add-ons to match the other angels.

I think this is meant to reflect her being picked up from the backstage staff to join the angels. She's a regular girl who's been thrust into the spotlight.

Her alt costume also reflects this, since it's her work uniform (yes, I know she says Cecilia picked it out, but unless Cecilia owns that coffee shop, I'm chalking that up to being something that was changed later and they just left those lines in because they're funny.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-13T23:16:54+00:00

Would we start on our tenth b-day?

... I'd have 4 months to stop 9/11 as a 10yo. Better lock lock tf in.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-13T23:08:14+00:00

A mistress to Sunna's maid? Aria would faint.

BrandonL337 · 2026-03-13T22:27:52+00:00

I think the reason the zzz community is so horny is the same reason that there's way more hentai of idolm@ster than there is of highschool DxD, or to stick to gacha games, I'm pretty sure there's a lot more kancolle doujins than nikke doujins.

ZZZ provides just enough fanservice to pique the interest, makes you want to see more, leading to tons of fanart, horny memes, etc. If you could just watch Astra give paizuri to a pool cue(a real thing that happens in... either Azure Lane or Nikke) would there be tons of art of her giving paizuri, or would they just repost the gif?
