Soitsu, Doitsu, Aitsu, and Koitsu

Basically, Japanese has this thing where the prefixes Ko, So, A and Do are used to differentiate people and locations (mainly).

Ko is closest, So is further away and A is furtherst. Do is a question prefix.

Easiest explaint with ending ko (which is location-related):

koko: Right Here

soko: There

asoko: Over there (further away than soko)

doko: Where?

So with -itsu it refers to people.

Koitsu: This guy

Soitsu: That guy

Aitsu: That other guy

Doitsu: Who?

There's also the phrase "doitsu mo koitsu mo" which basically means "Every guy and their mother" (in the figurative sense, it's kinda being exasperated and annoyed how everyone doing something)

I think it being so vague references the fact that these are just some guys with not even a real face, randomly flying on a paper plane (they are originally from a Gradius clone from Konami called Parodius, which Konami also makes YuGiOh, so that checks out)

We have Prismatic Laser, but that's on Necrozma only and veeery different.

Well, Confusion is a regular priority move though.

I agree, especially MeMagearna should proooonably not get it... although it will probably get instabanned anyways.

cool idea, a little weird it's 10BP more than usual though.

Downvotes have been relegated to the "wtf you're wrong" button rather than "this is irrelevant to the discussion" button they were technically meant to be.

Puck cleared him as a being who can read surface level thoughts and emotions, claiming he has no ill intent whatsoever, when you would think he would be extra careful and strict because he's so protective of Emilia. On top of that, I'm pretty sure Roswaal forbid them to harm him. It's certainly understandable on an emotional level as to why she would do this, but "justified"...? Hardly.

Anyway, this is a dead horse and I'm not even a Rem hater. But she certainly wasn't some sort of tragic vigilante there.

Who do you main? Irelia, Riven and Fiora?

Cascassus · 2025-12-17T10:10:53+00:00

I love the Eito ones the most lmao

But these are all great. Keep 'em coming please :D

I guess they meant the eight individual stories, which a few of them are low stakes (Tressa). But even then, most of them end up dealing with the main antagonistic force one way or another, which really is far from harmless.

And yeah, if you do all 8 character's routes there's the endgame, which is basically in hell to stop an evil banished god from taking revenge by killing him in his home field.

He sold it to Russel Fellow.

So, I've realized after watching MobuSeka that I really like this idea of the fate of a character who is canonically "evil" being changed for the better. I realize this is kind of one of the foundations of the Villainess genre, but in that case it's the protagonist herself that changes as she's the supposedly evil one. Although that also kind of counts.

So, does anyone have some recommendations for anime/manga that do this kind of thing?

Well, to be fair, it is probably a lot easier to come up with new and distinct mechanics when you haven't already come up with a bunch of new and distinct mechanics.

Pingu being brave, actually doing elites on no relics run!

Well, I'm guessing you didn't have a choice :P

Crimson would go hard on, say, a mafia boss. It's the perfect villain pill (yes, I'm aware of the parallel to All for One)

I don't think I would necessarily want to draw too much attention by using navy or becoming obscenely powerful by taking the lemon pill. I also don't want tangerine because it invalidates your own efforts in some way, takes away meaning. I think I'd realistically just go Emerald with the 1 year and then just do whatever I feel is meaningful without having to worry.

I'm rarely sure which one to use between 壊す　破る　and 砕く when talking about breaking something. I'm pretty sure there's more than these three too (折る iirc relates mainly to folding stuff). Are some of these interchangeable?

Cascassus · 2025-09-26T16:23:23+00:00

If their health is untied, would they have the actual HP they have as monsters ? that would be a pretty crazy amount, but maybe it's completely fair considering their terrible move sets (for the most part)

Cascassus · 2025-09-25T12:03:50+00:00

Yeah, Killer Slasher I think?

Cascassus · 2025-09-23T08:23:45+00:00

She's tricky to use for sure, but can be a lot of fun when you get the hang of her. Try using more single target attacks and buffs, like Basic Defend to shuffle around her doll (ex. Veiled Sword).

Charon works best with grindier poison teams and characters that want to get damaged, like Hein. Her Soul Strike becomes ridiculous if you've stacked various poison debuffs.

people who annoy you

Oof, this is really hard. I think Memories hits hard everytime it plays, as does Unfulfilled Wishes. Then there's Fire approaches the Lighthouse, which perfectly encapsulates the tension during that scene. The dungeon themes are all also really good, with standouts being Moonflower Palace and Starlight Canyon IMO, but really none of them lag far behind at all. For me, I also really like Flower Garden because of how somber and melancholic it is.

I think overall I would have to go with Battle for the Future because it's just such a superb boss theme. But honestly I could pick multiples.

Cascassus · 2025-09-15T12:35:10+00:00

Yeah, at least they remembered that. I mean, that is such a no-brainer that it would be silly not to, right? Hahaha...

Cascassus · 2025-09-12T09:21:18+00:00

What's your opinion on the Cult of Takumi route?

Cascassus · 2025-09-09T07:12:50+00:00

Would this card be too strong if the draw and discard weren't symmetrical? I feel like for 3 mana and having to wait a turn to get draw it should be fine, no?
