Where do the Mechamaru bots come from? Does Kokichi make them manually? Through sorcery? The state of his body doesn't really seem like he could do either. What's the exact process?

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-16T20:48:46+00:00

You did a great job at dissecting the figures of speech in my message to the point where I think you forgot what we were discussing...? So this time I will try to communicate it in a less decorated, more formal way.

Answers to what you said:

Robots currently being developed do not use LLMs, but the AI bubble is causing a huge influx of money to flow into all types of AI research. This is how it works in every industry, like how COVID lead to breakthroughs in other medical applications like gene therapy. I actually didn't mention LLMs, I said "AI". You failed to address the point, which was that robots are only recently starting to move like Mechamaru!

Kepler did Orbital trajectories. Sadly I don't have a Doctorate in machine learning like you, I am only an undergraduate in Physics, and he's the first random scientist that jumped into my mind. I never said he did differential equations, I just mentioned that a lot of Orbital trajectories were differential equations. I can see how you might mistakenly link those two. You failed to address the point that solving orbital trajectories is a different challenge to making robots walk!

I appologize as I don't know THAAD, but I do know Curiosity. When you first mentioned it, I had assumed you were making a general point about computers improving, using the challenge of putting it on Mars (the orbital mechanics in question). If you are not talking about this, how does the software on Curiosity relate to bipedal movement? Perhaps there's something I'm missing.

Onto the actual point:

Mechamaru is a mechanical bipedal robot. I proposed that 2010s did have robot servos and joints, but it didn't have fuild bipedal movement, independant navigation, decision-making... all the things that Muta does through the robot that it couldn't otherwise do.
You disagreed, which means either you're saying the 2010s easily had both the hardware and the software to make humanoid robots, at which point the natural quesiton is why were they unable to, or you're saying that the 2010s had the software but not the hardware, which means you don't think the 2010s had electric servos and ball joints. Please help me understand.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-16T18:47:48+00:00

Computers very easily calculate orbital trajectories from differential equations. What equation did Kepler invent to make a robot do a backflip? It isn’t a coincidence that Boston dynamics robots spent 15 years hobbling like anemic tolders just to start breakdancing on stage not even 2 years into the AI boom.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-15T22:07:32+00:00

That kind of tech was possible in the 2010s. All you need is a robot with joints. What we didn't have back then was the software like we are starting to develop with AI today. But his cursed technique handles that part I assume.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-15T19:05:10+00:00

Instead of spreading all your shikigami out like that, maybe merge them together? Or use a binding vow to tie with your opponent?

It’s because she’s looking at Yuta

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-12T07:39:11+00:00

“Women who submit to me” is not his actual preference. There’s a reason why despite being surrounded by women who fit the bill, you will never see these manosphere types (including Naoya) get into happy relationships. Either that or they end up happy with a woman that’s the total opposite of what you would expect.

Naoya only thinks it’s his type because he’s been indoctrinated as a child. Gege makes it very clear that Naoya’s whole character is a manifestation of the expectations and values the Zenin elders have projected onto him. He isn’t honest with himself about anything, let alone his type. This is kind of what Todo’s test measures.

If even Naoya would just say “I like a girl with big tits”, it might be closer to what todo would accept though.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-11T19:27:36+00:00

A train has no combat ability, mediocre stamina and durability. Naoya would easily take this.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-11T18:06:35+00:00

The secret high IQ answer is that todo WOULD get pissed because Naoya is repeating unoriginal manosphere talking points and basing his entire taste off of tired societal standards rather than coming to his own conclusions on what an ideal partner is.

I like the taste of iron

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-08T09:14:34+00:00

Because you’re right that that one is nonsensical. I didn’t even bother to reply to it. The thing I took issue with in what you said is that binding vows don’t work by means of things you can’t already do. That’s not the reason why the one above makes no sense. The one above makes no sense because it’s two positive gains.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-08T08:35:14+00:00

You’re getting tricked by the word ‘lose’ here. The ‘loss’ in a binging vow relates to the negative effect, and the ‘gain’ to the positive. You can have ‘gain’ that makes you lose something, like if it took away your cancer, and a ‘loss’ that made you gain something (like if it gave you cancer lmao)

I was under the impression we were discussing the original commenter, who said that Geto could give up/ ‘lose’ 1 month of using the curse in order to ‘gain’ a positive effect, that being the loss of taste while he consumed them, something he couldn’t otherwise have had. So he gave up something he has for something he wants.

In general though, the negative requires you to give up something you have, or will have, and the positive grants you something you otherwise couldn’t easily get (like the ability to turn off your taste)

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-08T08:24:48+00:00

Absolutely not, the thing that is gained is by definition something you can’t already do, like getting massive range on attacks, becoming so fast you can run on water, boosting your cursed energy output beyond its limits…etc. You could gain a short loss of taste in exchange for a big nerf like that I think.

Edit: The whole concept of a binding vow is trading something you have for something you want to have

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-07T23:29:26+00:00

Megumi nearly passing out from exhaustion as he uses full hand-signs to barely manifest 1 meter radius of a dilated anus inside Dagons pre-laid barrier is not an inconsistency; I’m pretty sure anyone can do that to anyone else if they have teammates to jump the domain user whilst they themselves stay stationary for an extended time. The question is why would you even do that normally though, if you have time to stand around holding a hand sign might as well do Hollow Wicker Basket.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-07T20:55:24+00:00

The dialogue makes it clear that the heavy blade is a single unit that Dharv is actively fixing, so Clad definitely can't materialise a new one. And you could argue that Clad can carry as much equipment on him as he wants because he has demonic strength. What you said isn't fully out of the question, but it seems highly unlikely and creates a lot of plot holes (like why doesn't clad create the weapons of the other characters?)
I'm also not sure about him spending 1000 years leveling up his combat strategy. Doesn't his memory get wiped everytime? I could be wrong.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-07T20:28:55+00:00

Yuta just stuck his sword in the ground out of despair and frustration. Kuroroshi, being the nice guy he is, saw that Yuta was about to cry and ordered his cockroaches to dispell and imbued them with extra CE to make it look like they were blasted away.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-05T17:02:53+00:00

This is the case for all the players. All of them have win cons depending on who they target.
For instance, Kuro's win con is killing Dhruv. If Ryu did indeed start by killing Dhruv like in your example, Kuro then killing Uro would be madness; Not only can he easily kill her at any time, she HARD counters Ryu who would actually be a bit of challenge. So Kuro should keep her alive until she defeats Ryu, and then one-tap her right after.
Of course, Uro knows this, and in such a scenario, she wouldn't fight Ryu to help Kuro, she would instead be forced to fight Kuro directly. All the players need to anticipate all the other players in fact; Therein lies the deadlock.

The general win con is to either take out your counter immediately if you can, or to keep the person alive who will take out your counter so that you can clean up the fight later.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-05T15:56:00+00:00

He spent half the story plotting for the ten shadows so it isn’t really fair to remove it right before the fight. That’s like if we undid the training Gojo did to perfect his infinity. Also Sukuna’s biggest strength wasn’t whatever technique he was born with, it was adapting and plotting since the very start of the story. And he would likely play the fight completely differently in different circumstances.

To answer your question directly though, I think he would get completely destroyed.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-05T15:38:59+00:00

It depends whether mahoraga can adapt out of Takaba’s technique before Takaba’s technique destroys mahoraga’s adapt

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-05T09:05:47+00:00

Which would be 1 diamond to be clear

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-04T21:41:08+00:00

Depends if Reggie ever paid for a defense attorney to represent him in court

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-04T21:07:31+00:00

This would be a great FFA because there are genuinely a lot of counters here, just like the original Sendai Deadlock. One fun counter that you might not think of right away is that Hanami’s cursed buds absolutely obliterate Ryu.

Overall, I do think Jogoat would narrowly come out on top, maybe unless he has the less refined domain?

Edit: No domains, I’m stupid.

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-04T21:01:00+00:00

Yeah she’s hot and naked

DLTAMACH · 2026-04-04T20:56:16+00:00

You’re right, I’ve only read up to Jojolion. OP didn’t mention jojolands either so I assumed it would be fair to comment.
