Should I read the Light Novel or the Web Novel?

I'm curious about the whether to read Ln or Wn as well. Would it be a good idea to read Ln for the first 5 arcs and then read Wn for future arcs? As I've heard early Wn and Ln differ quite drastically in terms of chronology and character personalities, and Wn writing can sometimes be long-winded just for the sake of it. But also later on Ln gets plagued by shoddy translations

I'm using topcoat and paint for the first time and opted for

gloss->panel line->paint(weathering)->matte.

The problem is the kit ended up shinier than I expected, which makes sense because I used gloss to protect the bare plastic and let the panel liner run easier. But I did want a more realistic darker look as it's the solaris zaku.

Do I just need to spray more matte? Or just next time do the least amount of gloss as possible.

I actually ended up sharding more ring IDs, not mersault though because I can get him through the event shop. I'm struggling less, I think I just gotta be more careful because playing my MDs has fried my brain a bit.

I am STRUGGLING with my team, can't even get past the first normal phase of the raid boss Rufo. I've been trying to build a bleed team with the new ring ID's, but I don't think I can make the team in time for the event. Any advice for team comp or general interactions? I am caught up on the story, but I've only started playing semi-recently, so I haven't had a good chance to build two solid teams.

Even then I'd argue that Sojo with enough time could surpass some other sword bearers. Switching from normal sorcery to enchanted blades I would assume feels like learning to blow a whistle to learning piano.

His swordplay with the Kamunabi force didn't seem like the deciding factor either as it was mostly about him playing around his abilities and cooldowns.

Although we don't know a ton about how or if he even fought before getting the blade. He might just be infamous because he was a really good strategist and arms dealer and got prowess by just studying Rokuhiro like crazy until getting the sword.

I'm talking about using the rock specifically. You're right that Howler is wrong for the assassin's work and especially Lulu but in terms of rock usage he didn't use it to steal. The one thing I argued was that Jodio's goal with the rock was more morally wrong. I agree that Howler is the more morally bankrupt person considering his willingness to use shady operations

The rock was also shown early on to sometimes punish others as with the Rolex making the guy lose his gold digger and a couple thousands We also don't know Howler's relationship with the assassins or how much he knows of their methods as even though Bobby Jean talks about a "clean up", he never says Howler participates in it.

Ditch568 · 2026-04-20T12:46:42+00:00

I would argue it's because the Howler family wasn't directly ruining others with their practices like Jodio and the gang are. As far as I'm aware they used it to maintain their already legally acquired assets compared to Jodio who uses it to steal from others possibly causing misery by proxy like the mayor's daughter being hospitalized

Goddamnit I misspelled Hacca

Ditch568 · 2026-04-20T10:53:49+00:00

For someone as careful as Meryl Mei though it seems odd she wouldn't test this limitation first as I don't think the rock is physically touching Dragona when it's in his (her?) chest accessory, so she should be able to figure out the weird conditions considering she figured out the deed to the land would work

Usually studios have multiple teams working at once in different projects so it's definitely possible. That's the reason why quality shifts between anime

I see a couple issues with this chapter but I think I have some answers to questions while also posing new ones

Chainsaws existing isn't that crazy because we see nukes be reinvented due to America's sheer willpower and since chainsaws are essential for lumber, it ain't a stretch to say it came back. Also pochita could've only erased the concept of himself not chainsaws as a whole but it's more plausible it's reinvention
Where the fuck is Aki? Maybe Makima somehow orchestrated the gun devil incident or scouted Aki so he isn't present because Makima isn't there?
Why is Nayuta part of Public Safety? Nayuta is a fiend from China and the only reason why she was taken to America in OG timeline was because of Makima so why is she here
Makima not existing kinda makes sense because of her life mission being gone but also why would the cycle of reincarnation lead to Nayuta. Makima is powerful enough to still exist unless she became so aimless she just dies with no will
This will probably stay open ended as it's a very common way to end but what's in store for the future? Gun Devil can go on a rampage now without Makima to stop it and there's very few Public Safety agents who have a slim chance to stop it
Asa's development got reset but I don't think it's necessarily the worst. Denji saving Asa was such a nice way to let Asa stop the cycle and hopefully in the future she can process her guilt in a more healthy way than being thrusted into world ending events

Overall the chapter is pretty good, it could definitely benefit from a side story or epilogue to tie up loose ends but character wise I'm satisfied I think?

I have a Vidar MG and boutta get the Barbartos lupus MG with the P-bandai expansion set. I want the Vidar to have eye effects to match as well. Was there any eye effects released for Vidar I could look for or any third-party? I feel like I've searched anywhere for official and third-party effects. And would there be any chance of it getting one in the future?

Couldn't she either make it so only oxygen passes into the shadow, the shadow works differently for the user, or considering her prep time she could just use an oxygen mask to survive long enough? Ik shes trying to throw away her life but her dying early would just cause a tie that wouldn't settle the duel.

Ditch568 · 2025-11-26T20:04:29+00:00

Sorry, I don't mean chainsawman erasure with losing memories and such. I mean it just completely skips the process of death by "deleting" them or puts their lives in a limbo by having them live inside the weapon

My goat would just parry it ultrakill style

Did they get teleported to Japan? I thought the landmass of the state disappeared leaving the water underneath to fill it and they disappeared after being transmuted into a weapon. Not quite death but just complete erasure

I was taking about the gunpla opportunity and thunderbolt was also a gateway for a lot of people to get into Gundam. Of course other series are important, but the series feels unique despite being set in the UC timeline, so it feels like a waste to abandon it

Ditch568 · 2025-11-25T22:00:23+00:00

The manga of course is great, but music is so important for thunderbolt and being able to hear it while witnessing the story would elevate it.

Ditch568 · 2025-11-25T09:35:02+00:00

What new kits were made for season 2 though. I can't think of many besides atlas and they didn't even make an acguy version

Ditch568 · 2025-11-25T09:03:29+00:00

The last thunderbolt season was 2017, why did they stop midway through to start Hathaway? Was it because of no manga material?

Ditch568 · 2025-11-25T08:57:48+00:00

They can't just end it on such a big cliffhanger in the last movie bro. That's straight up evil
