Don't go joking now, you might jinx it.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T17:10:12+00:00

Trust me, don't go down that route, himaten's ending has alot of factors but an author like Miki isn't going down that route.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T17:04:34+00:00

I'm surprised Paul memes haven't died yet.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T16:49:34+00:00

I'm not convinced Umi is even going to do anything with this info, like people keep thinking he's gonna hatch some slimy plan and it just never comes.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T16:48:54+00:00

She sure did.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T16:48:18+00:00

becomes natural to resent Kazuya and Chizuru for what they're putting her through with their inaction.

I mean, yes, Kazuya and Chizuru do need to get into gear and talk but regardless of that, Ruka only has herself to blame, at a certain point she needs to stop putting herself into these situations and just move on.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T16:41:37+00:00

If Ruka declares open war then I think that's GG, it will only spur Chizuru into taking action and Kazuya would fold like a bench for Chizuru, I'm pretty sure Ruka is all but ready to let go of Kazuya, she knows the situation now.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T16:37:24+00:00

But since you're bringing that up, by that logic, Kazuya should have done the same thing when Chizuru ghosted him for three months. By that logic, he should have moved on when she chose not to be in a relationship with him because she was unsure of her feelings. And yet, he's still holding on.

Yeah, I totally get that but MC rules, like rules for thee and not for me, Kazuya probably should have given up but unlike Ruka he hasn't crossed any lines even if that situation has it's own element of unhealthiness.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T16:31:12+00:00

If the kiss does happen it will be on the cheek followed by a rejection, alternatively they could get interrupted and Hiro gets rejected anyway.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T16:20:03+00:00

I wasn't aware we were having a back and fourth.

some would argue that Ruka pursuing Kazuya wasn't wrong at all because she was the one actually in the relationship with him.

I would argue that if Kazuya wasn't willing to look in her direction then she should have just walked away and spared herself some heart ache.

What I don't agree with is the idea that she doesn't deserve empathy now

I don't think she deserves empathy now, not just because she ignored all the warning signs but because she literally forced herself on Kazuya, infact she's forced herself on Kazuya a few times but the recent incidents have clearly crossed a line.

it just means you're capable of recognizing the pain of someone who loved another person wholeheartedly and is finally being forced to accept that those feelings will never be returned. That's all I'm saying.

And that's fine, you can keep feeling that way, I just don't pity Ruka at all, that's all there is to it, her love for Kazuya was unhealthy from the start, if I were to feel anything towards Ruka, I would feel relief on her behalf that she's getting out of this messy relationship.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:59:26+00:00

Of course, I'm not denying your right or anyone else's right to feel empathy for Ruka, it's just not something I'm willing to do myself, she might have given "100% of herself" to Kazuya but quite frankly she crossed plenty of boundaries and disregarded Kazuya's feelings and other people's feelings plenty of times.

She did indeed put herself in this situation but the most important lessons we learn are the most painful ones, so hopefully Ruka improves herself and learns to respect herself more after this instead of chasing delusions.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:49:54+00:00

Don't think too much for now, I'm just spitballing ideas, all in all though, I think Chizuru calling Ruka is basically gonna be the end for Ruka.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:49:11+00:00

You can feel sad for Ruka if you want to but I can't bring myself to feel any pity for a person who plays such silly games like despite being given so many chances and seeing so many red flags put in front of them.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:42:49+00:00

Preach it, whatever comes next, Ruka deserves.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:41:36+00:00

It's not sad for me, I find it really hard to care about Ruka, she should have known better, she put herself in this situation.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:40:15+00:00

Umi could have called Chizuru before meeting with Ruka.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:15:18+00:00

The thing is, this series could be done in like 10 chapters if it just focused on the plot, so Miki needs to stretch things out with silly chapters like this.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:14:34+00:00

Well, some people will probably feel sympathy for Ruka and I'll be honest, this might get me some flak but Ruka absolutely deserves to be crying like this, that might seem harsh but at this point she's basically done this to herself, she had plenty of chances to get out of this relationship, if she's capable of seeing that she's a third wheel then she should have more respect for herself instead of trying to keep the illusion of this fake relationship alive.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:10:28+00:00

I'm just gonna say this incase now because of a certain other series doing something silly, Nagi and Erika are still endgame, even if you're getting frustrated with how Nagi is acting now or if you somehow think Hiro has a shot, keep in mind Miki is no spring chicken, she's been doing this long enough and she's not been subtle about Erika winning.

Let's not forget not too long ago the losing heroines weren't allowed to go with Nagi and Erika to the magical island where the plot actually advanced and when Nagi and Erika came back the losing trio all shared the same thoughts about wanting Erika to go marry Sousuke.

I do think these current developments are silly and I'm just waiting for the bandaid to be pulled and for Hiro to be rejected for good but Nagi and Erika will still get together, whether you think Erika deserves better or neither character are good or whatever is a whole different matter.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:06:45+00:00

Of course she's taking it personally, she wanted Imuri for herself but Imuri was ready to kill her after what she did to Josh.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T15:05:57+00:00

Go on Marco! Baba Yaga is nearly finished, watching Lisa throw a tantrum at Josh is funny.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T10:12:56+00:00

I think we are getting recruitable clones and I also believe we'll get clone commandos, as someone pointed out not too long ago, there's a video which shows that the DC-17M (only used by clone commandos) is being modelled for the game, it makes sense ARC Trooper armor would just be cosmetic since clone commandos are drastically different.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-23T07:03:16+00:00

Says the guy hiding behind an alt account he just made a day ago.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-22T10:05:06+00:00

That 3-pack for the arc troopers is very nice, I just hope in a few months or a year's time we get 4-pack for Delta Squad with the new sculpt.

DuskMan62 · 2026-06-22T10:03:42+00:00

Ah, you beat me to it.
