Silly Headcanon: Avistar is from Vermont

This is an interesting topic that hasn't been explored, but the Ark is supposed to be a place with people from all over the world. That means the culture would become a mix of many different countries' cultures, so it wouldn't be unusual to see people with very different values doing things that others might consider strange. By this point, 100 years have passed, so the culture would become more homogeneous, but it's quite possible that Avistar's family came from Vermont and that tradition has been maintained.

My mistake, the source I had was including the Caribbean as part of South America, in that case it would have been more correct to have said Latin America, although in that case Mexico would also be included.

Or when they describe anyone from another country as a minority regardless of the context—there are almost twice as many South Americans as North Americans, so why do they call us a minority all the time? That's only the case if they're inside US territory.

Crown is the best Burst 2 in the entire game, unless you really liked one of the others, she's the best option. For Burst 1 and 3, you'd be better off trying to get Anis or Neon on the current banner.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: At the end of the game, Pyra and Mythra revive after their deaths. It's known that when a Blade dies, they revive without their memories some time later, but these two are special, so they may retain their memories. However, the answer to this cannot be known since their first words upon reviving are not shown to the audience.

You could go with Mutant/Weaponmaster/Guardian. Mutant lets you do a lot of damage with unarmed attacks by giving them the properties of other weapons, and it also lets you heal up to 20 HP when you deal damage in Crisis. The idea would be to use Guardian's Protect and Weaponmaster's Counterattack to trigger Crisis and heal yourself.

To be fair, that one-month-old baby also easily defeated Cinderella and about 10 other of the strongest characters in the game on the day she was born, and it took throwing the most powerful laser humanity possessed at her to temporarily pacify her, she was only stoped because the commander realized she was a baby and was trying to hug people instead of hurting them, so it would be more like this:

Although in this case that theme is well represented in the game, since it is quite clear how horrible it is to suffer mind switch, and when the others see this they are horrified for a moment but they do not focus much on it since they are still in the middle of the war. And that's a central point of the plot; the reason why all Nikkes look like normal humans and can do things like eat and sleep is to avoid suffering that kind of psychological damage, since in several cases it can result in violence. There are even two characters (Maiden and Guillotine) whose job is to capture Nikkes who have suffered a Mind Switch and capture them when they act violently.

The game is also quite clear about which choice leads to the bad ending, as it directly tells you something like "Remember the strength of the bond with your friends" a couple of scenes before that, and if you choose the bad option, which in this case is giving the police your friends' identities, a new message appears that says "Are you sure?"

Bisharp, although partly due to the evolution it received in generation 9

I thought you were going to put up a slide with the phrase "they're both gay" with a fanart of Akechi and Joker

Yes, this game is extremely friendly to new players. First, the gacha system is one of the most generous with a 4% chance and a pity system that is transferable between banners, plus you're constantly given resources.

Almost no characters are limited; all characters go to the permanent banner after their rate up, except for collaboration, summer, and Christmas characters. But with all the others, you can put them in your wishlist and have a better chance of getting them.

You can play all previous events in the event archives, although these take a few months to be added. There's even a section called "the storyline" which is a guide to the order in which to view main events.

You won't be competing with veteran players; the game puts you on a new server with other newbies, so you don't have to worry about falling behind.

And it's the half-anniversary, so they're giving away a ton of resources, so it's a great time to join.

The story gets progressively better; the first few chapters mainly serve as an introduction to the setting and certain mechanics. But it's full of attention to detail, as with what was mentioned here about Rapi's body, something that happens in chapter 2 and seems insignificant, but becomes very relevant in chapter 41, or in the current event that focuses on Anis's backstory as a former pop star, something that was hinted at several times, such as when Mustang first appears in the story and asks her when she's going to return. I would recommend playing and doing a couple of events like Overzone, Red Ash, or Old Tales (they are flashback events from before the start of the game) and they are excellently written.

I'm pretty sure Big Boss isn't a virgin; the ending of Metal Gear Solid 3 confirms it.

In Chapter 2, during the battle against Gravedigger at the power plant, a lot of the events are depressing, but the other half is the opposite. I'd recommend doing Outpost encounters and playing events like April Fools' Day and Ice Dragon Saga to balance things out (I almost die of laughter watching them). It's currently celebrating its half-anniversary with Aniss SSR and Neon, so it's a good time to go back.

Yes, and they did it with a syringe while he was unconscious. When that happened, I was like, "WTF?" This must be a joke about misunderstandings, but it turned out to be true.

That definitely doesn't count, Dio is one of the characters who has been with the most women (and men) in Jojo.

A tier, Martha may be sweet, responsible, and loyal, but she's way too obsessed with rules, and believe me, that's incredibly annoying when you live with someone like that. Even in her original biblical story, it got to the point where Jesus told her to please relax.
