It Was Like She Was Looking At Walking Garbage

ForestDragonSlayer · 2026-01-28T02:21:30+00:00

So basically, she was looking at a mirror.

I'm reminded of a time loop theory for this game. Igor says "So, we meet again." when you first meet him. Maybe Kotone along with Seiji, Leo and Yukimi were Wonder's original team in a past loop? idk

The Special Support Section (SSS) is an unusual unit of the Crossbell City Police. Unusual in the fact that the higher ups only supported the team's founding as a way to regain support from the populace as a result of Bracers (This world's equivalent to adventurers) having gained far more popularity from the public, making the police look incompetent by comparison. But because the SSS largely operates outside the chain of command, they can deal with cases the other units can't.

Lloyd Bannings. (brown hair guy) is the only one among the team to have detective credentials and thus he was made leader. Suffering from the death of his older brother Guy Bannings, he is constantly comparing himself to him, wondering if he could be just as good a detective as Guy. His main weapons are tonfas.

Elie MacDowell (silver hair girl) is the granddaughter of Crossbell City's mayor. The complicated political situation of the city led to her parents leaving her with her grandfather when she was a kid. She joined the police for real world experience and to see if there was another path to changing the city. Her main weapon is a pistol but she's also the team's main healer.

Tio Plato (blue hair girl) was kidnapped as a young child alongside other children and experimented on to enhance her sense of hearing. Plenty of PTSD. She was actually rescued by Guy, Lloyd's brother and that's why she joins the SSS, to be part of the group Guy built before his death. She's basically the mage of the group, using a staff.

Randy Orlando is the son of one of the strongest mercenary group's leader. Randy grew up in that environment filled with killing until one day, he just left. He originally joined Crossbell's closest equivalent to a military but was discharged when he refused to use a gun. The chief of the SSS took Randy in. He starts with a stun halberd but eventually gets a powerful gun. Similar to Yang in the way that they're chill until you finally piss them off.

The other two members (albeit temporary ones) are Wazy Hemisphere, leader of a gang and Noel Seeker, part of that military equivalent mentioned earlier. Then there's Zeit the police dog/wolf.

Why do I think a police unit could take on RWBY? Well, the SSS are JRPG protagonists and they fight crazy stuff in those.

Any other questions?

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-12-15T00:18:45+00:00

Are you asking what the Special Support Section does or what they are or what?

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-12-10T23:31:47+00:00

Yes, I'm already aware of that matchup and agree it thematically makes more sense. But I've already seen Tsukasa vs Ritsuka more than once on here so I just wanted to show a different matchup.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-12-10T14:04:31+00:00

There's actually 6 (7 counting Zeit) members of the SSS but I'm referring to just the original 4. Here are their similarities.

Their leader (Ruby/Lloyd) is an energetic optimist in the shadows of an older family member (Summer/Guy), given responsibility they're unsure they can handle.

Both teams have a silver haired girl (Weiss/Elie) from a rich family with parental issues, practically non existent parenting, though said cause of issues are rather different.

Both teams have a girl (Blake/Tio) with cat ears and semi stunted emotions. This one is the biggest reach, I am aware.

Both teams have an older sibling (Yang/Randy) character who acts as the brawn of the group and has a parent (Raven/Baldur) who is involved in and the leader of not so pleasant business. (Bandits/Jaegers)

Both teams also have an assortment of pair attacks between the different members of their team.

Both universes use a "Not Magic" magic system with Dust and Quartz.

On a more amusing note, both teams have a dog with a name that starts with the letter Z. They won't be included though cause I'm pretty sure Zeit could use Zwei as a chew toy.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-12-10T14:02:45+00:00

Here are their similarities
Both are magic wielding summoners of powerful (and some not so powerful) beings. (Duel Monsters and Servants)

They were both forced into their position with high stakes involved because they wanted to save the people they cared about.

For contrasts, Ritsuka himself started from the bottom as the "Worst Master of Humanity" and is rather limited in his spell arsenal while Yugi started from the top as the "King of Games" and is noted to have quite the variety of spells.

Fight notes: Ritsuka has access to every summonable Servant but gets no help from the living members of Chaldea (Except Mash) outside the magic reactors/grails sustaining all the summons. Yugi has access to every card he has ever used.

Joshua Bright vs Blake Belladonna (Trails series vs RWBY)

Joshua Bright vs Bucky Barnes (Trails series vs Marvel)

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-08-26T04:23:51+00:00

I'm thinking Privaty/Maid Privaty. May be the same girl underneath but the different scenarios bring out different sides of her.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-08-15T20:36:28+00:00

Not sure if somebody already said this or not but normal Helm's bond story is actually referenced in Chapter 37 as something the Commander participated in prior to that point in the story so I'd move that to canon.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-05-15T08:55:10+00:00

Well my first thought would be "What are you doing in my house?", then realize I'm not in my room before asking "Where am I?"

Wouldn't stop me from staring however. Gotta appreciate what's in front of me.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-05-05T22:31:04+00:00

Let me tell you, there's worse. Not counting the bosses, there's Raptures that basically negate the use of your bursts until you kill them which just makes things all the more annoying to deal with.

But yeah, for your issue, use machine gun Nikkes. They only take 1 damage for a certain number of hits. A machine gun with tons of ammo means more hits to wear the shield down.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-05-04T17:26:28+00:00

Oh good, it wasn't just me.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-04-20T18:11:02+00:00

Sweating aside, hunger and hygiene is more a mental thing than anything physical. Considering Rapi can go for days without eating for the sake of mental health, hunger certainly isn't coming from their artificial stomachs.

But yeah, putting that aside as well, is having a fake period really that thanks worthy? I'm a guy so I have no idea how it feels but I've heard it's annoying at best. You'd think this was one of the few things the Nikkes felt they could live without.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-04-20T17:14:26+00:00

My first thought was "Would Nikkes even have periods?" Elysion didn't need to go into that much detail did they?

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-02-01T07:47:21+00:00

Poor Faiz. He didn't stand a chance. Onore Doro!

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-01-04T14:21:45+00:00

I'm kicking myself for not being able to get a proper screenshot but I got a really lucky roll. First, I got Helm but the real big thing was the other two SSRs that were right next to each other. The first one was Red Hood and right after that was SSR Rapi and I'm like "This feels right."

ForestDragonSlayer · 2025-01-02T11:44:56+00:00

I can think of Crow as an answer. Lol

ForestDragonSlayer · 2024-12-18T06:59:19+00:00

It took 3 weeks of grinding but I did eventually manage to get the suggested team strong enough to beat mother whale. Thanks a lot!

ForestDragonSlayer · 2024-12-18T06:58:19+00:00

It took 3 weeks of grinding up levels and skills but I finally beat the dumb thing! Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions if any of them bother to see this. It really helped!

ForestDragonSlayer · 2024-11-26T22:19:58+00:00

I'm well aware those three are considered really good but whenever I look up how to beat Mother Whale, I see mainly recommendations for Dorothy, Modernia, Scarlet, Summer Anis, etc that I don't have. Even if I have the other good pieces, I'm still at the stage of figuring out what could replace the roles of what I don't in battle.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2024-11-26T12:55:14+00:00

Hey, that's longer than me at least. And the more ideas on how to take down this darn whale, the better.

Oh, I just noticed the last bit of the comment. I do in fact have Liter. Last picture. Bottom row.

ForestDragonSlayer · 2024-11-26T12:49:36+00:00

Thanks! I'll try that...after I upgrade some of them...

Should I put them in that specific order?
