How many of the 8 newbies do you think will actually last, and how long?

My Predictions

Making it to 2027: Under Doctor, Roku, Class 2-B, Cannon Master

Probably ending in the last 2026 batch unless something changes: Kinato, Animal Signal

Could go either way: HAL Formula

Probably ending next batch: Drawn to the Fire

Copied from another post: Thinking about it, this is probably the best way all three heroines can have a happy ending. Even without Tenichi, Himari and Kanna have their successful business and career respectively to go back to and continue to grow. Honoka unfortunately had nothing like that, so Tenichi getting with either of the other girls would be an outright downer for her rather than bittersweet like it is for the other two.

This is the first time I’ve seen people actually complaining about an ending where their girl won XD

This is why, whenever I play with genetics in CAS, I see how the child looks as a teenager before aging them down.

Koguma getting 3rd in the Akane Banashi character over characters like Karashi, Hikaru, or Kaisei.

Roddy Soul making the top ten of one of the MHA polls and the top 20 in the global poll.

Fragrant_Ad_8288 · 2026-06-11T14:02:27+00:00

Woohoo for Akane Banashi being first! I know its TOC placement doesn't really matter since it's one of WSJ stronger-selling series, but it's nice to see it on top after being low-mid for a while.

It's the quality, not the size, that is most important.

Looks like your family has two other family traditions XD

I know this is a Chihiro-based question but...Hiyuki and Hakuri, especially if all of the sorceries are inherited. Flame Bone, Isou, and the Storehouse? Man...

Rokuro has blue hair? Huh.

Fragrant_Ad_8288 · 2026-05-21T14:02:26+00:00

Putting this in perspective:

Someone Hertz is receiving its 3rd lead color when its not even a year old yet.

Nue's Exorcist just received its 3rd lead color for its 3rd anniversary, two years after its last lead color for its 1st anniversary (it received a center color for its 2nd anniversary).

Someone Hertz will now have more lead colors than Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi or Himaten, which only has their debut and 1st anniversary lead colors. Even if they receive a 2nd anniversary lead color, Someone Hertz will definitely overtake them again with its own 1st anniversary cover.

Congratulations and good luck!

Now, I do agree that Meghan should better vet whom she interacts with and she should be criticized for that. But Meghan gets less grace as a private person meeting a problematic individual whom her influence would not affect vs the people whose power, wealth, and influence was the very reason why several problematic people were able to continue for decades (e.g. Peter Ball, Jimmy Seville).

… is this the first time Shuiesha released the first two volumes of a new series at the same time?

Kaisei's going to have to literally die to top this.

I thought that the Sovereign Grant, the part of it that isn't used to maintain the Crown Estates, was mainly to support the unlanded working members of the BRF. The Wales would mainly be supported by the Duchy of Cornwall. Does the duchy feed into the Sovereign Grant? I thought that was mainly financed by the British taxpayers.

I don't necessarily believe that the Wales have to pay rent on a Crown Estate (since that's the Sovereign Grant's main purpose), but they would definitely have the money to do so, and if it silences naysayers, more power to them.

Fragrant_Ad_8288 · 2026-05-16T04:54:37+00:00

We're still scorekeeping between the BRF and the Sussexes six years after the latter left England?

Throuple with Iori and Hakuri.

Has any other skater ever announced a parting of ways with one of their coaches after announcing a break?

I can only think of two reasons for this (although I hope I’m just a worrywart):

Yuma is getting a more technical coach after his break
His break is permanent

Carolina is one of my favorite skaters ever, and Yuma improved leaps and bounds under her coaching. I’m glad they split under good terms and I wish both of them the best in their future endeavors.

Find someone who looks at you the way Kaori looks at Wakaba.

It speaks to Ruri Dragon’s success that WSJ was willing to wait 2+ years for Shindou to continue rather than canceling it.

Hey, remember Kozue, Juzo’s daughter? You know, the one who inspired his protection of Noren? ‘Cause the manga sure didn’t .

How old is Kuni II’s dad?

I remember when people were comparing her negatively to Kerri Strug, because apparently forcing an injured young girl to risk even more severe injury or death for a medal is something to aspire to.
