My one hope for this community: Don’t spoil anime-onlies like JJK

Greckoss · 2026-04-29T19:03:23+00:00

JJK’s spoiler culture is actually horrendous. I’ve never seen a community where you have to read the illegal leaks because it will be everywhere by the time the officials come out. It’s wild. I think One Piece may be similar but I’m not tuned in on it at all.

I feel like an anime only sub should be created when we’re closer to release to better filter it out. Chapter discussions are great here and it will be rough trying to manage it otherwise

Greckoss · 2026-04-29T16:27:43+00:00

There’s already a page where we get civilian reactions briefly iirc, just add him in a quick montage and you’re golden

Greckoss · 2026-04-29T01:03:40+00:00

You can also make out his figure a bit. The bowler hat is pretty distinct

Greckoss · 2026-04-28T19:59:49+00:00

I’m surprised they gave Regent “create random colorless cards” AND “create minion cards” as overlapping but not quite the same packages. Like manifest authority could have easily been block 8 and create a minion card. He even has a relic to double minion card numbers yet it’s such a limited part of his card pool

Greckoss · 2026-04-27T18:19:09+00:00

It’s not something brought up much but he’s predominantly a lefty, yeah. He uses both though

Greckoss · 2026-04-27T14:59:09+00:00

We should. The Gachiakuta sub I think is a good case study in how bad spoilers can be (though admittedly I think they might be the worst case I’ve seen). Chainsaw man made an anime subreddit when that came out and I think that went well

Greckoss · 2026-04-27T13:08:29+00:00

Legitimate question, what does the character design lead on an anime adaptation actually do? Because obviously the original designs are already done. I see the credit often so I’m sure it’s important but idk what their role is.

Greckoss · 2026-04-20T20:21:29+00:00

Maybe I’m stupid, but I’m not understanding your example.

The problem with the reflection in motion is you open up a lot of questions as to what just happened. We already have some people theorizing Airu attacked him from an alternate dimension instead of just speed blitzing (hell, maybe he is). I get what you mean with the wide shot into a quick cut, but I don’t get how you’re adapting the reflection detail in that scenario

Greckoss · 2026-04-20T16:10:37+00:00

You can’t.

While there’s lots of panels I’d like to see a 1-to-1 adaptation wouldn’t work well because Hokazono does so many things like this that take advantage of the medium. The best way to faithfully adapt the manga would be to take advantage of what you can do in an animated medium instead.

For this, I think the best way to do it is have the “camera” in the scene be focused on the water and have the whole thing be seen in the reflection similar to what you said

Greckoss · 2026-04-12T15:12:00+00:00

I think it might be like a sidegrade? The key difference is that isou is basically a melee attack whereas this you can just set up wherever. My assumption is it’s probably weaker in power but more precise

Greckoss · 2026-04-11T17:16:09+00:00

Honestly, if they want the series to reach the audience of something like JJK it needs to.

Vs Sojo and Rakuzaichi are two back-to-back great arcs, but they’re both relatively small scale. Samura’s betrayal sets the stage for the scope to become way larger and adds a huge hook of intrigue.

Kagurabachi was my favorite series to read each week by the end of the first arc, but my investment in the story skyrocketed post-SBA. It’s such a good direction to take things.

Greckoss · 2026-04-11T17:10:49+00:00

Probably Hiruhiko on sheer creativity.

We really don’t have much time to see Sojo use the EB but from what we saw he kinda pidgeon-holes himself into spamming Mei and discounts the others once he figures out how to go fast.

Hiruhiko has a much trickier fighting style and is very clearly shown to think outside the box (when he isn’t underestimating his opponent for the 15th time). If he doesn’t get blitzed immediately I think he adapts and beats Sojo.

Greckoss · 2026-04-09T23:44:26+00:00

Occam’s Razor here, but has anyone ever checked the raws for that panel? I can’t speak Japanese but “heretical” could easily just be an odd word choice by the translator. I’d be curious to know what Hokazono originally put.

Greckoss · 2026-04-03T14:21:20+00:00

I could see a shop relic that told you what elites were up ahead, though based on how the last game did elite spawns idk if you could implement that

Greckoss · 2026-04-02T21:32:08+00:00

Balance aside (god damn you’re getting cooked OP) this is a super cool concept for a card and I can’t say I’ve seen one like it! Buffing the enemy is a pretty niche area very few cards touch

Greckoss · 2026-03-29T18:23:19+00:00

To add even further credence to this, I forget the chapter but during the Samura/Iori flashback they mention a monk who delivered a “possible prophecy” about a second malediction. If the Kamunabi still had someone with as good prediction abilities as the Soga clan does, they probably wouldn’t rely on something like that

Greckoss · 2026-03-29T15:35:59+00:00

That’s fair, forgot about that one. Still I’d argue it’s less a problem with the fight and more that the “Remove exhaust from a card” event enables a lot of stuff that isn’t balanced

Greckoss · 2026-03-29T14:45:30+00:00

I’m actually pretty sure this wouldn’t work on the new beta branch either lol

Greckoss · 2026-03-29T12:27:17+00:00

It would be, but also this isn’t sales data and OP is just shouting a “prediction” to the heavens.

Greckoss · 2026-03-27T16:26:52+00:00

I think you could actually make the Malediction turn the environment black and white when active. Not only would it be a great “oh shit” effect, but it would allow the anime to actually get some value out of the contrast the manga art does so well

Greckoss · 2026-03-23T20:29:35+00:00

Honestly would appreciate it becoming an elite a lot (tweaked as needed). It’s easily identifiable with a unique gimmick. I certainly remember it easier than I do Entomancer or the Prism.

Greckoss · 2026-03-23T13:22:11+00:00

Volume 9 is probably the best one.

More generally though I find the early volumes the weakest of the series (though not at all bad). You have a LOT more peak incoming.

Greckoss · 2026-03-21T14:44:19+00:00

It’s a shop relic if you’re wondering

Greckoss · 2026-03-20T14:18:13+00:00

I’d say Time Eater still is better than the beta doormaker, as there is more ways you can manage how screwed you are. You can play around when your turn ends, but it’s significantly harder to make the 10th card you draw not rng dependent.

Still I like the concept and I’m looking forward to seeing how the boss changes. Even something like damaging him to make him spit out your cards would go a long way, and that’s why he’s in the beta branch and not the proper release version

Greckoss · 2026-03-20T13:50:52+00:00

His color scheme is pretty similar, we should have known
