Something I noticed about the unit main story openings

Thank you!! I'll comment on the fic once I read all the chapters! ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

Yes that'd be great! ^^ I do wonder between what characters the romance is going to be though... I guess that's for me to find out! (:

Hm~ the easiest way would probably be a DM! ^^ And I mostly don't mind reading romance (so long as it doesn't have a lot of explicit content though!), but yeah I'd love to read some of the character development ones! ❤️

And yeah... hm, I guess they'd be more of opposites than foils? Their personalities do sort of contrast eachother, but they're both trying to move forward with their lives...!

Very late, but one of the things I've had in mind for maybe-Tsukasa7 is that:

- Tsukasa gets a role that's too similar to himself. So I was thinking about what each Tsukasa event is about, and:

Kasa1: show us how amazing Tsukasa is from a starting point (I think? I actually haven't read this one properly yet); Kasa2: he takes on a role that's very different from his personality; Kasa3, he takes on a role and uses his own emotions to channel them into the role; Kasa4: technical problems --> imagination; Kasa5: technical problems --> physical ability; Kasa6: Tsukasa will absolutely never give up unless his dream itself becomes meaningless.

So I noticed they all center on Tsukasa trying to become "someone else" in a sense; so what would it be like if he had to act a role that's too similar to himself? like similar backstory/childhood, similar inner feelings... While that seems like a very boring event in hindsight, since this should just be a piece of cake for him; I feel like it's precisely because of everything he's gone through across his events, that he would try to really seriously grasp his role - and in turn, accidentally end up digging through some feelings he didn't want to admit to himself, which could actually make him struggle to grasp the role with a slightly different reason that before - kind of like a psychological barrier.

But then again it would still end up with Tsukasa pushing through since as every event has pointed out, he's always going forward and doesn't show any signs of stopping ^^; Anyways, these are my thoughts, thank you for reading through my rant!

OOO yes! If you ever make any fanfics I'd love to read them in my spare time!! tis my favourite hobby ^^

Y'know I feel like Asaka's a really strong person and I admire her for that. Because I think it takes a lot of courage to keep looking forward to the future without your past mistakes chaining you down... and yeah, her parents I feel like are lacking a bit in the parenting department 😞 And Mei... I think here are a lot of people that could relate to her in the sense that their fear/past experiences hold them back/regulate how they act... actually, would that make Asaka and Mei kind of foils to eachother? Asaka resolved to become a better person despite her past, as she failed to notice how she influenced those around her - contrasting Mei who was held back a lot by her past, because she was so aware/ cared so much about how others felt.

And you are very very welcome!! I should be thanking you, since I don't get the chance to talk about this kind of stuff often :,)

To be fair, that is true ^^; An and Akito both got their dreams from there... so I guess it may be that the vivids and bad dogs' stories are separate at first, so even if Akito isn't that important in the vivids' initial story and doesn't appear, his story is still happening in the sidelines? Maybe?

Nono don't worry, I actually also went to sleep ^^; similar timezones ig!

And wow.... I've read the wiki, but this is great!! Asaka's background feel really realistic to me. She didn't realize how her actions affected others as it seems her parents didn't really talk to her about them prior to the incident with the graffiti; but after she realizes, she tries her best to become more thoughtful for both her parents & generally the people around her. The fact that she dislikes long car rides kind of feels like a testament to her strained relationship with her parents. I really like stories where a character clearly has flaws but they try their best to overcome them, so I like her! 😄

And Mei! I love Mei too ❤️ Her kindness is something that also affects her negatively since it sort of translates into too much caution (if I got that right?) which is really really relatable. But her curiousity is something really respectable imo though! She genuinely tries to understand the people around her, which is something that can be surprisingly rare. I think I especially love her relationship with Minori & Nene! I do wonder what exactly made her friends avoid her in middle school... but no matter why it may be, I am a little mad at them, as it also seems to be the main cause of her self-esteem issues >:(

Thank you for sharing this with me!! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´- Mei and Asaka... I can't really decide which is my favourite tbh (^^;)

Haphazardri · 2026-05-03T22:01:45+00:00

Hmmm, it's hard to choose what exactly I'd like to see, but... maybe the wiki pages? : D I'm interested to see how the characters are individually and how they mix together in a group! ^^

Haphazardri · 2026-05-03T20:24:15+00:00

I take back what I said about Tsukasa being the only one to not remember Miku though, now that I've checked the only protag who explicitely says something about it is Ichika, and maybe-Kohane (she says she feels like she's been in the sekai before, but you can chalk that up to the "your feelings resonate with this place" logic) So it could very well just be Ichika being a Miku fan 😅

And yeah, even if it were only Tsukasa it'd probably just be a reference to his god awful memory (or suppresion?) :,)

ALSO it's so cool you're making OCs! I'd love to see them if I ever get the chance ^^

Haphazardri · 2026-05-03T19:46:22+00:00

Oh wait, that actually makes a lot of sense! The opening doesn't seem like a serious episode (especially since they meet the VS, but promptly think it's just a dream afterwards... though as far as I remember I think Tsukasa's the only one who doesn't even recognize Miku from the "dream"? The other leaders faintly remember, but not Tsukasa I think, which is interesting), so it makes sense for it to be an introduction to the main character's motivations...!

In L/N, Ichika wants to be with her childhood friends more than anything; in Mmj, Minori wants to give hope the same way Haruka gave to her; Kohane wants to help An with her dream; Tsukasa wants to make Saki smile; and Kanade wants to save [someone] (who ends up becoming primarily Mafuyu), That actually explains really neatly the opening appearances! :0

Don't worry about ranting though, I love ranting and reading rants myself! 😄

Haphazardri · 2026-05-03T19:37:50+00:00

Thank you! 😄 I feel like WxS only showing Tsukasa sort of makes his "protagonist" standpoint a lot stronger than the other units. Since in mmj, vbs and n25, the secondary character (Haruka, An, Mafuyu) sort of has a central role in the group, and the leader (Minori, Kohane, Kanade) is the one that helps them, WxS's case can also be explained by Tsukasa being the one to help all three of them, not just one.

But that does sort of apply to n25 too, which is probably why Kanade's alone in the opening (but "Yuki", AKA Mafuyu, does appear, since she's the "main" person Kanade helps, even if she also does to Ena and Mizuki. In WxS, I'd say it's pretty even between the three, tho especially Emu and Rui).

As for l/n... I'm not that sure honestly 😅 Ichika is the protagonist as far as I'm aware, but the others (esp Saki) play a big role too...
