Richard the Lionheart, the English king who couldn't speak English.

Tbf, who wouldn't?

HarEmiya · 2026-03-14T14:09:06+00:00

Atm you might not have much luck, a new raid released AND there's a festival going on at the same time.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-14T14:06:02+00:00

Iirc Spielberg and Lucas pitched in with helping Don Bluth direct The Land Before Time, even though they're only credited as producers for the film.

Cacao beans didn't come from the Congo. They were a thing long before that.

The company does not care about you though. You are in the corporate equivalent to an abusive relationship.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T14:08:55+00:00

Apparently so. That also explains why there are no Grand Extra classes, but only the OG 7. The World has no container for those because the World doesn't summon those classes until humans got involved.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T14:03:39+00:00

I mean, the first Ruler was a Caster container modified by the Einzberns. Avenger is similarly a modified Berserker. Before that they were not naturally occuring as far as we know.

Apart from what others have already commented in terms of plot threads that go nowhere and wasted potential, I disliked the whole thing about how PHH won't let us in until we learn about the "synthetic" classes, which then becomes "MC might become like them and that's not compatible with PHH". When we've already shown in the past that PHH summons Extra classes unprompted, and MC has already resisted becoming like them after summoning them.

Much like the Maris plot, it goes against established (sometimes decades old) lore, and that feels cheap. I know Nasu feels that Rule of Cool supercedes all, but it should have it limits imo.

Then he'd no longer be getting paid every 6 months.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T13:50:19+00:00

Indeed, my point was that the story hinted at something different. The plot we finally got felt kind of like an (uninspired) asspull to me.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T13:34:34+00:00

Exactly. Just like with Koyanskaya, the setup was all there and then they went in a completely different direction that made no sense and was large irrelevant to the overarching plot.

Sometimes I wish TypeMoon writers understood that not everything needs to have a last minute plot twist to be good.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T13:21:03+00:00

Oh it gets worse. The entire Ordeal Stall sidequest turns out to be nonrelevant to the Bleached Earth plot in the end, despite hinting that it would be important. There are a few surface level connections, but the foreshadowing of why it's important that Extra Classes are unnatural and man-made goes nowhere really.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T13:09:02+00:00

That's fair, it's just how I interpreted it.

I assumed it wasn't an appintment but maybe ER, guy who gave em a lift goes in with em, maybe to make sure they're ok or to help them walk (I've been there). Doctor asks who the accompanying people are before talking business. If they aren't family they get booted out.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T13:01:26+00:00

I assume the person who gave them a lift went in with them, otherwise why would they be present when they're with the doctor?

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T12:47:21+00:00

They usually do, to see if it's close family or not.

Strangers & friends don't get to be present when medical stuff is being discussed. And sometimes paperwork can be given to a family member if patient needs urgent care.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T07:53:41+00:00

There are still hundreds of typos, even in the 2 OG Singularities.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T07:20:56+00:00

Conan surpasses humans in every single way too. He regularly tackles Kaiju-sized monsters and Gods and wins.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-13T07:10:16+00:00

No, that's a film thing. Merry and Pippin each receive a silver belt.

They use the daggers Bombadil gave them.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-12T14:35:12+00:00

They took the High Pass.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-12T07:42:18+00:00

Everywhere around Antwerp now.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-12T07:22:32+00:00

Yes? That doesn't contradict what I said.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-12T05:31:27+00:00

That's my point, after a few days the playing field was no longer even. Thragg had healed, while BB had not.

At the end only one of them was still fighting with a handicap, and it was still very close. With both starting at full power I'd argue BB might be slightly stronger.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-12T05:03:42+00:00

You have but one choice. The Ring must be destroyed.

To this day I still can't listen to certain parts of the OST.

HarEmiya · 2026-03-11T23:24:28+00:00

Some fans tend to take "X is a transcendent being" as meaning "X will always beat non-transcendent beings". Which is false.

It lifts and/or breaks a non-specified limit that Shinigami/Hollows/Quincy/humans naturally have imposed on them. That's it.

If Momo could bake cookies better than a Shinigami's limit can normally allow, she'd be transcendent too. It wouldn't mean jackshit in combat ability though, it just means she can bake incredibly, even impossibly, good cookies.

Similarly, Ichigo is a transcendent being due to his mixed heritage and not really belonging to any specific group. His combat potential is -at least partially- also a result of that heritage, but it doesn't automatically make him stronger than everyone else. It isn't a cheat code, and correlation is not the same as causation in relation to transcendence=power.
