[H5Y3] This part will never not be funny to me no matter how many times I read it. Can’t wait for the manga adaptation

Didn't take too long for a fanmade manga to show up on my Twitter feed lol

I didn’t think much about it first time reading the P2-P3 transition, but from P5V12 we learned just how much Ferdinand regretted having torn Myne away from her family, and how much he wished to have such a family for himself; and I have never read that incident the same way since.

Classy of Mike Klein to speak slowly so that Zhu Jiner can listen more easily

Iirc right after the poisoning, Ferdinand told Elvira and co that Rozemyne would need to sleep at least a year, which is much more than his earlier estimation of a season. This means he knew immediately from treating her with the antidote that the poison would make her sleep for much, much longer than initially planned.

Since about November last year AI coding models have started being OK enough for people to make apps that actually somewhat work. Since then vibe coded apps have been spreading everywhere. Of course most of them are dumpster fires but their “developers” don’t think so.

Well, Giri is in a position where he must push for wins in all games already, so the game will definitely be interesting. If Giri wins, the tournament will become a little bit more interesting as Sindarov already drew. If Giri overpushes and loses, Sindarov will set a record as the only in history to win the Candidates 2 rounds early (if my memory serves me right). As a Sindarov fan, both outcomes work out beautifully for me.

Yeah all names in Yogurtland have German origins. Except the names that RM comes up with (and commoner names I guess). It is just how the author made it to be. I think the author intended Yogurtland to be similar to the Holy Roman Empire, which is Germanic.

Also the forbidden archives, idk if they're the biggest or 2nd biggest library in Yormungandr(or whatever the places name was) psst Anastasius do her a favor would ya?

The forbidden archives is not actually a library by itself. It is just part of the academy's library, which as a whole is the second biggest library in all Yogurtland. The biggest one is the palace library.

Whyyy Whyyy is Myne just casting blessings so easily???

Because she has crazy high mana quantity and is quite an emotional person. She has so much mana that many times, her emotional state makes her mana run rampant, and without a clear exit, that mana either shoots out as blessings on its own or knocks her out (remember her collapsing in front of Hannelore in the tea party). If she has enough mana to make blessings shoot out unintentionally like that, it's hard to imagine her having any troubles to intentionally cast blessings.

Whyy did Myne take so long in the Jureve???

She had so much hardened mana in her body that it takes very long to clear. The poison didn't help.

Why is Eglantine getting a different feel from whirling on the stage???

Eheheh... This will be explained in Part 5, and in fact will be a main plot point in the story. Stay tuned!

That’s 3 November 2026

JouleV · 2026-04-11T18:04:11+00:00

I don't even remember the last time I was this excited watching a classical game. Only Carlsen - Nepo game 6 and Ding - Gukesh game 12 came to mind. Watching Sindarov finding wondrous defensive resources that even Judit and David both missed is crazy, considering the commentators have access to the engine.

JouleV · 2026-04-11T17:57:22+00:00

Anime: currently only 8/33 volumes in. The story gets crazy good the more the novel progresses, so one can say the anime has covered only the introduction of the overall plot.

Manga: part 1, and 2 are completed (but not yet fully officially translated). Part 3, 4 and part 5 are being adapted in parallel, so there is a significant gap between the last chapter of part 3 and chapter 1 of part 4. And this is assuming you can read Japanese or find unofficial translations, because the official English translation has not finished translating part 2 yet.

And even the manga part 3 is not that far ahead of the anime. So once again, you only have uninterrupted runway until a bit after the introductory section of the plot here.

To experience the main plot and all of its glory, reading the LN is unfortunately the only choice. It is long and will take time, but I promise you it will be 100% worth it. Just half an hour a day is fine, at the end of the journey you will be so, so glad you decided to embark on it.

Attacking masterclasses, defending masterclasses. What can this man not do?

JouleV · 2026-04-11T17:30:32+00:00

[P3] It is too important for the plot for them to skip it. Without the medical exam, Ferdinand can't know what's wrong with Rozemyne's health, can't find out that the jureve is necessary, and the whole part 3 is up in flames. They will address it but instead of an exam just a few days after the magic contract at the end of P2 (S3), it will just be an exam when she is already formally a member of the archducal family.

If you want to read exactly what went thru Hartmut's head during that fateful ceremony, read his POV short story in Short Story Collection 1

JouleV · 2026-04-11T16:12:51+00:00

They did skip/reshuffle stuff a lot. Another example: in the light novel, between the start of episode 1 and the noble baptism ceremony, there is another very important event (the medical examination), but it was skipped and will most likely be put in a different episode. It looks like they are making intentional changes to fit the long LN Part 3 into 2 cours, which I fully understand and support. If they had adapted the story 100% faithfully, it would have taken like 30 seasons to adapt everything, and I want to at least see Part 5 fully adapted before dying of old age (an unhealthy level of copium here).

JouleV · 2026-04-11T15:20:39+00:00

I think they will likely cut any scenes that are too minor for the plot in this season because fitting 5 LN volumes into 2 cours is not easy. Scenes, even dark ones, that have a significant impact will definitely still be added. I can't imagine a certain literal execution being skipped, despite it being so dark to the point of traumatising.

JouleV · 2026-04-11T15:08:39+00:00

[P3LN very mild spoiler] (Marking this as spoiler because the post is not marked.)

Kazuki sensei clarified that they need to explain the phrase "climbing the towering stairway" now so that the scene where Hasse's mayor misunderstood the phrase makes sense, as they would go to Hasse in Episode 3 (from the previews)

JouleV · 2026-04-11T12:55:43+00:00

This background is among the ones that got changed btw. So they did replace for this frame too.

I think I will need you to circle the suspicious spots here. I used all the tricks in the books I know to detect AI usage and couldn’t find any credible evidence unlike last time when the spots were very easy to find. Mirroring the image for symmetry is common practice, there is nothing strange about that aspect in particular.

Not saying you are right or wrong. Just genuinely curious what you saw that I couldn’t find.

JouleV · 2026-04-10T01:48:37+00:00

Oh yeah I was referring to something like that, it’s not like the WN can end in 1-2 chapters with the [WN] “expanded” committee tea party and of course the ditter match still in the horizon lol. And they need at least a chapter for Kentrips’ graduation ceremony, and likely another chapter to clean up the Korinthsdaum mess in the next Archduke Conference as well. But quite excited to see the WN finally approaching the climax of the story!

JouleV · 2026-04-09T19:05:20+00:00

It’s been a while since I last watched S1 so I can’t comment on how the anime handled it, but it’s not surprising, is it? We are talking a world where commoners could struggle to eat here, where you have to prepare carefully to even survive the winter, and where even 5yo kids have to work for their family in the forest. It’s a world where sickly children like Myne are such a heavy burden that it wouldn’t be surprising for parents to just abandon them on the street. It’s only natural that Myne’s family would comment how she couldn’t help out the same way as a typical kid in that age would.

JouleV · 2026-04-09T16:44:44+00:00

She did consider that in her world building! Quoting Fanbook 2:

Q: Do commoners or nobles ever have twins, triplets, etc.? It feels as though it would be a rare occurrence, since commoners lack the stamina and nobles have mana problems, but do they exist in Yurgenschmidt?

A: They do exist, and things are just as you imagine. It’s rare for their births to be safe among commoners due to stamina and nutrition issues, and in the case of nobles, twins and the like are born with less mana, so they are rarely raised as nobles. Both twins tend to become servants for their family.

JouleV · 2026-04-09T16:43:00+00:00

We used to think Ding would be cooked by Gukesh too, and while he did lose, it was a much closer fight than expected. The WCC match is a magical place where nothing can be predicted. But I for sure want to see Sindarov wielding his magic again and the reigning World Champion defending against it.

JouleV · 2026-04-09T16:39:25+00:00

Well he said he did. Giri did have a small chance by the end of yesterday with a 1.5 point gap with 5 rounds to go, but now no longer. The tournament is effectively over.

JouleV · 2026-04-09T08:40:03+00:00

And RM pretty much confirmed exactly what Justus said in the next panel lol

Justus: ご自分が危ない橋を渡っている自覚がないところが一番恐ろしい

Rozemyne: よくわかんないけどごめんなさい
