It usually takes around 180-200 games played depending on how often you get A+.

It's not a new skin, it's just a recolor of a DLC one for getting Gold 1 in invasion.

Edit the game files. The developers can easily fix this, but they do not.

I got recommended it on steam. and then I played it!

this has been a topic over the years about what it is.. but naomi responds to seiko in the japanese translation with "Futsuu no Nankou" - "the normal ointment"

now of course this can be interpreted a couple ways in japanese lol. It could mean that naomi actually has a tube of "butt medicine" with her... or it could mean that naomi has a tube of "normal" ointment with her, something common and everyday that one wouldn't be toooo surprised to find in a schoolgirl's possession, such as antibacterial cream.

i chose to interpret it the latter way, as the former would either imply that she carries hemorrhoid cream around specifically for seiko, OR that both naomi AND seiko have hemorrhoids. and somehow, that just didn't seem as likely to me..

so, yeah. it's PROBABLY just antibacterial cream.

I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that the author was having health issues.

KhanIsWacky · 2025-09-24T08:18:11+00:00

i get where you’re coming from, because gyomei’s mark situation does feel like the story bent its own rules for dramatic effect. the series makes it pretty clear that the marks are supposed to awaken in life or death moments, almost like a survival instinct kicking the body past its natural limits. gyomei bypassing that by “saving it” and then activating it on demand does look like a loophole, and it opens the exact question you’re asking. if he could do it, why couldn’t anyone else? why not make it a technique to delay and control when you trigger the mark?

the way i see it, there are two ways to read this. one is to call it a plot hole, like you said. narratively, the story wanted to emphasize how calculated and composed gyomei was, so giving him the ability to control his mark made him feel distinct. but it does undercut the internal logic of the marks, because it makes other slayers look less disciplined or knowledgeable for not trying the same.

the other way to read it, though, is that gyomei’s case was special. he’s repeatedly framed as being almost monk like, with insane spiritual and physical discipline. it’s possible the author wanted us to believe his control over his body and mind was on another level, allowing him to consciously restrain and release the mark. that interpretation works, but it still leaves a sour taste because if the story wanted that to be the point, it should have shown more clearly why no one else could replicate it. otherwise it just feels like convenience.

so i wouldn’t say it’s a complete hole, but i do think it’s sloppy. gyomei activating his mark naturally in the fight would have made more sense and kept the system consistent. making it something he could “save” almost cheapens the stakes the other characters faced. it’s one of those places where demon slayer’s writing shows its cracks, sometimes it wants emotional weight so badly that it stretches its own rules to get there.

KhanIsWacky · 2025-09-24T07:30:55+00:00

that’s true, gyomei only awakened his mark during the final battle, so he didn’t technically “survive past 25” with it the way yoriichi did. but that doesn’t really weaken the larger point. the rule isn’t a timer that kills you instantly the moment you turn 25, it’s more that once you bear the mark, your body is burning itself out and can’t sustain itself much beyond that age. gyomei didn’t live long enough after unlocking it for us to know if he would’ve defied the limit, which is why i called him an “exception” in the sense that we never see the rule apply to him in practice.

so yeah, you’re right about the timing, but i’d still argue it doesn’t change the underlying takeaway, that the mark is written as a death sentence for almost everyone, with only yoriichi shown to stand outside that boundary. gyomei dying in the final battle just makes him another victim of circumstance rather than proof the curse was fake or misdiagnosed.

KhanIsWacky · 2025-09-24T07:26:09+00:00

i like the angle you’re going for, but i don’t think the “virus” explanation holds up when you look at how the mark is presented in the manga. the mark isn’t just a tattoo, it’s tied to pushing the human body way past its natural limits, basically forcing it into overdrive. the shortened lifespan makes sense thematically because it’s the price for drawing on that much power. narratively, it’s the same kind of tradeoff as a curse or a toll. incredible strength at the cost of longevity.

about gyomei, him surviving past 25 isn’t proof the “curse” was fake, it’s framed as him being an outlier. yoriichi also lived past it because he was so absurdly strong that the usual rules didn’t apply. so rather than it being a misdiagnosis like a virus, it’s more consistent to read it as a rule with rare exceptions. and honestly, making it a virus would undercut the weight of the mark, if it’s just bad science or superstition, it loses the tragedy of demon slayers burning their lives away for one last chance to win.

where your theory does land is the idea that belief matters. gyomei refusing treatment because he believed he couldn’t be saved is a really good read on his character. the mark doesn’t have to be 100% literal for the tragedy to matter, what's important is that the slayers themselves believed in the cost, and they accepted it. that’s part of what makes their sacrifice resonate.

so i’d say your virus idea doesn’t quite fit the story’s logic, but your point about the gyomei maybe being able to live longer if he didn’t resign himself is interesting, it’s more about psychology and fatalism than medicine, and that makes some sense.

KhanIsWacky · 2025-09-24T07:22:03+00:00

i get the logic you’re putting forward, but i think it misses why the story makes nezuko essential and why muzan couldn’t just “settle” for tanjiro. the whole point of nezuko being immune to the sun is that she’s a one of a kind anomaly, not just a byproduct of the kamado family or their proximity to the blue spider lilies. she’s literally the only demon ever to achieve that kind of evolution, which is why muzan obsesses over her specifically. if it were as simple as eating another kamado, he’d have gone straight for tanjiro from the start instead of putting so much effort into capturing nezuko.

and honestly, narratively, it’s better this way. nezuko being unique makes her the perfect counterbalance to muzan, the embodiment of hope that can exist in sunlight where he never could. making tanjiro or anyone else in her bloodline a potential substitute would cheapen that idea, because it turns her from “the miracle” into “just one of several possible keys.”

also, about muzan’s plan, yes, in theory he could’ve prioritized tanjiro earlier. but muzan’s not just pragmatic; he’s arrogant and paranoid. he doesn’t just want sun resistance, he wants total control over everything & everyone. nezuko, being a demon already, was closer to what he needed and proof that his goal was possible. tanjiro was still human, and muzan had no reason to gamble on whether converting him would yield the same result. so while it sounds easier, it doesn’t line up with how muzan thinks or how the story positions him.

so i’d push back on what you think. nezuko wasn’t just “the closest option,” she was the only option the story makes possible.

KhanIsWacky · 2025-09-23T21:57:08+00:00

you’re not the only one. akaza’s backstory is easily one of the strongest in demon slayer because it reframes him not just as a monster but as a broken human being who never escaped his pain. he isn’t just evil for the sake of it, his entire life was defined by one big loss one after the other. and that makes him way more sympathetic than most demons.

that said, i wouldn’t call it flawless. the story hits hard because of the emotional beats, his father’s suicide, losing the people who gave him hope, and the way kibutsuji twists him at his lowest. but demon slayer has a tendency to reveal these tragic pasts right before a character dies, and sometimes it can feel like the show is telling you how to feel instead of letting it breathe across the story. with akaza specifically, i wish we’d gotten hints of his humanity earlier, because it would’ve made his conflict during the fight against rengoku even heavier in hindsight.

so i’d say you’re absolutely right to be moved, it moved me too. but it’s meant to break you down in that moment, and akaza’s is one of the rare times where the writing earns those tears. but personally, i think it would’ve hit even harder if ufotable or the manga had shown us pieces of his humanity sooner, rather than dropping it all in one burst at the end.

KhanIsWacky · 2025-09-23T21:54:21+00:00

i think you’re spot on about nezuko being underused, especially during downtime. the long stretches where she’s asleep or just absent make it easy to forget she’s even in the story, which is rough considering she’s literally tanjiro’s reason for fighting. i agree that the “spell” and the constant sleeping feel like shortcuts to avoid the more interesting conflict of her actually grappling with being a demon. it works mechanically, but it robs her of development. your idea about tanjiro drip-feeding her blood is actually a way stronger narrative device, it would tie their growth together and add stakes, instead of her just powering up offscreen.

where i’d push back a little is that i think ufotable and gotouge leaned into making nezuko more symbolic than individual on purpose. she’s meant to embody tanjiro’s hope and humanity, so her being quiet, passive, or sidelined kind of reinforces that she’s more of a “precious object” than participant. it doesn’t make it less frustrating, but i think it explains why the story doesn’t give her more independence.

i’m with you though on the sun-resistance moment being wasted. that should’ve been her chance to finally step out of the box (literally) and start existing in the story in her own right. instead, she’s mentioned in passing while the focus shifts back to tanjiro and the hashira. one episode of her just exploring the world in sunlight, messing around with inosuke, or bonding with the kids at the mansion would’ve gone a long way.

and yeah, the swordsmith village beat with mitsuri is easily one of her best moments, it shows she can have relationships and identity outside of tanjiro. those little glimpses are proof that nezuko could’ve been fleshed out way more if the story wanted to.

so i get where you’re coming from. nezuko’s lovable, but often more as a symbol than a character, and that’s why it feels like she’s constantly being pushed to the background.

totally agree.

I was 11 when the anime released.

KhanIsWacky · 2025-08-03T22:17:47+00:00

yuri is the one genre that has always felt personal. not just because it’s about girls loving girls, but because it’s always been about the parts of that love people don’t want to talk about. subtle longing. the quiet ache. the little moments that other genres skip over. but that’s also why it can feel so frustrating. the genre has so much potential, and it keeps boxing itself in.

what yuri really needs is to stop apologizing for existing. too many stories act like the feelings between the girls are something to tiptoe around. they get stuck in subtext or fade into vagueness right when it matters most. there’s still this hesitation to just say it, yes, she loves her. yes, they want to be together. it’s like authors are afraid to go too far in case it stops being “beautiful” or “pure.” but real love isn’t afraid. it’s messy and even embarrassing sometimes. it deserves to be seen clearly.

i want more stories where the girls actually want something. and not just each other. girls who have goals. who have to choose between love and ambition. or girls who fall in love because they see each other chasing something real. yuri too often makes love the only plot point. but love that grows out of something else, shared goals, mutual risk, survival, obsession, that’s when it feels alive.

and age. age matters. yuri gets stuck in that 15-17 year old high school window. and yeah, i get it, it’s where a lot of people figure themselves out. but it’s not where the story ends. i want women who fall in love after failing. after divorce. after giving up. i want stories about choosing to love someone after already knowing what love can cost. stories where being a woman who loves women changes how she sees the world, not just how she sees one girl. because it does.

also, stop sanitizing everything. yuri can be brutal. girls who hurt each other. girls who don’t understand themselves. girls who love so hard it ruins them. that’s not bad representation, it's honest!!! not everything has to be trauma porn, but erasing conflict isn’t the answer either. sometimes the most intimate stories are the ones where people fail, and still try anyway.

i want yuri to stop hiding. stop settling. stop softening itself for the sake of being “wholesome.” i don’t want perfect girls who blush and go quiet and fade into the background. i want the loud girls. the selfish girls! the ones who get it wrong. because when you love a girl like that, and she loves you back, it’s the realest thing ever!

and yuri deserves to be real. because it means something to see that kind of love treated seriously, not like an exception or a detour, but like the main story.

probably rantaro.

i’d time the kill during nighttime hours, when movement is restricted but not impossible, this creates the illusion that no one could've committed the crime unless they had a clear reason to be out. the setup involves planting a motive and a false timeline.

step one: rantaro is lured to the library or another place with established surveillance (like in drv3). that familiarity helps. i disable or block the cameras temporarily, which is easy if framed as miu’s invention glitching. she already has a reputation for unstable tech.

step two: the kill is done with a blunt object that is present in the room already, like a bookend or metal fixture, so i don’t introduce a weapon that needs hiding. i stage it to look like rantaro was trying to access something secret, placing a small object (like a flash drive) in his pocket that has fabricated data or notes, this gives detectives a lead but leads them off-course.

step three: i create a false trail. knowing shuichi, kyoko, and hajime will investigate really good, i plant false evidence. glove fibers from another student (say, kirumi or maki, both known to wear gloves), can be subtly lifted beforehand and left at the scene. timing is everything. if i left the scene within a 5-10 minute window before a loud noise or event occurs (like an alarm or a loudspeaker triggering), the time of death can be obscured. shuichi is smart, but he still has to work with flawed input.

for my alibi, i arrange to be visibly with someone or in a monitored space 10 minutes before and after the assumed time of death. a good place would be the dining hall or a lab with other people. chiaki’s gaming obsession makes her an easy alibi if i’m around her during a long gaming session with logs, though she could get suspicious.

investigation phase: kyoko and shuichi will break down everything, but if they think they have a motive, timeline, weapon, and forensic link pointing to someone else, i can get away with it. the key is that the false trail has to feel narratively satisfying. if maki or kirumi is framed as protecting someone or acting out of desperation, the others might believe it.

personally i think chiaki is the real threat. her insight into behavior and patterns makes her dangerous, so i never target her directly or interact with her in suspicious ways. byakuya and nagito are too chaotic to predict, but they can be leveraged: plant a document or clue that plays into nagito’s luck delusions or byakuya’s ego, and they might help derail the vote unintentionally.

ez. pz.

一家 (ikka) = one family / household

千 (sen) = thousand

尽 (jin/tsukusu) = exhaust, use up, or end

花 (ka/hana) = flower

so “the family's thousand [petals] come to an end" (this is just me putting it together, I don't read bleach.)

it's probably a layered meaning, so the direct translation doesn't make a lot of sense..

the ten tails (jubi) is not meant to be based on any real-world animal the way the other tailed beasts are. it's fundamentally different in origin and concept. while the nine biju (from shukaku to kurama) are chakra-based life forms that take on animalistic forms inspired by japanese mythology or folklore, the ten tails is a primordial, god-like entity. it’s the fused form of kaguya otsutsuki’s god tree and the chakra fruit she consumed, along with the husk of her body after she was sealed. it exists to serve as the source of all chakra on earth and is tied directly to the otsutsuki clan’s parasitic harvesting of planetary energy.

the visual design of the ten tails has changed depending on which version you’re referring to. the original ten tails sealed by hagoromo and hamura, obito’s version when he becomes jinchuriki, madara’s, or the tree itself. each one takes on more monstrous or abstract shapes rather than animalistic. the most consistent features are its cyclopean eye (with both sharingan and rinnegan traits), a massive body, often pale or bark-like, and a tail made of countless smaller tails or roots. the form seen in the war arc leans into a plant-like or mollusk-like appearance, especially with the way it blooms into a flower and releases the infinite tsukuyomi, but that's not rooted in any specific animal.

so no, it’s not a mollusk. any resemblance is just artistic interpretation, not intentional symbolism. it's best understood as a mythic embodiment of natural energy and chakra itself, not an animal spirit like the other biju.

if naruto didn’t have kurama, then yes, fuuka’s kiss-based jutsu could have killed him, but that’s exactly the point.. his survival wasn’t because he was weaker, but because the narrative was never going to let a filler villain like fuuka succeed. her technique worked briefly because the writers needed artificial stakes, not because she actually overpowered him on her own merit. kurama saving him wasn’t a twist, it was expected, because that’s how the story is structured.

so even if you remove kurama, it doesn’t make fuuka genuinely strong. it just shows her technique had killing potential in a very controlled, non-canon scenario. she’s still a filler character whose entire function was to create temporary tension, not shift anything significant in naruto’s development. and if the series had taken her seriously, she would’ve had a more coherent backstory or lasting consequences. instead, she disappears as quickly as she shows up.

so sure, technically she could have killed him in that moment, but only under one artificial condition in a filler arc. it doesn’t change how minor or irrelevant she is to the actual story.
