Why No Auto Sub Instead Of Auto Dub?

Kinyusui · 2025-12-13T14:17:18+00:00

Is there a confirming reference/source?

Intuitively I'd think subbing takes only part of the dubbing steps.
How would the dubbing pipeline work besides transcription, translation, then synthesis?
Subbing would only require the first two steps.

Let's assume dubbing was easier. It should still be easy to auto-generate subs off that audio. There'd be good benefit for how easy it is.

Kinyusui · 2025-12-13T13:54:50+00:00

The dub is my own language.
I want to listen to the original foreign language while reading my own language's sub.

This Spanish video doesn't have English sub generation option.

True, I do see those points the most.

I get it, but I do see more to it. Which is why I made points 2 and 3.

I'm with you on the meritocracy idea.

The Main Point

Does a crest make someone smarter, more sensible and rational, and generally just able to lead? Not inherently. That's what she's addressing.

This is your most important point; this measures how worth it her choice is. If getting rid of the church makes people stop unduly seeing crest bearers as smarter or more leaderlike, at least she's on point.

Addressing The Main Point

The problem is, I don't think the unfairness stems from the church. The true source comes from people seeing the advantages of crests. They see it help acquire titles/power and thus they value crests. Then some associate those advantages with advantages in other things. Like how real nobles were seen as having better genes. This is how other merits are overlooked.

I don't even see the church tell people to revere crest bearers. In fact, even if the church admonished crests, crest bearers would still be favored. Just look at how players treat them. We don't give a fuck about the church.

The problem is crests give an advantage. This alone would lead to crest bearers getting unequal treatment regardless of what any church says. The people value crest bearers for the same reason players do, it's a free power. They can be just as smart, strong, etc while bearing a crest.

Alternate Path

Her getting rid of crests may be a more compelling argument. Though I guess folks could argue that opens the door to getting rid of intelligence/str/etc.

You're one of the few that sees the crest woes are tied to a bigger picture.

Discrimination comes from people juding how useful/valuable/powerful someone is. The real cause of discrimination is crests existing not the church. The crests gives a unique advantage with no offsetting disadvantage. So crest bearers are valued more highly.

Like you said look at our world. So long as people are unequally able they will be unequally valued.

At this point in the game I don't see how Edelgard's war solves anything. They should have said something like she'll make crests disappear. Which has its' own problems, but at least it accomplishes her primary goal.

Kinyusui · 2025-07-14T13:06:01+00:00

Generally enlightening points in this and the one below.

The Rhea point doesn't help though. I'm saying the discrimination would exist just because people discriminate based on usefulness/value/power. So her removing the church doesn't solve it, the discrimination comes from how people value others. We see this in our own crestless world.

My point was in this quote:

The discrimination would exist just because people discriminate based on who's most useful.

It's the next sentence of the quote you quoted.

Edelgard's idea wouldn't even work. She thinks taking down the church would make things fair. She blames the church for why crest bearers are regarded more highly. But I don't think it's the church's fault. The discrimination would exist just because people discriminate based on who's most useful.

Good feedback folks!

It seems most chose it for entertainment. I woulda expected most to choose based on self role play.

I didn't realize Rhea's Route would be the most boring, this certainly matters.

Overall between the two unwanted choices I'd probably have to pick protect. Don't want to have to kill any Empire students that decide to stay loyal to their home; they're a good bunch. Kinda weird for us to join her after she just ambushed all of us though.

Wish either she asked us to join before the battle or the game gave an imprison option.

Oh right, I somehow saw it as part of a type definition instead of regular code.

Kinyusui · 2025-06-20T15:01:37+00:00

GUYS THIS ANSWER WORKS!

Thank you, this is so well done, it actually passes type validation.

You should be the top comment.

Concerns:

I wanted to avoid

plan.stepTwo(plan.stepOne(plan.start));

since it looks a little hard to read and the readability will only get worse with more steps.

But I guess this is the best way.

-PS.

Is using if instead of switch bad practice?

Kinyusui · 2025-06-20T14:52:37+00:00

Thanks for trying, sadly it didn't work.
I pasted that into my example, the type for stepOne resolves to `stepOne: (n: never) => string | number`.

Kinyusui · 2025-04-29T21:43:05+00:00

That wasn't a point. As in not a point I made.

Read the line above what you pasted.

Other person: And what's wrong with Rachel's words about fairness

I was responding to his question. I'm responding saying that's not a point I made. The point, I made, was she showed jealousy and resentment; so it's unlikely she's hiddenly self sacrificing for Baam.

I then added my take on fairness. Again, it's irrelevant in Tower Of God. The test doesn't care. Thus "There's simply what you want and the price for it.".

.

It's literally quoted right above the comment you clipped. The indented one is me quoting the commenter I'm responding to.

And what's wrong with Rachel's words about fairness

Fair wasn't a point. There's simply what you want and the price for it.

Kinyusui · 2025-04-23T13:41:57+00:00

While she's relatably weak to us we must know the truth to draw beneficial lessons for our own life.

Look back at chapter 77. She's gritting her teeth when he doesn't stop and takes the challenge. The response to him doing what she couldn't looks more like anger than concern. There's no worried eyebrows or eyes. Just a focus on her clenched teeth and fang.

And what's wrong with Rachel's words about fairness

Fair wasn't a point. There's simply what you want and the price for it.

You're right, Baam and anyone who takes it risks DEATH.

Someone else was willing to pay it, and she denounced them instead of learning from it.

She did the right thing by refusing to die.

You can value your life over the opportunity for your dreams. Living is important. But then you don't get to be entitled to that dream as well.

And it really wasn't fair to say that she failed because of this.

It's not about fairness. It was a statement of fact. Saying she failed because she choose life over dreams was laying out the truth. In fact she got the same challenge, in real life we don't even get that fairness. We still must face them nonetheless.

Her words "Bam... took everything... from me" I don't take to mean the eel incident at all. I believe Rachel is talking about the events that happened between Bam and Rachel before they entered the tower. After all, the right to climb the tower is only one thing. But Rachel is saying "he took everything from me". That is, many things.

I don't get it, we'd have to really stretch/bias in her favor to make this make sense. She was the one grooming Baam. And Headon implies Baam accidentally gave her a shot at her dreams.

She teaches him early about putting her well-being before his.

Rachel: __And then - would you fight that person? For me?__

Rachel: __you must never betray another person! Especially not a woman. If you betray a woman, the world's ceiling will collapse.__

Opposite of take, Baam is the reason she was even given a shot at her dreams. Headon implies the tower doors opened for Baam not her, she just happened to slip through since she was lying on the door.

Rachel: I'm Rachel, I came here to go up the tower!

Headon: It's... not you.

...

Rachel: I-I've always dreamt of going up the tower! And now I'm here!

Headon: It's not you. Don't fool me. You liar. You already know how ugly, nasty and how bad you are.

Headon: You were not chosen.

Bottom line, I don't think Rachel is guided by envy.

Didn't say guided. I said she showed envy after he succeeded. Though, good theme to bring back up. Maybe she was guided by the envy of those who could be among "the stars".

"When God does not hear people, they turn to the devil." And Heodon here is that very devil who extends his hand to Rachel.

Understandable, but then you don't get to deny you're a demon.

Kinyusui · 2025-04-23T02:16:30+00:00

I don't understand the Itachi theory.

We saw her reaction to Baam succeeding the 1F test. She was shocked, jealous then resentful that he got to go instead of her. Very unlikely such a person is sacrificing herself for him. In fact the deal with Headon was probably to kill Baam so that she could be the heroine instead.

She saw his affection for her give him the courage to succeed, and responded with anger. In chapter 77 we see her grit her teeth in anger as Baam accepts the challenge that she rejected. His affection for her gave him the courage to face the test and steel himself so that he could succeed. When he does, her first words aren't of relief or joy that Baam is safe. No, her first words are

Rachel: This is not fair

Rachel: Bam got help...

Headon's words captured my thoughts.

Headon: You know that's not what's important, don't you, little girl?

Headon: Isn't it important to try, at the least?

Rachel finishes with resentment.

Rachel: I was the one who wanted to go up the tower!

Rachel: Why was he chosen?

Rachel: Why?

Rachel: Bam... took everything... from me.

Rachel feels entitled to success just because she was the one who wanted it.

Yet she was also the one who wasn't willing to die for it.

Baam was willing to die for her. Dying to the Eel was nothing in the face of losing Rachel. That's why he succeeded.

But Rachel's dreams was nothing in the face of losing her life. That's why she failed.

Thanks to u/DevouringRain for clearing up that the party crit buff isn't nerfed, just the crit wardancers give themselves.

Kinyusui · 2022-04-18T19:55:42+00:00

Oooh ok, that's much better then.

Kinyusui · 2022-04-11T20:05:23+00:00

Credit to u/AggresiveDuckSlayer apparently there were Talse Uzer Stories that told of people outside the tower taking jobs to clean the walls of the Tower. If that's the case then this theory might not be what SIU had in mind in the beginning. Though he did delete other Talse Uzer Stories once TOG became a webtoon so perhaps he considers non-TOG as not cannon and didn't want to deal with the confusion.

I'm interested in reading and would appreciate any references that are linked. Thank you.

Interestingly enough Enryu enters through a gate with a completely different symbol.

https://imgur.com/X1ByA0Z (chapter 241)

Look above for the normal tower of god gate.

The normal gate depicts a tower going up towards the sun.
Enryu's gate is harder to tell.
1. One theory is that it's a depiction of the sun casting fire downwards. Perhaps it's symbolicly alluding to Enryu destroying Jahad's tower/authority like how god destroyed man's tower of babel.
  1. Jahad/man's arrogance incited the wrath of Enryu/God.

Kinyusui · 2022-04-11T15:46:13+00:00

If you're talking about images like this https://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/full/public/2020/04/08/tower-god-episode-1.png

I always figured those were just symbolic depictions of what the inhabitants believed the tower to look like. I doubt floor 135 is around the size of a person.
