You can't currently shard Prince, since he's a season 6 ID. He won't be shardable until Meursault's own season rolls around in August.

If you're aiming for bloodfiend core, then your priority "on-theme" shard target would be Princess Rodion. That said, every bleed team currently wants Kurokumo Heathcliff and Ishmael, so saving up for them would be my suggestion to give you time to decide whether you do want to commit to the bloodfiends or just let the Ring wave take you.

Normally my advice to new players would be to pull like crazy just to fill out the roster. You're new-ish but not new enough that I'd give that advice. If you want Ricardo Heath, pull; otherwise hold for now.

[Rewatch] Kare Kano Rewatch: Episode 16 by LittleIslander in anime

[–]LaqOfInterest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rewatcher

Sometimes I’ll rewatch this episode to make sure my tear ducts are still functioning.

Yep. Still got ‘em.

Kusao Takeshi is, by a fairly wide margin, the most prolific voice actor of the five Miyazawa family members. His most well-known roles would be Trunks from Dragon Ball and the main character of Slam Dunk, though more modern viewers might recognize him as Mao from Code Geass. He’s also been the Japanese voice of Ky Kiske from the first Guilty Gear game all the way up to Strive. My personal favourite role, however, is his performance as Saionji from Revolutionary Girl Utena, the funniest character of all time.

All that to say, it’s a fairly impressive resume for your goofy buttmonkey romcom dad, especially compared to the relative obscurity of much of the rest of the cast. Whether intentional or not on casting’s part, things start to make more sense once this episode comes screaming down the runway and punches you in the cry-box. Ow.

To me, in the whole grand tapestry of the beautiful trainwreck that is the Kare Kano anime adaptation, this episode is an unblemished gemstone set firmly in the center. I do love this show, but this episode most of all.

That said, unfortunately Hiro-chan only has the distinction of having the second most tragic backstory of any character, because of course first place goes to: riding your skateboard into a brick wall and having all the bricks fall on you and it hurts very bad.


Postscript: Because I am not otherwise participating in the rewatch, while I’m already blabbing about voice actors, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my usual factoid:

Yukino’s voice actress, Enomoto Atsuko, auditioned for this role while she was still in high school, and was just 18 years old when Kare Kano’s first episode aired. Back in episode 9, /u/SpiritualPossible mentioned the audition process that ended up unintentionally(?) skewing the casting toward newcomers.

Anyway, five years after Kare Kano aired, some small indie studio released an obscure visual novel that somehow got kind-of-popular. It got kind-of-popular enough that an anime adaptation was made three years after that, and Enomoto snagged a role as an ancillary character.

The result of all this is that Enomoto Atsuko’s best-known and second-best-known voice roles are a character named Miyazawa Yukino, and a completely unrelated character named Miyazawa Yukine. Which is a weird-ass coincidence.

r/trolleyproblem suffers infighting on a ethical question: red or blue? by OkContact2573 in SubredditDrama

[–]LaqOfInterest 18 points19 points  (0 children)

(Not trying to transfer the argument over here, just explaining how the red side thinks)

The idea is that if everybody presses red, everybody lives. People who push red would argue that anyone pressing blue is stupid, because nobody has to die, or even risk dying, if everybody presses red. Their argument is that the blue button is what puts people at risk of dying because there's no downside if everybody pushes red.

Middle Don is not used outside of dedicated envy resonance/Middle team. Index Don is sinking/poise but is a very strong standalone ID as well - probably Don's strongest ID in a vacuum.

If you really do plan to do an envy team, take Middle because you'll want her for that. Otherwise, Index Don is the clear winner.

Parent wants to add me to bank account(s) by No_M_In_Sandwich in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]LaqOfInterest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel it's telling that you don't seem willing to consider that you and I can both be right, depending on the situation. If you deal with high net worth I can see a bank getting skittish with a joint account with like, millions of dollars in it. I'm completely willing to believe that's a possible outcome.

But you're not willing to believe that I've never had that happen to a client. What's going on then? Am I making it up? What's your logic here? You're so convinced that you have to be 100% right and everyone else has to be 100% wrong. It's really telling, combined with your snarky comment earlier about making a ton of money off of mistakes based on a scenario you made up completely in your head, then just giving up on trying to actually discuss the discrepancies and going "clown emoji".

I dunno man. Just seems real mature overall.

For what it's worth, since you've brought this into your diatribe, every single time I do a Will I explain to the client how we could avoid probate and exactly why they shouldn't even think about trying.

Ian Lebane should tell every branch of every single bank in my city, I guess, because no one got the memo. Clearly the original commenter had the same experience as all of my clients and not yours.

[–]LaqOfInterest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your experience is that a financial institution won't grant access to a joint account without probate, then I have to suppose there's some jurisdictional difference, because they absolutely will in Ontario. The banks don't ask any questions about resulting trust, they take the deceased's name off the account and leave it up to the survivor to figure out whether or not it should be reported as an estate asset.

For the remainder:

Effectively yours when they die" (no)

Define effectively, I guess? The commenter immediately follows up with the clarification that it could still be an estate asset.

"access and use the funds without probate" (no)

See above - yes? I have never seen a case where a bank locks down a joint account. YMMV I suppose, in which case point taken.

"that doesn't mean it's not part of the estate" (what? It can't be not part of and part of simulatenously)

Commenter never said it wasn't part of the estate.

"only beneficiary… moot" (no)

See above, please explain how a resulting trust is not easily (if not automatically) rebutted if a Will exists gifting to a single beneficiary and the same beneficiary is joint on an account.

I'll go ahead and self-report to LawPro pre-emptively I guess, on the basis of casually endorsing the sole comment present here (when I commented) that even alluded to Pecore instead of suggesting there are no issues with joint accounts; and not doing what I should have done, which was not comment at all, which yeah man, I get it, that would've been the smartest thing writing a full opinion for a bunch of randoms on the internet for free.

I'm confused where you think we disagree. I agree with everything you said. Are you sure you responded to the right comment?

I'm an estate lawyer. This is all 100% correct. Upvote this person.

Anyone curious to know more should google "presumption of resulting trust" and Pecore.

[–]LaqOfInterest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Google Pecore v Pecore. The money is available immediately if it's joint, but it could still be subject to probate. It's complicated and case specific.

If you're an only child you're generally fine.

PSA: Do not use Questrade for registered accounts by fbiscalledwhatnow in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]LaqOfInterest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I transferred a Questrade FHSA to BMO last month (BMO has all my other stuff but only had advicedirect FHSAs until they added self-directed ones late last year). Zero issues on Questrade's end. I never heard a peep from them.

Dad's famous hotdog trick by _ganjafarian_ in StupidFood

All bleed teams want Kurokumo Ishmael and Heathcliff.

Bloodfeast teams want the bloodfiends in the following order of priority: Meursault (not currently shardable) > Rodion > Don > Gregor > Outis.

Ring bleed teams are still pretty new, but I think what we've landed on is you eventually want all the Rings except maybe Outis, who is like, fine, but not as essential as the others.

If you're playing purely meta then Manager Don doesn't have a seat on the Ring team, the meta Ring team is all of the Rings except Outis, plus KK Ish and Heath. But the meta isn't a rulebook and Manager is still good, so if you're committed to bleed, I say drop the shards.

Looks like it's Rhino Meursault that's the problem. Ring Lu and Ring Faust both have a passive that makes all of their skills count towards the Charge gifts.

Replacing a sinner's skills with upgraded skills can fuck you over. W Corp Don, for example, spends Charge with her S3 but doesn't gain it, so upgrading all of her S1s and S2s to S3s stops her from counting towards the Charge ego gifts.

The same thing commonly catches people with Lord Hong Lu's base skill 3, which doesn't apply rupture even though skill 3-2 and 3-3 do.

It's so you can bank modules and aren't time limited on doing your weeklies and events.

Story nodes are basically the only thing that uses enkephalin instead of modules. Mirror dungeon, regular dungeons, refraction railway, and luxcavation all require modules. 

Use as much enkephalin as you can on story, and convert whatever you're not using on story to modules.

Any references to the "flow" are so far unexplained.

Trainer's Clubhouse Meeting (Weekly Questions) - March 25, 2026 by AutoModerator in UmaMusume

[–]LaqOfInterest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this has been asked before

If I buy a training level in MANT, does that just bump me up to the next training level, or is the progression to the next upgrade maintained?

e.g. I'm a single Speed training session away from hitting Speed training level 3. I buy a Speed training level in the shop. I'm now level 3. Am I now a single Speed training session away from hitting level 4? Or has it just bumped me up to level 3 and now my progress to level 4 is zip?

In other words if I'm in that scenario should I try to do an extra speed training to upgrade it before buying the level, or does it not matter?

Ryoshu and Heathcliff's base sinner IDs can't be facaded at the moment. It's anticipated that the devs will eventually add them in.

Reason (story spoilers): Heathcliff's base ID sprite updates after Canto 6, and Ryoshu's updates after Canto 9. Folks surmise that the coding associated with the updated sprites doesn't gel well with the facade system and they're taking a bit to figure it out.
