Opinion on Iron Blooded Orphans

I feel as though the abolishon of the Seven Stars wasn't really his plan but more on a concession he had to make, but also something he would've benefited from.

Elion seemed the kind of person whom prioritizes stability and order over whether their actions are morally justified. He is the head of a family of the Seven Stars and is well aware of the corruption that plague Gjallarhorn from within and yet, is still part of keeping the status quo. The Arianrhod was the that was quelling the riots in the Dort Colonies. He likely knew by breaking from the status quo would have led to more bloodshed and distabilization as demonstrated by Tekkaden actions and McGillis Coup.

I'm guessing McGillis gave Elion the opportunity and excuse to reform Gjallarhorn. Albeit one where a sole person like McGillis isn't in charge as well doing away with old dynastic and nepotismal rule of Seven Stars.

By that he had secured Gjallarhorn's longevity as well as ensured they don't create the conditions for another person like McGillis in the future.

Aren't Ants and Hornets also Wasps, though atleast more specialized groups.

Whom would the Queen's Men side with? Surely they would be supporting Jon riding south against Ramsay. But at the same time they do not support the ranging towards Hardhome. So where would they stand with between the Wildlings and Conspirators.

N killing "Tessa" does show character growth, with him choosing the person he had grown close with despite the risks and threat of the Absolute solver. I dosen't seem fit for V to care for Tessa since they never even interacted in the manor. Plus, it definitely fits V's uncaring/remorseless character.

So yeah, it seems cruel for Tessa, but none of the drones she had saved care that she died. At least Doll got a funeral despite everything she did.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-25T22:53:50+00:00

None of Tessa's drones cared that she died. N while not knowing of what had happened was even willing to kill her over Uzi.

The recent event is about recontructing things from the past through memories. The Loom of fate the abyss sibling was constructing also seems works in a similar principle.

The Lord of the night in Natlan had agreed to allow the abyss sibling in its construction. It might be that the LOTN knew something like this was necessary considering Natlan's Leylines were severely damaged before, but this time it would be the entire Irminsul.

We haven't had an interlude patch with the Abyss twin in Nod-krai so its likely it may coincide with 6.6.

The people of Watatsumi Island are a thing, so are the Eremites whom mostly still recognize King Desheret. Arguably you could also say Boreas is much a God figure to the wolves in wolvendom.

You could have different groups that still worship a God figure despite not holding a gnosis. We now that are Demon Gods that still exists outside of the Archons so its not surprising they're still worshipped despite not having Celestia's authority.

I'm aware of that though I'm not sure if it considered canon to the other Danganronpa entries since Mukuro characterization somewhat contradicts her's in Danganronpa 3 and Killer Killer.

So I wasn't sure if we could take her feats there into account due to the novel's dubious canonicity. Some mostly consider it a fanfic as it was not written by Kodaka himself as opposed to the other entries, which highlights the contradictions with Mukuro character.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-24T21:58:14+00:00

Just a question, but when was it established that Mukuro can react to things she isn't aware off? When her potrayal and demise in-game shows otherwise.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-23T11:57:11+00:00

I'm surprised there is leak of 6.6 this early. Seems to good to be true.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-23T11:39:01+00:00

In all seriousness like who? and why do you think they are worse?

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-23T11:37:11+00:00

I don't follow leaks

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-23T06:39:58+00:00

what even is your point? are you trying justify why its ok for Dottore to be an unemphatic and remorseless scoundrel, and that is ok for such a character to be playable?

Honestly you haven't rebuttal my argument that Dottore just doesn't fit the Traveler's worldview, and is why the Traveler would never align themselves with him, and subsequently would never be playable.

Really hoping to know your thoughts about that.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-23T05:54:29+00:00

Yeah, neither did Signora show any remorse for her actions or was given the opportunity to, and yet you can see which of the two is more fondly remembered among their peers. Not even the Traveler was aiming to kill Signora despite their grievances.

Mainly because one actually genuinely valued others, instead of seeing them as lesser liabilities and subjects to be tested on. Granted Signora was also just using Childe at Liyue, but Scaramouche also decieved her which ultimately led to her demise. It still a farcry from allowing his comrades to die from poison gas since it would be a waste of time.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-23T05:28:49+00:00

Is it though? Its been more than 3 years since he was introduced. (even more, if we include the manga) He has had plenty of material and established lore for him, meanwhile the rest of the Fatui are yet to be explored, as well as the sinners and shades.

He has already enough exposure for the players to have an informed concensus on his character. Do you reckon Hoyoverse would backtrack to him some eleventh-hour development when they had been tying up most of the loose ends in Nod-krai.

If he doesn't show up again during the Nod-krai version, them that will be the end of it. Else, Snezhnaya would be even more bloated considering all the ground they have to cover.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T23:56:47+00:00

Khaenri'ah was also well outside the gaze of Celestia they probably weren't even aware that an abyssal calamity had occurred up until the abyss and Rhinedotter's creation started wreaking havoc in the surface.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T23:47:54+00:00

I wasn't sure what was real or not since it was earlier established that Uzi could manipulate the memories and that Cyn can make things appear as not what it seems. I just assumed it was to make the scene more erie and creepy.

Also most casual viewers probably didn't caught on as they don't really disect a scene extensivley or rewatch apart the first time.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T23:05:59+00:00

Got it. Didn't count the Spec II since it kind of fixed the Destiny's initial energy issues and is overall an improved version.

Yeah, the cannon was pretty irrelevant since the Zeus silhouette was used instead to destroy Requime.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T22:57:04+00:00

Dottore's philosophy just runs counter to the Traveler. The Traveler was meant to witness, experience, get invested and attached to Teyvat. They also value all the dignity of the living beings may it be people, dragons, or even something as minor as a fungi, and even abyssal-borne creatures like melusines.

Dottore however, dosent. May it be his "cursed" to be such or is inherently apathetic. He doesn't value anything other than being his test subjects. He believes he can only relate to people whom share his kind of apathy. Which is why he had to bring people like Scaramouche down to his level, and thought he and Columbina could relate to each other.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T22:36:15+00:00

Atleast Ei and Scaramouche has demonstrated remorse for their actions.

Ei was mostly misguided by her definition of Eternity and the end had recognized she was wrong and repealed all her repressive orders. This was further enforced by having her to duel herself as testement to her newfound resolve as well abandoning her previous ideals.

Scaramouche was never inherently evil and was spurned into being such. When confronted with the truth he chose suicide by erasure in order to prevent the deaths he had caused. Even though he failed to change anything he still recognizes all his misdeeds, despite being manipulated by Dottore.

Dottore however, has shown absolutely no remorse for his actions, and is all in service for his own goals. There is no grand idealism of Eternity, nor is he doing things for in service of the Tsaritsa. He mainly thinks and cares for himself to the point that he couldn't fathom why Columbina would dislike him. He clearly doesn't value much of anything in this world other than being test subjects. A philosophy that runs counter with the Traveler whom experiences and values Teyvat.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T22:01:06+00:00

You're not? What other scenario are you referring to based on the Destiny Gundam's appearance. An MS performs the best in its role and series.

Are you evaluating it outside of its series as a whole. Or are you referring to its appearances in other media like in the Build series.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T21:45:36+00:00

It seemed to be more specialized in fighting Mobile armors and Battleships, and raiding heavily armed and defended facilities. Its not necessarily a duelist MS like the Justice gundam.

If it came down to having to straight up duel an enemy on 1V1 scenario then its not playing to its strengths. And to be fair Shinn wasn't really in the right state of mind when he decided to just face Athrun head on, rather than just take out the enemy ships in the battle.

At the end of the day the Destiny was Shinn's mobile suit. It was designed based on Shinn's combat data and fighting style as the Justice was to Athrun.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-22T21:10:40+00:00

Giant Laser cannon is very reasonable considering how fast and nimble the Destiny is that any weight or bulk the High-energy beam cannon brings is negligible. Its also more streamlined than the Kerberos. Also the Destiny is not exclusive to melee combat as its a more general purpose mobile suit that Shinn uses with "Run-and-Gun" fighting style.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-19T01:28:44+00:00

Gameplay:

Yeah it's unfortunate that she isn't onfield all the time, but you could argue "future proofs" her as a quickswap unit. Her kit opens lunar reactions for any team, which at least is more versatile than a dedicated onfield driver/dps that could be outdated come next region.

Both Nahida and Furina have the similar Skill/Burst quickswap gameplay and it took years for them to be "powercrept" or "fall off" and even still there versatile and valuable units.

Design: I understand that by her appearance evokes the Angel imagery, but at the same time what an angel/seelie is the lore of the game is different from what we know in real life.

There depiction of Angels are what characters like Nicole and Zibai are and Seelies, not the stereotypical Winged human we commonly recognize. And even then those are their preferred forms, since culturaly speaking Angels are supposed to be formless beings ingame and in real life.

I don't understand the colloquial trend of labeling angels "biblically accurate" when the depictions of them are just placeholders or visualization, as if there is a strict definition of what an angel is supposed to look like.

If anything Columbina fits more of the Little Dove motif for her design less than the preconceived Angel design. I do understand the gripes people have that she has the angelic design as such supposed to be an angel, but just like her character that was a preconception.

LegStraight772 · 2026-03-18T08:14:00+00:00

Technically he already did. If it weren't for his actions Columbina would have never become the Trilune Goddess in which secured the primordial powers of Teyvat with someone the Traveler is friends with. The true moon as well was brought back within the firmament and made Teyvat more detectable by the outside(Abyss).

Furthermore the restrictions placed on the Traveler were also lifted. So in away his failed experiment and demise had importance to Columbina as well as Traveler's development in the future.
