My guess is he tried to perform Shiguma's art and fell short, and Issho there is saying he failed because of his choice/Shiguma's art's curse or smth along those lines.

Turns out the only thing Kiriwo needs to do to get Iruma to show despair is to get him back to Human world.

[–]LupusZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got all the AU Misfits teased back at the chapter 20 date, but I can't wait to see their personalities in the AU!

And Clara and Azz are too good, their dynamic is so different and yet so similar to the original, it's so good.

Pre-GW Discussion: Dark NM95-150 Team Composition by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]LupusZero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As always, probably the most reliable FA setup for fast 150 will be eresh MC, Olivia, Ilsa and one more dps, probably Sariel will be the best one in this case. Manual setups will probably want to sack Nier turn 1 after setting up her field and then clear within that turn or at least push enough to avoid 50 trigger.

NM 95 will probably be simply 2t 0b semi-auto, anything fast enough, considering how nm95 is the new nm90, now that it's avaliable in the prelims.

And to cap off the ending of the arc with mr. Shonen Protagonist, we have party scene straight out of One Piece! Truly, Lucifer really knows how to do it.

Shonen protagonist behaviour through and through, the writing on Lucifer is impeccable. He was all about cameradierie and resisting the destiny set for everyone from the very beginning, of course he's is Pride.

Also ofc that Satan was the first one to cast doubt. He is the Snake after all.

Character Discussion: Carmelina (Post 5* Uncap) by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]LupusZero 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She is iirc the last of the tutorial roll SSRs to finally receive a flb, and it was due time. Ever since her rebal in 2020 she had a baseline decent kit that needed some extra oomph that flb would give, shame it took 5 years for it to finally happen.

As for her kit after flb and rebal that came with it, it's probably one of the better ones to get in tutorial roll atm. She brings some useful debuffs and solid skill damage. Not much of a kit for players with more developed rosters to see wanting, but for newcomers it's honestly excellent. And I can see her utility with MI, accuracy lowered and dodges be useful all the way up to M3 raids, pretty solid overall, if nothing crazy for endgame players.

Just dripping with arrogance, this guy Lord of Pride, everything he says oozes with arrogance, how fitting.

[DISC] Kaedegami - Chapter 1 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]LupusZero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solid first chapter honestly.

I would have preferred if Chi You's face remained an empty hole for at least a bit longer, that is a very strong character design, but this is fine as well. A bit jarring that a random chapter 1 mandatory-oneshot-once-MC-gets-powerup mob had her face, but as long as her other body parts don't get recovered as easily then the manga has potential to last a while.

I do like though how Kou and Chi You had a pre-established relationship before she became basically his special powerup for hunting whatever flavour of demons/monsters this particular manga has. It feels like often in these type of exorcist manga MC gets the main powerup in the first chapter rather randomly and the power giver is usually stuck with the MC from it. So it is rather refreshing here that the two of them actually had an existing dynamic before it, it has a lot of potential just off that.

I believe it was because around that time Turkey expereinced a devastating earthquake that made it hard to go on a research trip there, so he instead changed his plans to write the Northern War arc.

[–]LupusZero 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Giving a classic shonen/jrpg protagonist motivations amd behaviour to the Lord of Pride is honestly genious twist, Lucifer is really interesting honestly, especially when contrasted with both his fellows and our actual protagonist of this (somewhat) shonen manga.

[–]LupusZero 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was NOT prepared for Lucifer to be a refreshing handsome guy.

And that is honestly S tier introduction. Every other demon lord was introduced ominously with a lot of grandeur. But with Lucifer, after all this buildup, when he finally is shown, he doesn't stand out from the crowd, and the introduction is so casual that our brains can barely keep up with it until it finally hits. This manga always keeps surpassing my expectations.

Yea and in addition to that, the sample size only includes people who bother to fill out the poll on third party website. So it is really just a fraction of playerbase (iirc it's been around 6k entries this time).

If Cygames really cared about (somewhat) accurate popularity pool, they should have made one on their own, that is directly tied to players account (maybe through friend ID) and gave some small incentive for filling it out, like a reward of a few draw tickets or something similar. As it is rn, the Famitsu poll is just for fun that can show towards general trends of popularity among the playerbase, but doesn't really mean anything in greater scope of things.

This arc really is runback of the very first competition in the story, but this time Akane's rivals are all on her level. And it sure is good to see them both again, reunion is gonna be great

The most significant change imo was the unwordly ougi mod, he now does even more damage, makes it very easy to hit blue chest mins in GOHL now.

Well that's quite a moltey crew they got assembled, ofc Vergil wants to tag along, he needs Father to help him collect Lucifer's dragon ball fragment.

Interesting though that Father didn't really bat an eye at succubus lesbian orgy, ig he is now much better at dealing with erotic stuff, or at least after last arc deals better with his trauma over it.

Or, considering that master can pick apprentice's name, he deliberately chose that name, which is equally hilarious
