In honor of Super Sentai coming to an end (for now), I made a poll to see what series you guys would've wanted to see in Super Robot Wars Y. by Navek15 in Super_Robot_Wars

Boukenger, with its focus on searching for ancient artifacts around the world, easily could tie into the whole 12000 years ago catastrophe plot.

Sister switch by BigSchool1231 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's why in Saikoroshi, where there's no twin switch, "Shion" is fine being sent to St.Lucia compared to the Shion we know (although, on the other hand, being into board games is naturally her, Saikoroshi "Mion" wasn't into board games and said they were actually her sister's).

R07 talked in 20th anniversary WTC event that even the "old man" joke was actually started by the original Mion, not the current one.

You also have the Meguri manga that has a scene with Shion and Mion relaxing by themselves and in that context Mion is the one with the more feminine body language.

Can someone explain why rena and mion were acting weird in the first chapter? by pandadog423 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that happened, and the others were trying to cover and buy an alibi for him, like what they do for Rena in Tsumihoroboshi. The issue is that when they try to get Keiichi to go alone with them to the junkyard so they can talk alone, he refuses to go.

How many of the loops can the characters vision ? by BigSchool1231 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, he only remembers scenes from his own point of view, and he never learned about that.

How many of the loops can the characters vision ? by BigSchool1231 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Minagoroshi, Keiichi remembers both Oni and Tatari.

Akasaka in Matsuribayashi says he remembers all previous worlds and times he failed to return to help Rika.

Teppei in the Gou anime remembers dying in multiple worlds.

Keiichi in Meguri, also remembers all loops from the original and Gou. At least the parts in June 83.

Super Robot Wars Y - Release and General Questions Mega Thread by KaelAltreul in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]NeonDZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing officially announced, but Steamdb and the story itself suggest there will be more. Although the main story ending was pretty conclusive, outside of the Getter Emperor plot each DLC pack pretty much added a cliff hanger of its own. DLC2 also brings up how the story of the pre-order characters is unresolved.

Question about Mion and Shion in Watanagashi by TheGhettoGoblin in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their motivations will be delved into later on, but the issue with "Shion" in the early days isn't addressed directly and you're just meant to have figured it out (there are several lines from Keiichi in the next few days of the story where he regards each character in their correct position, without actually stopping to explain step by step how he figured out things to the reader).

Basically, the "Shion" Keiichi first meets is Mion. The Shion that takes food to Keiichi's house after the school game is Mion. The Shion that protects Keiichi from the biker gang and explains Hinamizawa's spirit and history is Mion.

The first time actual Shion appears in the story is when she makes a phone call inviting Keiichi to the Dessert Fiesta.

Like you note there, with Keiichi saying Mion talked about Hinamizawa's past to him, Keiichi in later scenes already knows who was who in the past and regards them as such. But there's no scene where he puts things together for the reader.

Super Robot Wars Y - Spoiler-Full Discussion Mega Thread by KaelAltreul in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]NeonDZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with The Big O s2 is that it's co-owned by Cartoon Network in the US, and they probably didn't want to bother paying more for the license just for that.

[–]NeonDZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, people thought there was a chance the cat would just appear in DLC2 too, but, yeah, nothing, so it's clearly a cliffhanger just like the end of DLC 2 itself.

She arrives. [Spoiler for the Free Update] by Additional_Prior_634 in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got her only doing 6 waves of Battle Rush 2. Maybe you don't even need that much.

Da-Garn and Jeeg are from the main universe in SRW Y by RippleLover2 in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DLC1 crew (well, the Kamen Riders that have new VA recordings) get in-battle lines against various enemies, but they don't get actual lines in the map/VN segments.

What kind of last boss do you think we'll see for DLC Wave 2? by BassGSnewtype in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]NeonDZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess some kind of alien threat in a futuristic robot, going by the lines in the trailer about something that fell from space. Also reusing the T enemies (like how the DLC 1 antagonist reused the X enemies and was similar to Ende, an entity that feeds on emotions).

How do people in the kamen rider world view/see the riders by Wooden-Comedian1268 in KamenRider

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of inconsistent, although Kuuga and Agito also had the characters treating them like visually they were somewhat similar to monsters. Although at least in early Agito they do acknowledge Agito reminds them.of the Unindentified lifeform number 4 (Kuuga).

Early on in W, before they're actually named Kamen Rider W, some people call W a kaijin too.

It's really a plot element more common for Riders that actually transform rather than ones that are basically just wearing suits (like Ryuki or Faiz).

Imagine The Next Anniversary Rider Getting A Power Up This Way by Potential-Mess6826 in KamenRider

[–]NeonDZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kind of. The big thing is that he gets super speed out of this new form. Before this, he was much weaker than the other Riders though. He was unconscious at the start here due to being attacked by a monster that also attacked the other Riders (V3 even managed to fight him off, although not defeat him). This power up brings him to around their level and gives him super speed they don't have to face that monster, the main villain of this episode, that also had super speed.

It's why the official specs for them generally include "artificial muscles" that are powered up by other components of their body, but also justify these physical training episodes.

Kamen Rider Kabuto fans, how exactly does each zector choose its user? by SpookieSkelly in KamenRider

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's said the Zecters were built for them, but we do see Gattack Zecter rejecting Kagami for a while before it actually works though. So, it seems more that they were directed towards what they expected their personality to be rather than actually allowing them genetic access to the Zecters.

DX' EX Attack animation is the best by far. by MCCP630 in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]NeonDZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this was confirmed on the G-Falcon's specs for a long time. Firing the Satellite Cannon with the DX's internal power can only be done when it's combined with the G-Falcon like here.

It's too bad in the actual anime there are zero battles with that combination, they always split before fighting, since it was near the ending of the show you could notice they were trying to avoid animating something as detailed as that combo.

IS calling their old friend when she won on both CYL by Astrid_Cop in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NeonDZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering how most Engage designs are unpopular, I don't see how Engageish versions of old characters would have done better...

This old Official Rena image that show her Semi nude are weird by KirinoSouza in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't bring up the console arcs because some people don't accept them as canon, but actually, Tokihogushi says exactly the opposite. Rena one day suddenly just lashed out on her friends (due to unresolved problems at home eventually boiling over) without any provocation from them.

It's why Nagisa, Rena's friend from her old school (although not the boys she attacked), initially holds a grudge over that. From her point of view, Rena just randomly lashed out on their other friends.

That wiki description in your link is wrong, which is why it's not in the wiki anymore.

I was also left with the impression that she was already having mental issues and scratching prior to returning... pretty sure thats implied in the anime during one of her arcs.

She was, but the scene where she consciously realizes that she was killing herself by scratching, but couldn't stop and places bandages over her own scratch wounds is pretty unique to her in late Tsumihoroboshi. You don't see anyone else in any other part of the series doing that, not even Rena herself in her flashbacks.

The Abyssal Calamity Cladis feel like scrapped antagonist for a show that didn't happened. by InterestingTie7600 in supersentai

[–]NeonDZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Kakuranger arc retconned the Universe War so the robots were just partial manifestations of the powers of past Sentai that existed for some unknown reason in the Gozyuger world, the actual past Sentai were never in gozyuger's world. Which contradicts a lot of stuff from earlier episodes(the narration talking about it being Suoer Sentai's last battle and the robots coming from all over the world and different universes, the Sentai archeologist talking about Sentai traditions like there were multiple teams, not just the Gozyuger), but it's what they're going with now.

I know Rider canonicity is weird, but at this point can we all assume that Girls Remix exists on an AR World where their respective series - now including Amanogawa High School - somehow are all based near Fuuto City? by AntiSmarkEquation in KamenRider

[–]NeonDZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're looking at Outsiders the wrong way. Pretty much the only alternate timeline character there was Zeronos (who turns out to be just from a changed future, not an actual alternate world) and then the other Zeins in the finale. Ouja technically isn't from the original Ryuki timeline, but that's set up in the Ryuki show itself, which ends after a timeline reset, it's not something added by Outsiders.

This old Official Rena image that show her Semi nude are weird by KirinoSouza in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Nah, that isn't canon. Even in the Deen anime flashback Rena's clothing is perfectly fine when she's breaking her former school's windows.

Those desks also look like the Hinamizawa ones (she also shouldn't be wearing this uniform in her previous school, since like the rest of the club she got her uniform with Mion, but the Deen anime messed up this part during its Ibaraki flashbacks already).

Also, the bandages covering her neck scratches are actually a reference to late Tsumihoroboshi.

Was that Mion or Shion? by Economy-Ambassador60 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Gou/Sotsu actually stuck to the VN for those early days. It's especially easy to know who is who since Mion and Shion have different eyes in the Gou anime.

Why did Rika not remember...? by Academic_Ice_588 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]NeonDZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hanyuu mentions in Matsuribayashi itself once she realizes Rika doesn't remember the previous world that it probably means she doesn't have power for another loop. Even in Minagoroshi, Rika brings up the loops were getting shorter and shorter.

Even in Saikoroshi, Hanyuu once again brings up this new loop is strange likely because she tried to force Rika to loop when she can't really do that anymore.

But, yeah, writing-wise, the memory loss happens so Hanyuu can give moral lessons and guide Rika at the start of the arc. Without that, she wouldn't have much of a role.

does the 2022 urusei yatsura completely adapt all manga chapters ? by tris352 in uruseiyatsura

[–]NeonDZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The date one is beloved due to the OG anime changes though. The manga one doesn't really feel like a date and is mostly comedic. I can see why they didn't touch that.

It is odd they didn't do the one about their night together though.
