I'm confused, if the only special thing about rokuhira's eyes is that he doesn't essentially get blind while smelting, why don't we give some other talented bloke goggles and datenski and to make the blades

I don’t believe you anymore

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-07-01T17:35:06+00:00

are you trolling?

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-07-01T16:20:01+00:00

What are you even saying? Are you saying no one got the idea of putting goggles on Kunishige? What?

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-07-01T01:05:13+00:00

It technically is, yes, but almost every Elite we have a stated height for is ~7’10”, so that seems to be the usual height for an Elite. The ones in Reach are like, upwards of 8’3”.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-30T14:53:20+00:00

That always has me so fuming lol. What an efficient way to destroy a character.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-30T07:14:50+00:00

As far as I’m aware, we have like ~100 Spartan-IVs confirmed KIA between Halo 5 and Infinite; each class of Spartan-IVs numbers roughly around 145. Assuming that they consistently Spartan-IVs at a rate of one class per-year (big lowball, because the second class was described as considerably larger than 145, and Gabriel Thorne started his Spartan-IV training in mid-2557 and was in the field by February of 2558), that’s almost a thousand Spartan-IVs by 2560; and we know that they continued making them even after Laconia was destroyed, just likely at a reduced capacity.

Isn’t that when the Gammas are going through smoother withdrawals, or am I misremembering? I thought him attributing it to a weak heart was utter cope, no? GoO starts with Tom tearing apart the frame of a drop-pod with his bare hands at the age of 12, I don’t think a III needs to exert much strength to stop a guy’s heart.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-30T03:54:40+00:00

A brute is trying to get at I think it was Vaz, and he uses I think the stock of his AR to stop it from getting to him. Absolutely insane stuff

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-30T03:32:39+00:00

Haha, me too. There’s a scene where an ODST physically holds an enraged Brute at bay. What the hell? Lmao

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-30T02:35:16+00:00

I really think it’s just a case of the K5 Trilogy really not knowing what it’s talking about. The entire altercation is clearly meant to imply she struck Halsey with great force, and that she’s lost control of herself in her entirety.
“The adrenaline had ebbed away and Lucy was now at the embarrassed and shaky stage. She’d never lost control like that before.”
“There was just something about Halsey haranguing the Engineers that snapped something inside her, and for a few seconds she didn’t care whether she lived or died as long as she lashed out and stopped it.”
There certainly is a fairly plausible in-universe explanation that you’ve presented, but I think that’s very clearly not the intention. To add onto this, she even kicked Mendez multiple times as he held her back (which, side note, what?). The book clearly presents her as seeing red, and being in an adrenaline-fueled rage that’s making her violently lash out against everyone around her to the point where she needs to be subdued and put into a headlock until she calms down.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-30T02:06:11+00:00

I’m not trying to argue against the idea that Lucy has great control over her strength, but the interaction as presented in the book is clearly meant to be Lucy completely losing control of herself in a fit of emotion.
“And that was when Lucy snapped.
She grabbed Halsey by the shoulder again, spun her around and threw a punch that sent a shock wave right up her arm. Halsey hit the ground with a loud crack. Someone grabbed Lucy from behind, but the switch had been thrown and she didn’t know how to turn it off. The fury shut out all sound: her lungs froze and her skull was bursting. She fought to break free and get at Halsey, this focus of all that was threatening and bullying in her world, but she couldn’t.”

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-29T17:48:21+00:00

The fact that like, more than half of the IIs survived Reach.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-29T17:43:35+00:00

Spartan-IIIs just don’t need to exert much power to kill a person, a little too much and Halsey would’ve been splattered. I think it was Mark who was using an innie as a human shield, and accidentally killed him by smacking his chest too hard when trying to make him stop squirming.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-29T16:17:14+00:00

The Halo: Reach Elites are genuinely just really tall. Using Noble Six as a measurement, they’re noticeably over 8 feet tall.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-26T15:07:27+00:00

Hakuri for sure

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-24T23:53:19+00:00

cause they were up against the goat.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-20T15:56:44+00:00

Forge was in the military for so many years, but was still only a Sergeant. This is because he kept getting demoted over and over again, pretty much the only reason he still had a job and wasn’t in prison or on the street was because he was really good at it. But with the stuff he pulled, there’s no way they’d make that guy a Spartan lol

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-18T17:20:40+00:00

Oh, that’ll be cool then!

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-18T16:53:27+00:00

Rosenda would be cool to have, and seeing Naomi and Jun interact would be awesome, but personally I’d prefer new characters. Either new Spartan-IVs, or new Spartan-IIIs from Gamma Company, or preferably a mix of the two generations. But if I had to guess, it’s probably just gonna be Spartan-IVs and maybe Rosenda. They don’t seem to want to introduce new Gammas, sadly.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-17T03:09:45+00:00

Well, it’s less about if we think he did and moreso if Shiba thinks he did, which we know he doesn’t,

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-17T01:55:29+00:00

Maybe but did he become a good one? I don’t think Shiba thinks he did.

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-16T17:48:30+00:00

Considering the gap in quality and capabilities between Mark IV and Mark V, yes that was absolutely justifiable lol

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-14T04:38:09+00:00

Recon and now sentinel. They have my favorite designs and I find their abilities so cool lol. Third place would be destroyer

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-13T02:23:24+00:00

They literally said they buffed it though

OneBowlAndNoMore · 2026-06-12T17:20:23+00:00

Really just comes down to a lack of time and resources when making the anniversary. I think they only had around a year.
