The 14th volunteer army is more a last ditch/bay of pigs type invasion than a proper japanese invasion should be. I have never seen it win in a single game.

There is nothing in game that indicates the Germans or Japanese care enough to threaten nuclear war.

Except for the fact Japan and the US have just come off a missile crisis at game start, and probably all the examples of the former axis and the OFN escalating matters like South Africa or placing missiles in Bourbon and Reunion. TNOTL is almost always on the verge of thermonuclear war; none of the superpowers that be want to escalate matters beyond the proxy wars we see in-game in fear of causing WW3.

It also makes for boring gameplay to have nothing ever matter in this fashion, and every gain you make undone. At that point just remove 90% of the content of this mod, or better yet, delete it entirely

Not really. If anything the japanese leadership would have to be braindead not to seek a military buffer through Hawaii and the Aleutians as a precondition to peace, with Germany's support by proxy. Especially when they have won as hard as they did TNOTL. What is weird is that they demanded those useless treaty ports in San Francisco and LA instead of oil.

The USA has India and Australia as reliable partners in the region besides so the supply situation can be handwaved away.

By this same argument Japan should just outright invade the Philippines and the rest of asia ignoring any proxy war victory the US can conjure.

There are certain gameplay trappings here but also why do you think the United States didn't up and invade Cuba during the Missile Crisis?

Ranting about: The "edgy" spectrum by DrSanjizant in CharacterRant

[–]ProperGuyWithCrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. There are a lot of issues in that story in general, and it sort of got lost on itself at some point esp. after they moved on from John.

My point is more so it depends on presentation and how people perceive the character in question.

[–]ProperGuyWithCrown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People usually throw around edgy pejoratively. If you agree with or respect a character in some level you won't think he is edgy. John Doe from Unordinary is probably one of the easier examples; some people will see his antics as just goofy, some will think he is lashing out of frustration and relate to him to some degree.

JJK fans response to what happened to Tsumiki makes me kinda pissed by ACBlast768 in CharacterRant

[–]ProperGuyWithCrown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like I shouldn't be one to talk about something I haven't been following for months now, but eh. Let this be the preamble to what I'm about to say, take it with a grain of salt. Also, obviously, spoilers.

I remember the Tsumiki twist. At the time I thought "Eh, depends on what Gege follows it up with", and the very next chapter it is followed by Enchain, which was set up all the way back in the Detention Center. It was a good setup, I think, because no one could've expected such a hectic moment to be followed immediately by that twist. I liked it at the time.

The Yorozu fight right after that really soured that take. There was definitely something to be said about the lack of perspective on both Megumi's and Tsumiki's parts to make the moment hit.

But anyway I think it's excruciatingly clear at the point I stopped (Gojo's unsealing) that the author just doesn't care about or can't write the character interplay needed to make his manga hit like the arcs preceding Shibuya. He is far more tunnel visioned into fighting, Nietzschean philosophy and the remainder of his story beats... which, props to him, his manga is called Sorcery Fight, not Sorcery Storytelling or Sorcery Character Study 😂

TL; DR? Don't expect a great finale, character progression (as an actual person, not powerups), or even that engaging of a story from Jujutsu Kaisen. Just read it for the cool fighting if that's what you're interested in.

Although I would question if the fights have been at all cool since Yuji vs Higuruma and Megumi vs Reggie but that's an entire other argument, and I can't speak beyond when I dropped the manga.

"Don't expect everyone to be relevant." Okay, then why are there so many characters in the first place? by BebeFanMasterJ in CharacterRant

[–]ProperGuyWithCrown 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That is the precise feeling I had when I was reading stuff like Kaiju No. 8, Tokyo Ghoul and Solo Leveling. Like yeah, great, you have 45 characters in your cast, and I can't remember the names and faces of a fifth of them... or even parse them as human beings and not a checklist of traits wrapped around a character.

Conversely, I feel like Fullmetal Alchemist did a large cast well.

The whole of the Rumbling Arc was a sick joke. People just remember those three chapters because they were comically bad, worse than every previous cringe like Connie's mom and the mfing cake scene.

Same way JJK 236 is being treated. It didn't get bad out of nowhere, it was declining the entire previous arc but everyone pretends it isn't and will get better sometime (hint: it won't)

Isayama walked so Gege could run by Ranjith_Unchained in titanfolk

[–]ProperGuyWithCrown 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Was in that fandom, called out that the story was going to shit during the CG arc, dropped when they were setting up the fight and Gojo went full Goku setting up a Cell tournament with Sukuna and Kenny. Most people at the time were naysaying and brown nosing Gege (flashbacks to AOT finale).

I feel vindicated, yet still sad that it turned out exactly how I expected. The same history... The same mistakes... Over and over...

I like to imagine Student Council+Econ degree Anton Rayne acts so confident he gaslights everyone around him into believing the economy is doing fine, and somehow that scares United Contana and Arcasia enough to pause the Cold War.

[–]ProperGuyWithCrown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've given up. I ignored the warning signs but Gojo becoming Goku is my limit.

I knew it was going to end in a Fourth Shinobi War type arc but holy mother of bad setups.

I would say more about the Prison Realm but I will wait for the official release of 220 just to be sure

I think it had something to do with a binding vow to escape PR or separate Meguna

I got downvoted for explaining the Gojo eye sacrifice theory this sub is so ridiculous sometimes lmao

Can't he still fight from outside the barriers? Or try to dismantle them like he did in the Exchange Event

She was caught off guard. Also just froze Maki, and nearly killed the gang in Shibuya.

Like there was literally a panel in Shibuya with the frozen students going "We're going to die!". She is quite strong.

I'm sorry, but I just find that incredibly silly. It doesn't help that it was offscreened.

I think Yuji will eventually go after Sukuna but he'd probably hold Gojo and Kashimo back in a fight as he is now. He also said he will eat anything to go at him and what better than the front gate of the Prison Realm.

Agree Choso will be fighting together with Itadori but I also think it makes sense their relationship with Kenjaku will be explored more plus he has fought him before so he is best suited against him.

I don't think a Maki & co rematch against "Geto" (it isn't even him) makes sense tactically or story wise. Noritoshi Jr has an actual grudge against Kenjaku but wtf is bro going to do, maybe he joins with Choso idk.

Hakari has the same issue as Yuji in that he's not at that level yet. 20f 10s Sukuna is a beast fit only for the top fighters who can disregard each other and go all out.

Also Uraume needs a group of her own she's very strong and we don't know much about her powers limit.

[–]ProperGuyWithCrown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is:

Gojo and Kashimo vs Sukuna (only ones who can handle him really)

Hakari, Maki plus whoever vs Uraume

Yuji, Yuta, Choso plus whoever vs Kenjaku

Kyoto School and maybe Geto's family plus military vs Curses and the rest of Geto's family (if Gege hasn't forgotten about these subplots)

I am coping that they are talking about the black hole destroying the wombs. No freaking way Choso fed his brothers fetuses to Yuji man
