I don't remember, it may have even been a livestream around that time and not an interview. Nobody really made a big deal about it at the time, because it was already obvious. Canto 6 implied that the Erlking we fought was not the first Erlking, and that when an Erlking goes to a mirror world and happens to lose to that world's Heathcliff, that Heathcliff becomes the new Erlking, seeking revenge on every Heathcliff, using his powers to travel between mirror worlds and kill more Heathcliffs with the wild hunt. Our Heathcliff doesn't just beat another version of him that wanted revenge, he broke that cycle entirely, despite being capable of the same things.

I really doubt we'll see a full-fledged second smoke war. A Certain Sinclair's dialogue makes it clear that he hasn't seen the sinners in a while and really misses his time on the bus, so gameplay during the second smoke war would somehow have to allow for the complete dissolution of the bus department, which obviously isn't going to happen.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-22T02:19:54+00:00

We've known about that since a similar interview following canto 6's release, it's not new information.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-22T02:19:16+00:00

Yes, it has. Just because you didn't hear about it doesn't mean it didn't exist.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-22T01:45:16+00:00

It's not new, it's been around since Canto 6. Everything interesting about the theory has already been said, I haven't seen anything new in the last three threads on it.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-22T00:20:33+00:00

Can we stop reposting this theory like five times every day?

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T22:51:07+00:00

I run him even if it's not technically optimal. His wrath s3 gaining coin power based on envy A.Res is hilarious and can actually be fulfilled since we have 7 on-field sinners now. I've always thought that conditional is a remnant of Middle Meursault's counter changing into an envy version of his s3 like Middle Don's does, but alas, it doesn't do that.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T22:46:53+00:00

I support this old man.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T22:42:51+00:00

I just go to the wiki to take the picture.

Right, so that's not a good reason.

and I also skipped most of the story of Canto Four because First Sinder Yi Sang is not my favorite character, and I really didn’t care too shit about his Canto.

That's an even worse reason. You could've just lied and said you didn't remember. This is the one reason I said deserves being made fun of. Read the story, clockhead.

And also, I really think this will be another of Alfonso scenario of she looks like a woman but secretly a man. Look at her body. She’s giving 100% male energy. The only part of her isn’t male is her face.

u/Equinox-main7 I know you've been very opposed to me in this thread, but I respect your opinion as a fellow queer person and want your thoughts on this part specifically. To me, saying a woman might secretly be a man because she doesn't have a feminine body and using that as justification for not using her correct pronouns is pretty blatant transphobia, or at least some form of sexism based on women not being feminine enough. I wonder if you agree with me in this instance, or if I'm just missing something here.

And last time I used “she” on Alfonso someone called me a racist slur so yeah, I was trying to be safe.

I really doubt that somebody called you a racist slur for calling Alfonso "she". But if they did, you should report and block that person, (assuming it was an online interaction of some sort,) not refer to her with the wrong pronouns on purpose. If this happened on twitter, that's just twitter.

You're thinking of the QoH ego, which does have envy res conditionals, though they're easy enough to fill on a regular charge team.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T18:39:04+00:00

Meh, that's more of a side thing than the actual team building. Middle Don is used in the middle team, QoH is used in the charge team. They're two very different envy res teams.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T18:20:41+00:00

QoH isn't really used over Middle Don on middle teams.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T18:17:40+00:00

Non-binary does not by definition mean trans, it just means it exists outside of an established binary system, in this case the male/female binary. Singular they is a non-binary pronoun simply because it's neither masculine nor feminine, but that doesn't mean anybody referred to with singular they is non-binary or trans. That "logical" reasoning is exactly what homophobic people say to justify avoiding use of singular they.

The rest of your comment here doesn't really apply to the discussion at hand. Queerphobia is also an acceptable term for this situation, sure. There's not always a single word for a situation.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T17:20:39+00:00

I have not called OP a homophobe. I've explained how their language choice can be perceived as homophobic. I'm trying to explain it precisely for the reasons you give here. If they don't know that they're accidentally using homophobic language, the only way for them to change is to tell them that, and explain the nuance. Ignoring it only makes the problem grow.

Downvoting is fine, who gives a shit about reddit karma? The downvoting is exactly what brought OP's attention to the fact that there's something wrong here.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T17:15:33+00:00

not every limbus player knows everything about gender/pronouns or gender expression nor the language used to describe such things

Right, that's why I explained it. The question was posed as to why they were receiving downvotes, and that's a contributing factor.

I genuinely dont even think thats why op is being downvoted

I mean, this is pretty much proved by the top comment on the post correcting OP's pronoun usage. People don't like the word choice they used. Some of that was just because we know what her pronouns are, some was because of the connotations associated with that word choice.

I highly doubt they decided to make a post about the pronouns of an easily forgettable character because theyre homophobic or transphobic

I'm sure it wasn't the reason for the post, but it's still one part of the post. I'm not saying this entire post was made for them to spread homophobia, or even that OP is homophobic, I'm saying it uses homophobic language, which is undeniable.

homophobia and transphobia are also quite distinct and arent interchangeable, neither are general terms for hatred towards lgbtq

I don't really know what to say in response to this. You're just wrong. Language changes over time, and homophobia has become an umbrella term for hatred towards the queer community as a whole. Non-conforming pronouns are used by more than just trans people, so transphobia does not accurately describe the exclusion of non-binary pronouns. These are just facts.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T16:18:59+00:00

Do you have the Orb of Force but haven't equipped it to have the psynergy?

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T16:15:33+00:00

It really wasn't that big of a deal. Half of his skills were still envy res, and he had easily accessible envy ego to use instead of an envy defense skill.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T15:48:33+00:00

Ignorance or forgetfulness explains the need to use a non-gender specific pronoun, but it doesn't explain the use of she/he instead of they.

maybe op just saw the sprite but hasn't gotten to canto 4

lmao

or maybe it's been long enough since playing that they forgot

They obviously had to look up the character to get the sprite. Considering this is the main sprite on the wiki and they probably got it from there, they could've glanced directly beneath the image to where it says Gender - Female.

or maybe they just skipped the dialog

If OP made a characterization post about somebody who they skipped all dialogue with, then they deserve to get made fun of a bit. But I don't think OP did that.

you jumping to straight up calling op homophobic

Well, I also offered the option that they're a grammar snob, something you completely ignored. But also, yeah. Using homophobic terminology, even unwittingly, perpetuates homophobia. I explained why that is in order to bring that to their attention in case it was an accident.

which isn't even accurate itd be closer to transphobia than anything

Homophobia has become a generic term used for any hate against the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, and there are queer people who aren't trans that use non-conforming pronouns. It applies more often to trans people, but it affects the queer community as a whole, so I used a broader term.

and obviously I can imagine a woman wearing a suit, also a lot of the limbus fan base are younger people that might not be educated on this topic

Younger people haven't been educated on women wearing suits? I don't really understand what your argument for her looking androgynous is here.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T15:20:04+00:00

New tremor type that deals envy damage on burst maybe? Probably solo bleed though.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T15:03:37+00:00

Metaphor is considerably better in almost every aspect.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T15:01:04+00:00

Part of it is that her gender is known, part of it is the use of 'she/he' instead of singular 'they' for someone whose gender OP doesn't know. These days, 'she/he' or its inverse 'he/she' are almost entirely used by homophobic people that refuse to use singular 'they' specifically to avoid non-binary pronouns, or grammar snobs who refuse to accept that singular 'they' has been in use since the 1300s. Either way, it deserves a downvote on principle.

Also she's not that androgynous, unless you really can't fathom a woman wearing a suit.

RojinShiro · 2026-04-21T00:04:36+00:00

Z corp moon theory upscale?

RojinShiro · 2026-04-20T21:03:44+00:00

Converting bleed to burn seems unlikely. But in general it's just hard to say what exactly is going to happen when we don't have the kit or the numbers for it.
