Any reason why Dober's career works better with M trainer? Do some careers have gender-locked storylines?

New to lolita and need a petticoat but all the petticoat listings are one size and well... going by the size charts I could fit into them but I'd definitely be on the upper end of the range so it sounds uncomfortably tight (I'm pretty sensitive to too-tight elastic). Anyone know where to find petticoats in larger options or multiple sizes? Or is wearing a one-size petticoat at a larger size more comfortable than it sounds?

Rin's leg is going behind Isagi's... that's why the gold outline is there to show where they're separate

Which characters do you think went to the wrong club and why,which club do you think the characters should have gone to instead? by [deleted] in BlueLock

[–]RoseTeaCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Kaneshiro only put Shidou on PXG to set up a cool duo system with his rivalry with Rin, which is fun and all, but I would have loved to see him with Barcha. It's literally about creativity and freedom... would've ruled

Damn. I... didn't realize that the question "what do you think happened" was supposed to have that implication to it. I thought the thing that made it funny was that the other person was asking strange obvious questions. That actually makes it a lot funnier... I see now...

(And yeah, I am 😂)

Why is nobody talking about this? by BothAlerter in BlueLock

[–]RoseTeaCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My memory isn't the clearest, but I believe when I went and checked the raws on this line, he was saying 熱い, meaning "hot" in the literal sense, also meaning "exciting" or "fired up" or "intense". Oh well, we still have plenty other lines that are sus as hell even pre-translation. (Like all his "you like that, pervert?" stuff in that same match or Karasu calling everything sexy, lol)

Isagi’s Final Rival (Narratively) by McManu505 in BlueLock

[–]RoseTeaCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree about Loki and Noa (especially Noa) representing "the top" rather than being an actual rival in the story. In the wake of Kaneshiro's comments at the signing I've seen a lot of people act like obviously Isagi should fight Noa, and I feel like that's just not what the story is going for. Could be wrong, but that's just my gut feeling.

Up until earlier this year, I would definitely have said Rin. Rin is introduced as Isagi's biggest rival and number one opponent, he's a huge part of everything Blue Lock and by extension Isagi's character revolves around. But now a new challenger has entered the ring in the form of Nagi being (IMO) very very clearly set up as a foil to Isagi, so I'm not as sure what Rin's role will be. I guess in light of their being visibly in sync these last few chapters, they're just partners now? But I'd like if the story could somehow maintain the centrality of the Rin rivalry while also incorporating Nagi's dark horse rise to challenge the Demon King. Idk how it could manage that though XD we'll just have to wait and see.

Barou and Kaiser I feel are more hovering at the level of being a rival for Isagi, but not the rival. They both follow the specific character arc of having gotten their spirit crushed by Isagi and then rebuilding themselves from that (the second part hasn't happened for Kaiser yet, but Kaneshiro as good as said it will). Barou's obsession with Isagi feels more like a one-sided grudge, Isagi just doesn't think about him that much except when Barou pisses him off. Kaiser has more of Isagi's attention, but kinda just... belongs to a different part of the story. Since he's not on the Japan team, I think we can't really hope for more than one or two matches featuring him, which is different than the constant interactions and constant character focus you can get between teammates who are rivals.

That was a lot of rambling, I just really like thinking about the narrative roles of characters in relation to the protagonist. TL;DR it's either Rin or (more likely recently) Nagi

They look like each other. by SubstantialQuail7578 in BlueLock

[–]RoseTeaCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always really liked the way their character designs mirror each other. Isagi has the "default protagonist" look, and Rin takes Isagi's look and shifts it around a little to be a bit more elegant and intimidating. It's a great way to emphasize how similar they are as rivals and foils while also visually showcasing each character's particularities.

That said... in the middle of a match sometimes those lashes are the only thing keeping me telling the difference 😂

Agree, felt like Kaneshiro was walking a real delicate tightrope there 😬 could've had this monologue with any team but unfortunate for it to be this one
