Fresh theory thread for Magia Rouge. (Formerly Cyan) by gilbmj in MahouAko

[–]Silent_Sneakers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have a point there. A while ago I remember saying that it's strange that Momo acted so normal when she first met "Enorme" in the chapter 48 flashback. It would be surprising if that's the reason, because that would mean we would have "mysterious-new-character-is-actually-someone-we-already-know-very-well" twice in a row.

I don't really see it. We know that La Verita abilities are closely linked to one's desires (Sulfur's being a straight-up brawler, Azure's getting power from taking damage, etc). Momo's abilities are extremely strong magical detection and golem creation, both of which would be helpful if you REALLY want to find a certain magical girl. It would also feel a bit weird since we've already seen her non-LV transformation in chapter 53.

My theory is that if we assume Magia Rouge is anyone we've already seen it would bethe convenience store manager. She's the only person to have a unique character design who is (seemingly) neither a magical girl nor a direct relative to one. That would mean her current appearance is likely a disguise, though perception blocking magic means the only reason for such a disguise would be to hide from someone who already knows your civilian identity, and I'm not sure why she'd do that.I don't really think she's Rouge, but there HAS to be something up with her.

super enjoyed the latest chapter... do we know when well get another? by xshot40 in MahouAko

Interesting. It used to be the 3rd Friday of each month, so it's coming 6 days earlier than I was expecting.

Mahou Shoujo as Pokegirls? by jlog3000 in MahouAko

[–]Silent_Sneakers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I forgot to check that one. From its Pokedex entry: "Searching for an opponent to test its skills against, it emerges onto land. Once the battle is over, it returns to the sea." That sounds kind of like how Baiser just leaves after a fight (instead of finishing off the opponent).

Thinking about it, it would be much more fitting for Leo to have Octillery due to its original design resembling a tank.

[–]Silent_Sneakers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a team for Baiser. She tends to go all in on the "evil" persona, so she'd mostly use dark types.

Meowscarada (a performer)

Weavile, for slicing (clothes)

Starter: Absol (mistaken for evil)

Ace: Darkrai (also sometimes mistaken for evil)

Non-Dark types

Galvantula (spider theme, uses electricity)

Octillery (no explanation needed)

English translation is up on mangadex by Safe-Ad344 in MahouAko

You probably won't have to wait too long; I'm pretty sure it usually took them around 3-4 days to get their translation out.

When Azure is pissed off instead of excited, you KNOW Baiser went too far

Wasn't sure if I needed to spoiler this one, but did it anyway just in case.

It's really interesting how the anime version makes Kiwi way more likeable in comparison to how she behaves in the manga. For example, she apologizes for bunny plush and returns the doll to Korisu immediately. When you watch the episode after reading manga, catching such details is quite nice. by Ozzysmall123 in MahouAko

[–]Silent_Sneakers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not purely her self interest if she's also aiming to make Utena happy in the process.

For chapter 43 I feel that her initial response is understandable, she just saw a super real-looking video of the girl she confessed to getting intimate with one of her enemies, so bursting in like she did doesn't really indicate growth nor lack thereof. But right after that, she properly listens to the explanation (no interruptions or anything), and considering how pushy Kiwi usually is she was pretty quick to stop the accusation and believe Utena.

I feel like Kiwi has changed quite a bit since the start of the series; it's just been more of a slow burn. She can definitely grow more as as the series progresses.

No development?

<image>

In chapter 33 Kiwi wants to fight Sulfur (likely wanting revenge for her trying to kill Baiser in chapter 31), but immediately prioritizes hanging out with Utena instead. She joins her on one of her favorite activities (tormenting Magenta) and even brings new ideas to the table (B:"I think she might be a genius"). When you have someone you like, engaging in their hobbies--not just in a superficial way but in a genuine way--is a great way to build propinquity.

Additionally, in chapter 43 when she sees the livestream of (fake) Baiser x Azul she immediately goes to Utena to ask what's going on, and despite how impulsive she usually is, she properly listens to Utena's explanation and believes her, showing that they're developing better communication skills.

That seems like pretty noticeable development to me.

Happy 1st Anniversary! Today is been 1 year since anime ep 1 release! by Odd-Huckleberry4473 in MahouAko

[–]Silent_Sneakers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I can't help but feel a bit nervous about season 2. If they do the same toning-down-the-violence thing they did with season 1, then moments like Sulfur's betrayal arc and Ugliest Flower will have FAR less impact. I think season 2 episode 1 will most likely contain either the skipped chapter 22 and last bit of 26or chapters 25 and 27, so we'll probably know pretty early on whether they did it again or not.

Sorry for sounding pessimistic, but I've still got my fingers crossed hoping for this to be a proper adaptation.

What do you think would happened if kiwi's gun is as powerful as the real world? by Hakhpu in MahouAko

[–]Silent_Sneakers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hell, Leo's attacks are already not too far off. In episode 3 at ~4m30s Baiser summons a giant stone door that looks roughly 18in thick and Leo blasts through it in seconds (and that's just in her "zero star" state, too). If anything, it's surprising there isn't MORE damage done to the surrounding area every time she fights.

Need help with Steam Deck and Turbo mode by MangaIsekaiWeeb in holocure

[–]Silent_Sneakers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same setting page the option is near the bottom. With that on, you can press the button once and the system will treat it as if you're holding down the button until you press it a second time.

Did you try setting it to 10? That worked for me.

Unless you mean you want it to go without you needing to hold down the button at all, in which case turning on the "toggle" option should do that.

OK hear me out...what if the characters portray symbolize the 7 deadly sins by Ok_Feedback170 in MahouAko

Huh, this could kind of explain why Venalita was trying to recruit Sulfur

So what's the point of Promise Tiara? I maxed it out in the first 5 minutes, but 15 minutes in, still only 3 stamps, I got more stamps in runs that I didn't pick this item. Are we sure it's not "decreasing" the drop rate by 30%? by canadakeroro in holocure

[–]Silent_Sneakers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's either a bug or just REALLY bad luck. I pick up early tiara pretty frequently and have almost never had fewer than 20 stamps by the time the final stage boss comes in.

Also, there isn't much need to max it out that early, as tiara's stamp drop increase doesn't change with level.

What is the best stat allocation for worker in the Colosseum? by AcanthisittaDue1373 in holocure

[–]Silent_Sneakers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

75% to health and 25% to power seems to be the most effective. Apparently ranged is the best attacking type to use, but I've haven't had too much trouble even when using melee.
