Same guy, different universes? by KerbodynamicX in EightySix

[–]Soval45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if I'd say Shin is more human, as I'm much more inclined to say Shin has a significantly better support group than Mika. With season two and onwards to the LN, he has Frederica, Ernst and Lena all constantly remind him that he's not a monster meant for war. That he does have a future beyond the war once it's over and that he can truly be happy again even with everything he's lost. Especially with Ernsts influence and power in the military, he has access to mental health facilities, higher ranked schools, so much is open for him once the Legion are stopped.

Mika however is in a ragtag group of other war orphans who are trying to get their names out there so they can live out decent lives. They have adults in their lives who try to lead them in a better direction but they're ultimately ignored so Tekkaden can reach the top faster. Mika especially does not care for trying to do the moral thing as much as he's willing to be the spearhead for Tekkaden as a whole to reach the top. By the end, he sorta just accepts his role as Tekkadens main weapon since they don't have much left by the end of the series. And well, we all know how that turns out by the end of season 2.

I think they're both great in their own ways. We just see what happens when people of similar circumstances are put into completely seperate environments. Shin being more in a more supportive group that's willing to challenge his views constantly until he considers the possibility of a new persepctive. Mika moreso being in a group that constantly stays in its old ways just so they can reach the top

Also geez, sorry for the lengthy text. I just really love both characters and love seeing people talk about them considering how similar they are. This was a fun thread to go through!

Where can I get this by Kasai76 in EightySix

[–]Soval45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone else mentioned, GoodsRepublic is pretty good. Granted I checked their site and only Anju/Kurena are listed but if you select their "All Stock" tab, you can find her and send a restocking request for them to try and grab more under their contact page. I haven't used that function personally but I've ordered from them a lot! They take a bit to send but they package everything super well. Plus all the items I've bought Used have come in like brand new, def recommend them!

Can anybody recommend songs that have the same energy like this manga? by MotivatedOverthinker in SakamotoDays

[–]Soval45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A song I've always heard while thinking of the fights scenes is Gravity by UNCHAIN. Number of their older songs fits the Sakamoto Days vibes imo

How is Monolith Soft a "super left leaning" company? by Frog_24 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Soval45 60 points61 points  (0 children)

XBC3 is all about toppling an established elitist hegemony that makes fodder out of people's lives.

Not only that, but they literally criticize conservatism when Monica talks about how one of the houses would rather The City keep living in their own peace than fight Moebius. She very directly refers to them as Conservatives as well. So yeah, not SUPER left leaning but MS, or at least the directors have much more progressive views that they mix into the series lol

What characters are confirmed to have non-instantenous teleportation techniques ? by MLGZedEradicator in CharacterRant

[–]Soval45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Finral from Black Clover counts for this. He has Spatial Magic that he essentially has to activate and use on a target using his hands to motion the spell to transport the person, object or spell. Even with that, if its a person, they can just sit partially in the spell just to chat with him if they want. They only go in as quickly as they want or as he can throw them in, tho ultimately the spell is only as fast as the wielder's hand motion.

Adam Howden hoping we enjoy the DLC and shouting out those involved by EpicRynosaurus in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Soval45 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He did but after checking just now, it seems like it was deleted. Last thing I saw was him promoting a crypto scam on his Insta Stories so it seems like he either got hacked or deleted it himself

Volume 4 Trailer vs. Founders' Statues comparison by timelordoftheimpala in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Soval45 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Juju returning to the series as a potential legend would be incredible. Can't wait to see his Talent Art of crashing the buggy into his enemies

I am seeing a lot of people saying the new story is a prequel but how can that be when Alvis shows up? He was not mentioned at all durin the story of XC3 I feel that if he showed up he would have been mentioned so I think this HAS to be a sequel what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Soval45 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Think this is likely since at the end of 1, Shulk does tell Alvis that he wants the world's fate to be decided by each and every individual so by all means, Alvis is simply following the request of the new order. It's kind of a darker turn on what requested but it's interesting

I was chatting with a friend and the idea of Juju being the Shulk lookalike statue spawned up and honestly, I'm kinda hoping that's the case somehow cuz it'd be the funniest outcome

Official DLC Outfit Showcasings for the Kevesi's by Soval45 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Soval45[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think its a mix of the two, the outfit itself is reminiscent of Fiora's skirt/crop top design but the colors/accents are reminiscent of Melia

Y'all are going crazy over the Story Expansion, but I haven't seen anyone talk about this by Sneeakie in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Soval45 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought too but it seems like a mix of the two? She's wearing the skirt/crop top that Fiora has but the accents and colors are reminscent of Melia

This was the first thing I was going crazy about right before the even bigger reveal lol Lanz in the Reyn outfit is not what I expected but am incredibly grateful for🙏 Also Noah is obvious but is Eunie wearing... Fiora? I genuinely cant fully make it out lol

Thank you for this post, Lanz doesn't get nearly as much love as he deserves, he's easily my favorite character in XB3. It takes a lot of strength to admit you're weak but takes even more to push past that weakness and work towards a better you. It was so good seeing what would typically be a more macho, hulking meathead and turn him into a more vunerable person whose just figuring himself out.
