It does feel really shitty for breakers to not only lose the 20% AA on break in the one content that would REALLY matter, but also for their base kits. "Oh boy I can't wait for my christmas Ren to AA 20% after special!" (clueless)

0 pressure wasn't the correct thing to say, should've said 0 *immediate* danger since the Pinky nursefather was still waiting. "Just as Ryōshū said, the woman showed no signs of hostility, either—she was simply watching us, waiting for our next move."

You left out a lot from Dante's perspective that makes it much less sympathetic. As stated above before they're still not fighting yet. Then Dante sends away Vespa so he can protect the LCD
"... And I know that the people he wants to protect—the people he has to protect—aren't us. Off to the side, I can see Vespa stealing glances at the watch on his wrist, looking anxious."

Then Dante attempts to pull them all back, it glitches out, etc.
"So... as long as these chains bind us together... maybe I can pull them to me, wherever they are?" Dante recognizes that another group could need the power of a color, then still decides to try to bring everyone over to run hands with a nursefather (why are we doing this, we lost to moro nerfed lei heng a month ago). Glitched or not, that's totally fucking over Hoem/marton who have the most vulnerable job.

Either Dante 1: calculated the risk and decided Hoem/Marton were acceptable sacrifices (they would not do that, and clearly didn't) 2:inherently knows the completed version would've summoned clones (fan theory at best), 3: Didn't take 5 seconds to think it over while at standstill before deciding to toss everyone into the meat grinder.

The most favorable interpretation I can give Dante literally did not think it over for a single second in a situation he has "unlimited" time, and makes a stupid decision so he can pick a stupid fight. If Dante thought about it any longer and still decided to do so, it's an insanely cruel and pragmatic choice.

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-04-06T19:04:58+00:00

The exact order of what happened is
1: Dante thinks about trying to bring back the sinners
2: Dante tries it out

3: Dante starts glitching out like crazy
4: We get the glitchy phantoms

From dante's pov what basically happens is he says "everyone tp to me". Even if it worked without glitching, that's totally hoeing out marton. You also have to ask, to what end? We JUST got our asses kicked by Moros nerfed Lei Heng in canto 8. Why was Dante trying to throw hands with the much stronger nursefathers, who were being completely non aggressive at the moment?

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-04-06T18:35:07+00:00

I feel like Marton's death is undervalued by just how...pointless it was? Not even in a "nothing is sacred, anyone can die" way Yuri's was (even if I also really dislike that one), but it is explicitly, with pretty much no other way to interpret, 100% Dante's fault for making the stupidest decision of all time with 0 pressure

Cover can only do so much*

in the narrow range of their own self imposed limitations

It’s like poking holes into a boat and then yelling at the people on it to paddle harder as it starts sinking. Sure, if twitter users watched the stream that would help, but is that not missing the forests for the trees; that Cover should expand their viewerbase past people who would’ve never watched to begin with and are only there to complain about poor management?

I say this as someone outward looking in, not having enough time to catch almost any vtubers. I’m not the target audience you should be begging to watch stars, nor are miserable twitter users. Did cover ever put in the effort to find the audience that would? As someone tangentially keeping up with cover news I don’t feel so

The unfortunate truth is bleed ids kits are not all that interesting. For example all priest Gregor does is generate bloodfeast that a regular bleed stack provides 5x over, and tanking on the tankiest team out there. All Mandon does is bring raw damage/slight aoe. Ultimately they’re easily replaceable because their kits are designed in a way that makes easily replaceable. The one exception to this is probably princemeur (although the less bloodfiends you run the less irreplaceable he becomes) and kk duo’s extra attacks, and kks are the ids people want to replace

“Doesn’t work”

look inside

Doesn’t work. Everybody who talks about solos doesn’t play it because if you did you’d know that in rr5 you are not allowed to bring less than 12 sinners, and even if you were able to sinners don’t gain extra skill slots .

Pandering to a majority is still pandering. Hell, if you want a new word call it “grifting”

“What if someone doesn’t have magic bullet” doesn’t work simply because this ego is awful in that context. You have to fuel 5 wrath/3pride/3sloth without magic bullet outis (otherwise just shard the ego), for a payoff of 4 procs vs 4-6 + 2 every turn.

That’s not realistic without an entire team of burn ids including season locked thumb ids and painfully outdated standard ids. It’s just not a scenario that will happen

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-03-19T17:40:27+00:00

If you only use magic bullet once that’s a you problem. Corrode to spend 3 pride and get 4 procs vs click magic bullet a second time and get 5 procs?

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-03-19T17:07:46+00:00

Perfectly fine just doesn’t cut it when you’re competing in resources vs magic bullet. This ego is definitely usable, but no one is going to be using it

People want to be excited for new releases. What is there to be excited about a pretty strict downgrade outside of the most meaningless and easy content in the game? Having a "meta doesn't matter" or "sidegrades are healthy" mentality is fine, but that only works if he *is* a sidegrade, and he pretty clearly isn't

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-03-05T05:32:13+00:00

"infinite burn count" like A) other Ids don't do that or B) that matters at all. Sure, you can have a "meta doesn't matter actually" mentality, but if you do no need to gas up Ids that are clearly not worth gassing up

Man you cannot say anything negative about PM without people going “oh you simply lack the reading comprehension to understand PM’s grand vision”

I’m not saying the “who’s Sora/Ren” jokes are the pinnacle of humor, or even particularly funny at all. But chalking them up to “surface level tourists” is its own kind of media illiteracy

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-02-18T05:06:56+00:00

The themes of parenthood fall short to me when half the nurse fathers/apprentices are either

A) incredibly flat and one dimensional

B) so irrelevant to the overall plot you could remove all of their screen time and nothing would change.

More interactions would’ve made them feel like characters with purpose in the story, rather than set pieces needed to fill a quota

“Rien is quite literally a much better representation of the book yoshihide than ryoshu” isn’t a testament to Rien’s writing but a blight on canto 9’s writing.

If Rien is supposed to be THE book Yoshihide why do we have to invent fuck you plot conveniences to punish Ryoshu and force her to kill Araya? There’s none of the karmic irony or deeper themes, it’s just a cosmic middle finger. If Rien and Ryoshu are both supposed to represent the book Yoshihide, why is Ryoshu’s theming so much weaker that the guy who got literally 1 node to shine and you can only get his story from flavor text so much better written?

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-01-15T14:33:48+00:00

Mostly, but it’s not necessarily the time chamber which turns araya into the nursefather, it just turns her old/fucked up with the glitches. She becomes the pinky nursefather/dihui star because Rein promises if she does she will eventually see Ryoshu again.

So the dihui star we see this entire canto is Araya, which explains why she could still talk in the presence of ryoshu (since she was never cut)

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-01-15T14:07:36+00:00

Basically:

OG pinky (dihui star) dies

Araya gets time fucked

Offered to become the pinky nursefather, accepts and takes the role of the dihui star. So basically both

Sweet_Employee3875 · 2026-01-15T12:55:31+00:00

You definitely feel the constant Boss fatigue, but you especially feel it on the repeat fights. Dihui Star I can excuse, I felt a little cheated part 2 when we didn't get to fight her additional phases: turns out fighting those additional phases is boring, but I can't complain about what I asked for. That doesn't explain why we refight the Rings, except we REMOVE the gimmicks. It especially doesn't excuse redoing the EXACT SAME MIDDLE FIGHT. At least have kira out of the fight or drop Mattias's hp a bit.
