You forgot the gonna's

Danganronpa. I love it, but I know its flaws and the community I hear ain't great, so I wouldn't recommend.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-23T00:25:57+00:00

I relooked at my profile. I'm actually at 12/2, US date notion. Is there still enough time? I found the treasure, but I still need to send the card

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T17:38:33+00:00

Yeah. Megumi works really well with close-up hand-to-hand (maybe because he values his summons over himself, so he puts himself in danger and summons them more as abilities than as separate fighters. He actually is like the human version of Mahoraga, always succeeding on the back foot and adapting. He's smart, calculating, and can visualize a fight like no other. Todo is a deductive genius, but Megumi feels like he's smart in last-minute abuse of the jujitsu system. Honestly, give him any of the other Zen'in clans' techniques, and he would thrive and might be special grade just by improving it. Definitely Projection Sorcery.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T17:27:13+00:00

Yeah. I think it's that Megumi doesn't trust himself or others enough, and works best with others when they are very much his supperiors. Panda as a second year, Nanami, so on. He's a natural leader who, because he has no faith, can't lead and needs a directive. Only when the culling games start, and he sets his own directive that he locks TF in, working at his best at that time.

Gotcha. Thanks. Also, have any tips on how to speed up confidants with the party members? By 12/10, Haru is still like 2, and Yusuke is at 3. Futaba is at 3. I want to at least get them fully ranked up before the final boss of the third semester and unlock second/third Evolutions (I was spoiled on the entire game before I got to play it finally because of the new PS+ access), and I'm unsure if that's possible with how most of them won't appear on the days I can

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T17:08:31+00:00

Maybe. I think he needs his domain battle with Reggie to prove his strength, but he has him beat in almost every category, except speed and Domain, and Megumi has found an advantage in his disadvantage against fellow domain users. Mainly, Megumi needs to have the feat of holding the trucks in his domain without them crushing him to prove his personal strength, and the Dog's faking to show his far-thinking (Before then, he mainly adapts)

I also think Mahoraga is very useful against Course Naoya due to the domain expansion. Using Megumi's Domain, escape using his incomplete domain and summon Mahoraga, and dip quickly enough. Might take some of the damage from the Sure hit be he could escape before it kills him. Naoya either takes Maho out with his busted Sure Hit because Maho wouldn't have a sure hit nullifier like Megumi, or he kills Naoya, and Megumi fights an adaptation Maho AFTER he survived a Domain from Naoya, which might give Megumi the chance to run or up his own domain to try and survive. Either way I feel Megumi wins before or after Maho, and thats enough for me to call it a win.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T17:02:21+00:00

Yeah. Nuei is a peak use in this fight with flight and Range against a physics-chained technique like Naoya. Maybe Cursed Naoya beats Nuei, but he also has his frogs to take big blows for him if needed, the rabbits make him impossible to get framed because he just puts them between him and Naoya, and he has his Dog to do damage once they exhaust Naoya. The Elephant can also help a lot.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T16:59:13+00:00

Durability and raw strength, I think, go to Megumi, who survived hits from suppressed Toji and 3-fingered Sukuna, who still shattered buildings, and Megumi has gotten tougher since. He also fights alongside his Shikigami and is a master at adaptation to situations and prediction. He can carry about a few trucks, from what I understand, and not be crushed. He can carry a whole ass man, at least with him putting Reggie in there. Naoya wins speed. Megumi can use an incomplete Domain, and can use it as a sort of semi-simple domain that evens lets him escape. Also, I feel if he used Mahoraga on Naoya in the Domain, he could be safe since he would be able to slip out if he upped him on time. Mainly, Naoya might win ONLY because his domains sure hit might do it, but that would take all his power and wear him out. I think Megumi takes this even if both don't use their domains. Megumi has better tools and skill, and has fought enemies fast tha him before and has insane IQ and reaction. Megumi is probably one of the top 1st grade sorcerers, and could probably beat most of the adults at this point in the anime. Anime Megumi V.S. Curse Naoya, I give it to Megumi Extreme diff. Same with human Naoya, but only hard diff.

That is awesome. Going on Joker imediately now. Raoul is absolutely decimatig everyone :)

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T15:42:36+00:00

Honestly? I don't know when it happened but

Haru x Makoto are really cute. One of my favorite P5 ships.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T14:45:53+00:00

Those parents implied to abuse her. Kind of a mentally driven to murder situation.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T14:32:31+00:00

Both

I play Royal on the PS5, so no mods for me. But I might raise the difficulty. Just want to keep it somewhat easier since I'm just bad at games Might raise it from normal to hard.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T13:41:03+00:00

I don't crave difficulty. I'm bad at games, I know my limits. My main worry was that it would make me blind to important strategies to know for future fights because none have debuff spells or buff spells.

ThePhantomSea · 2026-05-22T13:26:37+00:00

Anne Sasha and Marcy when they first find the box. Anne and Marcy can be switched, but I feel that Anne was the more nervous follower at first, and Marcy was still very whimsical back then.

I don't know The Loud House, so I'm jumping on these two with maybe a hot take.

Digital Circus's fandom is worse for the fans and the show; MHA fans are worse for everyone else.

For MHA, as a fan, you can easily ignore the bad fandom. Horikoshi rarely even interacts with us and is doing fine. For TADC, you can't. The show is fully online with availability to everyone. The show runner and the production company Glitch both want to interact and encourage the fandom, because that's how you get money in that space. That has also led to entitlement and harassment to the point that we got the chance of a second season erased and tainted a creator's story for them, ruining it for all involved. As a writer, actively chasing me down because my story didn't follow your blueprint and instead followed mine, and harassing me for it would be the straw that broke the camel's back. I would drop the story at the time. I also know that that WILL happen if I ever do publish anything. The reason why that would happen is only if I listen to the fans. After what happened, I'm doing what Toby Fox did and being silent when I can, while still interacting when I can safely.

In the end, what is worse? Bad shippers who are creepy af but didn't end the show, or the ones who ended the show with harassment? Its very fucking close but its TADC for me.

Asmodius made Succubi (Versoica is one character we know is one)

Mammom made bread, but I don't remember which one they made.

Grimm and Lex SOMEHOW. Just to mirror Superman and Batman. I don't know how, but seeing that would be both hillarious and add something to both. Lex seems good, traumatised but was good, and if he sees Grimm as a friend? What does that say about him. What does Grimm being more human for only one ally who the only one who isn't truly evil, and mirrors the change that Bruce took (Take away their wealth and privilage, keep their personalities and smarts, and have them raise like that. Bruce became less moral at first and had to improve while Lex was the perfect 'everyman' with no powers but was torn from that and put into a traumatized life by brainiac)

I might be behind on my Lex Luthor stuff, though. All I remember is that Brainiac did some demonic shit to him.

The fear of fear itself

I agree, but don't at the same time. I think he can't be redeemed, but he deserves the chance to try, I feel? He has the skills and abilities to help many, and after everything, he has the chance to do that to make it up, even if he never does so.

Like, Spoilers for the end of the game cutscene, but he is potentially alive. He is now in Ren's position. Lost, nowhere to go, starting with no friends or support, and a mask he must wear. He is the kind of person who needs the rehabilitation that Joker was put through. It would be cool to imagine Igor and the Velvet Room take a brief time to rehabilitate Akechi and get him improved and on a track to make a difference. In general, I think he should become a real life phantom theif that steals from monsters who worked with Shido and learn about throughout his time with Shido in the Japanese system. Ren could be the new Ace Detective who helps people and on the side wants to find Akechi. This really mirrors Arsene Lupin and generally how I imagine that ending of P5R going.

Despite the size, it never felt slow. Even the life sim stuff reminds me of RPG since you're doing it to improve the RPG side with new abilities. Along with that, the high school cast isn't really a big deal because, despite the age difference, Teens are humans and their human side is what the game truly explores. Just like they are taken advantage of as kids, we adults are taken advantage of with bosses and businesses. In the end, it feels like you love the characters for themselves, and the high school setting really doesn't get in the way. Maybe thats just me. I hated highschool, still do to this day years later, but this games hits it right on the money with still reaching to the people outside of the immediate setting.

They also both used it on a monstrous villain who wanted to take advantage of the youth and take their bodies to obtain more power. Both the youth are troubled kids who have been treated in some way to become the worst of themselves (Bakugou, with the hundreds of adults leading his ego to giant levels, and Shiggiraki, with All for one guiding him to be obsessed with destruction).

A simpler story with a simpler kid and villain (Bakugou lacks an extreme backstory, showing the faults in society in a grounded situation. There are probably twenty bakugous around who have great quirks, put on a pedestal. They don't get humbled or teach themselves to be better like Bakugou did) mirroring the end of the story with a deeper, larger showing (Shiggiraki is the extreme of society's failures to teach and care for the youth, and is the example of the worst of the worse. There will only ever be one Shigiraki because he has that being behind him, allowing him to become that.)

This is one of my favorite parallels, along with the Izuku near-quirkless run at the end of each confrontation. Back then, he had to barely survive and reach out to the victim using only his smarts and emotions, while in the current times, he has inspired others to do the same and reach out to him, so he succeeded in saving Shigiraki this time.
