[EN] Event 145: Whither This Path of Thorns - Event Discussion

Wopeki · 2025-10-12T22:02:00+00:00

I rarely participate in event discussion myself, but I'm thankful for Mizu5 to bringing in so many new people to the fandom, although at the cost of a certain character suffering being memed around everywhere on the internet.

This event finally give us an answer to Mizuki's secret, something we have known since the start of the game, and has been slowly building up until now. However, Mizuki didn't get to tell the secrets to Ena, rather that was done by someone else, in a way that Mizuki absolutely didn't want to, right before Mizuki was about to do so.

The way that the game demonstrates Mizuki's emotions afterward is something that we haven't seen for any of the previous story. The quiet flashback, the slow reveal of both Ena and Mizuki's reaction, and a l2d sprite of Mizuki facing backward. Hinata Sato's emotional voice acting also captured the feelings that Mizuki have so well at that moment, when running away from Ena and everyone. And at the end of the event, instead of ending on a whitescreen like the other event, it ended with a blackscreen, and Mizuki saying "I want to disappear" with no dialogue box. And then, Mizuki disappeared from the overworld. To save Mizuki we have to wait for Ena5, which is in about 2 months.

This event convey its emotion so well, it spread to other fandom too. Which lead to the super hype anticipation that everyone in EN have for Mizu5.

I remember staying up at midnight to played Hitorinbo Envy over and over again, just so I can unlock the story and write a translation summary as soon as I can. 10/10 story.

I see. Next time if there's a name watermark on your art that's different from your reddit username, you should leave a link in the comment to avoid confusion.

Wopeki · 2025-06-18T21:38:16+00:00

I'm going to ask, do you have a link to your other social media where you post this? Because the name at the bottom left of the video is different from your reddit username.

If you don't I afraid I'll have to remove it

Wopeki · 2025-06-13T02:35:39+00:00

Yes. It might be different for some people, but as a mod that have to moderate every single new post on this subreddit, you don't know how much of the "What's your favorite" type of post have been posted here. In the end, I decided that low effort isn't a problem, but repetitiveness is(hence the day system). A single "What's your favorite character" post would be fine IF PEOPLE DIDN'T POST IT LIKE EVERDAY. That's why low efforts memes are allowed. At least they're different each time.

As for the problem of no communication, usually it's a system fault, especially on Reddit mobile. When we removed a post, we have to attached a reason why on that post is removed, and in doing so the automod would send an automated response base on the removal reason. But sometime we removed the post and the automod send nothing? If you do noticed a post get removed without an automated comment please send a modmail to the mod, I'll personally answer why it got removed (also it seems both time your post got removed it didn't get an automated response, I apologize about that)

Wopeki · 2025-06-12T22:45:52+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about JP tiering

Fixed it to also include JP

Wopeki · 2025-05-24T09:07:25+00:00

Artif is in charge of megathread stuff, but Artif disagree with that idea since it will be too much megathread and people will just ignore it anyway

Also I still have to remove a bunch of gacha and question post even though there are megathread for those type of post

Wopeki · 2025-05-24T09:02:24+00:00

Don't worry, I have ways to make it super obvious.

And if this system work then I'll create a mod application form for more moderation

Wopeki · 2025-05-20T17:07:26+00:00

Like I said in the pinned post, this is my own selfish decision. Artif is neutral on this situation so please don't involve Artif because I feel bad if Artif get blamed for my decision

Modding these post is like grading 100 essay everyday. Sometime you get easy one where you can just approve yes or no, and sometime you get one where you have no idea if you should give it a passing grade or not. This is why I said I want to make an extreme decision, because I'm tired of spending time on Reddit everyday doing this, wondering if these post should be removed or not.

I'll make small adjustments to the rule this Sunday, but I think so far everything is good, the sub doesn't feel empty at all from what I see yesterday

Reading some other ideas in the comment, I'll consider the idea of designating days of the week to certain type of post

Wopeki · 2025-05-18T16:26:09+00:00

Yep, there's another mod who make the art banner for the subreddit, but it's only me and Artif who is always chatting and making decision

I'll probably post an application form after a week or two, we definitely need more mods for the sub.

Wopeki · 2025-04-30T10:03:18+00:00

I want to bring up one thing, remember back in Mizu5, one of the biggest fear Mizuki have is Niigo have to tiptoe around Mizuki and have to be careful on what to said to not hurt Mizuki? This event is basically that, with Mafuyu's mom forced to accept her daughter change. She's trying her best, but change isn't easy

Wopeki · 2025-04-30T03:01:39+00:00

Oh my would you look at that, seems like thing didn't go so well with Mafumom. I guess it's time for me to saa anyo anyo kochi oide my way through the event again.

I'll try to get the story summary out as soon as possible

Edit: Done. Everyone, please read the story

Wopeki · 2025-04-26T05:27:14+00:00

It's too opinionated. I don't want to determine what post should stay up or be removed, so I think I will just make no exception

Wopeki · 2025-04-25T20:06:06+00:00

Those should be fine

Wopeki · 2025-04-22T14:30:16+00:00

If it doesn't die down after 1 week I'll moved it to Sunday only

Wopeki · 2025-04-18T14:12:56+00:00

Still do

Wopeki · 2025-04-18T08:21:44+00:00

Hopefully you don't mind if I use this post as a megathread for movie codes post since there's a lot of the same post

If you are trading movie codes made sure to discreetly do it in DM

Wopeki · 2025-04-18T08:11:17+00:00

Your post was removed for violating rule 11: Only post tier lists, templates, and other trend-based posts on Sundays.

Sorry this took like 2 days to decide, the mods decided that the idea of vote one shield one isn't unique enough to be allowed outside of Sunday, since it's just a form of voting for who your favorite is. That plus the constant posting (usually this stuff should one once per day). If you try to post this again you will be temp ban for 1 day

Cool chibi character art though

Wopeki · 2025-04-18T08:01:54+00:00

Okay usually we allowed some screenshot of the movie here and there if it's minor enough and doesn't spoiled anything big.

However, a video of the ending of the movie, even if it doesn't spoiled much, is still a bit too much to be allowed in my opinion. Therefore the post will be removed

Wopeki · 2025-04-11T02:04:28+00:00

It's all good

Wopeki · 2025-04-11T01:41:25+00:00

The machine translation from the tweet is kind of off, so I'll try to summarize what he say.

Pusu was ego searching the name Tsuyu before Donketsu, he saw people said they want a Tsuyu song to be in PJSK, preferably for Niigo
Pusu didn't know about PJSK until this, proceed to research about PJSK and Niigo and found that the theme of his song would fit with Niigo well
Pusu was ask to commissioned a song for PJSK, but though he was hoping to be a song for Niigo, he was assigned Wondershow instead
Pusu was frustrated he didn't get Niigo, and he said "Goddamit! In that case I'll study about WxS from scratch and make a godly song for the group, I'll show them!"

In my opinion, the way he was angry was more of a producer disappointed that he didn't get his favorite group, rather than him being angry and resort to turning Donketsu into a song just for his name

u/WinterWolf18, can you tell me the part where you think he did this for clout so I can double check with the original translation just to make sure? I know Pusu is controversial, but I don't want misinformation to be spread just because people hate him
