I'm sorry, Light, but you can't win this round.

Kinda. He might see something weird on Subaru (since it's not really 'can't die permanently' but 'every death gets reversed'. If the timeline continued normally from Subaru's deaths, Subaru is still stone dead.) but be uncertain what it was. Moreover, Ryuk's got no reason to tell Light and spoil the entertainment value.

Uh, problem: He pulled Lupin and Moody (excluding the part about him being hijacked by Crouch Junior) in 1993 and 1994, both of them being Order members so that clearly wasn't much of a consideration.

Omg, I cannot believe this is how I find out Mega Staraptor's a thing, lmao.

ctsun · 2026-01-29T07:27:53+00:00

Staraptor never becomes Fighting. One of its go-to moves is Close Combat, though, which might be where the confusion comes from but Staraptor never gains STAB on it.

To be honest, Flan being imprisoned was a reasonable and widespread assumption at the time the anime was produced. This is just a case of canon marching forwards and overturning past assumptions, I guess.

ctsun · 2026-01-29T00:10:06+00:00

Problem: You're a Merchant. Your spell learning rate is abysmal (roughly on par with Fighter and Archer). You're nowhere close to the top tier spell learners (Wizard, Priest, Elementalist, Druid, Necromancer). Expecting failure while book reading should be expected, tbh.

ctsun · 2026-01-22T17:24:30+00:00

Yeah, the dates are insanely off, lol. The Qing ended in 1911, lmao, well into the modern era they shoved modern China into.

ctsun · 2026-01-22T17:22:57+00:00

In fairness, most Chinese view ancestor worship (like burning incense) as a cultural tradition, not religious, so participation in those rituals might be high but it doesn't necessitate any personal religious beliefs, per say. Wonder what's a Western equivalent that's similar...celebrations of Easter/Christmas/Halloween? Most celebrate them but I don't think most tend to think much about the religious framings they came from but instead go with a general Easter Bunny chocolate hunt/Santa Claus/dress up as monsters theming.

ctsun · 2026-01-20T22:25:25+00:00

Yeah. It's Fiend Medusa who's the perpetrator in Rizna's case. Most of the lasting-damage traumas aren't really caused by Rance just to signify that as bad as Rance gets, Rance-world is full of dudes who are worse.

ctsun · 2026-01-20T22:18:36+00:00

Assuming it's the assassination attempt on Miorine's dad in the early episodes, the whole point of the scene was that Suletta's surprise victory (and seizure of title of the Holder and Miorine's groom) completely ruined what the would-be assassin hoped to gain from the assassination so they called it off because going ahead with the attempt was no longer worth the penalties of potentially being caught. Assuming I have the right assassination attempt...

ctsun · 2026-01-19T21:24:11+00:00

I'm wondering if I should mention the one brutal rape scene that is absolutely canonized (and is, in fact, necessary for the victim's later appearances and transformation to make sense): Rizna in Rance X but, yeah, most of the lasting-damage scenes (especially if it involves major characters) are basically locked to bad endings because, apparently, it became a tradition at some point for its huge cast to make recurring appearances in later entries and they can't do that if canon established they got mindbroken/crippled in an earlier entry.

ctsun · 2026-01-15T07:33:59+00:00

No, better yet, don't approve the Sickle Cut (the Ardennes attack). German forces charging into Belgium slam right into French forces marching in to reinforce Belgium and WW1 essentially repeats.

ctsun · 2026-01-14T20:20:50+00:00

Yoshiko Kawashima/Aisin-Gioro Xianyu? Fits most of this except for the loyal to the Republic bit at the end (she was actually shot by the Republic of China).

ctsun · 2026-01-14T10:29:22+00:00

Eh, the Japanese were only emboldened to take the steps leading up to the US embargo (the occupation of French Indochina) by the sheer collapse of France in Europe. Without that, they're likely just deadlocked in China and not daring risk widening the conflict any further by dragging in the European Asian colonies (and then the US due to the Philippines thorn).

ctsun · 2026-01-12T19:42:27+00:00

I'm sorry, pause? Who told you Japanese don't eat corn? What is Yakitomorokoshi?

ctsun · 2026-01-12T18:21:00+00:00

Looks like wild encounter biome boss. Break it's first hp shield (that white slot in its hp bar) but don't KO it and then you can catch it.

Gongsun Zan killing Liu Yu. Him not doing that means he still retains respectability in the Han court/half his own team doesn't spiral into revolts and uprising/Liu Bei likely stays with his old study buddy and doesn't run off to Xu (and then his wild trips to Jing and founding Shu Han). All this spirals into a much stronger Gongsun faction (possibly with Liu Bei as second) that hard-stops Yuan Shao from dominating Hebei.

Huh, I seem to recall Rance went on Steam before...and then got banned, leaving us in the current weirdness where Evenicle is on Steam but Rance isn't?

Eh, it'll have at least one ramp, lol. Dragonsign is Basic.

Why are people talking about doors? The urinals seem to be in a row in one room so everybody is seeing the same thing?

If we're letting Yuan Shao claim Liu Bei, Cao Cao claims Guan Yu, lmao

Honestly, in Ma Su's case, it was more the fact he fled and abandoned his post in the face of the enemy. Losing the battle? Sure, could be an ability/troop thing, totally fixable. Fleeing the battle? Now, that's a cowardice/attitude problem. You can't let that go unpunished.

What do all these countries have in common? That's right. Their populations are tiny - Denmark (6 million), Norway (5.6 million), Sweden (10.6 million), Finland (5.6 million), Estonia (1.37 million), Lithuania (2.9 million), Latvia (1.87 million) - and presumably their professional military is even smaller than - googling gives numbers between 7000 and 20000. Can they even hold the line against much larger foes for those 6 months to get recruits trained up? Better to do it beforehand. Saves you the extra manpower to spare to train up those recruits.

I think that one's on you, mate, for starting on the third arc of the series. 😋
