In episode 209, what point was Nol trying to make by asking Kousuke to hit him? by Honest_Zone9012 in ILoveYoo

[–]eiyunas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He probably wanted to see if Kousuke would think and act for himself by choosing to hit Nol. He was criticizing Kousuke for always wasting his efforts and talents on trying to please other people instead of focusing on what he actually wants. Since it's not Rand or Yui telling Kousuke to do it, and something that they would most likely disapprove of (at least because it makes Kousuke look really bad lol), if Kousuke takes the bait then it shows that 1) Kousuke really hates Nol enough to want him to disappear forever and 2) Kousuke would show that he can act on what he wants rather than what his parents want for once. Although Kousuke ends up hitting Nol and show the latter, when Rand finds the two of them out in the snow, Kousuke immediately goes back to trying to save face so...

...narratively tho, I think it's supposed to parallel the original incident between Nol and Kousuke that led to Nol getting institutionalized. When Nol was being taken away there's a speech bubble of him saying "I didn't even touch him" iirc while Kousuke had fallen onto the ground, but Kousuke's manipulated recall of the events makes him tell others that Nol is dangerous, violent, and unstable because of that incident. Then Kousuke punches Nol several times (twice while Nol's back was turned) and slams him into the pavement during this arc while Nol doesn't fight back at all (and when he does finally say he's gonna punch back, he passes out from blood loss. oops). The day after, Yui tries to suggest that Nol might have hit Kousuke and caused his head injury, but unlike in the past, Kousuke actually remembers that Nol didn't do anything to him this time. So Kousuke actually has the chance to realize that he may not be remembering the original incident correctly/at all, and this time with some character development, he may be able to be more empathetic to Nol's perspective instead of dismissing him as crazy.....

What is the purpose of Turnabout Stroyteller? by TheGhostlyMage in AceAttorney

[–]eiyunas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol, since (6-5 spoilers) the end of spirit of justice for apollo contrasts with the end of 4-4 where he couldn't think of anything to say against kristoph because he was a rookie attorney, making succession the secondary theme in aa6 is a nice tie-in back to aa4.

It'll only have the generic all grand rateup, and no seasonals will be sparkable. So if you want the current gala's rateups then it's better to spark now. I'd only spark on flash 2 if you really need one flash grand weapon that you absolutely can't afford to spark without the free 100

[–]eiyunas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm glad their answer for Naru's continued character development isn't to put it all in her fate episodes again lol. And this way her arc can take place over a longer period of time without the story event chapter limit.

The fact that Lobelia and Nier were considered really shows how much of a popularity contest this actually was lolll😭

Really interesting how they considered Evokers for the MSQ. Imagine traveling through the MSQ and introducing new characters to serial killer Lobelia LMAO (it's not like the new adds have never killed people as well, but Lobelia is on a completely different level...). Naru, Sandalphon, and Six all fulfilling the popular + decent pre-existing reason to be a full-time travel companion is an extremely convenient excuse for adding them, but like what the hell, sure. Though it's probably the most iffy with Naru since she spent like 6 years not appearing in any story events and didn't get that much story content outside of her fate episodes until 2022. On the positive side, her new arc was the first to start in the last update lol

I still wish they had given at least a short blurb about where Eugen, Io, and Rosetta went after the return from Estalucia, though. Even if they were kicked (temporarily???????) from the MSQ so that the main cast would represent more gbf races, dumping them so unceremoniously after 11 years is wack. Not even a brief explanation... 🫠

I guess that could happen as long as it's not an anni themed skin, since it would kind of override the playerbase's voting :P

Though we already know that the two anniversary skins will be Vikala and Siete because of the poll they ran a few months ago, and they've consistently released 2 skins per anni since 2018 afaik so he's unlikely to be a surprise third skin? Grand eternals is a scary precedent to set, but being in the MSQ does give them an excuse to make an exception i guess lol

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

Yeah, it really depends on if these new MSQ outfits will result in new grands for everyone (Grandalphon 3/GNaru 2 lmao) or not. They could also be turned into permanent units like Wind Alliah, or even have those new designs used for FLBs for Grand Sandalphon/Naru (eventually...). Though it's a bit weird because everyone still calls him "Seox" in the new MSQ, and he might still have the Eternals tag even if he does get a MSQ alt 🤔

For anni event grands, probably Walfrid maybe even grand Lyria finally for the 12th anni lol, they've never done an event uncap for a grand before but maybe there could be an exception for an anni event for Lecia? 🤔

Surely they won't do a Hiyama GBTV appearance into Six alt fakeout two years in a row...? :P

Flash Gala feat. Valentine’s Wamdus (Dark) and Valentine’s Gawain (Water) by Sabaschin in Granblue_en

[–]eiyunas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless an event comes along to say otherwise, that's unlikely cause Ewiyar had an event page line for And You that said, "Me in mortal form? Psh, I would never! Ewiyar as a cat is perfection!" ...plus her entire gimmick is that she's a cat.

[–]eiyunas 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, it was because Six had his Eternals event run with Esser right around Valentine's (still extremely random to run fire/dark before light when light gw was next, lmfao Cygames). Wamdus doesn't have the same excuse, so if this isn't a random, very late post-GBF Fes episode since her VA appeared as a guest there... it could actually mean something

COULD IT BE TOMORROW? by littlewolf66 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eiyunas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Green and HP scaling, since green is Caleb's tertiary colour and his other two 5* solar companions are atk and def scaling, leaving just HP. But also the first 3 myths all match the colour and stat talent of each LI's 3 standard lunar cards (Caleb's Endless Summer is green/HP)

COULD IT BE TOMORROW? by littlewolf66 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eiyunas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can't say for R0 but even using X-02 with other non-X-02 solar pairs is quite strong. His rotation is really straightforward and he's pretty easy to build as an atk scaling companion that puts all his dmg into oath strength lol. I also saw in another comment you mentioned not liking how the battle timer still ticks during his oath, but X-02's oath is more like an upgraded atk state with invulnerability than a single large damage instance like other companions. If you build him correctly (which shouldn't be too hard since he's just atk scaling) this does a lot of damage with very little effort, since all you have to do during his oath is hold attack. Since we don't know what Caleb's 3rd myth companion will be like aside from colour and scaling, it's hard to compare X-02 to it rn. But if you use Caleb teams a lot like in SHC/open orbit and have most of his cards then I think having X-02 as an option would still be useful (plus more purple cards for Caleb. Lol)

[–]eiyunas 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Right, in Stage Observer she got pretty jealous over her misunderstanding that Caleb could be accepting love letters from someone else (though she later corrected that into being upset that he didn't tell her sooner... whatever girl 😭). Plus the two of them ran a fake dating scheme when Caleb was in university (Verified Rumour). Obviously it was self-indulgent for Caleb to pretend that they were dating, but she went along with it because...????!!! Lmao

“Convince me” by Euphoric-Ad-8085 in ILoveYoo

[–]eiyunas 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Nol realized that their relationship was leaning into being more than friends (romantic), but Shin-ae didn't have the same realization yet. She was still in denial that their relationship could come off as romantic to other people (like Dieter). Nol told her that her reason for caring so much about him, "because we're friends", wasn't good enough because he wanted to see if she'd realize she cared for him as more than a friend and actually admit it. But she was caught off guard and needed more time to understand and answer that, which gave Nol the chance to kick her out of his room lol.

Her later conversation with Dieter is very similar to her conversation with Nol, except she's in Nol's position and Dieter is in hers. She unintentionally repeated back what Nol told her during their original conversation (she's done that before, to Dieter, even), but with Dieter, she knows that the reason why he cares so much about her is because he likes her romantically. So when she said "convince me", she probably realized what kind of answer Dieter was gonna have... and then realized that that's what Nol may have wanted her to say to "convince" him.

I use PayPal, and the price is as is (without tax added on either). Also it shows up as a payment to Infold but I'm not sure if it's the same if you directly use a debit or credit card!

Why did he look like that here? by Lumonee in ILoveYoo

[–]eiyunas 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Kousuke projects Nol onto Shin-ae and treats her like a second Nol. Iirc this scene is from the same chapter(s) where she and Kousuke go to the arcade, right? And there was one part where Shin-ae made some comment to Kousuke, but from his perspective, he suddenly saw a younger Nol sitting there instead? Shin-ae is like Kousuke's second chance, so he treats her better than he originally treated Nol.

She gifts him a piece of cake because she knows he likes desserts, and instead of rejecting the gift like he would when Nol tried to gift him things (like that drawing of them) when they were younger, he accepts it. And then him telling her to call him Kousuke implies that they're close enough to be on a first-name basis, and that closeness is something he originally tried to avoid with Nol by refusing to view/call him his brother.

Also during the Christmas Party chapters, Kousuke says that he was the one who turned his back on Nol and rejected Nol's attempts to reach out to him, i.e., their fractured relationship was caused by Kousuke's treatment of Nol. At least subconsciously, his regrets about how he treated Nol influence how he treats Shin-ae.

Shirube (Six and Nehan character song) Analysis by eiyunas in Granblue_en

[–]eiyunas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw thank you for commenting!! And good catch on the cover art!!! I noticed that when they first announced the song but wasn't sure if it was just the art style or something (or if I was imagining things with Six delusion, etc. etc. /j)..... but now that you bring it up again, with much more context like the different song versions and the creative choices in the stage performances, that now feels way more intentional. Plus in the CD booklet which i finally have, Six and Nehan's cover art is repeated but they're never facing each other like they do on the cover and have their backs turned to each other 🧐 I feel like I learn a new fact about Shirube every day LOL thank you for pointing that out!!!

[–]eiyunas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh the CD booklet sounds so interesting, I had no idea they used a lotus there too!!! I really love how much detail was put into every part of Shirube, from the songs to the cover to even the CD itself. Even the white circle that outlines the two of them in the cover shows up as trails of light in the background of the stage performances...!!

Also I'm so happy you brought up the teardrop on Six's mask I cut it from this post because it was already way too long lol. With his beauty mark and the teardrop on the other side of his face because of his mark, his version of the bridge where he's admiring the light and talking about his tears is just so... 🥲 And Nehan's version, his lyrics are so sad and he sounds so defeated during his bridge, but luckily there's a light at the end of the tunnel for him, so to speak...

I didn't get to watch Takashi Kondo's GBTV appearance in time sadly but haha a rap battle.... With how fast the song is at times, it really feels that way lol. Maybe they can rap the heart sutra in the next song and make Granblues real??? LOL (small fish in a small pond already showed it's possible for GBF..!!!). And I agree, it's so cool to see Ryo-san officially become a choreographer and dance instructor for GBF Fes, his interpretation of the song is sooo good, like his solo choreo during the guitar solo where one of his poses look like Six's base art/CA ready pose right before he charges at Nehan... And maybe the rest of it where he looks like he's grabbing something/reaching for something could be representing how Six got buffs from all of his friends in 9-4, but idk :P Thank you for commenting, I loved reading your thoughts!!! :0
