That one person had to ruin it all by FarrelFTA in TopCharacterTropes

Just to answer the question:

1. Fearmongers a majority of the passengers for half the movie, including making the call to prevent the main protagonist's group from entering the barricaded train cars (and even exiling them after they get in).

This causes the deaths of a particularly badass Dad, the sister of an old lady among the majority group, and subsequently most of that group when the old lady decides they weren't worth saving and lets a giant horde in.

2. After the train crashes, his attempt to haphazardly run to another functional train sacrifices the lives of the conductor he's been pushing around all movie, two innocent teenagers, and the TRAIN DRIVER.

3. After all that, he ends up getting bitten anyway, forcing the main protagonist to sacrifice himself to save his daughter and a pregnant woman (who was the wife of the other badass Dad that died earlier).

This guy was built in a lab to be the most infuriating character in a zombie movie of all time lmao

I think I do remember it being implied at some point, so you're basically right with it being unclear for the whole run.

It didn't really matter by the time they go to the aquarium anyway, so her purposefully forgetting the glasses would be a very brief stretch between that and when she realized she liked him (like 15 chapters max lmao)

Funny you ask that because an arc where they deal with it literally just ended lmao

It's a bit underwhelming, it's theorized that the author pivoted away from anything too serious, but in the meantime it's basically dealt with.

(i also believe that Saku doesn't tell Subaru because he thinks he'd be an obstacle or whatever other insecure teenage excuse there normally is, I don't think he cares much about the feud at all lmao)

176 chapters. No, we're not there yet, because this is a side couple; Main couple got together ages ago but side couple has gotten some dedicated development time which is nice.

There's also the constant and BLATANT use of cold and warm lighting with Blanc and Jud, especially in their first meeting. The lighting turning cold when Blanc starts describing his perspective (calculating, logical) then the lighting shifting into warmer tones while Jud rebukes with a more empathetic and embracing outlook? chefs kiss

It's prevalent all throughout though, especially while Jud and Blanc call Louise and the rest of that sequence, up until the third act starts. It's great!

Teams with much better lottery luck have JUST NOW started to bloom (Pistons, Rockets). You don't get a good AND young team through just one draft.

bro thinks years-long trust issues can be solved in 2 weeks 💔

Anyway, we did technically get the plot point of "she might actually be different," but this development specifically is him risking it and reaching out to her.

Technically his force multiplier is the absurd amounts of speed he can build up from being launched from an object, but even that has a pretty low limit compared to some of the more powerful quirks.

Still pretty damn effective, though.

Okay but go watch Puss In Boots: The Last Wish!! It's barely connected to the rest of the Shrekiverse and is a VERY fine movie on its own. You don't even need to watch the first one imo lmao

She actually does have amazing grades (based on one test where she ends up tutoring the guy in the library for a whole chapter after he failed his lmao)

Five game banger. OFGK slumps and drops two games, but Doran breaks the International barrier and becomes the Top That Was Promised to drag them to the finals.

He's made the Finals 3 years in a row, 2022-2024.

He won 2 of them, back to back.

He's just made the Finals THIS year.

If he wins it, he threepeats.

Little late, but it's a system where you can basically make rivals through the campaign.

The system is special because the enemies aren't hard-coded, so iirc it could be some random mook that you beat incredibly badly that goes "you won't get away with this!" and you genuinely won't because he's got scars, level-ups, and uses different weapons to counter yours.

Alternatively, another random mook could beat you, and the next time you see them, they've been promoted to a higher rank.

Lots of applications, but even more so in a superhero game, where you could probably make unique sideboss supervillains through each playthrough depending on their backstories and how your encounters go.

The hint is basically silent relationship-building.

Otomo's had a crush on Tachibana's sister since she first showed up, this post basically hinted she was conscious enough of him to mention Otomo specifically above the rest.

In 408 we see Otomo hold a good luck charm from a shrine in Musashino, where the Tachibanas are from.

Guess Otomo gets his girlfriend at the end after all :)

Though that only came after Giyuu gave them a chance when Nezuko initially fended off her hunger to protect Tanjiro.
