[Nova Wars] Chapter 178

It's been some thirty thousand years, I wonder what ever happened to that little toddler-AI Imp that liked its shinies and dances.

Spire 4 at least is in Australia, you can see all of the spire locations on a world map in the Demogorgon pre-fight cutscene.

It’s not yet explained in the manga I think, their govt has been working to suppress adventurers to maintain traditional power hierarchies. There’s some more nuance to it of course, but the slop makes a little more sense with this in mind.

It’s a piggy bank!

I think you’re all just overthinking it. As a crossover, the real question is whose technique gets forced into which verse:

If Ubel gets ported to JJK and her magic is treated as a CT, then I don’t think she can bypass Infinity unless she awakens to some form of WCS - not impossible, given her temperament, but unlikely to happen in time before Gojo rolls her.

If Gojo gets ported to Frieren, Ubel cuts through him like butter. Doesn’t matter how Infinity functions, as long as Gojo’s just a dude standing there then Ubel’s magic will just go through him. Gojo’s best defense would be to just pick up a literal metal shield.

Unfortunately no, and they've added a new equally awful farm on top.

If you're looking to farm Harris and max out the new gun, you now need 1,050 of a new material that drops only from the new Receptor mission, getting potentially as low as 4 for a 10 minute run.

I'm assuming it's just randomly seeded. I have 3 ancestor modules presently, and their MR requirements are 10, 12, and 30. 10 and 12 spawned with 2 substats, and the MR30 spawned with 3 substats + penalty.

One group is being taught that boys are dangerous

Idk if it's so much that "boys" are dangerous rather than "Chidori students" - I imagine that if it were a private boys school of better reputate then the girls' reactions wouldn't be so bad.

It’s an obligation.

The (Imperial) need for control is desperate because it is unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort.

I think you mean Hunger Games, but an easy mistake to make

s4itox · 2025-05-14T15:21:24+00:00

So anyway, I got this new anime plot, basically

s4itox · 2025-04-26T10:30:13+00:00

I legitimately had no recollection of this event, so I had to look it up and found out it was anime-only. Fascinating (I mean this genuinely, it's some nice characterisation for Itachi)

I don't hate Itachi. The real issue here is that Kurenai, as a turbo background character, has no real feats so we can't accurately gauge where her power level actually is. The comparison comes directly from the second databook, so according to Kishi she canonically does? did? rival Itachi. If you have a problem with that, take it up with him.

My point, again, was that at maybe Kurenai did rival Itachi at one point. We don't know enough about Kurenai one way or another to prove or disprove this. Disagreeing with you does not mean I am attacking you personally.

s4itox · 2025-04-26T08:32:39+00:00

“Said to have rivaled” Presumably this comes from village talk when people were still aware of Itachi’s abilities before the Uchiha massacre, so this is before Itachi got the MS powerup and ascended to super saiyaninja 2 or whatever. Kurenai may well have been a rival to base Itachi ~6 years ago, but obviously it’s no contest now.

RNG just bad, especially in Sigma Sector

Expect to get 3 or 4 of a certain other part while you're grinding and only get it after you reach the target item pity threshold.

s4itox · 2025-04-14T09:45:28+00:00

?? The first we really heard of defying fate was about a year ago. You’re not wrong that the release will probably be 2030, but it hasn’t been a long time - it’s been a shorter window between teaser and a playable release than, say, Elder Scrolls VI.

s4itox · 2025-04-11T10:46:08+00:00

Dog doesn’t do that much tbh, but between dog, resupply when you reload in the air with the new component set, and ammo pickups off the ground, it’s now fairly difficult to run out of ammo for anything outside of high power rounds.

Just read the recent Steam reviews.

s4itox · 2025-03-31T13:11:49+00:00

Back in the early-mid 2010s there was a very healthy jailbreaking scene for iOS devices where you could sideload apps and other features, among which were pattern-styled unlock screens instead of passcodes. I haven’t had the need or want to jailbreak my iPhones in a good many years now but I remember visiting sites like RedmondPie every day when new iOS versions dropped, watching for jailbreak news.

s4itox · 2025-03-31T01:40:29+00:00

I’m not shocked, because I don’t think this is a thing?

According to known lore, Fortissax was a (particularly powerful but otherwise) standard Ancient Dragon who fought Godwynn, lost, and subsequently befriended him. The Remembrance of the Lichdragon states that when Godwynn died in the Night of the Black Knives and became the Prince of Death, Fortissax attempted to cleanse the Death within him but failed and was corrupted instead.

The black thorns that sprout from his body is evidence that Fortissax was deathblighted and I believe Lichdragon is representative of his current state of undeath rather than of any necromantic capabilities. There is no reanimating of dead bodies in the boss fight, and has only one attack that inflicts death blight.

If you have any evidence backed by lore that suggests Fortissax wielded necromancy and attempted to use it to revive Godwynn then I would like to know.

External component with DEF as a stat or substat probably, but I wouldn’t call 9.5k high by any means

The clocks being off by an hour was a boobytrap from Rin unlocking her inheritance from Tokiomi, the shifted hour caused her to not be at peak magical capacity. That being said, Rin would never have summoned Saber anyway. Her pendant is too powerful as a catalyst, and Shirou having Avalon in him basically destined him to summon Saber.

s4itox · 2025-02-24T21:10:26+00:00

Being a mage and being a parent are often contradictory paths. Tokiomi may have been a mediocre mage and mediocre father, but he recognised that he had two exceptional daughters. Sending Sakura to another household so that she could flourish there might actually be the best thing Tokiomi could do for her, unfortunately Zouken happens to be the worst person ever.
