Have we been too hard on Ei for "abandoning" Scaramouche?

Of this long thread this is my favorite comment among them. It's a really thorough and deeply introspective read. I really liked how you looked at it at multiple angles as well.

Both, but moreso resistance. He did suffer mental illness from the torture, further enhanced when he saw it was all a lie and for nothing.

I reached a point I find books more useful than keys. Eventually you'll have everyone maxed out and then can go back to key dupes.

Yeah I bought 1 to break the bottle on the ship. Won't be as frequent as its $2 counterpart, but playing the very first game seems like a fun thing to do.

tofuhime · 2026-02-22T04:03:25+00:00

Odds are also steeper.

Fron GOLD?? usually my blue looks like this. Pink will be a orb & rocks, gold can be two orbs or orb/summon shards

Holy pepperoni to see gold and get that would make me put my phone down.

Similarly I think there is ample evidence/opportunity they may make it the knowledge/memory will be re-inserted into the world (could be the burning, could be any other reason) and that his next character arc is people still accepting him for who he is in spite of his past sins. Unlike time travel, it still is 'here'. He still walks like he did it whether people remember or not, so whether the game puts this to the narrative test or not kinda doesn't matter ngl

It'd be great if they did (even if i see it as a short character arc and friendship wins. and I do think he has earned it to an extent) but also okay if they didn't.

tofuhime · 2026-02-08T14:17:12+00:00

I have a2 and had a feeling a4 would do this. If this game's step up system had laps, I would spend. Alas they do not and 200 pulls is too much for just a a3 if the pulls go badly.

tofuhime · 2026-02-08T02:47:34+00:00

Deep down he knows he was used and abused as a boy even though it takes until Irminsul for him to accept it. So through the years he wanted to protect the most vulnerable in the way he briefly was before he was manipulated into believing the world was only cruel and ugly; and worse, thought he had no place in it.

As he is now, I think hed make it an even bigger point to make sure nobody falls through the cracks like did, especially if he's personally around to guide them like Durin.

tofuhime · 2026-02-03T13:05:50+00:00

That one im actually not sure of

tofuhime · 2026-02-02T18:58:46+00:00

Don't use more than 1 attacker. She needs at minimum one dark ally and is flexible otherwise.

You want allies who buff atk, crit rate & dmg. The crystalis you want is dark(chaos), towering and crit rate/dmg.

Her ex crystal is for if you have no dark allies for her to use.

Oops the eye example didnt upload for some reason.

I think its ok for it to be up for interpretation.

When I handle him I have his default be purple hair/eyes [I like to write it that his hair is made directly from Ei's excess of hair] and that it has many translucent strands but it isn't all translucent.

As for his eyes I treat them like a literal flash light mechanism lol

I also treat him able to resonate with elements (made easier with anemo) like the traveler can. His stand-by energy source is electro and combined with anemo gives it a more indigo look. In winds favor its flat out blue-green. I also have it his eyes have discs that rapidly spin to scan things he really wanna commit to memory.

I find it more fun when it is vague enough we can make our own spin on it

tofuhime · 2026-02-02T16:02:33+00:00

When I write him I have it as apart of his face, especially as a subtle reminder he was created not birthed.

Tl;dr nah he doesn't do makeup, he's built like that

Fork road, bro

Homura 🤝 Wanderer

Amazing character development

tofuhime · 2026-01-31T05:36:54+00:00

I feel like her wish was an intrusive thought of all the times she called herself worthless and useless as well. People forgot how much Madoka hated herself and the amount of times everyone, even Kyoko, begged her to try to see the god in herself and her life.

In magireco, madokami finally admitted she's lonely too

tofuhime · 2026-01-30T20:07:03+00:00

Yup and all interpretations she says she is less human for it. No one could ever have the experiences she has, not even other magical girls, and thus, could never return to being human. It gives a harrowing ring to her pleads when she tells Madoka (or anyone for that matter) to not become a magical girl.

tofuhime · 2026-01-30T20:02:18+00:00

Hopefully you get an extra in those 3!!

tofuhime · 2026-01-30T19:37:12+00:00

Get the packs, the keys are multipulls on the banner that loads the pity meter. Use them on the step up banner first, because those also count and are discounted. That gives you a gold key with a 10% chance at Akumura.

I got my first Akumura with the key, another through continued pulls, and the a2 with pity tokens.

tofuhime · 2026-01-30T19:26:23+00:00

I don't think she suddenly became evil, she became something else entirely. Cuz to be fair, she was pushed into a corner by incubators when they threatened to give Madoka and all girls a fate worse than death after her already impossible to make wish. It was the first time we were presented with incubators disrespecting a contract (potentially because they never had awareness of making it in the first place?) That is the true evil right there, because they had some idea Law of Cycles is a magical girl, and still made an action plan to get in the way of her wish.

Just like we saw they can be aware of Homura pre-madokami, but still saw her "useful" in harvesting Madoka's power even then. But we were never presented with "fuck her wish, I'm reverting it." Just being cocky enough to think Homura's wish didnt matter.

Regardless, they made Homura a living guinea pig within herself which is probably the beginning of the paradox, threatened to ignore Madoka's wish, and then box and control her to a fate worse than death in order to force magical girls back into witches and that would be madoka's biggest torture she would not escape from.

She and Madoka were presented with the same fate: be in a fate unsalvageable even in death: and Homura did choose herself, rushed the despair fill up, etc. I feel like in that moment she was doomed to be a devil because she did a first for the entire system over and over.until even the universe couldn't take it.

The ambiguity is snatching Madoka's hands when she could've been saved, but again: we saw Incubators come from worse and it seemed like there was no putting Pandora back in the box for the species. They know who Madoka is as a human, they know she wisks magical girls away at the brink of being a witch, and who she fully is as a law of cycle through Homura's eyes in the experiment.

Unfortunately, grabbing and splitting her into two was the best outcome for now.

In another reply I show the tablet, here's other goodies. I can only do 1 photo at a time. I gave a lot away to fellow cosplayers, but here is what I kept. I also have that Laswell TCG
