Let me tell you how much I've come to love Renko since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word love was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the love I feel for Renko at this micro-instant.For her. Love. Love.Can we get this thread to archive with more than 100 images this time?
Renko thread!!!!!
She looks like she enjoys anal sex
>>50034906She doesn't enjoy any sex, even if she wants to
>>50034918That's why she grooms her brother!
What's your opinion on the Renko becoming Yumemi fan theory?
We prefer Japanese women!
>>50034925i think you should kys for posting such a retarded pic
>>50034925Renko going back in time to keep yuriing out with Maribel! Cute and canon!
>>50034925It's possible theoretically, but Yumemi's 18, has red hair, different name, and a similar but distinct temperament. It's more likely that Renko is a sort of reboot of Yumemi, or if you want to believe 98hus exist, then Yumemi is Renko's descendant or something like that.
>>50034950Do we actually have a canonical age for Ranko?
>>50034960She has been in college for at least 2-3 years, and lives in the near future, so it's not really plausible to say that college age would become lower.
>>50034933Sorry I think evropean features are cuter.
>>50034981>and lives in the near futureSpace tourism is common place enough that two college students can afford it, terraforming has advanced enough that we're fostering life on asteroids, and the cities are filled with synthetic plant life. I believe the most commonly accepted time frame for the cds is a few hundred years in the future, which is more than enough time for something like that to occur.
>>50035003Space tourism is already possible, the big advancement is that in their time, it goes to the Moon. All this means is that between our time and theirs, a few more lunar missions took place. The point is specifically made in MA that college students can't afford it, which is why Maribel had to open a portal to the Moon. TGA, contrary to its name, does not take place on an asteroid. The terraforming in question is sending plants and insects alone on a space station before losing control of it, having it end up in the Lagrange point of the Earth and Moon, and finding out the plants and animals survived thru magical means. We could do that right now, but it wouldn't be advantageous. In the story, they did it because they were desperate because plant life on earth was dying.>which is more than enough time for something like that to occur.Colleges in their current form have existed for 1000 years while college age has only ever shifted back and forth by a couple of years.
>>50034994I know this is about tits but on a serious note, I think Renko is cuter, although both are adorable.
I prefer european women.
>>50034994You're not ready to hear this, but they're both flat.
>>50034870If you love her so much, I'm sure you would let her buy you a drink! Right, anon?
>>50034870>spoilerYou got it boss.>>50034925I try to be careful with how much I feed or buy into it but I treat Renko more as the spiritual successor to Yumemi more than anything else really.>>50035003>I believe the most commonly accepted time frame for the cds is a few hundred years in the futureIf you want my two-cents, it's two currently 21~23 year olds living in the early 2150s, based off some Japanese guy doing lunar math, but it's not like we've ever had a clear tell of their age anyways besides "being able to drink"
>>50035068>>50035078It was actually about the eyelids.
>>50035101Without a second thought!>>50035126>besides "being able to drink"I forgot about that one.
>>50035131You're thinking about the chinese, Japanese women have wide, bright, beautiful eyes.
I have to say, I'm glad ZUN went with the Copenhagen Interpretation rather than String Theory, which most people were expecting.
>>50034925>Orthodox genocidal, stealer of human right, someone who would employ glowniggers to make you watch the woman you love being raped and AI gen POOPED waifusAnd dropped. NOT my platonic lover Renko
>>50034870you shouldn't post things that alice would, renko. we all know you are better than this.
Renko a cute!
>>50035360Alice read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream?
>>50035502The book version had no full stop between "micro-instant" and "for you". Meanwhile the radio play ommitted the "For you." entirely. By process of elimination, we can tell Renko is most familiar with the video game and can be called both a big nerd and a pseud.
>>50035360And what's wrong with Alice? The only difference between her and Renko is that Alice is a cute friendly autist and not a criminal. Otherwise, they're not that different, anon. If you like Renko, you have no reason not to like Alice too!
Come on Anon, just one drink!
>>50035597Drinking what?
>>50035597Sloppy Renko, be more careful when drinking wine!
>>50035673Her being a little dyspraxic is to be expected.
Perhaps I picked some flowers for - Yes, my wife. Now, where would she be? Ah, in the future with Maribel. Anon, remember those little shot glasses.I drink my drink, sip, and I am drugged. Except, I can't drink my drink, can I, Anon?You gave me Renkolust, Anon. The knowledge of Renko, Anon, and I am trapped. Because in all this wonderful, beautiful, miraculous present, I alone am not in the FUTURE, in KYOTO UNIVERSITY, with RENKO.Never for ME to drink tea with Renko. Never for ME to destroy religious statues with Renko. Never for me to MAKE LOVE with Renko. I - I am in Hell, looking at Heaven. I am in the present, and she is in the future. And I began to HATE.
>>50035701That's the excuse she used to explain the broken Jizo statue to the police
>>50034870Since when Merry is a mega computer structure?
Why does Renko usually wear the shorter skirt?
>>50036189She just likes to move more freely, don't pay attention to it!
Labyrinth feels like a very Renko movie
>>50034870>spoilerIsn't enough that her threads always reach bump limit? Greedy Renko! Shame on you!
>>50036893Taking up the loftiest of goals is the meaning of human life, anon.
>>50037009Very mature-looking Renko, but not silly enough
>>50037039Only posted it because I'm partial to black pantyhose.even more to black pantyhose and unbuttoned white shirts
>>50037009Dressing like a old eastern European woman will maybe get you a boyfriend, Renko. Still better results than Ariya or Alice.
>>50037495How long after Alice starts doing unspeakable things to be able to compete with Renko?
Forgot to post an image.>>50037009She reminds me of someone else, especially the hat, but I can't quite tell of who.>>50037660If Alice has to adopt Renko's methods to win, did she really win? No, Alice has to win thru her own methods! At least that's what she tells herself.
>>50034960>>50034981>>50035126Will her and Merry ever graduate though?
>>50038173I honestly hope they do. I can't imagine Maribel and Renko as anything other than college students, so if the graduate, I assume the Hifuu storyline ended or something else really big happened. I feel like the Hifuu albums benefit a lot from there not being that many of them, each one has an individual identity and they're easier to read and talk about. Maribel and Renko also feel like they have arcs, which implies their stories will end at some point. I think we're around the middle point of the story right now.It's sad to think that this story will end, but the longer any story drags on, the less impactful it becomes.
Is it just me or does this thread feel way less shitposty than usual?
>>50038383The thread is still young
>>50038173That image always makes me sad...
>>50034925Isn't it more likely that the P on Renko's book stands for "physics"?
>>50038173When's the last time anything about them being Uni students even came up? In TJD I'm pretty sure Renko's preparing a paper for a conference rather than like a class and Merry seems to be living somewhere slightly further from her since they hadn't seen each other for a while at the start of the album. They might as well have already graduated at this point.
>>50038173It's inevitable, but ZUN's eternal law of nothing ever happens means that the only time we might officially see it is if it truly is the end-times somehow. I have my own thoughts over the matter though and basically just consider them 4 years into it at the minimum.>>50038383Renko threads tend to carry a certain level of quality to them as well, or at least they do more often than not.
>>50035593well, for starters, Alice is an EVROPEAN WOMAN
>>50038427I don't remember college being mentioned since MA, but all the stories after that kind of lead into each other so it makes sense they'd be more involved and focused less on the girls' routine. The main argument for them still being in college is that there is this implication in GFC that the two had only recently met, since they weren't used to each other's quirks, and if you try to calculate how much time passed from the first to the latest album, the smallest estimate is about 2 years, the longest estimate being infinity.You could argue that they were on vacation in TJD, which explains most irregularities, although them no longer being in college is also possible.I guess you could say they're in superposition until college gets mentioned again.
>>50038383The rape jokes haven't started flowing in yet
How many threads have there been so far?
>>50038383Maybe the shitposters got burnout after the last thread and Ariya's ascendence.>>50038498>or at least they do more often than not.This might be a bit controversial, but I think the shitposts and the serious discussion complement each other pretty nicely.>>50038508Does that still count if she's a youkai?>>5003854717, including this one.
>>50035572just a byproduct of renko being into 90's pc gaming
>>50039805That's almost 2 centuries old for her, it's impressive how dedicated she is to old games!
I wish human girls were real
>>50039952Unfortunately, they're a Touhou thing. At least we have something to dream about...
Physics and psychology are a pretty weird combination. I wonder what ZUN had in mind giving Maribel and Renko those specific interests, although I have a theory.
>>50041601It's a classic dichotomy.
>>50041647I think it would be a better contrast if Renko was a mathematician, which is an even more exact science, or a chemist or biologist, which is less theoretical. Although there a a couple of cases of physicists and psychologists working together, so maybe there's something to that idea.
>>50035136How was the drink, Anon?
>>50042904I...I don't remember.
>>50042956Then you should take another one, and be more careful this time!
>>50043041I just realized the cider Maribel and Renko drink in DBOA is a reference to Adam's apple. It's even called "Forbidden Cider," I don't know how I didn't catch this earlier.
>>50038592>I think the shitposts and the serious discussion complement each other pretty nicelyAgreed actually, it's like a Hourai thread but wackier.>17, including this one.What the fuck...doesn't even feel correct somehow.>>50039855How easily would it be to maintain something like a still-functioning PC98 machine well over a century and a half past its relevancy? Would certain parts for it even still be replaceable by Renko's time?>>50039952Maybe technology can advance enough by the 2150s for that wish to become a reality...>>50041601>I wonder what ZUN had in mind giving Maribel and Renko those specific interestsOne deals with the invisible machinations of the physical world around them, the other deals with the inner subconscious details of the world within. They got most relevant bases for them covered with that alone.>>50038517This is going to be 100% headcanon autism for me and involve a lot of assumptions so forgive the infodumping but here's how I place the Hifuu albums chronologically with their journey through college so far:GFC - Late 2151 (First Years)CoSD - Spring/Early 2152RFTM - Fall 2152 right before their second year would start, just around this very week actuallyMA - Early 2153, but they'd presumably visit the moon themselves months later or at least try (Second Years)TGA - Early-Mid 2153, followed closely by NToJ at least two or so months laterDLFR - Mid-Late 2153DBOA - Late 2153 or Early 2154 (Third Years, though this may have even occurred closer to the end of their work on the report)TJD - (Mid)Summer 2154 (they are both imminently Fourth Years by this point, or have to be somewhat preparing for that)
>>50043175Lip gloss Renko..
>>50041601>although I have a theory.What's that theory?
>>50041601It's really simple, all of reality is consciousness and only by overcoming the false duality between psychology and physics this can be realized.
>>50043210As the subject expert on R53M, it's mentioned that it takes place in spring, most likely in late March, since the two are going to Tokyo to celebrate Higan. This means MA could take place in the summer of 2152. Tanabata also has a fixed date, meaning TJD takes place in the summer of either 2153 or 2154. I think 2153 makes more sense because TGA and NToJ take place right after each other, and DLFR and DBOA probably take place a little after. DLFA and NToJ might also take place in quick succession, since Maribel still had vivid memories of her visions. Some time has to have passed between DLFA and DBOA, since Renko had enough time to distribute Maribel's book that it developed a cult following.>>50043328Wolfgang Pauli, important early quantum physicist who had close connections to both of the main proponents of the Copenhagen interpretation, and Carl Jung once tried to create a comprehensive theory of reality which would be able to explain all consciousness, psychology, and science using a common terminology. It ended up also including a quantum explanation for something called synchronicity, in which the self undergoing individualization experiences certain coincidences that seems to defy cause and effect. That explanation is weirdly similar, at least in my opinion, to Renko's idea about macroscopic objects being subject to the Bohr model(although Pauli himself rejected the Copenhagen interpretation for various reasons). It might be a stretch, but Pauli and Jung are pretty famous, and there seems to be a pretty strong parallel.
Renko is such a cute name
rape
>>50043901This.
>>50043901Just because you don't remember consenting doesn't make it rape.
>>50043901The consent was implied.
>>50043210>How easily would it be to maintain something like a still-functioning PC98 machine well over a century and a half past its relevancyIt's hard to quantify how old computers will be seen in the future, but I imagine they're all in museums and private collections. But hey, what's time travel for? She can play any game she wants on release day. All that's left is for Merry to figure out her ability.
rape is never the anwer
>>50045451Since it's implied Tokyo downsized, there might be some conveniently-placed empty houses that might have some old devices. Of course, they would have some problems Renko would need to fix, but I don't think some small technical issues are beyond her abilities.>>50045476What if the question is "what do you call nonconsensual intercourse?"
>>50045476It's a question, and the answer is yes!
Well... it was a good thread. Too bad it ended so quickly
>>50045539Come on Renko, just because your thread didn't pass 100 posts in the first day doesn't mean it ended.

>>50045556Renko became a bit entitled since /jp/ started being obsessed with her.
What do you think Maribel and Renko were like before they met each other?
>>50047041Autistic and awkwardMaribel could barely speak Japanese and Renko could barely speak English
>>50047041I imagine Renko was way more anxious and had more existential dread>>50047054Is Merry autistic too or do people say she is because of the Renko joke spilling over?
>>50047054Maribel just couldn't keep her weebery to herself, she had to go to university in Japan, then walk around Kyoto until she found someone sitting alone, then went to her and said "You're my friend now!" which the girl didn't even really understand.Maribel isn't that extroverted, but somehow I can easily imagine her doing that.
>>50045476What if he's asking for it?
>>50043798It's my favorite 2hu name. It's cute that both Usami girls are named after flowers.
