I love this artist but I'm always confused if they're drawing Sebek or this character that I don't know
>>499874763Huh, don't recognize it. The one guy looks a ton like time-skip Sebek, though, you're right.
Treysis do you like his feet
Hansamu
>>499895187If viru didn't get to wear a skirt, then who will
>>499899464Epel
>>499877363Trey is the past version of Sebek's dad
>Yuu is a multimillionaire and gets kissed by supermodelsI won't fall for slander saying this guy's a loser
>>499895187happy that he didn't get pumpkin'ed until chapter 5
>>499919394Hopefully they decide against transforming the boys. I grow tired of seeing my boy lose and get humiliated all the time.
Used my first retry ticket for the book 4 boss battle. I felt pretty humiliated and crushed, like I didn't deserve to see the story continue. Of course I could've spent all my gems, did 100s of history lessons to get honey and boost my cards, do 100s of alchemy lessons to level up spells, or play the jewry gacha machine to gain a favorable card like lab Sebek.But I didn't do any of that stuff.If a game asks me to throw away either my time, money, or dignity, I will choose my dignity every time
>>499924130If you don't want your boy to get transformed during Halloween, then your man has to be an SSR. And sadly, Vil has been possessed by a ghost and turned into a puppet during that holiday. He will be a pumpkin.
>>499928930Don't feel too bad, the book 4 boss battle is the first noticeable bump in difficulty, book 5's shouldn't be too hard
>>499929339Fine but I'm not happy about it
>>499924130but it'll be a great bonding experience, also they get to bicker about who was the ugliest pumpkin
>>499882845Will the other 2 appear in Leona's dream
>>499948856Epel/Rook weren't in Vil's and Jade/Floyd weren't in Azul's, so seems unlikely. Kalim was in Jamil's but that was a special situation.Would be kind of funny if the Neige/Kalim role for Vil/Jamil was originally filled by Malleus for Leona, but since Malleus is busy, Leona is just kind of hanging out.It's prolly gonna be Cheka or Farena, though.
>>499951929>servant malleus slowly morphs into OB Malleus>"SURPRISE"
>>499928930I understand anon, the mid game gets you in a konpeito drought
>>499951929Is this vil's turn to have a slanderous dream self
Did azul get a new story outfit btw
>>499975120Not really besides what his true octomerform is actually like. Some people had thought his grey skin was because of his overblot, but that turned out to be false.
>>499975749I wanted him to be purple...
>>499981315You think he would when the others had Overblotted, their skin changes to a different pale shade. But for Azul, it's his normal self with the inky accessories and Black Rock Shooter sans undertale eye flare.
>Skully design is so boring that it's impossible to know if this is a yuu or an actual canon character
Malleosis how do you feel about getting content after so long
>>500003224Happy cus finally, some good fucking food, but same time lowkey sad because you know we're not gonna get any again for a good long time after a buffet like this.
Including the login greeting, Trey's bday references two different presents he got from Rook. And something he gets from Riddle. And there is a voiceline about a thing he got from Jamil.Is there a TreyCate anti on the dev team or.
>>500011690They're obviously setting up their book 7 conflict.
So out of all Playful cards, which ones are the best other than Kalim?The banners will all share a pity right?
>>500013747Cater's dream is gonna be him married to Trey, Trey's dream won't have Cater in it at all, and Imma cry.
>>500011690it's that same one treydev that's into treyvil. he simply must be stopped!!!!!
>>500014393Yes
>>500005421they can as long as they have another common victim
>>500014393I think Ace is good too?
>>500011690>not as beautiful as vil>not as sexy as leona>not as peppy as rook>not as quirky as jade>not as much shared history as riddleyandere cay incoming
>>500042743
>>500042936I find it funny that Finkelstein, the one who spent most of the movie just being controlling towards sally, was the one that had to deal with this rowdy quartet and failing at itI guess sons are more difficult than daughters
>>500005421maybe if you beg enough they'll have another bday duo
>>500042743there's no way idia is any good at giving head, he has shark teeth and no experience
What would they rename Skully in EN localization?
>>500063928Well yeah, that's why he's giving it to Vil. He's NRC's blowjob champion
>>499998632can his label stop him before he releases a song about how he wants to kill his ex
>>500068462What label? Cater's never going to have any fame, he will be an ignominious office worker for the rest of his life
>>500069476I think it's funnier if he does achieve fame but he still metaphorically self-immolates
Flight exams. What a waste of time. I have over 500 smorgasboards. Stop forcing me to waste my LP on them to advance in events
>>500070671but think about the 1000 lessons rewards
>>500023750final prediction, dead, nerd or amish?
>>500083524I gotta go with dead. They keep emphasizing how weird it is that he's never heard of Malleus. Kind of sounds like he died before Malleus was born?Other people are saying we can't see his ears, so we don't know if he's fae or not.Plot Twist: Skully is Raverne.
>>500086162we're going to have to exorcise him...
>>500090575Shouldn't we call Rollo for this?
>>500064223Sean Bonehead
>>500103882And after the initial shock there will be waves of en fans declaring that not only is Sean Bonehead actually a good name, it is in fact a BETTER name, and they will angrily argue with anyone who expressing any opinion on maybe the original name being not that bad.The fan girls violently defending “Ernesto” are so ridiculous, all you can do is laugh.
>>500106689I really hate modern EN localization.
>>500090805rollo's punishment is that his only priest role left is officiating the marriages of gay couples
>>500113808Rollo manning NRC’s confessional. Listening to Malleus wax poetic for hours about how fascinating the angry priest is, much like a gargoyle, which he means as a compliment
>>500114789he also holds the nbc confessionals, where the mobs repent about having fights about who is the prettiest nrc guy
>>500121492Post-social Rollo be like “I have made a terrible mistake.”Idia’s NBC fan club getting into fisticuffs with Azul’s NBC fan club. There is a suspicious lack of Malleus fan club because Malleus has chosen Rollo and they want to be respectful of the relationship.
>>500086162speaking of raverne, if he is crowley what do you think the explanation is going to be?>he's good but the council didn't let him approach malleus>he's bad and never cared about his son>he's being skinwalked/impersonated>he's not raverneI side with skinwalking, raverne kicked the bucket and something else is using his body
>>500128823I enjoy the Crowley=Raverne theory just because it pisses so many people off for some reason.The question with skinwalking tho is: why didn’t Lilia recognize him? He used to hang out with people in those masks and tell them apart from each other all the time. And Raverne was 1/3rd of his throuple. If Crowley was Raverne, he’d know.But there are a LOT of things tying Crowley to Malleus, that is fact. We just dunno why. Yanaaaaa
>>500129294maybe it's something about his "aura" that makes him also feel like a different person
>>500131595I briefly had the thought that he is casting some kind of illusion so that he looks different only to Lilia. Everyone else be like “so the Headmage—really looks like Malleus, huh?” And just Lilia is like “Our Headmage? He’s 5 feet tall with blonde hair and a beer belly, that’s not how Malleus looks at all.”
The countdown begins
Groovies are peak
>>500139927
>>500140034
>>500140128
>>500140246
>>500140334
>>500140438And the song for this event is...This is Halloween
>>500140548Good luck figuring out who sings each part (all engrish)https://x.com/YuuRei20/status/1850807355635855619?t=aBLWb68-mLbLSz1et5AONw&s=19
>>500140837I cannot ducking believe they sing English. I did NOT see that coming goddamn. Ishiya is really working it. Umehara makes me melt.
>>500140837I’m torn. The guys clearly struggle with the English and it would have been fine to do it in Japanese, but I’ve seen the Japanese dub of the movie and it’s not very good. Particularly this song. It’s a kids movie, so it’s super dumbed down, just like stuff gets dumbed down in English when it’s localized for the US.
>piss filterit's so over
>>500140034Riddle looks so good>>500140438That's my Lion>>500140548Love the concept of Jamil dancing with a skeleton execution is kind of hmAlso did anyone catch his stripe of pink hair?
Looks that not only the ssrs boys are singing, I hear everyone here
>>500142178>piss filterWat?
>>500140837I can't WAIT for this song to be removed for English release.
>saw some people on xitter claiming we learn literally nothing about Skully in the finaleLmeow is that true, what the fuck
>>500143556We learn he's an NRC alumni from hundreds of years ago
>>500143556He's a 16 year old friendless loner who's a Jack skellington/Halloween fanboy, what else do you want to know?
>>500143916Ok then I trust anons in this thread more than xitter
So will those same boys come back for the Christmas side or will we get the others boys be part of it? Has your oishi even been a good boy this year? For Azul, probably not.
>le amnesiaI truly hate this. Like why not let them keep their memories and just leave the story in the vague limbo of non-canonicity that literally every other event is in.
>>500144429Not even Malleus is spared from that, huh. You would think so being an all powerful wizard, but guess not. You really have to be on Sebastian Michaelis demon god levels to keep the memory,
>>500144058He was called the Halloween king. He would travel to countries all over the place promoting Halloween, and there aren’t very many pictures/portraits of him around. Crowley says he’s the reason why Halloween is celebrated like they do so everyone should be grateful to him. A graduate of NRC means he lived past the age of 16, so it’s interesting he was 16 in the book.
The rhythmic is for a limited time only, guess it's because of copyright, rip for EN
>>500144714I'm all in for content from past NRC graduates that already left their legacy. Looking forward for this card.
Tune in next year suckers.
>>500144714How will EN fans cope that he's dead and a over a thousand years old?>>500144714More reason for Japan to hate Westerners. At this point with the shit going on recently around localization in anime/manga/video games, I can't blame them.
>>500144458Much more hansamu than this pose.
>>500145020>Nooo you can't ship Skully with Sebek now, skully is now a ghost who died of old age! Problematic!
>>500145094Looks more mature in that picture, might be during his adulthood
Are they going for the Christmas side with the other half?
>>500145652Most likely. Gonna be interesting if they do address Christmas and the next place is Christmastown, where Santa Claus lives. Will we get Oogie this time or a new OC? If Christmas does get namedropped as that, then that all confirms Jesus is real in Twisted Wonderland.
>>500145780Leona briefly mentioned Scully overblotting and for half a second I thought that he’d overblot into Oogie BoogieAlso Christmas isn’t jesus in Japan, it’s romance, so that’ll be fun. A shame they used all the best characters at once this year though.
>skully is deadThere's... room for everybody, let's just say that!
>>500146109Will they even touch the romance aspect or go for the more importance of family? Will TWST finally be a BL game?
>>500145780They would have to bring Skully again and Yanafied Santa. If Skully was promoting Halloween in every corner, then there must have been a Santa promoting Christmas who was a graduate from RSA.
Oh my god there’s someone who tried to subtitle the rhythmic without knowing the words to the original song and they got the lyrics completely wrong.This is basically the same thing that happens when fan translators try to subtitle in Japanese. Only it’s English to English and they STILL got it completely wrong haha.https://x.com/ofignihyde/status/1850799104432955587?s=46&t=qs8BhJ1seE3GXIJ7jS8_Iw
Did Skully die a virgin
>>500146393That would be a funny end that though the boys should feel disgust towards a RSA boy, they don't as much because they think he is a good person.
So... a whole year before seeing the sequel or we'll see oogie boogie in this december?
>>500146307Dunno, depends if they try to import the overseas meaning of xmas into JP. Japan has new years for family togetherness, so that is not even slightly a concept at xmas, since they're so close to one another.
>>500146547I just wanna force Ace and Deuce under the mistletoe for that event. Finally get them to kiss!
>>500146415Why the hell is the song in Engrish anyway when it was translated normally in the JP dub of the movie?
>>500146740The JP dub isn't...great. I do wish they'd just sung it in Japanese because singing in English was too tall an order for the VAs of Idia, Jamil and Sebek and they just sound like different characters now. Leona sounds like Leone but that's because Umehara only has one voice he can do. A goddam sexy one, too.
>>500147010Now I have to test each boy singing in English with the AI voice.
>>500147107Oh pleeease. Maybe we can layer them over the rhythmic.
Are the R boys not singing? I only heard SSR and SR boys.
I am 80% sure that Malleus doesn't sing in this. I could catch Idia and Jade of the backup singers, for sure. Komada really has shite pronunciation for someone who grew up in Germany.
OK everybody rate your Halloween experienceSpectral > NBC > Glomasu > Terror > Playfulland Glomasu was higher but then I remembered all the time wasted on goats and croissants and shit. Might come down to what flavor you prefer, Hunchback or Nightmare I guess.
With Nintendo releasing a complete version for Pocket Camp, with everything unlocked, is there a chance TWST will try to do the same? Would you pay $10 for a mobile game? Would the complete TWST version have one more round of updates or have changes to be exactly like EN (removing Sam's tattoos and Neige's Heigh Ho cover)?
Man Leona is always so on point, never any mischaracterization with that guy, love it. Shoved Skully right into that grave thing, spent the whole game being annoyed, irresistible to dogs and bickering with Malleus, just how I like it.
>>500151986Does that mean there is hope his dream in book 7 will be amazing that it could make up how bad his story was in Book 2?
>>500152104I dunno if there is any dream good enough to make up for how Book 2 was but we can hope. I believe in Leona.
>>500140246don't think i've ever seen a grin that big on jade. cute.
>>500140034>Riddle gets the kusogakisCute!
So was Skully pretending to be retarded or was he missing memories
>>500144769Aniplex USA calculating exactly when they need to go EoS to avoid the backlash of losing out on the main attraction of the game's largest event of the year
>>500152912He sounded like he remembered NRC there at the end. He also thought he was 16, when he had to have been older than 16 when he died if he graduated NRC and then traveled around for years, right? Right? Unless he was a child prodigy? Maybe his ghost-self was from before his living-self enrolled at NRC somehow?
>>500153057Some theorized that maybe he died at age 16 during his travels after graduating. Him being a child prodigy would line up if that was the case.
What dorm did he belong to
>>500151986Bickering with everyone actually...it was not limited to Mal.
>>500140837KINO
>>500140837yana will force them to learn english one step at a time, next step? let it go twistune
>>500154072i'm siding with the ramshackle bros on this one
>>500158738Would that mean the ghosts know or they were the ones responsible for how Skully feels towards them? Like the three always pranking him up until he graduated.
>>500160180they were his friends from the losers table
Kino...https://x.com/K__Caramel_/status/1850871504025862247?t=rD-_uNiIeQURIrnt9Zl5Eg&s=19
>>500145020Doubt it's the EN localisation's fault that it's only available for a year, JP has never given a shit about EN and EN has never given a shit about being subtle with ripping out copyrighted stuff. Probably more to do with the composer of the original song I'd hazard a guess, considering they're singing in English.
who has the best ENGRISH
so if we met 1st year skully this year, and real skully lived until adulthood seemingly, do you think next year we'll meet 2nd/3rd/4th year skully?
>>499929339>If you don't want your boy to get transformed during Halloween, then your man has to be an SSR.SSR Sebek was turned into a pumpkin, but not any R boys... This was the real halloween twst the whole time... Yana does it again
wait so if I dont finish the twistune missions before a year I lose the rewards?
>>500176614Sebek succeeds at unexpected things
>>500154176Why is the cat so grumpy
It's cute EN does this. Sure, EN, we'll wait until then for the groovies, we definitely haven't been able to see them for a year.
Will it be Deuce going up against the next rival on Halloween?
>>500176614That was the twisty twist for me, too. Sebek got pumpkin'd and I was like "holy shit they're doing it in reverse, only the SSRs are gonna be pumpkins? But it would be completely out of character for Leona to magically struggle with anyone but Malleus" and sure enough Leona kicked ass. The Rs and SRs were never systematically removed in the past, they just never showed up in the first place. Too busy asking people not to sue them, loved it so much.
>>500171128I have to say...no one, their pronunciation was hard to understand even though the song itself has easy lyrics
>>500197571I legit saw people asking if they were singing in Japanese, looks like some can't even tell that it's in english. Poor guys, voice acting is hard enough already and then they added singing on top of it and then a foreign language on top of that, plus a beloved classic song. A little too ambitious this time.
>>500198645can you imagine if they force some of them to read the valentines letters for a stream thing
>>500196849Why isn't Kalim in this collage? He was the final girl of the playful land event
>>500201024yeah but he didn't do anything
>>500201024Maybe it's for a different collage for the ones who would Talk no Jutsu the person. Like how Idia was the one who was able to relate to Rollo. But Sebek would be this Skully too.
Everyone is talking about This is Halloween cover which is great I won't comment on pronunciation nor accent because English isn't my mother language eitherBut, I have to say Skully's battle theme bangs too
so can anyone explain for someone dumb dumb like me? is skully confirmed a ghost or just confirmed from the past?
>>500198645Honestly...you gotta be extremely talented and well versed in English to sing any Disney song. In a hypothetical scenario we get Oogie boogie and do the same with This is Halloween with his song, they gotta hire an american voice actor to do it. The song is really hard to sing.https://youtu.be/clURHZ5TfCQ?si=zh1MegUvtlrQcCxr
>>500203404Long story short, he's a historical figure
Personally, I thought the Marilyn Manson cover of the song was better.
>>500203676>american voice actorSure, if they bring in an american to voice whoever the character itself is for the entire event. I can't see them going "Sorry extremely-famous-VA that we hired for this project, we're replacing you with someone who can actually speak English for the big song." A no-name VA might agree to that, but I can't imagine a big-name signing a contract with those stipulations.Or maybe they would. Would be weird as hell, but it's a weird game so who knows.
>>500203404Agreeing with >>500203863.They never actually say the words "he is dead" or "he is a ghost" or anything. All we know is he graduated NRC hundreds of years ago and didn't know any modern day stuff when interacting with modern-day people in the book. Most players are assuming this means he died before stuff like Malleus being born, but the game never explicitly says "he is dead."And assuming something "this is canon" when the game doesn't explicitly write it out is always dangerous.
Prefect and Skully together with the other Ramshackle residents.
>>500205605Mayhaps he's still alive and kicking it, continuing to spread the good word of HalloweenNot that it matters, of course, he's never gonna show up again. They only got the license for the song for a year, after all
>>500206887Maybe they'll license "what's this" for next year and Yamaguchi will come back to rock a solo instead of being a backup in his own event. He got more stage time than Fellow and Rollo though, gotta give him that.
>>500207825So will Ruggie, Silver/Lilia, and Kalim sing with him?
Singers confirmed: Leona, Jamil, Sebek, Riddle, Trey, Jade, Idia.
Btw I saw Danny Elfman listed in the credits, I don't know but I find it funny, I wonder how he got notified about this project
>>500211393Kalim sang in Playfulland so seems unlikely. Jack is a maybe, though.
>>500211393Please don't let Lilia sing
>>500215272Elfman Danny
>>500215752He can sing a lullaby. So it's not like he's doing a screamo version of What's This.
Colored https://youtu.be/xBKnqNwlYdU?si=U68budmPocRkUlj5
>>500214009>>500222892I thought Trey can't sing/act.
>>500205605also I find the "he died at nrc" posts kind of jumping the gun?
>>500205605So how does it explain the last kiss on the hand everyone felt/heard before going back to NRC?
>>500223396They do that all the time. And they get real mad real quick if you point out that they're making stuff up and calling it canon.
>>500223873It's not explained. That's the point. It's possible they were just half-remembering him doing that all the time when they were in the book, a memory that was stirred alive by seeing the portrait of him, since they would naturally associate the sight of him with an action that he was constantly doing.If the game hasn't said he's a ghost, then he is not canonically a ghost.
>>500223396>died at NRCThat doesn’t make sense though? Crowley says he traveled all over the world post-graduation. Why would he go back to the school? Ever? Maybe he went straight into the astral realm like Lilia did and didn’t get out in time or something. Seems like his vibe.
>>500224104I cringe with EN mourning him like he died yesterday. They took for granted he's a ghost or that he died of young age.
>>500224104Then what will be the excuse to bring him back for his SSR card like Rollo and Fellow? They can't just age him up if he's still alive. Unless it's in the second part of TNBC that is when we will get him as still a teen.
>>500205605Did Sebek call him ningen during the event? If he did then I'm probably personally on the "he's dead" team...
>>500224612He just materialize, take lessons and give lore how NRC used to be back in the days
>>500224541Reminds me of other stuff that EN just decides is canon, like Falena being king and Kalim going to school, etc. It was literally never said anywhere, people just decided to “connect the dots” and what did we get? Falena isn’t king and Kalim has never been to a school. They looove making things up and telling people what to think.
>>500224612The same excuse as why Crowley attends lessons that are being taught by himself.
>>500225180I think Sebek did call Skully a human.
Looking up Skully's name in JP with terms like ghost and dead, and it seems like they are also on-board with Skully being dead/a ghost too.
>Skully is obviously dead>"Yeah no we can't say it's canon... no... no..."
>>500227426That’s my suspicion too, but lots of people thinking a thing doesn’t mean it’s canon. Maybe it’ll get confirmed when he shows up at ramshackle and the ghosts are like “how come this guy gets cool ghost-clothes when we’re all naked.”
>>500227789Yeah well you know what else was obvious? That Sebek’s dad met his mom in Briar Valley. Turns out that’s not true either. A thing doesn’t become canon when enough people repeat it on xitter.
>>500228202Like how people assumed Azul's octo-merform skin is purple like Ursula, but he's grey like his Overblot and yet people still draw him ourple to this day?
>>500228556>leaving plot points up to popular votegod that sounds like something aniplex usa would do, doesn’t it. “Want more skully? If the #skullyisalive hashtag gets 1,000 posts, we’ll give him a backstory that makes it happen!”
>>500228747Yeah, and how people assumed that “child of man” was Malleus’ special little pet nickname for just the prefect. And no, he uses it for everybody. Even Lilia uses it. And there are fanfic to this day that come out with lines gushing over the prefect’s special, one-of-a-kind nickname from malleus, as if Floyd isn’t the only non-diaso person he refers to by his first name, which will never not be funny.
>>500229316Malleus never uses something like Child of Sea if people like Azul or Jade are around, right? Or he still uses Child of Man just cause they are living on land.
>>500229576child of fish would be hilarious
>>500229576It’s explained in the novelization but in Twst everyone who is not a fae is called human. Ace literally says so, mermaids, beast men etc, all called human.The game doesn’t spell it out for us like that but everybody still calls all the mermaids and Savanaclaw guys human and they never argue about it so it might be true in the game too.This is actual-game info btw. EN wanted to make a “I know you are but what am I” joke in spectral soirée and thus fucked up the continuity, but there are actually no lines about anyone arguing over being called human or child of man or whatever.
>>500230072So EN wants an excuse racism is in a game to say they will get rid of racism. JP fandom thinks Leona calling Jack as 'my dog' is cute while Western EN thinks it is racist that a wolf-beastman would be equivalent to a pet. They even forget Sebek calls everyone human, even towards Savannaclaw and the Octavinelle trio.
>>500230713I’ve seen en people talking about sebek’s equal-opportunity-human calling thing and some seem to think that the fairies separate humans and non-humans by people who live for hundreds of years and those who don’t. We’ve gotten no hints that mermaids and beastmen have longer life spans after all. And, sure. Whatever makes them happy I guess.The “my dog” thing was totally a lost in translation bit. He says ウチの犬, not 俺の犬, which is different. ウチ is closer to “our” than “my” in that context and honestly really is cute as fuck. They’ll prolly remove it from EN though. Based on how they removed Rollo from his own banner ads on en Twitter, I think they take fan opinions into account for how they change the game for Americans. theres a line that be too easy to misunderstand as something it’s not? A double entendre? Something that requires critical thinking? Then it’s out. Twst4kids.
>>500228556Wtf are you talking about?There's a big difference between making stuff up and making it obvious for the audience, some of you guys are so obsessed with twitter that you're meticulously making sure everything is canon when sometimes the game is clearly telling you Skully is dead without telling you directly that Skully is DEAD. Sometimes you don't need the game to spoonfeed you info, you're just lacking media literacy.
>>500231898Nah man, I’m taking no risks with this game. People always think they know what’s going on and then get proved dead wrong.Do I think skully is dead? Obviously.Am I going to tell people that skully is canonically a ghost? No. Because canonically we haven’t been told that he is a ghost.
>>500231703It has always been TWST4kids in EN with things like removing Sam's tattoos, changing all Japanese meals to American (even if the voice line says a JP dish), no swearing, etc. They'll reach Ace Attorney localization if they decide to localize another character's name as a pun. We already got it with Ernesto.
>>500232328The Ernesto thing is rough, for sure. It’s like they’re pushing boundaries to see just how far they can derail the game into something it’s not. Removing mentions of Falena from book 2, removing Azul’s fat story from book 6, literally everything about Jamil? JP and en already aren’t the same game, and now they’re getting even more blatant about it.
>>500232315>Nah man, I’m taking no risks with this game.There are no risks anon, it's a game about edgy teenage boys. It's not that serious
>>500233252I’m big on not passing off headcanon as truth. I am wholly convinced that skullface is dead and showed up in the book as a ghost that was inexplicably dressed in halloweentown in the exact same way he was styled when he was alive while everyone else got new outfits. Even the “former ramshackle student” theories sound cool, I’m on board with those too. Lots of fun to come up with possible explanations and to talk about.Still not canon, though.
>>500232769It is like other terrible localizations going on with other anime/manga/video game series going on. Maybe not as bad like referencing certain modern slang or pushing feminism to the more extremes when it wasn't even a thing in the original, but we might be getting there if more people on the translation team is ready to push their bias and beliefs in someone else's work and get PAID for it.
>>500234062That’s a good point. They seem to be trying to force it in line with the current Disney…thing…that’s going on.
Eureka!
if skully isn't truly a ghost, the idea of a time loop where the boys indirectly help create the popular concept of halloween by changing skully's mind is really funny
hopefully Skully, unlike the rest, remembers the group even until adulthood>his next halloween book has a dedication page that says "to my beloved Sebek, who I couldn't confess to before fate separated us"
Skully may or may not be dead, but the thread definitely will be if it's not bumped from page 10!
I wish there was a relative of Leona who was like pic related. The total opposite of him. Wimpy and conniving.
>>500259575A robin hood event would be nice, everyone gets to furry cosplay
>>500260076Rook in green tights would be nice...
>>500231898Who is bebeh in that pic?
>>500260381Our sonJokes aside making yume fankids is so hard, been trying to come up with one for weeks now...Ferro looks like the type of guy that would name his firstborn with his own name and just call him Fellow Junior (Or in my case, Jonathan Junior, or simply JJ for the funsies)
>>500240235I couldn’t believe he had that as a battle line, love it
JPsis says that Jamil being in the “I am the wind blowing through your hair” line might’ve been a shoutout to the JP dub where the line is “I am the wind blowing through black hair.” Cute.
>>500233252never thought i'd see the day that the annoying resident ferrofag comes through with a based take. and being a yumechad at that.who cares about the retarded kiddies in the fandom and their delusions. you're all posting on a mongolian basket weaving forum because you don't want to engage with that sort anyway. just lust after your boy and enjoy yourselves. i know i will.
How was Jamil able to continue to sing after the mention of spiders in the song "This is Halloween"? He was the kind to skip the cricket making appearances in the Starsending story.
>>500270651Jamil is Chrom
>>500232315>Because canonically we haven’t been told that he is a ghost.The boys feel a weird invisible force kissing their hands after they leave the book
>>500283436you could argue that justifies ghost skully in the present, but it doesn't mean the one that we met is a ghost
>>500284062Don't forget they heard and felt a kiss on their hand after coming out. As well as the fact when people get transported in the books like things don't make sense like why magic is limited at a certain range or powerful figures like Malleus and Lilia, would still be affected by it (even having their memories wiped out).
>>500284484>Don't forget they heard and felt a kiss on their hand after coming outyeah but it's just like I said, that implies ghost skully in the present day but it doesn't confirm the one we met was a ghost>As well as the fact when people get transported in the books like things don't make sense like why magic is limited at a certain range or powerful figures like Malleus and Lilia, would still be affected by it (even having their memories wiped out)I think that's a plot device because the Lost in the Book series is going to eventually get repeat boys so one of them would logically say>hey guys I remember this, I don't think we should open the book
I want a Kingdom Hearts crossover with Twst
>>500260196fox rook truthers win but with a big asterisk
>>500227789I don't think people are debating whether he's dead or not, the big question is how did we see him then>ghostly apparation>timey winey shenanigans>that skully is a fragment is og skully's heart/soul
>>500205287is there really no seiyuu that can speak english? there has to be one
>>500197463What power level will the next halloween boy be
Skully
>>500318231Still lives!
>>500323968In our hearts
>>500300673I want to see future skully
I'm new, does the game try to give a flimsy excuse for why characters like Frollo/Fellow are visiting NRC when they get their SSRs or does the game not even acknowledge it
>>500327668
Who is the bigger crybaby? Riddle, Azul, or Skully?
>>500334675I'm going with skull guy
>>500329550their personal stories don't occur in nrc so it's no problem
Final thoughts overall.TIH SSRs: Sebek > Jamil > Leona (Umehara didn't even tried to sing let's be honest)SRs: Riddle > Jade > Trey > IdiaCardsSSRs: Jamil > Sebek (why not a cute smile like Jamil?) > LeonaSRs: Jade > Trey = Riddle > IdiaSkully = Dead
>Dupe Playful Ace on the last daily 10 of his bannerFiiine Ace, I forgive you for the earlier rolls.
are any of these halloween cards meta?
>>500324975pray to saint skully for a successful halloween
>>500329550Fellow has a voice line about how he smooth-talked his way in. There’s a mistranslation out there saying that he snuck in that EN people love to repeat but that’s not actually what he said. People know he’s there.
>>500305312Komada (Jade) was raised in Germany and they say that he speaks Japanese, German and English. It’s in his profile in his agency’s website and everything. He voices a German-speaking character in some anime I forget. But his pronunciation is not great.Ishiya (Sebek) has weirdly good pronunciation but most can’t English for shit, and why would they, really. Local VA is the perfect job for someone who sucks with foreign languages.Yamashita(Ace) is apparently studying and will do short English bits at overseas panels but leaves a lot to be desired.
Probably we are gonna get story update next month because Savanaclaw will be the radio station special
>>500367568I saw JP commenters say things like how Jade's really was the best and you can tell he spent time abroad, but I honestly thought his was the most painful to listen to, it reminds me of that forced announcer-style voice that you hear in commercials in Japan sometimes.Sebek's I kinda agree, I wonder if it's the training from hypmic; I feel like most of the VAs do a decent job at English there (except Jade's I guess)
>>500369536It’s always hard to tell with those. Outside of that special with Midorikawa and Kato they’re usually timed around the seiyuu’s schedules, not the game. Maybe tho, who knows.
>>500367568is the fragaria penguin actually bilingual or does he also only know some bits
>>500378505His agency profile and wiki don’t say anything about speaking any other languages. Also he took over the role of Frozen’s Olaf after the original guy was canceled for drugs, huh.
Yumes that are able to replicate the game artstyle are amazing, ngl... They're living the dream of making "official" art
Why relying on luck when you can simply know when you're gonna get a card or not?
>>500387469Forgot to say, it only took me 2 single pulls this time.A new record!
>>500387568JPsis had a screenshot of three hallo-Sebek SSRs in one ten-roll, blew my mind
>>500382970Is this this style easy or hard?
>>500395121holy fuck, that floyd
>>500395121Jade duo with JamilFloyd duo with Malleus
>>500395121SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEL SEX
>>500395121Goddamn
Haven’t been this tempted to throw cash into a gacha hole since tamashna Leona
they have to pose them together on the day of, like they always do. w-will they hold hands, anons?
>>500399818I love Floyd’s look. I like to imagine him finding anything vaguely ocean-motif-adjacent and being like “that me.”
>>500395121Based eelfag on the art staff. They always deliver
>>500400056
>>500395121Jade looks like he broke his one of his arms
so who's getting new year'd this year>riddle>ace>jack>azul>jamil>epel>idia>lilia>malleus>silver
>>500395121gosh how am i supposed to resist their fuck me eyes
is this vil's weird tooth that sometimes is there but sometimes isn't
>>500420081Indeed it is. Absolutely no idea why chibi Vil has a fang while he is never depicted as having one in regular art- maybe in development he was going to have the fang, they decided to cut it at some point but never updated the chibis to reflect, probably deeming it not worth the effort and by this point there's too much of it to commit for such little gain. Personally, I like to believe that he does have it and it's retractable, which is why you don't see it in art.
>>500421289it's pretty weird because they fixed cater's red eyes and I think some vil chibis don't have it
>>500420081Mama Schoenheit is/was a fae
>>500421289Later I'll tey to see which vils have them, silk vil has it, I remember that
>>500435854Can't remember any of them *not* having it, maybe tapis but if so that's the only one
>>500426038No she's a vicuna
Maybe she's a fish
>>500411568Octa and Igni don't have new year SSRs yet, so either Azul or Floyd and Idia gets another SSR.
>>500446570no way it's floyd, he has 2 event SSRs already (Beans 2 and Stitch) if octa gets one it'll be azul
>>500436945All of them have it actually
>>500451904Year of the Octopus I am here for it
Skullbek is the new meta
this is kinda like Your Name
Jealous Skully
no one believes malleus about his priest boyfriend, so who's going to believe sebek's ghost boyfriend
>>500400056>>500404171
>>500395518Floyd doesn't approve of jade's new boyfriend
>>500472698Skully should possess silver to kiss sebek
I know the timelines are fucked up by design and it doesn’t matter but gonna ask anyway, do we think that this was possibly some prequel drama? Jack got the idea of using the kids to kidnap people from skully and skully got the idea to spread different Halloween traditions from NRC?
Why I'm not getting Zeros frame? I already completed the story
>>500421289he's a vampire for realsies, he wasn't culturally appropriating
so I have a tingling feeling that Riddle is getting New Year'd because I don't think they'd make a hometown event for him and he already was in a book event
Here I though Yamaguchi was singing in the Halloween song and he’s not listed in the credits, huh. Guess Skully doesn’t sing after all.
>>500517274Only Fellow gets to be part of the OST as speaking voice.
Jacksisters...
>>500521515I give up
remember when they told us Epel couldn't have realistic proportions in his dream world bc he knew that it would never come true despite that being his dream? crazy right?soooo crazy that they gave the most pragmatic character a dream SSR instead of the most idealist character hahaidc anymore fuck this game, it's not worth of my time, uninstalling fr, I'll be back when there's a new jack card
>>500521515Did you think Andrew Tate had a help in boosting Ruggie's popularity.
New Azul figure
>>500521515THATS MY BABY
>>500522557That was a surprise. I hope more follow.
>>500521515Slightly adorable. Not cute, only slightly adorable.But damn they don't give a shit about some characters right? Feels bad for the jacksisterLook at the azul figure, Malleus was the protagonist of the event and Azul was the one that got the SSR.Are they that desperate for money or...?
>>500523137Azul was the one that got the figure*Looks like I made a mistake! How embarassing, how rare!
Gargoyle's out. Which club you want next?
>>500522557If we get Playfulland LeonaI am not strong enough
>>500521515It just occurred to me that it would’ve been funny if Ruggie had been fat
