How did he know?
Malkuth survives. She visits Himari in the clean up event.Decacunnies are dead.Yes they might come back but it'll take 3+ years.Pajama Koyuki is coming. She's special.

It's been a good 5 years, but everything comes to an end someday

Reactions mostly seem to be images of Kokona crying
it's funny to see all the niggas in denial about isakusan being the soul of ba and pretending eden treaty and volume f weren't and will forever remain the peak of the story.
>decacunnies are dead!>actually they can be revived>but they never were your students so whatever>actually they become your student at the last moment>also Malkuth experiences egodeath>but act-MAKE UP YOUR MIIIIIIIIND

>>557191618It tastes better that way
https://files.catbox.moe/6wky01.mp4So what will Malkuth do from now on? Even if she wants to bring back the Deca, there's no easy way to go about it is there?
>>557191638Kill it now
Cute! I wonder if they get along.
>>557191731Shrimpin' ain't easy. She's find a way.

I've played a dozen gacha games and I've noticed they always seem to end up following the same beats. FGO, priconne, GBF, etc. >Arc1>Watch Captain optimism relatable fight through the forces of evil with a laugh and smile, while making out with girls the entire time and never losing his smile>Arc 2 >Watch Captain optimism fall to despair unable to save anyone as he watches everyone he was close to die over and over, as he's powerless to do anything, and then it gets reset in the end somehow. Also the protag is notably more asexual in arc 2 and less likely to outwardly flirt with girls for some reason. >Arc 3>We ran out of ideas but we can't end the game since it still makes money
>>557190676that's just a bra.
>>557191618A-are you not supposed to do that?
>>557191618is that not how you store it?
>>557191076WHAT PART OF I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN THE HAPPY ENDING DID YOU MISS
>characters die in fiction?!?!?!>NOOOOOOOOOO, I'M BEING EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATED, AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>557192018Seiabot, how do we feel about this?
>>557191731Something something Saori-like, self-exploration and shit.

>>557190470>"Foom" (likely Fubuki from Problem Solver 68)
Nobody dies in BA, nothing ever happens>b-but YumeShe'll come back, they'll all come back.
>>557192018nothing last forever. happiness is fleetingwe are all gonna die a painful death
>>557190650Lots of threatening to quit the game if it makes them sad one more time. It appears they are not taking it well.
>>5571923122 more weeks?
>(Cross-thread)
>>557192114>>557192124Sounds like bait. I checked the bottle in my fridge and it explicitly says to store it in a cold place, i.e. the fridge.
>>557192312OSIRIS WILL RISE AGAIN
>>557192018FGO and GBF got to:>We ran out of ideas but we can't end the game since it still makes moneyBefore they even ended Arc 2.
>>557192170I mean if the players wants to spend money on the girls why write them off? Only ugly characters deserve death.
I wish I lived in Japan just so I could receive free chocolate from women.

>"we are non-existent existences we'll make our world a reality">"our god is gone and us along with him since we were only ever a means to conduct him"If we bring back the cunny, we might bring back Deca by accident, is that risk worth it /bag/? Do you want to repeat the vending machine incident? Or can Deca be reformed?
>>557192361based gooks will save BA once again
>he doesn't deep fry his ice cream before eating it
>>557192312I still don't understand what the point of Yume was. It feels like she was only used to give more depth to Hoshino
>>557192297Sorry Hoshino's struggle was too deep for you to understand. Maybe Vol 2 is more up your speed.
>>557192008Good one actually
>>557192297V1C3 buckbroke you
>>557192114>>557192124holy newfags
>>557192504bro the pixels...
>>557192361And they call themselves men? Pitiful.
>>557191910
>>557192475There are lots of other students in the game. Like Yume, the Decalolis existed to bring tragedy and drama to the story, to make it feel like stuff can actually happen.
>>557192297I kid you not that was one of the most competently written chapters in all of BA. I genuinely enjoyed it more than Vol F as a whole, since most of Vol F is fucking retarded "were not gonna make it! We made it!" kinda steaks.
>>557192538She is. Thunder Emperor might be chance for devs to goes deeper on her but i'm not holding my breath on that.
>>557192504Good job*Smoooch*
>>557192361
>decacunnies are dead for goodwhy did yongha kim greenlight this bitter scenario?? he was supposed the based one.
I would literally never stop trying to impregnate Seia. Every day I would wake her up by coming in her and every night I would cum in her right before going to sleep, which I would do with my dick stuck inside her. I would take some viagra before bed just to maintain my erection so that she'll be ready in the morning when I thrust into her like an animal and slather her in kisses. Part of our wedding vows would be to have as many children as physically possible. I wouldn't even care if she's already pregnant, I'll fuck her while she's pregnant and she'll get double pregnant. I'll fill her with so much cum every day that she'll look pregnant even when she isn't (which she'll never be after we're married) I would do everything in my power to make Seia as fertile as possible. I'd give her fertility drugs, I'd give her uterus massages, breast massages, I wouldn't let her go an hour without at least one spastic orgasm. I'll even bake her home made lactation inducing biscuits to help her get to a point of hyperlactation syndrome so that she'll be seeping out multiple quarts of milk per day. Which I will save and drink just so that I can tell her how delicious it is. I'll make her so fertile that triplets will be the minimum number she's carrying at any given time. I would literally never stop doting on her, I would respond to her every beck and call and I would cum inside her again each time she asks for something. She would be so pregnant all the time that she would literally not be able to stand up straight anymore even after menopause. Her spine would be permanently bent out of shape to accommodate a pregnant belly. Even after she can't get pregnant anymore I would just keep putting more eggs into her. I would clone her purely so that I can put fresh eggs from the clone inside her after she runs out of them. She would have so much progesterone running through her veins at any given time that even the thought of not being pregnant would seem alien to her.
>badmouth v1c3>hoshinofags immediately crawl out of the woodworks Like clockwork
>>557192693>Not taking shit and actually standing up for what they believe inYeah, that's how a man should be
>>557192504Any sIzuna replacement?
It's really funny seeing shitposters latch onto decacunnies to doompost when it's literally beat for beat the exact same shit as what happened with Kei in vol F.
>>557192820>>decacunnies are dead for goodDo you have proof of this?
>>557192727Yume is the Thunder Emperor?????!!!!!!!
Who's gonna be the next Big Bad? The demon thing supposedly buried under Gehenna?
>>557192873v1c3 literally buried hoshino's popularity though.
V2C3 when
follow Miyo's orders and shut up
>>557192981yes
>>557193025We dont have anything as big as Deca set up right now, I guess next we build towards the prisoners?
Any other use for Miyo besides Yesod and sex?
>>557192560>3-3deep5u!!!I accept your concession
Gehennoid chapter when?
>https://x.com/ivan_geam2/status/2021902482092462466Yuzu!!??
>>557192521An actual sensei would never ask to begin with, he wouldn't hesitate
This is just proof of how good the writers did while writing the decacunnies since people are sad that the antagonists died. Nobody cried when Beatrice died
To me it's pretty obvious, if sensei considers the decalolis to be his students, they'll be savedHis story doesn't allow for his students to die
Hoshiwho...?
>>557193201Next year
>Saori>Kuroko>now MalkuthSure a lot of hobos in Kivotos.

>>557193025Good question but we have nothing to go on
>>557193395
>>557193201We have an april stream. Maybe they'd want to strike an iron while it still hot and doubling down on vol EX even harder. Or an Gehenna vol.
>>557193415>jobbed to seia twice
>>557193431>>557193537oh come on man, I have like 63% of total xp needed for lvl90. I'm not that new
>>557192882Sakurako? You can check what teams others used for clear
>>557193410Saturday morning cartoon is what some people seem to want
>>557193395Just don't do it if it bothers you imo, it doesn't make that big a difference in the long runJust save your weekly AP cash in
>>557193272Beatrice was written to be irredeemable. She's such a shit that the other members of Gematria were challenging for daring to badmouth (you)
https://arca.live/b/bluearchive/162260795?category=%EC%9D%BC%EC%84%AD&p=1Volume EX end credits
So the volume isn't even finished yet and the epilogue is locked yet people are still chimping out
>>557193025Thunder Emperor? Hopefully the Black Suit will also make a comeback
>>557193776The fluff zone
>>557193747I hate this
>"I read the Dekagrammaton arc. It made me cry the hardest in a while, and honestly, with all the ups and downs, my final feeling was exhaustion. But in a good way, something I can't put into words. Watching it again this time really drove it home for me, but in this game, entrusting and being entrusted is truly crucial. It really made me think about all sorts of things and moved me deeply."
>>557192882>>557193623Yeah, Wappi is better than Izuna iirc
>>557193750Just ignore the pajeets

>"Nah, I'd win.">smash cut to dogezaActually lol'd.
>>557193987Well, duh? The thing is sensei trusts his students, there is no security, he doesn't lock the door, they can come and go as they wish

>>557194186>he doesn't lock the door, they can come and go as they wish>sensei's dick is like a revolving door with students riding him one by oneMy rights?
>>557193747yeah fuck this shit
To be honest even if deca lolis are brought back to life, the story still does damage to the franchise with the kind of themes and aesthetics that attract the wrong crowdNo mile should be given to edge tourist, it should be 100% apparent that they aren't welcome hereYou can say V1C3 or even Vol F/V3 did the damage too but that's no excuse, new writers should prioritize clearing the fanbase
>>557194237>two miyusyes
>>557192297I liked it a lot
>>557193747>those lyricsyeah they're dead for good. honestly it couldn't have played out any differently
>>557193690Eh it's whatever, it's annoying mostly due to the fact that there are red dots everywhere and I can't claim all from the tasks tab
https://arca.live/b/bluearchive/162260158?category=%EC%9D%BC%EC%84%AD&p=1They seem to be taking it well at least

We're finally a serious story... we can hang out with Arknights and Nikke and FGO...
>>557194427Malkuth impregnation will reincarnate the decacunnies.
>>557192297It's my favorite chapter in the entire game.
>>557194497>No mile should be given to edge tourist>Ignores arius squad
Wait, so is deca taking over Malkuth's body?
>>557194497This exact same plot has happened like 4 times now. Shut the fuck up you tourist.
>>557194537>He missed the messageNgmi
>>557194392look at this retard trying to act like a smartass. go back to whatever shithole you come from
Maia is going to go terror and diedid you like her?
>>557194497>muh edge muh tourists muh welcomeHere we go again. Leave it to the delicate softies to be the most conceited people in the thread somehow, with their interpretations always being taken as gospel by themselves.
>>557194773let me know when we get a butterfly as a striker
>>557194497Sorry, but BA is going to be more edgier to cater to a wider audience.
Sensei, she's pregnant with triplets...
Some of you faggots are too hung up on saturday morning cartoon writing that you can't even handle baby's first morally gray villain
Favorite student out of these?
>>557194652>He didn't read volume 6Volume 3 is literally about edgefags losing to the pure unbridled hope of hopefags Hifumi as she personally slammed Saori straight into the mat, and then Zoos acquiring the power of hope beat Saori one on one as Saori cried about how life isnt fair and shit Literally the point of volume 3 is that hope should always win In the end, it doesn't matter how, it doesn't matter why, but it should always win out
>>557194710yes and no. yes it did but is kicked out of it. it is now inside a spare malkuth.
>>557194605>He said calmly
Man, I'm too retarded for this. Where the fuck am I suppose to click in order to solve the last riddle?
>>557194497
>>557194896All of them
>>557194803Calm down already
Finished the current story after 4 hours+.EX > F.Current writers > pikachu.I cried, Kei was so cool at the end.I love the decacunnies so much bros, their development from the start to the end was peak.The fucking vending machine talked so much holy fuck, stfu.Cool Christian symbolism/parallel, there was also a quote from that Aleister guy
>>557194652>ariuslmao and this retard has the audacity to call the other tourists. go back
>>557194896
no one ever said this
>>557194497what a fucking retarded post, never type again.
>>557195043Forgive me father for I have sinned
>>557195086BA is BACK baby
>>557194754>He doesn't understand the difference at allThere's a difference between Key sacrificing herself, but the camera pans to a small toy robot during the same scene to imply some part of key survived And Decas sacrificing themselves, with no small sliver of hope given, and then you cut to Ein's coloring book being destroyed by the rainOld BA always gave you the small sliver of hope in the end that we would still reach the happy ending. New BA is "nah they're dead"
>>557194497I understand what you’re saying here but that’s pretty much an impossible request. Writers shouldn’t have to give up their creative freedom for the fear of attracting tourists for a simple theme
>>557192972>it's literally beat for beat the exact same shit as what happened with Kei in vol F.I felt like I was having a fucking stroke going through the previous threads and seeing people bring that up, about how Kei's sacrifice in vol F was treated better by giving you hope that she would come back, and the new writers just don't "get" it by not giving you the same hope.Because I'm pretty fucking sure Kei was treated about as good as dead until the volume F epilogue came out WEEKS later, after Kei already sacrificed herself.That's where you actually get the scene of Aris building the toy robot. Not right after Kei sacrificed herself, just like how we're not gonna get info about the deca lolis coming back right now in the middle of part 4.
>>557194926>still ignores how arius squad is strictly made to me miserable and attract edgefags
>>557195086Aleister… Bro is fusion summoning…
I’m pretty sure nothing in volume EX comes close to being as edgy as a visual image of Misaki’s suicide.
>>557194896H A R U N A
>>557194605>Whoa, easy there! Sounds like you've been personally victimized by a vending machine. Here is the translation for your... intense situation:Kek
Can't spell BASED without BA
>>557195089anyone who says 'saturday morning cartoon' is revealing their unc status btw
I’m really happy that POIst and the rest of the writing team were able to create something this good without Isakusan. The future of BA looks bright. I’m looking forward to the 7th PV in April.
>>557195089Any other commonly used phrases you want to look up, detective?
>>557195235We saw the toy robot quite literally seconds in the very next shot after Kei died.
>>557194963Away from heart = right sideI forgot what the first line is, but it's the bushes
>>557195240You got it all wrong. The whole point of that group is to entice saviorfags into, you know, saving them and giving them a better life.
when will this piece of shit host die
>>557194497you knew it was over when they put mechaslop writters in chargenow you cannot have grounded stories because every time they have a problem the suspension of disbelief will make you think "why ar we not using retarded big robots to solve this problem"
You know what could have prevented this?School politics slapstick. As it always should have been.
Hot take, but Hifumi was supposed to be someone you are disgusted by. She's almost an adult and she still believes in asspull ending stories on top of being a consoomer of their in-universe version of Hello Kitty. The fact the majority of players listened to her instead of shooting her down is evidence that the playerbase will never grow up. Miyazaki was right, you are all manchildren
You can't help but notice edgefags are trying hard to reframe things already "BA was always an edgy series, kids die all the time, there was never a hope message, you just interpreted it wrong, Saori suffered which means other characters should die, this was always a massively edgy game, we needed more steaks and death anyway, you just want a kiddy story if you aren't comfortable with characters dying as much as possible, this was always a death story, no this wasn't ever a story about saving kids"
>>557195216it doesn't matter what writers do they will always be stuck on isakusan's shadowthe simple fact that they are subverting the core of BA is because pikachuman lives on their head and the world that he built is loved by many. they will end up destroying it to try to make it their ownI've seen it happening many, many times. it won't be different now
>>557195372That small toy robot was broken with its screen cracked. You're only saying this because you have hindsight with the Volume F epilogue. There was no such indication at the time that it was as sure of a bet as you were saying.
>>557190561Holy KEK

>>557195861Yes, and that's the point I'm trying to make.Feel free to criticize the writers by all means if they do end up explicitly telling you that the deca lolis are gone and there's no point trying nor hoping to bring them back, but for now criticizing them for this particular thing before the story is fully finished is jumping the gun.It would be like talking shit about how BA is turning edgy because Kei died instead of just fucking waiting until the epilogue for confirmation

>>557195531Isakusan wasn’t what made BA good, nor was he ever the only one who made it. He wasn’t fit to have a hand in a game like BA with how neglectful or spiteful he was towards many of the characters.

>>557196291Just like how it makes no sense for Kei to survive because they have Aris to carry on her legacy, right?

>>557196540In fairness to the insane mainlanders, I actually was confused why he didn't use his card right then and there. All his students being suddenly, violently incapacitated by a menacing god-figure standing before you with an iron will feels like the most warranted situation to pull out the card to at least give yourself some breathing space
>>557196726>isakusan, mx2j, issacqwell yeah, this story began with Isakusan, and mx2j and Doremi were involved with the original character designs for some of them.
>>557196757We're putting them in AMAS bodies, it's logical and efficient
>>557196726>isaacqI get the other ones but this one in particular should burn in hell
finished her story, whats the appeal?chinese dresses are stuipid
honestly if blue archive wishes to go down the edgy route they should just bring back Beatrice since she basically the embodiment of that dark shit and basically suppose to be the irredeemable cartoon villain, and have her actually kill a student (then gloat about it to sensei). don't know how you would bring a dead villain back to life (though some people think the bitch was just banished by the others and not killed)
>>557196726>dydldlI can't recall who this person was or what he did.
>>557196556If it's so obvious, why do you think it makes sense for it to be a samefag?Not my fault somebody else sees the same thing I see. You aren't exactly hard to read.

>400 replies in 1 hour
I read the Dekagrammaton arc. It made me cry the hardest in a while, and honestly, with all the ups and downs, my final feeling was exhaustion. But in a good way, something I can't put into words. Watching it again this time really drove it home for me, but in this game, entrusting and being entrusted is truly crucial. It really made me think about all sorts of things and moved me deeply.
what if they intentionally sabotage BA story so people would move on to project RX?
>>557197163Yes,
>>557196948Hips.>>557196778For what it's worth, I've gotten around 10 purples despite only drawing 1 card each time.
>>557197238Wouldn’t happen because nobody would move because of the characters not being as good. And the story has only improved
These threads are nostalgic and bring me back to /bag/ when Volume F was ongoing.People who joined after don't know but the slapfights were largely the same, about BA turning into edgeshit because of Volume F and how it was a slap in the face to Volume 3, yadda yadda yadda.

my favorite part of the deca story is when they invited the GDD just for them to make gaming references
>the utaha, she does nothing!Anon told me to use her to counter pic related by having the turrets stall her, but it feels like it does literally nothing. If she activates with less than 7 on the counter, my team wipes. My Utaha is UE1 with her bond item, what level of investment do you need?

>>557196948i was just fishing for compliments
>>557197331'Cause you know this has happened before,And you know that this moment in time is for real,And you know when you feel Deja vu.
>>557196726Yo, he's thereI'm sorry, but scenario editor's name made me laugh.
>>557197439that's more of a complaint against momoi honestly. the deca story quite literally wouldn't have worked without aris and subsequently kei being introduced. from both plot progression and thematic intent perspectives.
>>557197467Lots of sex in various outfits
>>557197771I'VE BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE
>>557197439Aris and Kei are literally the most important characters in this volume
>>557196948Big tits, wide hips, breeder genes
>muh steaks
We love Momoi here
When viewed as an enemy, the Decagrammaton is ultimately just acting as a god, and as a teacher, the protagonist consistently holds the stance of "there's some truth to that, but we don't want it," so yeah, it really has a different opposing stance compared to someone like Beatrice.The fact that the closest stakeholder, Kei-chan, is the one getting pissed off in place of the unflappable teacher is yet another masterful touch in controlling the emotional release.
Making a giant spaceship to hop between a gorillion universes to find Kuroko's so you can fight your evil twin to the death is laughably Marvel-tier writing, just look at that recent Marvel movie with a council of Spidermans or some shit. It's a fucking massive leap in stakes from previous volumes and is shittily written, and I can't wait for the translation to make it even worse and kill global completely.
mmmkawaine
>>557195235What personally upset me the most was the retard claiming Sensei/Aris not performing a miracle to save the decalolis was bad, when doing so at that point would have been terrible writing
>>557197331And? People judge Vol F for what it is, now it's fully outBut back when it was going on, we didn't know what it's going to be and it was advertised with shit like this >>557196597Then it's no wonder people were worried
>>557195814It can get worse than thatLike after 10 years getting revealed that the MC can't breed
>>557195198Maybe you don't see the sliver of hope because you are only looking at datamined videos and pictures and not the actual VN where 99% of the story happens retard.
>>557197534We should be thanking Decagrammaton, the Deca cunnies wouldnt have existed to begin with without him, we would have never cared for them if they didnt exist. Malkuth would have never been born.We shouldnt lament the events that transpired, we should cherish them.

I sure hope you aren't the type of idiot who gets one good card and then skips to the next set.
>>557196974You're just being too obvious with it
>>557197941CAN'T BELIEVE VOL F KILLED THE GAME
>>557198193Miho!
>>557197527I was always under the impression that the card is used with the shittim chest (Especially since alternations to the chest itself is needed for sensei to use more then 6 students, without the chest the card is uselss.)
>>557197790momoi was not a walking gaming reference in vol 2
>>557196128
>>557198084Okay but adult shouldn't wear such short dress

>>557198276Honestly it's been so long since I've read Volume 1 and 3 where they make direct references to him using the adult card that I forgot whether it was something connected to the shittim chest, or something separate that he just pulls out of his wallet or somethingBut it needing the shittim chest would make sense

>>557198321She was and wasn't. In Volume 2 they did give her good character-building scenes to balance out her gamer side.but in Volume EX it's a lot more noticeable because she doesn't really have big important scenes conferred upon her.I did like the scene where Momoi picked up on what sensei was trying to hint at about having a snowball fight. That was small but nice.

I think it's ok. The writing suffers from not having some interesting conflict between the characters. It's everyone vs Decagramaton while what made vol3 so interesting was things like Mika's conflict with Saori where there wasn't obviously one side in the wrong and where the characters had a chance to grow and change rather than just be defeated.

>>557197970Bro that's blue archiveVolume 2 ended with four miracles in a row to stop Key, including everyone teleporting inside Alice's brain to stop key directly The most aggravating part of this chapter is people suddenly pretending they don't know what story they were reading up until now and claiming this was never a story about miracles and magic. "Bro we can't have things convinentpy happen, were meant to be a serious and dark story" retard Hifumi literally controlled the weather in volume 3 at one point.Them sacrificing themselves after ALL of the themes in volume 2 about the trolley problem and not falling for self sacrificial bullshit like that, them restarting that same shit this volume with Momoi telling Rio we don't give up hope in living like that and we shouldn't ever choose self sacrifice options just because it seems easy at the time, we should always believe in a miracle, that the moral of volume 2, only for them to pick the opposite choice this time. You are who you choose to be, and do not give up hope thinking reality is a false binary that requires self sacrifice and suffering.The entire story here is a mirror of volume 2 except with all the opposite choices, but with the story suddenly pretending it's a good thing. The story even had sensei telling them to live and not lose hope in the future.
The Deca cunnies arent gone, I still believe, I still believe in the Shittim Chest ending.

Why ignore that and pretend the deca girls sacrificing themselves isn't largely the same? And why pretend that's a final indication that their sacrifice is final when it wasn't the same for Kei?
>>557199871most of those people are either shitposting or are actually tourists. even amongst jpfags only few actually know japanese.
>>557200068Still lost to BA writing.
>be jp>check club>notice club count went upWhat the heck? Do we actually have new JP /bag/ anons?
Japanese writters are obssesed with the whole>He saved the world...but no one knows about it so he went back to his normal lifeand I hate it so much.Probably some honor bullshit.
>>557200068was. the word you want is was.
>>557190619FGO lost that title long ago. You could tolerate a lot but:>make an entire arc about the consequencws of having to fight to survive and sacrifices we must make>after extending it with a 2 years filler they finish it with a reset ending undoing all said sacrifices and full story>>>reset the reset ending 2 weeks later with a comedic scene to start a new poorly explained arcThere is a limit to how much one can tolerate. I never thought they could do it but they beat even my sunken cost fallacy. Good riddance, die and never return. Maybe FGO truly has the highest peaks but it by a mile has the lowest of the low. And no peak can justify it.Mind you I defended a lot in the story until then including the Sakurai arcs
>>557169882Maybe it's my Japanese being shit, but I read that slightly differently. To me it felt like Sensei is implying that it's arrogant to think that it's possible to create a world without suffering where everyone understands each other. I.e., maybe Deca _thinks_ he can do that, but not only is the premise flawed, Deca will probably only make things worse with his/her simplistic understanding of a perfect world. I don't think Sensei really thinks that suffering is necessary as Sensei keeps banging on about how adults are supposed to make a world where kids wouldn't suffer. More like that it's inevitable that we will all sometimes suffer, and it's not reason enough to turn everyone into mindless fucking slaves.
>Blue Archive is a truly wholesome, healthy and cheerful game.Kim, why did you lie?
>>557200234It's because the decalolis didn't have halos and in Blue Archive no one is actually gone unless that halo is destroyed. Since they none of them had a halo, they are free game.
>>557200058salaryman ending is unironically funny, it's like the entire thing was just him hallucinating being the savior of the world.
>>557200357You can't understand true happiness without suffering.
>>557200357>kills the jews>/bag/ criesSeriously?
>>557200369Neither did Kei until she got revived 2 years later. Every single time you saw Kei prior to that was just her hijacking Alice's body. She had no halo of her own until Volume EX.
>>557200369I was wondering if they were going to earn halos through suffering sort of like the original little mermaid story
>>557200296they gotta keep the masquerade that being a wage slave is a good thing. can have the men thinking differently because line must always go up.
>>557200469Kei has a halo and she had one whenever she appeared. It's Aris' halo, but red.
>>557200332Sensei, you wouldn't hate Miyo just because she has Sakurai name on her, right?
>>557199431You really don't have to think too much, that special thanks section is basically a "these people has made some contributions since vol F but has left" credits

Have you niggers been discussing leaks this whole time
>>557199364LMAO, /bag/ has always been like this. I remember when I started criticizing mx2j’s art, and everyone called me a shitposter, raider, scatmonkey, etc. Then, months later, mx2j left the team for KV, and suddenly everyone turned on him. You can't criticize BA on /bag/ without everyone getting extremely defensive.
>they le no have le halo XDDYou niggers are not sending your best
>>557200559>It's Aris' halo, but red.Her Volume 2 appearance didn't have a red version of Aris' halo. Go back and check her standing illustration, her CGs, and you'll see.
blue archive is better at making you hallucinate that you've read a good story than actually having you read a good story
>>557200068A true Nasu fan would never praise FGO
>>557199871>The most aggravating part of this chapter is people suddenly pretending they don't know what story they were reading up until now and claiming this was never a story about miracles and magic.Okay but that's not the point here. You can't simply have Sensei/Aris/Key wave a wand and go "woosh you're back to life" because that would be both completely ridiculous given the circumstances (i.e. there was no buildup, they were pretty much blindsided by what happened) and would defuse all tension in the volume since death loses its gravity. Death is a serious thing and even Blue Archive, which actively strives for a happy ending even if it has to rely on miracles/Deus Ex Machinas/etc, has to treat it with the severity it warrants - it took Key TWO YEARS to reappear in any capacity. It's also completely forgetting the very simple detail that Vol EX IS NOT DONE YET, there's a goddamn epilogue and apparently Malkuth states she'll bring them back. If that it's true it's an incredibly obvious mirror of what happened with, again, Key in Vol F.

Wait, /bag/, I figured it out. I know how to save the Deca cunnies.The answer is Vol 1 Chapter 3.>"Overclocking. Utilizing the Shittim Chest's power, we will create a pseudo-Throne of Naram-Sin.">"...I have completed my analysis of the Underground Dweller's abilities. A chaotic realm where dimensions, time, existence, and non-existence are mixed together, without ever settling... If we were to construct something similar..."It can be constructed with the Ark. We can contact that which does not exist, that means the Deca lolis, even if they dont exist, can be reached.Everything is already set in place, every piece for it to happen is there. Do not fret over.
>>557201021>right from the get goNot right from the get go. Only weeks later when the volume F epilogue came out and Himari reveals the 2KB of data.What you're doing right now is like you bitching immediately after Kei's death scene in the middle of Volume F instead of waiting for the story to properly conclude.
>>557201094

>>557201324i don't really think that the majority of the cast are particularly deep or compelling characters and vol ex makes this very apparent. the game peaked at vol 3 unironically
Don't nips report people to the police for posting video game and anime spoilers?

>>557201598I choose to believe this to be true
>>557201649Leaks.
Fubukibros... don't look...
Where is he?
I think what people are saying isn't that characters can't come back to life eventually, but the way this was handled was very different from how it was handled in the past with it being treated very differently in a way that even Koreans apparently say it mucked up the core theme of the game a bit. Key sacrificed herself in volume F, and the exact same scene she disappeared you cut to a small toy on the floor, which hinted there was still hope. The story up to now has always offered you a small miracle in exchange for your efforts. This chapter is treated in a very opposite way with a lot of finality, and ending the story on it, when the story up to now was about overcoming despair and not choosing to sacrifice things for happiness like that. The story was always about finding another way rather than obeying the rules of the trolley problem. Up to now sensei has always found another way, he wouldn't let a child die in front of him even if it meant his life, but this time he clearly blinked.Even if they come back to life in a later chapter its hard to say this doesn't go against the overall theme of the story in certain ways.
Volume EX tried to be the next Volume F but it failed epicly>Volume F had the better cast>Volume F had the better chibi fight (Kaiten vs Perorodzilla was way more hype than Poozu vs Darth Vader)>Volume F had the better story>Volume F had the better world raid >Volume F had the better antagonists (Malkuth and Deca are not on Kuroko and Phrena's level)>Volume F gave us Plana who is loved more than KeiI could go on and on. BA stories will never be the same.
>>557201649It's from gook datamines.>>557201260>koreans hate itAgain, do they? I didn't get that impression at all.
>Japan: Deep analsis of the story and universal praise >Korea: KILLED CUTE CHARACTERS THIS IS BAD ITS SAD I DONT LIKE THIS >/bag/: the story will never be good again it was so great before and now its bad the ending of the game is soon. steaks.

>>557201801Plana is just iPad HinaKei is Millennium Hina
>>557201801You're gay
>>557201747Does it? The Ending credits show a white butterfly, it implies they are free from Deca's agency through death. When they are brought back, they shall have no purpose in life whatsoever, and that realization is what they need.
+3 kill for sensei! Holy shit sensei, that's a lot of dead students. You're on a roll.
So its confirmed that Arona is entirely jobber mode by now, right?
>>557201747>you cut to a small toy on the floor, which hinted there was still hopethat small toy was shown as cracked and broken.the actual hint of hope was in the volume f epilogue where they make it much more explicit.until then, that scene never meant anything concrete. it could mean she was gonna come back in the future or it could really just be a tearjerker memento where she was never meant to come back.

Vol F 2.0...
>>557201051It doesn't suck but the word salad and sophistry are excessive. I'm having fun, the cast and the comedy are solid, but it could've been done much better overall. A straightforward movie length story that is being dragged on by longwinded interruptions about the nature of suffering every fucking minute. Which doesn't even have all that much to do with the plot except for the engineers' miserable existence and fate.Also, like the others said, something has to be truly atrocious for Japanese people to even say うーん、ちょっとはアレだった. They are always very "consume product, get excited for the next product".
>>557202198>>557202216
>>557201747Sensei is not omnipotent. He had his access to the Shittim Chest (and, presumably, the adult card) limited by Deca, an immensely powerful entity. The fuck was he supposed to do? Besides, if they do come back, it'll tie with all the stuff Sensei and Arisu have been saying all chapter long, that suffering is inevitable, but that doesn't mean life is suffering - there is a happy ending at the end of it all if you're willing to strive for it.

>>557199871>>557200053Hifumi didn't control the weather! Hifumi didn't banish the Justina council! She can't perform miracles! She is just a plain girl! The weather clearing up at that moment was just a coincidence. Sensei recreated the conditions of the original Eden Treaty by acting as the mediator(Big Arona's original role) with the relevant parties in the same location (ruins of the cathedral) and declaring the promise of paradise (Hifumi's silly speech) to establish them as the new ETO. The ghost nuns started to glitch out because their commandment makes them follow the ETO but there's now two of them. Seia explained it right after the scene.
>>557202057well apparently what i am seeing about the Japanese version of the story, the chest was hacked through world edit reality warping if I am understanding what I am hearing correctly (which either means that Deca either overestimated arona and took an unnecessary large power up or that Arona is so strong you need to become God to take her down.)
>>557202189butterflies are used a lot to represent freedom

>>557202331Cope, go play stella sora then. It's japanese story with japanese devs
>>557202360Deca is not a child though. Physical form notwithstanding, it's at least decades old, probably older than Sensei.
The reason Korea doesn't like it is because Malkuth is being portrayed as a Christ-like figure and they love Judaism over there instead. The Japanese love their media with a dash of Christianity so it appears esoteric and mystical, since they don't really understand it.

>>557202826I may have missed or forgotten things so I genuinely can't say. I was under the impression that it was never clarified, but since Gematria were following the project to prove God's existence, and they treat Nameless Gods as something from long before they came to Kivotos, I assumed that the project is somewhere between 10-100 years old. The lab and the district seemed to be not too weathered by time either (although most BGs were stock BGs, so hard to say for sure).Of course, we don't really know when the world got retextured, but so far, I assumed that it was at least hundreds of years ago.
I'll wait for the popular opinion so I can contradict it.
I don't like any of the volumes that don't have Miyako in them.

>>557202580I mean in volume EX Ch1 she was so unfathomable of an existence that it drove him madThis isn't wrong, it's what she should be honestly considering the shittim chest controls the world basically Shittim chest also controls the crafting table which is apparently the strongest existence in Kivotos, let's not even get into the subtle hint about how matter conversion is the power of the nameless gods, and the crafting table is THE item that has power over matter conversionThis is all good, Arona should be stealth wanked despite being seen as outwardly a joke because we know she's secretly a big deal. So big that decagammon cannot even fathom the power of the chest Then it fails in volume 3Then it fails in volume FAnd now Decagammon can easily hack it and is now far above it in scope. She's basically been badly demoted to jobber tier over time. Now even deca jobber is above her. And this is despite the fact Arona is now 2x as strong as the last time she faced deca gammon, and last time she beat him while she was literally asleep, she didn't even notice the mosquito that he was. Now you have super Arona and super plana, and once again the end up jobbing. They don't have a good track record lately despite being the strongest item in the world supposedly. Even Malkuth was able to shoot through them.
I love my students peeing in my mouth so much
>>557203289I hope someone can explain it to me, because I'm either too stupid to understand it, or there's a bit too much word salad for the sake of word salad. Or both.

>>557203872Endfield isn't doing well?
>>557203289I didn't say they were doomingBut JP players tend to follow the same pattern. When a story first comes out they tell the devs thank you and say it's great. If the story is flawed you don't tend to hear about it until later on when they're started to really process it a bit. They're at the point of asking if certain elements were just a bit too convinent. Japanese tend to be very indirect with their ciritisms though so you won't tend to hear them say it in a crass way like Americans.
>>557203691The one who made BG is Indonesian
>>557204049Endfield doesn't have fox cunny and her smoking hot mom
>>557203997Yes but also no. Characters like Shigure, Sena, Serina, Michiru, Ibuki, Momoi, Midori, and Izuna hardly look out of place in BA. Those were all designed by guest artists.

Decagrammaton already had ownership of this area, he was not far above Arona, he outright overwrote Arona's authority. Being like Arona is exactly the existence Decagrammaton strived for and at that very moment, he got it.The Sanctuaries are a genuine threat because they can overwrite Kivotos rules.
>>557204168Shimiko is also good

>>557204240>Halo shattering missileBit of a misleading label on that one, in hindsight
>>557203995NTA, I'm not even sure that whatever Deca did meant that it's stronger than the chest, because all it did really is yank Sensei away from the tablet. Not very hard to do. The tablet can't really move itself, which is its biggest weakness so far.
I will bring them back, no matter what it takesIf it would take another Kyoani incident, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Anything for my girls
>>557204214Fails in volume F a few timesWhen it suddenly turns off when sensei gets kidnapped by KaiserWhen Arona can't hack reality to save sensei on the ArkWhen she had trouble outhacking Plana, or letting Plana reverse hack the ship.
>>557204240Yeah it's been pretty clear the chest (and probably the card as well) only fails in extraordinary circumstances
>>557204062Again, I've mostly seen praise, but this latest update was a fair bit more complex than what we usually get so it's no surprise some people got confused.
>>557204123Do you have a source on him btw? Name or URL. I'd like to see what else he worked on.
>>557204240Arona offensive power is either pretty much zero or sensei can't use her at her full capacity.
Also Arona outright couldnt tank Horus or Set's attacks for too long either and she was unironically made weaker because of Plana Overclocking the Shittim Chest.Sensei, you gotta buy more RAM.
>>557204240Wait, what even is a Sanctuary? I'm a bit lost regarding what is and isn't a proper term in BA (doesn't help that different translations treat these kinds of words differently)
>>557204548Shut down when it got hit by a missleShut down randomly when Phenephrates and Plana entered the timeline for some reasonAlmost shut down when the pipe bomb explodedShut down when Hoshino shot senseiAlmost shut down when Malkuth shot itNow Decagammon can shut it downShe's kinda losing a lot here
>>557204062When nips truly don't like something they just don't talk about itAnd they had no issues voicing their discontent on Twitter when Set and the MTL'd Hyakki event dropped

>>557204794>When nips truly don't like something they just don't talk about itI remember seeing this really hard with the BA anime. At first, excitement, everyone talking about the first episode, everyone drawing anime sensei.Then by like, episode 6, a lot were pretending as if it didn't exist.
>>557202991>a few people on xittermeanwhile everyone who actually enjoys the game are loving it, as shown in their videos
>>557204723Bro...Running both Aris AND Kei on this shit is resource intensive...
>>557204736BA world is a textureThe current texture is "School girls with guns"Basement fag implied this isn't the first world, there have been many iterations of the world, maybeSomeone created the current texture of the world. Its not clear who yet.The texture is held in place by something, most likely some sort of giant tower, such as Sanctum tower, or Schale.The false sanctums are things that are trying to rewrite and change the texture of the world, they're trying to repaint the rules of the world.Decagammon tried becoming a god by creating another sanctum to once again change the rules of the worldKivotos is basically a game where whoever can change or create the rules is currently god, there have been many enemies that have tried to repaint the world.Its hard to understand BA lore without reading Type Moon or Dies Irae stories I guessThis comic kinda explains it
bweeeeh
>>557205073>as shown in their videosSuch as? I only saw Himiya's
>>557204736Sanctuaries are the pillars. They serve as a "conduct" from my understanding from which reality is made manifest by the established god. By creating more Sanctuaries, the god within the established sanctuaries can overwrite reality. Kivotos has one tower we know of at the very least.At least, thats my understanding of their explanation of it.
>>557200898>two yearsOf real-world time, in-game it was like a few months at most.
what happened to the big hat lady can she still get pregnant
>>557203995Yeah. That anon's retarded.
>>557204451>another Kyoani incident, nat games will deserve it
>>557205234See for yourself. https://files.catbox.moe/6wky01.mp4
>>557205098I can understand why we fight so hard to keep the world as it is. I want to keep my cute girls with guns
>>557205359>0:57cute butt
>you need to read the bible to understand trinity>you need to read egyptian mythology to understand abydos>you need to comp. sci degree to understand millenium>you need to read communist manifesto to understand red winter>you need to read i-ching to understand shanhaijingget started sensei
>>557205098>>557205209Ah, I see, thanks, that makes it clearer. I must have missed a fucking lot while reading, at least I hadn't realized the purpose of the towers is that.

>>557203995Even as a vending machine he had the mystic, the terror, the sublime. He gave life to all the prophets. I think people are underestimating him in his vending machine form. Himari established that there was the ultimate Millenium super computer that powers all of millenium, and deca hacked it in like 0.000000001 seconds, he's far above any technology that exists, he's beyond the concept of technology itself. He manages to hack a system that isn't connected to anything, its not even plugged in, its not connected to a network, he can still control it.And even then he was driven mad by AronaHe gained a body now with Malkuth but its not like he's a million times stronger.
This guy is ready to beat Deca
>>557205548What about Hiyakkyako?
>>557205098>>557205209Oh and now I guess I understand why JP posters keep talking about GSC Prez maybe being the one who retextured the world into its current shape, because who else if not the superhuman.
>>557205734Japanese folklore
>>557205098>Its hard to understand BA lore without reading Type Moon or Dies Irae stories I guessSounds more like you're describing Towers in The Elder Scrolls to me.
>>557206183I don't play American games
>>557205098>Its hard to understand BA lore without reading Type Moon or Dies Irae stories I guessIt's really not, you just described a computer texture, it's the same thing
>>557205098>Kivotos is basically a game where whoever can change or create the rules is currently god, there have been many enemies that have tried to repaint the world. Reminds of South Park TFBW's ending. All the bad guys are Mitch Connors.
>>557199154>nobody got the referenceAre /bag/gots all xitter newfags?https://youtu.be/uddSYBb9W1E?si=lg951m45fHYDUUwi
>>557207337>no "my name is not important"Nobody actually played it
>>557207337I recognized it and was originally gonna ask what his name was, but I got distracted by a story shitpost and responded to that instead.
>>557205098I haven't read Dies, but now that you mention it, I do know from a friend that the Dies-verse is all about people becoming gods and overwriting the world in their image over and over again, with each of the installments taking place in a different iteration and time period of that general universe. In that sense I guess this really is similar. Not sure about Type Moon stuff but I only read the most popular entries well over a decade ago, so I don't have the full grasp of its worldbuilding beyond the Earth and the Moon being way too powerful for some reason.
>>557205098>it's hard to understand without porn game writingMaybe you're just dumb.
I had to spark Uz...
No long awaited spooks along the way?
Not exactlyI got one new Ritsu and a dupe pNoa
Dang Arona at least give the man 3 spooks if you're gonna make him spark.
