First for Tookyo Games a shit!
We all love Eito.
Is there any SDU girl who isn't slut?
>>564941625It has to be, no other time machine is in the damn story. The blood disappearing thing I chalk up to the writer deciding to add something specific like KG did and I guess figured it fit alright enough and it shouldn’t effect things later on (I’ve argued with people here saying the SDU should be sent back to their original timelines after the end of SF because of it even). I think the implication is that the PLM was inaccessible to Vexh while Shion still maintained the wall of fire and that’s why she never found it prior is because his ass wasn’t out of commission in all the other times. Also think Hiruko has a slight reaction to Vexh mentioning the machine. Kodaka was listed 2nd on this one was surprised he was attached to any of the time involved routes anyways but I feel like they weren’t done very well though and just make things more confusing.
>>564955418Moko is pure
>>564955238
His vibe here is very simular to that CG of him sitting on the couch from ME.
>>564955827He’s a smug gamer
Considering how 90% of this fanbase is female and Gaku is still not in the top 5 just shows how unlikable he is lol
Everyone wants Tsubasa merch
>>564956042Because Nozomi has the most shallow relationship with TakumiIt's literally "you're my childhood friend!"Not to mention their relationship is so fucking fragile. Nozomi won't hesitate to kill the kid she groomedGaku has a better relationship with Takumi than Nozomi
>>564956042Kodaka is cockblocking them from making kg polycule merch that's crazy
>>564956708Based Kodaka
>>564955810His ankles are visible too. So hot.>>564955827If we're talking about multiplayer games, he would play Warframe and Quake Live.
>>564955972https://x.com/g0_l4tt/status/2048062356270481431You wish someone would talk about you the way Gaku yume talks about him.
mistreatment queen
At least Kodaka was consistent but cmon man could ask him anything and you ask something that was already explained in the game and his answer is exactly the same as in the game
>>564957779nah I'm good. I know the kind of fucked up shit Gakufags want to do to Gaku.
>>564956708Good, polycule was a shit and it's only one of the worst things in Killing Game route.>>564958008This girl is the exception. Her fanart is wholesome.
>>564956042>maybe it's selling regardless of the survey rankingsMaybe
>>564955972he is the worst character in the entire gameimagine if in addition to doing nothing, moko stole yugamu and kyoshika's pervert joke gimmick but made it so unfunny and cringe that they had to make a route that is somehow an even bigger punishment than the presence of this abomination for the player just to ensure people sacrificed kurara instead to get the real second scenario ending
>>564958243Shouma and Moko are way way worse than Gaku
>>564958737>diarrhea and vomit are worse than dogshitthis is true actually
the anime adaptation for a hugely popular shonen jump manga just got announced and kimura taihi of takumi fame is playing the main characterkind of crazy considering takumi was his first big role i think
>>564959287He had never played a protagonist before correct. Good for him, surprising that HL bumped him up enough to get the lead for that although I hope it does well cause kagurabachi was a major joke even in Japan for awhile. I remember seeing a jp tweet about being surprised at seeing a foreigner buy volumes of kagurabachi lol
>>564959287>hugely popularI remember when this came out and people were treating it like Morbius, funny how things change
Ironic since HL is the less edgy of the two
>The game was ranked 7th in Rolling Stone magazine's "Best Games of 2025" and won the Japan Game Awards Excellence Award, among other accolades. What are your thoughts on being recognized by users and the media alike?>Kodaka: I played almost all the games that were talked about last year. And objectively speaking, I think 'Hundred Line' is definitely in the top 5 games released in 2025. I wonder if it'sfair for me to compare it to other games, but in my opinion, it's one of the top 5 titles. In that sense, I think the people who gave 'Hundred Line' the award must haveactually played the game properly(laughs).>Kodaka: Conversely, I wonder if the awards that didn't choose 'Hundred Line' don't actually play the game (laughs). It made me realize, "Ah, these awards don't seem to play the game.">Rolling Stone is an American media outlet, isn't it? Even though it's localized, I think it's significant that a text adventure game originally in Japanese is being appreciated in America.>Kodaka: This isn't just about 'Hundred Line,' but Japanese games often don't resonate well in the West. In particular, the games we make tend to have more anime and manga-like expressions, and hardcore gamers sometimes say, "Well, that's a bit much..." and avoid them. In some cases, the work isn't even nominated for an award. So, it's really gratifying to have people like this who properly recognize and appreciate it.>Kodaka: I'm sure all of you Denfaminico Gamer readers who are reading this article have played "Hundred Line," right? Since you're reading Denfaminico, you all must be game lovers, right? If you haven't played it, you can't call yourself a gamer (lol). Otherwise, you'll be just like those overseas critics who say, "It's anime-like, it's manga-like, so it's not a game" (lol).https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/interview/260427h
>>564960189>hardcore gamers sometimes say, "Well, that's a bit much..." and avoid themI promise you their opinions don't matter.
>>564960189Bit much to expect westerners to play a game that’s majority reading. Just not that large of an audience compared to Japanese, but also aren’t VNs dying out there too? Something with the writers moving to gacha but also the audience that used to be there for VNs also being in gacha now
>>564955972He's fine compared to Ima who ranked 12th.
>>564959287>akumi was his first big role i thinkYephttps://myanimelist.net/people/65482/Taihi_Kimura
>Tsukumo siblings DLCL-l-ladsl??
>>564961217Wishful thinking. Come back when they have actual scripts.
Bros… did the Jamal 30k word Takumi cucking fanfic become lost media?
>>564959287Call me when Kako's VA starts getting main roles.
>>564961335Kako is a main role...
>>564961290the stage show has an original tsukumo twins ending
>>564961217Kodaka has been saying this since last year but still has nothing to show for itIt's time to give up
>>564961503from my understanding it stems from 2nd scenario.How the fuck can that route spin into a twin centred ending?
>>564961503Stage play isn't DLC.
Kako sends you to horny jail
>>564961614Probably few days before Eva attacks the school? Didn't they fight for a while in that routeExcept there's no box I guess
>>564961051Well he also just said it too
>>564961614Most of the “don’t kill eito” routes are all considered to be sub routes to 2nd scenario which is the main route Kind of in the same way a lot of the “kill Eito” routes are meant to basically act as question arcs for SF
>>564961614>>564961860They're deleting the box routes from existence lmao based
>>564958737Shouma's only sin is his horrible character design
Why did she flop?
>>564961335I hope Kako didn't kill her career.
>>564962309And also being so annoying that you want to punt him whenever he’s on screenBro is literally just Mikan without fat tits
>>564962325She didn't. Her VA appearance on the event was the most discussed thing on X
>>564962309Wrong
>>564962325She has the same personality as Kaede but she‘s not the POV character who dies tragically so people never got that attached to her, they understand why Takumi is upset when she dies in the first 100 days but she’s not interesting enough for the audience to get attached to her nor is the game from her POV.
>>564962614Appreciate seeing this dynamic for once
If Shouma looked normal he'd be more popular than Yugamu.
>>564962937Shion’s attractive and he’s unpopular
>>564962973He has zero screentime.
>>564962973Because his best route is fucking CoA
>>564963068Yugamu doesn’t have much either outside of KG (where he gets his spot stolen by puke girl) and he’s the third most popular character>>564963105More than Shouma has, I genuinely don’t think Shouma would be that much better liked if he was attractive, they’d have to make him Amami tier sexy for it to work.
>>564963242Yugamu is gay coded
>>564963105nah Shion's best route is Serial Battles where he goes berserk on Eito. Shion honestly fucking sucks . All he does is goes "uwu I love my fwiends". So in SB it sticks out when he actually gets something new.
>>564962614
>>564961217I can't believe that Kako's VA leaked DLC...
>>564955480> no other time machine is in the damn story.You forgot about Takumi’s special power being time travel
https://x.com/hundred_line/status/2048379064101335202
Did they say what manga is going to be about?Most likely it's route 0 but maybe they said something.
>>564965765They said it starts on winter and that's it
Man, this guy must be very passionate fan.
>>564966730it's probably fun for him to read and play the routes he didn't write
>>564959287Takumi bachi
>Eito and Takumi kiss on stage>how much money does Kodaka make
>>564962470Her VA went trendingNot Nozomi
>>564967420Cool
The best Hiruko's ship>>564966156What are they playing?
>>564967602i still like daruko more but slasher and SF made takuhiru grow on me
>>564967602>>564967726Oops, forgot the pic
>>564967805kek
Awwww look at wittle Jamal upset that his waifu doesn't get anything
>>564967805He stole Uchikoshi’s waifu
>>564968004Eito is the main love interest, Darumi is the secondary.
>>564968004While Nozomi is the main girl, I'm not sure you can call her the main love interest.
Always if but never when...
Wasn't band Nozomi one of the last ones to be sold out along with the twins?She clearly doesn't make money despite all the focus given to her so why bother giving her merch
>>564968404He's going to keep saying the same shit for two years
If they do a twins route it better be 80% Kako-G because her voice over is way better than base Kakohttps://youtu.be/fWDdnw7cDE4?si=xDScBRQWRX9qcYKe&t=5187https://youtu.be/fWDdnw7cDE4?si=mhGQ7bvcVuunrZ7D&t=5746
>>564968568the wasted potential of all time
TakuNozo doesn't work if you look at it closely, there's a big gap in what Takumi does for Nozomi and what Nozomi does for Takumi.Nozomi doesn't do anything for Takumi while Takumi will break his back for Nozomi. One side is willing to do everything for the other while the other wouldn't even give anything.2nd Scenario? Takumi dying for NozomiRebellion? Takumi saving NozomiRetsnom? Takumi trying to make it up to NozomiThere's just nothing for this ship to stand on when only one side is willing to do something for the other.Heck now that I think about it, Nozomi kills Takumi in a lot of Routes
>>564969061I mean a fandom of 99% fujos isn’t gonna care about it even if it was good.
>>564969061>picrelBased, Tsubasa murked the gray dipshit for Takumi which makes her the objectively best girl.
>>564969061I've already pointed it out here >>535258718 how Nozomi killed Takumi the most out of all the girls. I think overall Eito killed him more times but Nozomi is def 2nd place overall.
Hiruko 100% would be more popular as a male character but would the same apply to Nozomi?
>>564969061>Nozomi doesn't do anything for TakumiLiterally helped him to escape in Eva route.
>>564970219>guy who icks at some girl who's obsessed with him and would do anything to protect himif anything male Nozomi would be downright despised.
>>564970219Sometimes outside I see posts like "Real Eito is cool, but sometimes I miss him from R0" so there is a little demand for guys like that.
idgi but cool arthttps://x.com/Kymisuuuuuh/status/2048775494997274813/photo/1
>>564961329It's still uphttps://archiveofourown.org/works/71353466?view_adult=true
Oh coming to a previous discussion from threads ago>>562713270>>562713425 >>562714121 This line is why I defaulted to her being a jrpg gamer.In case that person is still around, of course
>>564970417I think anon meant if only Nozomi charged sex, Takumi stays a guy.
Drinking gamer Takumi's piss from a bottle he uses instead of leaving to toilet
>>564956042I dont want Tsubasa merch
>>564971740ok homo
tsubasa looks kinda weird here
>>564972006
>>564970417I meant Nozomi as a guy and Takumi stays a guy
>>564972392I'm more surprised that Zero didn't make it.
I want Nozomi to ick at me...
>>564972392Eitaku fujos talk about goodbye Eito all the time though? There’s multiple doujins based off of it.
>>564972978Sorry, I have only this.
>>564972392>I've never seen anyone talk about Goodbye EitoYou can tell she doesn't follow anyone in the fandom
>>564973008I thought Multiple Eitos and CoT was more popular among fujos and Goodbye Eito was popular with regular fans? Takumi isn't even in that route except first two minutes.
>>564973712Fujo delusion was so strong that the stage play created an if route where Takumi saves Eito in goodbye Eito
>>564973953So fujos really said fuck them kids...
>>564973465>She doesn't follow anyone in the fandom>Only 15 people
Goodbye Eito is popular enough to get two (maybe 3) new endings in the stage play kek
No, seriously, why didn't Route 0 make it into top-5?
>>564973092Kako icks will suffice.Honestly Nozomi's hottest sprite is her emasculating Takumi by kneeling over to look him in the eyes
>>564974919
>>564968229Retsnom threesome can't stop winning.
>>564973712It’s because Eito does tragically thinking about Takumi>inb4 he was thinking about everyone else too!!!He doesn’t even namedrop them kek
>>564973092kako has a great bod
>>564975147>most popular shipEitaku>most popular non twincest het shipDarueiYou’re not wrong
>>564968404Internally, he’s delaying it because he doesn’t want to compete with 2x2.
>>564974919>>564975046this is why you can't trust 'official heights' cause Takumi is both written to be and treated by every other character as the shortest man alive
>>564975906Fire! Water! A-set, you bet!
>>564975906Hate this cunt, I wish she had died.
>only man who wants his waifu to be a whoreAnd here he is calling other people cucks kek
>>564965249He’s not shown being able to reuse it after route 0. He could maybe if he succs Shion again but I already said he can’t do that there anymore. Plus he said in the route he’s gonna go find the machine Vexh was talking about >>564972392True indicator of a fake fan. Although at least for here people are usually tight lipped about it to not give anything away and just say ‘do it it’s really good’. And then there’s no real debate about that one either it’s just yeah it’s good
>>564976530>He’s not shown being able to reuse it after route 0.what do you think chapter select is? Hell, SF is predicated on Takumi using it (even unknowingly) across all the routes
>>564976530>He’s not shown being able to reuse it after route 0.Calling people fake fans while proving that you haven't paid attention...The ending where Takumi gets possessed by the Gie Queen is him going back in timeAnd then there literally is a Serial Battles ending with him saying goodbye to Nozomi as he readies to go back in time again.It's not that he can't go back in time. 99% of the time he doesn't want to.
>>564976673This isn’t VLR, SF lays out that the trigger is essentially the credits rolling is Takumi getting auto sent back. Or when he dies. Hiruko and Takumi never get to the Sigma and Phi level of being able to consciously in story go ‘let’s leap to this route now!’ with their minds>>564976872He goes back in time cause he gets blown up while possessed by the G’ie thus sending it back with him upon death. And like I also pointed out, Takumi doesn’t say he’s going to go back with his powers he brings up the dumb machine. It’d be cool if he said he’s going to go back with his powers that’d be fine but he specifically mentions the machine
>>564977160>Takumi getting auto sent back.Ergo, he's using his power. You can even use it in gameplay cause whenever Takumi isn't part of the group you can't Redo Wave or restart the fight anymore.
>>564977467It’s the loop it’s not him doing it consciously it’s outside factors throwing his ass back due to his first and only conscious leap (at least according to Uchikoshi).
Takumi Sumino?More like TaCOOMi Sumino
>>564978898He doesn’t coom he only sleeps
>>564975046That Nozomi sprite has ruined me in positive ways and negative ways.
>>564977467>>564978082Extra detail, it’s not just Takumi specific because due to Takumi’s one conscious send back Hiruko started getting looped too solely because she has the same power. All of her memories are of a timeline with Takumi coming back since her knowing the new attack schedule means all her routes have a future Takumi who changed when they attack in the first place.
>>564970417Isn’t this just Toko and Byakuya
>>564968004>>564968231If we're talking "main love interest", the closest you got to that is Hiruko, since her storyline is the "conclusion" to THL2 and a large part of it is her being in love with Takumi and the two developing a close relationship (across timelines).Nozomi really is just more a mystery hook I guess? She's obviously a significant character and she ties 1st and 2nd Scenario together, but beyond those two (and Reset by extension), she's a serious bit player. Even within 1st Scenario, that's about everyone, not just her.
(‸‶)
>>564976396>waifuWhen did the definition of this word change? There's a difference between masturbating to a fictional character and having a waifu, this guy does the 1st based on his pfp
>>564976396>implying a gigaslut nozomi route would be a bad thing
>>564984002I don't keep up with the Jamal lore, but he wrote a 20K word fanfic about his OC being in a new Hundred Line route where he fucks Nozomi and Takumi gets cucked, so I think Nozomi is a waifu.
Suckers
>>564976396I do write commissioned NTR erotica every now and then, and I kind of wanted to do a funny one where Eito, while locked up, somehow manages to convince Takumi that being cucked is great (Takumi is clueless and doesn't know what cuckolding is) and it leads to Takumi begging Gaku to fuck Nozomi or something.I'll write this at some point, for all my /thlg/ friends :)
>>564983645Nozomi is the Kodaka heroine and Hiruko is Uchikoshi’s. Nozomi is kept default if no other girls come up so she qualifies as the other main one I’d say
>>564984402>wrote a 20K word fanfic about his OC being in a new Hundred Line route where he fucks Nozomi and Takumi gets cuckedI gotta step up my game and write something like that for my hundan waifu…
>>564983645I don't mind Hiruko but there is one thing which I don't like about her.In the 2nd scenario there were characters who had actual regrets before their death and Hiruki just said "I'm so tired"But then the game implies trhat she started to time travel because she regrets about bad ending.
>>564984886It’s not written that way at all, but Uchikoshi may have ran with that. 1st and 2nd scenario were written prior to every other route ahead of time thus Hiruko is not a time traveler. All time additions were added by Uchikoshi. Kodaka even answered in a question there is no time loop in 2nd scenario which goes to show he was unaware of SF having Hiruko reference having experienced 2nd scenario a few times lol I think Kodaka was going for a ‘she didn’t actually like killing’ thing just an act like his reveal for Darumi in Retsnom
>>564983645>most routes>featured with Takumi on official goodsUnironically it’s Eito if you think about it
>Hundred Line popularity poll was not exclusively for convention attendeesoh no no no Nozomisisters?!
>>564985882I like Nozomi and that's all that matters
>>564985882Did anyone from the thread participate?
>>564985630>thus Hiruko is not a time traveler.or it's just one of her first loops so she doesn't remember anything. We see Takumi's various loops but it's only in SF and Mystery he starts to recall shit
>>564986048I interpret it as her first loop yes, and that’s probably how Uchikoshi treated it too. I can also see why Kodaka would deny it being connected since he did not write it with that in mind I see CoA as one of her first not aware loops since it’s the only one she turns on Takumi super easily but I think because of that outcome always going horribly she ends up not doing that anymore in every other route and just goes down trusting him. Or it just fit that way nicely with how that CoA author decided to write her and no one else decided to have her not trust Takumi
>>564986046Yes, I voted for Nyewgank
We're not gettin shit this year
>>564986803We’re getting a stageplay adaptation and a manga, works for me.
>>564986803And once it's out, at last, we get Kodaka's true vision for the game: The Shouma romance route
>>564986803Gaku and Darumi are on the same side in every timeline, literally soulmates btw
>>564963372*Bi coded
TAKUMI TOES
>>564987113Except when she likes Takumi
>>564987408>bedmanBased as always Eito
>>564987976Nah, that's Retsnom.
>>564988393Now when I think about this Darumi never liked TakumiCrackship
>>564988393Retsnom doesn’t take over till day 77. They don’t even get it till day 41
>>564988838You're right, she loves him
>>564956321 Wrong he was her first and and only friend at the time plus they consistently are on good terms and she literally only kills him when she literally doesn’t remember him, holy fake fan who didn’t read jesus
Pre gamer outfit drop Darumi gaming (although it looks like it’s just saya no uta)
>>564988839Those numbers are made up, we don't know the exact moment Darumi stopped being Darumi.
>>564990221Darumi stopped being Darumi in Killing Game routeIn Retsnom we have real Darumi
Yoshida and Denji
>>564990638you're just into girls that can vore people
>>564990221Yes we do. Sometime between day 72-77 but 77 is when she comes into Takumi’s room. Day 72 she says she’s gonna be sleeping for even longer, then she gets up day 77 and the shift has occurred in personality (whether she did it on purpose or not).Regardless the point still stands that the screenshot is from day 9. Much prior to when they even get their hands on Retsnom on day 41 even if you wanna say she changed sometime after that point before day 72
>>564990820Darumi in Retsnom is really charming and kindDarumi in Killing Game is pure Oyama's fanfic
>>564990942True!
>>564990748
>>564990942While I agree going off of just route 0 Oyama’s interpretation didn’t feel wrong. Kodaka wasn’t even supposed to write more routes anyways
>>564990748>bracesFucking no.
>>564990186Chest size cope
What did (you) do for Hundred Line?
>>564991440I like her with whatever size

>>564990186God damn. I need me a GF like this.
>>564994831Indeed
>>564998832I've got something else she can blow.
>>564998970Hospital.
>>564999489No, that's Eito's business
>>564999967So her parents home.
>>565000192
I can't wait to see Eva in the manga! She's gonna look great!
>>565000712Her bust will be legendary.
>>565000712I want to see a close-up of her huge ass.
>>565000712Maybe the manga artist will give her a kinder fate
>>565002713If I saw that I would have to pause my reading to take care of a certain issue that will "arise".
>>564960189>Kodaka genuinely believes HL was at least Top 5 games of the yesr and people who didn't like it didn't play itHow good must his farts smell if he's huffing them that much?
>>565004128what did he mean by this?
Google Translate was pretty rough with this one, anyone else able to get the gist? From what I could tell it sounds like they got Yugamu too into games >>565004235Especially when he didn’t work on 90% of it Uchikoshi was in charge of all the routes except the first two Kodaka did
>>565004409>Especially when he didn’t work on 90% of itwhat a fraud
Shhh
>>565005012An old go to. Irritated he largely only gets credit but I am also aware that’s the perk of being the one who delegated all the work as the man in charge, he gets the credit for the final product cause he told Uchikoshi to do it and without that it wouldn’t have existed at all.
>>565005340Get that white Demon away from Takumi
>>564990882there's no clear point, just about everything in retsnom past absorption is ambiguous between whether it's retsnom in control, or real darumi trying to push you away out of fear of what she's becoming.turning into a massive purple mass? is that a sign of how far retsnom's taken things, or her trying to scare you into no longer caring about her?the personality shift? it could be seen as a cheap copy of her but also as the real her trying to make you think she's gone.even the assimilation decision can be seen as retsnom wanting to spread its control, or as a scared, suicidal girl trying the most desperate thing she can to get herself killed before she ends up hurting everyone. if you say yes, that may be the point where she decides to trust you and finally let go.I find the route most tragic if you assume she holds control until the very end, she IS the perfect host after all, but the ambiguity is very much part of the experience and it makes me sad when people just jump to a specific point where human darumi ends and false darumi begins.
Fine I guess I'll try to finish more routes in hundred line even though I still don't want to kill Eito
They're really mad about it...
>>565007976It's funny, cause I've been to 3 cons since playing HL and have seen way more Ima cosplayers than Nozomi
>>565007976Nozomifags saying this after she didn't fell off top 5 is so funny
>>565008487It's not just that she fell off top 5She fell down FOUR RANKS
>>565007159I would still say 72-77 is the point of pure absorption where it is just Retsnom but whether Darumi fully retained herself or not is left up to interpretations in the endings. Refuse her end wonders if it was an act and she was self aware, accept her largely hints that it is different from original Darumi because she ‘remembers’ how she felt about wanting Takumi to accept her. But everyone else post absorption largely lines up with their original selves so it’s hard to say how it worked out.Regardless I did mention that the main point was saying that day 9 Darumi is still just Darumi whether you interpret her as being absorbed whenever later
>>565007976wow maybe i don't feel bad for nozomifags after all
nozomifags cry out as they strike
https://litter.catbox.moe/qe1ab7s1i1vvtm1x.jpg
>>565009539Why did you post this
>first poll>not everyone has finished the game>Nozomi ranks high>second poll>majority has finished the game>Nozomi drops offMakes you think doesn't it
>>565011193I told you guys that Hiruko's popularity would only grow once people actually started reaching SF.
>>565011193Nozomifags are also so fucking annoying so she deserves it
>>565011452That route lowered her in my personal ranking lol
>>565011506I'm sorry about you being a woman. I hope you get better.
>>565011753I’ve done many a ramble here already about how I don’t like how she is in SF due to not being into the dom shit and wanting her to be equal with Takumi.
If Takumi likes dominant women, then everytime Nozomi is mean to him... he secretly enjoys that no? What's the big issue then
>>565012607I think he just likes women who like him
>>565011193>Majority has finished the gamenot going by steam cheevos, buncha guide-using stream-watching secondaries
>>565012887Takumi is literally me fr
>>565011506her being driven crazy by the timeloops to intentionally fuck over her friends for her own selfish needs was an unexpected yet kino angle to Hiruko
>>565013520That part brought her back up a bit but there’s just too much of her dom shit throughout the entire route it’s still a net negative. I think the slasher Hiruko writer could’ve written their regular interactions better especially since they’re both supposed to remember it anyways but then certainly don’t act like it>>565013419Was tempted to say ‘like most guys’ lol
>>565013520>her being driven crazy by the timeloopsskill issue
>>565014071>‘like most guys’The fact that I can't even say this is a lie hurts my ego :(
>>565013520>>565014098I recommend Raging loop to see this kind of scenario pushed way worse than Hiruko got (and to be specific to see a person lose it way worse). I found it very interesting to see and also understood why it was getting brought up in HL discussions back in the /v/ threads. Hiruko very lucky her loops were so damn long and didn’t involve a damn killing game scenario every time
It’s kinda near people still do Karua stuff but looking at it just makes me sad. Didn’t bother translating beforehand what this says
>>565017942*neat
>>565007976>always outside top 10 in poll rankings>0 relevant screentime after R0>still get more merch than tsubasa and nozomiHow does he do it?
>>565018183Ogata maybe
>>565018183He cute
>>565018183I hope they never remove the twins from the lineups so I could always see Nozomifags malding out of jealousy
>>565018183Ima should get to shoot somebody so Ogata can make more truth bullet references
GIWTWM
>>565019725Why is Takumi pressing his face into Hiruko's armpit? Is he a fucking useless dumb ugly slow unmanly pervert? (The answer is yes btw)
>>565019872Yes
>>565009539Yeah I was expecting a nui being fucked this is worse
>>565020776I'm getting totono flashbacks...
>>565019725I don’t like whoever drew this
>>565021065Why?
>>565017942The invaders took this from you.
>>565019725takuhirudaru kinda goes hard
>>565019725This would be better if I was Takumi, but I was sitting in between Hiruko and Darumi and the were both pressing their boobs on me.
>>565021104Dom Hiruko sub Takumi stuff just rubs me the wrong way but then I also don’t care much for Hiruko and Darumi. Even with Takumi at the end of SF being more okay with being called a servant he’s still the hero that saves her. She spent decades on her own failing and Takumi only being aware of 4 routes was able to rescue her from time hell
You know I was just thinking, how come Eito learned how to talk let alone do it so smoothly? I'm not sure if his cognitive disorder would distort the words themselves or just make it unbearable to listen to. Depending on the severity I could see him learning after a bunch of disastrous speech therapy sessions but I would imagine he'd at least have some kind of accent (I assume he doesn't, I'm deaf so I can't check this) since it'd be hard to fine tune the details
>>565021879at some point you're gonna have to get over it, dom in charge of a harem is Hiruko's stated ideal relationship
>>565009539>that single hair strand on top rightDisgusting whore.
>>565022059True believers figure she’s grown past wanting that after being trapped in time hell for 40 years. And that she’d be okay being monogamous with just Takumi and getting married. When she said she wanted otherwise she still thought she had a future and only 1 life.But during her loops she developed into only protecting Takumi at all cost. And he’s the one who freed her. Who else could match that? Basically Kodaka’s cuck scenario and Uchikoshi’s don’t quite align which is fine cause Hiruko was only made for Uchikoshi to work with so that’s the only interpretation that matters
>>565022505>True believers figure she’s (HEADCANON)at a certain point you're just making an OC that looks like her
>>565021879am i misunderstanding something or is the reason you don't like it because you think >if she's making him sub she must have less respect for himi don't think this is true at all if so
>>565022637It is a literal fact that Uchikoshi Hiruko and Kodaka Hiruko are very different. And it is being disingenuous to say that reading her interpretation as a person that would sacrifice entire timelines for Takumi would then afterwords want to form a harem. She was willing to accept her fate being punished for eternity for recreating the slasher route to hear Takumi says he loves her, that doesn’t sound like harem hoe Hiruko to me.>>565022803No because I believe Takumi has more masculine pride than that. He fought her bullshit to the end albeit I was disappointed when he did mention he was becoming more okay with being called her servant
>>565022803NTA but women being dom is a myth, most of them tend to be subAnyways, submissive men give me the ick
>>565023281me too
You guys have no taste I wish I had a submissive man
>>565023121>I believe Takumi has more masculine pride than that.now that's just crazy talk
>>565023536Guys either largely want to be equal or on top. But I think most just want a normal vanilla relationship without any weird imbalances.
>>565023536It's different for gay people.
>>565023281something something don't say all swans are white because it only takes a single black swan to disprove it and you'll look like a dumb pig when it happens something something
>>565023628Manga artist man gets it
>>565023121>takumi has more masculine pride than thatkodaka said he's a switch..
>>565023945Tbh I hate how most artists draw Takumi so femininely to the point where he might as well be a girl. This is a nice breath of fresh air and I wish more art was like it (including porn so I can imagine breaking down his spirit better)
He's so cute bros...
>>565023801And yet if you say most women are submissive in bed, feminists will instantly label you a sexist
>>565024472At this point I'm just hoping that AI sex robots become a thing so that we can stop paying attention to females.
>>565024673broke dog thinks he'll be able to afford one lmao
>>565024114I imagine this has to be humbling for her. Uchikoshi had no problems with making Sigma and Phi equal, makes it just more annoying that Takumi and Hiruko weren’t the whole time
>>565023121>It is a literal fact that Uchikoshi Hiruko and Kodaka Hiruko are very different. >And it is being disingenuous to say that reading her interpretation as a person that would sacrifice entire timelines for Takumi would then afterwords want to form a harem. She was willing to accept her fate being punished for eternity for recreating the slasher route to hear Takumi says he loves her, that doesn’t sound like harem hoe Hiruko to me.Uchikoshi Hiruko is a hundred years older than Kodaka Hiruko
Submissive men are really hot actually but I am also a fujo so my opinion hardly matters
I HATE TAKUMIWHY IS HE SO LUCKY
>>565025320Okay? Majority of your post is my own text without your own impression. What do you want to say? For or against harem? Cause with just what you put there it doesn’t read. My own impression here >>565022505is that when it was younger Kodaka her who thought she had 1 life ahead of her and a future she would’ve wanted a harem. But with being trapped for all those years and only being willing to sacrifice timelines for only Takumi that it could be seen that she’s more okay with just having Takumi. Are you saying Uchi Hiruko is more mature because for sure she is she’s at least 50 from being trapped. And that’s minimum based on what she can or can’t remember.
>>565025563Holy cleavage
>>565025448Thoughts on himes? (Women who are into yuri)
>>565025448>Submissive >HotI'm not against the concept of bottoms being desirable, but hot? I would say they are cute.

>>565026319I wish I could have that.
>>565026319
>>565026224I have an illness called being a fujo, hime and yume all at the same time though if i I had to say which one I lean towards more I'd say yume > hime > fujo
>>565023801>don't say all swans are white because it only takes a single black swan to disprove itIf only women followed this simple advice instead of constantly shitting on all men...
>>565026998That would require them to evolve sentience.
>>565026998if only nozomifags would just never reply to any post i make ever again
>>565026998it's already been proven the Hundred Line fanbase is all girls, any incelposting here is just a self-hating fujo that thinks the incels fuck each other in the ass
>>565027812Wanna bet?
>I heard that Aotsuki, Sumino, and Omokage were popular among the male characters, but which female character was the most popular?>These are Amemiya Darumi, Shizuhara Hiruko, and Tsukumo Kako.>While female fans tended to choose the three characters mentioned earlier, male fans were more in favor of Kawana Tsubasa. This is because she is one of the few more traditionally feminine characters.>Because she's a decent person.https://www.famitsu.com/article/202604/72041kek
>>565029175Well that's explains why she doesn't appear on merch. It's because men would rather buy figures and hundred line has too many fujos.
who in their right mind wants to buy a 300 dollar plastic pukei pukei
>>565029175Nozomifags can't stop losing
>>565029135BOOBA
90% women btw
>>565030309You can actually see two (2) boobas.
>>565030458>which is worryingthe Eitaku cg sealed the deal, Hundred Line is a fujo game, it'll only see fujobucks now
>>565030458You know when heroines like nozomi and Hiruko are neglected in merch it's because it's a fujo game
Kodaka's POV
>>565030897Hundred Line 3 will a yaoi otome
>>565031361lmao>>565031362>Hundred Line 3 will a yaoi otomeimagine
>>565031361this but unironically
>>565007976Why are these hoez so jealous of my man ima? my man is doing good and these jealous ass haters be hatin on my boi looks like you niggas got:
>The Simpsons.Latin American loves The Hundred Line.
>>565029175>>565029886That’s also why there’s barely any Tsubasa fanart. Male fans basically have no creative talent. They can’t draw or write anything. They don’t buy merch, they don’t go to events, and they lack the social skills to even talk to each other. All they’re good at is sitting behind a keyboard and complaining about "too many fujos."
>>565032242I mean one of regulars, DoctorGreen, is a literal mexican, so yeah
>>565032561We have evolved past the need for manual drawing.
>>565032952>can slop up literally anything with his fancy computer>so uncreative he just spams shit he can find thousands of drawn images of

Does HL still have to pray for porn artists like afrobull to make porn of its women
>>565032242Can confirm.
Karua towards takumi when she notices takumi has been acting weird lately https://youtu.be/xf-QTw615b4?si=ztNaVmunHrHroKtr

Do we still like Kako?
>>565037468No

>>565039189I thought those were pants. Good lord.
Route where all SDU members kick Kodaka's ass?
I find it funny how people insist that Nozomi is an important character and thus should get merch. Nozomi isn't important to Takumi, KARUA is>BUT KARUA IS NOZOMI90% of the game he doesn't know that
>>565043143Retarded waifufag.
>>565043143Isn't it the other way around? At the end of Route 0 he believes Nozomi is Karua and pretty much never learns otherwise outside of a handful of endings.
>>565043585>zero argument
>>565039004
After finishing Kyoshika's section of the romance route I felt my mind tuning out so I jumped to Serial battles which I assume will be just as boring
>>565043705Kek, it looks perfect on Ima.
>>565044361If you like the battle system, it's a great route.
>>565044423
>>565044361Serial Battles was good when you were forced to do every single battle
>>565043705Ima would love everything tacos...
>>565033392Don't bother arguing with AIsloppers, their brains have rotted to the point of no return, just ignore them and they'll go away.
>>565043705
>>565045335There was no argument in the first place.
Sex with Kako
>>565045964We want to have that.
>>565043705>>565045591Imelda Tzucumo and his sister Cora Tzucumo…
>>565033392Fujos for all their crimes against humanity are actually pretty creative people in general, most waifufags are not
>>565046208The irony of this post is that it is the waifufags who are creating the source material that fujos riff off of in the first place.
The twins are streamsniping Takumi.
>>565046346Kodaka is a fujo, retard-kun
>>565046156Why is she fat here
>>564958737No, they're not.
>>565045591Even I would be terrified to be hit with Kakos La Chancla
>>564984402It just sounds like a mundane NTR fetish or trolling.
>>565048091I love and hate this so much
>>565026767Is this self-loathing?
>>565039189>>565039253Look at her neck. She's wearing a body stocking.
>>565048934Nice catch.
>>565048589Yes you are correct
>>565049565Hell yeahAlso happy I beat multiple peoples asses at HL debates today get fucked
>>565050981HL debates? Was there a competition I didn't know about?
>>565051017More just arguing over interpretations. You got one you want to argue over? I’m conscious for probably at least another hour (booze in my veins)
>>565051279I don't bother to come up with interpretations of Kodaka's stuff
>>565051984I think this is the only work that allows for outside the box thinking. Can think of alt routes and whatnot and they can be canon because of alt infinite scenarios
>>565052129Then what's really the point of arguing over interpretations?Since you can think of infinite scenarios
>>565038164Make that three, I just don’t avatarfag. Honestly it makes sense Ima is popular with us when you consider the cultural aspects
>all nozomi hate is just foid rage at how perfect Nozomi iskeklmao even
>>565053797True...
>>565053346Raping my little chud son
>>565053346Me touching Takumi
Mexicans, Slavs, Balkans ITT
>>565052368I argue with people over canon details that are pre existing. Things that exist in the actual game, I think it’s fine to wonder and think of post game stuff but when it comes to in game details I know what’s up I like pointing out things to people. No specifics you were wondering about HL to ask about though? I have a few ideas for how Darumi could be happy with Takumi in an alt route what kind of alt routes did you have in mind
Oh my god I just realized looking at my Danganronpa poster I’ve had for years that this sonovabitch has had that weird circle lighting thing before what the hell
Good morning.>>565031362Just otome.>>565054195That's right.
>>565056896Whaaat
>>565056896This fanbase is so gay, like actually gay.
>>565057573Straight male HL fans stopped existing a long time ago
>>565057573Straight, 90% of fanbase are women.
>>565057573>women like cute boys >that's gayHuh
>>565057963Ew, that's even worse
hey femoids, how does it feel like enjoying a game written exclusively by 50 year old men who lust after teenage girls?
>>565054195CУКA БЛЯДЬ
>>565058227Kodaka is a fudan.
>>565058227>staight men exist to satisfy fujo's fantasiesSisters, we won so much!
>>565058227We don’t care who writes it as long as they keep writing cute boys
>>565058324If he was then Yugamu would be a lot more prevalent.
>>565058227Danganronpa was my guilty pleasure, but now I'm not hiding anymore that I truly enjoy Kodaka's works, except Raincode.
>>565057884This fandom would be a lot more insufferable if the game appealed more to straight dudes
>>565058658True. Women just simply can't behave themselves when they're in the presence of straight men.
>>565058882They would stay away from you, because you stink.
>>565058658true, but there is a gradient of insuffurability based on the percentage of males in a fandom>50-80% male fanbasemost toxic fanbases. Pokemon, League of Legends, Fortnite>80-95% male fanbasestill very toxic but more relaxed around acquaintances. Shooterfags, sports players>95-100% male fanbasenot toxic but very autistic. Grand strategy, town management/sim games>49-10% male fanbaseagain, not very toxic but the men inside the fanbase tend to have persecution complexes and are generally creeps
>>565059045Okay but let's be honest, we're all buying Hundred Line skins if they get added to Fortnite.

Now I'd like to see a Hundred Line BR. >>565059770>>565060190Fortnite came out in 2017 but Hundred Line only came out last year. Mathematically speaking, Fortnite has the older audience.
>>565060005I played Hunger Games on Minecraft servers in 2010s. Is that a simular thing?
>>565056516Who'd the heroine be?
>>565060280>Fortnite has the older audience.I don't think so. My nephew who's 15 years old plays Fortnite. This game gives me epilepsy.
>>565060635Darumi, because she likes VNs, but she would hate that it's not hardcore eroge.
>>565060280Cocomelon has existed for longer than Ready or Not 2
>>565060785I don't think she's well adjusted enough to be a romance protagonist. She's also too gay to be an otome. Then again, Shuten Order was a yuri game despite Rei being the most sexless protagonist imaginable.
>>565061040Maybe Kiyoshika then.
>>565060635Kako because she has some weird fantasies sometimes.
Dating Eito or Yugamu as otome protagonist.
Any word on if the stage play is adapting the various routes as distinct timelines, or if they'll be incorporated into 2nd Scenario? I ask because I've given some thought the possibility of an anime adaptation combining other routes with 2nd Scenario, and I've determined that any route that includes Futuran civilians (Rebellion, Goodbye Eito, Box of Blessings, etc.) is incompatible with 2nd Scenario's ending. It's important to the ending that the only interaction the SDU has with the Futuran natives before that point is the enemy commanders and Nozomi takes a leap of faith in gesturing for peace with the Futuran kids.
>>565060005I've never played Fortnite either. Not because I'm a woman (I'm not,) but because I'm 37 and don't like shooters.
>>565030458Apparently his real name is Takumi. I’m so jealous. Imagine getting your name called in Eito’s sweet voice.

>>565072167Skill issue.
Which girl wanted Takumi's dick the least (excluding Moko)?
>>565072630All of them. Oh wait you were talking about Takumi, I thought you were talking about me.
>>565072630Nozomi
>>565072167Do they go out of their way to say they hate Takumi in your posts?
>>565072630Maybe Nozomi? Darumi and Kako are good contenders too.
>>565072630Gaku
>>565072630All of them. Any female romance done with Takumi is OoC or happens because of false pretense.
>>565072630I wish Redditors made a count for each character in how many routes they were against Takumi.
>>565072962Gaku is not a girl...
Gaku doesn't have a computer...
Takumi will literally touch anyone except for Darumi for some reason
>>565073136But Gaku pleases old men for money though.
>>565073145Gaku literally does not have the time for gamingHe's the opposite of being jobless, he has too many jobs
>>565073136Gaku should have been a girl, so I'll treat him as one until the day I die.
>>565073272He would make more money using Internet.
female gaku would just be Kurara
>>565073496You have to finish route zero before posting here, anon...
>>565072850I never fucking say that I hate Nozomi, I point out the flaws their hypocrisy on demonizing Takumi while consistently ignoring Nozomi's shortcomingsThey treat her like she's a saint and she's purging the evil Takumi

Why do they keep seething at Ima?
>>565074557Because all his merch is undeserved because he's not popular
Am I the only one that thinks Eva route is overhated? What hell are they talking about Eva having Stockholm Syndrome?
>>565074316
>>565074724Ima's China set plushie left, the rest were sold.
>>565074557>shouma gets merch over nozomixD
>>565074737Stockholm Syndrome is a myth
>>565074737I liked Eva route, but ending where Takumi is back.
You know the funniest thing that could happen is Karua getting merch and Nozomifags doing mental gymnastics to claim that as Nozomi merch
>>565074557>WAAAAAAAAH MUH TWINS
>>565074986>making up scenarios in xis head because of his warped view of Nozomiyup, anti-Nozomifags are retarded
>>565073747>>565074329Takumi belongs on Eito
>>565075179Where's your merch Nozomifag?What's your """main""" heroine doing in 9th place?
>>565075393Main heroines are never at the top, that's just a fact of life.
>>565074557>uchikoshi was at least able to force him to put hiruko and shoumaIs Uchikoshi a Shouma fag? Really feels like Kodaka did more with him than any other route writer.
>>565075393>Where's your merch Nozomifag?being held hostage by Kodaka's nepo babies (the twins)>What's your """main""" heroine doing in 9th place?of course a character drops in popularity when the company making the merch refuses to give her anything.Too bad the abundance of merch couldn't save Ima from being wildly disliked by the majority of the fanbase. Sowwy :(
that padzomi image was 100% deserved
>>565075580>Kyoko, Chiaki, KaedexD
>>565075719What do you mean deserved? For what or to who?
>>565075580>Chiaki>Kaede>Kyoko>>565075654of course a character drops in popularity when the company making the merch refuses to give her anythingHiruko was on the same bench until recently (her last collab was the maid one)
>>565075580Nice copium.
>>565075807>Kaede>main heroine
>>565076003Yes, Kaede is a main heroine. Like it or not.
You know it's funny how Hiruko stole Nozomi's spot in the top ten and also stole the merch slot from herThe rightful main heroine takes her rightful place from the fraud
>>565075972>Hiruko was on the same bench until recently (her last collab was the maid one)they showed the gamer collab before the poll was held. Hiruko appearing on the the collab influenced the votes and gave her a huge boost.Nozomi would be 1st female character by a long mile if she got even half the merch the twins get.
>>565076125>main heroine >disappears after 1/6 of the game
>>565076173lolwutPeople don't choose the characters they like based on who gets merch, it's the other way around
>>565074557One look at their profile pic tells you enough
>>565076304>People don't choose the characters they like based on who gets merchno it's exactly like that, actually
>>565075807Because they were their games' most popular female characters, not because they're heroines. Nozomi can't relate.
>>565076330This. Kyoshika isn't hated enough.
>>565076180>Kaede leaves a bigger impact in a short period>Nozomi has an entire game with multiple routes and endings and still falls flatWaowzers
>>565076479They're all heroines.
>>565076490reddit queens
I still don't understand why you people enjoy bullying Nozomifags and don't give a fuck about Shoumafags or Takemarufags
>>565076559The point is their status as heroines doesn't matter, it's them being the most popular female characters.
>>565076597Nozomi is simply too much of a stacy and makes femcels rage at how superior and beloved she is
This argument looks so artificial...
>>565076739>Nozomi>stacy Delulu
>>565076597Neither of those fans whine as much as Nozomifags because they know both Shouma and Takemaru are unpopular
>>565076739At least 70% of HL fans in Japan are womenYour incel argument has no power here
>>565076739Holy true
>>565075654>>565075972Merch has little to do with polls at this point, even ignoring that Nozomi has been in about as many merch campaigns as every other non-Takumi/Eito/Twins character. Even if you believe that though, the twins have the most merch and are among the least popular characters. It just comes down to people not really liking Nozomi.Her design is pretty bland, her character writing is basic, I think you honestly have to kind of be a fag to be all that into her.If you're a beta who needs agreeable woman, you have Tsubasa.You want a sisterly character? Kako.You want a dominant girl who'll say your dick is small? Masked Kurara.You want a girl who gives you a disappointed lok everytime you talk to her? Hiruko. etc etc etcAdding onto that, Nozomi has about two routes that end in real romance with her, and often she just feels token otherwise and completely lacking in character, and this isn't a fault of route writers, the issue is just that she is completely uninteresting. She's just a very normal human girl with a dead mom.
>>565076180>>565076003>>565075807The main heroine of V3 is Maki.
nozomi isn't a stacy her only friend before joining the war was takumi
>>565076739>Nozomi>stacy Literally her fans are either mentally ill cuck gooners or draw her being abused, covered in piss or having mommy issues
>>565077251(You)
Not having a Nozomi path in the Romance route was dumb
>>565077251Well, yes. Kaede is false protagonist.
>>565077184>You want a perfect girl that is always right and lovely? Nozomiit really is that shrimple
>>565077325She was in the Romance route and she had her path
>>565077184So how do they agree on which characters they should put on collabs if it's not about popularity?
>>565077319She is.She's the character who takes in and represents the themes of the game adjacent to Shuichi, has an arc spanning the entire work, and was also the first female character ever shown for the game if you want to go even further.
>>565046156Cute!
>>565077452They just decide probably based on these things.>#1: Limited to a max of 8 charactersAs seen with most of the collabs, likely to not create confusion.>#2: No Spoiler CharactersSo, no Shion of V'ehxness merch, that kind of thing.>#3: Diverse Spread of Popular and Middling CharactersLike how Shouma appeared in this collab. If it was all about popularity, Gaku would be the fourth male character for the gamer collab, not the dead last guy.
>>565077456then why is there no playboy bunny maki figurine?
>>565077648Because she's not sexy and unpopular
>>565077456>represents the themes of the game adjacent to Shuichi,Like fucking what?
>>565077604>>#2: No Spoiler CharactersThey had a merch showcase in the event and it included the three spoiler characters. Not necessarily a collab, but still. It should mean that the ban of spoilers is over.
shitposting aside, I don't hold any grudge to Kako and Ima for the merch. The real reason why they get a lot of merch is because Megumi Ogata and Rikako Ito are from the same talent agency, have close relationships to Tookyo Games, and regularly appear at Hundred Line events.It's just logistically easier to give them merch, especially if Megumi and Rikako vouch for their characters to get merchandise.
>>565077846when will Kako-G get merch?
>>565078239>reused Kurara spritesNever.
>>565076597Because the former are the most vanilla tumblrites who want the forced interest catty girlboss.So much of the routes is padding where takumi freaks over nozomi and it goes absolutely nowhere every single time. He fucks her in cult route and nobody cares.I just hope that 3 starts with everyone knowing the truth because going through all that padding again knowing 90% is irrelevant or straight up fabricated will drive me insane
I'm honestly tempted to draw this with Eito telling Nozomi "the quatret is full"
>>565078117I don't think their fame and connection has anything to do with itI'd understand if it's a voiced merch but it's literally just a bunch of plastic
Sex with Nozomi roleplaying as Karua
Honestly I just think it’s funny that she’s had her main character role usurped by >the homo main antagonist >a girl who dies within the first few days of most routes>a okama who doesn’t even have a route >incestuous twins who don’t do anything past route 0She’s truly a flop character, I guess when you have a fandom of 90% fujos the waifu stops mattering completely though
>>565079387Add to this that she went 4(!) places down
>>565079387usurped would assume that she used to get merch at the beginning, but even at launch the twins got more merch than Nozomi did.
>>565079774Yeah it was always the same six characters
>>565079857Pretty much. Kodaka had Takumi, Eito, Yugamu, Darumi, Kako and Ima picked to be the merch icons from the getgo.I feel like he's a tad bit upset that Kako and Ima don't perform as good as the other 4 on popularity polls, because otherwise he nailed what the top 4 characters will be.
>>565080043Well it's Kodaka and Uchikoshi's fault they flopped
I hope we get a twin threesome route before anything Nozomi related
>>565080043It seems like the twins are going to have a route in one of the stage plays though but I don't think he's one of scenario writers there. Whether if it will be treated canon or not is the question...
>>565080043>I feel like he's a tad bit upset that Kako and Ima don't perform as good as the other 4>didn't give them any routeHis own fault.
>>565080163not their fault the other writers didn't do anything with them.They didn't do anything with Yugamu either in their routes, but Oyama saved his popularity. I feel like Boruto's mangaka was given the role of exploring the twins, but halfway through writing he fell in love with Gaku instead...
>>565080392And Shouma
>>565080392I feel like Darumi won't be as popular as she is now if she didn't have retsnomShe's kind of a one note in kg after all
>Hiruko is willing to let everyone die for Takumi>Tsubasa: I'll take half of your sins, Takumi. In exchange, I'll give you half of my life>Darumi is willing to become a monster for Takumi>Kyoshika is willing to die for Takumi>Kurara would defend Takumi from Gaku tearing on him as his guilt eats him upNozomi you are above Kako and Moko
>>565080726Based Kako and Moko
>>565080726Actually not even that, considering Moko is considerate enough to comfort Takumi after he started freaking out for not being into any of his potential options in the romance route
>>565080923>considering Moko is considerate enough to comfort Takumi after he started freaking out for not being into any of his potential options in the romance routeshe literally punched him unconscious and took him to her room
>>565080392>don't watch over what they're working on>wait until it's release day>wtf what do you mean they didn't give the twins their routes?It's his fault
>schizo is assblasting because of Nozomi for 3 days already.
>>565081124I..totally didn’t forget about that part
>>565081705Cope NozomifagYour girl will not get anything while the twins get everything
The twins deserve everything
>>565080726Eito wants to kill Takumi
Kyoko: 1stChiaki: 2ndKaede: 3rdShinigami: 2ndNozomi: 9thNozomifags...
You're kind of tense, /thlg/.Here, have this:
>>565082170I'm not drinking your fluids, Sirei.
at the end of the day, Darumi won.Flawless victory.
>>565082567300 Line looks great
>>565082035Only one line is gay. The rest would be the same if one of them was a girl.
>>565082170
>>565083217>*those* folksLiterally 90% of the fanbase are women what
>>565083217>Replying to @nozoanalMental illness for such posters to post "uwu it's so problematic how everyone hates Nozomi for being a strong woman"
>>565083217>saying all this because nozomi wasn't included in the collabDamn
Why do people even care about acrylic stands and pins so much?
>>565083217Seeing how unpopular Shion is, it’s pretty obvious Nozomi would still be unpopular even if she were a male character.
>>565084353It's not about the merch. It's about the new art. They don't like it when their favorites don't appear
>>565084353new merch = new content
>>565083006So it would be straight then, still sexual.
>>565014071imo, Hiruko isn't truly a dom. it's just a facade, a persona. like what Darumi is doing. I mean sure, she's truly bossy and sassy, but from what I've seen from SF, she mostly does the dom thing cuz she's afraid to be vulnerable. she knows that she's got a a very soft spot for Takumi so she tries to "defend" herself from him. a true dom imo would be someone like Vehx. pure confidence and someone who just takes what they want. she's not afraid to be vulnerable. just compare Hiruko's heart to heart talks vs Vehxness' pool talks
What if Shouma was SEXY?
>>565085618I don't think it's sexual.
>>565086140
>>565086798Why is his face still fat
>>565086140He was sexy in the japanese version of his reward scene in CoT during one line when he put on smooth voice (which was lost in the english version)
>>565087553Everything is lost in the English version
>>565082852I think that's too much even for Kodaka's fetish
>>565088210giantess is definitely not "too much" for Kodaka
