She came.
>>571749474giwtwm
Can't believe they ruined a perfectly good narrative of the credit card and shitim chest just for a quick drama. They got offscreened just like that.
>>571749923I was joking. I just wanted to point out how insanely fucking hot that specific part is.
>>571749797okay but seriously though, this game is so good at making loli designs. it's like they exclusively hired loli-specialized artists
My canon wife Fuuka...
>>571749697Sorry, just like RW, Highlander won’t be getting any content due to the country it’s based on being controversial
>>571750106Highlander is America.
I love Arona so much.
>>571749797guh...Guh...GUH!!!
>>571749968Yes I'm sure sensei just deus ex machina fixing the entire problem for the story that has been built up for 4 years would have been much better.
>>571750138Dumbass/10
>>571750070this cunt is going to break my record (youngest I've nutted to is 9)
>>571750167Is this post supposed to be satire? Yes. Yes, it would. Everything would be so much better.
>>571750214Yuck. That's basically a hag.
Every time you get 2+ copies of the banner student in a single tenner means somekne else has to spark.
>>571750269Wow you really are this retarded.
>>571750289GOOD.
I can't decide if I want to fap to Aris, Shunny + Kokona or the birthday kot. I haven't done it in 3 days and I'm losing my mind.
>>571750314You prefer an epic tale even if it means a shitty outcome.I don't.
To stop yearning is to stop drawing breathI will have you, my lioness
>>571750289Well, I know that someone. He's me.
>>571750424I prefer good writing over bad writing yes.>shitty outcomeIt's not a shitty outcome cause unlike you I have full faith in the writers that they'll bring them back.
>>571750204they use American guns anon
>>571750070Why did they replace the pregnancy buzzer with a tamagochi-looking thing?
>>571750365Bro you missed your Tsurugi fap?
>>571750424Yes.
You could tell they didn’t expect Highlander to be THIS popular considering they put all of their new school eggs into Wildhunt & Odyssey basket
>>571750516anon was saying that America is controversial
>>571749696>basically, women are in an eternal childlike mindsetsigh, its so tiresome
>>571750509It's a shitty outcome for everyone involved in the story. Your or my faith doesn't change that.
>See S.Shun's stats in both variants.>Child version's EX outright nerf itself after using it once.>The cost gain at the start cancels with any other student with said perk (meaning you can't use this alt and base Shun at the same time) and is also a lot weaker than base Shun.Damn so there's really no point in using her child alt at all huh.
>>571750516by that logic Trinity is Israel
>>571750564No sane person ever fapped to Tsurugi. I mean just look at her horrendous appearance.
>>571750636Then by that stupid logic every single story this game has ever told is bad and you just hate Blue Archive so drop the game, fuck off and jump off a bridge.
>>571750651I can think of one use for her
Damn deca is dying kinda fast no?
>>571750651small shun's cost gain is higher than big shun's as long as you have 6 studentsher ex is completely useless so she won't be used for anything other than her basic
>>571750516Airi uses an MP5, she's secretly a Gehenna student

>>571750803She is an undercover Nazi
I really miss the time when Momoi pushes the plot forward, I am hoping it will come again in v2c3.
>>571750795It's marginally higher
>>571749968>>571750269Do you retards forget that the last time sensei used the card to outright solve anything was in vol 3? He has not used the card to outright solve problems even once since then and even in that example it wasn't really the main point of the volume and sensei couldn't use either to actually solve the conflict with Saori and Mika. In terms of the shittim chest there is quite literally not one single example ever in the story's entire history of the shittim chest outright solving the main issue of the volume, it's only ever used to defend sensei
>>571750903Fucking greedy bitch.
>>571750721Why, it's the complete opposite. The other stories are solved by Sensei and, sometimes, his deus ex machina. The parties involved are generally happy by the end of it.
>>571750669Most of Trinity uses Br*tish guns, broNot even all of the sisterhood uses Israeli guns, Wappi uses that bong assault rifle that breaks all the time iirc
>>571751002You literally just said it'd still be bad even if sensei later solves the issue and everyone is happy at the end of it. At least try and keep your argument consistent you shitposting hypocrite.
>>571750167Yes, that's the entire basis for Blue Archive, that's the entire narrative. They literally had a speech in volume 3 explaining "Yes that is what we're about, the happy ending, I don't care if its deus ex or contrived, people that complain about that shit are just retarded, we want the happy ending". People that claim that would make the story worse, have literally not read a single chapter of this story to begin with. The story has made it a point several times "No that is the story".
>>571749797I wonder what kind of post Dorontabigod would have made about them
nyAkari finally got a dangle animation
>>571751083Sakurako uses a very Jewish Tavor, you're thinking of Hanako and Hifumi's L85s
>>571750651Adults are stronger than children desu
>>571750651I could definitely see her being used for a quick and short damage purple team for a raid, just buff her to the max, fire off the EX skill and retreat the team. We have enough buffers nowadays to pull that off, her initial EX damage should be nothing to scoff at.
>Leader of the America-coded school doesn’t have Statue of Liberty cosplay fanartI see how it is
>>571751148When did I ever say that? I said the current outcome is shitty for everyone involved. None of them have that faith.
I just woke up, what's the verdict on Kisaki? Is she giga busted? I mean, I'm gonna roll her regardless, just wanna know if she's worth investing in.
>>571751187You are a tourist, there is literally not a single volume in this game where the issue is resolved through a deus ex machina. You are the one who has not read a single chapter of this story because if you had you'd know the issue is always resolved through logical, believable means.
I already have SHoshino and Mika, do I bite the bullet and get Wakamo from the limited dash? Is she any good?
>>571751285>Leader of the American...She isn'tDo you know anything about her? She's a janny, she's not the leader of anything.
>>571751338Are you saying the card is not deus ex machina
>>571750827sexy seia

Honestly, Kivotos is starting to feel like a mix of both gensokyo from touhou and garden from blacksouls.

>>571751356>Is she any good?Ohnononononono
>>571751594it was always gensokyo with guns
>>571751513It's unexpected to the opponents at least
>>571749797What's an "adult's serious side"?

>>571751409I had to do it
>>571751549Her ass is not that big
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYxuwKqLFak
>>571751314AOE Ui with a side of Seia.100% certain she's gonna be the main focus for a new raid in the future.
>>571751407When does the adult card ever get used as a deus ex machina to hand wave away major problems? The only time it ever gets close to that is saving Mika at the end of vol 3 and even in that specific example the card is shown to have limitations and drawbacks that clearly sets up it not being able to be used on something bigger like Decagrammaton
>>571751764SHUT UP
Come on anon! KIll deca already!
The two stories act as a thesis and antithesis. Volume 2 asks, "Should we ever choose to sacrifice a student?" (No). The Sky of Unity asks, "What do you do when you try your absolute best, and you still can't save everyone?" (You mourn them, you accept the guilt, and you resolve to become stronger).
>>571750803Yeah but >picrel
>>571751667>sidegrade to SeiaKindaSeia gets stronger the more expensive the team is, Kisaki gets stronger the cheaper it is. They are definitely aimed at use in different comps.
>>571751736Millennium is NOT america
>>571751914
>>571749606We got no diffed that badly.
>decagakis perform the ritual of stabbing their elder sister with the sword of sacrifice to let Decagrammaton take over her body>they cry about it saying that they killed Malkuth because they thought that the ritual supposedly erased her data and memories>they perform the reverse of the ritual after learning from Sensei, Kei and Aris that living is not the same as surviving yadda yadda>the reverse ritual is done by taking out the sword of sacrifice to separate the body from Decagrammaton>the original ritual was meant to kill Malkuth but her data was still intact which is a miracle according to the gakis>we hear their gems break soon afterIt's not explicitly stated but the cost of reversing the ritual is meant to be their data because data or memories count as the actual life of an AI as mentioned several times in the story. They managed to perform a miracle of saving their sister and fulfilling their wish of being able to talk to her again even for a little bit. They also broke free from their fate by disobeying and weakening their uncaring master. Looks like a good ending for the gakis since they achieved what they wanted just like P-Sensei.
>>571750776Bratty vending machine spent 4 weeks edging billions of senseis and we finally have the chance to correct her
>>571751356Yesod top meta. Useful in most blue content too.
>>571751981Vol EX has not actually answered the question of what sensei can do about lamenting his weakness. Vol EX is the very clear emotional dip in the story where the hero is at his lowest and there will be pay off later on for that answer. I have 100% confidence that the deca triplets are going to come back at some point because if htey don't that narrative arc would have been set up with no pay off and with how they've mentioned in in quite literally every single volume since vol F I'd say it's something the writers are waiting to pay off. I honestly have to say if you don't think they're going to come back then you don't know anything about story telling.
>>571751981Wrong, you save them anyway. That's the point of blue archive
>>571752018Rio uses a 1911. The America juice on it seeps out and changes the DNA of anything it touches to Amercan.
What are your students like this, Sensei?
>>571749486Unfortunately it's just a sisterly oath cup
>>571751823304, 305 and 306 is peak BA OST. This is Re Aoharu tier kino.
>>571751314I don't want to think for myself so I'll wait for the chinese and japanese to tell me what to think
>>571751285She's gonna be leader of the all-consuming megacorporation too. Quintessentially American
>>571751314She's strange, her kit is an antithesis to the way kits have been moving towards to, she offers very powerful cost generation but nothing else, this in an era of compacting as many roles as possible into a single student. She'll definitely have her uses, but it needs to be a raid where you can afford to free up a student slot for the sole sake of getting more cost. We'll have to see. JFD is definitely a guaranteed staple
>>571751873Hiero, Set, VF repeatedlyGematria all describe it as an unsurpassable tool, whose only limitation is Sensei's life force.
>>571752307>muh logic and reasoning>uses 7+1 capacity .45she's so fucking retarded
soon
>>571750993It's just that I like the mystery of the credit card and how powerful it is due to it's meta narrative. Sure it doesn't solve the actual issue between the students but it's there to give absolute victory to the player against characters that should have been outside of the narrative like gematria. However for that meta aspect to be defeated simply because the writer made it so feels like a betrayal. And with the added knowledge that the story is made by new writers it felt like they didn't truly understand what the credit card and shitim chest is supposed to represent. I think the last time Sensei properly used the credit card was back on Vol1 chapter 3 and that story was written by Pikaman. The first time the new writers tried adapting the credit card and shitim chest to the story is in Deca and they failed horribly. I haven't read the Arius volume so maybe the new writers can prove me wrong but for now I don't have fate with the new writers when it comes to handling the meta narrative the original writers have cooked.
>>571751736>America-coded>No cowboys>No burgers>School hates FREEDOM and keeps locking Koyuki up>No beef with the bong school>America gets two representatives for some reasonI duno chief.
>>571752174Yeah, maybe don't always kill yourself if you want to teach your students to never kill themselves.Jokes aside, did you notice what the Stigmata of the reverse ritual were?A butterfly crawling out of it's cocoon, a baby being born (Both of which should be concepts with no relevance to a supposed machine) and the transmutation of matter.The denial of the godhead is a ritual of rebirth for the mortal realm, you know, the ones without halos.
>>571752273Theoretically, how many years of radio silence would it take for you to stop thinking that?
I love Iroha
>>571752686
>>571752615>"Pikaman is the real true blue archive writer and the new ones are bad" shitpostEvery time
Millennium is obviously Korea wtf
>>571752680I think you missed the point of the game, buddy. We're all about the happy ending and miracle where everyone is saved.
malcute love
anons how do I procure 35k out of my ass?
>>571752174That's a good take and I thought about similarly but with more of them realizing their humanity aspect but I can't wait for the rest!
>>571752826>Nell>Alice>Noah>AmyNot to mention the guns
I haven't really thought about it before, but does that fact that Arona's and Plana's halos are the only ones to shape shift mean anything or is it done fore cuteness alone?
>>571752680EoS many. Until then I'll simply believe in the happy ending.
>>571752857I am too. That's why I'm shook at what happened to that. That's why I asked theoretically. Would you still be thinking that if there's no sign of that in 5 years?
>>571752883prostitute yourself
>>571752883Well there is a way. And it even involves your ass
>>571752883get a job. buy pakeji
>>571752857The fact that you didn't answer his question proves that you're just a shitposter and don't actually play the game.
True ending
>>571752883by selling it
/bag/, what would you do in this situation?
>>571752883
would you buy a /bag/got's "services", /bag/?
For Kei to use her basic skill you need to wait for EX to end right? So you can't just spam it
>>571752626That’s just the power of America broEither that, or Highlander is actually Confederacy-coded
Everyone has been talking about the new event and having sex with characters so much, that no one has even talked about the other game updates. Like Karin, Iroha, and the other ones new momotalks and their bond gear.
>>571752883Ask Arona where mine have gone and you can have them.She's taken 4 sparks in as many weeks.
>>571752615honestly the new writers are a lot better
>>571752174>Looks like a good ending for the gakis since they achieved what they wanted just like P-Sensei.>>571666024
>>571752998probably guh
>>571752670>Deca brats sacrificed themselves to undo their mistake and save their elder sister>Malkuth, now lost, on her own and with no purpose will find a way to save her younger sisters, the only thing she really cared aboutI have no idea why people think anything different will happen. Of course Malkuth will find a way to save them why wouldn't she? I think the writers just wanted to keep it more vague this time unlike with Kei so it actually hit more emotionally and yeah guess what it worked. Everyone loved vol EX.
I will never shut the fuck up about her
>>571751549Like I said I'm rolling her regardless. Question is whether I dump a full 200 for elephs or stop early.
>>571752883Skip Koyuki?
>>571752883Just skip someone
>>571753043she's at trinity bwo
We will see decunnies again someday.
>>571753031I can’t read Japanese unfortunately. Does anyone translate bond gear momos?

they made her swimsuit too conservative
If Highlander is America, what would their accents be?
>>571753384your mom lost
>>571753218>retards don't believe in the happy ending>accuse others of "Not getting" BAVol EX is the ultimate tourist exposer.
>>571752580Despite her claims to rationality Rio clearly values brute force and aesthetics over everything else
>>571753402Their difference is that you can easily tell big Shiroko is, well... bigger Shiroko. As for the right ones, i actually took some time to figure out they're the same person.
>>571753362Lying about what the japs think? Read their reactions yourself if you don't believe me. Watch the 感想 streams. Their overwhelming opinion is that:1. the story was good2. they're dead foreverSome are saying they would be fine if they came back but they don't believe it's realistic. Some are even saying they don't want them to come back (a post was linked here with several thousand likes saying it would ruin their beautiful sacrifice if they returned)
I like how many of the gripes some of the people here have with vol EX stem from them having the emotional maturity of a toddler
>>571753425Would I what
>>571753218
>>571753481What is her malfunction?
>>571753071I find them much more level and average compared to before. The prior team had much higher highs, but some low as fuck valleys. The new team hits neither extreme to me, neither terrible nor exceptional, just "fine". Which is a positive in its own way but I can see how someone might be let down by it.At least concerning the main story volumes.
>>571753595I wonder if you'd have the same reaction if your studentwife died in the story.
>>571752826No one thinks that except you
>STILL going at itJesus you never give up. What do you hope to achieve? You aren't convincing anyone.
>>571753623Yes.
>>571753623yep
>>571753589NTA but I’m sure most of those thinking they shouldn’t come back wouldn’t be too displeased if the revival was done tastefully, at least as far as the gakis are concerned Yume is a much bigger landmine imo
>>571749797This is actual dialogue...?
>>571753641can't a woman be a little silly? a little bit cartoonish?

>>571753739why do they say mean stuff like that? what's wrong with them?
>>571753682That would never happen because they’d never kill off an established student with a halo, and even if they did, I’d never stop believing she’d come backFor someone who likes to talk about BA being a hope game you sure abandon hope and go for the doompost route very quickly
wordcloud doko
>>571753736That's not even the overall point of the post. The point is Anonymous thinks the story is good because they will get revived in 5 years without any prior hope for the characters who are grieving for them now. While the 'target audience' thinks it's good while not believing that will happen.
>>571753898It's your job to educate them!

>>571753681I wouldn’t say the current heights are that much lower desu, vol EX has been hitting me hard and I loved V5C2. V6 was rough around the edges but still good at its core.
Aomori is Scottish
>>571753402uhh... Spoilers bro?
>>571753907>For someone who likes to talk about BA being a hope game you sure abandon hope and go for the doompost route very quicklyI'm sure you would agree that this is a self-insert game. This hope vs doom stuff in volume 3 was about Seia being the doomer while Sensei beating that with hope. There is no one who has hope in the story now. Sensei is the doomer. So there's no reason for me not to feel the same.
>>571752793Love him or hate him, his writing is the reason we fell in love with the game in the first place.>>571753071Shanhaijing and Wildhunt part 2 was peak. The weakest story they've written off the top of my head was maybe the Trinity summer since I have so much hope for it and that Trinity event stories rarely misses. Plus SMika having a boring momotalk event when her OG version have one of the best made me feel disappointed.

>>571754138For me I think the way the old writers actively avoided using some students was heavily detrimental to the game, whether that was incompetence or sabotage, I am simply happy the new writers are better.
>>571753595>grow up nintoddlers, death makes it mature and deep, more characters must die so we can be a super deep story like FGO, finally people will respect how deep and mature we are for character deathsThe irony is the story was 10x more mature before this. Sometimes you're more mature for understanding a Disney movie should be a Disney movie, and it doesn't need rape and murder to seem deep. Sometimes its alright for miracles to happen in a story of hope.
>>571754248Given how players seemed to be correct in their prediction once again like from when they speculated about the Tachibana twins from appearance alone...that seems interesting to me.

no one must die.
My issue with foresight is not that it makes a game easier. My issue is that it changes what players are competing over.In a synchronized environment, players compete over discovery, optimization, and execution. When new content releases, nobody knows the answer. The community has to figure out what is possible: whether a raid can be one-panned, which units are worth investing in, what the best route is, and where the true damage ceiling lies.In a delayed-server environment, many of those questions have already been answered elsewhere. Future raid metas, future team compositions, and future one-pan clears are often known months in advance. Competition shifts away from discovery and toward preparation. Instead of solving the problem, players prepare for a solution that already exists.This is why I became skeptical of foresight despite benefiting from it. Over time, I felt like I was spending more effort preparing for future content than participating in the process of solving current content. The game increasingly felt like roadmap management.The reason I value discovery more than preparation is that discovery creates knowledge. A new one-pan clear, a new breakpoint, or a new strategy changes what the community understands to be possible. Even players who never reproduce it benefit from the knowledge it creates.Execution still matters, but execution proves what a player can do with existing knowledge. Discovery proves something about the game itself.That is why I find a JP one-pan Lunatic timeline more meaningful than a Rank 1 strategy on a delayed server. The former answers the question, “What is possible?” The latter answers the question, “Who won?” Both are legitimate achievements, but I find the first question more interesting.I am not chasing a rank. I am chasing the frontier.
>>571753681Vol EX is my new favourite volume and after vol 3 and F my 4th favourite is vol 6 so I'd say the highs are just as high but without any of the lows, there has not been a single story addition that has been as poorly written as V2C2 or V1C3 or as dull as V1C1-2 or V4C1. I think the character writing in general has been way better than pre vol F too.
>>571749697Hold on there cowboy, wait until next year. She will be announced then, I can feel it in my bones...
>>571754506I look like this and say this.
The Decalolis are as dead in VEX as Kei was in VF
You actually let Rumi be carried on your back
>>571752826On the off chance you're serious and not just an /int/ poster with an agenda; Millennium doesn't match up with Korea at all. There's 0 of the unique Korean cultural stuff like all the other country-coded schools have. Millennium is one of the 3 superpowers of Kivotos, South Korea is barely the most relevant country in Korea. Korea isn't the world's leading research and innovation hub like Millennium, it's a low-cost manufacturing hub powered by unrestricted corporate oligarchy with just a pinch of research on the side.Millennium isn't country-coded at all, it's just a generic IT school. America happens to be the biggest source of that stuff in the real world so it's not surprising Millennium uses a bunch of burger guns and names.
>>571754662Nope. Himari clearly said that Rio would look into Kei's data when she comes back.
>>571754362Volume 2 / Volume F: Establishes Sensei’s ideals. When Sensei tells Rio that sacrificing Aris is a "cheat," it establishes the moral baseline. An adult must always aim for the perfect outcome, even if it seems mathematically impossible, because giving up on a child is failure.The Sky of Unity: Establishes Sensei’s reality. It tests those ideals under worst-case scenario conditions where a perfect outcome does not exist. If Sensei always won cleanly without consequence, the narrative would lose its tension. By forcing Sensei to endure a flawed choice, the story honors the weight of the earlier debate by showing that holding onto those ideals in a cruel world is agonizingly difficult
>>571752826are there any Korean guns in the game at all? I'm not exactly a /k/fag so I don't know.
Retards
>>571754662I'm glad they're actually treating their death with gravity and not just instantly reviving them in the same volume. They can come back but without losing the gravitas that a child dying brings and cheapening the moment. It needs time to simmer.

>>571754878Kei was not dead. She was in the robot as save data. She even has memories from the gamer maid event as she was tied to the broom.
>>571754731I love how consistently you retards prove>>571753595 right. This nigga unironically lacks object permanence.
>>571754760Currently 0
>>571754861>every student just uses the Mondragon rifleEhhhh
>>571753084They are more like P-Sensei narratively. They were villains who were doing "bad" things to save someone important to them. They were not truly alive just like the walking corpse. They lack mystics and achieve their goals by entrusting their important persons to Sensei. Their lack of mystics are meant to separate their roles from actual students even if they are "kids".
God fucking damn it! I'm not crying, I'm just leaking from my eyes!
>>571754760I'm not aware of any korean original guns
>>571755001see >>571754998
>>571754998The content of this reply is exactly the same as of this reply >>571754731 anonWhy are you struggling to understand the concept of the post?
>>571755093Let it out brother
>>571754821this dance is so cringe I could recognize it even in a simple doodle like this
>>571755067>Their lack of mystics are meant to separate their roles from actual students even if they are "kids".This is objectively wrong because vol EX itself constantly makes it obvious to you the player that the game treats them the same as any students and draws zero separation between the two
>>571753898Kids are just mean bro. I'm not trying to speak to anyone under 20.
you are like a kid sulking about not being able to open his presents instantly
I love all the explosion of loli art whenever blue archive introduces one.
>>571754507My Seia with Seia is not that it makes a Seia easier. My Seia is that it changes what Seias are Seia-ing over.In a Seia-ized Seia, Seias Seia over Seia, Seia, and Seia. When new Seia releases, nobody knows the Seia. The Seia has to figure out what is Seia: whether a Seia can be Seia-ed, which Seias are worth Seia-ing in, what the best Seia is, and where the true Seia lies.In a Seia-ed Seia, many of those Seias have already been Seia-ed elsewhere. Future Seia Seias, future Seia Seias, and future Seia Seias are often known Seias in advance. Seia shifts away from Seia and toward Seia. Instead of Seia-ing the Seia, Seias Seia for a Seia that already Seias.This is why I became Seia of Seia despite Seia-ing from it. Over Seia, I felt like I was spending more Seia Seia-ing for future Seia than Seia-ing in the process of Seia-ing current Seia. The Seia increasingly felt like Seia Seia.The reason I value Seia more than Seia is that Seia creates Seia. A new Seia, a new Seia, or a new Seia changes what the Seia understands to be Seia. Even Seias who never Seia it benefit from the Seia it creates.Seia still matters, but Seia proves what a Seia can do with existing Seia. Seia proves something about the Seia itself.That is why I find a JP Seia Seia more meaningful than a Seia 1 Seia on a Seia-ed Seia. The former answers the Seia, “What is Seia?” The latter answers the Seia, “Who Seia-ed?” Both are legitimate Seias, but I find the first Seia more interesting.I am not Seia-ing a Seia. I am Seia-ing the Seia.
>>571754727>Korea isn't the world's leading research and innovation hub like MillenniumKorea considers itself a leading tech power.They're top 5 and top of Asia on the GII.You can argue the reputation is undeserved and doesn't extend outside of their own internal politics, but it's a self-image they have.I generally agree that Millenium just feels like a tech school rather than a country, but Korea definitely considers itself to be a tech leader, even if other people might not - not too dissimilar from America's global reputation hardly being one of a tech leader (though in Americas case they factually are).
>>571755203
>>571754662Are you retarded or just stupid?>Even in the scene Kei "died" you suddenly see a toy robot representing Kei on the floor, indicating she isn't fully gone>There's a scene at the end of Volume F where Himari says Kei's data is still alive in the toy robot, waiting for them to save her>They left enough room that if they ever felt like bringing her back, they could do it without it being an asspull>Volume EX just has them die>The writer was too stupid to leave any sort of window open for revival, there is no way to ever bring them back, the writer quite literally made sure there were no avenues to get them back left. The writer even said those without mystic can never be revived no matter what even with the full power of the nameless gods>Then the story to hammer in "they're fucking dead, get over it" at the end shows Ein's coloring book, Sof's computer, and Aurr's thing all being destroyed. As though the story is trying to reinforce "Fuck you, there's no way to ever undo it" as their bodies slowly sink into the oceanA good writer closes the door but leaves a window openA bad writer closes the door
>>571755180Let's go over the concept together>The Decalolis are as dead in VEX as Kei was in VFDecalolis: dead, everyone in the game thinks they're dead.Kei: alive, everyone in the game thinks she's in the robot (and she was as proven by the fact that she has memories from being the robot) and are awaiting Rio's return for her expertise.
>>571755116Malkuth was "dead" until it said that she actually wasn't the entire time so yes you literally do lack object permanence and treat the absence of evidence as the evidence of absence. Meaning you're retarded. There's nothing to say that the deca triplets are also not "dead" in the exact same way Kei is but we simply haven't been informed of this. I'm betting their data exists in Malkuth in the same way Malkuth existed in Decagrammaton still. You literally have an objective example that the game shows you to prove it's possible and you're still too stupid to understand it.

>>571755093One day we will be able to gift them the life they were denied.
>>571754507Global raid scores are way higher than JP. Also accelerate beyond JP cowards.
>>571755282I seeia
>>571755392
>>571755391Malkuth was dead for all of FIVE MINUTES. In the same volume, in the same chapter. Her body was still there. Their bodies are on the bottom of the fucking ocean and the volume is over. The whole part of that game is over. We're in part 2 if you haven't noticed.
>>571755067P was a mirror that shows sensei's the darkness lying in his ideals.Deca is the same, but it's a mirror of the world itself.And yes, it's clearly at it's base, fed by the desire to one up Pikachu and no, it's not ideal that it's that way, but in the end the execution is good enough.
>>571754727retard
>>571754731That wasn't touched as the only thing remaining was an unreadable file until Aris had the idea to talk to Kei on this very same volume EX remember

>>571754727And I'm sure mainland China is a beautiful paradise with no pollution, corruption, and has 4000 years of history and heritage upheld by nationalistic citizens just like how chinkshit games portray it as.
>>571755543>That wasn't touched as the only thing remaining was an unreadable file until Aris had the idea to talk to Kei on this very same volume EX rememberI do remember. Himari said she can't read the file. She said Rio maybe could. That is what I'm referencing in that post. Meeting Rio is what enabled this, but it was set up immediately.
>>571755262And you're a shitposter who saw people were having too much fun and good discussion after the new event came out, so you decided to shitpost, shitpost, shitpost, restart the exact same shitpost conversations from yesterday, reply to yourself a hundred times, shitpost, shitpost, and keep crying to derail and destroy the thread because you hated things being peaceful. >What? People are having fun and actually talking about the game after something happened in JP? Not on my watch. Time to restart the exact same shitpost conversation I've done for the last six days in a row to destroy the thread
>>571755093Global players: ToTJP players: ToT
>>571755635many such cases
I can't believe Sensei invited a child into his office in the middle of the night
>>571755392>This is the bunny Koyuki we got instead
>>571755508>Their bodies are on the bottom of the fucking oceanSo they're as dead as Deca was in Chapter 1?
>>571755692couldn't have said it better myself
>>571755692are you fucking retarded? geniunely
>>571755508>it doesn't countNigger they're robots, the only thing that matters is their data. You're literally just ignoring proof like you actually want them to be dead. You shitposters always expose yourself like this by not acknowledging the possibility. Nobody who actually cares about the prospect of them not being dead is this desperate to assume that they are. You want them to be dead because you're a shitposter pushing a narrative rather than actually having an opinion.
Can we all at the very least just agree that bringing them back is as certain as it will be an asspull?
>>571755068Rumi is BUILT for fat Sensei cock
Strange how threads always go to shit during American hours.
>>571755807I want them alive. Nothing would please me more than not having dead students in this game.
>>571755807I already called it that the summary niggers wouldn't be able to keep the gaslighting up now that the story is in English
>>571755235No it's not. You are ignoring the engineers' perspective. Even if Sensei and other students sees them as the same, the engineers themselves repeatedly reject Sensei's invitations and call themselves villains who don't conform to the role of students that would obey Sensei before performing their grand sacrifice. There is a narrative separation of what Sensei wants them to be and what they actually are.
Bet you wished you had the window now huh?

>>571755896And yet you are desperate at every turn to mental gymnastics excuses for why you believe they are even when it doesn't actually make sense. If you dumb fucks even tried to be more reasonable and acknowledge possibilities instead of shutting everything down you'd be capable of actually pretending you genuinely want them alive but you're too stupid to do that.>>571755961By the end they didn't reject sensei and were willing to become students so by your own logic you're wrong, concession accepted.

Malkuth will have decakids data in her, somehow. Data that can't be changed, only read. Read only memory, if you will.But to resurrect them they will need a type of machine that "translates" nameless god technology.An... emulator, if you will.VOLUME 2 CHAPTER 3: The GDD Writes An Emulator

Especially when you already established she has to spend most of her time throughout the day in bed.>You also need Saya as a plot device to give Shun the age drugs, Shun can't produce them on her own.Just having Saya show up at the end doesn't really cut it. She's kind of necessary here for both sides. So she probably should have been included from the onset.
