Well, this was garbage. The sheer arrogance of Aris saying "I do not need it" to the deus ex machina god power she gets conveniently offered by some random fucking voice to save everyone, and for it to work out anyway because there is no need to sacrifice anything, it's just a free one time powerup. I guess after the deca lolis died, sensei's reality warping "muh miracles and happy endings" power turned back on again. At this moment, her friends are literally fucking dead, and she fucking waffles on about about fun and fulfillment. The tone is just so fucking off.Also >muh omnipotent power, you would be able to do anything!>except revive the deca lolis, which should actually be way easier than restoring mystics, because... uhhh don't think about itAnd of course Decagrammaton was apparently nice enough to not kill sensei this time as well, since he wouldn't able to be revived. Truly the nicest antagonist I've ever seen.And to top it all off, Kei got her design downgraded as well.In the end, Decagrammaton, who from a mere vending machine became a god, is more admirable to me than Aris/Kei who were born and designed with immense power and always go "I dun want it!" while repeatedly using it anyway, and who for some reason have the "hero" narrative as well, like they're an underdog. Aris keeps talking about how the hero isn't the strongest and blah blah blah but, uh, she literally is the strongest, so it just seems incredibly fake. And then, to really hammer home that the story is garbage, the prophets start sucking sensei cock as well. >anger and grudges are inconsequential to us>except we are angry and bear a grudge against deca for the lolisSo it is only inconsequential when it would apply to sensei, I see. I guess killing them and cannibalizing their cores is all water under the bridge.All in all, it was just disappointing. I was bored, and felt 0 emotion at any of the scenes, and the story has cemented my opinion that I do not care about Aris.
>>572236835Aris' sublime, I'm guessing.

Well, this was Seia. The sheer Seia of Seia saying "I do not need it" to the Seia Seia Seia she gets conveniently offered by some random fucking Seia to save everyone, and for it to work out anyway because there is no need to sacrifice anything, it's just a free one time Seia. I guess after the Seia Seias died, Seia's Seia Seia "muh Seias and happy Seias" Seia turned back on again. At this Seia, her Seias are literally fucking dead, and she fucking waffles on about fun and fulfillment.

>>572237314It's just the usual vagueposting lorebait, we'll get playable Decagrammaton, lolis, and prophets the moment we get playable Yume, aka never. Kei/Aris were the author voices this story, and Kei hated Decagrammaton, so this is what the reader was supposed to think.
This volume sucks, keep coping though

GUH
>>572237564>and Kei hated DecagrammatonHate is a strong word, no? She treated deca like the lolis before Aris gave her friendship speech, like a robotic annoyance. Kei really wanted deca to get off the ledge before she told kei that she wanted to see her fight to the end and they had their last scuffle. That's how I read it anyway. And there are alt universes. Playable yume isnt impossible. But it would require crazy shit vs say "oh here is the decalolis and deca on a flashdrive". Also yume died pre-jesus (sensei).
>>572237982No because she ligma rate is really dogshit.Just get the necessities from the shop then sweep something else.
>>572237767Feel free to post your own interpretation instead of just replacing every second word with Seia. Surely you aren't just vagueposting because you have nothing to say, right?
>>572237737>dollarI thought Kivotos used Yen as the universal currency?In any case, the appropriate name for commie coin is soviet ruble, not dollar

>>572237607Probably a way to read it yeah
>>572237801I wanna do 106 and I wanted to use S.Nagisa + M.Reisa, but I realized I do have UE30 onShigure so I will use her + Rio. If the window to kill all the adds wasn't so short, I wouldn't have a problem with this boss, but it's so incredibly busy in comparison to Set and Cockmah.
>>572237767So why couldn't Aris bring back the decalolis with her power? The story should've stated something with that at least, especially since the whole power Aris got was a literal world changing power.
>>572238040why is kokona the thickest
>>572237751I have some bad news for you bro...Momoi and Midori still haven't gotten a 2nd alt and Kei have no alts yet.With how popular Kei is, she's certainly on top of John Nexon's priority list.
>>572238060>And there are alt universes. Playable yume isnt impossibleKill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself NOW
>>572238060>Hate is a strong word, no?It was the strongest level of language the game can get away with, so I'd say it's hate yeah. And from an out of universe perspective, the only form Deca has shown up as was as a vending machine or in a Malkuth clone body, so the chance of it becoming playable is 0. I like it, but I have no hope. I don't think we'll ever see Yume or the lolis either, but at least those still have a minimal chance.
>>572238034>>572238074You got it boss
>>572238236Something about mystic bullshit. Like sensei and gematria, they dont have "mystics" which is like god power or or some bs. Aka they are not part of the world order or some shit.
>>572236984
>>572238298>With how popular Mika is, she's certainly on top of John Nexon's priority list.And then she hasn't even appeared in a single event for 1.5 years
>>572237958Gotta have the funny hahas in Blue Archive(tm)!I really hope they've figured out after that that you don't need to have constant banter/lighthearted shit. When things are dark they should stay dark until the darkness has passed (something a ton of previous stories, and honestly even stories after volume ex, have figured out)
>>572238060>>572238318The real answer is deca revives the lolis in exchange for becoming a vending machine in the shittim chest so arona can have drinks
>>572238286Shun was a late bloomer and Kokona actually won the generic lottery

>>572238375>popular>outsold by hanako
>>572237487That's not what usecase means
>>572238540circle button on top left side of the mission select screen
>>572238342Even without the mystic, I thought the decalolies were just machines/AI compared to sensei, who is a human, like regular students that are humans, but with mystics. I really wished they expanded more on why the story couldn't allow machines to be revived with Aris's one and final deus ex power up.
>>572236984Did the prophets ever even really interact with sensei? That glaze scene was so strange. Them liking the deca lolis I can understad, but sensei has literally just been an enemy to them. They haven't even shown any of the sensei obsession Decagrammaton got debuffed with so it wouldn't just kill sensei and win immediately.And there's nothing to say about the Soft Voice thing, that was just shit. "I-it's setupt for future stuff!" Yeah, then set it up anywhere else outside of the climax of a years long story.
Pet the waka
>>572236984Aris and Kei rejected the god power up and defied their fate to instead chose to use their own power to save the day. In my opinion, it's the most satisfying end to her arc I could imagine. She's been burdened by the forgotten gods' and nameless priests' plans for her since the beginning. Becoming her own hero and rejecting them was really satisfying to me.
>>572238360Can't wait for him to get bored of writing his next game, do a half assed chapter then fuck off
>>572237664Why is everyone in Red Winter so fucking small?
>>572238318I disagree. I feel the hatreds surrounding beatrice and basement dweller in their volumes were much more visceral. Deca ended with more melancholy. But I was getting wet eyed at the vending machine graveyard so maybe I read it wrong. The ost in that scene was great.
>>572236984PIKACHUMAN WAS RIGHT.
>>572237487Remember Deca started as a line of code. She's not far from world domination
I'M GONNA LEAK MY CLUB'S ATTENDANCE RECORD

>>572236807I really wish some autist makes a blueprint for a papercraft of AMAS Kei. I really want to make a 1:1 scale cardboard so I can fuck her
>>572238342The lack of mystic bullshit should make it easier if anything. Like if they don't have souls or mystic or a halo then they're just matter, which is what Aris' ability was made for.
>>572238683Don't do this, she bites
>>572238762No.All the valentine events after that one is just a simple "Sweep ap for points to exchange for valentine scenes".
>>572238646they actually show that Aris can fix machines in the volume (abi eshuh) but they don't explain how what is essentially 3 computers can't be repaired, although they have Decagrammaton explicitly state that they were not living beings, but programmed robots
>>572238748only an arufag from the bullies club hasn't logged in since +150 days
>>572238658You beaten their ass so many times they started develop respect for youExcept gold senseis of course
>>572238646I think a strength of blue archive is that they never go into detail about the lore cause explaining too much would be gay. But really I feel like reviving the lolis and deca would be easy for the story? Like having their files saved and giving the vending machine an extension cord in the schale basement?
>>572238832Good
>>572238748Do it faggot
The reason they didn't revive the decagakis is because killing and then reviving characters is hack writing
>>572238360No i don't and i never will.Guy's already setting up a Hoshino 2 and recently a Hina 2.I'm willing to bet that he's gonna pull off yet another lame ass wańk with either of those two.
>>572238695>burdenedThe power saved all of them again and again. Sure, the Rio thing was a bit annoying, but that's it. It's like me saying my 50 inch cock is burdening me. And again, the narrative always keeps suggesting that Aris is weak or something, with her repeating that the hero is actually a weak unit that wins via the power of friendshipTM and so on. But then she just keeps winning with her vast inborn power anyway, with her friends just kind of standing around and watching.
>>572238792But sensei (you) dont have a mystic either. Does that mean you dont have a soul? Also Aris probably could have revived Fat shiroko's universe except for p sensei....
>>572238959Killing them was already hack writing.
>>572236835Mystery voice, but considering Kei knew who it was I headcannoned it as one of the possibilities Aris was turning down, one that had become omnipotent and was no longer Aris Tendou.>>572238854They also earlier show that the deccacunnies can technically bring back Tiph but they despair over even their near perfect replica being a loss because it was still not THAT Tiph.
Bye bye
>>572238360Does anyone actually miss him post V1C3?
>>572238879NTA, what I've been saying for months and been called a retard for sayingShit man, I wouldn't have minded if they had at least MENTIONED some reason. "Mystic" is a lousy one. As I've said before, even a living organism can be brought back from the dead with rapid, appropriate response
>My opinion is unique and special. It needs to be heard because this place is not an echochamber. If you don't like this you need to----
>>572238962I can't tell if I'm insane or not but none of the character designs even look that great, they're alright but there's nothing I've seen that is amazing. It just feels so bland
>>572236835Nyarlathotep obviously, why else do you think in the story part 2 in JP we have visions of a colourless world and are collecting shining trapezohedrons.
>>572238967>narrative always keeps suggesting that Aris is weak or somethingIt literally never does this. She is consistently one of the strongest students.
>>572239037Fuck off
>>572238720I agree, I think that scene was heartbreaking and the music was really good. Too bad the looping for the track itself is fucking garbage, seriously it just stops and starts again with no transition for a scene that lasts over 3 minutes.
>>572238967>It's like me saying my 50 inch cock is burdening me.Your massive 50 inch cock wouldn't erase your existence and make your friends and family forget you.
>>572238959Yumebros...
>>572239009>But sensei (you) dont have a mystic either. Does that mean you dont have a soul?Yeah. I mean, obviously sensei will end up super special anyway, but as of now, sensei should be equivalent to the deca lolis - just mere matter.>>572239115Reread the story if you have somehow missed this. Ctrl F "hero". They repeat that monologue quite often. I agree that she is shown to be by far the strongest student.
These kids' weapons are technically heavier than themselves. Think about that.
hmmyeah im thinking meg
>>572239080The easiest would be that they were not actually living and just robots programmed by deca but that would be too sad to admit and go against what the characters said earlier. Because like a chapter prior, kei was making fun of the lolis for being literal robots who couldnt think of a random number. Parts of the volume did jump all over.
Rio is so bouncy, it's amazinghttps://x.com/FukuSenseA/status/2071191980516778130?s=20
>>572239191>wouldn't erase your existence and make your friends and family forget you.That was a choice she was free to make. And it didn't matter anyway because even declining it still gave her a free trial of godhood and the ability to revive everyone.
>>572239037The only person I miss is Doremi and other than the puppet there's very little on his new game that is making me see the old Doremi spark I miss.The new writers have handled general writing of students significantly better imo, both in avoiding leaving students in a rut and pulling the ones out that were and less falling back on the same tired jokes.
>>572238959Did you also hate it when they brought Kei back to life?
>>572236984Trvke
>>572239092It's because he's rehashing our studentsYou have >Discount Hifumi>Discount Maki>Discount Hina>Discount Wakamo>Discount Kaya+GSC PresidentThe gameplay must be really FUN if they expect people to jump ship.
>>572238879Reviving them from the backups would undermine Volume EX stakes, I think it would be more appropriately to see Malkuth develop bonds with other prophets and discover another way to give Deca and cunnies a new life instead of just reviving them with their memories intact
>>572239303mortar-chan my beloved
>>572239402>The gameplay must be really FUN
Took a nap and 3 new threads spawnedWhat restored the hype?
>>572239108I feel like it should be one of the outer gods, indeed, but Nyarly is usually merely a messenger. I feel like Kei should be Nyarly and Aris is probably straight up Azathoth. Would also line up with the infinite possibilities.
>>572239092Maybe it's trying a bit too hard to ram itself into the Showa era Japan aesthetic. That and maybe there's not enough time to process/refine them. This thing is coming out this year and the Project KV debacle wasn't that long ago (1.5-ish years). So something had to give in the interest of project timelines.
>>572238959The plothole becomes weird when there's Kei. But I think that's why they emphasized tiphareth's revival of losing memories = death. Reviving their bodies is no different than zombies.
>>572239091>PG13 language in an 17/18+ rated game
>>572238879>I think a strength of blue archive is that they never go into detail about the lore cause explaining too much would be gay.Maybe in the past. But the actual lore keeps becoming more and more relevant for the story, peaking with Decagrammaton. At that point being vague and not explaining anything turns into a weakness. You can get away with it in a SoL story, but not when the actual plot is the meat. Literally pic related.

>>572239548It's NC Soft. Some measure of greed and disappointment should be the default position.
>>572239418Volume EX Chapter 3 starts with a ritual to create a god and ends with a ritual of rebirth for the mortal. The stakes are irrelevant the vessels will be repaired. Btw, remember when Ohr said the Windows EXP meadow is her consciousness black box? Where do you think the other two kept theirs?
am I crazy if I don't consider Kisaki a loli?she just looks like a petite 16 year old, I don't think that counts
>>572239628He already did in the prologue technically
What if NiyaNiya Kyouju becomes a sensei?
what are those
>>572239523nta, cheers, yesbig yes for saying this especially when the story has relied on miracles multiple times in the past. You really, seriously, seriously need to fucking explain why something can't work.Something I've brought up before is how "death" of students took multiple volumes and many hours of reading to sufficiently build up. The robot lolis though? Genuinely, we know nothing about their composition, why they can die, why they can't be backed up, why anything, it's a mess
>>572239341>still gave her a free trial of godhoodI don't agree. I read it as her finally properly unlocking her own powers and tapping into the power of the Steel Continent. Something we know she has been able to do since much earlier in the story that has been brought up at numerous times.
So the gist of all the criticism right now boils down to "I don't like how this is cooked, I could have cooked it better."
Am i weird if the thing that hit me hardest in this ending was the prophets' messgr to Sensei?

>>572239808...isn't that the gist of any and all criticism?
>>572239735>she just looks like a petite 16 year oldYou're probably just from SEA.
>>572239115Volume ex has a lot of sections about the whole "hero" Aris is and how what makes a hero is isn't how strong they are, but how they are able to bring people together.
>>572239418>I think it would be more appropriately to see Malkuth develop bonds with other prophets and discover another way to give Deca and cunnies a new life instead of just reviving them with their memories intactI agree with this but don't believe that the "starting point" has been handled well because there are so many bluntly unanswered questions that are not even difficult to think up, but the characters conveniently forgot all of them
What are we blogging about today on this fine morning?
>>572239903Wakamo wouldnt...
>>572239918what the fuck's that supposed to mean pal
>>572239628No, sensei actively refuses all power and would like to instead gamble with his students' lives by just hoping that his plot armor is enough.
>>572239578high schoolers all over the world swear a lot
>>572239979We real /bag/gots think volume ex SUCKS
Guy who needs steak to enjoy a story
>>572240006Maybe he learned a fucking lesson this time.
>>572239451Wouldn't Azathoth likely be the student council president? Kivotos is her dream and when she wakes up the fake reality that is Kivotos stops existing.
I liked it
YUUKA, PLEASE! HAVE MERCY!I WILL BE A GOOD BOY NOW!AIEEEEEEEEEE!
>>572239628What is the Staff of Shaqed again?
>>572239801>I don't agree. I read it as her finally properly unlocking her own powersYes, which is godhood. They explicitly referred to it as such. You can disagree, but then you're disagreeing with the story. Another question is why she didn't just insta defeat Deca like Deca did before and why the prophets were even needed, but it's all deliberately vague anyway.
>>572239903I would easily defeat them all with no student help
>>572240035>they're not REALISTIC girlsfucking God in heaven this is the Blue Archive generalshould Kei also have unprotected sex with retards? who aren't sensei
I think its neat that Deca is just Arisu that went down the route of destruction instead of bideo games
>>572239628I think mentioning the Staff means devs are considering it given how the plot keeps pushing sensei to spots where it's obvious he can't do shit. But of course we know it won't happen and he'll just say "NO" like Aris did in this volume
>>572240126The watch
If you could only rub sunscreen on one of them, who would you choose?
>>572240058Does it? I just skip all the story and homotalks, just give me my jims.
I think volume EX is lovely actually and all of you are uneducated philistines that cannot appreciate subtlety and foreshadowing.
>>572240142Because Aris is a retarded gamer who wanted a retarded gamer ending
>>572240075Why would he learn anything? The plot armor worked once again and they won. Sure, the deca lolis died, but beyond some performative anger they didn't seem to care all that much anyway.
So what is this train stop scene in the ending supposed to represent? I remember reading something about it when the conclusion came out on JP.
Student for this feel?
>story discussion continues despite seiafags attempt to stop itYou love to see it
>>572240142>Another question is why she didn't just insta defeat DecaBecause she didn't become a god. She tapped into the same power Deca did. And of course the meta that a plot like that wouldn't be interesting.
sexy seia
>>572239478It's only 2/3 days of memory and their personalities are innate. Reviving them would mean they'd be the same characters (just like what happened with Tiphareth--same personality, different memories due to reset) but they would have far longer than 3 days of memories to make
Doing adult things with a kid, in front of kids.
>>572240327>dwibblingwhy are they playing basketball
>>572240327
>>572240271The foreshadowing is that if EX is this ass it'll only get worse in the future.>>572240370Please open the text of the story again and reread what the Soft Voice and Aris are saying. She did have the power of a god in that moment, but because she rejected her destiny it was only temporary.
>>572240079The nameless priests and the chroma are outside influences to Kivotos, even if they follow the same basic rulesets. Prez should be one of the normal high power deities.My money is on Lucifer.
>>572240171what's wrong with cute girls saying bad words?
>>572240323>A safety siding is a safety device installed at passing sections in single-track intervals to prevent the worst-case scenario of a head-on collision with an oncoming train when a train passes its stopping position.>It is normally installed on the side opposite to the oncoming track, but in this scene, it is installed facing toward the track in the background. In terms of meaning, by cutting their future short, the Deca lolis protected Sensei and Malkuth (two trains) from colliding with each other (worst case scenario) so that both can continue their journey safely
>>572236654WHAT the fuck is wrong Millennium???? They brought back the decabrats' corpses without Malkuth knowing a lick about it? Just what is wrong with them?
>>572240323I took it as a simple divergence leads to a dead/bad end but different decisions allow you to continue. It's hard for me to explain exactly for some reason but it's something like that for me
>>572239735You're not crazy, but she is the size and shape of an elementary schooler
>>572240323One line end (decacunies)One line must continue (Malkcute)
>>572240498bigrona SEX
>>572239478No they would be the same people with the same personality and so on. That's what the programming vs DNA discussion was about. Normal humans aren't all that different compared to robots. It's just that the girls in kivotos have mystics which complicates matters. But if Aris revived the deca lolis, which should be easy with her mater reconfiguration power, all they would maybe lose are a few recent memories, but as a god nothing should stop aris from getting a snapshot of their memories moments from before their death.
>>572239735She's shorter than average petite women than her age. It's just her poise that makes her feel like she's not.
>>572240498If you had a baby with Bigrona, would the child be Arona or Plana?
>>572240058>
>>572240245Kisaki. It leads to sex.Kokona would be awkward and Shun would stick to her RP
>>572240534Yeah, I keep reading that, but those generally don't destroy the trains in them, do they. You simply wait a while.
My takeaway from EX is that the nu-writers can write SoL no-stakes shit just fine, but they collapse when attempting to write an actual plot.
Did i fuck up, or battle with big D and the chapters leading to it were out of order?
>>572240807It destroys the journey...
>>572239903Leave them to me.
>>572240540they didn't. The bodies are never addressed, so barring an unknown force or the priests taking them, presumably the bodies sunk into the water which frankly seems a lot worse than taking them
>>572240323maybe about malk finally getting a choice for herself, without any of deca's bullshittery or sort of rhyme or reason
>>572240850retard
I'm confused, both the final showdown and the ending were great.Why were so many people shitting on it before it aired here?
Checked r*ddit to see what some mainstream reactions to this volume were but it's still just the usual image spam with straight up 0 discussion. Grim.
>>572240245Shunny
>>572241046> Checking redditDamn nigga why do you hate yourself?
>>572236984>gets filtered>is a complete and utter retardEvery time
>>572241120I have no desire to make a twitter or tiktok account so it's the only source for mainstream internet reactions that I have.
>>572241091Prostate?! But Aoi already takes care of that!
>>572241046the fact that the BA reddit is mostly art posting with no discussion means that it's leagues above most game subreddits because it means redditors don't share their shit opinions
>>572241235You sure showed him, it looks like you know what you're talking about
>>572238360I never liked his writing, so no. Good riddance.
>>572241235>>572238085
So how tall is Malkuth?
>>572241262reddit isnt a place for mainstream opinions either
>>572240850You do know Vol EX was planned in advance before the traitors, left right?If you want to judge the NU writers, you should start with Part 2.
Had a really cute dream about Kayoko last night.PS68 summer when
Why does this guy continue playing BA when he's been shitting on every major story update?>it's multiple different people you idiotWhy do ANY of you continue playing BA when you've been shitting on every major story update?Is it just a case of this thing leftists do where they can't converse like normal people and have to do this performative confrontational act to force discussion?
>>572240850>but they collapse when attempting to write an actual plot.The Kaya one was good but it was mostly because it's in isolation. I think the insane length of EX and sci-fi jargon + now filling some plotholes from other volumes confused the writers how to wrap things up.
Doing lewd things with Nagisa
>>572239826For me, it was when their paths changed into "together" though its impact was lessened in english because that word came in the end whereas in orher languages it was the first word for every skill
They will drop the deccacunnies in 2032 when we enter our own zombie "Part 3"...
>>572241454Maybe the beginning and some middle parts, which makes sense, because those were pretty good. But that's probably a consequence of them not having to do any plotting yet in those parts.
>>572241235What was wrong with that post? This volume clearly has it's faults, which that post explained.
>>572240534>In terms of meaning, by cutting their future short, the Deca lolis protected Sensei and Malkuth (two trains) from colliding with each other (worst case scenario) so that both can continue their journey safelyWhat if it's Deca cutting his godhood short so it's the Trio and Malkuth that can continue on?
>>572240245Why is Kokona the only one not looking back?
>>5722414302 meters tall, 2.2 with heels AND she's flat.She's perfect
>>572241430Might be as tall or even taller than Tsukuyo
Did you guys hear? A UFO was spotted over Millennium School! It proves aliens are real!
>>572239203Arisu does not want to be special. That is very different from the narrative portraying her as as nothing special.
Will they give Malcute a smaller hat when she becomes playable?

So... they never really adressed what Binah was and how is possible it has been running around long before Deca was a thing, isn't it?
>>572241583the triplets aren't coming back brothere's no mystics miracle for those halolets at this point
>>572240484>Please open the text of the story again and reread what the Soft Voice and Aris are saying.I did. I read pic related as her rejecting using the power given to her to ascend to god-hood. Instead she uses it to help her friends. I read the power as being the path to god-hood not the power of what she would have attained if she followed that through.
>>572241327>>572241409>>572241571I've been on /bag/ long enough to know you don't argue with retards because the thing about retards is that they're stupid, very stupid. So stupid in fact that you could literally objectively point out where they're wrong and they will still not be capable of getting it. As summary tard proves.
>>572241430likely taller than misuzu (at least over 180cm)though the latter has a lot of discrepancy, but she is relatively tall for the most part
>>572236984They hate him because he told them the truth.
>>572241920Way too big.
>>572236984I liked how the voice waited until everything happened to finally offer Aris the free win card which she could use at any time. So much struggle.
>>572241496It's not ever major story update.I didn't post that first post of negativity in this thread but have posted other opinions.I also largely like volume ex, just have criticisms.I really like the new stories after volume ex.>>572241876Sure man

>>572241706Again, my point is that the narrative does portray her as special and the strongest, but simultaneously wants to have its cake and eat it too by ALSO trying to portray her as this oh so weak hero having and wanting to rely on her friends, when the rest of her club and the other millenium girls just stand around doing nothing while she solos everything. The hero monologues aren't portrayed like Aris is lacking self-worth, but as objective fact straight from the author's mouth.>>572241864Yeah, she rejects turning into a god permanently, but then it turns out that right here and now, she can turn into one temporarily and use her power to revive everyone and defeat deca. It's the same power, but in one path she gains it permanently and transcends everything, and in the other she uses up a temporary reservoir of power and loses the potential for it.>>572242007Yeah, this would've been useful to know before the deca lolis died.
>>572241851No mystics needed, it's simply the way of the world.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TzimtzumSkip to the Lurianic interpretation for the TL;DR of what just transpired. I didn't realize the video of Natzach falling apart will be so incredibly on the nose. It straight up has the sparks of light falling on the vessels.

>>572239731>EinMaybe in one of those small spider robots?>SophI bet that Tiph has sent a back up copy somewhere
>>572241876NTA, but in terms of the story, why wouldn't Aris be able to revive Ein, Soph and Ohr with the godhood power she got? The powerup was basically a deus ex powerup, which could allow that, especially since the voice stated that.
>try to get horny for malkuth and go on booru>the past month of uploads is nothing but wholesome or sad artDon't do me like this...
>>572241496Why not? The volumes got ups and downs. I liked SRT Kaya Arc but I hated Hyakkiyako early chapters, but I liked the next chapters afterwards again. One can complain on one part and praise the other parts no? The stories ain't perfect bro
>>572236984Retard bro, it's the same voice that we learned made Deca sentient back in the chapter where the vending machine drowns itself and it's obviously an outer god. The vending machine at the end of the chapter even mentions the first voice to remind you.
>>572240524Nothin'
>>572241770By me
>>572241430looking at thismaybe around 170ish (including her heels)
>caught up reading all eventsNow the decision to either wait for events or just youtube them.
>>572242280Bingo. The last three shots before we leave the continent are Ohr's XP, Ein's coloring book next to the robots she plays house with and Tiph's seed sprouting. Exactly where you'd expect important stuff to be kept.
How old is she?
Kazusa calls Reisa a tosser while (you) aren't around
>>572242341>it's the same voice that we learned made Deca sentient back in the chapter where the vending machine drowns itself and it's obviously an outer godheadcanon btwthis is not confirmed, but feel free to prove it objectivelyIt doesn't grant Aris any power btw, it explains that the place is what grants power

>>572241496>this guyI'm assuming you refer to me and aren't replying to my post because you're afraid of me or something due to a lack of testosterone and/or balls.It's because SoL shit and students doing cute stuff is 90% of the game, which is all good. It's just that the authors are incapable of writing a serious story well. I can like one part of the game and dislike other parts. But maybe you haven't learned those concepts in school yet.>>572242341>obviouslyCould just as easily be a nameless priest or literally everything else. As usual, it's deliberately vague. And I don't actually think it was the voice that awakened Deca because it seemed to dislike Deca. But who knows.
I might be blind but did they even try to recover the decacunnies' "corpses" or were they supposed to crumble apart with the Steel Continent?I interpreted Malkuth's departure as her going to look for them by herself
>>572242191>Yeah, she rejects turning into a god permanently, but then it turns out that right here and now, she can turn into one temporarily and use her power to revive everyone and defeat deca. It's the same power, but in one path she gains it permanently and transcends everything, and in the other she uses up a temporary reservoir of power and loses the potential for it.We will have to agree to disagree, I think. We clearly read the same thing but interpret it differently.

>>572242582No they forgot about them completely after they died. Didn't even check their corpses either to see if they could still be saved.

>>572241496What's wrong with having criticism on this volume? Overall I enjoyed it greatly, but there are some story points in this volume that could've definitely been addressed better. There's nothing wrong with having criticisms about the story, but I do know that they are bad faith posters that will shit on it regardless if the story is good or not. That one negative post did have some valid criticisms about volume EX.

How can anyone look at reddit, Twitter, or discord discussions for blue archive without being sick? This is literally the only place I can talk to other people online about this game in english. Otherwise I see some faggots taking things too seriously or not being able to self insert as sensei.
>huh you called out my shitposts as shitposting that means you just can't take criticism and think the story is perfectYou tourists expose yourself every single time by doing this. Go back to your dead general.
>>572242191Arisu wants to be a normal girl who makes games with her friend. The role given to her is that of a powerful murder weapon. The tension between these things is the conflict in Arisu's character arc. >The hero monologues aren't portrayed like Aris is lacking self-worth, but as objective fact straight from the author's mouth.They are Arisu's own understanding of the role she has chosen. It's how she wants to live her life. >and the other millenium girls just stand around doing nothing while she solos everything.That's completely wrong. Everyone works together to defeat Deca, and Kei is the one who defeats Decagrammaton, so in the end she does rely on her friends, like she wanted to.
>>572243043ngl, I don't like this. Not art itself, I just think suits look like shit on women
>>572243218Except if you criticize volume 1, 2, 4, 5, 6. They would never jump at you like this for that.
>>572243160Except for Ohr calling her computer her black box and it being operational at the end credits. But other that, zilch really.
>>572242810The voice clearly states that the power is omnipotent though. It's just Aris declines that she will only use it this time once instead of turning into god itself since that will erase who she is currently, along with everyone's memory of her.>>572242731If they don't have a halo, they clearly are just machines, which was shown in this volume that both Aris and Kei could create with their powers, like it was shown through how Aris got her Ebi machine.
>>572238748
>>572243071>Shittim chest magicIt's called shit because it can't do shit other than give you blue envelopes
>>572243164It was a pretty weird scene. The gakis die and then they just move on without a single comment as to what happened to their bodies. My rationale when reading that scene was that they were in quite a bit of danger and had no way of reliably transporting them.
>>572242296It's literally addressed in the story, what?
>>572243309I thought so too, but then Helltaker converted me
>>572242484Now it's only a matter of time before we go on expedition quest to the submerged continent on Odyssey submarine
>>572243196Drama.There was a mass exodus of staff and a huge drama about them leaving because many of them were original team. In the wake of this, Nexon had many attempts at hiring. That means new people etc. They had to rebuild and were severely hobbled. Also yes, I know that one of the original writers wrote volume ex.Anyways, they wanted to make sure that it was "big" so they forced it to become big basically. They wanted to show that they did not need the people who left to make something comparable to volume F
>>572243242so you just made it up to give yourself a reason to get mad
>>572243020Oh, congratulations, you overcame your fear and quoted me directly. I'm so proud of you. And don't worry, you didn't summarize jackshit, you just vaguely criticized people because talking about things in concrete terms is scary.>>572243071Good question that the story and characters with completely ignore. >>572243126>>572243137Sensei and the chest having vaguely explaine and defined powers that could be used at any time has been a point in the story a few times now. At the very least it could do /something/ to fuck with the current texture. May require the tower and some prep time or maybe not. >>572243306That's completely wrong. Everyone works together to defeat Deca, and Kei is the one who defeats Decagrammaton, so in the end she does rely on her friends, like she wanted to.Kei and Aris are equivalent in my mind. The game club is completely useless, and the other girls do maybe 5%, while Aris/Kei do 95%.>Arisu wants to be a normal girl who makes games with her friend.No, she does want to be a hero. Except apparently one that is not /too/ strong or something. Except when strength would be convenient she totally has it and uses it. Her narrative is just a mess.
>>572243447Sensei would sacrifice himself to save their body so it felt out of character? I guess he got transported really quickly to Deca?
>>572243406You're just gonna Ship of Theseus them and create just clones that would have no memories or what happened or any idea of the growth they had as a person.>but why would they have no memoriesNo halo, NEXT
>>572243453There's an excuse given in the story, but saying that repairing actual robots and reviving sensei is on the same level was ridiculous.
>>572243575>>572243298
you can't post that
>>572243298Do you want me to greentext "criticism is shitposting"?

>>572243609
>criticism
>>572237259Kei is one of the few people that most likely knows the truth of the world, but she's fine living out the lie with everyone else.
>>572243447>My rationale when reading that scene was that they were in quite a bit of danger and had no way of reliably transporting them.Wasn't that the moment where Decagrammaton has mysteriously walked away while sensei was lying half-dead on the ground to conveniently give the deca lolis a way to turn things around? There was no real danger at the time. I /think/ the intention was that sensei was so rattled about their death he wanted to distance himself from it, but it just makes him look like he doesn't really care.

>>572243824How can you have good mood when Sensei is ultra depressed on the way back? You are not supposed to be in good mood after reading it, even if you liked it.
>>572243824>some no life's hot takesthe irony of this post though
>>572243675Yeah, it's weird, right. Almost as if they're not just robots but actually conscious living beings with free will, to the point where they can act as witnesses for the birth of a god even. Like some sort of prophets or something.
>>572243675>Story: here's what Aris can do with this power>You: that's an excuse???
>>572243218nikkechads criticize the story of their game all the timewhy do the BAtrannies here have a problem with people criticizing BA's story?
The people complaining about the actual story discussion are those guys sitting in this thread 24/7 ritualposting and image spamming btw. 0 value to this thread or the world or anyone and anything else.
>>572243596>>572243850I'm a bit fuzzy on the details on account of bwehing my eyes out that entire scene. I'd have to go back and check.
>>572237703>I personally cope by reminding myself BA is a "one and done" type game for the most part.No story is over, the writers always set up future stories unless they're retarded>Original GDD story saved Alice, but Key was left unsaved>New GDD story saved Key, but now deca girls are left unsavedYou always leave a plot hook for laterYou never want to solve 'everything"
>>572243662Not having a soul means their memories are effectively just like data on a hard drive. There is no actual logic to matter reconstruction not being able to bring them back exactly in the state before they died.This is why a power like that is terrible to ever bring up in any fictional work like this. You invite too many stupid problems.
>>572243662no halos doesn't mean they lose who they are. Quite the opposite as it was explicitly explained (twice) that their personalities were programmed. This means that even if they lost their memories, they would still be the same people.And reminder: no the story never says that "they are no longer themselves". Sof argues that Tiph is gone and that's true because Tiph was like hundreds of years old. All of that was lost and new Tiph has forgotten all of it.The Decalolis would, presumably, lose about 3 days of memory because they seem to have been made and gotten to work extremely recently. All their personality is innate, and while they would lose their character development I think it would be a bit crazy to think they couldn't become better people again when they are no longer compelled by a megalomaniacal god into a ritualistic death system.
>>572243242All this confounded new technology. Back in my day we had television screens with levers we had to crank to turn on
>>572243963They are not prophets thoughever.
>>572243994Yakumo I'm watching your stall why are you trying not to laugh
I liked the story. There were some off beats here and there but nothing to ruin the whole experience.
>>572244071Pretty sure Deca V2 showed up almost instantly in his shiny new Malkuth suit.
I liked volume EX. I think it was good.

have sex
So Kei literally through her own imagination turned herself into a real girl with a functional vagina and nippleswhy do the fucking JPretards here still think she's a robot that needs to put on makeup all day?do these niggers not read the story when JP had their anni?
>>572244169This is the most common opinion I would think. It ain't perfect but it did its job.
My hot takes that ignore retorts? High effort criticismYour retorts and criticisms of my criticism? Childish hugboxing
>>572244181The decalolis were still alive up till body #2 left to the altar. They even had an entire speech for the team.
>>572243609Senseis, is this how vaginas actually work?
all of you shut the fuck up for a secondohr sex
>>572243160There was a butterfly I guess which is often used to symbolize soul but then again, they were supposedly robots.
>>572244114They are. Deca's prophets aren't actually prophets, that's the reason she tried to get sensei to join her, even though she didn't really need to from a victory standpoint. The kids were backups and were probably lacking mystics for that very purpose.
im too stupid to understand the story deeply but vol EX was kino
>>572244280That was about the scene when she first put on the uniform and she had normal skin, retard. Way before the end.
>every single person in the reddit thread loves the story and many think it was better than volume FAs expected, this thread is just reddit.
>>572243662How will it be a Ship of Theseus scenario though? The godhood power is a perfect power as stated by the voice. So Aris isn't replacing the original decalolis, she is reviving them back with their intact memories and their whole original self before they died.
>>572244353>shut up, or sexYOU'RE GONNA RAPE US?!
>>572244425>reddit>thinkbait used to be believable
hot cakes?
>>572244450don't think too hard about iti think even the writers forgot
Notice how desperately these shitposters are now trying to discredit anyone liking the story. Be more subtle if you want to shitpost.
>>572244404You can't just call everything kino
>FUCK YOU SENSEI
>>572244353Based.
>no miracle can ever happen for a mysticless being which is exactly why Arona saves Sensei at the end of Vol F
Notice how desperately these shitposters are now trying to discredit anyone not liking the story. Be more subtle if you want to shitpost.
>>572244425>better than Vol Flet's not get ahead of ourselves
>>572244404Arisu decides to use all of her Nen at once at the cost of losing it forever
>>572244280Nobody has ever said that, including the apparently often maligned "summaryfag" (me) who argued at the time that makeup made no sense, and pointed out that she and Aris are biological nowOne person argued with me that Aris wasn't and the voice didn't say that, even after I posted the voice saying Aris would grow.
>>572243609>>572243887Which doujin is this? Saucenao ascii2d isn't showing anything?
Those end credits crushed me bros
>>572244280JPnigs skip every part of the story because they cant read nip but want to catch up with JP so they can be the coolest kids hereAll the avatarfaggots JPnigs here from Seiajeet to the Midoritranny all of them have no fucking idea what the hell is going on with the story and pull fanfic shit out of their asses when asked about the story.
>>572244538>dumkopfis she german
>>572243575>Kei and Aris are equivalent in my mind. Well we are talking about the story that exists in the real world, not your own misconceptions. They are different characters obviously. Also it's objectively false that the other characters were useless. Rio brought Kei back, Himari hacked into Deca, Toki and Eimi were essential in fighting the profits, Yuzu piloted the mech, even the twins helped out a bit. You are just flat out denying the majority of the events of the story because they disagree with your point. >No, she does want to be a hero. Except apparently one that is not /too/ strong or something.She explains it to you in her own words:Being a hero doesn't mean you are special or unique It's a job where you gather your courage together with your friends and go on a journey beyond the horizonThis is what being a yuusha means to Arisu. It has nothing to do with being powerful or fighting. It's about overcoming challenges with her friends. Arisu learned to understand the real word in terms of video game concepts, and this is how she reconciles them.
>>572244543Fuck sensei. We'll get him next time.
>>572244676You watched them wrong.
>you can't like the story AND criticize its flaws>you MUST strictly choose one of the two extremesI doubt you even have enough free will to form opinions of your own
>>572243054yop, gotta copy a timeline, no way around it. Did Set and Chokmah 124 but Tiphy was too annoying for me.
>>572239628didn't sensei technically own sanctum tower but gave it away to GSC because he himself had no need for it, nor the ability to fully utilise iti've completely forgotten about staff of shaqed or what it is
Kei should have a stance switch between AMAS and Student
>>572244340Kei would never use her vagina tentacles like that. The doujin is not canon.
I'm glad I stopped coming here.
sensei should visit student's rooms more often
>>572244082NTA, but yeah I can understand this. I just hope they save the Decalolis and even maybe Deca eventually.
>>572244389They are a tool through which Decagrammaton is revived. They would shut down eventually even if Deca won, because the ritual drained them or some shit. They say that themselves. Sensei talks about it with Deca.
>>572244618>Aris would grownyo... she's perfect the way she is...
Someone give Kaede an skin
>>572244531Yeah bro I'm sure the writers just forgot one of the most important details in the entire story
>>572244820but you're here STOOPID
>>572244590Shhhhhh stop, no miracles allowed. I command you to cry at the brats literally repeating what PSensei said...so moving...
>YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT MY SHITPOSTING AND SAY THE STORY IS THE WORST THING EVER YOU JUST HAVE TO OKNo. Vol EX was kino.
The whole point of vol EX was to establish the fact that mysticlets don't deserve the happy end. Writers are preparing us for the inevitable salaryman ending, where Sensei sacrifices himself to save Kivotos and is sent back to Earth
>>572244902Kei would say this
>>572244792>nor the abilityHe has the ability with how he's literally the only one and has the access to the Shittim Chest.
>>572244092Ye I get that, I argue it's more than just data on a hard drive. You can dumb human brains down to just being neurons firing for memories but if they revived Yume out of no where no one would be saying it's the same person>>572244098>no halos doesn't mean they lose who they are>lose about 3 days of memory because they seem to have been made and gotten to work extremely recentlyOh yeah, they'd be the same person but they'd just lose memories of the most important and pivotal part of their life that would have defined them as a person from that point onwards, nothing too big of a deal!Are you fucking a fucking ape or just some alien pretending to be human? Our experiences are what makes us who and what we are.>>572244450>she is reviving them back with their intact memories and their whole original self before they diedYour whole premise is based on her being able to do this and mine is based on her not being able to do this, there's no argument of me to make here really.
coom in doomrope in hope
This is what happens when you put deathslop in your wish fullment game
time to read the rest of Kei & Aris momos. Aris is a literal angel and Kei had a great arc.
>>572244792You haven't forgotten. Or rather you're yet to remember.

>>572236984New Writers can't write, new at 11. I don't expect them to fill pikaman's shoes at all. I'm more interested when someone said the anime darkest dungeon knock off writer is the one writing now.
Volume EX was peeno
How do the priests feel about their princess ditching them for sensei cock
>>572244738>They are different characters obviously.No they are equivalent. They always act together, and Kei still defers to Aris even though she is her own being now. I did not deny that other students also did stuff, that was in the 5% contribution I mentioned. But it was all relatively minor.>Being a hero doesn't mean you are special or unique Yeah and this is straight up wrong. Aris is the most special and most unique and strongest being so far. Courage did not matter at all, what mattered were deus ex machins and immense amounts of power gained via birthright.
can I get by without nyFuuka?
>>572245060Did you not see how pissed they were at the end?
>>572244960based
>>572244590>>572244869The miracle worked for Sensei because he was still alive. In fact all of the miracles that have happened in this game were to change course for an ongoing event rather than full-on reverting something that had already happened. Yes this includes Terror Hoshino.
>>572245079Yeah
Sensei will get fucked one day. ONE DAY
>>572245079nah
>>572245079mmmmaybe
>>572244902
>>572245145I mean, P-Sensei got fucked already, so I guess they fucked with other timelines quite a bit.
>>572245079No.
>>572244909>where Sensei sacrifices himself to save KivotosI would prefer a happy ending, but I could accept this.>and is sent back to EarthPlease no. Anything but this.
>>572245060they literally called her used goods and started to slag the nameless gods kektheir next plan is going to focus on taking revenge against sensei
>>572244902Reddit would say this.
>game literally tells you hope will always blossom so long as you keep living>anons don't have hope
>>572245145I'll never let them have me!
>>572245079loli guess its technically possible with ui/seia, but you'd better roll just in case
Nun alts when?Who should get them?
>>572244835That's their job as Ein, Ohr and Sof, yes, and they would shutdown precisely BECAUSE Deca won.The problem is rather than making giving them mystics he left them human, because he'd otherwise have no prophet to reveal himself to in the light.Which eventually led to them just saying fuck it and denying him.
>>572245119Observing respectfully (from the ground).
I'm having deja vu
>>572244935>the most important and pivotal part of their life that would have defined them as a person from that point onwards, nothing too big of a deal!>>Are you fucking a fucking ape or just some alien pretending to be human? Our experiences are what makes us who and what we are.Why do you get like this and expect people to answer you seriously?Why are you ignoring the logic of the story? Dude, I DID NOT COME UP WITH IT. Sorry to say, but eh story LITERALLY says 1) all of their personality was invented and 2) that's completely valid, and no matter what they're still "real"Ergo even without these crucial "literally a few days", they would still be the same. You are the only person who keeps arguing they would be different, consistently ignoring that their personalities are programmed. NOT MY HEADCANONSTATEDMULTIPLE TIMES
>comparing BA with NIGKEYou remind me of the idiot asking if Furina's arc was better than LB6
You think this is funny? You think this is a fucking game? You think this is a joke? Once again you mess up our experiments, and brainwash our weapons into dumb school girls? you and your fucking meme tablet. God fucking dammit, you won't get away with this for long. You WILL pay, "Sensei" no miracle will save you.
>>572238360The mind broken masses of /bag/ who have been here may hate you but I am unbiased. Your writing was great but it's a pity your ego crushed your place here. Now you're shitty out a crappy anime harry potter knock off instead of writing more kino for a more interesting setting like Blue Archive. Your look for greener pastures was a mistake.
>>572245259very telling really
>>572245259well it sure didn't work for hoshino(unlike the sisters, yume will actually never come back)
>>572245293you've been in this place before?
Criticism for the story is actually a good thing because it shows that the work created enough interest for people to analyze, question, and discuss it. A story does not have to be perfect to have value while criticism helps reveal what works, what does not and how different audiences experience the writing. It allows authors to notice weaknesses they may have missed and improve their craft while also giving readers a deeper understanding of the ideas and choices behind the story, not every criticism is automatically correct, since art depends on interpretation and personal taste, but even disagreement can create meaningful discussion. A story that receives criticism is often a story that made people think, and that conversation is part of what keeps Nexon creativity growing without repeating cycles from past volumes.
trust him
>>572245076If your whole argument is "Kei and Arisu are the same character" then you are just stupid and there is no point in talking to you, sorry.
i like the bootleg niyaniya plush she looks so fucking stupid
>>572245259I know, man they weren't suppose to take doomfox litterally!!
>>572244356>There was a butterfly I guess which is often used to symbolize soulReminds me of Summer Pockets
>>572245374
>>572245412She would say homu
>>572244935>Your whole premise is based on her being able to do this and mine is based on her not being able to do this, there's no argument of me to make here really.Yeah I can agree on that. I just wished the writers gave more clarity on the story's lore during these more serious volumes. Overall I enjoyed this volume and I hope we eventually do get to bring back the Decalolis, since it's a bit too sad to see them gone.
the megulomaniac
>>572245359Uh-huh
>>572245335> The Kivotos texture is erased> Gods go back to just fucking kill each otherI will pick the schoolgirls, tyvm.
>>572245396It obviously wasn't my whole argument, or even a large part of it. But they are narratively equivalent.
>>572245126Good thing the story fully explained how the lolis' bodies work, why they can't be restored, what the ritual was, and how there is no ambiguity and nothing that can be done
>>572245374>is often a story that made people thinkEvidently not. These dumb fucks aren't capable of thinking.
>>572238085Well, Seia was Seia. The Seia arrogance of Seia saying "Seia do not Seia it" to the Seia ex Seia god Seia she Seia conveniently Seia by Seia random Seia voice to Seia everyone, Seia for Seia to Seia out Seia because Seia is Seia need to Seia anything, Seia's just a Seia one Seia powerup. Seia guess Seia the Seia lolis Seia, sensei's Seia warping "muh Seia and Seia endings" Seia turned Seia on Seia. At this Seia, her Seia are Seia fucking Seia, and Seia fucking Seia on Seia about Seia and Seia. The Seia is Seia so Seia off.
>>572244808because she doesn't have themshe's a perfectly normal, perfectly fertile, perfectly human girl now with an equally normal vagina that doesn't have tentacles
>>572245513that's why is called 'often' but never 'always'
>>572245506It is objectively incorrect and anyone who thinks that should probably reread the story or give up on trying to understand it.
>>572245412for me, it's kanoe plush
>>572245259
>>572245480We literally know nothing about the previous texture, it's all headcanon.
>>572238085>Seia mindbreaks yet another shitposter
>>572245513>duplicate file exists here >>572242153
Keep thinking you will remain safe Sensei. Your days are NUMBERED
>>572244763Were we the machines all along...?
>>572245658how is she so strong...
>These dumb fucks aren't capable of thinking.Ironic
>>572245574Kei would say this
>>572244356the butterfly is clearly gonna be them, it'll randomly show up in future scenes as a teaser before robot lolis return and set up a rival game development club
>>572245335They almost had it, at leastBut they didn't count on Sensei's plot armor being max levelThey were just lucky that Phrenapates wasn't hopped on as many hax
>>572245643What, Set just came in and tried to kill everything cause Horus temporarily restored itself wasn't enough for you?
>>572245259How naive.
>>572245543>>572245658You're so mindbroken you're spam replying thoughbeit.
>>572245669I hope they fuck sensei up enough so he actually uses his shit instead of hiding behind his students again. But we all know it won't happen.
RETARDS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU
Binah-chan soon
>>572245259>hope will always blossom so long as you keep livingThey are not living anymore.
>>572245574>coping over vagina tentacleseveryone's body is different
>>572245512Not fucking everything needs to be spelled out, ffs. I enjoy reading stories where they don't fucking expo dump 300 lines to explain everything that's happening to 45 IQ retards.Following the bread crumb trail was 70% of the fun for me.
>>572244763free will? in this economy?
>>572245757Could just be Set being a nigger. It's also a robot that doesn't communicate and all in all isn't very god-like, so maybe the current texture is making it retarded.
>sensei there's a parcel>it's signed "The Prophets"
>>572245259I have hope, but the characters don't. That's a bad feeling compared to, oh, I don't know, every single story prior to this one? Every single damn one? All of them
>>572245850Binga-chan.
>>572244763I think the NPC theory is real.
>>572245909I seriously have no idea how some of the retards in this thread are incapable of understanding when something is shown and not told. Why didn't Aris use the power to save the triplets? Well you're SHOWN that she didn't do that which is all the proof you need that she COULDN'T do that. Why didn't sensei using the adult card to beat Deca? Well Deca even literally specifically said to sensei that he COULD use it against her so why didn't sensei instantly win? Well this just shows us that the card's power could not beat Deca. If someone needs something to be blatantly spelled out for them to be capable of understanding things that is not a fault of the writing, that is a fault of the reader for being a fucking moron. There is no plot holes here, the criticisms are just stupid.
>>572244846>no kei alteos soon
>>572245850I'm gonna bet you 1 trillion dollars that this was the usual vagueposting bullshit and nothing will come of it before EoS.
>>572245259I'm not an anime character
>>572245303Right their base personality was defying Decagrammaton and trying to thwart their plans, not something they grew into and learnt as a person over the course of the story. You're so fucking right, I'm so fucking dumb, they would have always done this even if this story happened off-screen, it's just their invented personality and their memories don't affect them at all so losing them would just mean nothing. >>572245460It's a 50/50 if it happens I'd imagine, I doubt anyone is happy to see them dead. Maybe Malkuth just goes off to try and find a way
is the next main story the one with kaya and the fake president
>>572246045>choosing one option shows others were not possible>because you take the bus means walking was impossible
>>572246045>I seriously have no idea how some of the retards in this thread are incapable of understanding when something is shown and not told.Personally I imagine they're niggers with no inner dialogue.
>>572245710We are no different from machines. We have our own programming called genes. And it is our duty to spread them!
Kinda fucked up that Momoi has canonically experienced grief now.
>try to take screenshots of the deca skill descriptions>it counts as a key press and closes the skill window right before taking the screenshotree
>>572246005The story and characters are literally all about hope. What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>572246045Well I am also SHOWN that the Deus Ex Machina voice says that Aris' power is OMNIPOTENT and capable of ANYTHING, and I was also SHOWN in the previous discussion comparing robots to show DNA in humans works that they are still REAL despite being ARTIFICIAL, and I was also SHOWN that Aris can EASILY manipulate and restructure matter, so my conclusion is that you can suck my cock and the writing is dogshit.
>>572246256My girl is GROWING
Are Nameless Priests interdimensional?Or does every timeline have their own set of assholes?
>>572245909>>572246045Okay you two, let me tell you about something that was told and not shown>how students can dieYou know why? Because death is a difficult subject, and we already know that students very clearly cannot be killed.You need to actually explain what the mechanics ARE...so that you can execute a plot. They have already did that. Did you get ANGRY about Seia and Azusa thoroughly explaining in no uncertain terms the limits of a student's life? If you didn't, it shouldn't bother your bum to have any explanation at all as to why a robot can't be fixed even though literally in real life you can fix a robot.
>>572245808the shittim chest and credit card are things that have less impact on the reader the more you use them thoughif the prophets actually stuck around, it would've been cool if sensei did something like rerouting all of kivotos' power through sanctum tower to briefly manifest them againmaybe one day sensei will actually use his gun
>>572246005That's literally the point you brainless retard. The point the story is getting across wouldn't work if the characters were like "hur well everything will work out eventually so there's no need to worry". Everything needs to seem hopeless for that point to work.
>>572246247I love this joke 90s villain design.Do we have a list updated with all the npcs?
>>572246045Uh oh. Stinky...
>>572245259I dunno, even Sensei doesn't have hope and they also repeatedly emphasize how you must live with that. At this point Yume has more chances to come back.
>>572246045Kaguya would say this.
>>572246256It's a good material for their next game. They will make souls-like game next now
We need to find Deca and raise her properly this time
>>572245359Yume will be back, I can feel it in my bones
Linuxsenseis, what is the best distro for Blue Archive? Specifically the JP client. I'm thinking EndeavourOS because it's a gaming focused distro (meaning it should be plug-and-play with my hardware from the getgo).
>>572246331They didn't need to do that in volume 3 or volume F
>>572246284resurrecting characters is hack writing, cope
>>572246251We are all pawns... controlled by something greater: Memes, the DNA of the soul!

>>572246045the niggers immediately hounded your ass lol
>>572246441who cares about yume?
NOOOOOO DON'T ASK QUESTIONS JUST CONSUME AND SAY IT'S PEAK IN TWITTER!!!
>>572246323the credit card isn't part of the package, right? the only magic miracle items are the shittim chest, the tower and the staff
>>572246457Vol 3 and F weren't trying to convey the message that hope exists so long as you keep on living. That is the message of vol EX and only works in the context of vol EX where things actually do seem hopeless. What a stupid fucking point to make this was.
>>572246280>>572246331everyone accepts the death, says we need to move on, what are you even talking about? Nobody, not even Malkuth, has a glimmer of hope related to the 3 girls.This is different from how Kei died btw but you know what? Fuck it. Call me a nigger and a retard
>me saying it's bad is asking questions actuallyuh huh
>>572246323I still think it would be funny if he had a revolver that he hip fired like a cowboy at students who are dozing off in class or misbehaving like a strict teacher throwing a piece of chalk.
>>572246449I use Ubuntu and it works. I would use something that's popular and gets good driver support and is easy to debug, but it should work on anything that Proton works on.
>>572246569>Vol 3 and F weren't trying to convey the message that hope exists so long as you keep on livingThat is literally what Sensei tells both Mika and Arius.
>>572246457Okay? So? Vol EX is different, it's the emotional low point of the story, but that doesn't take away from it at all.
Skipping all the Deca content due to being a storylet sucks. How many more years is it going to be until we get a big story conclusion like this?
>>572246280You thought Aris was the main character of this chapter, but you were wrong, it was me, Kei!
>>572246284Why are you even still on that, when it's explicitly said by the soft voice that nothing can be done for the decabrats.There's no argument to be made when your statement is wrong in the first place.
>>572246306You keep calling them robots, which makes it clear you're retarded and I can see how you'd need that 45IQ explanation I mentioned, but it would vastly lower my enjoyment of the story, so I'm glad you're not getting it.
Are you okay-Kei? Heehee
Where are your images, at least make you being angry organic
Um seiachuds they're still discussing the story.
>>572246546>the credit cardNTA, yeah credit card isn't kivotos origin. It's probably an outside artifact from where Sensei was from. Like a cheatpower as an isekai-jin
>>572245374An actual good seiapost.
If the decas can't be revjved because they lack mystic then we will make a miracle and give them mystics.
>>572246672>So?So you can still write good stories without sacrificing your characters to prove your point.
>>572246592the decacunnies are robots, so they didn't really die just gone broken.If they so desire they can send Odyssey school to retrieve the remains or whatever
Europeans have no argument against this
>>572246787Making bad faith arguments based on misunderstandings is not really discussing the story
>>572246653No with Mika and Arius the point was always that hope is still clearly observable and so no matter what mistakes are made you should still cling to that hope. There was never any point in vol 3 or F where hope was completely cut off. That is a specific message of vol EX and why it's the first time the story has done it. God can you tourists even try hide the fact that you haven't even read the story.
>>572246172>Right their base personality was defying Decagrammaton and trying to thwart their plans, not something they grew into and learnt as a person over the course of the story. You're so fucking right, I'm so fucking dumb, they would have always done this even if this story happened off-screen, it's just their invented personality and their memories don't affect them at all so losing them would just mean nothing.Why are you being facetious?You know that they were programmed a certain way and are capable of learning and changing. If they were programmed with a plan that can't even come into fruition, when back when it COULD come into fruition they did everything in their power to avoid it, what makes you think that they would become something different? What makes you so sure they are incapable of learning again? I didn't call you dumb, but you're flipping your lid when all I am doing is pointing out the explicit text, no interpretation on my part to be had. Sensei fucking SAYS they're still valid even thought they're programmed
These shouting matches getting tiring
>>572246884would.
>>572246713Yeah because it's hack writing and the authors are contradicting themselves within not even 5 minutes.
>>572236654Happy birthday! Can’t believe Japan is already in July
>>572246396The final Malkuth scene was the hope scene. You don't need to always route everything through sensei. Let the girl do stuff.
>>572246884*unzips*
My canon wife Fuuka...
>>572246884I'm going to fill KeiC with my cum
>>572246323Sensei has a gun? If we were told at some point, I completely forgot.
>>572246692Nothing else in the game has really built up that much gravitas yet so it's going to be at least two or three.
>>572246045This kills the shitposting tourist.
>>572247019That's the CG that showed the gun. It wasn't explicitly said but we know everyone has to carry one or they get raped.
Did you know that girls poop too?
>>572246884This Kei would be more useful and likeable than the one we got.
>>572246749...Where does it say that they aren't robots, anon? Did you skip that long part where Sensei and them talk about them being robots, or the entire volume with them pointing out that they're robots, or the final bit where Decagrammaton says it made them?Or like, what, what's your argument? Is it>the word robot is never saidWhich is true. In that case, what exactly are you saying? That they a set of special existences in spite of them repeatedly insisting that they aren't alive, were created, and were programmed?But you know what whatever yeah just say I'm retarded for referring to the story.
>>572246890>God can you tourists even try hide the fact that you haven't even read the storyI read the story more times than half of this thread combined. In those stories Mika, Seia, Arius, none of them had hope but Sensei told them things don't end as long as you live.Now, Sensei is completely fucked over because those 3 are not alive.
>>572246934Personally, I love them.
Kaya didn't fucking SHOT ME though!?
>>572245748>rival game development clubPlease let that happen. Make it so that they actually make GOOD games compared to GDD.
>>572246546it's a separate thing, the power of adults but given some jesus/messiah mechanicsit's not been used in a long time because they'd have to start showing how extended usage of it actually has repercussions
>>572246421>All of that to make a slopslikeOnly GDD would do that
How are some of you more autistic than Rio
>>572247183
>>572247015I can't believe she's the same seiyuu as shaula
>>572247117ur dumb
>>572247169Sensei existing was that permanent omnipresent hope, Mika and everyone else just willingly rejected that hope. You are a tourist.
>Kei was resurrectedHow are apologists at once able to defend it, and ignore contradictory points?
>>572247240Soulslike good, JRPGs are shit.
>>572246569I keep seeing this theme in a lot of media these days. What's going on
>>572247249>where_do_you_think_you_are.webp
>>572247209Sensei still uses the credit card all the time. Anytime we use our students instead of a preset (like the final Deca battle and P-sensei), I consider it a use of the card.
bodies not shown = not deadnever forget
>>572245748huhI watched an anime like this before2 rival game dev clubs, cant remember the name
>>572247205>game development club makes soulful but trash games>deca loli game club makes soulless but well made games
>>572247117>poop goes IN and outwhat?
toki marriage
>>572247249Rio isn't even autistic and she did nothing wrong. Her only mistake was not finishing her job.
>>572247421>>>>> Soulful
>>572247412D-Frag
>you misinterpreted your own opinion>also you're wrong>it isn't discussion unless i approve of itWhy not just make your own little chat/blog/discord somewhere where you can control it instead of trying to squat on a public forum like a digital vagrant?
Didn't have enough Seia 0/10.
>>572247315That is so not the fucking message of the story. They still need to be able to see hope even after they graduate, without Sensei's help.
>>572246652Well, as far as I know, the JP client is standalone. I suppose I could get the Windows exe and try through Proton but I've read other anons had success with just the JP client running on Linux.Eh, guess I'll just do it live.
Were you aware self-fornication is a sin… /bag/gots?>*smiles slyly and turns away with hands behind xis’ back*
>>572247154>Where does it say thatLook, I know you cannot comprehend it, that was my point, you need to understand they aren't, not be told they aren't.And no you're not retarded for referring to the story, you're retarded for lacking any sort of abstract reading comprehension.I'm running out of solo Sof images, this is concerning
When's Kivotos 2.
>>572246971The track is switched to the dead end so unless you can go back in time and switch it to the other side it's over.
did Sensei pull out the credit card in the anime?
What's the difference between resurrecting Kei from a small file in a keychain and resurrecting the Deca lolies from the data left in their bodies?
>>572247517The JP client is a windows application, it's not gonna run on Linux unless you use WINE or Proton.
I'm a real BA fan and I shit on BA because I want it to be a good story like FGO and Nikke. You are a fake BA fan because you consoom BA slop and are escited for more BA slop. We are not the same.
>>572247493that one :D
>>572246863I'm sorry the story didn't do what you specifically wanted it to do
>>572247574>dead endyou're so stupid
I await until the day Sensei's soul becomes tainted. A dark soul. A black soul, even.
>>572247606That doesn't fit my narrative that vol EX bad so it doesn't count.
>>572247457>Rio isn't even autistic
Have sexual relations with the gsc pres.
>>572245748>>572247205They would make crazy VR games with Ohr's virtual worldAll students would start commissioning them to make dating games with me as the love interest
>>572247574>>572241583
>>572247638Maximum irony of this post when you're defending edgy shit with death.
>>572247516Volume 2 still has the best message"You can choose who you want to be" is encouraging them to make their own decisions and stand on their own instead of saying "endlessly rely on daddy who will always be here to coddle you and fix your mistakes" like most of the other volumes
So anyway what about all the dead kids from P-Sensei's timeline?
>>572247740Us real BA fans know BA peaked with volume F and it's all been downhill since.
>>572247686No no my point is that EX is dogshit and there is no difference.
>>572247638I can't tell how many layers of falseflagging this post is on.
>>572247574Looking at those tracks, there is no space for the right wheel to go over to the dead end. Looks like it would quite literally just derail the train.
>>572247606>What's the difference between resurrecting Kei from a small file in a keychain and resurrecting the Deca lolies from the data left in their bodies?Because it was set up in the same story volume like a month later.There is no body or any data mentioned. What are you playing at?
Rio is artistic. Get it right.
>>572247665Nice argument.>>572241583Deca wasn't cutting anything until it was soundly defeated.
The consequences of using the Credit Card too much: Yuuka becomes Yuuka*Terror
>>572247559So your argument is that you have no evidence at all, and every piece of evidence I've pointed to does not count because in spite of them definitely being created, definitely being programmed, and definitely not being living beings, there's no 100% statement that they "are robots" and therefore it makes sense that they died.If the argument is an absence of evidence basis, then you're retarded, no? Because instead of then asking "Wait, WHY can they not be revived? What makes them special? The game never said?" you've accepted "well they can't be revived in spite of the game reviving too mechanical lifeforms and a mechanical suit before, and I know they were invented...I'm going to ignore that since the game didn't started forgetting about it all"
>>572247872He is purposefully misunderstanding things to advance his agenda
>>572247618Oh, I see. Yeah, I shouldn't have expected an actual Linux client lol.
>>572247831Except that every post-F story chapter other than this was enjoyable.
>>572247898nice art
>>572247785I prefer Volume 3's message of "Rich Catholic schoolgirls are fucking insane"
>>572247963EX was great, eat my whole ass
>>572247872>There is no body or any data mentioned.It also isn't mentioned that their entire bodies got incinerated or that all data was corrupted. What are you playing at?
>>572246904The cirumstances of the story is what allowed and forced them to become who they were towards the end. There's nothing that can replace that because, again, experience is what makes us grow as a person. A clone CAN'T be the same person because, if they lost their memories of what happened, they would be different people, they would have different feeling, monologues and views because they've experience different things. You'd just create a crude copy of something that you cope over being the real deal but it's just as close approximation as possible and not really them, they acted and behaved as real people would and treating them as a machine you can just slap a name on and say it's them because you programmed them to be that way is more inhumane than anything
>>572247934>there's no 100% statement that they "are robots"I'm positive there are many statements where they are called 機械
>>572247898>>572247980ah, because her body is a work of art, I see.

>>572247898
>>572247864It'd be bumpy but I think it'd fine unless it's a high speed train.
>>572247918Sensei gets prostituted
>>572247764Kei don't do that you're going to make Sensei want to fuck Toki too!
>>572247797FASTER
>>572238060Nothing is impossible in fiction, dumbo
Seduction ninpo
>>572248047It is mentioned that none of the cast think that they are recoverable. Unlike with Kei.
>>572248291I married this.
>>572248061You're talking about bullshit, honestly. Everything you're saying here is your personal opinion absent from what the game has established, and the idea that a person who has lost a few days of memory (crucial or no) is "invalidated" literally means you would say someone with short term amnesia is better off dead. It's actually ridiculous, so I'll stop replying.
>>572248123Good. Very nice, Rio.
>>572248134https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTMk5voYP0s
>>572248134all of eridu's costs would be instantly recoupedwhy didn't she think of this sooner
>>572247934Yes, my argument is that I have no evidence at all and it's just conjecture from the information I've been provided. The second part of my argument is that you appear to have no actual ability to perform even the most rudimentary form of the same conjecture which makes us completely incompatible in terms of story-telling aesthetics.As a closing argument I'm postulating that I am currently winning, because I'm receiving exactly what I desire, story wise.
Because the Rat basically fucked off already we don't even know the actual consequences of overusing the cards.And don't say "Money", he can feed the FOXes with luxurious meals.
>>572248291she's cute but probably one of the least fuckable student in kivotos, I'd even place the lady bird a bit higher than her
The priests are the good guys, you're living a fake world.
>>572248326No it isn't. What the fuck are you talking about? They never say that. If they do, please do post what you're talking about. The most that is said is Kei saying they would have died regardless when Sensei is talking about how he wishes he could have done something
Michiru is not erotic.
>>572248123I wonder how Rio would interpret what the food critic said at the end of Ratatouille
>>572248326No that is never mentioned.
>>572247898You have to be at least a little autistic to be artistic.
>>572245259What hope is there in this dog ass shit fuck elf-ruled world?
>>572248124If it doesn't derail, it will surely damage both the wheel and the left rail on the main track. I think it's just a case of the artist not really knowing how a proper railroad switch works.
>>572248610>>572248610>>572248610
what the fuckI just realized NOW that deca has a live2d
>>572247764>>572248206>16 years oldWell, Toki is actually a child.
>>572248485This. Priests did nothing wrong.
>>572248349NTA, but it's literally addressed in the whole Tiph story.
>>572248467I am performing conjecture, it's why I have a problem with the story. Are you kidding? I'm using my conjecture to query why the pre-established notions of repair and recovery are no longer a factor.>I'm receiving exactly what I desire, story wise.Contrivance? Because it is contrivance (given it neglected to actually properly establish rules and limitations or address, clearly, why the situation turned out that specific way)
>Anyone who disagrees with my view of the story is a retardSummed up the thread for you guys
>>572248349If you cloned them and put them in the world right after the story was done and that was it, they would grow to be different people. What happened to them on the Steel Continent would be pointless, it wouldn't be something that happened to them, it's just a story told to them by other people. They would grow to be different people compared to them if they had survived because they have different experiences to lean on, they would potentially choose different things in the future because they don't have real memories of these things happening to them. They would never be the same person, they're just something you are trying to apply a name to like playing with a doll
>>572248553>>572248486Sensei's words in the ship: We need to think about what we could have done differently so nothing like this happens again. It is tragic but we need to accept it.Not one mention of a plan to fix it, or coming up wtih a plan to fix it.
>>572248746thanks 'moi.
>>572248291>it's not very effective
>>572248815経験ではなく選択
>>572245259Once you stop trying, you cease to be humanEvery person here you see whining about how shit the world is, is coping to a hilarious degree, while countless normal adequate people are out there pursuing their happiness despite the odds
>>572248824This isn't equivalent to it not being possible.
>>572248047So you're saying Odyssey arc will be about them diving to recover their bodies.
>>572249071Acceptance of death is denying the possibility of anything being able to undo it.
>>572249080Would be kino if true.
>>572248815There was an autist who used to post here arguing that because all your students are alive, then all the ones who died in Phren's dimension basically didn't die, and neither did he, and Kuroko shouldn't be sad because all that bad stuff might as well not have happenedDude was fucked in the head
>>572249206Yes, but that doesn't mean anyone said "none of the cast think that they are recoverable". In fact, absolutely nobody actually comments on their state. It's like the cast suddenly starts pretending the 3 brats are human beings, not machines.
>>572248709>ContrivanceYou know, a good of a word as any really. I'm not here to read a texbook, I'm here to read a story and a good story requires some "contrivance" otherwise it's simply boring and predictable.
>>572249268I don't even need to see the other guy to know you're the autist who misunderstood something.
>>572248709The whole "Show not tell" argument that anon was making doesn't even make sense to volume ex, when it was clearly shown MULTIPLE times that the decalolis are robots. This whole argument the anon is having is about his own headcannon on what he interprets on volume EX.
>>572249508You are correct, but I would say that a contrivance should be able to start a plot, but never resolve it
>>572249484>It's like the cast suddenly starts pretending the 3 brats are human beings, not machinesThat would automatically make everyone think that their death is not reversible. Humans die when they are killed.
>>572249680And as I see it, you simply presumed rules to be ironclad, that were simply never meant to be.
>>572249839The problem is the lack of rules even being brought up>SenseiPrologue. We know a gunshot can kill him.>StudentsVolume 3. We're told all the ways that a student can die in spite of what appears to be immortality.>Decalolis?
>>572249080the way theyre showing the continent sinking instead of falling apart gives me hope that they revisit it in future
Akane Love!The story of Deca has ended, the war of the false president/primarch is about to begin
>>572250003Exactly. I don't see that as a problem, but if you simply expect rules to always be ironclad and obvious, you'd form expectations that would probably not enhance your enjoyment of the story. I as a vagueposting schizo enthusiast have been born in that darkness, moulded by it. I didn't read a book that didn't had a coherent ruleset until I was 30 years old.
>>572250471>Double negativeFuck, I need to be Midori'd STAT.
>>572246232Prob
>>572246795I have three of them
>>572247421>soulfulMomoi get off 4chan. Youre games are just trash
>>572247574Bros.... its like the trolley problem
>>572248349>Everything you're saying here is your personal opinion absent from what the game has establishedThis is comical.Aris and Kei, the main protagonists of the section's whole arc is how what you were "programmer" to be not being the be-all-end-all and how their experiences have changed them. The end even spells it out by asking Aris if her world view is informed by learning about the world via video games, at which point she proudly states yes.The decca lolis themselves also directly addressed this during the Tiph arc where they explicitly DO clone Tiph and regret that it's just a copy and not the same Tiph.Cloning them would also rob Nexon of the ability to bring the Deccas back in a few years as part of Malkuth's playable arc.
