the most annoying Smash Brothers character butterfly effects me into studying Japanese

(Big Earthbound/MOTHER 3 spoilers ahead!)

Back in December of 2018, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch had released. I didn't think much of it at the time--it was just a game that I'd end up playing with my cousins over Christmas break. It functioned great as a party game back then in that more innocent time, since we all sucked equally at it.

We'd most often play with the standard rule set, forcing ourselves to choose random characters so nobody could get good at using one spammy character.

It was this fatal mistake that introduced me to the character known as "Ness", otherwise known as the kid who screams "PK Fire" several times before exclaiming "Okeh!". If you know how to do this, he becomes a rather irritating character to play against in casual settings.

Fortunately for my cousins, they only suffered the wrath of Ness for one single game.

Unfortunately for everyone, I decided I would get better at playing Ness in Smash Brothers just for the fun of it.

Fortunately for everyone, I didn't really become much better than knowing how to use the shield button and following the PK Fire spam with a swift swing from his trusty wooden bat--which is still annoying to play against, but not terrible to avoid if you know how to.

Of course, when I got my butt handed to me repeatedly in Smash's online matchmaking, I stopped really trying to get better at the game. Even through that disappointment, though, there was still a nagging impulse to try Earthbound, the game that Ness originates from.

Fast forward to 2020, the year the world went weird. In the boring isolation of the pandemic summer, between bouts of working on a Minecraft mod that never got finished, wasting away on the servers of Team Fortress 2, and attempts to stay in shape for the upcoming soccer season, I started playing games on my 3DS again, sticking mostly to eShop-exclusive titles such as indie and Virtual Console games. (RIP 3DS eShop, you will be sorely missed by many.)

Of course, in the midst of indie titles like VVVVVV, Cave Story, and The Binding of Isaac, there lay Earthbound: the original Earthbound-inspired indie RPG. About depression.

I'm kidding, of course. Earthbound explores more existential/absurd themes as opposed to tackling depression. In fact, the only Earthbound-inspired indie RPG I can think of is OMORI. (I think Undertale ends up getting lumped into that category a lot too because of its substantial story--though at that point I'd rather just call the genre "Indie RPGs with interesting stories". But enough ranting.)

Surprisingly, I'd managed to play Earthbound without getting major spoilers about crucial story moments--which I think really adds to the experience of anything. Though, that's kind of obvious. Still, I think the story still lands and hits just as hard even if you know what's coming.

Earthbound, as mentioned earlier, is a 1994 SNES RPG produced by Ape Inc. and HAL Laboratory (yes, the masterminds behind the Kirby series!), written/directed by Shigesato Itoi and with (legendary) lead programmer Satoru Iwata. There's more interesting history behind the game and its development, but I'll leave that up to you whether you want to read into it more or not.

The story of Earthbound itself is built upon the quest for Ness (and his friends) to save the world from the evil alien Giygas--though the looming threat of world destruction honestly feels so minor in the quirky world of Earthbound. Sure, there's robots and animals that have been influenced by Giygas to kill you, but Giygas's influence ends up nothing more than a justification as to why otherwise peaceful entities go out of their way to chase you down on the overworld map.

There's so much to Earthbound to unpack that, again, I've only really got space to discuss my top-very-most-favorite moments of the game.

Perhaps one of the best moments of the game happens about a third of the way through its course--it's got no official name, but Earthbound fans know it as the "Coffee Break" scene.

After defeating a mound of ooze that's been terrorizing the curious Mr. Saturns, Ness's party takes a short rest in a hot spring while drinking coffee served by a Mr. Saturn. The screen fades to black, and an epic monologue begins scrolling in front of a psychedelic blue-and-green background. The end of this monologue is perhaps the most inspiring part:

One thing you must never lose is courage. If you believe in the goal you are striving for, you will be courageous. There are many difficult times ahead, but you must keep your sense of humor, work through the tough situations and enjoy yourself.

(Earthbound "Coffee Break" Scene)

Now, when I experienced this scene for the first time, I was nothing but a weird anxious mess of something between a middle schooler and a freshman, daunted by the world and its uncertainty. So of course this scene resonated well with me.

Four(ish) years later I'm in a much better place psychologically and these lines still inspire me. I've been fortunate enough to receive a print with those exact lines that's now proudly displayed on my dresser in my room.

This is just one example of Itoi's masterful writing in action--though unfortunately it's not the 'original original' text--it's been translated. I think the translators did an excellent job with these games--but no matter how good a translator is, it's just fact that you're not reading the original text and thus you might not be picking up on the author's true voice.

Anyway, continuing on with Earthbound's awesomeness, there's a scene much later in the game where Ness ventures deep into "Magicant"--a world formed from his own memories. This is where I feel like Earthbound's story's "coming-of-age" portion hits the hardest. It's a very literal representation of Ness reflecting on himself and continuing to grow throughout his adventure--especially at the end of the stage, where upon defeating "Ness's Nightmare", a short cutscene plays where our hero receives massive boosts to every single stat--much more substantial than after any other fight. It's to reflect him overcoming his fears and doubts, and growing immensely as a result--returning to that idea of courage again.

If I ramble any longer about Earthbound, though, I'll never finish this post.

So, moving on, after beating (and loving) Earthbound, I obviously searched for similar games to play next.

MOTHER 3 tends to be high up on these lists of "what to play post-Earthbound". Being another game written and directed by Shigesato Itoi, I obviously had to try it next!

Unfortunately, it's never been officially released in English. In fact, at this point, it's just comedic how Nintendo sort of refuses to mention the game to non-Japanese audiences outside of Smash Brothers. There's even a Robot Chicken skit about it!

Thankfully, there's a fantastic fan translation for the game (project lead Clyde "Tomato" Mandelin) that lets stupid Americans and other English-speakers play the game without learning a new language.

So I'd tried this fan patch that same summer. Unfortunately, I got stuck right before the best part of the game started, so I never got further than the beginning of Chapter 4.

And it stayed that way for years.

Until last summer.

Towards the end of the summer last year, I'd picked my now-modded 3DS back up again and decided to hack the MOTHER 3 fan translation onto it.

I know I said the game only gets good after Chapter 4, but that's not because the beginning of the game is terrible. It's just sort of slow--at least in my opinion. The story for these sections are fantastic too--it's very good exposition, in my opinion. Somehow, though, the later story manages to dwarf that excellent exposition with how well it's done.

There's so much else I could rave about this game too--but again, in the sake of finishing this today, I've got to stick to my favorite parts.

First, the hardware upgrade. The graphics and soundtrack for MOTHER 3 are permitted to be much more expressive because of refined console capabilities. Every single animation is so expressive--from the cutscenes to the gameplay, everything just exudes personality. Perhaps the expressiveness of it all makes it an excellent case study for the idea of "show, don't tell"-- something I've noticed quite a few modern games lacking in.

Shigesato Itoi obviously does a wonderful job of tackling emotional themes again in this final installation of the MOTHER series. This game's story jumps from character to character at the start of the game, eventually focusing on Lucas's response to the rampant urbanization of his once-peaceful hometown--as well as his dead mother, missing brother, and mourning father. His ragtag party grows to include his dog Boney, the assertive princess Kumatora, and the limping thief Duster.

There's a scene late in the game where the party washes up on the shores of Tanetane Island and consumes psychoactive mushrooms, leading to a miserable trip filled with hostile hallucinations. At points, people important to the party members end up ridiculing and threatening them. There's an incredibly memorable moment where Lucas hallucinates his brother and his father threatening to beat and flog him. It's easy to see this scene as just "Generic Drug-Fuelled Hallucination Scene #87", but in reality it confronts these very real (and sometimes rational) fears of being betrayed by those closest to us.

Again, I could go on and on about MOTHER 3, but for the sake of time, I have to move on.

After beating MOTHER 3, I started reading into a lot of media regarding it--stuff I'd avoided beforehand to avoid any more egregious spoilers than the ones I'd already unfortunately received. One of the most interesting pieces of media, in my opinion, were the lead translator's "commentary" on the process of translating the game. (These notes can be found here, if you're interested!)

Being an aspiring story-rich-game developer myself, the notes were incredibly fascinating to me, with all the minute changes and creative liberties that were taken in order to preserve the original intents of the game while preparing it for Western audiences. If I remember correctly, the team needed a programmer to modify the text scrolling methods the game had in order to print English text properly!

This ultimately inspired me to start learning Japanese myself, in hopes of trying out the original, untranslated MOTHER 3 and experiencing the differences for myself.

After weeks of literally studying just the characters of Japanese hiragana and katakana, I'd finally started actually "studying" Japanese with the help of Duolingo and my friend who'd been part of a Japanese exchange program before.

Just over 200ish days later, here I am with a 199-day streak on Duolingo spending hours earlier today studying how to discuss public transport and houses in Japanese. It's a slow process, but if I keep studying my textbooks and learning vocabulary, I'll become more and more fluent until I can play MOTHER 3 untranslated.

And to think this all began with the worst character to play against in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.

…

Thanks for reading ALL of this! I know it's SUPER long, so I really appreciate it!

See you later!

…

(PS: There's probably issues with my post. Unfortunately, I'm a little pressed for time right now, so I can't really go back and proofread right now. Sorry!)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer only a vision of the future – it is a reality that is only set to grow more deeply integrated into our lives, and our kid’s education. Among the more fascinating trends AI is making its mark on is robotics in education is one of the most popular trends. With the help of AI in robotics learning, children are now learning with tools and experiences that were previously in the university laboratory section only. Kids’ robotics has become not only entertaining but also a valuable method of teaching children not only programming and mechanics but also problem-solving and creativity. We will briefly discuss how Artificial Intelligence is being incorporated into robotics education for children and what AI education could be in the future. 

The Growing Role of AI in Robotics Education 

AI and robotics education have brought a new dimension to this world. Conventional introduction to robotics needed coding knowledge, electronics, and mechanical engineering among other things. However, with the help of AI, learning robotics online is possible and interesting even for children of a younger age. AI makes it easier for kids to code since they are presented with interfaces and block-based programming that help them start with little struggle. Most of the AI platforms are developed with interactive graphical interface tools which makes it easy for young children to learn robotics even in class eight. 

AI in STEM education not only enhances the learning process but also makes it more personalized. For instance, AI algorithms analyze how each child learns, their strengths and weaknesses, and adapt to offer customized lessons and challenges. This tailored learning experience allows children to progress at their own pace, which is essential for keeping them motivated and interested in STEM subjects like robotics. 

Key Benefits of AI-Integrated Robotics for Kids 

 1. Engaging, Hands-On Learning Experiences 

AI-powered robotics for kids enables interactive, practical learning. Rather than traditional, rote-based education, AI and robotics courses focus on real-world applications. For example, kids can learn to program a robot to solve a maze, follow a path, or respond to basic commands. These activities go beyond abstract learning, as children get to see their efforts result in real actions from a robot, boosting engagement and understanding. 

  2. Personalized Learning Paths with AI  

One of the primary advantages of AI in education is its adaptability to individual learning styles and paces. Children have different ways of understanding and absorbing information, and a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t always effective. AI-driven platforms use algorithms to monitor a child’s progress, adapting content and difficulty levels to suit each learner’s needs. 

For instance, if a child struggles with certain programming concepts, the AI can recommend exercises or tutorials to reinforce understanding. Conversely, if a child excels, the AI can introduce more challenging tasks to keep them engaged. This personalized learning approach is especially beneficial for kids, as they can learn robotics online without feeling pressured or frustrated. Personalized content encourages kids to explore topics more deeply, fostering curiosity and a genuine interest in learning.  

3. Accessibility through Online Platforms  

The rise of online learning platforms has made robotics education more accessible than ever. Families no longer need to invest in expensive robotics kits or travel to specialized workshops; the best online platforms for kids offer structured robotics courses with video tutorials, interactive exercises, and even virtual labs. 

Certain online robotics courses utilize virtual environments where students can experiment with coding and witness their robot’s behavior in a simulated setting, which is particularly valuable for students who don’t have physical robots to practice with. AI-powered simulations make learning robotics feasible for a wider audience, enabling students to learn from home at their own pace. These tools are particularly beneficial for students who may not have access to robotics programs at school but are eager to explore STEM.  

The Future of AI in Robotics Education 

Thus, as AI advances, so does the potential for it to be used in education, especially in STEM and robotics for children. The trends for the future of AI in education are the emergence of more sophisticated AI applications that will not only enable children to learn how to command robots but also to use AI to solve problems. Here are some trends to look forward to: 

1. Greater Integration of AI in STEM Education  

AI in STEM education is getting mainstream, and more schools and online platforms use AI to teach math, science, and engineering. In robotics, it will probably be even more expensive when AI will grant robots facial recognition, voice mimicking, as well as more sophisticated decisions making capabilities. This advancement will enable the kids to design complex robotic systems, which will enable them to be ready for the technological future awaiting them. 

2. Enhanced Collaboration and Creativity 

AI can allow enhancing cooperation between students from different countries working on a common project. Just picture the idea of kids from different countries working as a team to design and program a robot – apart from technical skills that children acquire, they develop interpersonal ones as well. These collaborations are easily facilitated and monitored with the use of AI powered tools. 

3. Improved Accessibility to AI and Robotics Education 

With advancement in AI technology and defense in cost, many families and schools will be in a position to offer children robotic education. The best online robotics courses will also maintain the use of AI tools that enhance learning in the future even more. It is assumed that platforms should provide multilingual communication support, translation in real time, and accessibility for disabled children, and therefore AI and robotics education should be provided to any child who wants it. 

Finding the Best AI Powered Robotics Courses for Kids 

For parents interested in introducing their children to the world of AI and robotics, Guruface Academy offers an array of specialized robotics courses tailored to different age groups and skill levels. One of our flagship courses, Robotics Voyager, is ideal for young learners, introducing them to the basics of robotics and helping them build simple machines through engaging, hands-on projects.

Conclusion 

AI is revolutionizing how children learn and interact with robotics which was once a dull subject in STEM. With the help of AI, robotics for kids is the way to develop skills that will be valuable in the future technologically advanced society. In the future, as the application of AI develops, education is going to provide even more opportunities, such as organizing collaboration with partners from different countries, as well as the individual approach to every child.

Sonic Underground episode 40: Virtual Danger

AKA: THE FINAL EPISODE

I’m watching Sonic Underground in search of inspiration to finish a fic I’ve been writing forever. It’s a sad state of affairs. See the recap of the first three episodes here, if you're interested!

The Plot (for want of a better word): Sonic and Manic have been training their piloting skills with a virtual reality game, but it turns out their online friend is Robotnik in disguise! Can they escape the trap he’s set for them, or will they be trapped in cyberspace forever?

An interesting factoid, before we begin. The creators of Batman Beyond and The Justice League mentioned that they learned a lot from doing Batman Beyond, and one of the important things was that it doesn’t matter what your series is doing or how well it’s going (or not), the season finale should ALWAYS feel important. It should wrap up a storyline, it should set a full stop on a sentence. That way, no matter what happens, your fans will be satisfied with it.

As we all know, this series was not intended to be viewed in any particular order, so you can't expect this episode to wrap anything up properly.

However! This episode does KIND of wrap up a storyline that’s been running throughout the series, about the Resistance skimming supplies. It shows up in most Cyrus episodes. You probably wouldn’t have noticed it, but hey! Credit where due!

We open on the boys playing a VR game. They are just about to defeat their 'online friend' when Sonia walks in and pulls the plug on their game console. They’re late to a meeting.

CYRUS.

If you remember episode 12, you will remember the zombie robot, which allows a pilot to take remote control of a machine. It’s back. Yay. The boys apparently want to prove their skills have improved, because they’ve been playing video games. And they do pass the test, so it turns out video games ARE good for you, any parents who may be watching and still doubting whether their kids should be allowed to buy a Sega Saturn/Dreamcast in a couple of years.

Robotnik is going to be doing an audit on his supply ships, which means he’s definitely going to notice that the Resistance have been taking them. So they’re onto plan B: steal ALL the supply ships before Robotnik can change strategy.

There are three left to take over, and Cyrus assigns Sonic the last one. Sonia objects, because the last one is the riskiest, and she’s the best pilot. The way it’s framed, this isn’t arrogance so much as her being worried about Sonic. Combined with looks she was giving him a few episodes ago, it makes me wonder if they wanted a mini storyline of Sonia worrying about Sonic taking too much of the risks… could’ve been a good one!

Sonic does indeed get caught, but turns it into a kamikaze flight, turning his ship back on Robotnik’s palace for a crash. He barely misses Robotnik himself by like a half-metre. But the point is, all the supply ships are now out of Robotnik’s reach and he has to re-orient his factories to rebuild. Successful mission all round, and the triplets are given a few days off.

Manic dozes off to have a dream about playing more video games, but this time, Sonia has decided to play too. And of course she is immediately better at it than them. Whether this is just how the show functions or a sign of Manic's low self esteem, we will never know.

The Song: Don’t let your guard down. A very strange 80s/early 90s pop song, running a bit light on lyrics – mostly just “Don’t let your guard down. Keep your shield up, you gotta be ready”. Which, again, propaganda sure, but… not much for a good song, guys. Perhaps this is just proof of why Manic isn't the band's lyricist.

In the ACTUAL game, their 'online friend' offers them a mod, and promises a better one later. Because cyber security is not yet a common thing, the boys do not think twice about downloading and installing both files, no questions asked.

But once they’re in the new mod, their online friend is revealed to be Robotnik, and this has all been a trap! Now the… Okay, I’m not entirely sure how this happens, but they get zapped into the game. And apparently, if you die in the game, you die in real life. And… Look. Shadow the Hedgehog did this too, so I have to accept it as a thing that can happen in the sonic universe, but I will never not think it’s a little silly.

The point is: the boys are trapped and Sonia sees it happen.

Sonia calls Cyrus, who creates a program to allow Sonia into the game virtually, and pull Robotnik in physically. Don’t question it. While Sonia’s trying to rescue her brothers, Cyrus is going to try to hack Robotnik’s satellite to disrupt his connection, which will apparently win the game for the hedgehogs. Seriously, don’t question. Just accept.

Surprisingly, Sonia’s amazing piloting skills do not actually save the day. Cyrus cutting off the satellite dish does. I am legitimately surprised.

The episode ends with the triplets sending the now unloaded cargo ships back to Robotnik’s palace, further damaging it. Sonic declares it “Game over, Buttnik!”

And that’s it. That’s the end of Sonic Underground.

Sure was an episode, huh?

Look, it was incredibly underwhelming and very much Just An Episode, but on a meta level, it was actually a pretty good culmination of the series. There was the weirdly fluid animation that was absolutely not quality checked. There was the random disjointed plot that barely hung together. There was the odd character relationships and motivations that were generally fine but also kind of illfitting. There was the conflict and resolution in the final five minutes of the episode.

There was no Sleet or Dingo, and the song was barely an attempt, but OTHERWISE.

This was Sonic Underground, for all its faults and wonders.

Come back tomorrow for final thoughts, if you’re interested!

How AI is Transforming Robotics Education for Kids

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer only a vision of the future – it is a reality that is only set to grow more deeply integrated into our lives, and our kid’s education. Among the more fascinating trends AI is making its mark on is robotics in education is one of the most popular trends. With the help of AI in robotics learning, children are now learning with tools and experiences that were previously in the university laboratory section only. Kids’ robotics has become not only entertaining but also a valuable method of teaching children not only programming and mechanics but also problem-solving and creativity. We will briefly discuss how Artificial Intelligence is being incorporated into robotics education for children and what AI education could be in the future. 

The Growing Role of AI in Robotics Education 

AI and robotics education have brought a new dimension to this world. Conventional introduction to robotics needed coding knowledge, electronics, and mechanical engineering among other things. However, with the help of AI, learning robotics online is possible and interesting even for children of a younger age. AI makes it easier for kids to code since they are presented with interfaces and block-based programming that help them start with little struggle. Most of the AI platforms are developed with interactive graphical interface tools which makes it easy for young children to learn robotics even in class eight.

These activities go beyond abstract learning, as children get to see their efforts result in real actions from a robot, boosting engagement and understanding. 

  2. Personalized Learning Paths with AI  

One of the primary advantages of AI in education is its adaptability to individual learning styles and paces. Children have different ways of understanding and absorbing information, and a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t always effective. AI-driven platforms use algorithms to monitor a child’s progress, adapting content and difficulty levels to suit each learner’s needs. 

For instance, if a child struggles with certain programming concepts, the AI can recommend exercises or tutorials to reinforce understanding. Conversely, if a child excels, the AI can introduce more challenging tasks to keep them engaged. This personalized learning approach is especially beneficial for kids, as they can learn robotics online without feeling pressured or frustrated. Personalized content encourages kids to explore topics more deeply, fostering curiosity and a genuine interest in learning.  

3. Accessibility through Online Platforms  

The rise of online learning platforms has made robotics education more accessible than ever. Families no longer need to invest in expensive robotics kits or travel to specialized workshops; the best online platforms for kids offer structured robotics courses with video tutorials, interactive exercises, and even virtual labs. 

Certain online robotics courses utilize virtual environments where students can experiment with coding and witness their robot’s behavior in a simulated setting, which is particularly valuable for students who don’t have physical robots to practice with. AI-powered simulations make learning robotics feasible for a wider audience, enabling students to learn from home at their own pace. These tools are particularly beneficial for students who may not have access to robotics programs at school but are eager to explore STEM.  

The Future of AI in Robotics Education 

Thus, as AI advances, so does the potential for it to be used in education, especially in STEM and robotics for children. The trends for the future of AI in education are the emergence of more sophisticated AI applications that will not only enable children to learn how to command robots but also to use AI to solve problems. Here are some trends to look forward to: 

1. Greater Integration of AI in STEM Education  

AI in STEM education is getting mainstream, and more schools and online platforms use AI to teach math, science, and engineering. In robotics, it will probably be even more expensive when AI will grant robots facial recognition, voice mimicking, as well as more sophisticated decisions making capabilities. This advancement will enable the kids to design complex robotic systems, which will enable them to be ready for the technological future awaiting them. 

2. Enhanced Collaboration and Creativity 

AI can allow enhancing cooperation between students from different countries working on a common project. Just picture the idea of kids from different countries working as a team to design and program a robot – apart from technical skills that children acquire, they develop interpersonal ones as well. These collaborations are easily facilitated and monitored with the use of AI powered tools. 

3. Improved Accessibility to AI and Robotics Education 

With advancement in AI technology and defense in cost, many families and schools will be in a position to offer children robotic education. The best online robotics courses will also maintain the use of AI tools that enhance learning in the future even more. It is assumed that platforms should provide multilingual communication support, translation in real time, and accessibility for disabled children, and therefore AI and robotics education should be provided to any child who wants it.

sword art online (2012)

This anime was one of my very first anime, so it was very nostalgic to watch it a second time. SAO seems to take a whole new perspective on how we view escapism and fantasy: is it really all it's cracked up to be? Video games and movies are an escape for many, and oftentimes you find yourself wishing to be a part of the adventure. With the developing medium of VR, it seems like that's all possible. I don't know if this anime's context only aligns with Japan, because globally, I see this need for escapism everywhere. As Kirito says in the very first episode: "In this world, a single blade can take you where you want to go." In the world of SAO, Kirito is powerful and influential, and that is probably why he and many of the players got hooked into it in the first place - of course before they all got trapped in it.

In the grand scheme of things, the players seemed to forget there was a real world to come to. The whole theory of post modernism suggests that the simulacra becomes so close to the real image that we can get tricked by what's in front of us. When Kirito is excited to dig into a rare rabbit he caught in the game, he doesn't stop to think that he can't even digest he food he is eating. When Asuna and Kirito lay in the grass and nap, they don't really sit upright and think about how it's all pixels and nerve signals tricking their brain. They feel the sensations but their body is not breathing in the oxygen around them. Well, it's not like they had a choice. Acknowledging the emptiness of their reality would not have gotten them far. Like in the real world, is it really fun to point out that everything we enjoy and consume in this day and age is just copies upon copies?

What's uplifting about this anime is that it shows that while the players are forced to live in SAO, a virtual reality game where you can actually die, the ability to love and to grieve is very much real. Asuna and Kirito's love transcends the virtual and real world, as we see in the end of episode 14 as Kirito limps out of his hospital room to find Asuna. Humans will always love and feel grief, even as a simulacra plays tricks on them. Yui was a good example of this, being made of code and software and still being dear to Asuna and Kirito, as if she is really their child. I still have some gripes about the fact that they are married and have a kid at 16 and 17, but I think they have gone through enough trauma and also get pass since they are still kids who probably don't know any better.

It really gets me thinking as we watch androids and robots, and how they purposefully resemble humans. The software and bolts makes it all meaningless, but we still recognize a person. Or, at least we are uncomfortable enough to acknowledge that it looks humanoid. Will we come to a point where we can't even recognize what a real human and what a fake human look like? We already sort of see it with plastic surgery, and photoshop, two forms of simulacra of what the human body should look like. Now, we reference pictures instead of actual humans. Now, it seems we get further and further away from the image of what humans are supposed to look like. But hey, this is just a little silly anime about sword fighting and fan service, so I might be reading too much into it.
