#everyone there is a testament to that

i still to this day think it would have been hella epic if campaign 2 had ended with lucien trying to invade exandria with his new living city-fortress and the mighty nein gathering all of the allies they’ve met and the friends they’ve made across the campaign to mount a defence against him. he’d show up with his fleshy brain armies and realise who’s there to stop him: a massive army of friends, all here to stop him.

and he chuckles to himself. “very brave, you lot. but who do you think you are to stop me?”

and veth steps up to say, “we are the mighty nein!”

lucien frowns. “but…there are so many of you.”

funny thing about orv for me is that kdj never stopped asking for help. he's always asking for help. he's always testing the boundaries of kimcom when it comes to dealing with his multiple un-deaths not because he's cruel but because he just can't bring himself to genuinely believe that these people can stay with him for a lifetime. he knows it's wrong. but can someone who's been essentially left to rot by his relatives and society ever fully feel secure so fast especially with people like kimcom? how can you reach out for than hand without flinching after knowing the violence that it can be capable of?

kim dokja is always asking for help i think. in all the ways. he's never stopped. he's never stopped trying to reach for that hand without flinching... and i think that's why hsy would do anything and everything to convince kdj that his efforts would always be worth it... that such a hand reaching out to him will never disappear... only then, can kdj take in the comfort of being loved and grieved and mourned for, as he sits in that subway station

Ok I know people on here probably already know this but like. I want to say. Asuka blowing up Japan was not just a "Haha I'm gonna just do this" it was a "Oh fuck what the fuck is happening we need to aim this so the entire earth doesn't get fucked" and last ditch directed it at Japan. I AM NOT EXCUSING THAT! I AM NOT SAYING ASUKA NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE EVENTS CORRECTLY! Asuka's main goal in turning Aria into Justice was to prevent the Gear Project from being used for war so he created Justice out of Aria (THIS is something you can hate him for this is an extremely fucked up thing to do and I'm not going to analyze what he did to Fredrick and Aria in this post because that's a whole other can of worms) as a command type Gear to be able to PREVENT total war by taking control of ALL gears. However UNBEKNOWNST to him the Universal Will was taking control of Justice/Aria as she awoke and was going to destroy humanity (because The Original fucked up in making the Universal Will and some weird clause happened where "protect humanity" ended up being "humanity is a threat to itself so they all have to die") by mutating the people in Japan into bombs. Asuka realized that if it went on like this the world might be destroyed and in the moment he redirected Justice with the last bit of control he had over her using Manual Override to just destroy Japan to prevent this. It was NOT an easy or light decision that he had time to make! He had to try and stop the Gear Project from being used for warfare and destruction, TWICE, and failed both times and ended up destroying the world anyway. He put the Flame of Corruption in Frederick and turned him into a gear as a failsafe before this, likely because Asuka ONLY had Frederick and Aria to rely on as friends at all. IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY IS HE ABSOLVED OF ANY OF THOSE CRIMES! HE HASN'T EVEN ABSOLVED HIMSELF! HE DID NOT CHOOSE TO BECOME A MONSTER DOING FUCKED UP SHIT FOR NO REASON HE WAS IN A DIFFICULT POSITION BECAUSE OF WHAT HE CREATED WITH FREDERICK AND ARIA!! HE PLANS TO KILL HIMSELF IN HIS STRIVE ARCADE MODE FROM THE GUILT! STOP MAKING ME GO TO BAT FOR ASUKA BECAUSE PEOPLE WON'T READ! ALL OF THIS IS ON THE GGWIKI YOU ONLY NEED TO READ 2 OR 3 ENTRIES TO GET THAT BASIC LEVEL OF INFORMATION!! PLEASE!

I linked Asuka here but also seeing the entry for "Japan" will explain the situation. I am. NOT saying. Asuka was right. I AM saying that the idea that this is a wholly Black and White "everything in the world is his fault" situation is a GROSS FLANDERIZATION and oversimplification of what is an EXTREMELY compelling, horrifying, and tragic story of a man paving his way to hell with good intentions and I need. People to stop talking about Asuka or Chaos lore when they're on screen in Strive when they don't know what the hell they're talking about. Please.
