[alex-dontknow]

returning to gacha world reminded me how fixated i was on several characters

specifically the djs (even more specifically x, clover and phantom) and also some of the lunatics—

also sol!!! i love him sm he's one of my favorite villains though gm desperately needs a revamp

[thevexinator]

Since I'm that one unemployed friend who has way too much free time, I tried to essentially create a basis of existence [to the best of my knowledge and using the games for reference] for Gacha World.

Keep in mind, this is me trying to piece together a timeline that doesn't exist, I don't think. I tried a basis for Gachaverse, World, Resort, Memories and even Anime Gacha to extract what little lore I could get my hands on.

[Feel free to add]

The timeline here:

So Gacha World had to be created at some point. There are two creators: Luni and Sol. After Sol loses his wife and daughter, his growing spite creates corruption. Luni banishes Sol and the corruption, to a certain extent. My excuse for Sol being the root of all corruption is: well, it had to exist somehow.

Xkour, Xkour Skylines, Vinyl City, Chibion and Neon City were the first to arrive. These locations were based on old Lunime games that either don't exist anymore/have minimal information about them. These world's were tied into Gacha World using Luni's powers.

My guesses to how the world's function:

Gacha Moon, Woods and Kingdom were the first to be created by Luni as a base of operation/testing stuff out, like a blank plain in a game creation software.

Elementia is the world with no defined origin. It was a plain Luni created that gained life of its own thanks to the influence of Chibion.

Among the first characters were the DJs, Xkour players/guardians, Chibion's cast of characters and the Faction Leaders. Most other's were isekai'd from other dimensions/timelines or created by Luni herself.

Neon City has the most intense history of all the World's. Going off of the game "Color Burst", it implies that Neon City could've had up to 12 factions. Cyan reigned as the supreme faction until it became abandoned and overrun by monsters and is now a location under Blue Faction territory. The orange faction fell under territory of the Red Faction, the Purple Faction claimed the pink faction, White and Black factions hold a shared rule over the silver faction and the Yellow Faction has territory on a decent part of the gold faction. More on Neon City in it's own designated post.

Chibion and Elementia account for the same territory. Yume and Slyph are hinted at being acquainted to some extent, going off the dialog in Gacha World. Elemental Forest is located in close proximity to the human settlement of Chibion.

Xkour and Vinyl City are in close relation. It's unclear how this is, but DJ Lyte regularly races against Kilios in his spare time.

The other character sets have their own worlds that haven't been defined yet. Most of them were isekai'd from other places, but they're accustomed to this new change.

[12am-motivation]

Excuse me but could we possibly see your SSR and UR Sol collection?

Also what are your pronouns

Thank you for the ask, Andrea! Sol doesn't usually come home, unfortunately, but I did get lucky that he was the guaranteed card in some banners!

(I spent 70 vouchers on the current anniversary banner but the gacha gods are incredibly stubborn rn)

I also have these Memory Cards, do they count? Hehe

As for my pronouns, I go by she/her! Thank you for asking. :>

[phanmer2]

Why are there no Gacha Memories fics that include Sol?

I WANTED TO MARRY THIS GUY WHEN I WAS YOUNGER

WAS IT JUST ME??

[pebbledragon78]

(Edited because I have more info!)

To answer one of your points; The ZEXAL person investigating KaibaCorp’s existence was Trey, in his own event! He was even asking Quattro “Hey what the actual hell is this” 😆😆😆

Also, the VRAINS characters themselves seem to be the real deal, given that from their perspective Duel Links is a deeper extension/alternate part of VRAINS that according to Blue Angel in her own event “Was not created by Sol Technologies”.

In Spectre’s event they even investigate how Duel Links can recreate entire events based on how people memorize it (For example, the threat to VRAINS’ existence from the Hanoi Tower or even the Lost Incident, which is absolutely insane!!!), which also explains how A.) The ZEXAL World is repeating events from the anime (Probably Don Thousand and the scattered Numbers somehow interfering with everyone’s memories again) and B.) Revived characters returning to their original viewpoints from before dying/recovering their memories (Examples: Yuto and Aporia’s revivals in their own events).

EDIT 1: Most characters themselves being AI can be corroborated by the fact that some have lines for both anime/manga cards, implying they’re a composite of the original character! (Example: Duel Links’ Jack is a composite AI version of the original 5Ds Jack, given he has lines for both his anime/manga 5Ds and ARC-V counterpart cards).

EDIT 2: Point A can also be proven by Jim’s event, in which he explains to Syrus and Hassleberry that Duels within Duel Links leave behind digital data similar to fossils which when unearthed can reveal memories (forgotten or not) and repeat them in real time (Again, we see this happen in Spectre’s event) (This would also explain how the ZEXAL cast remember more and more memories the longer they stay in Duel Links and duel there).

Duel Links lore is ABSOLUTELY INSANE once you start paying attention to it, and it would be hard if not impossible to keep up with all of it if it weren’t for the community and YugiTubers sharing some screenshots (shoutout to Veiz and YuDL!!!).

This is why regardless of metas or gachas I will always advocate for Duel Links to have a long lifespan. We needed something like this!!!

I'm sorry but WHAT is happening in Duel Links??

*CRACKS KNUCKLES* ALRIGHT im certain other people could explain this better than I could (bark at me if any of this is wrong,) but, an attempt at a quick rough tl;dr of it:

so like. an important thing to note with DL is that like..... the in-universe explanation for Duel Links is that it's one of Seto Kaiba's new VR Next Evolution of Dueling Ego Projects, which like, ok sure, he Makes Those, but what's a little alarming with this one is that technically (almost) none of the characters In The Game are actually Those Characters Specifically, they're AI recreations of them with their original self's memories (that's already a lot, right out the gate.) (I say "almost" everyone because I think it's implied DSOD Kaiba and maybe Mokuba actually Are them because it's Their Game and they're always product testing it, there might be others though)

anyway another thing with this situation is that, uh, Most Characters in Duel Links Do Not Know They're AI. They just assume they're the original guy, that's just them! Hanging out in this cool new Duel VR! But then sometimes you DO get characters who actively are aware that they're just code in a video game (Yami Bakura and Bruno 5D's both comment on it), so you have this really interesting ecosystem of duelists who Are aware they don't really exist, and duelists who are None the Wiser. absolutely batshit.

and sure this is all well and fine with like, DM and maybe GX characters, ok sure it makes sense Kaiba would be recreating notable duelists of that era, but i cannot stress enough He Is Also Making AI Recreations of Dead People. DL very much takes place post-manga, post-DSOD. But Yami Yugi is There. Yami Bakura and Yami Marik are Very There. Manga Pegasus is there. Seto "I Will Never Learn to Come to Terms With Grief" Kaiba is actively raising the dead in his little VR card game simulator so they can live forever and there's a 50/50 chance they'll be FULLY AWARE that they died. JESUS.

There's also the hulking elephant in the room of Duel Links Has Been Including Characters From Series Kaiba Has Nothing to Do With For Quite Some Time Now--and a lot of those characters are like HEY. WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE. like I SWEAR someone from either Zexal or Arv-V was actively like "hi what the hell is KaibaCorp" so like...Kaiba's branding is ALL OVER THE VR WORLD EVEN IN THE WORLDS HE DIDNT EXIST IN. It's painting this absolute off the rails picture of Seto Kaiba trying to create this virtual multiverse of The Best Duelists From Every Timeline Living or Dead, and half the guys he's pulling in at this point are like *spawns into a perfect recreation of their hometown with no real idea of who did this* "what in the goddamn."

like guys from zexal/arc-v are actively IN GAME like trying to figure out why this VR world exists and who created it. It's absolutely wild and fascinating to watch. excited to see what happens when they add VRAINS world next month?!?!? idk anything about VRAINS really but it's probably going to make the DL lore even more bananas.

ANYWAY. ALL OF THAT SAID. NOW WE HAVE MAXIMILLION PEGASUS DROPPING IN-GAME OMINOUS SENTIMENTS it's kind of a culmination of all of the aforementioned shit. Duel Links Pegasus (an AI recreation of manga!Pegasus, who is fully aware A.) that's he's dead and B.) that there's multiple worlds and timelines crammed into this Virtual Reality) has a conversation with Paradox (an AI recreation of Paradox the Bonds Beyond Time Yugioh Movie Bad Guy, who, for all intents and purposes, fully believes he's the real dude and he wants to kill-die-explode-murder Pegasus SO BAD) breaking down that "hey, this place unites different histories, and if you kill me duel monsters won't cease to exist. Anyway, I'm not real! Ohoho! This world holds threads of tragedy, Paradox-boy!" <-- (not verbatim. but i wish it was.) Meanwhile Paradox is having a sputtering breakdown right next to him. This is a video game to play yugioh the trading card game.

like. it's just absolutely wild. konami could have just said "hey heres yugioh characters from every series. whatever" but no instead they threw in a bunch of mild psychological horror and inter-series friction and existentialism and it's a freemium video game that i have 600+ hours on on steam. yugioh duel links !

Manga the Week of 7/21/21

SEAN: July continues to exist, despite the best efforts of calendar cancellers. What manga do we have?

ASH: A fair bit, it would seem!

SEAN: Airship has digital-first releases for Adachi and Shimamura 6 and Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear 7. In print, they debut Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!, and we also get the 4th volume of The Invincible Shovel.

Ghost Ship debuts Call Girl in Another World (Isekai demo Fuuzokujou Yatte Mita). A sex worker who works at a soapland suddenly finds herself in another world! In order to return, well, if you guessed “she has to be a sex worker in this fantasy world”, you’re on the nose. This is NOT the same as JK Haru Is a Sex Worker in Another World, FYI, and I suspect is far more interested in the sex. It runs in Houbunsha’s Comic Trail.

J-Novel Club, first of all, has all the print books I mentioned two weeks ago – they were delayed due to ongoing shipping issues from the Suez Canal blockage earlier in the year.

ASH: It’s been a rather chaotic time for the shipping industry. (And just about every other industry, for that matter.)

SEAN: Digitally, we see Cooking with Wild Game 13, The Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar 16, Tearmoon Empire 5, and the 5th and final volume of The White Cat’s Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King’s Lap. Tearmoon Empire is essential reading for shoujo light novel fans.

Kaiten Books has a lot of new print volumes for series that were previously digital. We get debuts for Gacha Girls Corps, UzaMaid: Our Maid Is Way Too Annoying!, and The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting.

They’ve also got the 2nd volume of The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting digitally.

Kodansha has a print debut that may seem a bit familiar: Battle Angel Alita is coming out with a new translation in paperback. This is the original version from 1990.

ASH: Interesting. I’d missed that this was going to be a new translation.

MELINDA: I guess I’m kind of interested.

SEAN: There’s also more Battle Angel Alita with the 7th volume of Mars Chronicle. And we get L*DK 16, the 14th and final volume of The Quintessential Quintuplets, Rent-a-Girlfriend 7, Sue and Tai-chan 3, To Your Eternity 14, and The Witch and the Beast 6.

ASH: To Your Eternity has my attention. (And probably the attention of even more people now that there’s an anime adaptation.)

MELINDA: Oh, hm. I may have to check it out.

SEAN: Digitally we get Saving Sweets for After-Hours (Sweets wa Teiji no Ato de). It’s from Kodansha’s Palcy, and stars a tall beauty who nevertheless has no romance in her life as men seem to want her to dominate them. Her fortunes change, however, when she meets a co-worker with a secret. This may appeal to Sweat and Soap fans.

Other E-Books: Blue Lock 5, Boss Wife 2, Cells at Work: Platelets! 3, the 4th and final volume of The Honey-blood Beauty & Her Vampire, I Guess I Became the Mother of the Great Demon King’s 10 Children in Another World 4, Kakafukaka 12 (also a final volume), Ran the Peerless Beauty 9, Undead Girl Murder Farce 2, We’re New at This 8, and Will It Be the World or Her? 7.

MICHELLE: I still need to get going on Blue Lock, but huzzah for more Ran the Peerless Beauty!

SEAN: One Peace has The New Gate 6.

Seven Seas has two debuts. The Dangers in My Heart (Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu) is an award-winning manga from Akita Shoten’s Manga Cross about the romance between a boy who pretends to be an edgy sociopath and the school beauty, who he longs for and who turns out to be a bit strange herself.

ASH: I am intrigued.

ANNA: Sounds like it might have potential.

MELINDA: Hm.

SEAN: The other debut is She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man (Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja), based on the light novel which Seven Seas has coming out in a month or so. A gamer is transported to the game world he loves… but not as the old, powerful wizard he played! He’s a cute girl instead. Can he get by pretending to be his own student?

We also get The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Jack Flash and the Faerie Case Files 3, Cutie and the Beast 3, and Otaku Elf 2.

Sol Press has Redefining the META at VRMMO Academy 4.

Tokyopop has a new BL one-shot, Chéri, My Destiny! (Cheri, Unmei no Hito!). This is from Kaiousha’s Gush, and is about a candy war that turns into passion.

Viz has two debuts. The first is a Jump series, so it’s odd to see it this late in the month. MASHLE: Magic & Muscles is about a world where everyone can use magic… except our hero. So he decides to bulk up instead. This has gotten pretty popular.

The other debut is long-awaited. No. 5, a Taiyo Matsumoto title from 2001 that ran in Shogakukan’s Ikki. Viz was putting it out at the time on their Ikki website, but when the various Ikki series didn’t sell great the site kinda floundered, and this was dropped. It’s back now, in Viz Signature edition. As for the plot, well, it’s Matsumoto doing After The Apocalypse.

ASH: I am so excited to see this being released! I’ve held onto my copies of the two volumes that previously made it into print but won’t hesitate to double-dip.

ANNA: Nice.

MELINDA: Oh!

SEAN: We also get BEASTARS 13, Children of the Whales 17, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku 9, and RWBY: Official Manga Anthology 5.

Yen On has High School DxD 4, the 5th and final volume of Last Round Arthurs, So I’m a Spider, So What? 12, and Unnamed Memory 3.

Yen Press’ debut is The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me (Watashi Igai Jinrui Zenin Yuri), a Kadokawa title from Shonen Ace about a “normal” girl who suddenly finds herself in a world where there are only women. Can she find her way back to her own world? And what is “normal” anyway? This is complete in one omnibus.

Yen Press also has Solo Leveling 2.

ASH: I’ve heard good things about Solo Leveling, I should maybe check it out before I get too far behind.

SEAN: Chunky week. Anything appealing?

MICHELLE: I’m too inundated with everything I’m far behind on to find anything that appealing, to be honest!

ANNA: Me too!!
