wait.

reiji????????????????????

[callmeklair]

I was absent during your argue about Ayato and oh girl I hope you are fine with all those hate messages. I can't understand why some people should impose their opinions to others. You don't have to love Ayato. Dislike and hate are very different and you never used the word hate. You always have the right to Dislike a character.

see this was the thing, there was no "direct" argument to begin with, all I did was create a post on Ayato's overhype (which many people agreed with) also i clearly highlighted that I don't hate Ayato or anything, I'm just talking about non-sensical overhype and shade thrown at other diaboys to make Ayato look perfect but dayum that person assumed I'm hating on Ayato for clout lmao 💀, like they chose to misinterpret it themselves and then create a whole post on Ayato analysis with some invalid points

using fig curse to rectify Ayato's behaviour in Ruki's MB route, like, these both contents have a lot of years gap in between & that doesn't explain anything. and then shading laito for pushing ayato away .... like just as Ayato had a horrible past, laito did too? 🧍 my boy doesn't deserve to be thrown shade at like that. and Reiji literally taunts every boy including shu, just because he said something to ayato (like he does to shu), ayato was mistreated, im- 😭

dw I'm not affected by it because ik I have you people by my side and sensible people who know that we are talking about overhype, and why some ayato stans are unbearable (which they proved by misinterpreting things)

lol it's like they are allowed to talk bad about other characters but when we pull up some facts suddenly we are spreading hate, and misinformation, about Ayato "for clout"

ps: everybody is allowed to have their own opinion and dislike a character if they don't like them or are uncomfortable by them. people imposing analysis, facts and indirectly throwing shade at you because you chose to say something negative or point some imperfect thing about their "perfect" character is a no. that's straight up obsession and toxic

[bluevelvet-room]

been trying to get into persona 1, would you recommend doing sqq or sebec route first? also, which optional party members would you recommend for each route? (idrm about ingame strength im moreso looking for a strong personality/arc/relevance to the story) ^^

ok just to start off here i will say. it is 7am est and i was about to go to bed (i stayed up all night drawing maki but i'm batch posting those later) but getting this excited me so excuse me if it is rambly. in addition, i was really bad at playing persona 1 so i'm glad you're asking about arc/relevance to the story because i would NOT be able to tell you the best builds or anything

answer under the readmore:

know in my heart of hearts that i wish so hard to tell you to get yuka ayase no matter what because i stan her so hard and that is what i did in my first playthrough. however. i will not be saying that, because you asked about relevance to the story and she does not have any in SEBEC. also, she's a weak player oops

the main (canon) storyline is in SEBEC. sq is sort of just an extra thing (though still interesting), to the point that they fully did not even include it in revelations initial american release (assholes). so i would play through SEBEC first and then move on to sq

in terms of optional party members, in SEBEC you'll be offered a choice (slowly) between brown, elly, yuka, or reiji. you only have one open slot, you have to reject each one in order to go to the next one and that is the order they'll appear. reiji is the "canon" SEBEC quest member, as the others appear in sq and therefore arent as essential. also, he's relevant to the story.

unfortunately he's also a bitch to get, so i'd look up a guide before you do basically anything at all in the game if you want him. if that fails and you don't want to reload then tbh just pick ur fave from the first three (yuka is the correct choice, but once again she is pretty weak, and i like elly and brown a lot too)

as for snow queen (which i would make an extra save slot before you leave the school the second time if you dont want to play the beginning of the game again, because choosing to stay is how you activate sq) - this quest is harder than SEBEC and also way different in terms of set up, with very little relevance to the overall important events of persona 1.

this time you'll have two slots to fill, with yuka and yukino being there as required party members. you get the option between elly, brown, and nanjo. if you want to see all the characters in one playthrough (spread between SEBEC and sq) then you should pick elly and brown, because nanjo is default in SEBEC.

that's all the important technical stuff that you asked about and i would just like to say, anon, from the bottom of my heart, that i love that you asked me of all people based on my frankly incoherent ramblings about smt persona. i hope you enjoy the game!!!

(i will not blame you if you hate it. smt persona sucks so hard to play it made me want to bash my skull in multiple times but i care about it so much)

the tweet in question

finally got featured on a struggle tweets account, more specifically utapri struggle tweets lololol

[nintendhoeuwu]

I see you're a fellow Reiji stan 😈 If you haven't gotten this type of question already, what are some of your favorite things about Reiji?

I Actually have! Here’s the link! ask https://nintendhoeuwu.tumblr.com/post/631297618874695680/hi-im-so-glad-we-both-love-reiji-the-most-what

[munoart]

Playing Nier Automata and I finally beat it gave me the idea of Reiji as 9S because of him in endings C and D. Just his character breaking down and stuff, as much as it hurt was so good and gave such strong Reiji vibes to me. Im’ not the happiest with how this turned out but I don’t feel like working on it anymore, and I’m sure at least some of the other Reiji stans would enjoy it lol

[captain-jinguji]

Hi! Thx for answering my last ask! Love you so much❤️💕❤️. OMG. Now I have an idea. I picture Van speaking Spanish, because i think that he knows how to. What languages do you think the boys also can speak? We all know that Ren speaks Italian, but the OTHERS? WHAT OTHER LANGUAGES DO THEY KNOW?! now i kinda look desperate😂

OH WAIT I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS HOLD ON ~

Disclaimer: all of the boys know English. Maybe not to an extreme extent but they all know how to hold a conversation. Some know another language, others strictly know English as a second language.

STARISH + QUARTET NIGHT + HEAVENS and languages they know

STARISH

Natsuki: 🇫🇷

Him and Syo grew up in France so it's a given that they know French.

Tokiya: 🇰🇷/🇨🇳

I read somewhere that Tokiya knows Korean and a little bit of mandarin chinese :)

Cecil: 🇮🇳

Given that Cecil comes from Agnapolis, which i imagine to be somewhere around and close to India, I think he'd know Hindi.

Ren: 🇮🇹

Its confirmed Ren knows Italian.

Otoya: 🇬🇧

Poor baby has a hard time picking up another language so just English

Syo: 🇫🇷

Same as Natsuki. They grew up in France.

Masato: 🇨🇳

I read somewhere that Masato learned Mandarin Chinese due to the family business.

QUARTET NIGHT

Reiji: 🇪🇸

Somewhere it once said that Reiji learned Spanish so theres that.

Ranmaru: 🇺🇸

Only English but he can say a few phrases in other languages.

Camus: 🇮🇸/🇩🇪

I feel like Permafrost would be close to Iceland and im pretty sure he said something Icelandic before? Also German.

Ai: 🌎

Hes a robot. Pretty sure his language knowledge is universals.

HEAVENS

Eiichi: 🇩🇪/🇳🇱

Shining spoke to Raging in German once and Raging understood which makes me believe Eiichi and Eiji learned German too. Eiichi also took it upon himself to learn Dutch.

Kira: 🇨🇳

Very much like Masato.

Nagi: 🇭🇺

I feel like someone challenged him to learn Hungarian once and he did it so 🤷

Eiji: 🇩🇪

See Eiichi.

Yamato: 🇷🇺

I have a feeling this boy knows Russian just so he can curse Ryuuya out 😂😩

Van: 🇪🇸/🇵🇹

I dig your belief that Van knows Spanish but I'll add to it by saying he also knows Portuguese Spanish

Shion: 🇰🇷

He just gives me a Kpop stan vibe.

[opalianubis]

Reiji with a mullet

i cant believe theyre adding van kiryuin to shining live!

dear HEAVENS stand and especially Van stans: im SO fucking sorry i dbfofndkfnfkjd

‘Otoyarsene Lupin Chronicles of a Thief’ Event Stats (EN)

The numbers in the brackets are the event points of the bottom person in that tier. For example, the person of Rank 150 had 847,594 event points.

1 hour from ending, the numbers for the top 7 tiers were: Tier 1 - Rank 1-150 (847,594) Tier 2 - Rank 151-300 (505,409) Tier 3 - Rank 301-450  (427,856) Tier 4 - Rank 451-600 (366,041) Tier 5 - Rank 601-750 (339,871) Tier 6 - Rank 751-1500 (269,926) Tier 7 - Rank 1501-2000 (245,827)

When the event ended, the top 7 tiers were: Tier 1 - Rank 1-150 (900,401) Tier 2 - Rank 151-300 (513,997) Tier 3 - Rank 301-450 (449,656) Tier 4 - Rank 451-600 (374,671) Tier 5 - Rank 601-750 (353,300) Tier 6 - Rank 751-1500 (279,710) Tier 7 - Rank 1501-2000 (250,855)

This is onw of the lowest events in a while, and i have to say I hope that trend continues because things have been getting out fo hand lately. I can imagine it staying kind of low for at least the next two events on EN since the next is another otoya set list event, followed by (im assuming) tokiya’s revival event. Tokiyas events have proved to be hectic in the past, but since its set list, and a revival it might be low? 

This event had 13,804 players. Less than last time but still okay. I wonder if the trend of revival events being slightly less competetive will continue, or if it was just low this time because people werent prepared.

Factors that may have effected this event:

During finals/enf of semester in many countries

People weren’t prepared for revival events

only a one day break between events

We knew there had to be an otoya event coming up in the next two events as well as this one, so its likely they were saving resources

Another otoya event was announced to begind the day after this event.

The top 3 player’s points were:

2,220,405

1,622,070

1,261,474

All I can say is: good luck for the next event yall. I hope Otoya stans have enough resources left. *Remember that event rewards can take up to 24 hours to arrive, but usually do within the first few. Don’t worry if it takes a bit longer.

Thoughts on 3rd Rokkaku (Cast & Songs)

Thoughts on Rokkaku 3rd

Since Rikkai has started, and of course a new Rokkkaku song is there, I thought now would be the best time to write my opinion on the DVD from Rokkaku. I have not watched it live, so this rant may be a bit lacking, but I'll try my best anyways. Please note that everything under the cut is only my opinion and definitely not representative for everyone and may contain errors.

More under the cut

Overall Wow, this is a really cute team! It seems that they kept the fresh and lively behaviour of Rokkaku, but in comparison with 2nd, they're a bit toned down, and compared with 1st they're a lot more fresh so I'd say it's a mix between both. Since this group has a lot of age differences, it's a bit harder to see their "cameraderie", but they did a good job and I feel like they will definitely grow as a team.

They’re a silly team

Yashiro Takuya - Aoi Kentarou Okay. This Aoi is definitely my most favorite Aoi (until now). The thing I immediately felt from him was his maturity, especially in the case of a character like Aoi, who practically exists to be cute and hyper. If not for his seniors, I would definitely have thought that he was the most professional actor in Rokkaku. He's well rehearsed, as is apparent in his speeches that tend to be very scripted and don't make a lot of place for emotions and crying, despite being one of the youngest members. Even in comparison with Miura, I believe he was a very good captain in correlation with his age. Of course he has his natural cuteness going for him, which is a 10 (sorry dude that you have to shave your hair), when I first saw the casting I was really dying because of his cute face. 

When someone slips into your shot but somehow it isn’t Saeki or Ryou.

Things I especially liked about him were the moments after his playstyle was revealed. Not only his movements, but also his expressions and general feeling changed into something a lot more dynamic and terrifying, much like in the BaneDavi match. That said, he does an amazing switch between his three personas, the professional off stage, the "I want to be popular" on stage and the "I will definitely beat you" in his match.

Arguably not the best picture

Futaba Kaname - Saeki Kojirou Saeki is by far my least favorite member of Rokkaku, because I usually view him as a enrichened white slice of bread. When I first saw the casting visual of Saeki, I did not have a lot of expections, and I was not in the mood to stalk Kaname's twitter a lot. Now that I've watched the musical, I have only one thing to say. Wow, this dude is handsome. Is it shallow? Perhaps. He has a big mouth, which makes for weird singing faces. But when he doesn't he manages to look handsome 99% of the time, and his smile really helps with that. Uh I should return to gushing about personality right. Saeki is a whimiscal, perfect, and oblivious character that tends to annoy the shit out of me. Futaba nailed that part absolutely. Things that come to mind are the adlibs: "No, I'm not popular at all" upon which Kenchan calls him out like the big fat liar he is. Same for the "Am I not a god?". He totally knows it. 

So, you wanna fuckin go Fuji?

A different part that Futaba portrayed extremely well, probably a part of his own personality was his "coolness". He practically screamed "Kakkoii" and sometimes it felt like he needed no effort at all. He's probably the heartthrob of many new enrolled Rokkaku 3rd fans lmao. My favorite part of Saeki was when he got slapped by Ryou. All in all, Kaname was very Saeki, a lot more oblivious than 2nd and really cool.

How uselessly handsome

Hinata Kento - Kurobane Harukaze MUSCLE MAN. Bane was always a big bro in my eyes, emphasis on bro, but after Rokkaku 3rd I feel like it has changed to big. When casting was revealed, I remarked that his face was really cool, but when I stalked him on instagram and came to know that he was super duper ripped as well, I knew this was the Bane in my heart. Mossan is still my pedestal Bane, and it hasn't changed, but I heartily accept this Bane. Kento made good use of Bane's speech style, had a lot of very little interactions that made his character come alive and was good at the "DAVIDE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU". 

He was especially good at these faces

A minor point was that he didn't nearly laugh as much, since he was too busy with his Tsukkomi. From his twitter, he has a really huge smile, but in play itself, it seemed like it got pushed away, so I missed his bro. Moments I appreciated of him were for example mouthing the whole song of Onna no kara chuu, needing Davide's retribution slap and being some sort of mentor senior thing to the same aged Shudo. ShudoBane friendship lived in this one, and the same happened with Ryou, so that part was very appreciated.

This is what the BaneDavi dynamic felt like.

Shinnosuke Takagi -  Itsuki Marehiko Not a lot can be said of him, because with Icchan being my favorite character, he has absolutely 0 screentime, which makes for a hard time trying to know what the heck he's doing really. As usual, they left out the part where they mention that Icchan is a sensitive (clam gatherer) player, which quite adds to his character, but it seemed they casted on looks and not on noseness (can't blame them). Each generation of Icchans seems to get a lot cuter as well, which I really don't mind. Now, as to what I think about Shinnosuke, it's probably that he really looks like a nice person. I really can't exaggerate and be like OMG HE'S SUCH A CUTE MINI BUCHOU, he's super handsome and cool wtf, WHAT A BRO THE MUSCLES AAH... Nope I can only think of how nice he looks, or quoting a fellow Rokkaku fan: "He is shaped like a friend." And he is, I would definitely want to be friends with him. He looks like a total mom as well.

Yes, position for mom is still open

Moments I liked about him were in the senshuuraku, with the adlibs, when Bane and co go to kidnap Saeki in order to kill him, he crouched down in his fetus position, which I though was a really nice touch, since it's kind of the trait how I fell in love with him (and subsequently became a Rokkaku stan OKAY I KNOW A BOY CRYING UNDER A PIER IS NOT THE BEST PROPAGANDA BUT IM WEAK). Another part is when Davide slaps Bane, and Bane slaps Shudo. His concerned face is really adorable and Icchan like.

With Saeki, he just makes fun of him

Sakagaki Reiji - Amane Hikaru Oof this is my struggling point. Again, I'll admit that my first impressions of him were..biased. That's to say, he looked like a fish. After stalking even more media, I was really convinced that they chose the worst face. He looked dead in all kind of media, and he didn't know how to shave probably, which was not really bothering me but it made for quite an enigmatic figure. When the cringy introduction videos were released, it was then that I accepted him, as he had a very Davide feeling in his puns. So in the looks department, he was definitely not lacking when it came to the stageplay itself. Holycow he was so cool and uh, mature in the more adult way? He definitely got a shot of Shiraishi I think lol. He was the objective best one in singing and dancing I believe, (SHAKE THOSE HIPS) and had a really cool feeling. He lacked a bit in the acting department (all his shit eating grins come to mind), but he was a very good choice for a musical that is usually populated with inexperienced actors. 

Rennaisance worthy On what his Davide was, wow Davide you're such a shit. It felt like he changed the "dependent" Davide to the "brat" Davide. It felt a bit more off, since I was really used to the sweet cat that 2nd was, and not the shit cat 3rd, but in the end, I'm really weak to assholes, so I kinda liked his interpretation. All in all, I prefer the characterization of 2nd, while also appreciating how shitty 3rd was. I have no particular favorite moment of him, perhaps I would say the "Sumash ni Shimasu", line he had in his match. Somehow he looked really really cool there.

A super cool Mizuki twirl

Sato Yugo - Kisarazu Ryou Ah, this Kisarazu wasn't nearly as vain as fancy as I wished for him to be, simply because Yugo seems too sweet for me.  Yugo was pretty much my fav actor from pre-Rokkaku (cause again, I'm weak to tears) and I was looking forward to tears in Rokkaku, but it seems like he has hardened into a veteran Tenimyu. In comparison with 2nd, he missed a little bit of the outgoing bitch personality and instead became the more canon introvert bitch.

Protecting your hair is your first defensive mechanism?

What can I say about Yugo, except him being buff but still pretty enough to pull of the horrible wig. He definitely makes Ryou a lot more capable, with his breakdancing and all which adds a cute touch. I feel like he did a very good job at portraying the somewhat more, petty side of Ryou. Moments that come to mind are like when Saeki entrusts his jersey to Ryou, upon which Ryou gracefully accepts it, folds it and then sweeps it off the bench to the ground or pushes it to Shudo. Also the Saeki slap. That's still such a beautiful moment.

Dumping your responsibilities on the team pet

Chiba Kota Shudo Satoshi Would it be hypocritical to say that this guy is my fav actor now despite having the least to say about him? He's horribly cute, has a really nice face and looks like a really nice guy. The thing I was suprised by was his voice. It doesn't seem to fit his face at all, but it's so lively and has a raspy cuteness to it. That said, while I thought that he would be a lot more calm and cute offstage, it seems that he really keeps the Shudo persona in both places. While I characterized Shudo as a brave, somewhat more stoïc individual that happened to make stupid choices, they really decided to exaggerate his character in a very pleasant way, which translated to YOLO AHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS DRINK non preservation mode Shudo. My second OTP after Saegoku is ShudoRyou, and while I don't really want to relate this to the actors, ShudoRyou lived during the stage.

Adorable...

Especially the adlib with Satoshi-kun and Ryou-chan was everything I needed to establish a beautiful scenario in my mind. Another moment was Shudo jumping on the bench and pushing of Kisarazu, after which gets Shudo of the bench again. The Inui adlibs could get a bit repetitive, but it's okay, seeing Shudo roll off screen multiple times makes anyone's day brighter. I love Shudo. Protect him from himself.

He has a really precious  :<> expression

Songs

Nice People Good People You know, the name of the song already killed me. And I will be honest, the first thing I thought when I watched this song was how horrible it was compared to the other super cool songs the other schools got. However, after 500 repeats, I grew to like it as the best most ultimate good song that tenimyu could deliver. It seems like Rokkaku now has a theme that focusses on geometry lol? Everything about it was really cute, though I have to admit that the singing felt more like shouting in a melodious way to me. Bane and Amane didn't stand out, they were more like shouting all the time, but it was the first time I could see how captivating Reiji was as Davide. Icchan looked like a happy man, and Saeki was needlessly cool of course. I really liked the choreography they did between BaneDavi and SaeIcchan's singing parts, the circling while turning on the beat was somehow really cute... Aoi looked a bit constipated, but that's what usually happens when you always close your eyes and have a relatively big mouth. After all, Kisarazu's performance was the first one that didn't immediately sounded like shouting to me and his experience was really apparent. Shudo was shouty, but his happy face when Kisarazu is singing and he is pointing his racket around was really adorable. A Rokkaku worthy song, not enough wiggle, but a very fun choreography, needs more geometry.

Highlight

Shabadada Adult. I never imagined i would like Shabadaba as much as I absolutely loved Scatto scat, but BaneDavi blew me away, partly due to how amazing Davide was in that one. His dancing was perfect, and it was at that moment that I accepted that Sakagaki would definitely be the Davide closest to the actual David statue. Again, shake those hips and shoulders. I'm glad they decided to put in a shoulder pump Bane line,cause thats what Bane's all about. Bane unfortunately didn't get a lot of solo singing time, and when he did, he was shouting his way through so that was a minor point, but his arm muscles and beautiful exaggerated expressions made up for it. All in all, Sakagaki is really really handsome.

Why is this here? Someone explain

Acrobatic and genius Futaba unfortunatly didn't have the smooth voice 2nd had, which he made up for with sheer power. He ended his lines very breathy, something I definitely didn't expect since his music videos (okay I stalked his media a little) had him with a very light voice, that he somehow exchanged in the musical for a deep voice.I think he still can improve a lot on it, if he somehow managed to get rid of the unecessary vocal inflexions (lol no idea what im talking about). The song was a great example of how uselessly handsome Saeki is, really a big but handsome  showoff. Shinchan did pretty as well despite falling short of breath a lot of times. I could imagine his voice as being a bit nasally though, so it was all fine.

Saeki, stop overcompensating, Icchan , your collar is adorable

Onna no kara chuu By far my favorite new song that Rokkaku got, MINI BUCHOU IS THE CUTEST. Not only did Takuya really surprise me with his vocal evenness (I expected nothing since his voice sounded like Horio to me at first) he also seems to have a natural happy and cheery feeling to him in the song, which couldn't really be said for other Aoi's. The song also got a lot more cooler, this time also adressing the pressure playstyle a bit more. 

BaneDavi cheering on mini Buchou from the stands, I believe Saeki would have liked that place too

The second part is the benchwork. Ranging from Ryou benig fussy about his hair when Kenchan sings about women, to Icchan's preliminary kisses and Shudo having this enourmous MWAH kiss. Speaking about kisses, it seems like Saeki, Bane and Amane put more focus on the "cool" airkisses and Ryou on the direct kiss, but uh that's definitely not what this song is about right. Other cute parts include Kento mouthing parts of the songs, Yugo doing a really agressive hagu hagu, but like very agressive, Davide accidentally falling of the stand during the chorus and Bane repriminding him a little bit (Reiji really makes a lot of mistakes huh). The choreography was a mix between chicken dance and some japanese girlish idol band, which I absolutely don't mind. Yes, give me more super adorable buchou songs. One day I want to compare all the buchou solo songs, ranging from Tachibana's impressive Kejime, Tezuka's powerful stoic songs, really fancy Atobe songs, Gangsta mafiosa Kite, Shiraishi's ecstasy and Yukimura's god songs VS mini buchou who wants to kiss a girl. Best buchou.

Various expression of chuus

Conclusion I love Rokkaku 3rd. I'm really looking forward to their party song in Rikkai (apparently Saeki rocks his solo) and more adlibs. There is so much more to say, but I'm afraid I've gone on too long.

Thanks for withstanding this mini essay!!
