Rambling a bit about Photosfere **minor spoilers

I'm rereading dai dark atm - So the divisions Viper and Theta were working in were actually mentioned, i didnt notice before (mostly Viper's - also didnt care much tbh...).

Viper: Weapon Development Room / or Arms Development Laboratory as per VIZ (VIZ sounds cooler tbh)

Theta: Zora/Zolar Research Division of the Ritual Room

So the structure is made up of different 'rooms' (i.e Weapon Dev, research) which then have different 'divisions' - Zora being one of them. Now I wonder what else 'Ritual' would involve. Zora research division is frowned upon apparently, which I wonder if it's because the Lighthead Order/Cult was very invested in that. Could imagine the corporation trying to diverse itself from the activities of its cult as a means of hiding bad press/hiding its cultish past, lol, and this would naturally mean that any interest in Zora would be frowned upon.

I can also imagine the corporation being more interesting in expanding and gaining more influence and money(?), so that took precedent over anything 'cult-ish'. Photosfere does act afterall very much like your typical corporation.

THat being said, given they do have a whole Zora divisions and they were still on Sanko's tracks, i have no doubt they were still very much interested in Zora, it was just viewed as 'lesser than' due to the reasons above perhaps.

But let me just say this --

How is Zora research being 'frowned upon' but you got one of your 'genius scientists' that you are 'proud of' working on it???? Theta get on Linkedin and find a better job bae

But alas, they now got Sanko's bone, so things have changed lol.

Honestly, thank god Viper and Theta came to the story cause frankly the Photosfere and the Lighthead Order were so bland to me - i never really paid attention to them as i read through the story. But now that we got some actual characters i feel a bit more inclined to pay attention;will probably go back to earlier volumes and take a better look at some point (could change my above opinions as well).

Anyways, Viper is focused apparently making weapons it seems which is kinda cool; He is so icky but I like him, he looks very interesting and want to see more of him, plus his dynamic with Damemaru is very promising.

I also like that i know this now because it makes me realise Viper probably worked close with Damemaru on making weapons and things like that which is really cool - Now i just need to see MORE of Damemaru's actual creationssss (we havent seen Damemaru fight much tbh which i rl crave for)

Also, in the VIZ translation (i got the physical copies so I am more familiar with that), Viper's and Theta's roles are translated to as 'Director' and 'General Manager', which feels very grande shshs. Photosfere is definitely corporate vibes (giving me the chills)(the bad ones) ; you can tell they're v serious about their titles and structures

Anyways, their whole trigger towards the LightHead Order is kinda funny ngl
