The turbo and the luck

There's been a lot of speculation about this theory in the fandom, but after the latest episode, I think we're closer than ever to official confirmation—pending a specific panel from the manga to corroborate it.

I'm specifically referring to the fact that the turbo has passive powers that bring good luck to those around her. This might sound pretty crazy if you're unfamiliar with this theory, but the truth is, there are countless instances where this theory seems to hold true, both in the manga and the anime.

Episode 2.

First of all, let's get some background. Turbo's cat form appears in chapter 5 of the anime and chapter 11 of the manga. When Seiko asks Momo to find a doll in the house, Momo grabs a Maneki-neko from the entrance to the house. It can be clearly seen throughout episode 2. Although it can be easily overlooked, it's a lucky charm in the home of a renowned medium. One who grants power to objects through words. It could have been a simple trinket, but things evolve as the chapters go on.

Chapter 14.

After this, we have no further indication that turbo grants good luck until the acrobatics arc. This fact is more clearly mentioned in chapter 14 of the manga and chapter 6 of the anime. How coincidences prevail around her to her advantage.

Although this isn't mentioned again in the manga, or at least I don't remember any moment where it's clearly mentioned. There are countless times when Turbo stays with the boys just to bring them good luck.

Chapter 48.

For me, the clearest moments occur during the cursed house arc, when Okarun gets stuck in the mud rescuing Turbo, and despite everything, they manage to survive.

Chapter 61.

The second key moment would be during the cursed eye arc. When Turbo remains attached to Okarun throughout the fight. A fight he wins by dialectics, not by force, because Okarun was clearly at a disadvantage.

Chapter 163.

And finally, in the Danmara arc, when the cursed basket begins to disintegrate, leaving only Turbo and Momo in it. Not only is their place the last to be destroyed, but they both make it out alive.

Surely there are others, but these are the ones that came to mind right now. But let's get back to the anime. What does the new episode add to this theory that solidifies it as canon? During this episode, her powers are clearly mentioned twice.

The first is when the Kito are harassing Momo and the hot springs, and they collapse. At that precise moment, it's revealed that the turbo has snuck into Momo's things and that she was enjoying a bath. It also mentions luck again.

The second is during the fight in the house where one of the Kitos tries to make a pass at Momo again. Turbo yells at him, and he trips over a bottle, leaving him incapacitated.

Another time we can talk about how Turbo is incredibly tsundere and how she's particularly concerned about protecting women from sexual harassment and assault.

I am forever always gonna remember how when I first played ultrakill I kept thinking the enemies were my friends

Like when u first see the swordsmachine in separate hallways and it's clearing out enemies just like u are and ur fighting next to it separated by only a wall, and u see it's destruction and u mistake it for helping you. You think it's clearing out foes for u so u have an easier time getting to ur destination, wherever that might be. U think it's an ally because it's mechanical like u are and it's killing demons like u are so surely u can team up with it, right?

And then u see v2 and u think, you're just like me, you're here too. And it bows to you and for the seconds before the fight you think that it would offer u guidance or companionship.

It's kinda skewed my characterization of V1 because in my mind it sees everything as an ally first, it doesn't attack until it is attacked. It acts only in defense. The fact that u can spare the ferryman reinforced this, but.

Idk I think it's a special little quirk of my playthrough that's colored V1 differently. My idiot brain kept seeing foes and thinking "surely you'll help me, surely you're an npc to guide me," And I was wrong every time.

Tldr: In my mind v1 desperately wants a buddy and will get itself disadvantaged in a fight trying to scope out an.ally

Miya's heterosexuality is blindingly funny to me. He's straight, straight as any of you

Okay I want to say, I LOVED this gimmick. It was cute and fun, gave everyone some more resources to prep with and (for the most part) didn't have too deadly of consequences (from the povs I've seen). The most interesting part, however, was just what questions the ccs did and did not know.

I was justing thinking about this the other day, ironically. I think a lot of people assume the ccs remember a lot more of the series than they do simply because they lived through it, but I think the fans in general are more aware of things because we tend to rewatch seasons. And that was proven correct today. Most ccs play through a series and forget most of the details right afterward.

really thinking about how Dick pulled off his acting abilities to their 110% to fake being different lovers for kory for the sake of maintaining his secret identity and relationship with her, like its hilarious, do you think kory have a picture book of all her lovers (dick) and showed them to his sibs and they use it as ammo lmao

what’s with all these villains calling jamie stupid— like what did he do to you??

he’s about to beat your ass, but that’s neither here nor there

[akkpipitphattana]

can i make a very real comment as an actor. first forgetting a line while also remembering lines from years ago actually could have nothing to do with Khaotung Giggles. like dgmw, v cute moment! he was getting goosebumps that i can’t deny but like. sometimes it is easier to remember lines from years ago than the lines you just recently learned, thats just a classic actor’s fumble

severance finale turned into an innie vs outie fight when the real enemy is and always will be lumon. how did this even happen.

[beeapocalypse]

returning to an ancient payday guy idea. circus lion mask. cheery veneer over a lifetime of familial abuse + exploitation that ended in extreme violence

Did you guys like that Jake Lee vs Yuki Yoshioka match

Look I know everyone on Fox News are assholes but I CANNOT get over one of the last clips I happened to overhear a bit ago about trans women getting into- get this- boxing. The sport where matches are generally decided by weight class. So regardless of background the opponents are working with the same amount of weight. And, of course, the object is to beat each other up faster

"Just wait until someone gets hurt", I don't know which of those dumb jokers said it but it's been driving me up a wall. Imagine having that poor of an argument you say - about boxing- just wait until someone gets hurt, then you'll be sorry.

Oh yes, god forbid anyone ever gets hurt while boxing, a notoriously safe pass time that never results in injury 👂🤡

help girl why did i leave off my file standing on the edge of a cliff in the middle of nowhere

Hey if u gonna reblog splatfest posts from me and be toxic in the comments/tags pls just reblog them from source or something. I literally think it's so stupid to even jokingly be toxic at this point, especially in this case bc Shiver fans are straight up being told they're racist and being sent gore.
