#this is why nobdoy else ships this

[bluebeirry]

Dr Xeno is either a sociopath or an idiot

And by ‘idiot’ I mean either really dumb socially, or he’s so arrogant it leads to stupid mistakes

Let’s start with the idiot assumption:

Xeno made the same mistakes Ibara did- he thought that killing his immediate enemy would overcome the threat at hand. Only Ibara didn’t have scientist training, which includes looking for the sources and causes of phenomena. Xeno does.

See, we the readers know that Senku is the best mind the KoS has and that there isn’t enough manpower in Japan to send more than one ship out. But does Ibara? Does Xeno? Isn’t it more logical for the best and brightest to STAY HOME while the apprentices go risking their lives?

Both assume that what they see is what they get. And they happen to be right, but they have absolutely no way to KNOW that in the story itself. They assume that once they’ve dealt with this ship, nobody else from wherever that ship came from will show up looking for them. That they can handle any backup or rescue team sent after the Perseus. Xeno even knows that the Perseus has ways to de-petrify people; he should realize that there could be hundreds if not thousands of de-petrified people in Japan, and he has no way of knowing. Plus, a ship that size would’ve needed a lot of work to make it- Xeno should’ve asked questions about the logistics of making it. Should’ve realized that the ship would’ve required a large workforce to make- a workforce that needs to eat, plus additional food has to be grown for preservatives to eat while making the journey from Japan to America.

Xeno should have realized that there’s a stable population in Japan. He waited to see what THIS ship had for weapons, but he should be more concerned with what Japan has for weapons, or can build for weapons. After all, if this ship doesn’t return, for all he knows Japan could send another one looking for them- and Japan could have more scientists working constantly, so the next ship could have cannons or guns of their own. He could be starting a war with a force with much greater numbers that they can increase without limit, he doesn’t know for sure that they have only one genius, and they could surpass him at any time. It’s not the smart thing to do- unless you’re so arrogant you assume NOBDOY could be a real threat to you.

More than that, Xeno should’ve asked one big question- why the fuck is this group going to America. Now, from spying he could’ve figured out that they want corn, and he’d know of its various uses. But if any group is trying to  rebuild society, isn’t it easiest to start with the resources you have at home? And again, they needed supplies and a support network to build the ship, so there HAS to be some society in Japan.

Like- shooting first and asking questions later doesn’t get you good answers. And Xeno knows they have the revival formula (or at least some method of revival), so if he wants that you’d think he’d try to KEEP the enemy scientist alive, so he can be interrogated for the formula. There is no guarantee that the ship would have instructions or notes that Xeno could use to recreate the formula.

For something more valuable than gold in this world, you’d think Xeno would take every precaution to ensure he could get his hands on it. Killing the one and only known source that’s guaranteed to have that information is pretty damn stupid. He could be arrogant enough to assume that he’ll be able to work it out with whatever supplies are on the ship, but again, I consider that arrogance taken to the point of stupidity.

Also, polygraph tests do not work. Like Gen doesn’t have to be “the world’s greatest liar” to fool it. Xeno relying on it shows either that he doesn’t care for Gen’s testimony at all, or that he’s a dumbs for using it.

The Sociopath option:

See, Xeno’s actions make more sense if he has a specific goal in mind: Complete control over the human population. Because there’s two things he’d need for that:

1. Either complete control or complete destruction of the revival fluid

2. To destroy the human settlement in Japan

The Japanese rebuilt society would obviously not be reliant upon Xeno for survival. They can’t be controlled, so we’ll kill em all- and killing the Perseus crew is just the start of that.

But control over the revival fluid is also a neutral goal if you want to control humanity itself. So long as you have A method of reviving people, you can control your numbers still get replacements for the dead, even if slowly.

If anything, using the slow and unreliable method of nitric acid works better for keeping control, because every single new person is woken up to a world already under Xeno’s thumb, and should somebody try to flee they too will have a harder, slower time building their forces. So the revival fluid is best kept a secret from his forces and used sparingly, so that anyone trying to betray him can’t use it to build their forces rapidly and take him down.

So if getting the revival fluid isn’t critical, then you can afford to kill the only known source guaranteed to have that information.

All this though requires Xeno to put his own power above all else.

lool...STELLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~! 1-26 BECAUSE I'M AWFUUUUUUL~! Also, 27, which I've decided will be "what do you think of the Kebiishi?" [[you can take your time answering this ofc.]]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯Man, you have no chill Nima .-. but fine, we’ll do it your way. This gonna get long obviously, so under the cut so other ppl won’t have to scroll through my shit xD #7 was a mistake

1. What is your name and which server is your citadel on?

Stella in the Higo Province~ Pretty sure I just randomly picked a server at the start lulz

2. When did you start serving as a Saniwa? Please display your battle records.

September 28, 2017 8D Here, look at my shame lol 

3. Which starter sword did you pick? What is he doing now?

Yamanbagiri Kunihiro! I liked him a lot from what little screen time he had in Katsugeki and then what I saw of him in Hanamaru (+ dat Maeno voice is A++) so I went with him C: He’s a proud member of Unit 1 (tho those members get rotated around so they’re around the same levels) and helps me beat up the enemy ^^

4. Who is the first among your swords to reach the maximum level? What do you think of him.

No one has reached the max level yet LOL Hotarumaru will probably be the first one? Since he always gets MVP x’D fajkfsjdf I love him so much?? He’s so smol and precious?? MY SON! I can always count on him to take out the enemy for me without taking much damage and he’s just the most adorable thing?? I love him

5. Who do you have in each of your squads, and how do you use them? If you haven’t unlocked all four teams yet, briefly describe how you plan to organize them.

Got all four unlocked and uh, I just put in swords around the same level so I can train them up. Unit 1 is usually my strongest swords/main team (Yamanbagiri, Ichigo, Hotarumaru, Izuminokami, Hasebe, and Namazuo), while the other units are whoever I’m training up and use them for expeditions sometimes.

6. Without considering the performance of the swords, which type of sword do you prefer?

Tantou Tachi! Idk when it started but I just really like swords?? I see a character in a game/anime with a sword -> “I like that guy, he’s cool!” And I guess the swords typically used are tachis?? I actually have wanted to buy a sword lol, every year at the night market there’s a stand selling prop swords (like for cosplay and stuff) and I always joke about buying one but $$$ feelsbadman 

7. List the swords that you like and your thoughts on them.

I have a list here LOL No thoughts there tho :you should know all this, Nima

Yagen: My man, the bae, my everything. I love him the most （*’∀’人）♥ I love how caring he is towards his brothers and takes care of them when Ichigo isn’t there. It was so touching seeing him trying his best to summon Ichi-nii for his smol bros and I just jakfsjkf I cri every time. As serious as he can get sometimes, it’s also super cute seeing him playing with his brothers and messing around(?) sometimes, like in that beach episode

Ichigo: The husband because how can you not （〃・ω・〃）Putting aside the fact that he is beautiful and handsome and -swoon-  His laugh is precious?? I also love how caring he is and worries about his smol bros and takes care of them. Best onii-chan. He seems so gentle and kind. I find it super precious how it seems like he gets jealous over all the swords you have it’s k bby you’ll always be special to me  and -dreamy sigh- I love him?

Namazuo: I love his personality! φ(ﾟ ωﾟ//）♡ His cheerfulness and outgoing attitude is so precious and always makes me super happy in return. I love hearing his voice and I would want to be bffs with him. His quirk of throwing horse poop at people is so wtf but at the same time, it’s cute?? Even after kiwame, I still love him (tho I prefer his low ponytail than his high one o v o ). His tickle wars with the saniwa are really cute~ His genki attitude is like a breath of fresh air tbh and I love him. Please let me love you

Kashuu: I kinda wished I picked him as my starter because omfg, he is so precious and I want to smother him with my love, especially after watching Hanamaru. He has his own baggage and problems to deal with but instead of drowning in them, he still tries his best to help out Yamatonokami in Hanamaru, and fulfill the saniwa’s orders. He doesn’t let his insecurities get the better of him and I just jfkalsjdfkf ‘cause tbh I feel him? I’m scared of dying but I’m more scared of being abandoned and having no one?? So even if Kashuu is quick to latch onto a new master, I wouldn’t blame him at all and just give him all my love (((( ;°Д°)))) I want him to know he’s special and that I’d never abandon him ever

8. Are there any pairings that you like? If there is, please list them.

Nope~ I read a few Ichigo/Tsurumaru oneshots that were kinda cute but eh, I’m not really into shipping for TKRB.

9. Is your Citadel an employee-friendly Citadel or a black-hearted Citadel that works your swords to the bones?

I like to think it’s pretty employee-friendly ^^;; If they’re fatigued, I take them off the team and let them rest, or if most of the team is fatigued, then I let them chill. If they’re missing HP then I stick them in repairs (if I have a vacant room OTL) unless it’s just like, 1-2HP then I wait until after one more battle. Always quick to use help tokens though ‘cause I don’t want to wait 10hours LOL

10. Have you ever done anything weird to your swords?

Nooooo?? I can’t think of anything? Though I guess, with the current event (VoT6) Namazuo keeps getting owned and having to retreat so I guess the smart thing would be to put someone else on the team instead of him but I’m just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ since the damage isn’t permanent and keep on trucking since the exp is still pretty good. That’s not really weird and more of me being a bad Saniwa towards him tho?? lol orz

11. Have you ever broken a sword? What happened, and who did you break?

NOPE NOBDOY and hopefully it’ll stay like that ; u ; Man, I’d probably cry if someone broke ‘cause their lines are all so sad, especially my precious tantous ;o;

12. Who looses troops the most in your Citadel? And who is the most skilled at making troops?

Yamatonokami and Nikkari, for whatever reason :

13. Have you ever done something with all your might in order to get a particular sword? Please describe what you did and the results.

I pray to RNGesus and hope for the best?? xD What else can you do besides use an ofuda? Maybe I’ll try what I do in SIF next time and repeatedly click on the attendant lol

14. Are you superstitious? (wwww)

Sure? What is this question referring to o u o

15. What made you join the TKRB fandom in the beginning? How about now?

Hot guys LMAO K well, that’s what made me want to get into the game/fandom but all that stuff about needing a proxy/VPN looked too complicated for my dumb ass so I didn’t bother. But uh, I guess I first became aware of it because of cosplayers somehow?? Like I’d see super pretty pics of cosplayers and somehow knew it was from TKRB but that was it. Then the Hanamaru anime came out and I decided to watch it a few seasons afterwards, but there were too many characters and I kinda got bored? So I dropped it after three episodes =3= Then Katsugeki happened and my sis watched it first and spazzed to me how hot Izuminokami is (esp dat Ryohei Kimura voice) and I picked it up 6epis in? That’s it, I’m sold. I’m a goner. Then when the anime ended, I was super thirsty for more swordbois and spent like two hours fighting Flash trying to get the game to work, and here we are now C: I’m still in it for the hot guys LMAO c’mon now. 

16. What do you think of the current maps? Which map is good for training/grinding, which maps do you get lost in the most, which map do you want to burn?

Can I just fight all of World 7? Tho it’s probably my fault for my swords not being level90+ or something but e-e I’m getting destroyed so yeah, that just feelsbadman :

17. Are there any game systems or improvements that you hope DMM will implement?

Eh, probably but nothing comes to mind right now. Haven’t been playing this game for that long and everything seems fine to me~ 

18. If DMM cooperates on an event with another game/anime/etc., what would you like to see?

LOVE LIVE or any other idol show (Tsukipro/UtaPri~) ‘cause the bois as idols is just (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ I’m going to scream and then die happily. Like, AWT48 was super adorable and the guys singing the EDs in Hanamaru was super cute too?? So why not take it a step further and just have them be idols : PP

Also, any sports anime will be great too! Obviously, I’m partial to Haikyuu rn xD We had a beach episode, sooo, beach volleyball could totally work!! 

But like, if it’s asking about stuff like that GBFxKatsugeki thing then uh, no answer because the only games I play are rhythm games LOL But, it would be cool if there was a FEH collab? o:

19. Have you ever spent money playing TKRB? Is so, how much? If not, do you plan to?

Not yet, but I probably will xD I want the other repair room and I definitely will need more space for swords. There are still a lot that I don’t have and with more new swords, I def need the space x3 better spending money on this than on gacha and disappointment lol

20. Is there any merchandise that you would like to buy or see?

Namazuo and Honebami nendoroid please! I know Namazuo has a figure but I like nendos way more :I’m getting Ichigo for Christmas and I already have Yagen so, making progress 8D

21. Have you done any fanwork? If so, what?

Not yet? I want to write fanfics but I’m super lazy and dead rn so maybe at the end of the semester and I’m not drowning in matchups that I need to do LOL

22. What do you think you are like as a Saniwa?

Definitely not like how I appear in my own fantasies LOL I’m hate people bad with people and am super shy and socially awkward, so getting friendly with the swords will take 5ever and uh, yeah? I’ll just be super awkward around them lmao and not know how to react and probably appear like I don’t like them or something?? While I’m internally stressing about how to befriend them and driving myself up a wall lol... 

23. If the government asked you to choose a sword to kill yourself with in terms of emergency, who would you pick?

I don’t want to make any of them do something like this ((o(;△;)o))  I don’t know… ( ≧Д≦) My first thought was Sayo but like, he doesn’t need a burden like this?? Considering how he already is, >_

24. The government has asked you to write a report: how would you describe the situation in your Citadel?

Resources are running low, smithing just results in an annoyed saniwa so take caution. The saniwa also gets angry when troops keep dying and needing to be replaced = RIP resources some more, so more caution is required. JK It’s a pretty chill place? Idk how to describe it, so I’ll prob make Hasebe do it for me : P Papers are annoying af to write omg

25. What do you think of the Retrograding Army?

I don’t understand the point of what they’re doing and how they’d benefit from changing history but given how shallow the plot is, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  It was cool seeing them in Katsugeki tho, especially the shit they did in uh, Edo? Like it seems they actually had a plan and stuff xD

26. Lastly, please say something about the TKRB from the bottom of your heart!

Idk what I’ll be doing with my life now if I hadn’t started this game and I’m completely obsessed. This might wane in the future probably, but in the meantime, I’m here to have a good time and enjoy everything TKRB has to offer and I’m loving it so far

ありがとうございます！

Bonus: What do you think of the KBC?

They don’t show up when I want them to! D
