who is your favorite girl and why?
The Hundred Line
It's a tie between Hiruka, Kurara and Kyoshika. I wanted to like Tsubasa more, but I feel like the writer's are going to play too safe with her. I completed like 60-70% of the game, so it might change. I'm on the part where I've been given pills. The Box of Blessings is by far the worst route.
Passed out from last time I posted. I’m the drunk from the last thread that enjoys seeing people discuss things and also talking about things. I also love Darumi, let’s see how things go now lol
She’s the best
'basa
puking is not moe
She seems to get a handle on it in most routes. I would’ve thought she’d puke more during the killing game considering how high stress it is compared to the others
Kyoshika because she's dumb, perverted, but has a heart of gold. -and a Dragon Ball fan.
Her being embarrassed that she pukes constantly IS moe.
Why the fuck is she already dead for the literal dragon ball collecting route?
I wonder if they'll ever release route %'s like Detroit: Become Human
Serial Battles.
My top 3
Darumi
I really started loving her because of retsnom. I've seen anons here say that other anons overhype retsnom. I don't think it's super amazing, but it did resonate with me emotionally and ultimately that's all I need. Her caring nature, her selflessness, how she hides her true self, all in all Darumi became a super charming character to me. She reminds me of my younger self. I desire to comfort her and be there for her. When she talked about how she feels no one understands her and how she herself also feels incapable of understanding others I felt that. When she becomes the retsnom she can finally understand others by absorbing them, but she has to lose herself in the process. A great tragic heroine. A very lonely soul. One of the kindest people to Takumi in the entire game.
Tsubasa
I think she is the most consistently well written female character. Whilst Darumi only has retsnom really, I enjoyed Tsubasa in both KG and V'ehxness route. She's a sweet and caring girl without being boring. She has interesting character flaws like how impulsive and emotional she can be. I think she feels like the most human member of the cast and she's simply a good girl. I think she's very pretty too. It's cute when she gets excited and passionate.
Kako
It is a shame that she doesn't really get a route centered on her, but she was one of the characters that shined the most to me in the prologue. Super cute design and voice. It's nothing ground breaking sure, but I enjoy the trope of someone who is always protected wanting to become one who protects others themselves. Not being able to persuade her got me and I found it admirable how she stood up for herself and refused to be bossed around any longer. I also loved when she went mental on V'ehxness' corpse. That's what you get for killing her brother, bitch.
Post the ___funniest CGs___.
Will the Hundred Line anime be any good?
Cucking Ima
Actual best girl if WE GOT TO SEE MORE OF HER NOT BEING BRAINWASHED. FUCK YOU SIREI AND HIRUKO.
Play Killing game yet?
Of course and I loved her in it
Wow I was joking, this chad really is putting the moves on her.
Kyoshika is sweet too
Great analysis, anon. I agree with you on practically everything.
Nigou is never referred to as a male in the original Japanese version.
The Jumonji sword has no gender in the original Japanese version
English localizers overstepped their bounds.
If it's gender neutral in JP, their literal choices are "it" or "they." I'm sure I don't need to explain the issues with either. They could have picked "she," because Nigo is feminine-coded, but that's not technically accurate either. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
there's no reason the sword couldn't have been called an "it", now people keep saying kyoshika is a lesbian
Eva, the love of my life.
I love her because she's such a loving caring person and mother, and commendable how much she holds out and would put up with Kamyuhn.
Not only that but in BoC we see her empathy for the SDU as well simply making her a very mature and good natured person.
I loved her in KG as well with Nozomi and how badly she felt for her.
She's an incredibly lovely person who does nothing but get punished and deserves a good happy ending WHICH SHE NEVER GETS
We needed better Eva and Rebellion routes I want to join my fellow rebels immediately and gang up with Kamyuhn and rescue Eva and have her on our side maybe other commanders too they seemed chill we just overthrow V'exhness and establish peaceful coexistence.
I'm not familiar with the intricacies of nihongo. However, it's common in English to personify personal items, especially favored weapons, with gendered pronouns that would normally be reserved for people or pets. It just makes her autism seem that much more convincing. She's obviously not a dyke. We don't have to squint for those in HL.
No one actulally thinks Kyoshika is a lesbian.
I love Eva!
I have no hopes for any anime touched by Kodaka.
Nigou is never referred to as a male in the original Japanese version.
He literally is explicitly referred to as male multiple times in the japanese text, blame the writers
Nigou is the highest T male in all of fiction
balls deep inside Pukette
go for a kiss
she pukes
what do you do?
Please tell me where I want to see this myself heavily.
I need to see it
Clean it up, hug her and tell her that she has nothing to be embarrassed about
drink it down greedily
Puke with her!
Just as promised.
all we want is a karua girlfriend/wife
why is life so cruel
Knowing the way she operates, if you did this she'd fall for you so hard the next person who made you cry would get stabbed to death
Perfect!
The Tomato
Takumi is a lying bastard for never once doing this
Why did they make Nigou look like this if it's a guy? Is it meant to be funny?
Kyoshika and Eva are a close tie for best girl.
This scene genuinely made me laugh out loud. Best joke in the game.
cute
Correct choice
fucking disgusting
kill yourself gaku
Eva…. SEX
someone talk about darumi
Copy and pasting comment I read on youtube that I liked (retsnom spoilers):
Really tragic and one of the best endings in my book (both major retsnom endings). Darumi has a really deep self-loathe and she believes that ultimately no one can understand each other, despite her being a VERY caring person. With Retsnom power, she can finally understand others by absorbing them, but at the same time losing herself and turning into an abomination. Both curse and blessing to her, a curse because she thinks she deserves the worst to happen to herself therefore turning into an abomination, and a blessing because now she's finally able to fully understand others and "help" them. On the flip side though, she also wishes to just die, mainly due to her self-loathe, but it's amplified by her turning into Retsnom. At the very least though, she was killed by the hands of her most loved one and died as a martyr.
Ho, another person who cares about the details with Darumi. However, I believe the main inciting incident that makes Retsnom Darumi different than all the others is being made aware that she wants to live. So fuck that YouTube comment about her self loathing and wanting to die, the whole main thing of Retsnom and getting attached to Takumi was being made aware that she does in fact want to live.
Yeah it's interesting how V'ehxness is actually very important to that aspect of Darumi's character. Darumi is definitely the type of person to change after a near-death experience. Hmm fanfic ideas of Takumi saving Darumi from multiple near death experiences forming...
I like when she says funny thing
Is it possible to fail the parts of routes where characters say they need X by day Y or does the game just force you to go do it on the day before the deadline?
I remember someone wanted a datamine of the photos in Kako's room. If you are still out there, here you go.
Bonus: photos in Ima's room.
Finished prologue and 90 days into motherfucking fish route. So far like all presented girls but if we are talking about some preferences then:
Nozomi/Karua
I just have a soft spot for childhood friends even though all Takumi memories about her in prologue feels unnaturally artificial to keep him fighting so I wouldn't be suprised if entire prologue of the prologue section in TRC was a lie and cute sweet girls.
Kako, on the other hand is cute and sweet too but feels more like daughter material than actual romance interest. I mean, she is adorable as a kid would be.
Tsubasa
She looks like normal girl who just into machines outside of her puking problems
Eva
Her character design is very hot, want to see her not being brainwashed
Kyoshika, Kurara, Darumi, Moko
Meme tier characters so far, they are fun but too comical, hope they have more development in other routes
Hiruko
Wasn't there for almost entire prologue, didn't anything significant in the fish route, so can't say anything aside from that I personally don't like characters with such bossy attitude. Funny that in pool scene in the prologue before she was killed my coomer brain already make a scehario how she could have a threesome with Takumi and Eito right there to have their loyality Well, she is hot looking
Hahahahahhahahaha. Dunno if you saw me before but I posted about attempting to figure out ways to make it work in the story without being too unrealistic. I have actually made progress since then but it’s somewhat embarrassing. Curious for any input you could add towards those ideas essentially Retsnom but don’t find shit seems to be the best to get them together naturally. Instead of looking for shit just have em hang out, suppose like a romance route scenario for her except doesn’t involve stupid Dream shit making her attracted to him in the first place
I’m driven mad by wanting to write a realistic happy scenario for those 2 that doesn’t involve horrible things but it’s tough
Thank you a lot for this anon. Assuming the Kako's room text isn't readable? I fucking love Ima's room
So you find out in a later route that the rooms do in fact have locks. So how the fuck did Eito sneak into Hiruko's room to kill her? Do I really have to accept that this intelligent character was just too dumb to lock her door at night?
This actually startled me the first time I saw it
Unfortunately, these are the highest res. Here are the connection lines and extra text.
Eito's entire character is kind of a trainwreck if you think about him too much
Just enjoy the vibes
Did they not play cult ? This game is long so they genuinely might not have. The scene where she tries to jerk you off in the shower disputes that. But then again it was cult and Gaku wanted to fuck you there and I don't think he's gay
Nah he’s good
The more I think about Retsnom Darumi the more I don't understand Killing Game at all
I guess her not wanting to die thing happened with Gaku getting killed? Which explains why she participated in the KG despite Retsnom making it obvious she would only do it to get herself killed. But then she tries to sacrifice herself after Hiruko died despite never really interacting with Takumi's group cause of guilt or whatever. So I guess we went back to square one.
You guys made me make this
If you do Hiruko route she's incredibly fucking stupid and the dumbest character in the cast. So yes it sounds perfectly plausible.
I’ve brought that up a bunch of times myself as a criticism of the writing. But I did manage to find a sort of excuse I suppose, in that I would keep saying I don’t see Retsnom Darumi wanting to do the KG if she supposedly cares about everyone so much she makes herself the hate magnet for people to vent. But, what I guess could’ve changed her mindset is Gaku and Kurara being killed and being afraid of Takumi. At least for the start she seems to not give a shit about everyone else considering she’s willing to get them all in a game that’ll kill them, but then after Hiruko’s sacrifice she did want to help people as well just like Hiruko did.
And I the Darumi blog poster have saved it. Although I still find the people who actually liked her annoying one note joke clownery to be wrong
pretty much lol
I'm both sides though, anons that can't appreciate her inherent meme insanity are overcompensating for something.
At least for the start she seems to not give a shit about everyone else considering she’s willing to get them all in a game that’ll kill them
Jesus fucking christ dude
No I’m fairly certain being annoyed by her was what they were going for to the average player. She was fucking annoying. And after KG I started to legit hate her, but then doing her route turned me around and made her my favorite
and it also clicked for me once she said she was being annoying on purpose trying to make everyone hate her on purpose. I got got. It was her intended reaction.
And now there’s Darumi eating Lays
You're gonna have to accept that a lot of people find her funny, bub
That's why I think she should have been dead or irrelevant in most routes. The way Retsnom makes you re-evaluate how you saw her during the prologue and the decisions you make after was genius. KG kinda takes the piss out of it though
Anon... She's the first one dead in about half the routes in the game...
by most I mean all but retsnom
It shows how well written of a route retsnom is that it can change someone's opinion on a character completely like this, me included though I thought she was fine enough in KG. I find the whole writing thing of "You're annoyed by this character? Good. That's the intention" pretty damn interesting.
Darumi, I don't like her past as a child prostitute though.
Indeed KG is just so anti her Retsnom characterization it made me jump through hoops to try to justify it when it just comes down to different writers. I think Retsnom at least makes you okay with her goofiness in the routes she’s alive, although it hurts my heart to know she doesn’t get to be herself anywhere but Retsnom. Even in KG she talks in her non serious way, it’s only when Takumi catches her sick she drops the act because she was in too much pain to remember, and if he hadn’t questioned her on it she probably wouldn’t have been real with him either in Retsnom.
Is there a reason everyone other than Takumi and Hiruko are acting like such caricatures of themselves in the SF route?
Uchikoshi is a bad character writer.
Uchikoshi sucks
Unlike MGSV it did actually make me ashamed of my words and deeds of me getting annoyed and muttering shut up or ugh or fuck off whenever she said some stupid shit
They get plenty of focus in other various routes.
Uchikoshi carried this game. Deal with it.
Lol, lmao even
It's implied that they're all brainwashed
‘zomi…
game has an unfixable, broken, unredeemable 4/10 girl
Anon Babble be like: yoooooooo she's totally my wife
But this isn't a camcam thread?
another route where eito escapes
you'd think takumi would learn at some point
His inability to do so is actually a plot point anon.
wheres the cg of tsubasa kissing darumi?
Killing game
I need that one kako to rape me. You know the one.
Did 4shit just die with worst girl on the top of the front page?
The best design in the entire game
All the burgers...
wot
Darumi is just too powerful
Darumi makes Anon Babble kneel
Uchikoshi carried this game. Deal with it.
Anon Babble you're taking this contrarian thing too far
Darumi OWNS Anon Babble
It's true.
who will drain your balls faster hiruko or kyoshika
She's so hot like that, especially when talking about sexual acts.
Cute
If you mean a speedrun Kyoushika easily. She's too retarded to stop or slow down while you know Hiruko is into denial.
gives his manifestation of guilt gigantic boobs
Don't blame him. They're Kodaka's shitty characters.
Hey I am the one who was begging for it. Thanks a lot, bro!
A little sad that the post-its weren't readable, but I'm glad I have this wallpaper now.
Thanks again!
That's cope. There's a random ass point where they all suddenly get angry at each other which would never happen if they were brainwashed. The writing is just retarded in this route.
People who think Uchikoshi is better than Kodaka are room IQ decisionlets who take comfort in the existence of an easy S.F. choice over actually experimenting and making decisions on their own. It's kind of sad but not unexpected, some people never grow the ability to be independent. Don't worry, Uchikoshi has you covered lil babby.
The problem with the Uchikoshi hate is that you never know if you are talking with someone who has an actual problem with the story or someone who just hates him and shits on his writing cause he is still a butthurt ZTD fag
Kodaka routes are standalone stories. Prologue, Second Scenario, Vehxness, Cult, you could play just that one route and experience the narrative and emotional journey he wrote.
Uchikoshi routes are not stories by themselves. If you only play Slasher or Mystery or Box of Blessing or Mystery, you only get a piece of the picture. You have to play all of the routes together to understand the picture he is painting.
And then it's not really a good painting, just a complicated 3D picture that you can observe and go "huh well that's pretty complex and impressive that it all fits together like that"
ZTD was bad in a fun way, NI was his lowest so far
i hated ZTD
i hated NI
i hate the gie and the boxes and the suits
Kodaka wrote the boxes.
did coming of age earlier
have to detonate a bomb on another route
can't be epic
what the fuck is this shit did takumi's balls disappear
Some routes are unrealistic and silly for the sake of it.
Shonenslop like Coming of Age or FISH act according to their own logic. Same with the Slasher stuff.
Takumi can lose basically his entire body in one route and be totally fine but in a different one a character is perma dead cause he bled just a little too much.
At least ZTD was fun to shit on
This isn't about ZTD but the fact that we have some local ZTD schizos who will never throw Uchikoshi a bone even if he writes something decent cause they are eternally buttblasted about their hate game.
S.F could be a perfect route - flawless masterful writing which respects its characters at all times and magically makes everything just click and those schizos would still shit on it cause MOTIVES man lives rentfree in their head.
I'm Uchikoshifag and I liked both ZTD and AINI but I thought everything that he wrote/planned in this was fucking abysmal. There's no excuse for this, it feels like he had a severe brain damage while writing. Absolutely nothing is taken seriously, everything is written ironically and half-heartedly. Shit just happens and gets resolved in the same scene. At least ZTD had some sincerity to it.
Routes like Multiple Eitos fit the core plot and tone better. When you get into the bug shit, and the timeline leaping you’ve officially strayed super far from the prologue’s established narrative and style. The game’s scope causes it to forget what it is sometimes.
I plan to make my own personal roadmaps for replaying the game. One with a broad lineup of the good parts in their best order, and then a tighter run that keeps the tonally consistent essentials leading up to ending 001.
how it feel to be pussy??
