I remember my first play through I pretty much saw all of the golden deers and other students that I stole as if they were my own students. And playing through three houses again, man am I proud of Lorenz. Marianne takes second place for me for learning from her depression and becoming happy but I think why I’m most proud of Lorenz is that you see the constant progress and how he basically becomes the golden deers caretaker, he never shrink his responsibility and see to it to learn to take care of everyone equally.

A thought came to mind of how little has actually happened in the Logan line and I didn’t think it was so bad till I actually thought about it. So going from the build up to both storyline to now here the difference.

Logan: Will get assaulted by Luna, Hope and Liam are brought back together, Deke is introduced, Luna is pregnant, Hope line is restored, Luna dies, Katie and Bill are back together with a new fashion house, Taylor and Deacon start their affair, Dylan become a character, Deke get hired to FC, Deke get fired, Dylan and Will start acting weird together, everyone find out about Taylor and Deacon affair, Logan hires Eric, Eric leaves, Logan first showing, Will and Electra breaks up, RJ is introduced, Dylan gets a job at FC, Ivy quits, Will and Electra are back together after Dylan moves out, HFTF is put down, Hope considers going to Logan, Hope is at Logan, Will gets fired, Wyatt returns, Hope is revealed to be at Logan, Hope has a heart attack.

Takeover: Hope try to steal Finn from Steffy, Luna and Poppy try to trick Bill to believing he the father, Steffy discover Luna is a crazy killer, Hope gets with Carter when her line is going to be killed, Hope and Carter start considering the takeover, Bill release Luna from Prison, Hope is fired, Finn finds out he Luna father, Takeover happens, Ridge and Brooke break up, Taylor and Ridge are back together, Luna is free from house arrest, Electra is introduced with Ivy return, Shiela finds out she Luna grandmother, Electra and Will get together after deepfakes, Steffy is hired back at FC, Luna start hitting on Will and begging Finn to accept her, Daphne is introduced, Luna has a gun, Carter and Hope relationship falls apart, Thomas returns to reject Hope, Liam becomes sick, everyone finds out Poppy is a groomer, Luna pulls a gun on Will and is on the run, Liam hides his sickness from Hope and Bill, Hope goes off on Ridge and Brooke beg for him back, Luna shoots Liam, Ridge and Hope goes off on Bill.

You really start to see the difference is that vastly different things happens between each other in the takeover vs the Logan storyline. In fact the Logan storyline is rather tamed in events with the most wild thing being at the very beginning of the build up section. But also how many characters actually do something significant in comparison to Logan storyline. Electra introduction brings Will to be in a lot of story of his own where as none of the characters introduce add any new stories to supporting characters that haven’t really gotten any.

You can’t make this up, at least with Eric keeping it a secret made sense cause Eric was doing it for his ego and Logan benefitted from it. We really kept a secret for 3 months just to do the same thing with Eric, only difference being at least Ridge acknowledged where he went wrong. We weren’t being overloaded by Ridge but this sure is the “most interesting” thing. I’m sure yall enjoying your potential Eric at Logan storyline part 2

Duelist Roads are always mix in their summary of arcs. If you’re zexal god forbid you actually take that as the summary because you’ll be loss by the many things they leave out that ends up being important. If you’re arc V for some reason you get a really good shorten summary of the arc that is being covered(helps that a lot of it could be cut/doesn’t actually matter). Now we have Vrain and I didn’t really watch much of Vrains so I can’t judge how it is as a summary beside they treat Gore like an afterthought… honestly just like the show so maybe it’s accurate to give him so little. Either way how would you say this duelist road been, do you think it left out key information, did characters dirty or is an overall good showing of what happened?

I gave it the chance to prove me wrong, to do something new, to prove it not ai slop, but boy did it prove me right. The new fashion show of Logan is going to bring a new dynamic and refreshing dynamic to the show… oh FC is bowing out, oh Logan is constantly talking about Brooke rather than their next step, oh Electra going to have the same Will betray me again. We been reusing the same stuff for over 5 months now shoot this is whole Logan vs FC storyline is just a worst takeover plot because the takeover actually had an idea of what it wanted to do, what it wanted to say.

But we also know it was written by a human at least, Electra is so ai pilled at this point that she literally is getting mad for Will not telling her everything. But it make more sense if you realize that it most likely an ai being given an algorithm of all of Electra scene not realizing that the context of what was being hidden from her was why she made it a big deal and not that she absolutely need to know everything. Shoot I wouldn’t be surprised if Hope scenes was also Ai since they keep going back and forth with her character. Props to all the actors and actresses but you can also tell people a lot them are tired of this repetition slop. Plus I doubt anything new will happen, the show will just keep doing the same thing and will nostalgia blind people with returning cast members and random references.

Sure is exciting to get the same thing we get every week. “But look at the freak out from Brooke” oh wow… the thing we got every other week. Every 2 weeks Brooke and Katie has an argument, what new here? Now they’re delaying the FC line for more “let’s talk about Brooke relationships with her sister”. We finally come so close to something actually new and we just go back to more “I wonder how Brooke or Electra feel today”. No new plot lines, no new struggles, just the same thing as before only now we know they’re delaying the new stuff if there any to begin with.

I think a big problem we are facing in current duel links is we are encountering the slop era of yugioh. Basically a point in every yugioh format where a lot of deck find themselves with similar end boards whether it be due to a particular engine or a card facilitating it. Currently have it twice now with the first example being Tachyon engine where Tachyon, Galaxy, Blue eyes, Therion and any decks that can make rank 8 had basically the same end board. The problem technically got solved there by killing Tachyon. Then and recently we got crimson dragon double Quasar end board, where decks like stardust, Centurion, blue eyes and any decks that can barf out a bunch a synchro with no problems can make the same board. Shoot if the skill didn’t restrict Resonator from playing only dark synchro dragons, it too would have a very similar end boards. If crow and Kalin aren’t restricted in synchros too then you can bet they too can make the double quasar board. I do wonder how do we solve this problem now that we are getting more generic end board tools?

Obviously they won’t because they don’t wanna do a legal drama again probably and we can’t have Katie have a set back, she gotta have an easy road till they decide to thrash Logan. But now that they kinda been forced to cancel the show due to suddenly knowing when the showing was thanks to Hope… can’t they actually pursue real legal actions on Logan or at the very least Hope. Doesn’t help she still on 2 contracts, doesn’t help that they knowingly still let her work while on contract with FC, again I know for a fact they won’t because that be a huge setback to Logan and make all of them look like idiots.

Like I’m not agreeing with Eric in how he handling it but like… it wasn’t just something that involved the Logan’s. FC could have used to news to start prepping for Hope not returning because now they gotta figure out what to do with a line that returning without it head. Also kinda a dick move from Hope to say yes to the line returning if she knew she was going quit before she return. But the bandage was going to hurt regardless, why didn’t she do anything to prep it. Hell why did she even promise Katie knowing it would only cause a bigger fight later on.

It was found out that the new Logan theme was made by AI instead of you know a real person. I’m not making any claims per se on the script or recent fashion designs but how would you feel if the script they been using by AI. Me personally after this week, I’m done with the show; I cannot support the use of AI on a show meant to be about human designers and artists. Even if it only being used for 1 song, it means that they may use it in the future which I just can’t support.

Bill is absolutely the best part of seeing this side but Bill is always entertaining. Overall you can blame it more on the bad writing but both Logan’s and Spencer families are so boring. They haven’t really had much conflict in the last 2 months since the higher focus on them. Wyatt seem like it was going to have him and Bill butting head a lot but nothing ever happened and now he just another dog of Bill, Wyatt had several problems with coming back and not a single one ever is confronted to Bill. It feel so much like lip service, like how several characters will say “I don’t trust Bill” yet is faithfully serving him. Deke is just boring, now taking him from a chaotic environments you kinda see how nothing he is; he worked much better before he was a down to earth guy surrounded by a bunch of dramatics people but now with him being next to Will, Liam and Wyatt; you kinda realize he doesn’t have any charm or charisma.

Most of all seeing Hope taken into more of a protagonist role these last couple of months, she become so pathetic and flip flopping. At least before when she made bad decisions she owned it till it backfired in her face and even then owned it, now she just constantly saying “omg how will my mother feel”. We really went from her character being completely focus on Steffy to completely focus on Brooke. It like the writers themselves don’t see anything about Hope interesting enough to have something focus on her instead has to be focus on someone else. But don’t worry Liam going to be giving her a bi weekly pep talk to show he a big strong man instead of Hope finding her own resolve because this “idol to young woman” always need someone else to solve her problems for her.

The worst part is Logan side is the most predictable and unfulfilling side, it actually make all the stuff they’re setting up on the other side be more interesting the less they talk about Logan. The finances of FC are interesting for where they go with it cause it already cause conflicts and isn’t something they will wave away, Electra and Dylan are getting closer with Remy becoming more desperate and RJ dating Dylan due to both their unrequited love; anything can happen there, Zende is now a lead designer of a line with no leader; how will he react to that, how will FC handle HFTF? All of these are so much more interesting than “guys we gotta keep x a secret for the 50th time” at Logan or the “how will Brooke feel” at Logan.

While I don’t think the general idea of Nostalgia is bad(this literal format is built off of nostalgia from anime’s from over 10 years ago the latest for speed), I often find when people say how they missed things how they used to be they don’t really actually describe it. It just a fantasy they made up. So I’m curious what exactly is the good old days for you and how exactly is it different from modern duel links?

No new support for years, barely removed any of them from the ban list, and now Diabellstar is getting an animation before Visa Starfrost. I think Visa Starfrost archetype has become the new pendulum of “we will slightly acknowledge you but we don’t like you”. Is it time to give up on the last world left?

I’m really disappointed that not only does Hope take this excuse but we are ignoring how Wyatt quit because he felt used and only value when he can only do something for Bill. Liam quit a year ago cause Bill made him feel lesser and emasculated. Shoot made workers who talked back or couldn’t fulfill his requests got fired. So how exactly is it “not toxic”? Shoot this very episode Bill admitted he hope to tear the family apart for Katie meaning he doesn’t care what happen to Hope in the aftermath. The fact Liam didn’t speak up about how Bill only saying things his wife want to hear and doesn’t mean it, shows how whipped he become.

It’s crazy to think Dressrosa was over 10 years ago and how long this era of one piece was. To put into perspective, we have 4 games that either ends in the middle of Dressrosa, latest character is Doflamigo before awakening or have a high amount of Dressrosa characters. Actually reading the arc and examining Doflamigo outside is so highly different. I binged Dressrosa a year ago and found it really good/Doflamigo is a really unique villain that erase most comparison to Alabasta. Mind you I didn’t watch the anime during Dressrosa, after fishman island I quit the anime till the Wano arc so I don’t know how bad the anime was week to week back then. So largely for anime watching, what do you think of Dressrosa/Doflamigo when looking back?

Hearing the new project be announced; the description saying “Keechi and friends”, and the main visual being Rena alone; it reminds me how we don’t have many Mion focused stories. We got some love for Shion during the gou/Sotsu era(higurashi is literally going to separate by era by this point lol), mostly in a form of damage control for people who still misunderstand her character. But it kinda left me thinking we will once again get a new higarashi story with Mion mostly being a background character, curious if anyone feel the same about Mion and loss hope on Mion focus stories?

Between the two main villains of Tsukihime, Roa for close side and far side being Kohaku(really it’s Makihisa but the physical villain behind most of the events of far side is Kohaku), Kohaku ends up being such a big schemer that she kinda keep Roa in check. In far side route after Arcueid (assumingly, never fully confirmed but heavily implied) kills Nero Chaos, she leaves. If Arcueid wasn’t absent in Far side route and Kohaku had enough prep time, do you think Kohaku could manage to get Arcueid killed? She did manage to keep both Shiki in check and manipulated them so she technically have a win con.

Last week was part 1 defining fights, this time it’s shippuden who imo has less defining “fights” and more defining moments. Like for example Shikamaru vs Hidan is a defining moment in the series but the fight that lead up to the moment while not bad isn’t as memorable moment to moment as say Naruto vs Gaara in part 1. Kage summit also means the half way point and is a major turn for the series for better or worse. We have Sakura vs Sasori as a great show and the only good showing of the timeskip in effect in a full fight. 4tails vs Orochimaru which elevated the scale of destruction for battles going forward. Jiraiya vs Pain, a fight that redefined Jiraiya as a character as well as the series view on “Legacy”. Sasuke vs Deidara, the first fight to truly push shippuden Sasuke to his limits while also showing both fighters full toolsets where each moves both players are making completely change the flow of the fight. Sasuke vs Itachi, the pay off to the longest story thread in the series. Naruto vs Pain, the second fight where Naruto become a hero of the village and the last time we see any unique nine tail forms based off of tails.

It be actually funny if Steffy saw this coming, purposely told Hope it was soon and then catch 24 her into insider trading. Also yes it actual insider trading to tell a date when something will release when not announced to the public, we are now seeing Logan releasing a line at the same time as them. If Hope didn’t provide them with the information I doubt it be ready so soon(they literally just got Deke on board a week ago). There way more interesting Drama to be had if they go into a law suit and Logan lose because “ok what do your group do the moment the answer doesn’t come to your door step?”. Does Bill leave Katie when her decisions fails him, do Hope finally decide to strike on her own instead of going all the worse ways, how do the Spencer boys react when Bill and Katie start having trouble. It been such smooth sailing for Logan that I barely care about the Logan company anymore.
