r/EightySix

10/10 anime

I was on my first ever summit today and 86 never leaves my side when I travel so I decided to ingrave 86 on a rock with many other names. The hike was great and the views were incredible.

Besides Shin and Lena, my fav side character has got to be my goat Ernst. He's a strong president, a caring father, and a powerful leader. He's happy-go-lucky at times, serious with colleagues, and badass at the perfect moments. The moment where he said he was willing to destroy the world if humanity abandons their ideals was one of the highlights of the Morpho arc. That look in his eyes convinced everyone he was NOT joking about it. All in all, one of the best side characters in the series. And as the leader of the revolution that overthrew the empire, he's probably got a fascinating backstory that has yet to be fully covered in the LN.

Not sure how reliable Google trends are when it comes to popularity, but im pretty astonished that the anime has hit a resurgence. Really happy this masterpiece is getting more love.

So from what I understand the Para-RAID allows for the instantaneous transfer of sensory information between two parties. However the majority of the mental strain is only applied to one party, and the only upper limit to how many people can be linked at once is sheer willpower. P-RAIDs can only connected if both parties consent and are conscious, otherwise no mental link will be established. All sensory information, from sound to sight to even emotions, can be relayed over P-RAID. Now let’s delve a bit deeper

The P-RAID was originally developed by Dr. Penrose and Dr. Nouzen to artificially recreate the Maika clan’s telepathy, which was found to have manifested in both Rei and Shin at a young age. Due to Shin’s trauma however his ability has been somewhat altered and he can now resonate with the ghosts of the Legion. To what extend he can understand them has not been clarified yet by Asato-Sensei.

Now for the real questions: What exactly is prohibiting the Federacy and the United Kingdom from further developing it to become a Legion hearing machine like Shin? And what exactly is prohibiting them from resonating with an artificial body? Like, could it be possible to project one’s self onto an artificial being like a Sirin or even a Feldreß and remotely control the body through sheer feelings? I feel like it has the potential to be humanity’s greatest weapon against the Legion.

For me, It's Daiya, mostly because of the impact he left on Anju, and how much it affected her, even into recent volumes and her relationship with Dustin. Also he is the person who found and adopted TP so that's bonus points

Kaie has a good argument too, I think she has more of an effect on the wider plot and the characters themselves overall

Vladelina Milize Supremacy!!!
