Kill the previous one
Probably
Mmm
Actually
I think they know too well that’s pointless
Not to mention Nikolai doesn’t get any younger from being cloned
Oh yah, Nikolai is visibly pretty old
R corp replication tech seems uh limited in that way
Seems like they can’t reverse aging yet
Yeah
Perfect copy
Emphasis on perfect
Age included
I’m sure they could make a younger clone
But I think they know it would be pointless
Because divergence means the outcome would be even more substantially different than usual
Easier to just uh
Pick someone else younger to promote
Other two aren’t too far off though
Individuals or specific units will also be culled if they are individually bad earners
Since without reindeers to absorb casualties now they have to absorb casualties
Probably but they’re safe for now
Also I wonder if it’s soft confirmation we aren’t getting any more reindeer IDs…
We do have a story of all 3 of them being murdered and their unit disbanded
Well probably get Rudolph in walpurgisnacht
Oh yah probably
Bring the number up to 4
Also I think importantly
The uptie does not bar new rabbits and rhinos
So Rhino Gregor and Rabbit Ryoshu are on the table still
I do wonder if we’ll get ravens around purgatorio
Hunting escaped fourth pack members in like the outskirts or smth
I feel like we’ll see them in game before we get an ID of them
They’re very built up to just be revealed in an ID
Yeah
Wonder what kind of stories they’ll appear in though
Will we make an alliance of convenience with Myo
And have to deal with Raven pursuers
They are almost certainly STOC level
With how they need to kill r Corp pack commanders
So like, if we do fight them it’ll be a while still
I wonder if they have a purpose besides culling packs too
Like, elite assassins skilled enough to kill the best of R Corp is useful for a lot more then killing employees who are no longer profitable
Honestly, she should
She is an insane Christmas lady
She's honestly more sane than you'd think, judging by her uptie story
Well, as expected she isn’t outdoing KoDion any time soon
Does look like a reasonable charge unit though
Conditionals on S1 aren’t too bad (5+ count and 2+ potency is much less than other charge units) and she has damage on it as well
SHE SOUNDS SO SADDDDDDDDDDD 

I hear nothing?
"We figured out your soldier type: sorry soldier"
"Wait, wasn't my type Jolly soldier?"
"You can have multiple"
Thought gained: Rigorous Self-Critique
Looking at the new id
She feels like shi Faust(fixed) In that there is like nothing wrong with her at all but like she feels so middle of the pact and with high opportunity cost she just seems way worse
Gotta say, her animations are cool
You know waht could be fun? A charge unit whose guard generated extra shield scaling with charge potency
So late into the fight, they generate thick shields
Kinda REAPShu I guess
Do you think if the Ring ran into angela, they'd do tests to be sure she's sapient instead of gen ai
Angela: The head doesn't act as long as I stay inside.
Ring: okay, next test it is.
The humble “select all images with [blank]”
"Try drawing a hand"
"Good, you failed like a person instead of an llm. Don't be sad, we all struggle with drawing hands"
Either that or she does it perfectly
"I practiced for eras, thinking of what it'd feel to hold my creator's hand, or be patted in the head. To play ball games with him"
Late but I think they're also there to deal with internal problems with other employees
If there's a betrayer somewhere you send the ravens to pick them clean
It bars nothing even, considering that when we pluck IDs from the Mirror is arbitrary
They probably suppress remnants of old r corp
We could be getting Reindeer before the purge, right in the middle, or long after
Are we getting a Raven
From @ c_kingdodo
By the time reindeers get purged there are two survivors to the whole unit
And we know both of them haha
Ishmael and rodion
They could be the supreme commander’s personal death squad?
Handpicked unit given all the best equipment and toys
Yi Sang will lock in and become strongest one day, trust
I believe in our micro-plastic consuming mirror-making Austrailian Korean crow boy
He’ll be the Raven slaughtering Ishmael and rodion
Do you think the Supreme commander is more or less Big Boss
The strongest and most prestigious soldier in the city
the meme has gotten to you now
Yah probably
I want him to appear wearing an eye patch and a beret
Gregor Big Boss ID
Do you think Binah kills people who asks her to serve iced tea
does she serve tea when asked?
Yes
Chesed I think briefly mentions that his own librarians sometimes heads up to the floor of philosophy to drink Binah’s tea when they get tired of coffee
Geburah also sometimes drops by for tea
He got so close
Trueeeee
Full R Corp team comp... surely... we need more organization team comps... give me Lob Corp team leader ID...
Isn’t Outis a team captain
And ryoshu
And Faust now that I think about it
Oh yeah
Dias is preparing for another wing war
So that might offer the fourth pack some breathing room in our world
Not a Masterpiece, but it was a fun pass time nonetheless.

I don't know how these Time Stamps work, but I guess I just pray for them to appear...
R corp might be hesitant to cull its military assets if they have reason to believe a major war may break out soon
Which pack got sent to Hongyuan?
Reindeer ram and rat. Might be vanguard forces from multiple packs
I mean in terms of an ID that actually adds synergy between the Lob Corp employee IDs
And/or E.G.O gear users
I don’t think that really fits with lobcorp vibe
If Ayin ever actually cared about camaraderie with his friends the plot of lobcorp wouldn’t have happened
Okay yeah true
It’s not until like Ruina when sefiras start forming true friendships and cooperating with each other
Well technically until white night dark days
So you're saying it's possible for the LoR Walpurgisnachts /hj
Patron Librarian IDs would be cool
Not even patron librarian ids uhh
Like librarians wearing books ids
For each department
Utilizing various skills from random sources but all tailored perfectly for the departments focus
Malkuth librarians focusing on burn for instance
That would be cool actually, yeah
Using techniques from Liu, Dawn Office, etc

And above all, you let life defeat you. All the gifts your parents gave you, all the love and patience of your friends, you drowned in a neurotoxin. You let misery win. And it will keep on winning till you die -- or overcome it.
The limbus fandom is christened

(follow me i draw silly limbus sinners)
Chat, besides expensive EGO usage, what’s the best way to keep N Clair in negative sanity?
Just unopposed attacks?
Pretty much
Ah
Also, I’m realizing a common thread in Rodion IDs
She’s happy and cheerful whenever she’s working as a fixer
But she’s miserable whenever she’s working as a Corp agent
Devyat, Zwei, Dieci, Liu, she’s still upbeat and even happy for the latter three
T Corp, L Corp, R Corp, Heishou?
Hell
That tracks yeah
at last, a fandom is created
I should probably read it
there probably is but that'd require combing through every ID (and i guess EGO too) and tallying them
my gut says it's probably sloth but thats just a guess
"my child will save their resources and make sure to use them wisely"
"Lvl 55 UT4 NRyo don't worry about having the team for it"
Gloom is usually the rarest, iirc?
varies by team a lot
if you mean across all IDs, I'm not sure
With the two base egos that inflict bind needing it. Plus fluidsac
Yah I meant between everything
It would be fucking hilarious to make my middle name or family name Jia
But I’m not doing that
Actually, my hair might be ryoshu length
Well close to it
The ryoshu cosplay is real
I’m not sure if I can grow my hair to Hong’s canonical length
Bruh someone calculated this season’s average DPR and it’s 450
Which is apparently like, the average DPR of FS Hong only with FS Heath on support
Gotta straighten my hair for ryoshu
Oh, reading hell screen
The scene where the daughter burns
And yoshihide can't rescue her
There's a samurai to stop him
Yoshihide could have tried
But he must have felt powerless
Unless estrogen turns me into Sinclair
The irony
That someone who lived mocking society
Was ultimately chained by its rules
Made to submit
To the point he could only watch in horror
The samurai, a man who once consumed human flesh in desperation and gained great strength
Was himself horrified by the scene
Yet he still obeyed
It's society
do you need lust res to activate the cool trick
like
with getting the gaze or contempt
or do you just want pride res
Aweshu uses lust resonance to inflict Gaze
You need at least two lust skills per turn
Also, aweshu can be slow to build up gaze and loses it between waves since the enemies can't transfer the gaze stacks
Maybe the ego helps?
I ut4 her to speed up gaze build up
I'm currently working towards UT4
so that doesn't concern me too much
the E.G.O I can get after Ram Don
I am currently trying to figure out what passives for a NSang NShu duo MDE
since NSang is not ammo
things are quite hard
this feels... like not enough
If I was a sinner: two sheep ids, entire lineup sheep egos
EGO guns are very useful
not right now they're not
Too bad he doesn't count as ammo like magibullet
genuinely baffled that he doesn't
Mb outis is fun
@dusty sigil fellow FabUlt GM
I used Mayors as the FC of the questgiver NPC in a FabUlt oneshot i ran three days ago
I named her Alcaldea as a pun
That’s awesome
It's peak/bleak
The rodya on the verge of opening up, filled with love slowly revealing itself
Who barely cared about being special and jsut wanted Christmas with her loved ones
Who in her final moments, what she wanted to say the most was a phrase of love and comfort she wanted to give her comrades, ratehr than curses, rage or lamentations
Her uptie story is just. Depressing.
I wish she and her comrades could've had a nice Christmas
Same
They had a turkey roasting in the oven and everything...
She just wanted to share a happy christmas with her fellow Reindeers...
I wish they could've had their Christmas just that once
Idea
Hong Lu vtuber with rigs for a bunch of other pmoon characters
And then we just switch between them for gags
Imagine like, im cracked asf in FPS games so I switch to the Gebura model while I’m playing melee and deleting the whole lobby
ID system on god
fantasy RPGs is immediately Don Quixote
canto 9 only two weeks awayyy
limbus company! just two weeks away!
can you believe it?
limbus!
just two weeks!
wow
i am so happy about this information
I am fascinated by how finishing the hell screen gave yoshihide a holy aspect
2 weeks...
The moment he was ready to finish, he was akin to a glowing Buddha
a divinity through violence perhaps
it's like she's in some king of... heaven through vioelnce...
she reached heaven... through violence...
I know but I'm talking about how the Mirror chooses whenever to pluck out IDs for us on an arbitrary basis
We got XIshmael even though she's already dead in that mirror world
Wu Sang interacts with her even though he got confirmation of her death
btw does rodion have a new mechanic they are hinting for the next canto
Only notable thing i can imagine is self sinking
Whats up with that
Thematic sure but
Why
canto 8-30
oh my god
this team is working
like
REALLY WELL
LCE Yi sang is level 20
oh my god
Ok I extracted raindeerion
And I have to say
<KJH> the players have had it too good in recent cantos. Too nice. Load the uptie story cannon.
i still think its WILD
that the only time don ever reference the red mist
is on a event that is permanently unavailable now
Hmm?
No she references red mist multiple times
She brings up the red mist during the First Walpurgisnacht
genuinely going to start tweaking
I thought that was Ishmael pregnant for a second
@dusty sigil
:)
I feel the shadow of an contextualess injoke
I'm the only one getting Ishmael pregnant around here
yeeting you to odysseychat
is odysseychat real, if so where's my invite
Accept friend request
Sure
Accept friend requests
There’s odyssey chat?
Ive had a long few days and my curiosity needed satiating
Anyhow
RRodya self sinking
sorry carmen
How much does it
it's pretty gnarly
Mess with her stuff
won't lie
I mean, don't get hit basically
in practical terms all it does is rule her out from red coin interception duty
because she clashes like an absolute monstrosity
Wonder if this is foreshadowing of self application for Reasons of just the janky narrative integration into mechanics
not only is she a Charge Potency unit
you can just accept the self-Sinking repeatedly for untold rewards and short-circuit her charging cycle
so it's pretty practical for her to hit max conditionals on her skills and fuck shit up in clashes
Mmmhmm
I kinda wonder if this + the rooster heishou is a presaging of self-status units who are allowed to have unusually strong clashing or damage or status application in return for whooping their own asses a little
She also doesn’t have any way to give herself count so in practical terms it doesn’t matter anyways
You just cave their skulls in and then the Sinking falls off
self sinking negative coin unit that isn't potential man inc
self rupture would be strange, self bleed is already done by bloodfiends
and self tremor is already used as charge 2.0
I'm glad self-tremor was banished to the negative zone tbh
wdym banished?
t corp outis uses it
that's an id released this season
only the hybrid tremor units don't use it
she does?
yes
Self Tremor does have some funny potential with conversion into positive flavors like that Heath EGO
they'd have to be count based flavours as all the self trem units only inflict count to themselves, not potency
I think there's also a gift in the TKT bokgak that gives a positive Self Tremor?
kinda yeah
lmao i told youuuuuuuuuuuu
it could work as a weird unbreakable/unopposed id
like all your skills give you rupture and rupture count
so you actively want to get hit to make it so your 3/3 rupture stack doesn't become a 6/6 rupture stack and start doing significantly more damage to you
Mmhmm
Wait is this just talisman
the intended version of talisman maybe
no its just sunshower heathcliff

Season7 - 蜘ノ糸ノ赤 [Kumo no ito • oti on akA]
2025.12.31 (KST)
2 MINUTES
fuuuuuuuuck
but what if... ||she was baby...||
holy shit
||also mega suspicious we only saw 3 of the fingers. Also wdym she was fucking raised by like 3 bosses?????||
so by implication the Index is by far the most important Finger to Ryoshu's origin huh
specfically because we were shown her "parents" in the Thumb, Middle, and Ring
hey what the fuck
||AM I INSANE OR DOES FEEL LIKE LOLANG||
you are insane
||NO NOT JUST YOU||
he repeatedly gestures with an index finger outlined in red thread btw.
ikr
you can imagine the fanart
but if it is truly Ryoshu's father, and he's one of the main leaders of the index, does that by proxy make ryoshu a ||child of the will of the city or do you think he did that by himself||
k just confirmed
||Index was also the finger the thread was wrapped around right||
its not ||roland||
yan is ryo's father and moirai is ryo's mom
pmoon was trolling with it for sure
okay I took some screenshots just to highlight the finger motif
we can see for sure that ||Ryoshu's father|| is the Index's representative
||Could we the "father" maybe also be the man ryo had a child with?||
doubt it
interestingly ||no thread around the pinky||
||we see the three other fingers over a baby Ryoshu in a crib, and later we see a mother NOT* tied by red string to the baby's pinky who looks nothing like Ryoshu||
all this hand stuff, wheres the feet rep huh. where are the toes as an organisation?
no I am not a foot person, I'm just laughing at this realisation.
do you mean this shot? ||cause the baby i think does look like ryo||
We have the head and the fingers
No palm or feet
Presumably the torso is the city itself
||the baby looks like Ryoshu, I meant the mom looks dissimilar||
where are my arms, legs, the buttocks huh
wait what
Have you seen the L Corp sprites for Gebura and Binah
oh thats what you mean
||a "broken promise"||
genuinely was about to say "wait a second they actually have a thighs organisation???"
||they made a promise to ryoshu, and broke it, hence no thread around the pinky? or maybe ryoshu broke it...||
||either way i think its representing a broken promise of some sort||
||maybe to her daughter?||
Hm, some old egos did hit you with self rupture
anyway thats my recent fever dream deployed, gonna go back to sleep.
Yarhiym Avot Assoc.
Kinda silly
||Ring person just being a skeleton is def spooky||
||I'm just so confused by how "the child" is never specifically called out as Ryoshu's child, even by people who personally know Ryoshu, and now Ryoshu herself is depicted as a child in the trailer.||
also i love my dancing hong lu watch
||With a "mother" and a "father" set aside from the rest of the Fingers' representative paraded in front of us in the trailer||
i gotta wonder
||Thumb women looks awesome, middle dude is fun, ring person horrifying||
||did they make her her own daughter or some shit?||
I think it may not be that important
also, ||ricardo is only a big brother???||
yeah
||It def fun that we are given no info in the trailer how and why all these I presume heads (Sottocapo etc) of their territory are all together for the occasion||
What peak EDM does he play
Isn’t this established in LoR
That they have a moot every so often
ye but we only know the finger bow bell like exist and we dont really know in what form if that makes sense. And this seemed like alsost less official but i could def be wrong here
Hmm
we know that meeting is done for like practical reason wheras this looked like more social?
Ok i got worried that ||the trailer revealed her not to be a mom||
My guess here is that it's about the cycle of family
The practical reasons: it would be really funny
||ryoshu's parents, ryoshu's daughter||
||Ryoshu herself shows cynicism and hang ups about family||
I am also super curious why ||the "white"|| here is the only bold word in the trailer
Then i remembered ||lei heng mentions a daughter in canto 8||
White is the index colour
Also ||Seems they are having the daughter be under threat of being molded by the fingers
I knew they would change the threat, since in the book it was that the lord was atteacted to yuzuki, angry she rejected him and implied to attempt sa before he burned her||
ok i rewatched and overread the very obvious line
I’m gonna guess index guy is doing some screwery there
That's a cool direction
Not what I expected them to change it into
||And fits
Yoshihide was ultimately powerless against the force of society
So here it's society trying to take over her daughter||
Wait I just realized
The hell screen canto
References time
Dante lore!?
||He is straight mogging us while also doing the Index logo pose at the same time smh||
Can’t wait to see what gets cooked up for index IDs

the five fingers put their combined genetic material in the pot to birth ryoshu
for the funny
I’m just happy it’s probably confirmation we are getting another capo id
In Korean the Middle guy directly address ryoshu as daughter
Though it might be ambiguous in translation
She is harrison 2nd
Her daughter us harrison 3rd
I do think it s strange
That in actuality the most important father appears to be the Index
BURNMOR MD READY!!!
The index cares the most for the will of the collective
And wield restraining chains
Like the tying strings
I guess althe only thing that that can get five different leaders of diffferent syndicates together (4?) to raid a child together is an index prescript
Come to think of it
They might also all be pinkies
Since lei Heng mentions that all of her fathers taught her sword skills
And pinkies are most well known for cool swords
I was wondering why a thumb capo had a katana
im going to fucking explode
@winged shard bloodfiends and burn
The only thing left is charge
I guess they thought lei Heng wasn’t jetstream Sam enough
If they gave the new capo of the thumb katanas
> italian mafia
> katanas
badass
She would be cute if she didn't slap ryoshu
She literally slapped a baby for being unable to stand on two feet
Really feeling the legendary thumb disdain for all outsiders
ROLAND?!
Nah just an index guy
The suit is identical to what every other index proxy except Gloria wears underneath their white cloak
It even has the index badge
Oh right
I forgot they also just wear a black suit
Ok but this is really funny
I wonder who the person saying this is btw
They didn’t seem to be one of the four finger representatives
I think someone said she seems to have a pinky string, but isnt directly connected to ryoshu by it?
RYOSHU Y.D.A.N
Oh this goes fucking hard
Limbus Company
Season7 - 蜘ノ糸ノ赤 [Kumo no ito • oti on akA]
2025.12.31 (KST)
this truly is the limbus company anime
Also I think it'd interesting how the camera rests on the Thumb relative's(?) swords
Just for a second
I wonder if it was passed down to Lei Heng or if it's just something of similar make
whats with the ||beeping in the endshot of the trailer||
I think it's supposed to be like the end of a recording
And then her mother(?) figure appears to have been a member of the pinky and the father(?) is an index member
I like where this is going tbh
Given Ryoshu's low opinion of pretty much every finger so far, they all probably damaged her in some way
Idea I saw for her bad end id
Ryoshu without her fierceness
Someone who submitted completely to her family
And supports finger ids by making them stronger
Instead of being a juggernaut herself
Also so like
Eh, even if Ryoshu submitted fully to the agenda I think it would probably cast her as a murder trance lunatic
This trailer does make me think that Ryoshu’s kid is still alive
Since there’s someone to follow the thread back to her
And it’s framed like a message to her
IS RYOSHU THE KID?! IS RYOSHU PART OF A CYCLICAL THING AND HER KID FACED THE SAME TRIALS AS HER AS A CHILD?! WHY IS SHE THE CHILD IN THE TRAILER BUT ALSO A MOM?!
AAAAAA
We know she still has a kid
But then yah the question is like
What’s going on with said kid
I’m betting she’s going through the same thing too
Being raised by the four fingers
Oh the Pinky is 100% involved
Probably yah
Also man
Now I’m wondering if Lord Horikawa is that index guy we saw at the end?
I for some reason assumed he wouldn’t be a fingers member but yah he could be
Violent, but without that bite of being herself unapologetically
Cycle
The thread seems symbolic of ties
Threads of time, across generations
feels that way yeah
I personally think it's lady opposite to ryo with the pipe and might be the lord(?) but Def more hesitant on the latter part
But I def think it's spoken by the pipe person
The guy at the end doesnt seem to be index
He cycles through all the different fingers
He just does the index first
He do be wearing the index suit with an index badge
He's Index, he's wearing the suit
It's what all the Index guys are wearing beneath their snazzy white cloaks
no it's the index finger every time
he points with the index, then beckons with it, and then holds it up in a "hush" gesture
KJH inventing new Korean hand sign mania to replace the pinch conspiracy with Fandom rabies
Whos the smoking lady then
Ryoshu's mom
I can't wait for our first ID of the canto
Ryoshu's mother and possibly a member of the pinky(?)
Since we do see a ring on a pinky before it cuts to the scene of her mother berating her
Man, assuming the impossible happens and Ryoshu’s daughter survives this canto
What would even happen to her?
I doubt the LCB would be allowed to take her on the bus
Would limbus just take care of her while Ryoshu’s contract is still up?
Its a question of how old the child is going to be
Somehow I doubt Hohenheim is a good babysitter

Don can be both
Ngl part of me thinks they'd be handed to whatever department Ezra and Moses are from
Ezra and Moses adopting a child together…
Pinkie symbolism seems to be directly associated with Ryoshu more than any specific person here
Moses kinda raised ezra already
Ezra, Yuria and vespa have no experience tho
Dias raised Moses
~~Look just let me be a himejoshi and not let reality ruin things
~~
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) Moses kinda raised ezra already
Ezra, Yuria and vespa have no experience tho
Yuria x ezra has grounds
How about yuria x Moses
They’re so cute together…
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) ~~Look just let me be a himejoshi and not let reality ruin things
~~ 📎
Maybe you should read distortion detective
Dungeon
Yuria is funny
I mean yes we should grind out mirror dungeons so we can get Xishmael but that’s not relevant-
DUNGEON
She keeps trying to be smooth and flirty we women
And failling
Then ezra, who has been constantly arguing with her, goes "both of you stand behind me. Worst comes to worst, I'll buy time for you to run"
And yuri is shook
From one line!
Ezra is smooth
I love Erza so much
considering the ||sounds of burning|| immediately before, it sounded to me like a recording ending
I am curious as to what ids we are gonna get introduced to the season with
so gang
Syndicate members?
what are our thoughts on the familiarly shaped Index member
Probably the main villain
Makes sense now why PMoon refrained from introducing the index
If index, not the ring, is actually the main premise of Ryoshu’s story
||i don't think he's roland, but they're making strong allusions to Roland||
does he not? it sounded like the VA to me, with a different cadence
i'm like 90% certain that is the same va
I dunnow
He sounded nothing like Roland to me
Too soft to be Roland’s voice
Reminded me more of Chesed
everyone reacting this way truly only proves how effective Roland's mask was
and just how generic he looks
I think it's just incidental since Roland is mostly an average looking guy by city standards. Also the guy in the cinematic has white hairs
Man, learning that Ryoshu was raised by the finger family polycule makes her comments during canto 7 make a lot more sense
Like yah I see why she doesn’t think highly of more self made families now
I actually think it would be closer to a multi-generational household
Not a polycule
But still, the idea of coworkers or allies being your “family” disgusting her makes a lot of sense of she was raised like that
Ring person seems like a new school
Almost definitely yeah
Middle guy acts exactly like how you'd expect a Dad frim.the middle to act
Oh god ally ricardo for canto 9 would slappppppp
yeah I was gonna say, guess we know now why they haven't shown up yet
Does seem to be where Ryoshu seems to get her thing for abbreviation and reduction?
I do think her capstone ID would also be interesting if she was capable of changing sin affinities based on her team
mhmm
Since presumably she'd embody aspects of all fingers
wjat's also interesting is that
the Ring, Middle, and Thumb carerakers
seem.to be the more. . . close ones
Also I’m really wondering is like, why they’re all unified for this?
The fingers don’t have good relationships with each other
who directly had a hand in her upbringing
Most of them are constantly killing each other
Index and Pinky meanwhile, are much, much more distant and cold
maybe the impressionists, now? the branches we knew of were Fauvists, Cubists, and Pointillists, but that doesn't seem to correspond to any of them
or well
I think it's because Ryoshu might be fulfilling some sort of unifying role (or is possibly being groomed into it)
Index isn't cold, seems more detached
ye
Maybe yah
That Ring member seemed to have no flesh on their hand, or at least the arm
both arms i think
he is a skeleton
They're a prosthetic user
or like
I think
and i mean, after canto 8
I am betting on full body prosthetics
yeah, prosthetically aesthetically a skeleton
probably used their own body for art?
Also like, I’m still wondering who Ryoshu had a kid with tbh
when we meet that Thumb lady
Almost definitely
people are gonna go feral
Yeah, the Five Finger baby-raising project does seem to be something that's persistent. Ryoshu's Pinkymom, Ryoshu herself, and her own child are all framed as essentially living through something similar
Ryoshu is at once returning for her child and is the child returning home
So it seems reasonable that somehow the child as a figure is some kind of unifying force for the Five Fingers
I wonder if the hell screen in this scenario requires all fingers to be present
As for why I have no clue, but knowing PMoon the why of it all will probably be incredibly awful
crack theory I'm trying to call right now even if it's deeply low percentage: ||the 'mom' in the trailer is actually Ryoshu talking to her own kid, not another person talking to Ryoshu||
I actually think it's cyclical yeah
like something tells me there have been many like Ryoshu
btw I can confirm that it shouldn’t be Roland

PMoon is trolling
I mean yeah, that's obvious
we also know that this is the last in a series of family trauma related cantos so I wanna see how PM pulls this off
like i think thatnthere are allusions u can draw bith visually and thematic withnwhat he says
but therenis actually no way it's him
Yuh ik they’re teasing it
Same
We’ll probably see the library sooner or later
do we? there's kind of a big tell in that they changed Meursault's quote to "I killed maman", we may not be off the rollercoaster yet
thematically ||Him talking about how Ryoshu burned his face gives me similar vibes to Roland's anger at angela for what was done to him||
I think the final three cantos will revolve around societal persecution instead
||That kind of simmering resentment for a wrong that you've let fester insidenyou||
My guess is they all received a Prescript
Yah, that would do it
Even sottocapo would obey a prescript
also ngl, the Ring member sounds like they're (using they because the Ring likes being confusing about gender and definitely don't give a crap about norms) voiced by Hong Lu
And would explain why Index is presented as the main enemy
I think it'd be interesting if they were some unknown fourth role
possibly someone that coordinates the other three?
we've never actually seen anything past the three (technically four) roles seen in LoR
and all of the "family members" seem to be high ranking
Based off his suit I think he’s a proxy
The prescript is what coordinates the proxies
nah, messengers wear suits too
the Will of the City guides them
Ah shit
proxies and messengers have the same drip
they don't need further coordination
it's part of what makes them so hard to deal with
Everyone directly obeys the prescript
yeah
Or proxies if you are a proselyte
that's what i'm.thinking
it'd make sense tbh
Could be a weaver yeah
weavers are also probably the least conventional role in the index iirc
but yeah, something tells me Hong Lu's VA is voicing ring for some reason
I can't put a pin in it
just sounds similar
Of the fathers middle guy seem pretty doting and overprotective
Which makes sense I mean
He’s a middle member
I think they all represent different parenting tactics
Wonder if that will finally get Ricardo to back off
Realizing that one of the coupon thieves is a relative of a high ranking middle member
This is how ally Ricardo can still happen…
At least we know now that if you get high enough in the Middle hierarchy proper suits do start showing up
It's not vacation tees and shirtlessness all the way down
What makes me curious is hiw they'll tie this tonthe like
Might just be a quirk of eastern middle
vubes of hellscreen
I think that just has to do with Ricardo's branch of the middle
specifically the theme of like
also I thought they were southern?
perspectives and unreliable narration
Ricardo is from U Corp which is Southern Middle yeah
imagine the Middle member seen is just
john yakuza lmao
I think this is also the canto that'll probably get us a Middle Heathcliff and maybe Thumb Ishmael?
Ishmael interestingly has a Thumb affiliate ID too
I’m hoping for thumb Gregor
part of me thinks Gregor is going to get a Ring ID
Because of the fucked up arms?
plus weirdly the Ring does actually fit his base EGO
I feel like the rings are some kind of weirdo minimalists
but
The rings that raised ryoshu
buuuut
Removing the flesh to reveal true beauty within
||Mirror world version of roland and angelica's son||
this is a hack theory
do not take it seriously
but it made me think
But yeah, idk why
something like that, yeah
But part of me is saying Ring Gregor because of his base EGO
reducing things to their base
similar to Ryoshu's SANGRIA
Yeah
so it would be a minimalist school
Or something like that
do y'all think Ryoshu might have some kind of marking or something on the gloved hand?
Possibly
to represent the Fingers
I’d be shocked if she wasn’t marked
Or it's an allusion to the fact she is the hand that brings them all together
Also it seems like she burned the index father
So it does give credence to the idea she might be hiding burn marks
Maybe she burned over the markings they gave her I dunnow
wonder how she got out of there
she needs to have burn scars so all the hottest art of her by lesbians becomes canon
an extremely long prescript is written on the blade of the sword and if they can follow it they can [reach heaven]
Do you think Ryoshu considers Middle Father to be an embarrassing dad
Do you think he’s gonna immediately dote on her and baby her the moment he sees her again
He's gonna be like that jock from the babysitter horror movies
Who keeps cheering for the mc even when on opposing sides
And congratulates him while dying
I fully expect him to look at us and be like "so you've all been treating my kid well, right?" and imply he'll annihilate us otherwise at the very least
He’ll be having a friendly conversation with us and then suddenly reach over and snap Heathcliff’s neck when he calls out Ryoshu’s bullshit
For being rude
Oh no wait
Ryoshu ran away from home
And Middle has rules against deserters
I think he'd be both hostile and possibly sorrowful over it
Asking why she'd leave her family
Asking why she'd go when he treated her so well
Yeah
Dante presses the red button for ryoshu right in front of her parents
I think his main problem was that he probably ostracized her by accident
somehow
the index always does
it is the Will
of the City
Thumb: Strict discipline
Middle: doting over protectiveness
Ring: brainwashing
Pinky: Externalization of blame
Index: control, loyalty, and obligation
Index father subtly accentuate his connection with ryoshu
Remind her that she did him wrong before
And “gently” reminds her he still has her daughter
To get her to do what he wants her to do
Which is return home
Of the fathers he’s the most uhhh subtly manipulative
And seems to know just what buttons to press
Each of his arguments tugged at values we know ryoshu considers important
Ryoshu has a strong sense of duty, love for children, and a surprisingly good sense of right and wrong
So he reminds her that he is the victim of her actions, that he is owed deference due to paternity, and that her daughter is waiting for her back home
And this kinda stuff is very much index to a T
Because Index’s thing is that they know precisely what to do and say for maximum effect
And that they have perfect knowledge of the content of a person’s heart
mhmm
fucker has a very fucked vibe
which makes me wonder if he's taking the place of thr Lord
Basically he knows exactly which heartstrings to pull
they're doing some abusive oarent dynamic
could be the narrator, yeah
though i imagined the nsrrator as more
weasely
The narrator
Was more of an enabler
A bootlicker
He kept the falsehood of the lord as good
I actually think the Ring would be more interested in showcasing whatever latent talent Ryoshu has
Maybe even like
Grooming her essentially to be a trophy child
It’s more of a philosophical connection between index and the narrative of hell screen
Ultimately index puts forth the idea the individual viewpoints and perspectives doesn’t matter and that holistic collective viewpoint is what is the Truth
But yeah I'm being weird about the Ring one specifically because that does like
Being back some bad memories on my end
I think I kinda meant grooming her to be a trophy child when I said brainwashing
Ahh ok
Like trying to make her learn their artistic philosophy and become an artist etc
Shaping her as according to their vision
Something tells me she had a lot of "after school activities" from the Ring family member
Rather than treating her like a person with agency
I do wonder why she primarily uses ring skills
Assuming she didn’t just directly go to uh
Ring school
They run educational institutions in the backstreets I’m sure
I’d frankly be shocked if they didn’t have some kind of private school for gifted children
I meant that they're the kind of parent to leave their child with no time to really be themself essentially
The kind of parent that loads you up on a bunch of extracurriculars
Yeah
Okay the Ryoshu family freak outs actually makes WAY more sense now that we know family is like a curse for babby Ryoshu
Consider: her traits of loyalty and rank discipline/obeying people stronger than her deferentially were probably taught by the Thumb and Middle people who raised her
What did she learn from the Ring? Aesthetics and self-expression
what did she learn from the Index, I wonder
And her fatalistic acceptance of imminent defeat is probably something she picked up from the Index
ah right
She’s pretty indifferent to the various jobs the Sinners are assigned as well
Really, Ryoshu as a person is someone designed from childhood to be abiding and adjusted to the City as an environment if we are to believe she was raised by these people in this manner
And tbh it shows, she’s the one Sinner who’s ready for whatever her IDs throw at her and never ends up so unable to roll with it that she dies or crashes out
The only ID she kicks it in is more or less fated to end up that way and is pretty collected facing certain death
which one is that? Maidshu?
Yea
huh yeah guess the index does fit
"Guess I'll die"
I really want to get myself a metal 3D print of Hongler’s Guan Dao
Hey
So those characters in the trailer definitely are compressed hopium for more Finger syndicate IDs yeah
Sinners as ryoshu's parents
they were already allowed to be Hong Lu's siblings
why not let the sinners be Ryoshu's sorta-parents
I'm incredibly disappointed by the fact we didn't have any of the siblings as 00 IDs
Or well
I guess cousins?
Relatives?
Same 💀
not as 00s but we did get two of Hong Lu's brothers as 000 IDs
siblings, but yea
wait who's the brother other than jia huan
FUCK you're right
Xue Pan ID when
I hope we get more Jia family hierarch candidates when we get the Nocturnal Sweeping BokGak
But what if more middle IDs
Daddy Finger, Daddy Finger, where are you? Here I am, Here I am, how do you do
10 limbillion more heishou IDs
Man, I know she’s a launch ID
But
I really hate the way Reindeer Ish is animated
I think she’s probably the worst animated ID in the game
It doesn’t help that also her animations are crazy long
Especially her mind whip
Can’t help but agree
Maybe I’m just spoiled by reindeer Hong Lu and Rodya mind whips
But it’s crazy how boring hers is
She barely even moves the staff
She just points it ahead of her
She barely moves the staff at all in her animations
She’s so stiff with it
we only got 1 EGO banner this season right
Two
Arknights collab was a triple ego banner
Oh true
everyone except for Mao Outis and Ram Don
know what fuck it I just want bloise
we bloising it here
Yeye
hrmmm
so it'd be uhhh
NSang - XY
Shi Faust - XY
Twinhook Gregor - XY
Pequod Ishmael - XY
NShu - X
Fullstop Hong Lu - Y
Fullstop Heathcliff - Y
so I need....
450 faust shards, 450 gregor shards, 500 thread
or maybe replace pequodmael with Manager Don next season
Twinkhook Gregor goated?
he's ammo, he's bloise
Ramdon is like okay for sinking
all 3 pierce
But she’s by no means essential
so the other pierce T4 helps him a bit
Real 7th member energy
Well on the plus side
You’re not getting this season IDs
So you can just get them next season
2 weeks
I can probably get at least one
...Kurokumo rodion is bloise...
and she's level 1 so I can use her as ammo
i need to use my shards up
Yup, I ended up uptying a bunch of EGO to UT4 to use them up
i probably should use before conversion but the more shards i have the closer i am to immediate KK Heathcliff so,,
ill just have a billion thread
ok so
NShu will attack the same target as NSang
so funny interaction
NShu and NSang genuinely just jumping a member of your team
Reindeer Rodion needs a hug and a warm mug of cocoa by the fireplace
we need to write a fanfiction of her and her buddies getting to enjoy a nice christmas at base
every time the game pauses slightly in MDE before a question mark makes me so excited
because it's the same pause as before the secret boss pop-up
but it isn't and it's just a tiny bit of lag
Deal but only if you give me a jade eye /j
idk why but the image of verg being a mets fan tickles me
it's not always about the golden boughs danteh
it's about the mets baby! love the mets, lets go! get a home run!
