Re: [1514] "Hard to Explain"

I think what we are seeing is that Miho was a real person but has been corrupted into an Analogue... Unless it's the other way around, or something entirely different. ;) Also exactly so, that's it. Yet whichever way we each see it, it appears it could be a lot of things. Which of them it is, diffi...

Re: [1514] "Hard to Explain"

Ping is... an attempt to substitute whatever Miho actually is (a doomed attempt) Not that Ibara is necessarily correct about his opinion of Ping. Although he apparently knows and seems to have the the demeanor about it; yet also remember Dom rejects Miho as powerless and inapplicable. And not that ...

Re: [1514] "Hard to Explain"

The active listening, "Existing more as a character than a real person." If Miho has been some mystic amalgamation of characters and not really here, that might be what we've been seeing all along. Although the explanation of Analogue has seemed more that other stories, and then the characters in th...

Re: [1514] "Hard to Explain"

Curious. Is this grrrrl serious. Or is it just more testing. If it ever was a test. Well, she ninjagrlll suggests she knows Junpei. Maybe that's not true. If it is, given a lot of other things, she could potentially be Junpei's 'mom who probably knows' or 'grandma who would tease' 1471 Or maybe sist...

Re: Fan-made Summary - Story - chapter 10 : AFK v5.5

Nothing too major except perhaps the timeline of what Piro does and a few other things. Although what Piro finds in the room isn't so much exactly as minor as signs of a physical struggle as if there was a fight. More so he finds no Miho and a broken window., wind blowing, everything knocked over. M...

Re: [1513] - "Play"

Ed gets respawned or cloned, who knows about either Ibara or Dom. But likely they're all as resilient as anything else in MT so far. Yet they are also all three of them hopelessly outclassed by everything else in MT so far. It remains to be seen if Dom's machinations, posthumous or otherwise ;) wind...

Re: [1513] - "Play"

Even if Dom was in charge of the company, and not just a field agent who is being more tactical about it (like by attempting to go behind the scenes as with the game studio etc instead of dealing with ninja or traipsing around the CoE) ? Whatever the case, Dom still ended up at Megagamers not making...

Re: [1512] Which one

But that is specifically Miho's handle, whereas iffy I believe is asking whether it can be confirmed or not that the Endgames character had that same name (or if that is just yet another forum assumption). Not so much asking as pointing out what's likely and fits. That is, our available "evidence" ...

Re: [1513] - "Play"

The look on Kimiko's face in panels 3 and 5 seems somewhat reminiscent of the emotions displayed around 946 and 949. So, perhaps why Seraphim mentioned Asmodeus is to gloat in the whole angel/devil conscience thing sort of way. Not that he ever seemed to do so much as try and generically corrupt Pir...

Re: [1512] Which one

The anecdote I recall (presumably from old forum discussion but I don't remember where or from how long ago, sorry) is that a character would go for years without a name, and then one day Fred would tell the transcript people "Oh, his name is Flabbanabba" Many years ago there was something like tha...

Right now the real thing appears to be playing another character that is interacting with what might be the head of the ninja family.

Last panel of 1210 I forgot she calls him that in 1210 at the end, I remember pointing that out at some time. Still, there is that all caps font thing problem in comic. Although in comic it doesn't look like a 0 to me, it looks like an o instead, but that doesn't prove anything really does it. As f...

It seemed pretty clear Erika was aware of what Largo said to her in clubbing may be required .

Maybe it's just a 'comment here after posted here' outlook, but having a thread here after the 'final official done comic' is posted on the main site seems a good fit.

Blustering about what he would do, while both of them are clearly uninterested in doing anything, and then proceed to do nothing? That's not so informative. We saw the actual behavior though.

No, not all of it was known originally, some was filled in recently.

Someone with unresolved issues of the past or who remembers the good parts fondly doesn't necessarily mean there has to be much more of substance to it all, regardless if they can't let it go or move on fully.

There are a number of those here who believe it's been going a certain way, and it has nothing much to do what we want or not.

If we kinda just look at that situation of bathing with Miho from a perspective of conscience, it enters the conscious mind with a concern there might be an issue of regressing to the calm known past, the already answered and over, but still existing in some ways to go back to. Regret, bothered by n...
