Okay I Feel Like I've Been Playing This Game And Posting About This Game For Too Long Without Any Sort
Okay I feel like I've been playing this game and posting about this game for too long without any sort of actual opinions so I'm gonna now talk nonsense about The Traitor™
First of all, we know very little about this traitor. We know it's a ghoul, (obviously,) we knew them B4 we met Taiga, Taiga knows we know them, it's been brewing for a while, and objectively that's kinda it. Like that's pretty much all we know.
So, what does that mean? We can cross out Subaru and Zenji, anyone from Obscuary, anyone from Sinostra probably and probably any of the first years too, meaning Sho, Leo, Ren, Ritsu, and Lyca. And Luca too ofc, since he's a transfer. And Kaito. I mean look at him. He's a mess.
Who does that leave? Jin and Thoma, Alan, Towa and Haru, Haku, and Mortkranken.
Yuri has too obvious of a god complex to make him being a traitor creative or a twist at all, and Haru is stretched way too thin for that.
Jin, Thoma, Towa, Haku, Yuri and Jiro.
Jiro seems like he's being held together by a piece of string ngl, and he doesn't seem to be focused enough to make a careful and calculating traitor.
Jin, Thoma, Towa, Haku, Jiro.
Towa, as aggressive as he may have been before as evidenced by his dialogue with Ed, is currently obsessed with love of all forms, cares deeply for Haru, an anomalous dog, and even an anomalous tree. He may be capable of betraying everyone, but it doesn't seem like he would.
Jin, Thoma, Towa, Haku.
Jin is rich, has a powerful Stigma, has status, and clearly is far more concerned about himself than others. On top of that, he appears bossy and unconcerned, with more than enough time to plan traitorous activities. But he's also been seen saving Luca, Kaito, MC, and some random kid, then saving Luca and MC again, then slapping Luca for putting MC in a potentially dangerous position. Also, with how often Thoma and MC enter his room, it would be next to impossible to hide possible 'plans'.
Jin, Thoma, Haku.
Thoma is suspicious, seemingly loyal, regularly has midnight rendezvous with another captain, and wears a monocle. He also has a powerful Stigma, as we have literally seen him use it to level a building. Ngl, he would make a convincing traitor. But there is one more option that seems, storytelling wise, far more compelling.
Haku.
Firstly, he's one of the few people Taiga would know MC knows. He was there when Taiga nearly threw her off the train. And honestly, the fact Taiga remembered him enough to not have to ask who he was is kinda concerning in of itself. What's more is that Haku's reaction wasn't "don't do that, it's gonna kill her" but instead "I don't want to see that, I don't want to have to tell the academy," and "I'm not tryna swipe your prey."
Secondly, what house is Haku in? That's right, Hotarubi. A house for the creative and those value individuality and difference. We know Subaru is an actor, and Zenji plays the Biwa. But what of Haku? To my knowledge, he doesn't have an exclusively *him* artistic hobby. You can't exactly make traitorous plans without a bit of creativity though.
And yes, Zenji does usually follow him, which would usually make it difficult to get plans made, but what do we learn nearly as soon as we walk into Hotarubi? The students there are extremely respectful of others privacy. And with Haku actually being able to see Zenji, he's probably about as easy to hide things from as any other student.
How did Haku act when he saw Lyca stuck in that cell? He didn't seem very surprised. Pretty much the first thing he said was that it could happen to any of the ghouls. He was also the only one to know about the Hotarubi teahouse, is one of two people so far in Darkwick to own a skeleton key, and remind me how he reacted when MC said they need to stay out of trouble for the Gala?
Haku: "So the fate of the Gala depends on whether or not is Ghouls stay out of trouble? Oof."
That alone isn't very suspicious, I mean all the other ghouls get into trouble like it was what they were born to do, but when Zenji says it'll be a paradise in no time, Haku says "Hey now, don't put words in our mouths." Also not too suspicious, but it would be pretty damning foreshadowing.
And what about his Stigma? We still don't know it. All the other ghouls we either see their Stigma in action, know exactly what it does, or just never see/hear of it. It seems pretty pointed that Haku is the only person who MC asks and she *conveniently* gets cut off while asking.
Plus, the juxtaposition of The game starting with Taiga trying to kill MC and Haku saving her, and it possibly ending with Haku being a traitor and Taiga being the only one that knew, would be really satisfying.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something more, and I'll add it here later if i am, but first I have a character design thing about Haku to point out.
Look at these characters' eyes. Look closely. Now this is gonna seem like a bunch of complete nonsense I'm about to say, (stay with me here,) but I'm gonna say it anyway. Firstly, Jiro. Eyebags, rectangular eyes, looking away from the camera, that little highlight in his eyes is very small, and he doesn't seem to be squinting at all. Tired, fairly stoic, non-sociable characters have eyes like that. His eyes are also red, usually a staple for characters that are either seen as dangerous by others or secretive.
Leo, on the other hand. Firstly, the highlight is on the other side of his eye. From what I've seen, the only other character like that is Yuri. By the looks of it, in this case it means a character is shady. Or it means nothing. Case by case. The shape seems fairly ubiquitous, if a bit lidded, but the *color* of his eye? Yellow is the most common eye color for snakes.
What does this mean? On its own, absolutely nothing to do with the topic. This way just a segue into mentioning Haku's eyes.
His base expression alone seems to be of fear. His eyes are sharper than others, both his irises and his pupils are practically needle width, and, much like Leo's, his eye color is that of a snake.
Look at him. His irises don't even reach the bottom of his eyes. He was built to look suspicious and psychotic.
(smth I used to confirm my obvious suspicion ↓)
(I tried to look up stuff about the knot earring he's wearing, I swear I looked it up before and it meant luck, apparently it's a Buddha Knot..?)
I still don't know how to end these, so... Lucky summoning!

Tokyo Debunker EP. 15 spoilers, for the third time.
IVE BEEN MISLEAD.
THE WHOLE TIME.
THEY CONVINCED ME. FOR SO LONG. THAT HAKU WAS THE SUSPICIOUS ONE. Obv he's still extremely suspicious but.
I KEPT FORGETTING ABOUT SUBARU. HE'S ALSO SO SUSPICIOUS.
So. Three suspicious thingamajigs. Maybe four.
One. Violent abuse? Gonna need some elaboration on that. The tree thing? Weird. His insistence on distancing himself from Lyca? Weird.
Two. Hakuuuuuu. Haku. In general, really. So much about Haku. I mean I had assumed he was in either Frostheim or Vagastrom before since he and Tohma had been in the same house before. Obv Frostheim, so that didn't surprise me.
He's so. ???? Like???? Yk what I mean? Haku is so. How to say. Clearly up to something yet charming enough to make it seem unimportant? Hell, not just make it seem unimportant, make it seem like a good thing.
He is suspicious as HELL, he's been pushing Zenji to get famous instead of doing what he enjoys, he's actually been pretty odd about Zenji in general, Rui was oddly cooperative in getting Mao to follow Haku, before saying "some coincidence." After they left. Also he absolutely used his Stigma- whatever that may be- on those two girls, why else would he push for taking a nap?
Speaking of naps- Three, what's up with Subaru? In the beginning of the episode, I mean. I don't think it's mentioned much at all after that.
Four, the wind still wasn't explained. End of the episode and nothing. I think. Maybe I glossed over it, but I don't think so.
Five. I guess there were more than four. Five, I had assumed Jiro was in a coma since the clash bc of some attack or smth, did he, like, try to off himself? Zenji said he didn't want to "miss another SOS" which means either Jiro's chronic illness had been showing signs long before he was in a coma, or the coma was caused by himself.
Anyway, if MC had a year back in September (EP.1) and it's January now (EP.15) that would mean we probably have another 8 months in-game aka (3 eps per in-game month) (3 months IRL per month in game) two years IRL until endgame!
I'm sure there's more mysteries I've forgotten about over the course of playing this episode, but either way, yk.
huge as fuck claims court. im suing you for one william dollars asshole
Precisely.
Hello people I have begun watching GquuuuuuX
So far, I like it. Space criminal lesbians, robot dogfighting, high ass weirdo who somehow got his hands on the biggest fucking plot device ever (that probably has a corpse in it), all in all, very good show.
Though there is one thing I want to talk about.
Episode 2. When the British guy is entering the Gundam.
... Why does the guy in the background slide- he just SLIDES off-screen like one second he's still and the next he's going like 2 mph LEFTWARDS that is absolutely an error but I burst out laughing at the ASCENDING EMPLOYEE
TDK spoilers EP 11 part fffffffive. Not four. Just did four.
Aren't they meant to be subtle? This isn't an Otome game
Aren't they meant to be subtle?????
THIS ISNT AN OTOME GAME!?!?!?
"all I'm saying is-" bro you weren't only saying anything???
Could everyone lay the FUCK off for ten goddamn minutes all this sexual harassment is gonna really fuck up MC's sense of boundaries 😭
Like Towa is fine cuz it's mostly hugs. Taiga is weird but his is intimidation so. Ed is just a fucking creep and the game acknowledges that. Jiro is a nurse so him not seeing it as inherently sexual is fine. WHAT THE FUCK IS LEOS DEAL????
More Tokyo Debunker chapter 15 spoilers. This is the second one ig
Am I going crazy or is Haku talking, like, softer than normal? (I put the 'like' in to clarify that i'm not sure btw.)
Okay that curse mark was absolutely smaller before. Also I love MC I just want to make that clear.
The detail of Zenji not being on the phone? Awesome. And Subaru's so happy!!! He go :D the whole time!
good things will happen 💫
things that are meant to be will fall into place 💫
oh shit, it's 3/21/23, 32123, palindrome day
I'm just Imagining a Tokyo Debunker/Twisted Wonderland crossover au where like.
Everything is already solved, all the over lots n wtv already happened, so at this point it's just kinda. A magic sitcom. Everyone is going about their day. Until BOOM.
MC from Tokyo Debunker drops in. How? Why? I... Haven't decided yet. Maybe her, Luca, and Kaito find an anomalous coffin artifact, and Kaito dares her to get in for a selfie, promising not to close the lid, and the lid just falls on her.
And now, long after orientation day, MC wakes up in an entrance ceremony coffin.
She pushes the coffin open herself, climbs out, cautiously walks around, until she finds herself carefully avoiding bumping shoulders with various students as she steps lightly through the halls of NRC, ever so confused, only responding to the various confused looks she gets by pulling the hood down over her face.
Eventually, she runs into a teacher, and blah blah blah she lives in Ramshackle now. She's just like "why is this the second time I've gotten kidnapped to a magical school and forced to live in a defunct 8th dorm alone???"
As a way to try and find literally any way back, she decides to explore. Out in the school gardens, MC finds...
*dramatic pause as I try to remember where I was originally going with this*
Floyd. She sees Floyd, and thinks 'oh hey, that guy is like a spitting (spinning? Neither make sense hold on) (yeah it's spitting) image of Towa. I know Towa likes flowers, maybe this dude likes flowers :D'
So she picks up a flower, walks towards Floyd, who is currently arguing with Jade about the Mostro Lounge, and taps him on the shoulder.
He turns around (with one of the scariest scowls she had ever seen) and she immediately shrinks back a bit, extending the flower to him.
He doesn't see it, and is just like "the hell do you want" cue little miss Tokutaisei holding the flower in front of her face and slowly extending it out to him. Very scared little fish.
Meanwhile she's just thinking "notTowanotTowanotTowanotTowa this is Taiga this is far more Taiga behavior I am Very Scared™"
Jade is standing behind him laughing into his fist, as Floyd raises an eyebrow and just scoffs or smth. He's like "why would I want some flimsy little flower. Scram." And she just kinda droops her head with the flower, turns on her heel, and books it the fuck outta there.
Meanwhile, back at Darkwick, Kaito is practically pulling out his hair, screaming like a banshee and screeching about how he never should've made that dare with tears poking out of his eyes like "OH MY GOD LUCA I KILLED HER WHAT DO WE DO WHERE IS SHE SHE GONE AND ITS ALL MY FAULT WHY DID I DO THAT WHAT DO WE DO" and just shaking Luca back and forth by the shoulders
Luca, also panicking but more internally because those two are very different kinds of unstable, probably brings out his swords and points then directly at the artifact before realizing that it did NOT just eat her, and it is NOT in fact alive, Kaito still yelling at him going "DUDE ITS NOT A CREATURE BUT BACK THE SWORDS HOW DO WE FIX THIS I MIGHTVE JUST KILLED MC AND YOURE WAVING YOUR SWORDS AROUND WHAT DO WE DO"
Meanwhile (×2) MC is holding back tears of pure unfiltered fear at the near death experience (greatly exaggerated) that she just went through AKA a passive interaction with Floyd Leech
I just needed to vomit this thought somewhere sorry
I'm bored and don't know who else to add to my Scarlet team.
For anyone who wanders across this post, who's ur favorite shiny pokemon? (That I can get in Scarlet ofc. Dlc included.) Preferably something without as many weaknesses as Pokemon has episodes.
Provide ur fav shiny and a name for it and I shall acquire. Maybe. Look, I'm bored, okay?
Tokyo debunker City of Omens Spoilers
HODGE AND PODGE SPRITES!!!
The dataminers were right! It's Elias! Also, I swear "dear heart" is like a poem thing? I might be totally wrong and it might just be another "hehe this is so not an Otome game hehehe" things but I swear it's from a poem. (Also love how Romeo actually DID give more time lolol)
Bro he calls her "kitten" so much I'm surprised no-one else comments on it 💀 like I get "she looks like a scared little kitten" but he hasn't explained that to anyone else, and idk if it's the same in Japanese but in English "kitten" is absolutely a relationship petname???
Lmaooo MC getting harassed about her harem
There is absolutely no good answer to this. Like I assume no matter what you choose, it's gonna choose for u cuz I don't believe games like this usually give you actual agency with choices, but like.
Picking Taiga would (probably) put MC in (at least perceived) danger, and Romeo and Ritsu do not get along.
Picking Romeo would leave Ritsu (responsible but sorta dumb) with Taiga (fucking wildcard, doesn't remember Ritsu most of the time, willing to kill)
Picking Ritsu would probably be the best option, cuz business partners so it's like logically founded, have the Cap and VC room and the business partners room, buuuuut it would also leave Romeo and Taiga in a room alone and they don't get along very well.
I. I don't really know what to pick. For some reason my brain can only register "pick between these three characters for an awkward situation" as "you are being hunted for sport by a field full of disease-ridden rats" pls help
