Welcome To Tokyo Debunker, The Most Inclusive Game Out There! (/J)

Spoilers through EP. 6 of Tokyo Debunker!!

Okay. Wow. Hm. First of all

Love how they actually stand up for her LMAO.

Second of all, TEN MONTHS??? she only gets ten. Months. R U KIDDING.

Third of all,

Is she okay??? Is this gonna be a reoccurring thing from now on??? Is it bcuz she was thinking of Kyklos? (Just realized they never said the name yet in-game, ngl I skimmed the wiki a bit B4 playing. You'd think I'd know what happens in the story, but somehow the wiki contains very few spoilers.)

Also,

This is cute. This is adorable. AND HE BIT HIS ARM SO SHE COULD GET AWAY! Curious as to how he didn't get injured from that, but still.

Also, little bat Ed.

Second appearance of Bat Ed. I feel like a kid at a candy store rn with these silly little goobers and all the loreee.

Not liking Darkwick recently. Seems, uh. Seems pretty corrupt. Ngl. Not a fan.

:3 aw. Tokutaisei; The Ghoul Tamer! Best there ever was.

Also liking the funky little outfits they show up to the Chancellors office in. Look schnazzy. Just realized I've never actually seen that word spelled out before.

"not compatible" my ass. MC is gonna compatible the FUCK outta those ghouls.

"humans and Anomalies are not compatible" I know it's only been like half an hour since I played this part but I JUST got what he meant by that within context.

Stay close to the ghouls if u turn *because you would be an anomaly, and thus not compatible with humans.* I'm so dumb.

Though I can't believe Ed actually thinks humans and Anomalies aren't compatible. Have you *seen* some of the shit humans have domesticated?? They got elephants and whales doing tricks, anomalies are nothing. And Ghouls are still just special people!!

Also love him practically blackmailing the Chancellor.

One more thing!

There's no way that works. We got a week until Episode 14 drops, there's no way this isopropyl alcohol does Jack shit. Not a chance. Love that they gave the mad scientist a DNA earring tho.

Oh yeah, and happy Subaru's Birthday everyone! Apparently he literally won an award for his acting before. I would attach that screenshot too but the app only allows ten 😞

Just watched a team-building tutorial for Tokyo Debunker. Pls help.

Turns out, before watching that, I made possibly the worst choices for which character cards to level.

... I chose debuffers. That need to die. To debuff. I'm gonna jump- IM AT LEAST 200 LIMIT BREAK FRUITS IN THE HOLE AND I DONT EVEN *KNOW* HOW MUCH EXP FRUITS, IM GONNA JUMP

@celestialholz hey, I got some Applin Chaos for you. Surprisingly, it does not feature our favorite art husbands.

Ahem.

OH KIERAN FANS, DO I HAVE NEWS FOR US

Show of hands, how many of us know about Applin? Y'know, this little creature.

Little apple dragon, we first met them in Galar!

And they have a STORY there in Galar! One that our lovely Meta Queen CelestialHolz has analyzed to the distortion world and back, because of Hassel and Brassius.

Basically, the story is Give an Applin to the one you love, you'll be together forever.

Now, I COULD talk about how that relates to the fact that Hassel has a Flapple, meaning he HAD TO HAVE GOTTEN AN APPLIN SOMEHOW

BUT THIS AINT ABOUT THE ART HUSBANDS.

This is about Kieran!

So, those of us who have played Indigo Disk may know that we can invite characters to our club room and eventually trade Pokémon with them!

Why is this important to Kieran, you may ask?

WELL, DEAR READER!!! LOOK AT WHAT HE GIVES YOU WHEN YOU GET TO TRADE WITH HIM!!!

MOTHERFUCKIN

APPLIN

So, people who suspected Kieran has a crush on the player character? Here you go, here's your proof.

Have fun with analyzing this, Celestialholz!!!

Y'know what I'm gonna just-- @kitakami-kid HEY COME LOOK AT MY KIERAN AND APPLIN ANALYSIS

So! Today's an eventful day!

Firstly, we got ourselves another Reacher episode.

Secondly,

Madoka Exedra came out/comes out today.

Thirdly,

The Caleb myth in Love and Deepspace.

And, last but not least,

The new Tokyo Debunker episode!

I've noticed, like, once every month or two, there's a one or two day period where pm everything updates at once lol. Pretty fun.

Yk I've decided to just NOT read(?) svsss and instead to try to piece together the plot through Tumblr posts.

This is a very funny start.

Imagine you got bullied as a kid so to make up for that insecurity you became a super successful alpha male grindset influencer and then one day you got pushed into a portal and found yourself in an alternate universe where you're a malewife who married your old bully. That happened to Luo Bingge

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 ↓)

How to characterize characters according to their type of eyes by FUKURÔCómics - Make better art | CLIP STUDIO TIPS

Have you noticed that the manga characters that you read often are very expressive and that at a glance you can deduce what character they h

(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!

Make Gijinkas. Life is good.

Oh shit, just realized

New addition to the "MC of story-driven game doubles as nuclear bomb" group

LADS with the aether core

Obey Me MC needs the ring, otherwise she blows up like everything

Stelle/Caelus in HSR with the Stellaron (?) (been a while since I played that one)

Possibly TWST cuz Grim is kinda an extension of Yuu and he's sorta a ticking time bomb for overblot

And now, TDBK MC! She's basically a bioweapon with a countdown clock. When her time is up, she goes Kyklos, and might attack a ton of DA students and make THEM Kyklos, and over and over, basically Armageddon

TOKYO DEBUNKER EP. 10 SPOILSSS

First of all, I like the detail that after obs and MC join the roster, the numbers of maids and butlers is even again. It goes from 5-3 to 6-6.

Once again, the only reasonable and normal person in Obscuary.

Lmao I love the group dynamics. This game has the funniest dialogue I swear.

"which one of these is a shirt-"

"ah, Egyptian cotton. Hm? Oh I have no clue how to put it on, I swear-"

"I'm not helping you get dressed, dude, if your arm falls off in here it's gonna coat everything in blood. And normal reasons."

Hey, so yk how I said this game treats MC like a precious stone? A long time ago? Well I was so totally right by the way. Just thought you should know.

Okay yeah that's not creepy. "Seems easy to me, what's the problem?" The problem is that they're probably only hiring because their staff is full of sacrifices, Lyca. That's why the pay is so high. Because they literally don't have to pay you after you get eaten by ghosts or some shit.

"Worried about the others? Hm, I wonder which one has your heart..."

"uh, what do you mean..?"

*cue chainsaw noises, plates breaking, cat hisses, general cartoonish commotion from Rui and Lyca's side*

Tune in next week, for the next episode of "Kidnapping Victim and her Supernatural Harem (try to) do Menial Chores for a Sting Operation"
