@GhastownNow@plumbfold Yeah, but he wasn't joining the evil secret society for that. He was asking the Riders for that power. Shigeru is the only one that just outright pretends to join something like "Black Satan" to gain the power he needed.
@Vivkaisser I don't think it's necessarily 300:1. Around this same time in the manga, it was stablished they had been observing Earth for years before meeting the Hinata family. It's just 1 year since they had met with the Hinata, not 1 year since they left Keron.
@TatooineSons Luke Skywalker from TLJ is a nothing character. The youth that broke from Jedi conventions to save his father now turns out to be just another traditionalist Jedi that failed just like the traditionalist Jedi before him. Hey, but look at our new spunky jedi that won't fail!
@KaikiWexler Also, regarding that village, there's a side-story R07 wrote for the manga releases called Nekogoroshi I really wish had been integrated into the VN, since it goes more into its backstory and gives more fair foreshadowing for the whole gas storage set up.
@KaikiWexler They were hiding in an abandoned village near Hinamizawa. Shion was never there. And regarding Oryo, it's that whole thing about acting like they're in control all the time. She says things that kind of imply it's all according to her plans, but it's just saving face.
@KaikiWexler Yeah, it's unrelated and actually gets in the way of their plans. Don't your remember the TIP at the end of Tsumihoroboshi with Akasaka visiting Hinamizawa? There was no dam. Someone must have had this same idea though, because it was used in the now dead Higu Mei mobile game.
@aynlander@oro_stsk Super Robot Wars Y adapts Arc's story and then continues with an original take on what happens after Saint Dragon appears. It doesn't cover the 2nd cliff hanger the anime added though, just resolves the original cliffhanger.
@KaikiWexler There's no problem with cracked fragments, it just marks the ones you've tried already. if you read the correct ones they'll still open later when you click them. And, yeah, just read the text bellow them and you'll find fragments without requirements where you can start things.
