@dingofrumbus@marupan_desu 'Cuz they ARE Lightners, technically. They're plants, which are living beings! They say that the Dark World simply allowed them to have a higher form of consciousness than they normally would have.
@xtaxeii@SaDNub_ @jjk_dose Due to the way reinforcement works if he went out of his way to fully incarnate he probably would've won the domain clashes due to better h2h.
A good chunk of the fight was Sukuna messing around with his new toys (10S) in an attempt to make his REAL weapon (Shrine) better.
@DepressedJair@Tristan49401181@ChocoExplsn@crimsonbarista IIRC, Blackwhip is the only quirk that would actually need a cover, and you could easily claim it to be an example of him "catching up" to everyone else and realizing how to use his quirk by externally projecting the energy he stockpiles, rather than just using itself to buff up.
@DepressedJair@Tristan49401181@ChocoExplsn@crimsonbarista While stockpile certainly wouldn't be able to explain the later stuff like dangersense or fa jin, by the time those were readily being used, the cat was already out of the bag and it really didn't matter if people knew.
@Tristan49401181@ChocoExplsn@crimsonbarista Make up some explanation about how Deku always had it, but it was so weak due to having nothing stockpiled when it first manifested that it didn't do anything, and he just never activated it later in his life until the entrance exam.
@Tristan49401181@ChocoExplsn@crimsonbarista It's the combination of a quirk that stockpiles strength, and a quirk that allows you to give your quirk to other people. That latter half just happened to also pass on the quirks of everyone who ever wielded it.
A better guise would have been just calling it Stockpile.
@BlendSequencer@Isidor3132@AquaticFlapper I have, as of typing this, four entire black boxes that go out of their way to include some sort of line about survivors saying "THE FLARES AREN'T WORKING."
As a player who didn't know any better, I'd probably assume that means "the flares don't work."
@BlendSequencer@Isidor3132@AquaticFlapper Personally, I agree that the player shouldn't have accessible ways to kill or defeat the threats placed in the world (Warding them off is a different thing, obviously) but I wanna chime in with this:
@WoodsMoss25031@IncroyableSauce you are LIVING in a reality where gojo lost and verbally admitted in the afterlife that sukuna was holding back, and even implies that he probably would have won even without the ten shadows.
@DunnoDoctor@p1nkch4n To be fair, the UK battle was won ENTIRELY, and the winner even admits this to themselves, because they just got lucky and a one-in-a-million scenario occurred that fucked Kars over.
Maybe Araki was onto something with that whole "Calamity" thing, huh?
@AnteaterAshley @sburbanon i suppose you'd still have to worry about meteors that are on route, but sufficiently powerful players shouldn't have any problem stopping them (particularly those of the Space aspect)
if you're worried about the miles;
you killed the king, you can absolutely kill the queen.
@AnteaterAshley @sburbanon sburb veteran here, while the game likes to pretend that you're still on a timer, as long as you go out of your way to confiscate the kings sceptre, nothing can call any additional meteors to the battlefield unless they take them from you.
@its_clover2 @WikiOoc perhaps you could argue 11 to be two separate ones? and then you could attach one of them to a zero.... possibly the zero in 420? and the remaining 42 references the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?
much to think about.
