マリッジトキシン

Well, during that fight, there was an implied hierarchy amongst the masters. IIRC, there are 3 (or a small number) of "great" masters, then there are the 'lesser' masters. In particular, the Water Master kept speaking about new 'business' disrupting the stagnant status quo... clearly in reference to herself as a "lesser" master usurping Gero's position as one of the more established ones. Or, you know, a 'new money vs old money' classist vibe. They may both be "Masters," but they are not peers.

I didn't expect I'd like Shiori this much, but so far, she's been pretty solid in this arc. Like, I was thinking Gero would have to save her from Naruko's hallucinations, but even after seeing her dad basically tell her to kill herself , she chose to fight back and tried to escape instead of getting on the noose. It's cool to know that Shiori's uncle learned about Gero from Kitami's review. It sounds like before he found Gero, he had to deal with those two brothers from the first episode . I'm assuming this was before Gero made them consider retiring from the business. Naruko is so goddamn extra. The dude is so confident that he can pull this assassination off without getting close that he brought a massage chair and a barrel to take a bath in was fucking hilarious! Also, the dude literally made a violin using the trees and his hair! I can't wait for Gero to melt that smug grin on his face tho. The more smug the antagonists are, the more satisfying to see their ass get beat.

I don't know guys, but I think Himekawa might have fallen for Gero. That 5 star review "subtly hints" at it. I am surprised that the sound Master is actually this much of a problem. But tbf, I did not expect that he could just make a violin out of a tree and his own hair. I might be excused for not taking into account that he is just built that differently. Though I feel with them facing each other, Gero should have enough chances to get close. Hey, maybe he even hid some actual poison around the area as some form of trap when he made sure the observation via strings was not possible anymore. As for Shiori, I am interested to see if they are finishing her story already next week or if that is going to be a longer arc throughout the story. I at least hope we understand why her father chose her. Considering this is a toy company, I wouldn't be surprised if she is able to take away the fear by them just having fun with the toys. Which would be enough hint for me. Also, one last thing. Gero said that he should be used to holding girls by now thanks to Kinosaki. Now I want a side story where they show Gero holding and carrying Kinosaki as some form of training arc.

That review was written by the fanclub guys. Kitami. He was the same one Kinosaki thanked for the GPS tracker she he placed on Shiori (there was that little cut out thanking Kitami). But otherwise... yeah... Kinosaki already said it: Himekawa was clearly DTF for Gero. I at least hope we understand why her father chose her. Considering this is a toy company, I wouldn't be surprised if she is able to take away the fear by them just having fun with the toys. Which would be enough hint for me. Oh, I like this! Her father chose Shiori because she genuinely likes making people happy. Such as when she used her family's own products in her magical girl act. She may not be a ruthless businesswoman, but she has the right soul for the family business. Unlike the sister that looks like she cares only for profit, and the brother... is a meat head? But Shiori just wants to bring joy into the world. And that's more important than $$$$ Also, one last thing. Gero said that he should be used to holding girls by now thanks to Kinosaki. Now I want a side story where they show Gero holding and carrying Kinosaki as some form of training arc. All while Kinosaki torments Gero by relentlessly flirting with him the entire time. For his training. Yes. Training. It's totally "exposure therapy." And nothing else. He's not having fun teasing Gero... OK, maybe a little a great deal. But Kinosaki totally isn't falling in love with Gero and taking advantage of "training" to enjoy getting closer to him. Nope. Not at all! :p

All of Gero's ratings are going to come across as top tier praise/flirting from all the girls leaving reviews lol. I feel like what Shiori lacks in social experience she makes up for in earnestness and gumption. Also someone who thinks she could pull a Mary Poppins move (plus the magical girl cosplay) might have the sense of whimsy that someone needs to run a toy company. Imagine Kinosaki having him give Kinosaki piggyback rides and Gero getting a lot of thoughts about the feel of Kinosaki's fake boobs.

As for Shiori, I am interested to see if they are finishing her story already next week or if that is going to be a longer arc throughout the story. I at least hope we understand why her father chose her. I think we already saw the reason why in this episode. Shiori may be physically weak, but she managed to break through the sound master's brainwashing and showed off her strength of will. I've really been liking how much Shiori tries for herself to improve even if it's not enough and they could've had Gero save her earlier but I prefer this approach

How the hell did Naruko get a massage chair into a tree? With that chair, bathing in the barrel under the fire and turning a log into a violin the sound master is leaving me baffled. Naruko- “If I change the target now, he might get me from behind instead.” I also hope this doesn’t happen Naruko, not because I want you to win but because you are not the guy I want to see Gero get from behind. Kinosaki claiming he will only get involved and help this time. Sure my guy, everyone knows this is not true, even Gero. Also the moment Gero said he was more used to carrying women thanks to Kinosaki followed by the Kinosaki sticker with him saying I showed him the ropes and Kinosaki panicking when he sees how Gero is carrying Shiro were very cute moments.

Fight between Gero and Naruko did not disappoint, and it seems Bones want to give it the full justice that we're gonna get another episode next week to resolve the battle. Clever thinking by Gero, where if he's unable to take out Naruko's near-invincible sonic wires, he'll just take out the trees which the wires are hanging from. Though Naruko still got one more trump card, his brainwashing skills in mind controlling the class into trying to kill Shiori. Kinosaki has her work cut out for her, every marriage consulting job for Gero has ended up with her also dobling as a pseudo bodyguard for Gero's date. Now Kinosaki has to keep this mind controlled horde at bay until Gero can take out Naruko at last.

I'll be super glad when this fucker's gone* Oh damn, they're gonna trick her into falling for him! They say TV adds 10 pounds, but apparently selfie sticks add 10 layers of eldritch distorsion! Oh no! The suspension bridge effect will make her fall for this thing! She managed to fight back against the control! She might not be as weak as they think! Damn, our boy can't go 2 episodes without bridal-carrying a girl! ...Or a boy. We're even getting a piggyback ri- Wait, what? Is this how first dates usually go?

I love the absurdity of this show lolol like a massage chair and violin strings with his hair?! Hahahaha it’s so fun!!! Def enjoyed this more than last weeks and shiori is starting to grow on me but I don’t see her as a real contender for gero as a partner at this point. I think that’s the last thing she needs and needs to work through all her shit first so I wonder how she’ll be when she comes back!

Wondered how Naruko could get rid of Gero that easily during the selfie. It only dawned upon me at the shrine when then humanoid monster approached Shiori. It's Shiori herself who's been hallucinating all along and we as the audience saw things from her perspective. Naruko's the trickiest opponent so far. Pretty much the entire camp's been under his whole control the whole time. He's also a pretty funny guy with a flair for the dramatic. Sitting on a chair in the middle of the forest while shirtless. Not sure how Gero would overcome him. So far all he'd been doing was reacting. Couldn't turn things around while he's always on the defensive.

I’m currently coordinating my three layered pride braids and the OP has me even more hyped for my June lewk! Pride, trans, and bisexual flag layers with little intersex flag beading! This is exactly why we need to put collars, harnesses, and leashes on men: so we don’t lose them in a dark forest. I feel like gymanists intentionally run like this to freak people out. I’m Mary Poppins, y’all! ☂️ TF does this not shatter your knees? Ooo I thought my squats were murder. Shiorin, girl 😭 I mean same, I’d climb this man like a tree, but girl Why his calves look like they’re being milked like that? You look stupid in cat ears Mfer made this personal. Cat ears make one feel ✨bonita✨ Whatever’s happening to her eyes looks like EDM visuals 10K word review???? sees man tiddies no nipples I know no nipples is The Standard but still 🥀 Wet is a good look on this psycho long haired baddie. Oh damn. He actually does have nipples. I want to show this to violinist friends. Good for Shiorin for using her own strength to bust free. She’s strong in her own way. I appreciate that. Gero looks so pretty with his gas mask and cat ears ☺️ This episode felt quick and now I’m impatient for next week. I have never seen an antagonist just…make a violin that violently before, but I’m always here for characters playing instruments as some sort of power, so why not? I’m curious if they’ll animate him correctly playing violin or not. It makes me extremely happy when characters are playing instruments accurately. I’d like more of that.

This test of courage is tailor-made for improving Gero and Shiori's relationship! She gets to hold onto his sleeve for dear life, Gero gets to reinforce that he's there to protect her and keep her safe so she can have a good time, and they even have an excuse to take a couple selfie. Though nothing kills the romance vibe like everything transforming into a horror movie as Shiori gets chased by Lord Chladni into his temple...where she faces a vision of her father who puts throws the doubts about herself and why her father chose her as her successor at her face in horrifying fashion. All to drive her to kill herself and end her suffering. But Shiori's not a weak Heroine! Trying may be hard, finding friends may be hard, putting herself out there might be hard...but she's going to do it anyway! Because she has the will to live! And jump out of the temple from a cliff where she'll fall to her death! Which might not have been the best idea, but it's the principle of the thing! Shiori is not Mary Poppins, but her boobs DO fall well. And luckily Gero is there to save her when she can't save herself. Water-absorbent polymer isn't JUST for party favors! And Gero is so cozy to koala glomp onto! All that Kinosaki training was worth it! Shiori, the cat headphones are cute, too bad they've been bugged into being another tool for Sound Master Naruko to use to try and make her kill herself. Even her swole uncle is now doubting her while making gains! But while her uncle has had terrible choices in bodyguards up to this point, Gero came highly recommended which just shows how much Shiori's uncle truly cherishes her. Shiori needing to take a minute to reconcile with the fact that the "good guys" had been bugging and tracking her the whole time. With good intentions! Really! Poison vs Sound! Gero vs Naruko! But what can Gero do against the vibing Sound Master and his Super effective sound threads? Especially when they coalesce into one giant Lord Chladni made of sound? Good thing the Poison Master isn't JUST good for poison: he can make trees grow exorbitantly and ruin the sound vibes! Ah, I see. Make all the campers scared to control them and turn them into a mob to sacrifice/kill Shiori. Get her out of there, Kinosaki! Have to say, using a violin threaded with your own hair is...so on-brand for a Sound Assassin.

I was following Naruko's powers for a while: sound waves to cause things to collapse, okay. Sound waves that cause hallucinations and can control people's mind, sure. But what in the unholy heck does creating a giant monster rampaging through the forest have to do with sound!? At first, I thought it might have been a visual metaphor, or another hallucination, but Naruko specifically said about the monster (after Gero immobilized it) "It's not moving? Not even it's legs?" That means it's a real, actual thing. So, how does sound or vibrations do something like that? It's stretching my suspension of disbelief, which is hard to do.

Oh, so he could just have Frieren vs Aura that girl. Gero, just take out this try hard, his power is ridiculously busted for you to be running around. All the masters so far have pretty clear limitations but he is not playing by the same rules. What the hell does sound have to do with mental trauma? I could buy the mental control as power of suggestion and hypnosis, but he is not doing any of that, he is somehow amplifying thoughts, it doesn't make any sense. And how does his sound even reach miles away, even after Gero busted his network of wires? And what kind of sound technique is "make a violin in two seconds"? That's on par with Gero after he uses his ability. And yes, I realize this series is fiction, but suspension of disbelief is a thing and Naruko takes everything way too far.

Still bullshit because vibrating yourself isn't directly tied to sound. Sound is a result of vibration, not the inverse. Physical abilities also have a limit, else Gero wouldn't have to poison himself to fight mobs. Thoughts have nothing to do with sound, the difference is pretty clear. How do you amplify something that makes no sound? What he could possibly be using to do so? Gero can't kill people by amplifying the alcohol people drink, Water Master can't remove the water from people's body. So there is no logic for Sound Master to affect someone without using a tool or something that actually produces sound.

Half your issues seem to be you don't grasp 2 things. It's an anime about a guy who poisons himself to get inhumanely strong, he just fought a waterbender, and obviously the sound guy is going to be just as absurd. And the second is that sound and vibration are intrinsically linked, and all your complaints make zero sense when you remember that. As for the 'thoughts' again, you have no problem assuming a Sound Master could use suggestion, but when that suggestion manifests in negative thoughts when he is shown quite clearly to be trying to make people kill themselves and use literal 'cutting words' you have a problem.

Your issue is that you do not understand what suspension of disbelief is. I can accept the whole bloodline thing because that's what the narrative is about. However, Naruko breaks that logic. "The water master controls water" makes sense even if is nonsense. It is only logical for the water character to use water, arguing against it is just as ridiculous. "The sound master amplifies negative thoughts and cause hallucinations" is not logical, there is a fundamental gap between "sound" and "thoughts", that is why I said it would make sense if he was using a sound frequency to make people suggestive. But that is not the case. The uncle had a one second doubt and somehow he could overwrite his entire mind. How? It just doesn't track, and thus the disbelief sets in.

You do understand every time you are talking about it you are completely removing the part where he is using sound and a state of suggestion to control the other person, and then just saying he controls thoughts, right? Like you are specifically ignoring the part that you said you could buy, to complain that you cannot buy it. The thoughts are relevant because that is clearly adding in the susceptibility to his suggestion. The uncle thought for a second she could go, he mind controlled him, Shiori struggles with self doubt and self worth so she was susceptible to his control and suggestive whispers until she broke out of it. You are literally just flying over the part that explains what you want and just pretending it doesn't exist to complain.

You are the one that is ignoring the fact that he is not using suggestion, he doesn't say anything to the person he is controlling. They specifically say he amplifies negative thoughts. For the uncle, he thought for a second about getting rid of the niece, and that was enough for the sound master to completely override his mind. How does he even knew that the uncle would have that minute of dark thoughts? How does he amplify only negative thoughts? How does sound create a golem? The fact that these questions pop up but we didn't ask the same about Gero and Water Master is exactly the issue. If you don't understand that, then there is nothing else to talk about.

He's a sound master, he is using sound to manipulate them. Again, the thing you said you could buy without any problem. The Uncle had the thought, so he was susceptible. The kids are panicking about the legend of Chaldri or however it was spelled, so they're susceptible to trying to sacrifice one of them. Shiori is filled with self doubt and low esteem so she was susceptible to nearly killing herself. etc etc etc. At least you finally asked about the Golem, which is what you should be complaining about. But also Sound, vibration, binding things together, it's well enough within the realm of possibility. Just like how the patterns on the masks and eyes are actual patterns you get when you have sand vibrating to certain frequencies. You should be asking the same about Gero and the Water Master, but you aren't. There's no reason any of this is more or less believable than someone generating and controlling water. The only reason you think that is because that is a more common ability. It is still equally as absurd.

Random Thoughts I remember watching the Water Master episode and thinking "Man I hope this character doesn't get offed, because I would like to see more of her". But man...Screw this sadistic piece of trash. I don't care how much aura farming the guys does, psychologically torturing our poor little target of the week is a step to far. I hope Gero literally melt's off that smug smile on his face. I guess my theory that Lord Chaldni or whatever was connected to the Sound Master and the source of his power were wrong...rather Lord Chaldni was invented by the villain and has properties of him thanks to its origin. Although...damn that was a tonal shift there...episode went pure horror for a short bit in the beginning.

Yo what in the heck is going on with these Masters in this universe. Not only does the poison Master have just about any toxin that you can view he also has any potion he should be just be called potion Master to be honest. And don't even get me started on the Sound Master he vibrated his hand so fast from whistling that he was able to use it to cut down the treeAnd don't even get me started on the Sound Master he vibrated his hand so fast from whistling that he was able to use it to cut down the tree and make a violin and then use his hair as the violin strings for a weapon WTF.

Hmm mostly I need more scenes with Kinosaki. Kind of disappointing they've been shortening/cutting scenes with him in it. I like all the girls but I think Shiori just feels a little young (?) for Gero though there's no big age gap & they both lived kinda solitary lives. I dunno what the right word is sorry but I love her character, how she could think while falling and tried something. Not to mention super cute.
