The Hundred Line is, of course, a unique game. I’ve never rooted so wholeheartedly for the antagonists, felt such relief when the kindest and sweetest character dies, or considered bad endings to be good ones.
Seriously, though, why the hell are we playing as the most blatant metaphor for fascists that could possibly pass Western censorship??
LMAAAAOOOO why THE FUCK am I playing as a SchutzFUCKINGstaffe member and having to listen to excuses for genocide the whole fucking game?!? LooooL
I liked some of the routes in this game and the concept behind the "canonical" route if only it had ended with Rebellion (because I just can't bring myself to agree to commit a fucking holocaust even in a game lmao) and been completely rewritten by a normal writer.
Eito's a cool character, but how the fuck did he manage to fall in love with a moron like Takumi??
The game's fanbase on Reddit are fucking aliens, I don't get what's going on in their heads lol
No, I really do love Eito. Takumi doesn't deserve him. Do people even ship him with anyone else???
For fuck's sake, two women who look exactly the same “Oh, I didn't know you were sisters.” Bitch, seriously?!!
Nirvana’s initiative is killing me. This storytelling is about to make my kidneys fail.
Yeah, I know it turned out that the whole game was just a fucking illusion, but maybe they should’ve written a decent script instead of just justifying all the plot holes and coincidences by saying that none of it was real anyway???
And it would have been better if the real ending had shown how Ryuki escapes from this simulation, rather than just be like “Everyone's alive, but it's all fake lol enjoy!”
I absolutely hate how, in the epilogue, Yuichi can’t overcome his guilt to the point he is ready to abandon his friends. And he also becomes a vigilante of all things.
At first, it seemed to me that this meant Yuichi would eventually succumb to his dark side, because he already considers it his true nature and refuses to believe otherwise, and the absence of friends by his side and stressful situations will only exacerbate this, and for the sake of punishing one bad guy, he’ll sacrifice innocent people (because we haven’t seen him use methods that are completely clean and don’t harm those around him at all).
But now I think he’s would also end up hurting himself. He’ll seek redemption through death once again, since his relationships with his friends (if they haven’t already fallen apart) are clouded by guilt.
Tomodachi Game....
I liked the manga’s overall premise and the main character, but something went wrong starting with the zombie island arc, and then it started to really annoy me how the manga tried to make me blame a kid who was totally dependent on his father and mother figures for the mess that was created by fully aware adult men.
I feel like I can't interpret it the way the author intended?? Are you supposed to trust the text more than what’s shown through the events and illustrations??
Like, sure, Yuichi makes some scary faces, but he cares about his friends and shows mercy even to his rivals, and he’s only cruel to the absolute scum. But the text says “Ooooh! He’s eeeevil!” And so I’m supposed to think of him as evil??
As a child, he’s portrayed as smart and talented, but dependent on his father and mother figures (like, you know, a normal kid). I’d even say that young Yuichi is more dependent than the average child of his supposed age. And his “villainous traits” are deliberately cultivated and encouraged by Shiba, who is the one who carries out the Tomo Dachi Game. But the text says “Yuichi was evil from the start!" and "He’s actually to blame for all of Shiba’s crimes!” And why on earth should I blame a child for the cruelty and corruption of grown ass men? I just don’t get it at all.
“He was betting on both betrayal and trust at the same time.” But in reality, most of his strategies are based on absolute faith in his friends: that Tenji won’t give up, that Yutori will do what she believes is best for him, that Shibe will come to a woman’s aid, and that Shiho will act in accordance with her own sense of “justice.” I never once got the impression that he could choose anything other than his friends. So instead of looking at things from Shiho's perspective and wondering if Yuichi betrayed them or not, I see Yuichi's friends as idiots and traitors (also they are so useless).
“Oh, he’s ready to kill such-and-such” He’s not ready to kill anyone. He shot a dangerous jerk, but managed to maim him so weakly that the guy quickly regained consciousness. And during the coin toss, when winning would have meant he’d have to kill someone’s kind caring father, his hand wavered. And this despite the fact that originally he wanted to win, otherwise Satone would have seen right through him.
And that "brilliant" ending. Why were all the problems swept under the rug? Why did we spend so many pages dwelling on the conflicts between the friends and how they were losing their minds, but weren’t shown how they healed and mended their relationship? And why are there no negative consequences for anyone except of the main villain? Maria isn’t in jail and Kokorogi isn't in a mental hospital??
And the epilogue... Yuichi is still unstable and ready to run away from his friends?? The one and only image in the last chapter hinting that they’ll patch things up, and then it all goes to hell? Then, didn't the manga itself criticize vigilantism, but now Yuichi is a vigilante himself?? Second, having friends in the game directly affected Yuichi’s results, and still his methods were quite questionable, with stress making them even harsher. Yuichi, who is ready to abandon his friends because he “isn’t worthy of being with them,” is a danger to civilians more then bad guys is a danger to himself actually.
Tomodachi game chapter 125 spoiler
He who'd go against the world to save his friends
His friends who don't deserve it at all💔
I liked the concept behind Tomodachi Game, but... I think, author’s morality is a bit off. The main character was groomed to be a criminal from childhood, but despite that he values his friends above all else and tries not to go down the wrong path. He lets himself be beaten, humiliated, and hated to protect his friends, but the other characters constantly go on and on with “he’s eeeevil, oh look what a villain he is,” and apparently we’re supposed to think of him as a worst person in the manga just because of that?? And all the sins of the other characters, including the adults who are fully aware of their actions and are driven solely by greed, are swept under the rug (except for the arc's antagonists sometimes). Even the game administrators and the guy who views women as property are portrayed as good guys who deserve a happy ending in the epilogue.
I really liked the first two-thirds of the manga, but then it felt like the editors insisted on adding more popular elements and a more conventional protagonist.
God, how I wish more JRPG protagonists were like Haseo, yelling at annoying idiots and telling damsels in distress to stop playing the victim...
Bitch, I'm saving your shitty world, so be grateful that I found the time to complete your stupid useless side quest instead of going straight to the story marker and leaving your helpless ass here alone!
I play almost exclusively JRPGs and now that I've started a new one, I understand why I started to like Endrance/Haseo pairing so much when I replayed G.U. recently. Well, besides the fact that I unironically believe that Haseo would be most comfortable with Endrance. This type of character, a handsome gay or bisexual man who hits on the male protagonist or central male character, is sometimes found in other games too, but usually the object of his affection immediately rejects him. I expected Haseo to do the same, especially given his temper. But to my surprise he didn't reject Endrance, treated him kindly, reacted calmly to his confessions without any “you got me wrong” or “I’m not like that”, and the game even allows you to return his feelings.
And it's surprisingly easy to ship Haseo with Endrance. Haseo doesn't show any active interest, of course, but the game doesn't put any obstacles in the way of this pairing either. Ironically even the terrible way “romantic” storyline with Atoli is constructed works in favor of Haseo/Endrance pairing: Haseo suddenly decides that Atoli is cute only after Endrance “betrays” him, but after his return he becomes indifferent to her again. Of course, why would you need a cutie when a beauty has returned to you lmao
Everyone talks about how Haseo grows as the story progresses, but I like that all the characters gradually start to behave more maturely. Usually, in stories about the redemptive journey of the main character, only the main character is portrayed as flawed, while everyone else is perfect and doesn't need to change. But not in G.U. Everyone gets better, thank god, and in the end we don't have a situation where everyone is still annoying and it's just that Haseo has learned to tolerate them.
I also like that Haseo himself is portrayed as essentially a good person, just with a rude attitude, so everyone who gets to know him better and starts to see through his tsundere behavior ends up liking him.
Been replaying .hack//gu and back to being obsessed over Endrance like I was when I was like, 14 or something. Got compelled to draw his irl version based on descriptions from the game.
Guy is a 20-year-old hikikomori who lives with his parents and makes The World his whole personality.
I didn't like Endrance at first, but now he's my main waifu. Now I look at the characters in the game completely differently than when I played it for the first time and I understand him better now.
Judging by his responses to the greeting cards, the mere presence of Haseo in this world has a positive effect on his condition, and he has progressed from “I'm afraid of what will happen if The World disappears and I lose my connection with you” to "even if The World disappears, I will never lose you“ at the end of the main game and ”I don't regret that The World will soon cease to exist because I met you" at the end of vol. 4. So I think he'll be fine, and the endgame Haseo is not the kind of person who would abandon a friend.
I played .hack G.U. I really like the game. I really dislike everything else.
Why bother declaring all the additional material “canon” if it doesn't fit with the original: events are rewritten, characters' personalities are changed... Whyyyyy???
Why do you need a bonus novel about the characters if the characters in it are either reduced to a single trait or turned into completely different people compared to what we see in the game? What's the point then? I don't understand...
Why include Atoli/Haseo in the novel and drama CD prequels to vol.4 if their relationship in vol.4 itself has been made more neutral (which is logical, given the possibility of “marrying” other characters at the end of vol.3)?
I'd rather consider fanfics to be canon or come up with my own ideas...
This line that he said in .Hack, was probably one of the biggest indications that he realizes his obsession with Haseo has to be held back/worked with. In fact he may be obsessed with Haseo, but he understand his obsession and understands that only if Haseo himself *depending on what you choose to respond with* reacts to his advances positively, should he himself show his feelings towards Haseo more. He doesn’t wish to control his relationship with Haseo, he wishes to move forward with Haseo for whatever is best for the both of them.(and yes he went a little crazy at their wedding if you got it, but he was letting his eccentric side out, and to get that wedding you had to have encouraged Endrance from Haseo) Endrance/Elk may have the flaw of being obsessive over people, but at least he learns how to deal with his obsession in a positive manner. THAT was his major character development, learning how to live with his obsessive nature around certain people who he cares too much about. Because you know what character development is? Learning about the flaws of that character and the character not changing who they are but rather learning how to live with their flaws, and move forward as themselves.
"only if Haseo himself reacts to his advances positively, should he himself show his feelings towards Haseo more", "yes he went a little crazy at their wedding if you got it, but he was letting his eccentric side out, and to get that wedding you had to have encouraged Endrance from Haseo"
That's why based on his behavior in vol.4 I consider the wedding with Endrance to be canon for PS games universe and no one can change my mind!
This guy........
I'm in love with him.....I think I've decided this run and who Haseo will marry.......this fucker. Unless Ovan blows everyone out the water!!!!
Rewatching and replaying titles that I liked 15-20 years ago (the same with new ones though), I began to notice that now I ship the main character with those characters who love them unconditionally and say so directly, without any tsundere bs or something like that.
It's probably old age I don't know lmao like I look at such characters and think “well, this one will be the most unproblematic spouse.” Well, the word “unproblematic” doesn't quite apply to Endrance though lol, but he turned out to be not as creepy as I remembered... I mean he's not jealous of Haseo, he doesn't try to change him and doesn't consider him perfect, he just expresses his feelings too openly lol
Like no one is ever gonna deny that Haseo is a huge douche!
But like I’m glad Endrance came along to tell people “whoa wait he’s right about this one guys. Don’t let your preconceived opinions get in the way”
Cause like Kuhn and Pi sure do love to automatically jump on the “shut up haseo train” even when he’s right lol
I loved how, near the end of vol 2 when Atoli is being all damsel…..as usual….not too keen on her…anyway, Kuhn is all like……no Haseo, you’re wrong with what you’re saying about her redeeming herself, having to make up for what she did and she isnt just a total damsel and Endrance just goes……I get what you’re saying but, Haseo is 100% right.
For all his flamboyancy, Endrance gets what’s up and said what I was thinking.
Evidence of "Hikaru's" Real Form...
Between the anime and manga, there's a lot of evidence of what "Hikaru" really looks like. I thought I'd compile some screenshots, as we almost certainly know his real form. Spoilers for anime from episodes 1-11 and manga through chapter 39.
