Hi! I’ve been looking for the name of a set with the brothers facing mirror versions of themselves with masks? I was wondering if you’d know what I’m talking about

Thank you !

Hmmm.... are you sure you aren’t thinking of the “Another One” set from the now defunct Pazzmatsu? These guys?

I always liked them a lot, too!

Hello there! Just a curious one wanting to ask, and it’s completely fine if you don’t answer: Does the Japanese translations confirm anything on the name of Jyushimatsu’s girlfriend? Because there are a lot of people who go back and forth between Homura-chan and Kanojo-chan. I thought that maybe her appearance (and in this case, her name) in the game would confirm the name that the staff have actually planned for her !! Thank you so much! Stay safe and have a wonderful day!

No, unfortunately the translations don’t confirm a name for her. She’s always been called “Kanojo” in Hesokuri Wars across all of her appearances. I personally don’t think staff has any plans to ever name her, though I have always been fond of the fandom nickname “Homura-chan” because it’s a cute takeoff from “home run”. Heehee.

Sorry if that answer disappoints you, but maybe season 3 will surprise us? Stay optimistic!

Pls I want to hear your arguement for how each instrument is sexy

Strap in kiddos, former symphony kid comin’ through.

I would hope that the piano is pretty obvious. Folks have been banging out moody jams on the piano since the dawn of time. It’s romantic, it’s versatile, it has a reputation (much like the sax and acoustic guitar). You can’t tell me if someone didn’t sit down and serenade you by their piano you wouldn’t wanna lay all over it and get lost in it, dreamy sigh and all.

The sax... damn, now that’s a saucy woodwind. It has a “husky” sound that just lends itself perfectly to jazzy bedroom jams (especially if it’s a tenor sax). I will say though, it’s the kinda instrument that can honestly only sound hot in really skilled hands. It can sound like squeaky trash in the wrong hands. So you better be confident if you wanna slay someone with the sax.

Bass guitar is... wew. People like to overlook it for the electric guitar but you can’t hit those twangy, low ‘n deep sounds on it. All of your favorite sexy jams have a talented bass to add some depth, I promise you. Also, someone with the fingers to slap like crazy on a bass is probably sick in the sack.

Double bass is much the same as bass guitar in that it’s about low and deep, it’s about giving depth to a song. String instruments in general are crazy versatile when it comes to establishing mood honestly, whether it be a violin, viola, cello, etc. In all honesty I think a top tier bass player outranks even a top tier sax player. Also, the innuendo. You got that big ol’ thing between your legs? Skillfully running your bow over it? Heheheh.

Look I can’t really argue for the drums but someone with the energy to play them and play them well is probably a lot of fun in bed, so that’s something to consider.

The trumpet as a brass instrument is also something that adds color to song across many genres. Takes a lot of muscles in the mouth to crank out those higher notes. A lot of Latin and jazz music, well known for Mood, take advantage of trumpets and brass sections in general for that added oomf. Trumpets have FLAVOR. They may not seem traditionally sexy but you can’t count them out.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I'm curious, are there any other aus the mods would like to see get more attention?

I’m personally a big fan of the Franken-NEETS, I think they’re a really underrated 3* set. I like their designs and their story is just so so sad. I’d be interested to see what a 4* set of them would be like and how much further they can push their story.

I think at this point everyone knows I want more of the Princes. I know they have 3 separate sets, but listen, if the Romantic Mystery boys can get like 8 billion sets, then I don’t really see what the problem is. Besides, I can’t exactly find that much art for the Princes, so I honestly think they’re a little underrated, too.

But I guess I’d also like some Phantom Thieves. They need a 4-star set already.

I’ll second the Franken-NEETs! And add in the zombies and haunted house and all the other horror-themed sets. There’s so much to do and reference with all of them that could be so much fun! I love the vampires a whole lot, but I’d like to see the love spread a little more evenly with the other classic monsters in the game with only 1-2 sets so far.

concur with other anon: that noir choro is DANGEROUS. I had to viscerally remind myself of his personality and that's not working for long

It’s okay. Give into the green man. Embrace him. Love him. Cherish him.

hey mods i just wanna know... WHAT'S UP WITH HIJIRISAWA SHONOUSKE??? why are there so many of him when they're all the same functions and looks in the game??? why is there so many hijirisawa shonouske???

Because he’s FUNNY anon, don’t you like having many many many copies of one dude taking up your collection and they all do the same thing? Because I sure do.

(But in all seriousness it’s precisely that, just a big joke haha.)

(They’re also not really Shounosuke, they’re his 16 brothers that were added on one April Fools’ Day)

I hate that they're all hot playing instruments

I know right especially since I can personally argue why each instrument is sexy.

In the new Phantom Thieves set it says they are all being bodyguards for (one) kid Totoko. It's in the twitter posts if you click "translate this tweet." Also a user on twitter (jozu63641680) pointed out that the way the art is arranged is a reference to the covers of a manga called "Papa Told Me." Just thought I'd mention that since it popped up on my feed too.

Well there you go!

Honestly the Twitter posts are as usual kinda vague. The posts just say they’re each “protecting a little lady;” I think “bodyguard” is too specific a word to draw from that alone.
