Neither. Freiren has impenetrable plot armor, and Nezuko has impenetrable merch armor.
They’d probably end up teaming up, or in a lesbian scene.

Going back a couple of episodes, it just occurred to me where I heard the “Ventura, ventura, space people” chant before:
In an episode of 80s Urusei Yatsura:

This is from the a dubbed version, but it’s the same thing in the original Japanese.
According to a reddit post, it came from a Japanese UFO society …kookscience.com/…/Cosmic_Brotherhood_Association…

I had hoped that the humans of the 25th Century Federation had evolved or developed educational, political , and other social systems to where this wasn’t a problem anymore.
Kind of like money.
Otherwise, there will always be a dark undercurrent of prejudice and hatred in all human dealings, and maybe the Romulans, Klingons, and other antagonistic spacefaring civilizations are justified in not wanting to deal with a human-led Federation.

Voyager seems to work fine with the newly migrated communities.
Try !television@piefed.social for example.
Unfortunately, adding a piefed user account doesn’t work because Vger fails at the capcha step.
So register at a different Lemmy instance, and access piefed communities.
- Comment on What if you literally had all the money in the world? 3 weeks ago:
Depriving everyone else of physical cash would just hasten the spread of electronic transactions into the corners of the global economy where it doesn’t already reach: Drug cartels, rural villages in 3rd world countries, etc.
And with that, lack of privacy from prying eyes in governments, banking, and corporate databases.

“The Dragon Keepers, their reputations and organization shattered, and identities revealed, must now continue their fight for Justice against the monsters as part of the underground…” Sounds like the tone just moved into grim 'n gritty…
Red needs to learn some impulse control…
And how exactly did Hwalipon escape from a room full of Rangers?

I think it’s good. I wrote what I thought of things so far on last week’s episode: ani.social/post/14125743/10588189
If you’re looking for super action sakuga, this is not it though.

- Comment on Go! Go! Loser Ranger! Season 2 • Sentai Daishikkaku 2nd Season - Episode 7 discussion 4 weeks ago:
The story is good, setting up interesting situations, and even conflicts of interests for our protagonist, Fighter D…
He’s supposed to be destroying the Dragon Keepers, but Green Keeper/Chidori seems like a really cool guy, even having a nice family despite his gothy emo looks, and showing mercy to D despite knowing that he’s a kaijin infiltrator.
Even if D does destroy the Keepers, there are lower ranked rangers waiting in queue to pick up the mantle.
And the kaijin bosses don’t seem to be very sympathetic, so what’s D fighting for?
The Snake Boss arc was fun.
Going back to episode 2, apparently the Boss monsters are themed after the Eto Animals, which are pretty much the same thing as the Chinese Zodiac animals: www.nippon.com/en/features/jg00110/
Of which the Dragon Keepers had defeated 7 of them as of episode 2:
Team Green just defeated Magatia/Snake 巳
The 4 remaining bosses are:
- Peltrola/Rooster 酉
- Hwalipon/Horse 午
- ?/Monkey 申
- ?/Rabbit 卯

I binged and caught up with this yesterday.
I am really enjoying the story.
It’s turning into a wish fulfillment from someone who’s made a lot of cruel choices and gets an incredible opportunity to make better choices in a second chance at life.
Arthur’s perspective is from that person of middle age and he rightfully gets called out for it by Tessia.
Arthur’s incredibly good luck, and OPness are touched with touches of kindness in the middle of the injustice and cruelty happening in the background: The human bandit slavers, Elven prejudice, King Grey’s ruthlessness, etc.
Even the cute mascot, Sylvie, comes on the price of Sylvia’s death.
The animation is low budget, but it’s not bottom of the barrel (I’m looking at you, Tegonia), but like I said the story is strong.

I guess the database for searching in “all” communities only extends to the communities that the instance population has subscribed to at some point?
Or maybe this one /c’s existence wasn’t federated to here for some reason?

- Comment on A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof • Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi - Episode 5 discussion 1 month ago:
Some of the references in this episode:
The scene with Roboko’s schematics
…is a reference to the 1972 Mazinger Z ED: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYzzcOZQCMc
The start is right at the beginning, if you skip to 1:00 in the ED you’ll see the half cutaway drawings.
They got that down to the weird shading, which is from the technique the 1970s animators used to transfer their drawings to cels using photocopying machines. Large dark areas just turned out like that on really old photocopiers.
Roboko’s powers to shoot beams from her eyes and chest is again a reference to Mazinger Z’s powers shown in the 1972 OP www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyRoF689VRE&t=31s
Oddly enough Mazinger never uses those powers, or they’re really ineffective, otherwise the episodes would have been over with really quickly.
Some references when the screen turns all CRT/raster-ized, I am not familiar with.
I’m guessing Nichijou?
- Comment on Once Upon a Witch's Death • Aru Majo ga Shinu Made - Episode 6 discussion 1 month ago:
That’s a good point though, although Meg has a demanding quest, it would be easy to become cynical and mechanical in her approach to completing it.
But I don’t really see an alternative to doing that to some extent, if she has to get it done in time.
But of course this show is also doing a “trick” to keep its audience, so it feels somewhat disingenuous.

On the other hand, there are only two lemmy developers, nutomic and dessalines.
So what’s a realistic path forward?

It’s a very different show from Blue Lock, and quite enjoyable in its own right.
I enjoyed both shows even though they started airing at almost the same time.
