MY GLORIOUS WAIFU
If you would like to know why i deem Satsuki my worthy waifu: (Kill la Kill spoilers obviously)
Satsuki represents most teens in their later years, or more specifically, 17-19. Satsuki is depicted at the start as a mature and strong-willed woman. Almost nothing fazes her, she's skilled in combat, charismatic, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, other people's opinions be damned. However deep down, shes actually a scared and vulnerable normal girl despite her abilities. This is very similar to most older teens, they like to appear invincible and are actually talented but deep down they are just as scared and confused like everyone else. Satsuki is very skilled in hiding her vulnerabilities, only letting her guard down amongst her loved ones and when shes alone. For example, after her second battle with Ryuko, she appears to be struggling with Junketsu. After removing her Kamui, she has a rare moment where her facial expression is one of fatigue and relief. This is in stark contrast to the brave, calm, calculating and "invincible" Satsuki that is seen throughout most of the show. Later on when Nui highjacks her helicopter to take her to Ragyo and drops her off at the mansion, she is seen in the bathtub with a subtle look of nervousness. The most obvious sign of her nervousness is that she's trying to cover her naked self up. Back in her first fight with Ryuko, she specifically said that "If it helps achieve my ambitions, i will bear my breasts for the world to see!!". This contradiction shows that Satsuki is actually very shy when it comes to showing off her body, however shes willing to put aside her embarassment aside for the sake of her goals if she must. And her goal is to rebel against her mother and overthrow the life fibers. The fact that she endures sexual harassment from her mother, wearing a parasitic Kamui, being half-naked in public, and all of the other problems that come with being a leader and plotting a rebellion and is still able to maintain her strong image all to fulfill her ambitions shows the strength of her unfettered willpower,conviction and resolve.
Another reason why i like her is her belief set. As you may guess i am very fond of the Ubermensch ideal. Its hard to explain but overall the Ubermensch ideal is one where a man/woman improves themselves, thereby improving humanity with their example for the sake of humanity itself, unrestrained by the moral code imposed by society and instead follows his/her own. They also dont waste their lives for an afterlife, but rather they live for this life right now. Its an ideal based on Self-Confidence, Willpower, Freedom, Faith in humanity and moral Independence. There is much evidence of Satsuki being an Ubermensch:
1.Her plan is to overthrow her mother, seeing her as threat to humanity.
2.She's willing to do anything, even things people normally think is bad, that might help her goal.
3.She constantly improves her army's capabilities.
4 Being utterly convinced that her cause is noble.
5.Extremely Self-confident and unafraid to challenge anyone.
6.Ultimately motivated by personal motives.
7.Has her own moral code and sense of honor.
8.Inspires others to follow her cause.
Her quotes also make her Ubermensch like:
1. "Fear is Freedom, Subjugation is Liberation, Contradiction is Truth. Those are the truths of this world, and you will surrender to them! You pigs in human clothing!!"
This quote essentially says that one cannot experience something without first knowing its opposite. How can you know Freedom if havent experienced fear? how can you know liberation without experiencing subjugation? How can you know truth without contradiction?
2."The fact that you are shamed by the values of the masses proves how SMALL you are."
This quote is saying that those who let the opinions and beliefs of others control and shame you are small and weak on the inside.
3."Great causes are always fueled by personal desire"
4."A skyscraper built within your mind will never fall down."
This says that as long as you stay true to your beliefs and ambitions, you will never falter or waver in pursuit of your dreams.
5."It is because it is overflowing with inexplicable, unidentifiable things that the world is so beautiful."
This says that the unknown and unexpected are what make this world so beautiful.
While Satsuki may come off as a Social Darwinist, seeing as how she ruled the school with a social darwinist style, she's able to forgive her friend's failures and give them 2nd chances. Showing her softer side to those she cares about. Overtime, she eventually realizes that treating people like pawns will not achieve her ambition and makes her the same as the monster shes fighting. Near the end of the show, she sports a more relaxed and happy expression and is considerably more friendly towards her comrades. Lastly, when the students of Honnouji academy graduate, she is shown to be empty of her iron will. After achieving the ambition that she spent her whole life fighting for, Satsuki finds herself without purpose or even the will to live. The clones of her and the Elite 4 represent the desire to return to their past conflicts due to lacking a goal after defeating Ragyo. After Ryuko saves the day by telling everyone to "graduate" from Ragyo (or to cut ties with their past and move on), Satsuki once again found purpose in her life by devoting herself to helping people. And with the vast amount of wealth she still has, her future is bright.
To conclude, Satsuki was forced to "grow-up" early due to realizing the threat Ragyo was and never got a chance to be a kid. Now that she finally done so, i imagine her as alot more carefree and girly since she never had a chance to be a normal high school girl while still retaining her willpower and leadership qualities.
Overall, Satsuki is an Uberfrau (Frau is German for woman) with an iron will and a great capacity for leadership. But also alot more relaxed,carefree and girly then she was at the start of the show.

I am swamped rn but I'll always keep game recommendations in mind :)
Well, just be glad you don't have to face the pain of checkpoint restarting a million times like I did lmao. Btw have you seen the announcement for the newest entry, Shadow of the Tomb Raider? Looks hella dope.
Infinity War is easily the best Avengers film although that's not a stellar feat when the first was average and the second was one of the worst MCU titles. Thor is op af especially when he withstood the entire power of the star by himself. My favorite scene by far though is the fight in Titan when Thanos brought down the moon, which I'd consider the hypest MCU battle I've seen so far. My only gripe is that the Squidward guy gut offed in the most anti-climactic way xD Overall I thought it was an enjoyable film! That's actually the best part of MCU since even people without prior knowledge can get invested in their films.
I'm active on both, but I prefer talking in MAL so I can rack up my number of profile comments for the sake of vanity :')
Banner Saga's gameplay sounds really tactical, which is great. Seems like it's not just a numbers game where the hardest hitter wins, but more about how smart you can weaken your opponents and plan your moves. Interesting, interesting.
Yeah he got permabanned, but he's still very much active on Discord. I'm not exactly close to him either although I do enjoy talking with others in his server. DDL was definitely good, but I honestly think it was waaay overhyped (I always try my best to avoid using that term lol). Aite cool, lemme shoot you a FR on Discord so I can invite you to the server.
Lmfaaao that impression xD Well understandable tbh cause MGR's first boss fight is one of the most badass introductions in gaming while Nier's prologue is just alright. I can see the game definitely getting better though.
Survivor was the difficulty I played in and it was a blast. I love the challenge and required management of resources. Some of battles late-game can be so tough that you have to checkpoint restart a crapton of times, but that's honestly part of the fun!
Dunno, it was just something I've seen on their page. Maybe they wanted to keep it as a surprise or something.
You either kill you fav Madoka character, or you don't see the movie. What a choice!
Nah, you aren't spouting nonsense, though I feel like you're looking too deep into this. The female character just staying there and waiting for their man (Ren) is probably an effect of the weak romance of the VN, and I'll say that in Kei isn't the only one from the heroines who took action, as Marie did too. I'm not talking about giving power to Ren, but more of how she took control of Ren in Rea's route to fight the Three Colors so he won't suffer again.
Oh wtf, Banner Saga reaaalllyyy sounds like your story I was editing lol. So were you inspired by it, or was it pure coincidence? And turn-based combat? Not only do I love it, but it's my absolute favorite vidya game genre ever (well I'm a JRPG fanatic so it's no surprise lol). But when you mean turn-based combat, do you mean like FF style or with those isometric grids? Either way, I love both.
Sure thing, I'll keep that in mind. Uhmmm, I believe you're friends with Emiya right since you commented on his MAL interview? I'm a longtime member of a Discord server where he's admin and all people discuss there are visual novels. Of course, Dies Irae is one of them. I can send you an invite if you're interested.
Lol I only finished the prologue, didn't get very far. I've been playing too much League of Losers again lately cause my friend returned. I think it's super fun though so far and I can see myself loving the game.
You mean the tabletop game? I haven't got around to playing any of those haha.
Ahh yes, I love the responses of newbies watching Madoka for the first time. Them salt mines be thriving :')
Yep, but he's the strongest because of some parasitic brother that increases his power infinitely, and also because of his crawing to be alone (so you can imagine what happened when he became God).
Nope. The thing is that there wasn't any goal on DI crowdfunding page to say how much money they need for it. But again, I really hope they translate it.
Season 1 is nice, but I stopped watching in season 2 after a new girls is introduced and gave me the feeling that a love triangle is coming.
LOL, basic Shaft. That's brutal to all the Mami fans.
Not much, mostly only when the story was about Lisa and Eleonore because of the subtext about their roles as women. Why you ask?
Well, if you're into necrophilia then it's good because Lisa is into it too, if you catch my drift
Lol, that basically sums up the Longinus.
Nope, not even Madokami and Akuma Homura would stand more than a couple seconds in Reinhard's presence. Dies Irae is probably in top 5 strongest universes in the anime medium (anime+manga+VN+LN), and Rein is like the third strongest in Dies Irae (or Shinza Bansho, as the entire series is known).
Well, I guess that like everything regarding mythology, it was adapted from an earlier story which itself was adapted from an even earlier story. It's like the Flood, a bunch of mythologies have the same story and most of them copied it from a mythos which to copied from the Sumerian Mythology.
I'll love to see her below Rusalka nwm
That's...actually true lol, though Marie is weaker than the other 3.
You're talking about the Hellsing dub, no? Maybe someday when I'm in the mood of continuing on with that series.
Apparently, we were almost close to getting a translation for IkaBey, we just needed to donate more money to the crowdfunding, though I wish Light would try and do a translation in the future. Yeah, Methuselah is freaking OP. From what I've heard he stolen the nights of Earth and the L.D.O. needed Reinhard to defeat him.
I've seen your comment. Don't worry about not posting essays, I wanted to post one but my laziness get the better of me and I just resorted to a quote from the VN (I think you'll know which is my comment lol). Yeah, I wanted to say something about DI being a commentary on Fate, but because I've only seen some of the anime series, I didn't know how to approach it, but that stranger was really kind explaining it to you.
I've seen the series while I was in high school (so like 3-4 years ago), but yeah, it kinda makes fun of chuunis but at the same time give the impression to "why even care if others won't like chuuni, be yourself".
Hahaha, I waited for the third episode of the discussion to drop, now it's time to read all of them reactions. Gotta bring my cup of wine.
I remember finding Dark Souls' combat clunky in the beginning, but it really grew on me. The quiet feeling is indeed unsettling, and pretty much the entire DS trilogy is like that. Bloodborne is also a bit similar but it complements the horror atmosphere very well, which is why most people love it for its mystifying tone.
I've heard good things about Banner Saga, so share your thoughts when you get to play it. I'm not a huge fan of DMC sadly, but I'm very sure you'll enjoy the game nevertheless.
I always follow guides for hectic games since I wanna squeeze the optimal amount of enjoyment right from my first playthrough. I don't mind doing subsequent playthroughs to get 100% completion, but I prefer to do them as little as possible since I really need to bulldoze through my Mt. Everest-sized backlog :'(
Btw I finally bought Nier: Automata after all. Really fun so far!
Eh, funny at times, the romance is nice and heartwarming, the characters are likable. 7-8/10 for me. You can see it if you're in the mood for some comedy/slice-of-life/romance anime.
This sounds nice, if only Rusalka wasn't 90 yo. GILF...I guess
The story happens a couple years in the future, so it's ok for her to look a little different.
Reinhard and the Spear are a meme on most of the battle forums because it's actually true lol. Gil's Gate of Babilon and Ea are nothing to Reinhard's Longinus and Briah. Like for real, having billions of soldier as powerful as Reinhard and a weapon that erases the target out of existence and will hit no matter what.
Yeah, those runes and Valhalla, but I didn't know about the Longinus think, I thought that it's inspired by the Holy Lance.
Once or twice. I'll call Reinhard as Nazi German Gil.
damn lolis
I can see the plot armor thing. Besides Kasumi's route, Shirou had a fuck ton of plot armor. I haven't play DMC, so I can't tell the similarities. I know right, there are some sprites of Shirou that look really weird.
I guess so, though they all have died without her intervention.
Everyone agrees that the romance is the weakest part of the VN, and that Kei's route was the best one in this department.
The only dub of Hellsing I've seen is the abridged version, and because of that, I can't finish the anime (for some reason it's boring to me).
Now that you mentioned it, the anime sure looks foggy. Maybe because of the budget? Hm...
I usually increase the voice's audio and lower the music one.
Congratulations for finishing Dies Irae and your first visual novel (this was your first one, isn't it?)! The characters are the best thing in Dies Irae (besides the OST and over the top plot).
I kinda feel bad for Spinne for always being in the background lol
You have no idea about our Lord and Savior Rot Spinne (just google it).
I think the entire L.D.O. is based on Norse mythology, or was it only the Three Colors?
Haha, yeah, it does make sense. Both take their genres to extreme, over the top, lengths. Another Chunni you most definitely know off is Fate/Stay Night. If you've seen it, just think a little about the similarities between Fate and DI and it would click.
Ah, I agree with your list (but no Marie?! You are dead to me man!). Reinhard and Mercurius are one of my favorite villains in fiction, especially Reinhard. Shirou is probably definitely the best main character lol.
Nice, this one is also good, but for phones:
My favorite work of fiction was introduced to me thru it's anime adaptation, and Dies Irae also made me interested in it because of the anime trailer, so I guess those adaptation did something good in the end.
You have no idea how much of a meme the dub is. OMG, the german accents of the L.D.O. are hilariuos!
