If you understand Japanese and retranslate this, get in touch with me and I'll update the comic.

Cleaned and original comics below the cut.

Specific assistance:

@.magicalgirlfia: Translated Ky's dialogue in panel 3, advised on what Jam was saying in Panel 4.

This one had a fair bit of interesting dialogue in it. Faust's dialogue in panel 3 [ あなたの足の水虫ですよ ] was translated by Deepl as simply [ It's athlete's foot. ]. However, jpdb.io said that the first few characters [ あなた ] was usually [ trad. polite in ref. to someone of equal or lower status, now oft. regarded as rude or distant ]. I thought adding in [ Why, sir ] would fit that same emotion in English.

Ky's dialogue in panel 2 [ いったいなんのことですか ] was translated by Deepl as [ What are you talking about? ]. jpdb.io said that the question was far more emphatic, so I added a bit of strength to the way he said it.

Another impeccable comic by this artist. Great Jams, great Kys, great Bridgets, great Robo Kys... All I need is for them to draw Justice and I'll be happy as can be.

...I wish Justice showed up in any of these...

Some Merry Mechs squirebots yyaay! ❇️

Faulty consider the merry mechs to be their family, and often refer to members as brother/sister/sibling

Faulty is very uncomfortable with loud noises :(

So, this is @bunnybennyidk 's oc!!

She let me tell about her!

Her name is Iona. She's a former nurse. She couldn't do her job properly because she didn't like the procedures that needed to be done with patients.

Her management turned off any opportunity for her to experience fears and emotions, she began to follow the given commands.

One of the employees of the same hospital felt sorry for her colleague. She saw that Iona, being still emotional, had completely different goals and perspectives.

At night, the employee tried to return Iona to her former state according to some instructions, and then advised Iona to run. Well.. Iona ran away. She escaped from the city to the forest, where she came across the merry mechs.

Due to the fact that Iona's former colleague was poorly versed in technology, she damaged Iona's robo-brains, and now it is very difficult for her to express and understand other people's emotions. But now she can make decisions and think for herself, as before. Because of her steadfastness and lack of emotion, Iona is well given the leadership of one of the patrol groups of the Merry Mechs

The children in the hospital put stickers on her :)

Recap Notes 4/15

Kinda all over the place and a majorty is copy pasted. But these are parts that answered questions or added information I think is relevant.

The countdown ticked down to the moment John's house would be struck by a meteor.

No mention so far of the main Reckoning countdown CG talked about. Keeping this here for posterity.

When John entered the Medium the sprite's kernel hatched, thus imbuing all the enemies John and his friends would face with properties of the sprite. [...] They became more powerful and more radically mutated with each successive pre-Medium prototyping.

Its likely Very hard to enter the Medium without at least one prototyping. Nothing says its impossible but for the game to function but theres probably a fail safe to make it happen. It does beg is there a minimum of Total pre-Medium prototypings? Like 1 x # of players (4 for these kids, 12 for the trolls). Probably too deep of a question but eh.

This prototyping had no effect on the enemies, since he was already in the Medium, and the kernel had already hatched. Instead only the sprite was affected, and it took on the appearance, personality, and memories of his grandmother, becoming Nannasprite, a game-supplied albeit customized guide for John.

Rose prototyped her kernelsprite with Jaspers, specifically to understand the meaning of the secret he whispered to her years ago. She was advised to do this by Jade, who told her about the game in the first place.

Cool cool cool. That must be trippy as hell. So Jade knew that prototyping a 'living' being would, for lack of better term, make a copy of them? While in these cases you can see it as resurrection, its not truly. Speaking of Nannasprite specifically it states she is now "a game-supplied albeit customized guide". So while it can certainly mimic closely someone, the changes because of Sburb will in the long run be just enough that its wrong.

[Rose] also found a terminal projecting the impact times and locations for the millions of meteors presently bombarding the planet, along with all the other live sessions of other players around the world.

Good to confirm what Rose saw but Id have liked to see the distinction between our players and others on the terminal. Then again most everyone else got their copies days before these kids did, but whos to say there werent others in the same boat.

Along the way, [PM] used her terminal to attempt to command Jade, who from the perspective of the terminal, had just arrived in the Medium. This caused the terminal to explode for unknown reasons, leaving a hole in the station.

But I want to know the reasons! TELL ME the Reasons!!

Prospit very closely orbits Skaia, a huge sphere of blue sky and clouds, which nanna describes as a "dormant crucible of unlimited creative potential."

Dream Jade then witnesses many past and future events in the clouds. While asleep, she is often confused about what is real and what isn't. When she wakes up, she pieces together future events from her memory of the cloud visions, and from logs recorded by her dreambot. Her dreambot is a robotic surrogate that activates while she sleeps in her bed. It mimics in the real world the movement and actions of her dream self on the moon, and records a video log of what she sees while dreaming.

I see. Ok that certainly clears up a lot about Jades visions but Im curious how Robo Jade is able to record her dreams.

Dream John is still asleep, and John has no knowledge of the dream world, which is to say, the entire game session he would initiate on his 13th birthday.

It is not until he has a perception-altering revelation about his dad does he begin to see them.

I keep rereading the first bullet. How is the dream world and game session the same? What is the importance on waking up in the game? How does it benefit the players? If both game and dream selves are the same, what does that mean dor the session and progression?

Also, it seems like "perception-altering revelation[s]" are the key. John learning his Dad is not that obsessed with clowns. Rose realizing what Jaspers secret truly ment now that shes in the game. Dave that he is and has always been awake (though more is needed here). What was Jades?

Specifically, Jade will send a package to John apparently containing a powerful weapon he will need later. But the package winds up in the hands of Jack Noir, leading to dire consequences.

You heard it here folks, its all Jades fault /j. Theres more questions as to WVs role in this since hes the reason the packages have been moved around along the timeline as well as the other exiles. I dont think theres a solid answer until we see more from their side. Theres also the fact Jade has only orchestrated this all because of the dream visions that it really seems shes had all her life.

And then the big one,

[...] aspects of the game, about Skaia residing at the center of the Medium, beyond seven gates floating directly above his house, and about an eternal/timeless war fought there between dark and light, one that light was always destined to lose.

Both the light and dark kingdoms each have a king and a queen. The queens sit on a throne, on Prospit and Derse respectively, ruling the planet. The kings command armies on the Battlefield, located at the center of Skaia. The queen takes on the attributes supplied by the prototypings due to the four-orbed ring she wears. When the ring is removed, the queen is restored to normal.

Each planet has a sleeping denizen, which the players must first wake, and then kill in the course of their journey through the seven gates

Killing the denizen releases a huge grist hoard buried at the core of the planet, which is then used to fuel a process known as The Ultimate Alchemy. Along the way, the kids are meant to learn about their destined roles in this quest as the Heir of Breath (John), Seer of Light (Rose), Knight of Time (Dave), and Witch of Space (Jade). Over the course of their quest, the dark kingdom will inevitably defeat the light kingdom. The Black Queen and King will take control, and initiate The Reckoning. This affects a belt of meteors, called The Veil, which orbits far from Skaia, between the four planets and Derse, and is host to various lab facilities used by the kingdoms. The Reckoning causes the meteors to descend on Skaia, ultimately destroying it, unless the Black Queen and King can be defeated in time. Skaia however buys time by opening defense portals to catch many of the meteors, redirecting them elsewhere in space and time.

This is the generic template for the way the game is supposed to proceed. It can deviate from this model however, depending on the actions of the players, and the details of the game mythology presented is unique to each group of players and their session,

A nice little template for how games work along with the current template the kids have. Great layout to focus on as we see more of the game played.

Their game session is entirely separate from that of the four kids. It has the same basic template, with its own Skaia, Prospit, Derse, Veil, and a planet for each troll, but separate game instances of these. They also have different instances of the same character templates, such as the kings and queens, and agents like Jack Noir.

The trolls have completed their game session with yet unknown results. They now reside on a meteor in their Veil, sitting at terminals trolling John and co.

While he was in the thick of his game session, the exile commanding him from a terminal in the apocalyptic future was Spades Slick. This is one difference between his game session and John's, who had WV as an exile commanding him. In CG's session, his version of Jack Noir became exiled along the way, and took on the name Spades Slick. Three other agents were exiled, and the four of them formed a gang called the Midnight Crew, and spent years building up a dark city in the future wasteland of the trolls dead planet. Another difference in the trolls session is that at some point along the way, the Black Queen was also exiled, later joined a rival gang called The Felt, assumed special powers that make her highly inadvisable to kill, and came to be known as Snowman.

As well as a small mention of the troll session, its similarities and differences and how the Intermission connects in this story.

Lots to focus on as we go into Year 2 (if it even lasts that long).

Some (More, but Actual) Context For G Gundam

Content Warning: Casual mentions of genocide due to the fact that this is a post covering real world events that happened before and during the airing of Mobile Fighter G Gundam in Japan. Reader discretion is advised.

Also, shout outs to Secret Galaxy, whose video on G Gundam helped a bit with some of the juicy context.

So I know I said I'd be talking about G Gundam. I will, but I still need to set the scenery a bit before I actually talk about G Gundam proper. Give you some context, because it'll help when it comes time to understand what was going on with G Gundam. Think of me as Stalker, setting up the scene at the beginning of every episode of G Gundam.

So with that, Context Fight! Ready, GO!!!

Sunrise, Bandai, and Victory Gundam

(Fun fact for the Gintama heads out there: Victory Gundam protagonist Usso Ewin is voiced by Daisuke Sakaguchi. In other words, Usso shares a voice actor with a sentient pair of glasses Shinpachi)

I figure a good place to start with all of this CONTEXT is start with what is going on at Sunrise, the anime company that produces and makes the Gundam anime series. Let's just say I didn't pick this gif of Usso out of the blue. During the run of the previous Gundam series, Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, Sunrise would be bought out by toymaker Bandai. And as they are the new bosses in town, Bandai started making demands. A lot of demands. So much so that series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino left the series once Victory Gundam wrapped up its run due to the amount of meddling Bandai was causing. So now, Bandai is in control of a franchise but lacking one of the main creative forces behind this iconic franchise. They also have a new idea for a new Gundam series, and they would prefer someone who is more compliant with their changes. Fortunately for Bandai, they would tap someone who had worked with Tomino on multiple projects together.

Enter Yasuhiro Imagawa

Bandai taps Yasuhiro Imagawa to direct this new Gundam series, as a move to get someone who may be more compliant to their whims. After all, Imagawa's only major projects as a director at this point are Ajikko-san and a couple of episodes of the Giant Robo OVA (a series I plan on watching eventually). There's just one problem: Imagawa worked under Tomino on a handful of projects, namely Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. So Imagawa kinda knows what Gundam's all about, especially since his focus was on storyboarding. If anything, he was just as put off on the idea as most Gundam fans at the time were, going so far as to try and come up with some ridiculous mecha designs that would flummox the people at Bandai. Imagawa would fail, but he would learn that it might be best to work with Bandai in order to make this Gundam series. Imagawa would begin work on a series that would, on the outside, be a radical departure from what Gundam was.

(Read in Susumu Chiba's voice) Stand up, Boy! Stand up and FIGHT!!!!

So you've probably gotten to this point and asked: "Why a tournament arc though?" And I will preface my answer with this: I'm not super-certain if the timeline lines up as well in my head, so if anyone can correct me on this, feel free to comment or message me on this if I'm wrong.

My answer is that there are two series responsible for this: Dragon Ball and Street Fighter. See, Dragon Ball Z would also be airing around this time, and if I'm thinking correctly, it should be airing around the time of the Cell Games arc (I think; Again, please correct me if I'm wrong). And remember, Dragon Ball is one of, if not the, most influential shounen battle series of all time. Add onto that the sudden success of Capcom's Street Fighter with the release of Street Fighter II and its colorful cast of characters from various nations with colorful attacks, and you can definitely see why Bandai would want to get in on the trend.

Would it surprise you if I told you that one of the more influential series for G Gundam was also Saint Seiya (or Knights of the Zodiac for those more familiar with its western name), specifically when it comes to the concept of the golden super mode. I also would not be surprised if Saint Seiya was also the reason for the majority of the Shuffle Alliance members being HOT MEN. Then again, Gundam's success was kickstarted thanks to women, so it may also be a treat for the ladies.

What's Going On in the World (1994 Edition)

So enough about Shonen Jump series and Street Fighter. What about the rest of the world? As we all know, media is informed by the world events that unfold as it's being made, and G Gundam is no exception. And while not all of these events happen before the series starts to air, they do, in my opinion, help to either inform or reinforce the ideas and themes present in Mobile Fighter G Gundam. I won't say what those themes and ideas are in this video, but here's an incomplete list of what is going on in the world before and during G Gundam's run:

The Japanese economic bubble bursts in 1992.

To reflect that, Patlabor 2 releases in theaters in 1993, best exemplifying the more pessimistic tones of post-bubble Japan by giving us a much colder and more cynical version of Patlabor that contrasts heavily to the more optimistic tone the series had prior to Patlabor 2.

Furthermore, a lot of western countries would be suffering from recessions at this point in the 90's. To put things into context for Americans, the economy is a large part of why Bill Clinton beat George H. W. Bush in the '92 Election.

In terms of entertainment, two extremely iconic series are still being worked on during G Gundam's airing: Pokemon and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The general public is more aware of the climate than ever before, especially since it had been about 9-10 years since scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer directly above Antarctica.

A week after G Gundam begins airing, the Rwandan Genocide begins in earnest.

Before their infamous Tokyo Subway Sarin attack, the cult Aum Shinrikyo would pull off a smaller scale Sarin attack in Matsumoto.

Just for fun: Magic Knight Rayearth airs in October of '94. In my mind, Rayearth acts as a sort of distaff counterpart to G Gundam due to their primary audiences.

And that's a wrap. I hope this more scattershot dive into some Context TM was interesting. This is going to be on the exam, as next time I will finally be talking about Mobile Fighter G Gundam

It's 5 am. I wake up to a ding. I think I'm the only one that heard it, since the rest are sleeping. I see a notification on my screen.

File Download Ended

██████████████

Open File | Close Notification

I try to press the second button to go into my files folder and delete this shit.

It won't close. I keep choosing it but it won't close.

"The fuck..?" I whisper quietly. "OH F-" I almost yell when I see that somehow there was chosen the Open File option.

⚠︎ Warning! Virus detected ⚠︎

⚠︎ Предупреждение! Обнаружен вирус ⚠︎

I get a warning. My right eye gets all blurry and everything on the right gets translated to Russian.

"Oh sh-shit..." I mumble, slightly glitching. "I fucked up big t-time..."

I instantly move from my bed to my laptop and boot it up to search for an antivirus.

I hear N move. I turn, only to see that he just made himself comfier. How can they even sleep upside down???

I start searching for an antivirus after I put in my password.

"Here you are-are..." I whisper. I download several on my laptop, and I get a cable to transfer them to me.

I connect the cable to my ear and to my device, getting ready to move the files, but my plans aren't happening-

"Привет, Узи. Я вижу, ты пытаешься избавиться от меня. Жаль, что этого НИКО��ДА НЕ ПРОИЗОЙДЕТ. / 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘 𝚄𝚣𝚒. 𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚛𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚛𝚒𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚖𝚎. 𝚃𝚘𝚘 𝚋𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙻 𝙽𝙴𝚅𝙴𝚁 𝙷𝙰𝙿𝙿𝙴𝙽." A message appears on the screen of the laptop.

"Shit... I virused the-the fucking laptop. Robo-Jesus I'm an idi-idiot." I rumble as quiet as I can.

// Note from Uzi one hour later: "I underes-estimated the situation. I didn't fuck up big time. It's much, MUCH wo-worse.

I take out the cable and try to find a solution.

"Ughhh Uzi, the same w-way you fucked it up you should unfuck it u-up, come on!" I keep telling myself.

|

"You Should-" Cyn starts talking. Loud.

|

"CYN!" I yell. "Gosh... Q-quiet..." I add whispering. But the bad was already done.

V wakes up, and gets off from her upside down position.

"Good morning to you too Uzi, why you up so early?" She asks me tired.

|

"... V? I f-fcked up..." I mumble, while resetting my laptop to the fabric software.

|

"Uzi, the fuck you did, you never say that you fucked up. And what's with the glitched voice?" She asks me slightly worried.

|

"... V-virus." I respond.

|

"A virus? You'll find a way out, don't worry." She responds more relaxed.

I turn towards her to say something, but I decide to not do so. V is horrified.

"WHAT THE..? YOU DID FUCK UP!" She yells scared and loudly. The other two drones wake up.

|

"Th-thanks V." I tell her sarcastically.

N is the first one to get down from him sleeping pose.

"Good morning everyone!" He says without looking at me. "Oh, you were already awa-..." He adds, but he isn't finishing his sentence.

|

"ROBO-GOD, WHAT'S TH-THE FUCKING PROBLEM, HOW B-BAD IS THIS VIRUS!?" I yell annoyed. "Actually I'll see-see myself." I rumble, and go to N's face to see my reflection in his screen.

"... SH-SHIT!" I yell the next second. My right eye is in a gradient red, instead of yellow. Everything makes sense now...

|

"Bitch shut the fuck up I'm trying to sleep!" J says, pulling her wings over her face. She does not understand the gravity of the situation.

"Guys... Please g-get out this virus is so much-ch more dangerous GET OU-OUT!" I yell worried at them, and I run out the door.

N says something confused, but I don't listen to him.

"Hey Uzi, is everything okay-" Dad asks me when he sees me running. I don't respond, and I destroy the door to out house to run on the bunker's hallway.

I get my wings out and start flying to the exit of the building.

I get there and stop. "Why Are You, Running." Cyn asks me.

|

"C-cyn... I do not have t-time to explain." I tell her.

I go out the already open door, and start flying.

I start flying somewhere far from my friends.

Somewhere where they'll be safe.

𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂

I am walking in circles in the old church.

I look at where Doll's body was.

I remember when she just collapsed.

Her last words

"дать отпор"

Maybe I could find more about Yeva.

Maybe I'll know what to do.

"Робот-бог, просто заткнись, я просто пытаюсь жить, господи! / 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘-𝚐𝚘𝚍, 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚜𝚑𝚞𝚝 𝚞𝚙, 𝙸'𝚖 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚛𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎, 𝚓𝚎𝚎𝚣!" I suddenly hear.

|

"What Is She, Doing Here?" Cyn asks.

At this point, this is normal.

"D-doll, what are you doing in m-m-my head." I say emotionlessly. I got enough of this shit.

|

"О, вирус действительно подействовал на тебя. Как кто-то вроде ТЫ спас этот чертов мир? / 𝙾𝚑, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚟𝚒𝚛𝚞𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚊 𝚗𝚞𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞. 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝚜𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍?" I hear her voice in my head.

I don't say anything. I keep walking in circles.

My phone starts ringing. It's V's number

I pick up. "N? Wh-why are you call-calling?" I ask hearing N's voice.

|

"Uzi? UZI? What happened??? Why did you go? Where are you? Are you safe?" He's asking me panicked. I put on a sad smile.

|

"I'm trying to-to protect y-you. Don't w-worry about me." I respond. "B-bye." I say, and then I close.

"Ты действительно встречаешься с проклятым убийцей? А я думал, у тебя есть стандарты. / 𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝙳𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚊 𝚐𝚘𝚍𝚍𝚊𝚖𝚗 𝚖𝚞𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚛? 𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝙸 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚜." Doll says.

"Th-that's why I am not with th-them right now." I mumble. "Can't you g-go away?" I add tired. I can't do this today.

"И потерять возможное тело? Я очень надеюсь, что твое тело не перегреется, но примерно через час я буду КОНТРОЛИРОВАТЬ. / 𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚊 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢? 𝙸 𝚍𝚘 𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚑𝚘𝚙𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢 𝚠𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚝, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚊𝚗 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝙸'𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚃𝚁𝙾𝙻." She responds.

"If I-i go somewhere wh-where nobo-nobody's going to find me, and die-die, will you be able to get to anyone el-else?" I ask her, getting worried.

"Э-э... Нет? О, Робо-Бог, я выбрал не тот дрон. Иди на хуй. / 𝚄𝚑𝚑... 𝙽𝚘? 𝙾𝚑 𝚁𝚘𝚋𝚘-𝙶𝚘𝚍 𝙸 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚍𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚎. 𝙶𝚘 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏." She says annoyed.

𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂~𖥂

I am sitting on the enge of the hole in the middle of the church.

I've been debating if I should really do it or get with it for the past 20 minutes.

"Тик-так, тик-так, часы тикают! / T𝚒𝚌𝚔-𝚝𝚘𝚌𝚔, 𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚔-𝚝𝚘𝚌𝚔, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚌𝚔 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐!" Doll says, on an amused voice.

I take out my phone and decide to talk for the last time with... Everyone I guess..

I decide to call V, since she's most of the time with the other two drones, and because N doesn't have a phone yet.

"THE FUCK YOU WENT????" Is the first this I hear when V picks up. I laugh sadly.

|

"Hi!... How-how's N..?" I ask her. "I-is N there..?"

|

"He's outside the bunker, searching for you. Where did you go, is everything alright??" V asks me worried.

|

"What..? Fu-fuck..." I say, avoiding her question. "Th-then... Tell him I lo-lo-loved him..." I mumble.

|

"Uzi, what are you doing..? UZI DON'T YOU DARE. DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" V yells very worried at me. I think mom heard her, since she appears in the image.

|

"... H-hi mom... I gu-guess we part ways ag-again..." I tell her.

|

"UZI, GET YOUR ASS BACK HOME WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO????" She asks me. Worried like everyone else.

|

"I FU-FUCKED UP, ALRIGHT-RIGHT??" I yell, bursting in tears. "I DO-DON'T WANT TO KILL ANY OF-OF MY FRIENDS!"

Mom is speechless.

"... Это неловко. / ... 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐." I hear. Doll is laughing at me.

"Gu-guys.... Just tell N that I lo-loved him very m-much. I love you-ou guys too!..." I mumble, hanging up.

"Ты собираешься прыгнуть сейчас? / 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚐𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝚓𝚞𝚖𝚙 𝚗𝚘𝚠?" Doll asks me nonchalantly.

|

"Uzi, Do Not, Do That. I Do Not Want, To Die." Cyn tells me. I ignore her.

Who programmed us to be able to cry?

I shouldn't be crying. But I am. I mean, I will never see anyone again... N, mom, even dad...

I get up, wipe my tears, and look at the void in front of me.

"B-bye world!" I say smiling. But I'm not happy. I'm anything but happy.

And I jump.

Wow, weird ending, an I right? Does the story end here? Of course not, but what happens? Stay tuned in to find out :3

[blue-without-the-lavender]

Explain time.

Alright. @starsinthenight

But excuse my awful spelling I'm dyslexic and my brain refuses to understand the English language.

All text in pictures is written below.

For the sake of time I'm going to assume you already whatever you're planning on layering. Start by cutting it out with an exacto blade.

After cutting and cleaning up your image. It's time to think about layering and the interest of your image.

Or : how the HECK do I cut this paper so I can bend it without it ripping or falling apart!?!???

Let's break this down by asking two questions-

1- what is everything Infront of?

2- what is everything behind?

1- the right arm it's behind everything. Leo's head scarf and shell.

2- the left arm,it's in front of everything. The base of the body, and it's also in the fore ground.

From thair you can go through assigning height to each part of your drawing. If this is your first time try to be less specific and work your way up to more complicated disigns.

Wright it out of you want, or don't. Lists overwhelm me so I usually just do this in my head. -back- robo arm,back of legs,mid back,top of pants, shell both sides, head/arm joint?, scarf, hand elbow -frunt-

Time to start *cutting!* This is the mostly intuition of when you need to stop cutting. And about the look that you want. Ex: Do you fully cut some thing off or leave it partially attached?

Cutting it off makes things POP out a bit more. I'd just advise that you'd only cut off things if they have a full outline.

Other wise it will look something like this. Which can look cool. It's really up to you.

I just really like using partial cuts.

Last thing before I set you free-adhesives.

I use three main types 1-dubble sided adhesive foam cubes 2- double sided tape that you need to peel 3-glue dots. All of with you can find at craft stores or Amazon.

Below is a video of all the stuff I talked about above In action.

This is what the final looks like.

From the back and sides you can see how many adhesives I used. :D

Let me know if you have any questions, and if you make something please send me pictures.

Also I have no clue what this thing is called. Please tell me so I can put it on my resume...

Oh also for 4 I was absolutely thinking most embarrassing hockey interaction like interpersonally, between hockey players tbh

OK LEMME THINKKKK already did 13 so jumped one over.

4 most embarrassing hockey player interaction

every time they made Joey Veneno despair over Lucas replacing him on The Mojoe Show LOL... i think people exacerbate jack's awkwardness and then he embarasses me all over again so. there. but the entire NHL awards was so death-inducing to me personally i can't deal with cringe so i just DON'T WATCH ITTTT

14 a player you would get along with

At LEN24 BANK, we pride ourselves on understanding each client’s financial circumstances, risk tolerance, and individual goals.

3. Experience Counts

Our leadership team and investment professionals have been in both buy- and sell-side roles for some of the largest financial institutions in the world for decades. Accordingly, we understand the implications that come with deploying capital, having ourselves as principal investors.

This level of first-hand experience means we don't just advise, we take action having considered the underlining investment structure, the regulatory risk, and the economic conditions that affect the broader market. From the complexities of managing an M&A transaction to raising capital for expansion, or accessing private equity investment, our experience gives our clients a distinct advantage.

4. Client-Centric Solutions Work

The Rise of AI in Personal Finance: How Robo-Advisors Are Transforming Wealth Management

Imagine having your own financial advisor—available 24/7, never biased, always data-driven, and incredibly efficient. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robo-advisors, this futuristic idea is now today’s reality. In 2025, personal finance is no longer a manual, confusing process. It's smart, automated, and tailored to your financial goals.

As AI continues to revolutionize sectors like banking, healthcare, and logistics, its impact on wealth management and personal finance is equally significant. For students and professionals entering the finance world, especially those taking an investment banking course in Delhi, understanding AI-driven tools is quickly becoming a must-have skill.

What Are Robo-Advisors?

Robo-advisors are AI-powered digital platforms that provide automated, algorithm-driven financial planning and investment management services. You simply enter your financial goals, risk appetite, and time horizon—and the robo-advisor builds and manages a personalized investment portfolio for you.

No human advisor. No office visits. Just smart algorithms working 24/7.

Some popular global platforms include:

Wealthfront

Betterment

SoFi

Robinhood (with AI-enhanced features)

In India, companies like Zerodha’s Nudge, Paytm Money, Groww, and Kuvera are introducing AI elements to make investing more accessible and intelligent.

How AI is Reshaping Personal Finance

AI is transforming personal finance in more ways than one. Here’s how:

1. Smart Budgeting and Expense Tracking

Apps like Walnut, CRED, and Money View now use AI to analyze spending patterns and suggest ways to save. These tools personalize financial advice based on your habits—no more spreadsheets!

2. Automated Investing

Robo-advisors analyze thousands of data points to create diversified portfolios. They can rebalance your investments automatically based on market conditions or your changing financial needs.

3. Risk Management

AI can predict potential risks in investment portfolios by analyzing economic trends, news sentiment, and historical data—giving users a heads-up before markets dip.

4. Credit and Loan Advising

AI tools help users get personalized loan offers, manage EMI schedules, and improve credit scores through timely nudges and tailored advice.

5. Tax Optimization

Some robo-advisors now include tax-loss harvesting features, helping users reduce tax liabilities while maximizing gains.

Why This Matters for Finance Professionals

The rise of AI and robo-advisors doesn’t mean financial professionals are becoming obsolete—instead, their roles are evolving. Professionals who understand AI in finance can:

Work with fintech platforms to improve algorithms

Create hybrid advisory models combining human and AI advice

Use AI insights to make better investment decisions

This is why enrolling in an investment banking course in Delhi is more relevant than ever. Top-tier programs now include modules on AI in finance, fintech innovations, and wealth tech, giving learners a modern, tech-enabled edge.

AI + Investment Banking = A New Era

Even traditional investment banking is embracing AI:

Deal sourcing is now driven by predictive analytics.

M&A advisory uses AI to assess synergies and market sentiment.

Client profiling and onboarding are enhanced through AI-powered KYC tools.

Portfolio analytics leverages machine learning for real-time performance insights.

Finance professionals with AI exposure are in demand—not just in wealth management, but across investment banking, asset management, and equity research. If you're pursuing an investment banking course in Delhi, make sure it covers these critical shifts.

India’s Robo-Advisory Landscape: Growing Fast

India’s fintech market is projected to reach $150 billion by 2025, and robo-advisory is a key growth driver. A few trends shaping this space include:

Younger investors preferring DIY investing through mobile apps

Increased financial literacy, especially post-COVID

Low-cost access to personalized wealth management tools

Regulatory support from SEBI promoting innovation and investor protection

With millions of new retail investors entering the markets via digital platforms, robo-advisors are becoming the default choice for portfolio building.

Final Thoughts

Robo-advisors and AI are not just disrupting wealth management—they’re democratizing it. With smart automation, even first-time investors can access personalized financial advice and build wealth confidently. At the same time, financial professionals who upskill in AI and digital tools are setting themselves apart in a competitive market.

If you're serious about making a mark in modern finance, consider enrolling in a top-tier investment banking course in Delhi that prepares you for both Wall Street and the digital future.

Financial Advisor: Leadership Through Philanthropy

In today’s complex financial landscape, the role of a financial advisor extends far beyond portfolio management. As clients demand greater accountability and a holistic approach to wealth stewardship, advisors must adopt leadership principles and embrace philanthropic values. By balancing strategic guidance with a commitment to social impact, modern advisors can differentiate themselves, foster deeper client relationships, and generate long-term value for both portfolios and the communities they serve.

Historically, financial advisors focused primarily on investment recommendations and risk assessment. However, evolving client expectations now emphasize trust, transparency, and purpose-driven outcomes. Advisors who lead with integrity and philanthropic intent not only help clients grow their assets but also inspire meaningful change. This dual focus enhances client satisfaction, supports sustainable business growth, and elevates the advisor’s professional brand.

The Evolving Role of the Financial Advisor

Over the past decade, technological advances and regulatory changes have transformed advisory practices. Clients now have unprecedented access to real-time market data, robo-advisory platforms, and alternative investment vehicles. As a result, advisors must offer more than technical expertise; they must serve as trusted guides, distilling complex information into clear, actionable plans. Effective advisors leverage digital tools to streamline operations while maintaining personalized client engagement.

Moreover, demographic shifts—such as the rise of millennial investors and an aging Baby Boomer population—require tailored approaches. While younger clients may prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, retirees often seek capital preservation and legacy planning. Advisors who demonstrate leadership by anticipating these needs and adapting their services accordingly can build stronger client loyalty. In turn, this leadership mindset drives referrals and cements the advisor’s reputation in a competitive marketplace.

Leadership Principles in Financial Guidance

Strong leaders share core qualities: vision, integrity, empathy, and adaptability. Within financial advising, these traits translate into proactive communication, ethical decision-making, and genuine client empathy. By articulating a clear vision for a client’s financial future, advisors provide direction and inspire confidence. Regular check-ins and transparent reporting reinforce trust, especially when markets fluctuate.

Furthermore, integrity underpins every recommendation. Advisors who disclose potential conflicts of interest, prioritize client goals over product commissions, and adhere to fiduciary standards foster deeper relationships. Empathy also plays a crucial role: understanding a client’s values, life goals, and risk tolerance enables personalized strategies that resonate on a human level. Finally, adaptability ensures advisors remain responsive to regulatory shifts, technological innovations, and evolving market dynamics. Together, these leadership principles elevate advisory services from transactional to transformational.

Philanthropy as a Pillar of Advisor Impact

Integrating philanthropy into advisory practices offers multiple benefits. First, it aligns wealth management with clients’ desires to leave a positive legacy. Many high-net-worth individuals seek guidance on charitable giving, donor-advised funds, and impact investments. Advisors who can structure tax-efficient giving strategies and identify credible nonprofit partners add significant value. This expertise positions the advisor as a comprehensive resource for both wealth creation and social contribution.

Second, an advisory firm’s own philanthropic initiatives can reinforce its brand ethos. Hosting community service events, sponsoring financial literacy workshops, or establishing scholarship programs demonstrate commitment to social responsibility. Such activities not only strengthen community ties but also attract socially conscious clients and employees. By leading philanthropic efforts, advisors signal that success is measured not only by financial returns but also by the positive change they help facilitate.

Integrating Giving into Financial Strategies

To effectively integrate giving into financial plans, advisors should adopt a structured framework. The first step involves understanding each client’s philanthropic passions—whether education, healthcare, environmental conservation, or another cause. This insight informs tailored recommendations, such as establishing a foundation, supporting crowdfunding initiatives, or investing in social impact bonds.

Next, advisors must evaluate the tax implications of various giving vehicles. Donor-advised funds offer flexibility and immediate deductions, while private foundations provide control over grantmaking. For clients interested in innovative tools, program-related investments allow direct financing of nonprofit projects with the potential for modest financial returns. Advisors who master these nuances can craft holistic plans that balance charitable objectives with broader financial goals.

Finally, progress tracking and impact reporting are essential. Advisors should provide clients with regular updates on fund performance, grant allocations, and measurable social outcomes. By demonstrating tangible results—such as the number of scholarships awarded or CO₂ emissions reduced—advisors reinforce the value of integrated giving strategies. This transparency not only sustains client engagement but also highlights the advisor’s leadership in blending financial and philanthropic stewardship.

The modern financial advisor must wear multiple hats: strategist, leader, and philanthropist. By embracing leadership principles and embedding philanthropy into core services, advisors can deliver differentiated value, deepen client trust, and contribute to meaningful societal change. As competition intensifies and client expectations evolve, those who guide with purpose and integrity will secure both professional success and a lasting legacy of positive impact.

Beyond Wall Street: 7 Surprising Careers You Can Unlock with a CFA Charter

Most people picture investment banking as the single career path that comes in their mind at the mention of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation. This is probably the most prestigious and rewarding career option in finance; however, the CFA charter is much broader than that. The field of finance keeps changing and it keeps pace with data, sustainability, and innovation. The trend today shows that CFA charterholders are getting out of traditional banking roles.

If you're thinking of preparing for the CFA or getting enrolled in a CFA course kolkata, it's time for you to see what the full-length version of this globally recognized credential is capable of offering, with seven of the surprising yet high-impact careers on the fast track pursued by CFA charterholders today.

1. ESG and Sustainable Finance Analyst:

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing is witnessing a boom, and companies are now looking for people who can be in charge of long-term sustainability analysis of investments. With the increasing regulatory pressure and demand for responsible investment, companies hire CFA chartered members to lead their ESG initiatives.

According to a 2024 Bloomberg report, over $50 trillion of the global assets will be ESG compliant by the year-end 2025. To this effect, CFA Institute has integrated ESG-related topics in its curricula, emphasising the importance of its emerging field.

2. Fintech Strategy Consultant

With finance moving into technology, CFA charterholders are being hired by fintech firms for consulting on regulatory frameworks, launching digital products, and strategy on capital. The deep understanding of financial systems and investment structures makes them valuable hires for fast-paced startup environments.

AI-centric companies are also hiring CFA to help bring the exposure that technical innovation and financial modeling testing provide for one another. The fintech space demands the financial thinker, opened beyond coders, from block chains to robo-advisors.

3. Behavioral Finance Spokesman

That which was previously seen as a niche area may be quite useful in understanding strategies to utilize when it comes to operating within the psychology of the investor. Financial institutions, wealth management firms, and, yes, even government agencies, are employing CFA charterholders to create new and improved investment products as well as methodologies for education of retail clients.

Today, as much as meme stocks and their social media-fueled trading could become mainstream, understanding emotions influencing markets is imperative. A CFA with behavioral finance will give that much-needed cutting edge.

4. Risk Intelligence and Scenario Planning Expert

Risk management is always in the DNA of a chartered financial analyst; now it is being elevated to the next notch by organizations: risk intelligence. It means putting together geopolitical forecasting, climate risk modeling, and AI-driven scenarios to prepare for black swan events.

Think tanks, multinational corporations, and hedge funds are now hiring CFA charterholders to head scenario planning teams. These professionals also evaluate the numbers and advise on strategic responses to world happenings.

5. Real Estate Portfolio Strategist

The global real estate market is undergoing digital transformation, and asset managers require CFA-designated professionals who can guide in investments in REITs, green buildings, and infrastructure debt. These functions will include portfolio balancing, risk assessment on the basis of geography, and forecasting returns.

REITs are becoming popular in India and most emerging economies, and CFA professionals are actively engaged in structuring and managing these instruments.

6. Financial Data Product Manager

This is a thoroughly nontraditional role: financial data product management. CFA charterholders are being hired as product leads by leading financial platforms and SaaS companies. The task: to define, design, and deliver financial tools that analysts, traders, and researchers use around the world.

These professionals combine user research with quantitative expertise to ensure that the products they are building meet market expectations. It is quite an interesting marriage of finance and tech strategy.

7. Family Office Investment Advisor

Increasingly, ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families are creating private family offices to manage their wealth. Custom portfolio structuring, tax efficiency, and philanthropic investment management are missions typically assigned to CFA charterholders.

Such positions offer an extensive margin of independence and ethical responsibility, along with the opportunity to associate closely with decision makers who make decisions for generations.

Reasons Why These Positions Are Being Created Now

He's not at all random: diversification of CFA career paths is a response to the rapid evolution of global finance in our time. Several drivers are pushing CFA charterholders beyond investment banking:

Digitization: AI, machine learning, and blockchain are reshaping roles.

Regulation: New compliance requirements are creating entirely new financial planning niches.

Behavioral Shifts of Investors: Today's Young Investors place as much importance on social impact as they do on ROI.

Work Culture: Young Professionals Want Meaning, Flexibility, and Variety in Their Finance Careers.

New-age organizations are defining what they call 'investment philosophy' and require professionals who possess not only technical mastery but also adaptability and cross-disciplinary skills. The CFA charter symbolizes that blend of rigor and relevance.

Future Prospects: Multi-Domain Knowledge, the Key

The CFA curriculum has already begun to adapt to this new world situation. From 2023 onward, new modules on python, ethics in AI, and even crypto assets have been introduced in the CFA Institute education. These are not peripheral; they are the essentials that depict the future CFA-the financial professional who operates well in uncertainty, is fluent in tech, and leads with critical insight.

As the lines between sectors begin to blur, CFA charterholders who can combine solid analytical strength with cross-domain mobility will have a tremendous edge.

Conclusion: A Passport to New Frontiers

The CFA designation is no longer merely a ticket to the investment banking world; it has become a passport to dozens of frontiers. From ESG to fintech, from family office management to data products, today CFA professionals are redefining what success means in finance.

The interesting part is actually the aspirants' preparations. They should have more than textbook knowledge; they should actually possess awareness of the real world, digital fluency, and ethical intelligence. This, incidentally, is what modern programs are beginning to offer.

For example, the CFA Training Program in Kolkata is changing to fill this next-generation need--equipping professionals not just for the exams but for careers in which versatility is the order of the day. In this era of financial innovation, the CFA charter is about freeing you up, not tying you down.

Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion The Animation 11: Polish!! The Institute's Old Mechanic

The boys are helping the maintenance crew headed by Yamaguchi Nagato by washing the Shinkalions, but Hayato notices just how much damage they've taken. Elderly maintenance member Odawara Kintoki interrupts, grumpily telling them how each of them are missing their units.

Genbu watches a woman cleaning up after a hero show, they mistake him for one of the actors, questioning the act of cleaning, something he just doesn't understand.

The boys are put off by the experience with Odawara, and ask Honjo who he is, he explains Odawara is a veteran rail engineer scouted for SUEI for his skills, but he's a curmudgeonly sort people struggle to get along with, quick to scold for mistakes. Hayato thinks it might be useful to learn from him, but Akita and Tsuranuki only follow reluctantly. When they find him, Odawara tells them he's never watched them battle, but knows the damage they've done by looking at the wear and tear, and when Hayato still asks for advice, tells them to polish all the old parts he's collected.

Byakko and Seiryu find Genbu, who explains his puzzlement with human waste, that they haven't found means to stop it being produced, instead using technology to clean it, and questions if old technologies are also considered trash by the same token.

The boys are polishing, but get scolded for doing it wrong, while being told doing a will help them understand it's uses, and have more parts dumped on them to polish. Akita and Sugu give up, but Hayato continues for now, which Odawara notes.

Seiryu goes to a scrapyard, locating a vacuum cleaner.

Inspecting Hayato's work, Odawara says it shows promise, he'll be able to learn how not to damage them if he continues, and tells him how Hokuto and Izumi have often come to consult him. Taking a piece Hayato was polishing, which seems like waste as much as anything else, Odawara demonstrates it still has some use left in it, intuition for this he's developed over his career, and that even if you don't have a use for it, someone else may still. The Alert comes in. As the Drivers depart Odawara surprises Yamaguchi by actually joining the rest of the crew to watch the departure.

The 3 units confront Progress Cleaner, which doesn't make any movement, so Akita and Tsuranuki leap into attack. After these first hits it stands, and starts vacuuming up any blasts from the E6. The E7 charges in close, but the powerful suction even steals the Sharin Drill.

Recalling his conversation with Odawara, Hayato realise Progress Cleaner is considering the others as garbage, and requests Mihara make the others withdraw. Izumi approves the order, and once they're gone it shuts back down. He compares Progress Cleaner only focusing on the other two to his mother getting annoyed enough at his dad that she paid no attention to him and Haruka. Izumi understands the reasoning, and Hayato requests they call Odawara to the command room to advise him in how to deal with Progress Cleaner.

Impresses by Hayato's reasoning for requesting him after discussing, Odawara joins the support for the battle, and relying on his own intuition, concludes there's an upper limit on what can be vacuumed, so they should try and give it something to vacuum until all it can do is burst. He knows however even the Gran Cross won't do to much, before remembering the still absorbed Sharin Drill, the particles of the Gran Cross coating those inside the cylinder will test the cylinder apart.

The Gran Cross fires a continuos beam, but no damage is being done to Progress Cleaner, the cylinder is being rotated enough. Aid comes in the appearance of Shinobu and the E3, who uses the Fumikiri Shuriken on the Gran Cross to increase the force of rotation, and the damage begins to build up. With this, and increasing by max power, Progress Cleaner is made to tear itself apart.

Everyone meets up to celebrate, Odawara inspired to keep at the work thanks to Hayato. Izumi watches, but quietly confirms with Hibiki how analysis is progressing, wondering if the time to deploy a new unit is coming.

Byakko sees that humans don't throw themselves away, but choose their paths, questioning Seiryu if he still finds them inferior, Seiryu is silent, but Genbu wants to fight Shinkalion directly.

From this episode on, the standard E5 is equipped with these booster wings, which becomes part of the Cho Kaisatsu Sword when Link Gattai occurs.

Exploring Future Career Opportunities in Finance: A Guide for Students

Choosing a career in finance offers a world of opportunities. With the global economy evolving rapidly, the finance sector has become more diverse, providing numerous career paths for students. As industries continue to grow and technology reshapes the way we work, understanding future prospects after studying finance is crucial for anyone planning a career in this field. This article will explore the potential career opportunities in finance and provide insights on how to enhance your prospects with relevant skills.

The Financial Sector: A Broad Range of Career Paths

Finance is one of the most versatile fields for students, with many career options available after completing a degree. From traditional roles like banking, accounting, and investment management to newer fields like financial technology (FinTech) and risk analysis, finance offers a dynamic career landscape. For students, understanding the future prospects after studying finance can help in making informed decisions about their career journey.

The rise of FinTech has revolutionized the finance industry. Today, students have access to jobs related to blockchain, cryptocurrency, and robo-advisors. The demand for professionals in these fields is growing exponentially, opening doors to high-paying jobs. Additionally, companies in the finance sector increasingly seek data-driven individuals who can make sense of complex data and use it to make informed decisions.

The Role of Data Science in Finance

Data science has become a critical component of the financial industry. Financial institutions use data science to predict market trends, assess risk, and develop investment strategies. With data analysis tools becoming more advanced, professionals with expertise in both finance and data science are in high demand. Why is data science a career-oriented field? Because it empowers financial institutions to make data-backed decisions that are more accurate and effective.

As the world of finance becomes more reliant on big data, students who study finance and develop skills in data science will have a competitive edge. From analyzing stock prices to creating algorithms for trading, data science provides students with a wide range of opportunities. The integration of data science into finance has also led to the rise of roles such as quantitative analysts, data engineers, and financial data scientists.

Skills You Need for a Successful Career in Finance

While traditional finance roles are still popular, today’s finance professionals need to adapt to new trends in technology and data. For a successful career in finance, students should focus on developing technical skills in areas such as financial modeling, risk management, and programming languages like Python and R. Along with technical knowledge, students should also work on their soft skills, including communication, problem-solving, and analytical thinking.

In addition to these core skills, students should familiarize themselves with the evolving landscape of the finance industry. For instance, knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning will be beneficial for those looking to pursue careers in data science or FinTech. This will help future finance professionals stay ahead of the curve and make a significant impact in their careers.

Career Paths in Finance: From Investment Banking to Risk Management

One of the most sought-after careers in finance is investment banking. Investment bankers help companies raise capital, advise on mergers and acquisitions, and manage complex financial transactions. While investment banking offers attractive salaries, it is also demanding and requires individuals who can thrive under pressure.

Risk management is another area of finance that is growing. As businesses face increasing financial and operational risks, companies need professionals who can identify, assess, and mitigate those risks. Risk managers work across all sectors, including banking, insurance, and investment management. The skills you develop in risk management are transferable across many industries, making it a secure career option for students.

Moreover, financial advisory roles are perfect for students who enjoy helping others with financial planning. Financial advisors provide guidance on investment decisions, retirement planning, and tax strategies. With the rise of personal finance management tools and apps, financial advisory is evolving, and there’s a growing demand for professionals who can work with digital platforms.
