Welcome to Mirrors Ranking! (Manic Divorced Homura version)

[luna-di-fuoco]

i can't believe it.....

after all this time, i finally made to A rank!!! (shoutout to my one technicality this morning where my first match got stuck on the loading screen for 20 minutes lmaooo)

it's a very bittersweet moment, but i'm proud of the progress i've made through ranked. it's been a long time coming, but this rank was very much earned

[yazzydream]

I'd call Phantom Parade supplementary canon information. In other words, as long as it doesn't directly contradict what's been said in the manga and Gege, I'm comfortable accepting it as part of the JJK universe.

Here's some extra new information from the game I heard thanks to Kuro on YouTube. I don't think it's spread out much in western fandom.

The higher-ups were the ones who originally put Sukuna's finger in the Stevenson screen at Yuji's old high school. (‼️⁉️) This is probably referring to like... higher-ups from decades ago??? But still really interesting.

Inumaki new rice ball ingredient vocabulary: "Jyako" (じゃこ), which is small [dried] fish as far as I've found. Sardine, anchovy, etc.

Hanami's Domain Expansion looks like a flower field. Well, we already knew it's name from the fanbook: "Dai Koukai" (朶頃光海) translated to "Ceremonial Sea of Light." But we get to see what it looks like in the game.

The names of two more of Yaga's cursed corpses besides Cathy (the green kappa that beat Yuji up) and Tsukamoto (Yuji's training bear):

Mokyu

And Brapan (bra+panty 😂)

{ Saki opened her eyes to find herself on the floor. Not only the floor, but a floor that definitely wasn't the floor in Tsukasa's room. She jolts up in a panic, afraid that Miku had successfully taken her from Tsukasa somehow while she was asleep. She frantically looked around until she spotted Tsukasa, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch above her. She calms down and tries to hop up to be back with her brother again }

{ And she falls back to the floor }

{ She tries again multiple times, despite her small body making it extremely difficult. She let out some sad noises as she keeps trying and failing }

[An wakes up in the middle of the night, blinking in confusion as she hears what sounds like… not quite meowing, but similar coming from the living room. She furrows her eyebrows. Rui had his plushies, but as for a real cat she didn’t think the Kamishiros had any.

She sits up, slipping out of the guest room quietly to make her way to the living room, where Rui’s friend had decided to sleep for the night. She doesn’t see anything at first, until—]

….!!

———

Your wish is granted.

[An feels her blood run cold as she spots the same white creature from that horrible night attempt to jump on the couch with Rui’s friend. That fear quickly turns to anger.]

so, taking my whole family isn’t enough? you have to take my friends too?!

[chairteeth]

Touka and Nemu are Possessive

Did you know Touka and Nemu are both possessive over things and people? As per usual this is not baseless and elaboration is imminent.

Firstly, they are possessive over certain things. It’s less the objects themselves and more related to what they consider to be theirs intellectually speaking. Let’s look at Touka’s MGS for a second. Everyone that has watched that MGS is aware that the entire plot of the hospital episode is actually this exact thing, Touka doesn’t want to share her knowledge of outer space with her classmates, because it feels hers. I went into this a little in my analysis of these two’s memoriae, but I believe this part is very simple to understand. Nemu is less overt about it and doesn’t lash out like Touka does, so it’s easier to overlook in her case due to her people pleasing tendencies. And yet, guess what we see more directly from Nemu than we do from Touka, at least at first? Possessiveness over people.

This happens multiple times, but one example is right here:

The context of this screenshot is that Touka has come to play with Ui, and this is how Nemu reacts. The phrasing is interesting, but so is the fact that Nemu clings to Ui so much. Touka does the same, though her behavior seems less pronounced in regards to people, again at least at first (this will change). You may say, well, they’re children, Nahi, children do that. Correct! However, consider the following. Their possessive behavior doesn’t disappear when they grow older (time does pass in-universe, we have evidence of it). It changes, it evolves, and it takes on what I believe is likely its final shape, but it does not disappear. Let me show you a few examples, from say the Magius era.

Note that Mokyu has only touched Touka, that’s who Iroha threw him at. Touka then kicked Mokyu away in Nemu’s direction. So the wording choice is interesting. But by all means, here’s some more:

These are from the end of Chapter 7, when Nemu is first introduced to us as one of the Magius. In fact, here’s how the manga adapted the scene:

Notice what Touka is doing? Her demeanor changes completely as soon as Nemu falters. Not only that, she turns her back, even if briefly, to the enemy, and puts herself between Nemu and the potential threat. Things of this nature are actually quite common between the two of them. You can more easily see it when compared to their behavior towards others. Another point is their physical closeness. They’re practically joined at the hip, they touch each other a lot (the sheer amount of handholding, including the anime “intimate” type, is baffling), and their sprites in the game have mirrored motions (they tilt their heads towards one another and fold their hands in opposite order). For good measure, examples of the handholding in various official media:

(LOOK at the HANDS. The microexpressions during their henshin absolutely assassinate me, personally. Touka and Nemu keep your hands off each other for two seconds challenge: difficulty impossible.)

Anyway, moving on.

“Nahi, these are all very small things” yes and my job is finding them, putting them together, and dissecting them.

A more “classic” example of possessiveness, I suppose, is in Touka’s passwords. Normally, a “typical” possessive partner will demand to have the other’s passwords. Well, in Touka and Nemu’s bizarre brand of mutual desired possessiveness, Touka just plain lets Nemu set her passwords. Behold:

Yeah what kind of behavior is that honestly. “I trust her more than myself”-COMING FROM TOUKA-“so she sets the passwords, not me”. Which also just speaks to how they're constantly by each other's side. Their trust in each other goes beyond any normal amount, and the only reason it usually doesn’t come off as possessiveness is that it’s mutual and something they both enjoy. In fact they’ve both said they need each other before. Ui said something of the sort ages ago when they were in the hospital, but during the Magius era, they attached to each other and escalated exponentially. Their Tap 8 quotes for example, which I’ve covered before.

So here’s why this interpretation makes so much sense. Nemu is easier, so let’s start with her. She’s been alone her whole life up until she met Ui and Touka, and even then, there was a sense of hollowness, loneliness, and then she bonds with Touka, and Touka gives her everything she has ever wanted, and everything she never knew she needed. One of a kind. Ui’s kindness can be replicated (for example, Iroha does that), but the connection with Touka cannot. Birds of a feather flock together (especially apt given that Touka and Nemu are a swallow and warbler respectively, while Ui is a moth and Iroha is a cuckoo—an intruder in the nest of another). Even in the anime, Nemu tells Touka that the reason she hid the truth from her was that she gave her hope. Like a tick to blood. Touka doesn’t hold any of this against her and immediately moves to be on the same page, because she understands. You’d cling to a person like Touka too, if you were Nemu. As for Touka, she’s very well aware of what I just explained, of Nemu’s value, the worth Nemu is often blind to, and Nemu does something for Touka that is critical in making her latch on: she makes her mind clearer. I mentioned this in the sadism essay as well, how since the Magius era, Touka puts herself entirely in Nemu’s care and voluntarily follows her lead, allowing herself to be controlled whenever Nemu decides. Touka is particularly prone to jumping to Nemu’s defense, like a spicy shoulder cat ready to maul you if you so much as look at their owner funny. Ui and Iroha can never elicit that level of visceral possessiveness from Touka.

This once again returns to the simple conclusion that I’ve come to many times before. They do not consider each other “people” and instead consider each other to be “themselves”. A part of their own bodies and minds, almost. That’s why they move as one, that’s why they are the only ones ever privy to their plans, that’s why they so happily chose to join together at their peak (Uwasa Queens).

Let them be their clingy selves with each other. They deserve it.

Black Saber - 1/8 Scale - Mokyu Mokyu ver. by Alter

[nighty-amy]

Finished as B2, guess that's good enough since I missed Wednesday. I hope Exedra won't have something like mirrors ranking, that was just too stressful.

And since this was the last ranking, I'd like to thank:

Blaster Team

Yozoru, for being the main enemy team killer ever since I got her on JP.

Ashley, for working amazingly well with Yozoru.

Mokyu, for diagonal blasts that sometimes were lifesaving (...and also equally frustrating when they didn't land where I wanted!) and occasional heals.

Yachiyo, for doing great as the team tank (...and sorry you always got stuck with taunt/provoke/guard memos).

Magia team:

DarkTama, for making mirrors a bit less stressful thanks to her amazing magia that I could use right on turn one.

Uwasa Mikoto, for the super amazing Reflect Debuff skill (thanks to which I stopped avoiding teams with DarkTama and Akumura-chan).

Akumura, for killing everyone on the enemy team before it killed me.

Akumura-chan, for being the "annoying debuff character" before DarkTama, and later taking the role of AI taunt.

Thank you girls for surviving the Mirror rankings with me!

{ Saki sat in front of the front door of their home. Tsukasa had left her home with Akito again, ever since that scare with Miku he won't let her go along with him to school or on errands. She understands but it doesn't mean she likes being home without him }

{ Especially now... he never came back home today. She overheard her parents, they sounded worried sick as they talked about him "going missing like Saki did". She quickly ran off and whined in Tsukasa's room after that. }

{ But now it's the middle of the night, her parents are asleep, and Tsukasa still hasn't come home. She's scratching at the front door and crying }

kyu...!! kyu...!!

[Akito would be lying if he said he wasn’t worried as well. He does a good job of hiding it, but in truth he can’t help but be concerned that Tsukasa still hasn’t come home.

He can’t sleep that night. He lays across the couch, trying his hardest to at least humor the idea of falling asleep, but to no avail. What certainly doesn’t help is the crying of that cat thing — Saki, he corrects himself — and the scratching on the door. He sighs, sitting up and making his way to the front door.]

…worried, huh? me too.

{ Saki was pretty excited when she was informed that they were staying over at Rui's house for a bit. However, she hasn't seen Rui at all somehow. She noticed his mom walking around but obviously she couldn't see her }

{ This led to Saki exploring everywhere her tiny body would let her explore so she could say hello to Rui. Eventually she finds the door to the garage, slightly open enough that she could make her way inside. Her tail wagged excitedly as she noticed a familiar purple haired boy inside }

kyu!!!

..just about done, i think- hm..?

(*rui looks over from his desk as saki came in, smiling in pleasant surprise.*)

oh, hello saki~ you found me just in the nick of time, i've got someone for you.

(*picking up something from his desk, he set down what's revealed to be a light purple stuffed rabbit in front of her. joining them on the floor.*)

i made her for you~ i remember you enjoying the company of kitty, so i thought a friend of your own would be nice~ her name is usa.

"hi, saki!!!"

[sicdicitnequamdeus]

anyway, i think it's wild to immediately start whining the minute i make a blog but i don't have any friends in this fandom anymore and i think i forgot how to get into most of my accounts everywhere, so, ahem. we missing magia record tonight.

it's been about a year since i lost my third and final account when my computer caught on fire and even with exedra on the horizon i'm just kinda.... bummed. i miss it. it's been a staple of my daily routine since day 1 of NA five and a half fucking years ago now and i still can't unlearn "oh shit it's 11 AM, better go check out server reset". i miss coming in to see momoko talking about the DVD she may or may not have lended rena and lazily sweeping through my five mirrors battles with my maxed mokyu. i miss jumping on at 3 AM every other night praying to god the announcement won't be the promised peak alt i've been hoping for because i keep spending all my rolls on stupid shit and ikumi won't leave me the hell alone. and i miss the time before the second half of the anime existed because holy shimmy and a shake was it ass.

it's made me really (REALLY) happy to see the kamihama girls all over exedra alongside the quintet so far-- i'm glad they're not going to pretend magia record never happened. but man it's just not going to be the same.

having played a lot of gacha games over the span of a decade or so, magia record always struck me as different because it never felt like it only existed to be a cashgrab. like yeah, it totally was a cashgrab at the end of the day, but it felt to me like there was so much heart in it despite that and i can only hope exedra can replicate that.

[gorochuva]

Mokyu mother hecker

also there's this

[raposarealm]

De-deification?! What- do you know what happened?

I will admit to being a bit behind on things (Pillar of Tomorrow is translated now, but I haven't read it in English yet, only attempted to do so in Japanese on the first day of the raid,) but... (kinda spoilers below)

At the end of the event, Iroha and Ui are returned to their normal states (presumably Mokyu is as well,) while Nemu and Touka stay up in... wherever the hell they were, to finish compiling the Magia Record. We see Iroha and Ui return to Mikadzuki Villa as well, and given at least the CGs from the current event Paradise Shift, their parents regained memory of them (which I'm curious to see how that's explained.) I'm not sure if Mugenroha counted as a 'deity', I was more joking than anything else. But I think that's the gist of it all, though I'm. Never really familiar with the happenings of Arc 2 and beyond, I'm still working my way through the beginning of the main story for Arc 2 I-

[magicalpeacekeepers]

Outside of Mokyu permission to punt Kyuubeys?

"Really, your human emotions..."

"What would you get out of punting us? You must know it won't make a significant change for us. I just don't understand."
