No no I get that they work on the people that way, I'm saying what does Lin think they are? Cuz in his hands they appear as the regular book and he perceives them as the regular book so when he pulled out a book for Vincent - that he believes is blind- is it just a regular book in Braille to him? Or is he giving a man he believes is blind a regular ass book?

He does not, like an explicit part of the misunderstanding when Vincent first arrived was that Lin thought he was blind the whole time. I don't know if he's learned more since but...

Wait wasn't the lin under the impression that Vincent was blind? I thought this when he recommend him that book The first Time...is the book in Braille to him?

Like he just got smacked out of it while he had that hammer what's his game plan here?

I'm just now realizing this is one of those series where the romance is quite frankly the least interesting thing to me.

It was a series of commercials they did in the early 2000s and then I think they replaced the actor and then did a few more before retiring them it was a big meme at the time though where they were just describe improbable things that are cool that the most interesting man in the world does and then he'd say "I don't always drink, but when I do it's dos Equis stay thirsty my friends" in a charming Spanish accent. https://youtu.be/guMrgRKKENI?si=1QvQcRajs9JoJoqv

I don't, but your description made me both think of that handsome gorilla that went viral a while back from Japan and those old most interesting man in the world ads for Dos Equis.

We haven't considered the one option that makes this possible though something that they would be able to do theoretically: press gang people from other worlds into their service, this will give them access to both knowledge and expertise in fields they previously had no access to. What they've achieved isn't easy but it's no doubt possible.

I heard he can fill a thousand Caps with a single utterance of the words "Spare Change?"

I heard that when he asked for "charity for a poor veteran..." a veteran welfare program was formed instantaneously.

I heard that when he made a hobo bundle he could fit an entire housing complex on it.

He is... the emperor of the beggars.

I straight up don't know what's happening, the combination of several game systems different rules and physics and logic slamming against each other and this series sporadic upload schedule has left me thoroughly confused

Well they're also incredibly underhanded, don't care about pride, morals or anything else and are deceptively sneaky and intelligent, so theoretically they could have just found that tech on one of those human puppets and killed it immediately then absolutely sacrifice some of their own since they clearly disregard human life to trick the Titans into either lowering their guard or getting caught in a trap. Hell the Titans are apex predators where they come from so they honestly could have just got the tech and then put them on a bunch of sleeping Titans because why would they bother being on guard nothing can kill them in their minds. And they're from a land where scavenging is a necessity so they could have just scavenged that tech off of robots that ran into another disaster.

Like I don't know about the anime version of the great ninja war cuz I only read that arc(cuz I stopped watching the anime when they kept adding filler during the pain arc) but in the manga at least probably because there was only like two or three characters they expected us to care about at any given time it was much easier to keep track of what was happening, and because it was one big battlefield (instead of like two big battlefields and like four smaller ones) they could have big events like the meteor impacts affect the whole battlefield to refocus what was happening. That and quite frankly kishimoto knew not to bother trying to give last minute character arcs to characters he didn't actually write with that much depth so a couple characters got cool action moments but the only characters that got like character moments were ones that had previous arcs established in full already. And on top of that people died and got injured and got just completely removed from the battlefield at certain points so it never got too cluttered for me, plus they never really tried to make madara or the mother of all chakra particularly sympathetic even if they made Obito sympathetic. It really is like the moral of fixing society that he wanted for my hero kind of made a lot of the actions and character plot lines and choices people made have less impact in any direction, but not in a way that's nuanced like full metal, just in a way that's flat. Like I didn't hate the ending of it or anything I just kind of didn't care by the time I got to the end because it was just sort of exhausting instead of exciting. (My caveat is that the todoroki family character arcs are the only ones that worked 100% even if dabi surviving that fight made no f****** sense, the epilogue chapter for them made me fine with that.)

The pacing definitely hurt, but it was more so that I never felt like there were stakes like I never felt like anybody that mattered was in danger because every time I have that thought previously they never were and then anytime they set up a situation where they clearly could be they backed out, and my other main problem was just that a lot of the character arcs were...odd? Like that weird racism thing with spinner and the octopus guy where they just said quirk racism is an ongoing concern in society despite not providing any evidence for it in the previous like 300 chapters, or the fact that they genuinely could not let a single villain actually just be villainous by the end they all had tragic backstories or some attempt to make them sympathetic, or things like toga not actually being that sympathetic of a character. if you just look at her actions, and her acknowledgment of the fact that she knew what she was doing was wrong the whole time but just liked doing it, but somehow she framed societies rejection of her at that point as a failing of society when I would argue that's a society functioning properly - she's quite literally just a serial killer that's a cute anime girl so people feel bad. Or how the big bad villain couldn't be the big bad villain because it was a secret plot twist! actually it was all for one all along. Or because of how often and how sporadically it cut between different parts of the battlefield I could no longer keep track of where anyone was because there was just quite frankly too many people in the battlefield that they kept trying to put focus on simultaneously when they didn't need to. But I will say without the pacing problems it'll probably just be a little bit worse than the great ninja war - where the only real gripe I have with that is that the whole mother of all chakra showing up final fight sage of six paths blood thing kind of felt tacked on at the last minute (like if boruto didn't exist her inclusion just seems entirely unnecessary and out of nowhere)

The pacing problems at least yeah, the way some of those character arcs play out can't really be fixed without adding like a lot of filler to make some of them feel less abrupt and disjointed.

Jesus Christ every bully is so God damn aggro like that staring through the windows scratching the glass s*** is something the serial killer does in a horror movie.

Why are bullies in Japanese and Korean stories so hardcore, the only other times I've seen bullies this intense are like Stephen King stories where they always have the one bully that's a complete f****** sociopath.

This is a much stronger last chapter, it still doesn't make that last arc good (my problem with this series' ending wasn't the last chapter it was the last arc) but if it originally ended like this people could at least remember this series as having a good ending, it's got a bit more wrap up and aftercare and shows a little bit more of their life post Time skip. (Personally I don't actually care about ochako either individually or with deku, I consider her characterization serviceable at best most of the time(which I could honestly say about like half of his class) but I recognize that for a lot of people this is basically all they wanted from the ending for some reason)
TLDR. Well executed, I'd still rather read Vigilante.

It sure is, last minute bonus chapters just to set up a movie.

It feels a little late in the game to have another bonus chapter setting up a movie.
