Orthrus tells it like it is. I runno if I could pick a favorite though. You know what makes me really sad is that there is no Unicorn in DSRK like there is in Persona. I wanted to give Raidou a pony
and I actually debated for a bit whether or not Narumi would really part with a bonus. of money. this early on. But then I realized he would want to start off on the right foot, and since he wouldn't know what R likes besides summoning demons (nothing? beej?), in a v. male way he would give R something N likes. And when R goes SIGHHHH even at that N would be like ;A; NOT WORKING SEDUCE HARDER

Clawing under the table yesssssssss omg write faster
Gouto is still my favorite character, man. I was also thinking maybe he'd call Raidou super pretty girl names, but the humor would be lost in translation.
Gouto is amazing, what you said @ amei re: really DSRK as a whole is his story--that is terrifyingly plausible. And it's so sad! I mean when you (generic you) first encounter him in the game you think "haha talking lolcat" or "tv trope: animal familiar" or w/e, and then the story invests him with all this character depth and long-term tragedy. Gaaah. I love that there's so much latent poignancy under the antics and lulz. Man you know Narumi's past is probably killer too. Granted, not a centuries-long epic like Gouto's but prolly N's whole family is dead because of something he did while still a covert op, or some shit.
That's what I love about the DSRK games, they are lol exactly until they are not, and there is practically no modulation between, which makes the Not parts surprisingly poignant. Like the case where you Kevorkian Narita's tru love because she has become a deformed abomination and he couldn't save her. !!! And then b-back to lol again

unpacking all this just sets my dorky heart aglowwwwmotorbikeJune 28 2009, 18:51:13 UTC
No idea what Y is except, like, this network of points and people all across AU Japan, connected to the Four Great Families. Super staunch Lawful Good alignment, their mission is noble and they get shit done man. Gouto's punishment could be self-imposed, yeah, but am dyingggg to know what happened because G does say it's "about the cruelest sentence you can come up with". Also I seem to recall a chick at Shin Sekai who has her own Gouto-douji -- man in the hat next to her -- so maybe it's just a standard punishment for fucking up. Not sure how come that guy is a guy while Gouto is a kitty. Bet that's a personal choice. Kitties can have it pretty sweet, idk

Also speaking of national voices, how politically charged is SA, wow. I was actually surprised/let down that Abaddon dropped that course and went for a vague religious charge instead, which given the SMT standard wasn't nearly as incendiary. I really want to hear more about what women thought about the changing fashions, wah! I also love that Tae is a hero for so many girls still mired in tradition ♥
"Toots" alakjsdlfksjdlfkjl; you actually did it, also G sashaying...!
Thank you for the Orthrus cameo, ORTHRUS GOOD, I don't know why but demons speaking in capslock never gets old.

iirc she said he was a cockroach before, until she told him to change. Maybe she squashed him and he got shuffled into a man's body.
