I'm Rewatching The Series And Trying To Get The Rest Of The Manga. I Don't Even Remember Why I Stopped

I'm rewatching the series and trying to get the rest of the manga. I don't even remember why I stopped liking it for a bit.

Totally normal eating habits, sponsored by Toriko, and my re-lapse into my Toriko obsession :]

Y'know rewatching Yugioh GX has made realize how well Yugi took the whole deal during his entire season. Jaden/Judai like the dub theme implies just wanted to go to duel academy to play card games, make friends, and have fun. Bro did not sign up for all these duels to the death/ for the fate of the world.

Then the characters and some people are surprised he's not immediately super heroic and serious about this. This isn't a Spiderman situation, he's literally just going to school.

Now the whole Yubel debacle is his fault. Granted when he sent them to space I imagine he thought he was sending to space timeout, not space Detroit. But when Yubel kept trying to say I love you and imply he knew Jaden he probably should've caught on that something was up. He did get there eventually after a flashback, but the lead up to it was an issue that it turns out a kid shouldn't be responsible for saving the world. At least not without a therapist.

Sounds like if it was cut originally it shouldn't have been added back without some hints to make it at least make sense. We have a lot of cut quests and lines in game that have character lore, but this one needs to saved? Didn't Messemer; despite being the poster boy for the DLC, get barely anything lore wise?

Miyazaki from Famitsu interview

"The world and story of the DLC was inspired by the mythology that he penned just as in the main title, and was created thus. To be more precise, what was created this time is part of what was created from the inspiration we took from his mythology for the main title. So, there was no additional writing done specifically for the DLC."

So apparently....Miquella wanted to marry Radahn all along, it was just cut? So...Mohg was always innocent... The bewitching thing to me was already obvious but nearly nothing made me think Radahn was involved, at least not in THAT way. Apparently also Messmer is a character created by GRRM and was already made before the DLC was produced...

I wonder when the bewitchment happened to Mohg. Did he decide to abduct Miquella and then get bewitched upon engaging with his body? Or did Miquella meet him before? I did think that it was odd that St Trina was in the Shunning Grounds right under the Cathedral where Mohg met the Formless Mother....

Y'know Digimon could actually be good if they had an actual budget and wasn't in constant threat of being cancelled. Digimon Cybersleuth could use a cutscene skip and better exp curve, but a mod adding more mons makes it better in variety. Next Order is very grindy until you get better skills and jumps in difficulty fast. I haven't finished Survive yet but it's a dark visual novel that proves that you really need good luck being called to the digital world on where you land.

The fighting games go:

Digimon Rumble Arena: 8.5/10 AI can most definitely break the rules.

Digimon Rumble Arena 2: 5.5/10 The hazards you can't turn off and the weird difficulty make it only good for playing with friends once you unlock everything.

Digimon All-Star Rumble: 2/10 Sweet Raptor Jesus Christ the story mode can suck, and it's worse if you pick characters without a projectile. That and the weird digivolution mechanics make it kind of annoying.

There is an explicit fanfic on AO3 that made Miquella better than this DLC implies. One with him as the focus and putting his relationship with Mohg as consensual (and they waited until he broke his curse). Fromsoft, fans should not be writing better characterization than you.
