On Astral Tides: From Humble Freelancer To Astral Emperor
Side Two Hundred And Ten – International Internet Reactions

WTV broadcast from the Imperial Palace, Tokyo, streamed on YouTube 20^th December, broadcasted via the BBC in Britain.

1038 @ Well, that happened. I shouldn’t really be surprised anymore, should I?

1039 @ No, @1038, you should not be. Expect the unexpected must be our new motto!

1040 @ I think everyone is missing the point. Which is… how beautiful were those women? We have a famous actress, a Japanese Princess… two technically, but that other one didn’t leave much of an impression… and then those three women who appeared from nowhere…

1041 @ Don’t be rude, @1040, it’s just like in Britain, there’s Princess Eleanor, but she has cousins who are still Princesses too. They just… don’t have the same responsibilities!

1042 @ That girl with the blue and white hair, she… she’s a sword, right?

1043 @DreamingQueen She’s a woman before she’s a sword. Besides, how is that any different to Shaeula Tu Shae Dannan? I think that so long as you’re beautiful, you’re a woman! That Akio, even his sword is stunning.

1044 @ChaosEngine The point is being missed, as usual. I should have better things to do than to talk to idiots on the internet…

1045 @ Yet you’re here, @ChaosEngine, so I don’t think you get to call us idiots?

1046@ChaosEngine Touché, @1045. They do say never argue with idiots, as they’ll drag you down to the same level and beat you with experience. I hope people at least attempted to heed my advice prior to this?

1047 @ Which was your favourite? Those golden eyes really have me chills, and her figure was cute. But it’s hard to disregard the mommy nature of the green-haired chick…

1051 @ Me, definitely the sword cutie. Why, when she cried, I got super pissed off. Who the hell does that dick of a Prince think he is, calling her a tool? I bet I can think of some ways he’d like to use her [This comment has been edited by moderation and the user DM’d]

1053 @ You mean about stockpiling and prepping, ChaosEngine? My family said you’re talking crazy, but… I’ve got a modest supply down in the basement. Water and canned food, anyway…

1054@CutiePie19 I did! @ChaosEngine, you seem like you give good advice, and honestly, I’m a little scared. Did you see that storm? The terrorism was bad enough. Even here at uni it’s all anyone talks about. So I’ve made sure I have an emergency kit ready.

1055 @ Seems like a lot of the usual suspects are in the chat. It’s become a bit of a tradition, hasn’t it? But man, that broadcast… the BBC made a huge deal out of it, and I can see why. Akio sure is badass, you see him cutting that lightning bolt? His reactions were unreal…

1056 @KingOfOlympus Pathetic, @1055, you call that lightning? I piss hotter, faster bolts than that puny spark he sliced. Perhaps I should show him just what it means to be the true King of the Gods! Tsukuyomi, huh? Worthless. The moon cannot compare to the heights of Olympus!

1057 @ Damn, the moment someone mentions it, he appears. You still aren’t blacklisted yet? I know they’ve banned you a few times, @KingOfOlympus

1058 @KingOfOlympus Ban me? ME? Laughable. The THUNDERCOCK goes where he will, and ALL women kneel before me. KNEEL!

1059 @ Just ignore him, @1057, though… Actually I’ve heard rumours on the internet that Akio was supposed to be Tyr’s Chosen. Think he’s telling lies, or trying to appeal to the Japanese more? I mean, looks like he is marrying their Princess Mikasa. Lucky bastard, she was kind of cute. Not a stunner like some of his other women, but… Princesses are just built different, right?

1060 @CutiePie19 Oh, oh… you’re right. I’m sure if you look up some of the other clips with him in, you can find mentions of that. We talked about it after that last broadcast. Huh, that was with Arisu Arisugawa as well, wasn’t it?

1061 @DreamingQueen Yes, I believe I can help with that. Here. Talkshow.jpg. To summarise, he claimed to speak for Tyr. Quite the romantic god. Heroism and bravery. He’s seriously impressive.

1062 @CutiePie19 Yeah, I don’t know what I’d do if he asked me to go out with him. I’m dangerously cute, if he sees me in the street, he’d definitely check me out!

1063 @ Yeah, sure @CutiePie19, trying waaaaaaay too hard to actually be a girl. Guy In Real Life, right?

Comment deleted by moderation.

1065 @ Pics or we don’t believe you! @CuteiePie19

1066 @ChaosEngine Always with the nonsense. I don’t care if she’s a girl or a guy, and nor should you. Think about what we’ve seen. And I don’t mean him grabbing a new woman… actually, scratch that. It’s actually very important. But first… we all know about the terrorism, yeah? There’s been a lot of grim stuff posted worldwide about it. Widespread, coordinated attacks, though Japan was hit the hardest and… the United States was suspiciously untouched.

1067 @KingOfOlympus As always, @CutiePie19 @DreamingQueen you are more than welcome to COME RIDE THE THUNDER! But our dour friend has a point. Escalation is a certainty. I do not condone the murder of schoolgirls, not at all. No, such girls would surely have grown up to be beautiful swans, and I, a mighty cob, would be more than happy to take them under my wing…

1068 @ All he cares about is sex. If he’s not Zeus, he’s a damn good roleplayer.

1069 @ I think I get it. But is nobody talking about that God? Hachiman? Gods can’t just walk around like you or me, or the world doesn’t make sense anymore.

1070 @ Well, @1069, what the Japanese consider Gods wouldn’t match the Western definition, and perhaps isn’t even along the lines of what @KingOfOlympus might consider Divine. I’ve read some manga. Hachiman’s a God, but also an… well, ancestor spirit, maybe? Demigod might be better. Like Hercules, you know?”

1071 @KingOfOlympus No, no, NO! It’s Heracles, @1070, but you are far from useless. Yes. That pretender is merely a Demigod. Not worthy of licking my feet. And never anything else, for he is not a beautiful woman! Now, a beautiful female Demigod… SHE WOULD BE WORTHY OF BEARING MY CHILD…

1072 @ Damn it, he’s off again. @Mods, nuke him again, and for heaven’s sake, just update your shitty software to detect VPN’s.

1073 @ No, @ChaosEngine, you’re right. Even looking at the terrorist incidents, there’s nothing akin to the storm that engulfed the Imperial Palace out of nowhere. And if you look back… huh, where’s that guy @Niko.Truthseekers.com when you need him? He’s a useful resource…

1074 @ Oh, escalation, @1073? Yeah, I worry. Messing with the climate is bad, right? Butterfly effects and all that. That storm could cause droughts in Africa, or melt the ice in Greenland…

1075 @ Not just that. It was a demonstration, and a warning. He is marrying that Princess, after all. He’s basically saying ‘don’t push me around’. And that Prince, he had no choice but to back down. Seems like sword-girl and the other two belonged to the Princess’ family, yeah?

1076 @DreamingQueen Taking the hand of the Princess, and their family treasures, all in one fell swoop. Honestly, it makes my heart flutter a bit. You know, I’ve been compiling all the available information on his wives, but there isn’t a lot. I’ll have to add Princess Mikasa to the list…

1077 @ Damn, *whistles* @DreamingQueen if it comes with pics, send a brother a link, will ya?

1078 @DreamingQueen Most certainly not! No vulgar men should gaze upon such beauty! Women should enjoy women!

1081 @ Yeah, looks like they banned @KIngOfOlympus again, no way he’d be able to ignore that comment. Honestly, @DreamingQueen, I’m curious too. Don’t get mad, I’m not looking for cute and dirty pics, but… you’ve seen some of the footage from the Japan terror attacks, haven’t you? Some of those girls are seriously impressive. Hey, @ChaosEngine you think we don’t get it? I do. It’s power. Akio’s basically the most influential person in Japan right now, and he’s shown he can bully the Imperial Family and get away with it. Worse, their own daughter sided with him. Of course, the Prince was a dickhead.

1082 @ I don’t want to be that guy, but… is the cute sword-girl safe with Akio? She called him daddy, after all… suspicious, if you ask me…

1083 @CutiePie19 Eww, that says more about you than him @1082. From what I see, it was entirely innocent. She really adores him, and he cares for her. He’s a good guy. You know what, I feel a bit sorry for our Princess. They looked good together in London… she was even there watching via video link. That must have been hard for her…

1084 @ So we’ve got a God endorsing the Imperial Family, and them claiming Divine heritage. Not too unusual, the Divine Right of Kings is long established. But seems that the Princess got all the power, and Akio got the Princess. And the sword. Tyr, Tsukuyomi… basically, isn’t he like the typical fantasy hero now?

1085 @Niko.Truthseekers.com Sorry I’m late @1073. Well, comments move so fast it’s hard to keep up, but… yeah. I can’t really talk much about it, but escalation is inevitable by nature of how it all works.

1086 @ I want to know how they did that trick with the birds? Was it really a Divine miracle?

1087 @ I miss Shaeula. I guess our ways to seeing her have been bar-barred?

1088 @ I’m more a Himeko guy, @1087, it’s a little edgy being into Shaeula, don’t want to get on a list, bro!

1089 @ I’m with you, @1088. That girl is seriously impossibly gorgeous. But… all we can do is weep into our pillows, knowing that Akio has her in his clutches, and in his bed too, unless he’s impotent. I bet @KingOfOlympus prays to the real Zeus for that to happen every day…

1090 @ Maid supremacy for me! The crazy stare just makes it hotter!

1091 @Niko.Trusthseekers.com You guys ought to watch what you say. The internet may be anonymous, but it’s amazing what certain people can find out. And Akio is very protective of his women. Get too slanderous and he might just show up at your door one day…

1092 @CutiePie19 Yes everyone, be nice! We girls like a bit of attention and praise, but we’ll never date a creeper, got it?

1093 @CasualCourtier Well, keep this between you and me, @1083 but those in the know know, if you catch my drift. Watch this space…

1094 @ChaosEngine Sounds like you know more than you’re letting on @Niko.Truthseekers.com but then you always did have the scoops. Got any thoughts on matters?

1095 @Niko.Truthseekers.com Right now I’m in Norway. Can’t say much about it, but… my sister and I got wrapped up in the terrorist mess. Luckily, we weren’t the targets and we got out okay. It’s not good for my health though. But suffice it to say, even with the truth out in the open, everyone’s keeping their cards close to their chests.

1096 @ChaosEngine Utterly wise. It’s like I’ve been saying. Plan, prepare, persist. But this was Akio showing his hand holds a number of aces. Huh, anyone got any screenshots of the Japanese reaction? I’d like to see before proving my point.

1097 @ Here. NicoNico.jpg

1098 @ I don’t speak moon runes

1099 @ Me neither, guy.

1100 @ Let me, I can use an app… okay, here… damn, the way they have their scrolling comments is wild. Makes no sense to me, so some of them are cut off, but… let’s see…

I’m in tears. I remember my grandfather telling me about the day the Emperor was forced to recant his Divinity. The nation mourned…

Hachiman! Kami Hachiman has endorsed the Imperial Family, and Oshiro-san’s marriage into it!

He cut lightning! Damn, he really can do anything!

Princess Mikasa looks so regal in her hakama. She’s the only member of the Imperial Family doing anything…

Princess Mikasa to inherit! It’s time for change in Japan!

Akio-sama should be Emperor! Our Emperor should be a warrior!

… Arisugawa-sama is my Goddess. She’s still single, right? Akio-kun hasn’t sunk his claws into her yet, I hope.

… provoked the terrorists. Japan is a peaceful land. All these so-called Chosen should be arrested. The safety of the people comes first!

Akio-sama! Akio-sama! Akio-sama!

Prince Gorohito is so cruel. Tsukumogami should be treated with love, just as the tools they are birthed from are treasured.

He cut lightning and banished the night! Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were husband and wife, and history is repeating!

Japan will surely prosper with the blessing of Hachiman and the Gods!

When times change, we need to change with it!

Akio-sama and his allies defeated those terrorists! Could any of the Imperial Family other than the Princess do that?

The Regalia called him father! Maybe Akio-sama has secret Imperial blood?

He who wields the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is surely the true Emperor!

The blue-haired girl isn’t a slave! Let her be with Akio-kun!

Princess Mikasa has taken on Ise’s burden with dignity. Let her marry in honour!

Akio-kun, you lucky bastard!

1101 @ There’s lots more, but if you disregard the pointless spam about how cute the women are, it’s split mostly into those who support the Imperial Family, though even amongst those, Prince Gorohito is widely criticised. I have to say, the framing of that shot is flawless. Here… cryingsword.gif

1102 @ Yeah, seeing the poor girl forced to reach out, weeping, while clinging to Akio, while the prince looks on, confused, as if he can’t quite realise why she’s resisting… the stuff memes are made of. And as they are reposted, Akio’s stock rises. The second side of the sentiment. Those who don’t support the Imperial Family are calling for Akio or his new fiancée Princess Mikasa, to guide Japan.

1103 @Niko.Truthseekers.com Everyone knows the impact of a shocking image. I’m sure you can all think of some examples. This one… it perfectly encapsulates Akio’s qualities. It seems rather purposeful. But sentiment is fickle. The terrorist attacks have stoked up fears, and… Akio’s display will only push those who fear the unknown to greater paranoia. Mother of mercy, I know what’s going on, and I’m still terrified at times.

1104 @CasualCourtier Honestly, the situation has gone further than anticipated. Here, preparations are underway. It’ll be as big, if not bigger…

1105 @ It’s not just that image. There’s been a new one circulating. Goldeneyeddissaproval.gif

1106 @ Damn, @1105 that’s cold. The golden-eyed, silver-haired… shield? Mirror, maybe? She’s glowering, and the caption is just perfection. No wisdom, no compassion, no courage. It’s then paired with another one. Goldeneyedrespect.gif shows her smiling warmly, and wisdom to guide, compassion to embrace, courage to protect. It’s clearly drawing comparisons between Prince Gorohito and Akio. It’s a savage indictment. There’s more appearing all the time, but…

1107 @GamzeeMakara It WiLl TaKe A fUcKiNg MiRaClE fOr ThE sTuPiD pRiNcE tO tUrN tHiS aRoUnD, yEaH? I DoN’t Know WhAt AdDlEs HiS bRaIn-PaN, bUt I sUsPeCt FeAr. NoBoDy LiKeS lOsInG pOwEr, BuT… pOwEr NoW iSn’T PoWeR tHeN!

1108 @ Damn, why you gotta talk sense when you type in such a troll fashion @GamzeeMakara. Hurts my damn brain working out what you say.

1109 @GamzeeMakara ChIlLaX bRo. HaVe A fAyGo AnD eNjoY tHe ShOw. It’S cLeArLy PrE-mEdITaTeD aNd OnGoInG!

1100 @ChaosEngine Yes. Media manipulation is the new battlefield. The BBC broadcast this urgently, which is fine. But… any British here? Check your TV listings. Notice that as of midnight tonight, there’s a new channel. WTV. World Tree Vision. A Japanese channel, and the lead presenter is Arisu Arisugawa. It isn’t in any printed guides. No, it’s appeared seemingly over the last few minutes. And the program listings are interesting too. It seems the new channel is running a lot of filler and reruns, while they sort their schedule, but instead, our version of WTV has programs such as this. Princess Eleanor biography: Britain’s Green Knight, or Heroic battles, a Gods’ Chosen Perspective, and even Biographies of a Faerie: Shaeula Tu Shae Dannan, one of the Heroes who saved Britain. Telling, don’t you think? @CasualCourtier, stop being cryptic. If you’re going to hint, just spill it.

1102 @CutiePie17 Oh, my eyes. @mods, you were too late! Cute girls like me shouldn’t have to read that. Sick! Somebody check his hard drive.

1103 @ Shut up you sicko! Shaeula is an angel, she doesn’t do things like that, and if she did… wouldn’t ever be with you!

1104 @ It’s not like… I don’t get it. No, don’t ban me! I’m not a pervert, but… she is extremely cute. Guys adore that. I do! But hah, you think I’d try and steal Akio’s girlfriend? How we forget so quickly, he just cut fucking lightning!

1105 @ I see. WTV is propaganda, but… it seems very Akio-centric, doesn’t it? I’ve found the listings. I think it’s going to be an interesting channel. I’ll be tuning in, no question.

1106 @CasualCourtier I can’t help it. I’m not supposed to say anything. But… let’s just say, there’s been work on a rather fabulous wedding gown at the Palace. The famous designer Miss Burton has been at the Palace a number of times. And after this broadcast… excitement is high. Our Princess… it seems spring has come for her too…

1107 @ You’re saying, @CasualCourtier, that princess Eleanor is getting married. The implication is… no, Akio as well?

1108 @CasualCourtier It’s more than my life’s worth to say it outright. But everyone knows and is preparing for a big event at New Year Honours. And everyone understands just who is being honoured there, right?

1109 @DreamingQueen A fairytale romance… it’s hard to call it that. He has so many women. But… it’s certainly a story for the ages. I wonder… do they seek solace with each other while he is away? Wiping each other’s tears gently, bathing together, showing off their underwear, hugging each other when they sleep…?

1110 @ Oh damn, now… I think I need a lie down. In a dark room. With… some tissues.

1111 @ Me too! That’s quite the image! Wouldn’t be surprised though…

1114 @ I don’t see it. From what I gathered from the few times they’ve been on TV, they seem to adore Akio. There’s more to love that sex. But most of you are probably virgin losers, which is why you’re here commentating instead of being out on dates…

1115 @GamzeeMakara SiCk FiReS mY gOoD mAn. BuT rEaL mEn HavE nO tIMe FoR rOmAnCe, WhEn ThE wOrLd Is So TrOuBlEd!

1116 @ Bullshit. @GamzeeMakara I think the very fact we’re here talking about a guy who can summon storms, split lightning and make the sun bloom at night, while still cozying up to a number of women, tells me otherwise.

1117 @ Yeah. Maybe that’s the secret? Like… love power? If so… @DreamingQueen, @CutiePie19, DM me! I’ll become a hero for you both!

1118 @CutiePie19 Haha @1117 sorry but nope, I can tell you’re not my type!

1119 @Revelation You wretched idiots disgust me, you know. Chattering inanities and lauding a true Devil while the world spirals into despair.

1120 @ Uh oh. Religious nut incoming!

1121 @ Piss off @Revelation. Do you have time to be here, aren’t there loads more kids to kill?

1122 @Revelation It simply offends me. None of you have any sense. Why are you cheering for him? He’s a lustful, impious brute who only cares about himself! He’s accumulating wealth, power and women, and it’ll be too late to protest when he’s got his boot on your throat!

1123 @ChaosEngine There’s something to be said for being cautious @Revelation, but… let me ask you this? How many children has he murdered? What terrorist acts has he perpetrated? I agree, he’s definitely a danger, of course, all the Gods’ Chosen are, but… all we can judge him on is his deeds. And conversely, we judge terrorists on theirs…

1124 @CutiePie19 I hate this. I just want to talk about cool things, can’t we all just enjoy the wonder of it all? Like a sword that becomes a cute girl? Speaking of cute girls, wasn’t that one adorable this morning? Little Ami. I get it. If I was sick, or my family was… I’d definitely feel upset that I couldn’t get a miracle, but… if she can be so composed about it, I’d feel like a terrible adult if I argued…

1125 @ Screw off, terrorist sympathiser!

1126 @ Better get in here fast, @mods! It’s against TOS and human decency to support terrorists!

1127 @youwouldbarmywaymeme.gif If she was here, she’d cut you down, jackass!

1128 @ I think the golden-eyed girl from the broadcast would have a lot to say. I quote “There is happiness in servitude, if the masters are worthy.” Now before you all call bullshit on me for slavery apology, don’t miss the point. We all have to make accommodations with reality. Who here is truly free? We work a job, have to bow to our bosses all day. We have governments, laws and the police above us. That’s a good thing, mostly… it keeps the strong from abusing the weak, or at least it should… shit, we all know this is far from a perfect world. Hell, we have to listen to our parents, at the most basic level. Then if you’re religious, like our rude interloper here, there’s God to follow too, and below him, whatever church you go for. So I agree with her. If we’ve got to follow someone, then I like what I’m seeing so far…

1129 @BystanderPete Yeah, @1128 is right. Unless you’re a Gods’ Chosen yourself, what are you going to do? The genie isn’t going back in the bottle, and we could ask Akio very nicely to ‘please don’t use your powers, just go back to your ordinary boring life with your dozen wives and...’ Wait, I’m starting not to feel like supporting him all of a sudden…

1130 @ The rich get richer, the poor get nothing! It’s the same with money, women or anything else…

1131 @BystanderPete Anyway, as I was saying before I got terribly jealous, a feeling that’s only growing moment by moment… if Akio is a good man, we could probably persuade him to behave. If he’s not… well, how can we stop him? So your point, @Relevation, is… quite frankly, idiotic.

1138 @ Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly people start raging when their argument gets refuted. Not that he had much of an argument, except… ‘we good, he bad!’

1139 @GamzeeMakara I lIKe ThAt AkIo NeVeR cLaImS tO bE a GoOd GuY. nEvEr TrUsT aNyoNe WhO sIgNaLs ThEiR vIrTuE.

1140 @ChaosEngine Yes, I agree with our trolling, typing impaired stoner friend here… deeds, not actions. And just from the broadcast alone… we see that these so-called Imperial Regalia were saved by him, and they see him as a father. And he is prepared to stand up to the ruling family of his nation for their happiness, even if it’s also his new fiancée’s family too. Besides, Princess Mikasa seems delighted to be with him.

1141 @DreamingQueen It pains me to say it of a man, but… I find it impossible to believe he could inspire such emotion from so many women of clearly strong will, if he was a bad guy. That doesn’t mean he’s good. As a woman, I’m honestly angry at the fact none of them will ever get the full attention and love they deserve, but… it’s not my place to complain, is it? I’ll simply keep my Goddess journals. Might need a new one, if some of the rumours in this chat are true…

1142 @DreamingQueen Besides, there’s no cause for fear. In fact, doesn’t it dispel fear?

1143 @ How so, @DreamingQueen?

1144 @CutiePie19 Oh, I get it, I get it! But then, I do have brains as well as being hellishly cute! It’s easy to be afraid when we hear about terrorist attacks and strange powers, seeing storms being called, lightning being cut. But… when you see someone standing up for a crying girl against a bully, or the smile on the face of a woman in love… well, we can all understand and sympathise.

1145 @DreamingQueen Exactly @CutiePie19, exactly. I certainly felt awe at the broadcast, even if I didn’t get all of it. Seeing a so-called Demigod, the stunt with the birds, the storm… gorgeous girls that appeared from seemingly nowhere… it makes it hard to judge, and what we can’t understand, we often fear. But… WTV, these broadcasts, the programming that’s been added to the British version… it’s all to make us understand.

1146 @ And in understanding, realise there’s unlikely to be anything to fear?

1147 @ I’m just excited about Shaeula’s biography! No-one will bar-bar my way to watching that. You think they’ll have new footage, or just replay the old stuff?

1148 @ From what I gather, the Japanese have it harder than we do. We’ve changed our Royals no end of times, but they haven’t, so… well, don’t take this the wrong way, but we’d take to it easier.

1149 @CasualCourtier Be careful, @1148, we’re fiercely loyal to the Queen… but nobody knows even a fraction of what Princess Eleanor suffers for the people, for the country. It’s why it’s so great, seeing her smile, even if she’s rather confused by it all… no, I’d best say no more, must protect her honour!

1150 @GachaOtaku Hi, forgive me for any mistake. I’m Japanese, live in England. My English not bad, not perfect, so… sorry again. But… my grandparents back home, very troubled. Me, I happy! Akio-sama, great hero! Marrying Princess, such blessings, even Kami Hachiman accept their union. But… grandparents see it as disrespect. Disrespect our Emperor, our traditions. Akio-sama should be diffident, polite… not talk back to elders. Me, my friends… we see it differently.

1151 @ Screw that. He basically tried to steal Akio’s new daughter!

1152 @ Thanks for the insight, @GachaOtaku. Yeah, it seems the internet sentiment is in his favour, but… the older generation don’t exactly use NicoNico or YouTube, do they? It’ll take time to judge the mood. But… it’s changed the nature of the protests over there, so a win’s a win!

1153 @ Hey, @GachaOtaku, did you enter the prize draw at the charity concert? Win anything good?

1154 @ O.M.G. @1153, is that relevant here?

1155 @GachaOtaku Yes, very happy! Bought t-shirts and merchandise and rolled the idol gacha. Won rare one, Suzumebachi! Very lucky!

1156 @ Nice! Not the rarest… man, I’d love an Arisu Arisugawa figure, especially if it was… cast off, right?

1157 @ Nico.Truthseekers.com Don’t say I didn’t warn you all. Be careful what you say about Akio and his friends. Internet anonymity isn’t flawless, you know…

1158 @ Yeah, let’s get back to what matters… which one of the new girls is your favourite? Me, I like the mature one!

1159 @ Good call, cute girls are bigger news than Akio’s continued streak of world domination! Me, I like the crying sword girl. She’s got that cheeky, tomboy appeal!

1160 @ Police, police, we’ve got a predator over here! Though honestly, it’s hard to overlook the beauty with the golden eyes. She’s so… intense!

1161 @DreamingQueen I suppose I’ll chime in. I think that each of them has their own charms. The jade-haired beauty is very well-endowed, while the sword girl has her energy and enthusiasm, while the silver-haired one strikes me as intellectual. But you can’t discount Princess Mikasa! I think she was very bold, standing up to her family for what was right. Oh, I’m biting my handkerchief with envy and jealousy right now, but… I think she and Akio go well together!

1162 @ No kidding. Talk online is she’s hardly ever in the public eye, plain and modest, but… she looks damn fine in that red, white and gold outfit…

1163 @ I can’t get over the fact that one man can monopolise so many… life is cruel…

1164 @ I’m throwing my vote for Arisu Arisugawa! She’s not new, but she’s got that star quality, and if she was your woman, she’d always treat you coldly, looking at you with those inscrutable black eyes, lips curled…

1165 @ Damn man, @1164 has some freaky fetishes. No, I’ll stick to praying for Akio… not only does he have his hands full with all his fiancées, but now he’s going to be genuine Royalty, and… I don’t think the rest of his new family is going to take what’s being said too well…

…
