Reading more in/spectre for ibis icons and god, I still can't get over how cool the concept for the Steel Lady Nanase arc is
Quinn Angstrom
Steel Lady Nanase, the concept of a ghost of a murdered idol back for revenge, given form not as an actual ghost but as a manifestation of the urban legends spreading around her death
Quinn Angstrom
Invincible as long as the occult rumors continue to spread
Quinn Angstrom
But the truth behind her death was very mundane and uninteresting, so it would only be rejected by the internet
Quinn Angstrom
so the only way to stop her is to muddy the water by presenting alternate explanations for her that are also wrong but more plausible
Quinn Angstrom
the finale is Kuro, who is immortal, fighting the ghost and getting killed by it repeatedly to stall for time
Quinn Angstrom
while Kotoko hosts a discussion online where she presents four possible explanations for what the truth of Nanase's death and the rumors of a ghost might be
Quinn Angstrom
but aren't
Quinn Angstrom
a courtroom of lies against lies
dragon time
god its SUCH a good arc
Quinn Angstrom
Explanation 1: A Detecetive Conan-esque convoluted but mundane murder mystery solution to the main kill attributed to Nanase's ghost
Quinn Angstrom
Explanation 2: A story that starts with accepting that the ghost is real, but explains her actions with a narrative that suggests that her purpose in reviving has now been fulfilled, meaning that she'll disappear now
Quinn Angstrom
each explanation that gains traction weakens the phantom
Quinn Angstrom
and Kotoko is just
Quinn Angstrom
so FUCKING good at this
Quinn Angstrom
less like that Explanation 3 involves a deranged cross-dressing murderer
