SeeYouInShibuya
[dcst] Chapter 198 - and I'm mad about it
SeeYouInShibuya
I'm not naive, I knew he was gonna do this
SeeYouInShibuya
I AM STILL MAD (angry)
SeeYouInShibuya
Fuck you Xeno and the horse you rode in on
SeeYouInShibuya

SeeYouInShibuya
Back to this very ethical question here
SeeYouInShibuya
And I'm here for this part
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/7zIkSOFwTxrtTBkrNi1N4U.png
SeeYouInShibuya
Senku's sarcasm here (LOL)
SeeYouInShibuya
'Long live Whyman'
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/3OVfUv5cBEHrmCjX8C79MZ.png
SeeYouInShibuya
Ugh
SeeYouInShibuya
In support of his idea, he hasn't scaled like this before
SeeYouInShibuya
So to his credit I guess, Xeno might be useful
SeeYouInShibuya
But I'd still rather they shove him into the ocean
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/6muKtMJKKc8038P6nILkIW.png
SeeYouInShibuya
Call back to Ryusui just being like /dumps it on/
SeeYouInShibuya
Ryusui is way less of a problem than Xeno
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/u4Fiz6jYzzvWNEKuPst1m.png
SeeYouInShibuya
So he is also still scarred
SeeYouInShibuya
Now I don't know what explanation we're gonna have for that
SeeYouInShibuya
there was a theory that those who stayed awake the whole time needed more time petrified to fix the scars but that doesn't account for Taiju
SeeYouInShibuya
the real truth is the author wants it that way
SeeYouInShibuya
The end
SeeYouInShibuya
XD

SeeYouInShibuya
Eternal life is terrifying - that's actually a decent thought
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/4HhpyZCOIoTFm5wGInhJhO.png
SeeYouInShibuya
Senku coming in with what my problem was ^
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/7BGjiDJntALOfw4yzMgjdz.png
SeeYouInShibuya
Xeno your thirst for world domination has been noted
SeeYouInShibuya
Again
SeeYouInShibuya
And Senku's response is perfect -
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/twtPHZ4pXFIArnk21XJr0.png
SeeYouInShibuya
'This is already a dictatorship'
SeeYouInShibuya
It's just neither of theirs
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/5GKzAdumXXQYOOu4MT7Rqg.png
SeeYouInShibuya
They're prisoners on their own planet
SeeYouInShibuya
Nice wide open prison but all the same
SeeYouInShibuya
sounds a lot like VT tbh hm seems like his reaction is about what I expected (LOL)
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/Kqvwd9Ol7fXtiZ27jKYmn.png
SeeYouInShibuya
Okay I am not surprised this plan comes from Gen
pantherdragon
everyone can live forever and they're trapped indefinitely? wow how could anyone see a similarity
SeeYouInShibuya
Senku would agree not just for cooperation because he can't give a shit
SeeYouInShibuya
(LOL)
SeeYouInShibuya
yeah idk what you mean pfft totally not at all like that
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/4XNWuAWQcso8eUzlnGjtTJ.png
SeeYouInShibuya
Gen the Mentalist
pantherdragon
complete with something which may or may not just be a malfunctioning AI
SeeYouInShibuya
I think this is less a mind meld and and more they discussed this
SeeYouInShibuya
(thinking)
pantherdragon
yeah they probably chatted it over off camera
pantherdragon
rude, manga
pantherdragon
give us more of them plotting
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/7g0bnBOxiiHbIwfIh8ksFm.png
SeeYouInShibuya
I tripped over the 10 years
SeeYouInShibuya
But I think he means from when he and Senku began talking and non-chronologically now that Senku is "20"
SeeYouInShibuya
Nobody likes you Xeno, go to hell
SeeYouInShibuya
https://images.plurk.com/2KR0Vj8RtnuMXCX0bxSjsg.png
pantherdragon
creeper
SeeYouInShibuya
And a roadmap
pantherdragon
I'd like to go on record in saying that just because Gen suggested this plan
pantherdragon
doesn't mean he likes or trust xeno
SeeYouInShibuya
So we've abandoned having a society in the name of getting to the moon which I mean fair enough
pantherdragon
the end
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't think any of them trust him
pantherdragon
if society is being held hostage
pantherdragon
they can't rebuild it until the threat's been taken care of
SeeYouInShibuya
Senku seems to go back and forth on liking him and I'm just like STOP
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah cause he'll just wreck it again
SeeYouInShibuya
But I do believe some of that stuff they can't get where they are
pantherdragon
https://media3.giphy.com/media/Ogak8XuKHLs6PYcqlp/200.gif
SeeYouInShibuya
Reality though
SeeYouInShibuya
Even getting society up and running
SeeYouInShibuya
The odds of them doing that in time for Stanley to see appropriate punishment is low
pantherdragon
yeah I mean realistically that has to take decades
SeeYouInShibuya
They could leave him petrified but then they wouldn't be able to be witnesses
pantherdragon
and you're still going to probably run into a Tsukasa-like scenario
pantherdragon
'who gets revived and who doesn't'
SeeYouInShibuya
Because literally almost everything he did was essentially war crimes
pantherdragon
yeah
pantherdragon
well here's another thing too
pantherdragon
which I'm sure Gen and Senku are thinking about
pantherdragon
when the wave hit
SeeYouInShibuya
Forgiving him is a bribe for Xeno - although I'm not sure he needs it but whatever
pantherdragon
think of everyone who just died who wasn't yet embalmed or cremated
pantherdragon
all of them are alive statues in morgues
SeeYouInShibuya
yeah
SeeYouInShibuya
Well maybe
SeeYouInShibuya
Likely underground like the hospital was
pantherdragon
maybe there's a time limit but still, there's going to be some people who are miraculously alive
pantherdragon
not to mention all the people like Mirai
SeeYouInShibuya
I think the time limit is the body not degrading
SeeYouInShibuya
Hence Tsukasa
pantherdragon
they're probably embalmed before the body can degrade
pantherdragon
which also prevents revival
SeeYouInShibuya
Oh I mean like, Hyoga died
pantherdragon
with the whole process of embalming
pantherdragon
yeah
SeeYouInShibuya
But didn't have time to degrade
pantherdragon
/nod
pantherdragon
and like, how severe of an injury can it heal
SeeYouInShibuya
But you can imagine reaching the end of your life, being ready to go and just waking up again
pantherdragon
people who just got like shot in the head
SeeYouInShibuya
That's hell right there XD
pantherdragon
or something
pantherdragon
preeeeetty much
pantherdragon
I swear I read a scifi story like this
SeeYouInShibuya
I think Ukyo was shot in the head. And Taiju was completely blown up, burned to hell
pantherdragon
I mean without the petrification but
SeeYouInShibuya
There doesn't appear to be a limit
SeeYouInShibuya
But who's going to let him test that
pantherdragon
all of the characters are right, this is going to be a dystopia nightmare
SeeYouInShibuya
Also he wouldn't kill people it's unethical
pantherdragon
unless they do something about it
SeeYouInShibuya
Oh yeah sure would be
pantherdragon
XENO WOULD TEST IT
SeeYouInShibuya
LISTEN. HE CAN FALL OFF A CLIFF
SeeYouInShibuya
Anyway XD
pantherdragon
yup
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't think he actually knows how to fix the battery :-D
SeeYouInShibuya
As a bonus
pantherdragon
chuck the whole creepy scientist into the sun
SeeYouInShibuya
He was outside with Ryusui
SeeYouInShibuya
He's at Senku's mercy
pantherdragon
god I hope so
SeeYouInShibuya
Lucky for him, Senku's mercy is a very very very deep well
pantherdragon
Gen doesn't forget, though
pantherdragon
and Tsukasa is just waiting for a chance to murder a bitch
SeeYouInShibuya
Nor should he
SeeYouInShibuya
It's fine, Senku will just petrify him if that happens, nbd
pantherdragon
.... damn it am I going to get a tsukasa muse out of this
SeeYouInShibuya
I will save time and ping ✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
pantherdragon
it's not like I've ever played any other genocidal for the good of humanity extremists with long hair and pretty eyes
SeeYouInShibuya
Don't kill people, Senku will pout at you Tsukasa and you don't want that.
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I've not checked the chapter or the plurk and I feel I can tell what you're mad about
pantherdragon
lmfao
SeeYouInShibuya
Oh I bet you can guess.
SeeYouInShibuya
We talked about this (LOL)
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I mean, we all knew it was going to happen
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
still don't know why it has to happen
SeeYouInShibuya
YEAH BUT I'M STILL MAD ABOUT IT
SeeYouInShibuya
I can begrudgingly follow Senku's thought process here
pantherdragon
Gen: look if we're going to build a rocket, we need more than one rocket scientist
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
like give me a fucking reason why that isn't "Senku is the MC"
SeeYouInShibuya
But I still hate it
pantherdragon
Gen: even if we already have the best one
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
pantherdragon : THERE ARE OTHERS
pantherdragon
IN THE AMAZON?
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
fine some othjer statue/scientist
pantherdragon
I mean trust me I hate xeno too
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
MAYBE???
pantherdragon
pfft
SeeYouInShibuya
Look I'm also mad they're getting away with it
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
DID THEY CHECK???
SeeYouInShibuya
I also get why Gen said that
pantherdragon
MAYBE IN THE TIME SKIP
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY
SeeYouInShibuya
BUT I HATE IT
pantherdragon
... also
pantherdragon
are we just glossing over the fact Suika, sweet suika, has been by herself for four years
SeeYouInShibuya
Yes they are absolutely glossing over that
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I'm going to read it, wait, because there's only so much I can ridiculously argue about without reading it
SeeYouInShibuya
Okay okay :-D
SeeYouInShibuya
(LOL)
pantherdragon
fair enough :-D
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I took a nap and just woke up
SeeYouInShibuya
Woke up in time to get indignant with me
pantherdragon
can we be part of the salty about xeno squad in defiance of the rest of fandom
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't know how you can look at a guy who was like YES I KILL CHILDREN and go yeah he's fine
pantherdragon
I mean, again, I think he's less dangerous to revive than stanley
pantherdragon
Xeno is creepy and clearly unhinged and obsessed with power
SeeYouInShibuya
I did mean Stanley XD
pantherdragon
oh XD
SeeYouInShibuya
Who was actually doing the killing
SeeYouInShibuya
Xeno is...a whole other problem
SeeYouInShibuya
But he's cool with it too
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
... did
SeeYouInShibuya
Killing children is cool now let's get with the times
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
did they really tell XENO about the death reviving???
pantherdragon
that was mostly my thought
SeeYouInShibuya
yes
pantherdragon
like waking him up makes sense because they needed a rocket scientist, fine
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
........ why
pantherdragon
make stanley your hostage
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't know
pantherdragon
why tell him about the revival
SeeYouInShibuya
Seems ill-advised
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I CAN GET RESURRECTING HIM BUT WHY TELL HIM THAT
SeeYouInShibuya
The best I can figure is he thought he needed more leverage for cooperation?
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't know
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
HE'S LIKE 1 BILLION % THE TYPE OF GUY THAT SHOULDN'T KNOW THAT SHIT
pantherdragon
I mean maybe
SeeYouInShibuya
But you know Xeno
SeeYouInShibuya
He totally wants to go up there so he can be like
SeeYouInShibuya
TELL ME HOW TO DO IT
pantherdragon
... then they can leave him on the moon
SeeYouInShibuya
So he can screw them later
SeeYouInShibuya
Listen I'm all for them leaving him on the moon
pantherdragon
if Xeno wants a ride home he has to behave
pantherdragon
xeno will not behave
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
SeeYouInShibuya : "leverage" giving a dictator a way or means or even a hint for fucking eternal lifee isn't something that should be used as that
SeeYouInShibuya
I suspect he's going to keep pestering Senku about this whole ruling the world thing in a bid to get him to twist to what he wants and gain power.
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
it's like "look, help us do this and we will give you access to nuclear weapons"
pantherdragon
I mean it won't work but I agree he'll try it
pantherdragon
hm.
SeeYouInShibuya
It seems incredibly dumb yeah
SeeYouInShibuya
And I don't know what Senku's endgame is with that
SeeYouInShibuya
Like he must have a reason for doing it but it's not readily apparant
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
does Senku think that once all humanity is revived, xeno will have no choice but to play along society rules again as he did before?
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
because that's not going to fly
SeeYouInShibuya
Honestly? I bet he does.
pantherdragon
I mean that can't be what Gen or Tsukasa think
pantherdragon
they're both far too cynical
SeeYouInShibuya
He's not much of a cynic
pantherdragon
Senku is very idealistic for such a realist
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
and they know better how society works and all it seems
SeeYouInShibuya
(LOL) Did you keep reading
SeeYouInShibuya
There's more
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
no
SeeYouInShibuya
This chapter is 'so good'
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
ssorry
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
goes back
SeeYouInShibuya
Please continue
SeeYouInShibuya
/just gonna wait for it
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
"we should keep this between the four of us" <.<
STANLEY'S ACTIONS WERE ATTEMPTED MURDER, HE WAS TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE THE MOMENT HE FIRST APPEARED WTF
where did they get a smoke for Stanley's statue???
are they really going to fucking do the rocket in the Amazon?
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I'M DONE
pantherdragon
there it is
SeeYouInShibuya
Yes they're forgiving Stanley
SeeYouInShibuya
There it is
SeeYouInShibuya
(LOL)
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't know that they can get everything in the Amazon
SeeYouInShibuya
I'm thinking they might have to travel
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
yeah I doubt they can do that
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
and even if they had the materials, they need more people
SeeYouInShibuya
Handwaving Stanley's crimes is like
SeeYouInShibuya
wtf man
pantherdragon
I'm a nerd and looked up bauxite sources (aluminum) they definitely need to go elsewhere
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
Stanley's monkeys are a bad idea to revive too
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah they are definitely lacking in manpower
pantherdragon
manpower ... food ... resources
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
SeeYouInShibuya : I mean, they are handwaving Xeno's who is the fucking leader after all so it makes sense but still... like... you guys are going to have to LIE a lot to "testify" that his acts were legitimate
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
because the moment you say "we arrived and he shoot at us" that throws out any fucking argument for "legitimacy"
✶ȶօʀǟʟʏռɖ✶
I'm pretty sure that even for USA standards the idea that, if someone walks into your garden and you shoot at them to kill them, is not a good received one
SeeYouInShibuya
Yes, they're going to lie
SeeYouInShibuya
They're going to lie their asses off
SeeYouInShibuya
Well Gen is. They know better than to put Senku there he's not a very good liar
SeeYouInShibuya
That or they'll just make everyone be quiet about the whole thing
pantherdragon
okay but you guys
pantherdragon
they could also be lying about lying about stanley later
pantherdragon
it wouldn't be the first time Gen has done that
