They'll probably argue quite a bit and Remember will most likely provoke her a bit;
also Remember will probably try to order her around(She seems like the type of person who likes to be in control).
Of course this relies on Remember not pretending to be nice, I doubt she'll pretend to be nice, as there doesn't to seem to be a reason to;

No.44683
I don't know what to think about this series. The character writing isn't bad but the entire scenario contradicts the first three series. In Selector and in Incited, the white room and selector battles were shown to take place in a realm of the soul or mind, the physical body stayed in the real world. Now the bodies of LRIGs and selectors just disappear without any explanation.
The writing also feels unnecessarily edgy. There was already the suicide in Incited that felt out of place. One of the plot points throughout Selector was that no one was outright evil. Akira, Mayu and Ulith were all shown to derive their behaviour from their experiences they had in life. Satomi and Carnival are evil for the sake of it with no backstory or explanation. Akira's development at the end of Spread and in the drama CD is completely undone as is Kiyoi's to a certain extent as Spread shows her acknowledging Akira.
Even the battles feel poorly done. Nearly every battle is just LRIGs punching and kicking the shit out of each other until they are in visible pain. It's not even well animated or choreographed. Again it feels edgy for no reason. The only battle in Selector that ended that way was when Dark Tama appeared and beat Yuki. The amount of violence in that scene existed to make a point. In Conflated it's done for the sake shock value.
Overall it seems that the current staff don't understand what made the original series exceptional. Selector was dark but this was offset by the scenes of the selectors with their families. Baa-chan being pleased that Ruuko was home safe, or Hitoe sitting in her front room with her mother, telling her how she's happy that she had Ruuko and Yuzuki as friends. It wasn't just the direction and the backgrounds that made Selector what it was, it was also Okada's writing. By showing these family scenes it gave the impression of the Selector system having a wider impact, even if the other people in the lives of the selectors had no idea about the battle system. This was sort of done in Incited as well. In Conflated it's almost completely absent.
The best scenes in Conflated are the more sedate scenes, like Tama helping Ruuko put the washing away, Kiyoi's date with Amika, Hanna being autistic with Kiyoi, or Suzuko talking to Ril. Everything else feels contrived.
TL:DR
I'm not impressed with Conflated. It doesn't deliver on batoru, atmosphere or scenario.
No.44684
>>44677
>Most importantly though, when will Kiyoi and Amika kiss?
Never. If anything they'll just tease that they're "best friends" and nothing more.
Aki-Lovely is fucking dead, Yuki and Iona are MIA and may never comeback, everything Ruuko did in the original Wixoss games has been completely undone, and male selectors are and will forever be a thing.
At this point I'd say the best course of action would be to completely retcon everything past the orginal Wixoss games and make a sequel with the phrase "Let's take everything people liked before and increase it 10 times!" in mind.
But that will never happen.

I agree mostly. I think Incited was fine even with the suicide in it even if it did feel a little out of place but overall I don't think it was bad. I enjoyed the characters in Incited and their interactions.
The main problem I think is that Conflated dosn't seem like it has a plot, it feels almost like they are just making shit up from one episode into the next. Especially with the Akira thing, it seems like they introduced her without really knowing what they wanted to do with her and it feels like both her and Remember were in there just because they wanted a reference. I think that can be clearly seen with Aki and her pen in particular, it seems just to be a reference for the sake of a reference because she used one to stab Ulith in the original series.
I do agree with the evil thing though. Mayu was somewhat understandable and Ulith had much more characterization than Carnival has gotten and was overall much better written even if their motivations are almost the same. Carnival in general seems to just be a Ulith clone without any real reason behind it.
>>44684
They are trying to keep the main series subtexty at best I think. Don't want to scare of the normalfags with gay girls. The most gay the main series ever got was with the movie but only really during the end with Tama x Ruu and Sachi x Rumi.
I'm not sure male selectors are a bad thing as such but it did cut down on the cute girls. Although with Mayu gone it's probably better for them to include males in the selector process depending on how they wanted to spin the story as Mayu was responsible for the targeting of girls in particular.

Ulith key, looks like it might be an interesting one though.
Constant, certainly "Your LRIG gains the following abilities:"
Action with limitation or colorless cost?
Another Constant
Action, most likely "Put this key from the field into the LRIG trash: ". Would be dissapointing though since it means the other actions shouldn't be deck defining as you're expected to switch it in for another key or to get a boost.
Strange to have Nihilism art but black as the colour though, probably won't be Nihilism based but just normal black LRIG stuff mechanically. Not like Ulith actually has a unique or even signiture mechanic she utilises and Keys in general don't manipulate specific SIGNI classes.
Coin 2 cost though so it might be something.
Hanare key when? Also Hanare and Ulith LRIGs with "if you have Ulith / Hanare Key on the field effects when?
Eldora key might be interesting too considering her rather unique mechanics.
Auto, probably with turn limit.
On-Play.
Action, probably another trash since others tend to be given to the LRIG with a constant at the top of the card.
Unless that Auto is deck defining probably also very dissapointing.
Remember key dosn't seem to have a trash action at the end, maybe it's meant to be more permanent.
Constant, "Your LRIG " etc.
Action.
Auto.
Probably something with placing cards at the top or bottom of deck. Might be interesting.

Ulith art is generic and weird looking, something is off at the boob placement or more liklely the shape. Remember a cute though. Remember is flatter than Ulith here which should not really be possible but they're both really flat canonically so that's one thing in favor of Remembers artist.
They should really hire the guy that did the Aiyai key more. Speaking of which, which are the best artists for the Wixoss tcg?

So episode 9 was a thing.
Felt a bit contrived to get Suzu and Ruuko to fight like that, why would either of them trust anything Carnival is saying? Even if it is correct theres no reason for them to do that. Seems like they're rushing to the end now.
At least we got an explanation for what the current battles are about. Still don't know why The White Room is alive in the first place, hope it's a consequence of Mayu and not the cause of Mayu.
No.44958

If the psychic theory is right, The White Room saw potential within Mayu and granted her powers hence creating the LRIGs and once dead she could use them at 100%.

>why would either of them trust anything Carnival is saying?
I think for Suzu it's a combination out of desparation and guilt. And Ruuko simply doesn't know better. Yuzuki kinda baited her into it too. Her naivety is nothing new.
No.44962
>>44961
Yuzuki should've told Ruuko not to trust him. She's been with Carnival and Layla and seen how they acted. Ruuko is naive but she's also portrayed as a good person, to trust someone who clearly doesn't have their best interest at heart doesn't seem like a thing she would do, especially considering her previous experiences in the selector battles. Again this could have been alleviated somewhat with Yuzuki actually providing more information than she did.
With Suzu it's much the same. Considering what she witnessed in the last round of battles she should be nowhere near as eager to randomly battle anyone else. She just does as Carnival says without even discussing any part of it with her friends.
No.44963
>>44962
Suzuko behavior is somewhat justified. Carnival during her dialogue with Suzuko pretty much made the following implication: she is the only one who has a chance to defeat her and not single selector could ever do the same. Hanna failed and Kiyoi already lost once. This means she put pressure to Suzu as being told basically: you want to end all of this right? Then get rid of everyone and I will grant you a chance to defeat me. After being said this Suzuko has nothing but to defeat everyone on her path.
No.44964
>>44955
>Felt a bit contrived to get Suzu and Ruuko to fight like that, why would either of them trust anything Carnival is saying?
Ruuko has the excuse that she doesn't know Carnival and is going off information that she is getting from Yuzuki. Suzuko is fully aware of what Carnival is like, so she shouldn't allow herself to be tricked so easily.

But Carnival was saying the truth the whole time and even Suzuko asked about the reason why she was telling her all the stuff. If anything, Suzuko's pretty much accepted her fate as the final opponent to Carnival.

Technically Doujin can't fix anything but that's slightly beside the point.
It'd still be cute to see some yuri mainly some Sachi x Rumi romance since were not going to get it canonically. At least the short comics that have already been posted (mainly in other threads) are cute.

That aside it really does seem like they are going to make something tragic happen with Tama, although even if they tried I'm not sure conflated actually has the balls to pull it through. Besides The White Room seems to be looking for a selector and not an LRIG as it's successor, so maybe it will be Ruuko and Tama will acutally go free (or in that case staying with her seems more likely)

The writer is at fault for the current condition of Conflated. It's unlikely that they were told to include stuff from Selector as they didn't really do so in Incited and, for all it's faults, Incited still managed to tell a story somewhat well.
The problem with Conflated is that the writer chose to include Selector characters not because they fit to the story but because they wanted to give them some sort of epic conclusion, that's the way it comes of as. You can tell that that's all the writer cares about, the goal has shifted from telling a story to trying to be epic for the sake of one upping Selector.

I agree with this. Incited told a good personal story for Suzuko and Chiinatsu - Conflated just grabbed a bunch of characters from Selector + Peeping Analyze and shit all over them when it had no idea how to handle any of them together with the Incited cast and system.
I've scrubbed Conflated from my own personal head canon at this point. I wonder if they will pretend Conflated didn't happen in later releases.
