^I just checked artist other works and damn, you are probably right.

^Why? You don't want to have your insides rearranged by Shuten?

You will get hit in the face if you call Mordred a girl, and you will get kicked harder in the face if you call her a boy.
But in-universe Mordred is a girl, both her version have a "Female" as a trait. Not just Femine Looking.
I don't remember if she call herself a man once in-story. She just behaves like she think "real man" and a Knight would. She hates being called a woman since she feel that her Mother was weak because she was a woman. Internal misogyny?
Mordred never had male body (like for example Caenis did, but Caenis case is even more complicated).

It's like earlier with Jeht, just instead of change in dialogue, is change in expression. And I lean that this is intended animation change not "bug". I like Yuri stuff, but let's not go overboard, even if some people go negatively feral when you tell them Jeht is gay.

Lumie didn't win this time.

Amiya is like how old? 14? or something? And she is only 11 cm (142) higher than Durin (131).
BTW. Hoshiguma is 16 cm higher (184) than Ch'en (168).
Doctor because of artworks being drawn by different artist is between ~170 and ~195.

If I remember Miyu is in love with Illya (she even say that she would hate it if Master would take Illya), Illiya's feelings for different characters are hazy (she have moments with Chloe and Miyu, but she also loves Shirou). Chloe is love freak (her skill in FGO is Kissing Freak), she will take any gender to replenish mana (canonical almost most-efficent way to transfer it - guess what is the best one), but she prefers girls, especially Illya. There were also something between Miyu and her version of Shirou, but it looked more pure brother-sister bond than attraction.

BTW. Did that egg come out of Kiara? It's pretty sizeable..

@Giftnova
According to one of Traveler dialogues, they are akin to Gods. And Abyssal twin was awake for 500 years and they also not changed one bit. They are surely ancient.

You can also see Yuri's hand being wet, but I'm not sure what is pink thing near the book. Bookmark?

^^^It it's washing machine just taller one with tilted door and drum. There are few models like that, mostly used in commercial washing machine, but there smaller ones for homes.

I mean, it also looks like she hold a Claymore, that was used between 15th and 17th century with one hand. It was around 4ft long and weight over 5-6 pounds. Not a perfect siege weapon, since it was way better to have something that stab for that.

Revenue-wise they went from 24 Bil ¥ in 2023 to 32 Bil ¥ in 2024. So yeah overall they are still growing. I think Q42024 had like 50% Y/Y growth.

And yeah, I know the yacht guy.

^ I checked financial analysis and in FY2023 (I think they have fiscal years between July 2022 and June 2023) and EN branch were making 25% of overall revenue so You are right they were making more than I thought.
Interesting thing to know is that Niji JP is making insane numbers, they are making more than whole Hololive combined. While EN side dropped by almost 50%, Y/Y JP increased by like 20%. it was growing every quarter, but there is a drop in last quarter so they could have problems.
Even more interesting is that Niji as a whole have 68% female audience, at least in FY2024.

If I remember it went something like that:
- Selen wanted to make a cover of a song so she requested Niji to get permission,
- Niji took MONTHS to get them even if they could get them way, way faster (there is a rumor that Selen was for some reason hated by Niji Management),
- Selen meanwhile recorded a song and commisioned/made visuals,
- She relesed cover before ensuring she got permissions and told her fans to spread it in the Internet,
- She was told to delete that and got scolded by mangement,
- Niji decided to terminate her contract.
- Selen tried to kill herself,
- All information about harrasment from Niji Management, some Niji EN talents and overall toxic atmosphere in Niji came out and it's reputation plummetred (interesting enough for people who follow stocks - Anycolor (Niji) stocks and Cover Corp. (Hololive) stocks fell down pretty much the same. Their trajectories are going more or less the same since December 2023 even if Niji events are taken really badly and Holo is getting even more popular. It's weird)
- Instead trying to control PR by telling people that they will do something to fight bullying and toxic atmosphere in company like you ofter hear from other companies in which something bad comes to light they double down and tried to shift all blame to Selen.
- Niji reputation fell down even further and didn't really recovered since, which affect their talents, even these who could have nothing with bullying or perpetuating toxicity (and "just leaving" in not that easy like some people seems to think, it's not easy to build from scratch again if it's your only source of income and your working visa bears on it. There is a reason why these who left were either Niji most popular or people who had deals with other company earlier).

There are informations that overall atmosphere in Niji is really toxic on both EN and JP side (mostly stems from Niji idea that their talents should "compete" like idols not work together like Holo or VShojo does).
She and few other former Niji talents were also talking about bullying Selen was getting from other Niji EN talents (I'm not gonna tell who, there were rumors, but NOTHING was confirmed, not by Selen or other talents. I don't really give a damn if someone is "sure" it was this or that person, Selen herself told her fans not to harras Niji lives and try to "investigate" this, because she wants to start anew).

Both Niji treatment of her, bullying and termination caused her to break and try to kill herself (if i remember it wasn't her first attempt, making it even worse, not remember if her earlier one was before of after she joined Niji).

I'm not saying Niji isn't at fault here or that Selen and Niji Management were equally guilty at this, this is obvious that shit that Niji done to Selen was crazy, but I'm trying to clean a lot of missinformation that was going around after whole situation. I still watch some Niji talents i did for last 2-3 years and I wish they could have standing to be able to leave and go indie, but i also know how hard it could be for someone who brand was build after they joined (which gives boost to popularity, well, Niji "did" gave boost).

BTW. Niji as a whole don't really give a fuck about EN side (or at least they didn't until the whole situation happen) since their revenue model is greatly based on merch not Ads/Superchats/Subs/Donations and they got vast majority of their revenue from JP side where merch sells much better than in EN spheres.

Wonder if their stock prices are even that effected but what happened or market valued went down when people could go back outside after COVID, since Holo stock is not doing too great either.

Damn that a long one.

^^Nice theory, but doubtful. There would be no sense why she become "Sustainer" unless Heavenly Principles and Cocoon of Finality is the same.
We don't really know where Kiana took Himeko that one time. It's probably something like a Reality Bubble since it fell after the fight. so she wasn't even fighting in Sea of Quanta by then, left aside jumping between Imaginary Tree branches.

Unknown God was described as "Sustainer of the Heavenly Principles" not as Heavenly Principles themselves.

She is also expy not the same persona as Kiana. Hell story-wise Kiana as "HI3 main character Kiana" shouldn't even exist outside HI3 since she was modified clone/hybrid in that game. Genshin and HI3 (and Star Rail) universes are connected to each other but characters are just expies(with 2 exemptions).

^^Reading comments on Xitter, it is what it's looks like.

@PineconeJuice translation from Chinese or Japanese is hard as hell, because lots of words have many, many different meaning, it's way more complicated than English or Spanish.

It doesn't help that English version is translated from Japanese, further deviating from original script. Or at least that was the case with Honkai 3rd.

Jeebus I still remember shitstorm that happen when people were arguing if Jeht is a lesbian or different dialogue is just "wokelizers' doing their thing.

^ The difference is if you get paid to do this ;p

Wait, i recognize this artstyle. Most of this artist other artworks are futa aren't they.

@FluffyCow Didn't author just said that Marcille isn't lesbian? Or thet they don't care?

Stelle said she likes spooning after all.

*Not really, she isn't top, but usually rank A not S. It's just that she is standard banner character and Ellen is both S tier and limited character.

If i remember correctly she is still alive, she found a way to de-age herself. She is controlling the puppet from who-knows-where.
