I am. I have no idea who this girl is. I just know she looks like Mercurius is therefore immensely sexy. Plus, having a manly girl would work in Dies Irae since most of our boys aren't interested in girly girls.

My point was that (correct me if I'm wrong) otoge players are more likely to self-insert into the protagonist and enjoy being the center of everyone's attention rather than go on the offensive and assert dominance like a male player would.

It's pretty worthless against any of the LDO members. They can see it so they can just smash it with their ahnenerbe. Plus the design has some non-literal value. It reinforces the idea that Ren is not a warrior. He's an executioner. He doesn't need to try hard and be skillful - don't forget that trying hard and practicing is for losers - because he's Mercurius' son and he's going to stroll in there and lop their heads off.

>>20975876
>I remember seeing some JOPs say something about how methuselah has existed over multiple resets
That was really my own reasoning in an attempt to explain why Methuselah had such an insane amount of mystery. The original Japanese script uses 那由他 or in English 10^60, a decillion, to describe the years worth of mystery he has accumulated. The same number of loops Mercuries is described as doing. Also, Methuselah being born as a result of Mercuries' law and being a pillar of his hadou just seemed imply that Methuselah was around from the very first loop or a few odd loops after really, give or take

>>20954817
I think what I liked was that Dies Irae wasn’t just self-aware & embracing its own clichés – but it used the concept of cliché itself to define the characters rather than keep it as a gimmick. Most of the LDO had some gripe with normal human life that led them to reject it and seek a higher order, which is why, I feel, it is supremely relevant that they’re all Nazis (unlike other works where Nazis are used just for the aesthetic) – because the Nazis were some of the most chuuni myth-makers out there and they invoked things like Destiny and heroic archetypes to maintain their allure.

(A quote from that wiki article: “A painter was to create an ideal picture, for eternity. The images of men, and still more of women, were heavily stereotyped, with physical perfection required for the nude paintings”)

A cliché, at its very core, is all about repetition, and a rejection of change. To play a cliché is to walk on the path of a pre-determined role and have everything decided by the creator – be a part of Destiny versus the chaotic human world. That’s the importance of Mercurius’ opera – because it creates the order that allows the characters to assume their role and be greater than what they really are. If not for the opera – Wilhelm and Schreiber would be mere criminal lunatics, Rusalka would be a witch who was prosecuted all her life, Trifa would be a meek priest, Reinhard would be a normal military commander who could never manifest his full potential etc... etc... They get to play out a beautiful tragic fate in the midst of battle thanks to Mercurius. Of course, some of them, like Kei, realize how horrible it is to be thrown into beautiful tragic battle forever, and they rebel against it in the end.

On the other side, you have – ironically – the most unheroic protagonist in the world who doesn’t care about his heroism and wishes to have a normal and banal life repeat forever. Not only is such an unheroic person given the role of protagonist and receives immense power, but this also makes him the perfect executioner for all the Chuuni Nazi LDO members who wants to reject their own life – because he is their direct anti-thesis. This leads to a sort of contradiction whereby Ren has to become a God in order to reaffirm the small human pleasures he has. His struggle is a cliched hero’s journey, but he has to get saved time and time again by deus ex machinas and sudden power-ups – further cementing how ironic is role is. Unlike FSN, the slice of life in Dies Irae is used to show why he cares so much about daily life, in contrast to the later bulk of the VN is relentless war, magic, politics, and suffering for all participants.

So, you have a hero that loves boredom and wants to have SoL repeat forever, placed against Mercurius – a creator-god that finds his creations boring and wants to seek the unknown. Tropes are used to flesh out character, rather than characters merely acting out tropes. All this is done in service to the themes of the work, in analysis of why we enjoy things like fiction, tragedy, chuuni, escapism, fantasy, clichés etc... and the daily life that we must return to – while being itself a very entertaining fantasy that does not merely subvert the genre, but also affirms its best & coolest aspects. When I look back at some of the parts, it isn’t just ideas thrown out there but they actually come together into something much more coherent – though seemingly obscure (I guess having experience with reading Nietzsche & being acquainted to his ideas helps, because it feels like Mercurius talks in the same style at times. Nietzsche was also a writer who, on the surface, threw out a lot of ideas, some of them contradictory, but there was a consistency behind them on further analysis).

You could say that it is self-aware and ironic, and yet is also, somehow, simultaneously sincere and earnest in creating the greatest fantasy/opera out there.

The person Shirou has the most in common with is actually Reinhard. Both are exceptionally talented yet bored with what their lives have become, not helping is that they both share foreknowledge of the world around them. However a violent encounter with a blue haired individual (Ren and Mercurius) leads them into desiring what they want the most.

After Mercurius reached a new level and became Karl the Cuck, he finally managed to defeat Satanel once and for all and save the multiverse. However, soon after he did so, a stranger appears on the battlefield. It is his own gay love, Reinhard, whose power vastly overshadows Satanel. Even though Mercurius was personally trained by the Throne to replace him, a fact that Satanel resented, Reinhard ordered Spinne to conceptually choke the Throne itself & Naraka while he was away. Reinhard is a prodigy from Nazi Germany who quickly surpassed the Throne's expectations and even Satanel during his training. Luckily, Reinhard loves all & everything, however he is upset that Karl deprived him of a good fight. He therefore challenges the population of Germany to another conflict: the Battle of Berlin. In it we will see Reinhard's henchmen, Machina, appear, as well as many other LDO returning with new forms. Machina will reveal a new form he received after becoming an Einherjar and being trained by Reinhard: Machina Negro/Negredo. With this he will try to one-punch Mercurius. Karl realized that although he has made many friends & gay fuccbois, there are no French titties. However, eventually he will discover that there is actually untapped cucking potential in Lotus Reichhart. He will eventually use Lotus' soul to cuck himself.

This. The core theme of consensual rape is sorely missed. Mercurius seeks death because he realized that he already knows everything. He cannot experience the brand new excitement and joy of being the inferior Nazi discovering the superior Allies and Soviets have come to genetically enrich their inferior selves with their semen, Reinhard wants to destroy everything because this is a post-Soviet Union world and a world without the ability to be banged by Soviets isn’t a world worth living in. He’s bored and wants an enemy who he can fight at his best against, likely thinking of the struggles his countrymen have had trying to fit all those genetically superior non-Nazi penises into themselves.

KKK straight up tells you they met all the time over the span of their different lives, but never ended up living happily ever after. their relationship just never worked out.

the epilogue shows them with kei again, so theres a chance they'll finally manage. except they won't because pantheon prologue introduced a new threat only for the game to never release.

I don't think that even Wilhelm does more than pay a bit of lip service to the racist aspect of Nazism, and even that is because it suits Wilhelm's crude temperament. Everyone in the LDO is united by their desire to transcend mundane reality and by their fascination with Reinhard. Giving a shit about politics and especially about some stupid ideology from the 40s makes absolutely no sense for these guys. Wilhelm in particular is too unsophisticated to understand nazism and far too selfish to give a shit about its value to Germany. If anything I'd say that Eleonore is the most ideologically committed, but I'd attribute that to her upbringing and temperament. But by the time we actually see her in the main story she stopped caring about anything other than Reinhard's lance.

I say it's her very Reinhard obsession who leads to this. She's trying her best to get her Reinhard-senpai to notice her and appealing to an ideology he followed is one of her ways. Too bad he couldn't care less for his old ideology.
