[C]: The Money Of Soul And Possibility Control

Well, this certainly sounds interesting and exciting (business turning to fighting?) . Yoga, from the blog, sounds like an interesting protagonist. I guess I need to add it to the long list of anime I'll have to watch but where can I find it?

How much does legality matter to you?

Haha, legality.

Really, not that much.

Then any given anime torrent site.

I would certainly not suggest you google the phrase Tokyo Toshokan or anything...

And I certainly wouldn't search for it even if you did so I certainly wouldn't have a reason to sayThank you

Legality is and always has been another word for "not fun".

If you do want to be legal and also happen to live in the U.S., there's the Funimation stream. It's not a simulcast, though, so they're always a week behind.

Hey, Zettai Ryouki. Mashu's personality makes her grade A, i guess.

You heard the man, make it happen people!

...Wow. Well, we definitely know now that when they say your future, they mean it quite literally; how horrible must it be to have your kids Ret-Gone'd out of existence? And we got a cool battle scene, some Character Development, and the plot moved forward; overall the pacing has been quite good so far. On a random note, I really like the shifts in lighting during Yoga's visit to his teacher's place.

Wait, What epiosde you talking about? Whose kids got Ret Gone'd?

^The latest one, episode 4, subs are out now. Details are under the spoiler tags, but you should REALLY watch the ep first. One of Yoga's teachers is also an Entre, he and Yoga have a duel and the teacher loses, resulting in his two living and one unborn child being erased from existence. We find out here that the size of the change to reality/the loser's future is directly proportional to how much money they lose: the bigger the loss, the more drastic and painful the change.

Here is a link to ep 4.

Looks like "future" means whatever the money you earn allows you to do that you couldn't do before. I guess the owner/financier of that donuts shop went bankrupt.

That is just messed. So in a nutshell, you're living on borrowed time if you're an Entre.

Jesus, shit just got real.

In other news, is this 1-cour or 2-cour?

1-cour, sad but true.

Who else thinks that fact Msyu is now partially "owned" by mikuni will come back to bite yoga later?

Oh yah. Beeg tiem.

Oh, further anaylsis:

So, Mikuni claims to be trying to minimize the effect on reality, right? The deal he fought in proves this, at least superficially.

Why, though? I don't think anyone who's seen this show thinks Mikuni's a humanitarian kinda guy.

Furthermore, he's showing an astronomically high interest in Yoga. I mean, a guy who can lose THAT much money and keep cool? A guy with three assets shown so far (How does one acquire multiple assets, anyway?)

My WMG? Mikuni is Yoga, either an alternate dimension Yoga or Future!Yoga. He's trying to show Current!Yoga that one should try to minimize the Reality Warping powers of the Financial district, becuase if Yoga doesn't, something will happen to Yoga's reality that will break him/the financial district. Evidence for this: Mikuni and Yoga look similar (Could be Oonly Six Faces, though). More Evidence: Q looks very similar to Msyu.

My bet on this change? Something happens to Hanabi.

It's a shame the 'Mukuni = Yugo's dad' theory didn't pan out.

But as for now, I think Mukuni just thinks our protagonist has potential, and wants him under his control.

I think I just figured out how Mikuni has so many Assets. It would stand to reason that since an Asset's stock can be sold, one person could, in theory, buy up all the stocks. If that were to occur, wouldn't the buyer gain control of the Asset?

Now, who around here has a lot of disposable income?

Oh shit, so combine that with the fact that Msyu is partially owned by Mikuni...

Uh huh.

Also, more Fridge Brilliance. Anyone ever hear of an old urban legend about "magic black credit cards?"

Not so much Fridge Brilliance, considering that we already knew how to gain extra assets

The black credit card thing is more deep than first appearances. remember, all asset cards are apparently black, right?

But the photographer explicitly says in the mikuni/old man duel, "two 'black cards' fighting, eh? amazing!"

EDIT: KSPAM, I find it amusing that, apparently, Sato and Masakaki are now having a conversation, going by our profile pics.
