Megatokyo

... Well, shit.

...Well they must of got away if the horde disappear.

I took it to mean the horde fulfilled its objective, though.

I wonder how Piro's going to take this. It's pretty clear from his reactions to Miho's shenanigans that he was convinced that all her stuff about treating relationships like games and being torn apart by a horde of fans if anyone ever saw her in public was basically just her screwing with him (after all, she's done it before). This is some pretty good evidence that she isn't lying, at least about that. Should be entertaining to watch his reaction.

It's Japan, hentai and Godzilla is only slightly more known about the place than earthquakes. Easy to rationalize away.

Huh. I just noticed that Largo doesn't use Erika's name very often.

Again, nice fucking going, Erika.

*sigh*

That's not good...

Aaaaaand now I'm truly confused.

Why'd they abandon Miho? And why would they go after Kimiko now?

Pretty sure Sonoda's talking about Miho there (she thinks they're still in love with each other, or at least Miho's still in love with Piro, ref). Is that accurate? I have no idea.

... Damn it, I did it again!?

To be fair, Piro's about that confused right now too.

Remember that Yuki can sense other people's emotions. She's referenced this before, telling Miho that Piro is still in love with her.

Note that this does not preclude Piro also being in love with Kimiko. Nor does it mean that Piro wants a romantic relationship with Miho.

Old Flame is a trope for a reason.

Yuki however is a teenager, and still thinks that love is all you need.

I have honestly been completely at sea for well over a year. The story stopped making sense when it started concentrating on Miho.

I'm not entirely sure if you're implying she can sense emotions in a "supernatural powers" sense, but if so I don't think that's the case...I think she was just judging off what she'd seen.

WAIT WHAT

... Did she INTENTIONALLY INVOKE Only Six Faces in-universe!?

But Yuki does have the supernatural ability to sense emotions. She and Miho obliquely talk about it in reference to them being monsters and "feeding" off of emotions, and how Ping simulates emotions.

It's heavily implied that it's part of the Magical Girl powerset, or at least Yuki's variant as Yuki's mother has the same power and uses it to identify Erika's feeling for Largo, as well as Kobayashi's feeling for Yuki.

Yuki also uses this ability when identifying that people at the Cave "love" Miho, while Miho tries to explain to her that this "love" isn't really for her but for people's (false) image of her.

It's suggested that Yuki can't use this ability to sense people's feeling directed at her, hence why she's surprised Kobayashi has feelings for her.

I thought this was all pretty obvious and generally accepted. At least I seem to recall comments about this implied ability in the Megatokyo forums. Although there was some argument as to if this only applied to the emotion of love, or if it applied to all types of emotions.

Damn it, EVERYONE.

SHOTS FIRED.

I was wondering when Piro's unawareness of the weirdness around him would meet Largo's skewed awareness.

No going back from here.

That's actually a myth. When your nose is bleeding, you want to keep your head down, not back, to avoid suffocating on your own blood. At least according to Ken Jennings.

The problem isn't his nose bleeding. It's his nose being broken.

How does that change anything?
