Chapter 210 - On the 10th Four Pillar War 'Screen No.68' Comment Section
"Okay, I have absolutely no idea which screen to watch anymore."
"This is your 12-window samurai, reporting that my brain has officially exceeded its capacity."
"There's no way to keep up with all the rankers starting fights at the same time."
"The smart choice is to pick one and think of the rest as something to look forward to later."
"But watching multiple streams in real-time gives you that special live feeling…"
"I know, right?"
"Mood."
"Irori-kun and Genkotsu-san are as invincible as ever, it's making me laugh."
"Hinayo-oneesama vs. Rinne-chan is a feast for the eyes, gotta save this match forever."
"Meanwhile, the look on one of their faces lol"
"Well, trying to tank Hinayo-sama's full assault by yourself is a hopeless task, so…"
"You guys need to stop escaping reality in the comment section and watch the screen."
"Nah… I kinda…"
"The situation is so bad I just wanna escape to another screen's comment section."
"I told you, I can't even see what's happening."
"This is getting ridiculous."
"Tomorrow is gonna be flooded with slow-motion replay videos for sure."
"And they'll get like a hundred million views like it's nothing, I already know."
"But seriously… how is this guy making strategic plays at that speed???"
"Is it possible he has a long-duration thought acceleration skill? For real?"
"If that's the case, and his crown isn't out right now, that would mean it's a normal skill."
"That's just going too far, isn't it?"
"Maybe the drawback is that his health keeps dropping to critical even when he's not hit?"
"The theorycrafters already concluded the self-damage stuff is related to his physical acceleration. Even if we assume HP loss is the cost, it's way too light of a restriction for a thought acceleration that lasts several minutes."
"Besides, isn't this guy like, two months into Arcadia? I refuse to believe he's overturning the common knowledge that thought acceleration skills take years to acquire."
"TWO MONTHS????????????"
"HUH???????????"
"WHAAAAAAAAT?????????????????"
"Where did you get that info?"
"Wait, is that not common knowledge…? As for where, it's everywhere. If you search 'Arcadia Haru' right now, a ton of articles will pop up."
"He's trending at number one, lol."
"Not just number one, he's dominating the top spots with different keywords."
"'Acrobat vs. Tiger☆Lucky' trending is infinitely funny."
"The fact that only Tiger-san is listed by his player name means he's being treated as a total meme. Tiger lol."
"Tiger lol?"
"It's a pun on his name."
"The fight is on such a high level I can't even find the words to discuss it."
"I can give my elementary school level thoughts, though. Awesome."
"Fast."
"Insane."
"Cool."
"Disgusting (compliment)."
"So gross (in ecstasy)."
"Staring at the screen with a look of ecstasy is definitely gross."
"He put on a cool face (we can't see it) and said stuff like "Let's go all out," but where's his crown? Isn't it missing?"
"Now that you mention it…"
"Oh, is he sandbagging?"
"Judging from the fight with Tiger-san, it's probably triggered by self-damage, and with a nasty condition like dropping his health to nearly 10%. Not using it means he's being cautious, which in a way means he's going all out, or at least being serious."
"That cracked crown is sick, I love it."
"I know, right?"
"It's my favorite after Mi-na and Ri-na's."
"The Twin Wings' crown is in a league of its own, number one forever…"
"So does this mean he's doing this without any buffs? What? He's keeping up with Maru-kun's Roan Chronos without buffs???"
"He's completely inhuman at this point…"
"Ah."
"Oh."
"Ohooo!!?"
"First hit landed…!?"
"He took a crazy amount of damage from a graze!?"
"So his defense really is paper-thin!!"
"I have a lot to say, but for him to rampage on the front lines from the very start and not take a single hit for nearly two hours…"
"T H I N G S A R E G E T T I N G E X C I T I N G"
"Is this where he finally stops…?"
"Even if he goes down, he's already created a legend."
"He's definitely carved his name into Arcadia's history. A magnificent performance."
"Maru II is strong, after all."
"Yeah, but for Maru-kun, this is basically a mutual kill…"
"But if he takes down this supernova, he's a hero, for real. Regardless of who wins or loses later, that's a huge accomplishment."
"…………He's pretty tough, huh?"
"…He's, resilient?"
"No, not just resilient…"
"Um, he was already fast so I can't tell for sure, but… his speed is increasing, right?"
"It sure is…"
"Forget his movement speed, isn't his weapon switching speed insane???"
"He's changing what he's holding two or three times a second."
"What's going on in his head???"
"I think I just experienced being speechless for the first time in my life."
"i figured it out, this guy has multiple brains"
"I'm pushing the android theory."
"Maybe he's an AI born into the world of Arcadia."
"When I type 'Haru' into the search bar, 'cheat' is the first suggestion. It's super disrespectful, but I totally get it."
"…………I can only see his mouth, but"
"Yeah, um… he's smiling."
"He definitely is…"
"You can practically see a super-excited grin through his hood."
"Istians, man…"
"Just let him have his fun… all of it…………"
"Let's just empty our minds and watch."
"For real. This is something to analyze later…"
I wonder if pre-emptively showing the audience's reaction is a clever way to build hype? I don't know, but it sure is fun for me.
