Araya, what do you seek?
「アラヤ、何を求める」
------True wisdom.「――――真の叡智を」
Araya, where do you seek it?「アラヤ、何処に求める」
Only within myself.「――――ただ、己が内にのみ」
Araya, what is your favorite color?「アラヤ、好きな色は？」
Blue. No, ora-- Auuuuuuuugh!「青、いや、オレンジイイイイイアアアっ！」
Manga and racism? More like manga and FUCKING AWESOME
Wait, now that I think about it, are there actually any black guys on any of the BUGS teams? Fuck. That is pretty racist I guess.
You select heroine X, Ryougi goes swoosh, head goes flop.
But then it turns out heroine x was hiding out in Avalon so she's okay.
You can tell what happened with Ciel, right.
Not that it makes any sense. Did Nasu just forget he made Ciel's World Paradox not apply when Instant Death shows up or is this the point where you start thinking too hard?
And Saber still lost somehow anyway? So weird.

Wasn't it all smoke and mirrors anyway? I seem to recall something about her using the back of her sword and then some whining from the peanut gallery about how that shouldn't possibly make a difference with the MEoDP before it got brushed off so she could go meet Mikiya.

Oh, right. I can't believe I forgot about half-headed background-kun. He will be missed.There was.
Spoiler:
Nah, she actually did kill everybody.
But being an idol, she has the power of making scandals go away so that means she can undo the whole part about everyone dying by saying she used the back of her blade.
So that's what it was, okay.
That manga looks pretty intense. Should I read it?
I think it may be too intense for you.
It's like Fist of the North Star, if Kenshiro got butchered to death at the end if every chapter. Or maybe a hyper-realistic depiction of life inside a roguelike.
So it's like Gantz?
So it's terrible?
Speaking of Ryougi, I only watched the movies, so... when she was going to kill someone, her eyes glowed in a flashy way. Does that mean she can choose when to see the lines, or just some "shit just got serious!" animation?
Also, I think I remember someone saying Ryougi doesn't see points, just lines... is this true? if so, how are hers different from tohno's?
Animation.
She seems to see confluences of lines and has lines that will act exactly like Tohno's points so draw whatever distinctions you want or something idk.Also, I think I remember someone saying Ryougi doesn't see points, just lines... is this true? if so, how are hers different from tohno's?
Oh, thanks.
?She seems to see confluences of lines and has lines that will act exactly like Tohno's points so draw whatever distinctions you want or something idk.
Basically Tohno's lines are described as the breaking points of an object.
Tohno's points AND Ryougi's lines are described as the death of the object.
Ryougi doesn't see points, or at least is never noted to, but some meeting points in the anime kind of may look like points, so it's a mystery.

Not just the anime. There's some part of the novel where she sees the lines coming together in a tight spiral (probably Paradox Spiral) which might look like a dot.
Got it.
- - - Updated - - -But, upon this man, those lines were too faint. Strongly, harder than she had ever done before, Shiki glares at the man. Her brain may have overheated, because she observed the opponent till a portion of her consciousness went white, only then could she see it. ... In the centre of his body, she can see a hole in the middle of his chest. Going round and round like some child's scribbling the line is drawing a circle at one point. That might explain why it looks like a dot."
Aaaand, let's back up a bit on that, because the original Japanese just says 'hole' instead of dot. Gr.
- - - Updated - - -
And then Overlooking view says she may see dots anyway. Dammit Nasu.
Can someone pull the Japanese for this section of Overlooking View?:
The woman wonders if the contact was too weak, and decides to use suggestion again.
But this time, stronger. Not a weak impression like "You can fly" but she orders firmly: "You have to fly!"
But before that, Shiki looks at the woman.
One on each of her legs, one on her back, and one point on her left chest. The cutting section named death can be certainly seen. The one on her chest would be a good one to aim for. That would be an instant kill. Whether this woman is an illusion or something else, as long as it's alive, even if it were a god, I'll kill it.
Alternate translation, which may or may not be more accurate:
And yet...
Shiki looked up at her before she could do it. Two arms, two legs, one torso. One small spot slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Shiki could clearly see the cross section before her eyes: a blueprint for death.
The chest, above all, would be the best place to aim for. That would mean instant death. illusion or no, Shiki was determined to prove she could be killed... even if this girl was a god.
Nevermind, I'll do my own work.
両足に二つ、背中に一つ。中心よりやや左よりの胸部に一点。―――死という名の切断面が確かに 視える。
狙うのならとりわけ胸のあたりがいい。アレならば即死だ。この女が幻像であろうと何であろう と、生きてい る相手ならばたとえ神でも殺してみせる。
