rionaleonhart | I Haven't Done Anything I Need To Feel Bad About.

More of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy! I've finished the Coming-of-Age: Bittersweet Youth route, and I'm currently on day thirty-five of a route that, uh. Well, a route that involves a lot of use of the word 'pheromones'.

Takumi going 'oh, Eito, I'm so glad we fixed your personality defects by brainwashing you so the two of us can watch fireworks together' is deeply unsettling.

I can't believe the guy who hates us and wants us dead would betray us! Again!! Who could have predicted this???

I hope every route ends with Eito betraying us and Takumi being shocked and appalled. Surely he won't betray us a seventh time.

Tem: You know what you say: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me four times, shame on you! For taking advantage of my trusting nature!

I can't believe Eito was being insincere all the times he said 'love and peace'! (It's pretty funny to think that he kept saying 'love and peace!' as an intentional ploy so we'd trust him.)

I fully expected my 'don't sacrifice Nozomi' choice to lead to a swift bad ending, and I'm cracking up at the result I got instead: Takumi confesses his love, Nozomi blushes furiously, all our friends cheer us on, and meanwhile Eito seethes in the background, going 'DON'T FUCKING IGNORE ME WHEN I'M TRYING TO KILL YOU.'

And then we all held hands and defeated our evil boyfriend with the power of friendship. Beautiful.

I'm interested in the 'sacrifice Nozomi' choice, but I don't want to replay the fights leading up to it right now; I'll come back to that later. On to the route where we reveal Nozomi's secret at the first opportunity!

This route involves a 'who will you sacrifice?' choice. I'd probably have chosen Kyoshika, because I like the other two more and I'm really not a fan of her English voice acting, but

futuresoon has said I might enjoy the 'sacrifice Takemaru' route, so I'll go for that. Sorry, Takemaru; you're one of my favourites!

Yugamu: You should take these pills that make your pheromones irresistible to everyone! For the sake of, uh, team unity.
Takumi: Well, if it's for team unity!
Takumi: oh my God why is everyone so into me all of a sudden

Yeah, okay, I can see why I've been recommended this route. I usually end up shipping the protagonist with everyone else in Danganronpa-esque games, and this game has truly embraced that in the stupidest way possible.

Oh, God, I forgot we were fighting a war! I was so distracted by the potential for stupid ships, and then the invader alarm went off and took me completely by surprise.

After Tsubasa enters Takumi's bedroom, clasps his hand and spends a while telling him how into him she is:

Takumi: (blushing furiously) Being so overwhelmed with affection with so little distance between us had me questioning my morals...
Tem: Takumi, get a hold of yourself. (pause) I mean, not like that.

I shrieked with laughter and dropped my phone.

After Takumi spends the night cuddling with Kurara:

Tem: I was not expecting the pheromone route to be this long. I thought it would just be a joke route.
Riona: They've put so much effort in.
Tem: They've put so much effort into the route where we fuck all our friends.
Riona: As they should. The most important route in any game about fighting a war.

Kurara: Don't you dare just sit in your rooms and jack off!
Takumi: Who would even do that?

What are you talking about, Takumi? You're all a bunch of teenage perverts. One member of the team canonically fucks her own sword on a regular basis.

There's some very striking dialogue in this game. I made this note during a scene that included the lines 'Stop trying to look all cool, you dickless virgin!' and 'I'll shove my hand so far up her ass her back teeth will clatter!'

If you brainwash the guy who hates you and wants you dead, when he snaps out of it he betrays you? Shocking!

I can't believe Eito was being insincere all the times he said 'love and peace'! (It's pretty funny to think that he kept saying 'love and peace!' as an intentional ploy so we'd trust him.)

Vash the Stampede would disapprove of your actions, Eito!

That sounds amazing!

What are you talking about, Takumi? You're all a bunch of teenage perverts. One member of the team canonically fucks her own sword on a regular basis.

...the hilt? Please tell me it's the hilt.

I can't remember whether her exact swordfucking technique has been specified, but I definitely assumed she was using the hilt. She also bathes with the sword and uses it to scrub her back, which sounds unwise from both a personal safety and a weapon maintenance standpoint.

Okay so I'm afraid to ask but not afraid enough to not ask - is the method of canonical sword-fucking specified?

I don't think it has been yet, but I'll keep you updated!

Which... which end of a sword are we talking about here, in the context of fucking it on a regular basis?

I love that every commenter so far has asked the same thing. ('Why do people keep asking?' Tem asks. 'Everyone knows, when you're fucking a sword, you use the hilt.')

Not knowing the fandom, I wouldn't rule out either option! You never know...

I wondered too, tbh! Partly cos I don't know the game and I was like 'maybe she's making incredibly intense usage of healing powers???'

Fool me four times, shame on you! For taking advantage of my trusting nature!

Ahahaha!

Honestly brainwashing him does provide him some justification for betraying you. And is it even betrayal at that point??? Like, did you trust him not to turn on you???

Oh, God, I forgot we were fighting a war! I was so distracted by the potential for stupid ships, and then the invader alarm went off and took me completely by surprise.

Never change.

Like, did you trust him not to turn on you???

Apparently! It's incredible how much capacity Takumi has to be surprised when Mr 'I Hate All Humans And Want Them Dead' sabotages the fight for humanity's survival. Again.

Wait.

I've finished the hundred days of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy and hit the credits!

I thought you were finished, as per 'hit[ting] the credits'. How much of this game is there?

There is so much of this game. At the end of the entirely linear first hundred days, the protagonist goes back in time to redo things, the credits roll (with a bunch of names blacked out to avoid spoiling later events), and you unlock a whole branching narrative structure with a bunch of distinct routes.

Okay, that sounds fascinating. How is the character work? I assume it's robust, if the game has held your interest. (I've not read anything under the cuts of your entries.)

I would describe the character work as 'shallow but fun'. Each character has one or two central traits; there's not much in the way of depth! But the character traits in question tend to be absolutely insane, so the characters never feel bland, and the dialogue is lively.

Insane how? Can you provide an example? It will be so funny if I play this before 13 Sentinels.

Character traits include 'clearly in love with his twin sister', 'constantly trying to convince everyone else that they should all start killing each other', 'really horny for torture' and 'constantly abrasive, but only while wearing a giant tomato on her head'.

Of the two, I'd recommend 13 Sentinels more strongly, but that would be pretty funny.

This game is rapidly rising to the top of my 'I really want to play this' list.

I'd be very interested to see other people's reactions to this nonsense!

If anything would persuade me to play video games, it would be your posts ...
"Tem: Takumi, get a hold of yourself. (pause) I mean, not like that."
"Tem: They've put so much effort into the route where we fuck all our friends.
Riona: As they should. The most important route in any game about fighting a war."
"One member of the team canonically fucks her own sword on a regular basis."
BWAHAHAHA!

I'm glad I can make a strong (if odd) argument for the medium!
