Depends on how you define brainwashing. Turning into the Manchurian Candidate because you saw a subliminal message flashed on a TV or recorded backwards in a song? Probably impossible. Being tricked into believing increasingly dumb bullshit due to prolonged peer pressure and/or isolation? Happens all the time.

You can absolutely manipulate a person into believing extreme things through social reinforcement. That's how cults work. Some people are more vulnerable than others to this kind of thing, and NEET checks off a lot of those boxes.

When I can assemble a proper NEETfiche I’ll try to post it via Google or something. I’ll have to stitch it with the CV library, was planning to use an image editor but none of them will open that file..

Update: trying to build a full tree of even the criminal arc up to the second choice results in a PNG file with such an enormous resolution that nothing can open it, and it's really only fit for being very nasty to image software producers and pointing out that they shouldn't call it a "corrupted file" when technically PNG should support resolutions up to 4,294,967,295 x 4,294,967,295, and yet their software barfs on a mere 3500 x 827936.

While mega-images would be hilarious it would probably be better to package it up into pages, based on the layout it was originally published in, and then package it up into a CBZ or CBR comic reader archive that can be viewed as a book by many programs.

Does any CBZ variant support branching though?

It has been interesting re-reading the early strips. I think we saw Enami and Princess on a date early on. I also think Amanuma got Kancho'd by his own daughter.

That was Warbird's first contribution to the goon-made sequel. He cobbled the whole thing together in Blender and exported it as a massive animated GIF in which Zero exploded into a sizable number of triangles.

The whole thing ranks pretty high in terms of successful goon projects, I'd say.

I went back and fixed this post with a better translation:

Indeed, Touru apparently tried to back out of quitting but was forced to go through with it.

Still not sure if "looking down" or "making fun" (or even "underestimating") is the better translation, but I'm going to leave it as it is.

Regarding the huge composite image, there are some webapps out there that can make them into zoomable pages, kind of like Google Maps.

I just tried zoomhub.net with the Super Metroid world map and it seems to work pretty well https://zoomhub.net/ln8l0

Here's a CYOA-style CBZ as suggested above. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VGSkHPfyd7r3qhBbUklWxh0uNcFvUqWa/view?usp=sharing

However, some of the page numbers at the branches seem to be gotten wrong in some CBZ viewers?

About 2 million dollars. 200 million yen. So Oda is only off by half. But for reasons that are far too complicated to really post about, in the original Japanese Oda's declaration "You won a million?!" is a little more vague. He's not really guessing as to the exact amount. That's a consequence of my translation.

In Japanese he's asking 「億単位当選⁉︎」"oku tan-i tousen!?" "[you] won in the amount of hundreds of millions!?"

億, oku means "a hundred million" (remember, we're talking about a hundred million yen, approximately a million dollars), 単位 tan-i means "amount, unit", and 当選 tousen means "to win, be selected". Oda is unsure of the exact amount, so it's kinda like asking "were your winnings in the hundreds of millions?"

But that's an unnatural mouthful of a sentence to be shouting in English, so I truncated it a bit. Sorry.
