Yeah, a lot of names were changed when localising Chrono Trigger. Sometimes just different random references (Soy, Mayo and Vinegar to Ozzy, Slash and Flea) sometimes ones adding way more implied dignity and mythology to the characters (Bash, Mash and Gash to Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspar)

Ooh, I like this premise.

A can beat B but always loses to C, so we're going to summon J from another world to defeat C but J is being terrorized by F so we need to summon...

Lots of chances for distinct characters to arrive and assert themselves. I can't wait for the drunken master section of the manga.

Uhm, outside of the ending I didn't think that was particularly good. Curious to see where it goes, but I don't think people would have paid a lot of attention if the ONE name wasn't attached to it.

What was the punchline? :confused:

As for the manga, sort of agree with that poster a few posts above mainly cause textbook DnD castle fantasy settings are extremely not my poo poo, but I'll reserve judgement until things flesh out a bit more.

The setup was so-so and it could have been done a lot better, but the whole punchline was pretty hype, and I don't doubt that ONE will be able to pull off something interesting with it.

The question I have is whether this is a one and done for the summoning or if we are going to see a lot more worlds and people/genres get added to the mix eventually. It would be a little dull if it's just future people kill the demons and magic medieval people kill the aliens or whatever.

Could see it going either way but I imagine there'll be some kind of further twist to this to really mix things up. It's ONE after all.

It's about saving the world across the multiverse.

They need help with demons, they need help with aliens, another group will need a solution to their sun going out, someone else will have a zombie apocalypse, and so and so forth.

Not much of a fan of the new thing so far, cool action and a neat plot twist/joke, but none of the characters interested me at all and it feels so far like just a generic action thing.
