A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

The hair accessories help, but yeah, kept going back to check until it was made apparent later on in the chapter.

I can academically understand why Kana did that, but drat, girl didn’t need to go that hard.

This is not just a movie, as Ruby herself points out.

It's a kind of family-forging (or breaking!) ordeal.

Ruby is hilariously wrong about what this movie is for. It is an elaborate revenge scheme, the exact opposite of coming to terms with the past and moving on.

Hamlet's problem was not doing enough revenge. If he'd just gotten down to business, he'd have been fine.

"Yeh've forged a magnificent sword."

"This one's only practice. The real sword I intend to forge will be three times longer."

"Can there really be a sword as monstrous as that in this world?"

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."
I mean, the characters saying these things are in the age range where I'd fully expect them to subscribe to bullshit mysticism about true acting, so I'd take all this with a grain of salt. Oshi no Ko doesn't have Kaguya-sama's narrator to chime in and say, "BTW, they're spouting bullshit," and sometimes I feel like that's to the detriment of individual chapters.

It's not a detriment at all, people have to learn sooner or later that not all characters are reliable or as knowledgeable as the rest of us! It just requires a level of engagement beyond simply taking people's words at face value.

Frill is a character who has not been given anywhere near the level of shading as anyone else in this series but that's no reason to assume she isn't as full of poo poo as everyone else.

Especially considering the literal best actor in the series we've seen is Akane, and she's not a method actor, she's a psycho level researcher.
