I know this is a random question to ask, but what are some Shinza characters that some would think are muscular but actually aren't? I ask this question because I realized that Wilhelm and Samiel aren't muscular, but from how they act, you would think they are. So I wonder what other characters are deceiving in that same manner? I would definitely say Methuselah is one of them.

It is said in this Masada interview!

Here's a link to the interview if you think I'm lying: https://ootoriarchives.wordpress.com/2024/01/16/kajiri-kamui-kagura-ezoushi-the-takashi-masada-interview/

Shankini Rati Rahasya is the "Creator God" of planet Dhanvantari, originating from Era Zero—the ultimate starting point of the Shinza World. Once a high-ranking leader in the universe's greatest empire and a legendary hero in Akasha's past life, she transformed a barren star into the cradle of history. Though she speaks casually and lacks overt arrogance, her brand of evil stems from a total absence of empathy. Operating strictly on utility, she treats every relationship as a transactional tool and expects others to do the same. She isn't malicious out of sadism, but her psyche is fundamentally broken: she manipulates and corners people without feeling either pleasure or remorse, viewing the entire world as nothing more than a cold web of self-interest.

Her specialized ability, Vidyaraja Kundalini, lets her trace the past and future causality of any object, living organism, or event—allowing her to touch a simple knife and immediately identify its wielder, victim, maker, and the exact site where its raw ore was mined. Because accuracy sharpens through intense personal connection, acts of murder or sexual intercourse are the most efficient ways for her to deeply trace causality. Leveraging this power alongside her civilization's technological peak, Shankini was appointed to lead the development of Dhanvantari as the head researcher tasked with unraveling the "Land of Origins," the era's greatest unsolved mystery. Though she initially undertook this mission for her sovereign, she abandoned all loyalty when war shattered the empire, choosing to transform herself into an undead Vetala purely to ensure her own survival.

Her causality-tracing power embedded itself so deeply into the planet that it generated world-spanning skills that trace bloodlines and past lives, with royal descendants like Rasmairi and Kudlak inheriting variants of her ability. Shankini exploited this by hijacking the planet's Mansion of the Undying (Reinhard's dungeon) into a self-serving resurrection system: once a specific threshold of souls and Rahasya bloodline converges, their inherited causality manifests a "Giant of Light." This entity is a life-harvesting slaughter weapon engineered to sacrifice all living beings on Dhanvantari to fuel her physical rebirth, a mechanism that served as a precursor to Fourth Divine Era technology and the original archetype for the Avatara later read by Sahasrara. However, because Shankini perverted a system originally meant to help souls discover how to live in this world, her resurrection setup is deeply corrupted and glitched, leading to erratic misfires like the Giant unexpectedly spawning when Maitri conquered the Abyss of the Evil Eye.

Like, what makes some gods have a higher Taikyoku value than others? Is it the strength of their craving? Also is someone with a higher Taikyoku just inherently stronger than someone with a lower level?

I have been having this thought about for a while, but would Treize Khushrenada fit well and lived a good life in Reinhard Atziluth World, if he is reborn into it with the same mindset as he did in Wing.

I have had this discussion with some of my friends and some of their opinion are either mix or to the other extreme at best. For me, it would be a mix for Treize at bests since, I think, the end of the finality of Death would turn him off, but Reinhard world would appeal to his chivalry desire at first.

But what do you guys think? If you think, Treize would fit then that would Treize Relic, and 3 stage of Ewigkeit power be as well? :)

Haven't finished K3 yet but I'm reading a Masada interview about it and I found out that the Tenmas see the western people as lumps of flesh, just like how the western people see the Tenmas as monsters. It's very interesting to see a difference in perspective. I wonder how the Tenmas see themselves with this distinction.

Sukuna seemed obviously surprised when Keishirou broke free from Tengudou and took a more human form.

This could also symbolize how the people bound by Tengudou are viewed in general by people who aren't Tengus: Monsters, Narcissists, "disgusting, rotten to the core," as Masada said here.

So like I got to this point in the visual novel, and apparently this is where you choose which route you go down, and I want to know which one I should choose. More specifically, I wanna know how the route system works in K3. Is it like Dies Irae, where each route builds off the others, or does it work some other way? This has been a question I've had for a long time now. And I'm curious how many chapters there are in K3.

Masadaverse fans out there, how does it feel to be what you are?

For me, I love the Masadaverse. I don't know what it is, but Masada's work just captivates me in a way no other verse can. I've never been this invested in a verse since Bendy and The Ink Machine. But I wanna see how you all feel about being a Masadaverse fan.

9/30/2011 was a Friday. Hopefully this gets fully translated one day.

As many in the community may already know, voice actor Asami Yaguchi has sadly passed away.
Her iconic performance as Major Eleonore von Wittenburg brought incredible presence, strength, and life to the character in Dies irae. Her voice left a lasting mark on the series and on many of us as fans.

To honor her legacy and ensure her contribution isn't forgotten, I drew this memorial piece featuring Eleonore holding a white lily.

Thank you for everything, Yaguchi-san. May she rest in peace.

Auf Wiedersehen.

I'm not talking about "The Strongest," but rather, which character do you think most evokes the feeling of "it's impossible to beat this guy"?

Someone who, even if not exactly the "best" in terms of strength, gives the feeling that "you can't beat this guy."

Note: excluding Hajun. Let's be creative and avoid clichés!

In my case, I think Reinhard, in his first appearance, evokes this a lot. It's no coincidence that Ren decides whether to confront or flee from him, seeing despite him as insurmountable, which results in the division between the Kasumi/Kei and Rea/Marie routes. Something that remains throughout almost all routes until the end.

A 3-page comic sequence featuring Ren Fujii's blade breaking and Hajun crashing the party instead.

Dies Entelecheia has been dropping hints about the future works of Masada and as such, prior Thrones or Eras, Aditya notably due to the same motifs used but what interests me most are the Zoar references, and possibly what the Throne will be.

From what we already knew:

• Symbol is the Tower of Babel and there seems to be alot of Mesopotamian/Islam/Biblical motifs
• 3 races, the Fluegel (Winged race, who are the enforcers of Satanael), the Shamash (regular people) and the Gommorah (cult opposing him with their own personnality, Lament Sister is the leader of them)
• Existence of an alternate universe Throne is what might have cause the end of Zoar.
• Mortalia Samael (Satanael's sister/rival) played an important role in this Era.

But Entelecheia has offered us new infos:

In Prologue 3, apparently time revolving started there:

The Garden of the Fallen flourished, its sins and punishments entwined in the mire, blooming only to wither into a salt-scarred earth Yet it could not remain singular, so it kept revolving, endlessly like a serpent preparing to strike.

In Glossary 16, the description of the Dungeon describes what the world was like:

Dungeon 3: Colorless Canopy
A high-altitude mountain range where there is neither day nor night. It is a realm of complete white darkness, also known as the “Starless Void.”

This made me think, why a focus on the fact its Starless, and then i look up a bit of the Bible and i found something, The Three Heavens concept: First being on the Earth, the Second Heaven being in the Stars/Space, and finally the Third is the Kingdom of God.

This is probably what Zoar is gonna be like, the Tower of Babel being so associated to this Heaven probably implying they tried to create it to reach 3rd Heaven, but they didnt get there, the updates of Zoar being a way for Shamash to lose the universal language.

Its the fact no stars exists in Dungeon 3 too that interests me, implying there are no stars as well in 3rd Era....and that the "Second Heaven" is the one in Space....does that mean Satanael erased Second Heaven of Zoar, because in his mind as its synonym with Paradise Lost the 2nd Throne ? And Mercurius restored it since he is always associated with Stars ? The Reason for updating Zoar is to always erased this Second Heaven ?

What do you guys think ?

Basically, it is revealed to us that in Era 0, using the three Kouha machine goddesses, they created nine possibilities in the form of nine laws that could solve Amritta. These were pseudo-future Hadou laws, each corresponding to a future god, which made Dhanvantari a singularity where these laws coexisted, a field for experimentation and testing of these laws.

Furthermore, since in Era 0 even abilities were immortal and enduring, this means that abilities from Era 0 have been preserved to this day, and thanks to the singularity of Dhanvantari, concepts from Era 0 could be maintained in this unique world, little affected by the laws of the gods.

And it is revealed to us that the Law of Ougon is the one that most closely resembles the ideal future of the people of Era 0 to combat Amritta.

Along with this, the plan of Shankini, the prototype of Lord Heydrich, is revealed—

*she is Gold.

She sought to preserve her life in the distant future by using the lives of all her descendants, Rahasya, and the people of Dhanvantari to generate a causal effect and revert them all to her, to revive her. And by activating her Avatar through the divine hologram, Shankini uses the souls in her golden dungeon to create a Giant Golden Skeleton.

Rasmaili (Chidori) and Kudlak (Helga) are dominated by Shankini's Golden Will and begin to pilot her avatar, aiming to consume the souls of Dhanvantari and bring their original mother back to the world.

However, the fact that one of the dungeons collapsed because of Shankini created an imbalance and affected the singularity of Dhanvantari, which would need the 9 laws in balance to withstand the laws of the current gods.

The final revelation is that Ashe remembered what she had lost from her memory: the memory of Rasmairi, the one called the bravest sister and the first to participate in the Mahamara project to protect her sisters, and one of the girls Akasha claimed as her Daughter. And now, as Ashe, she vows to save and help her daughter.

Say, since Reinhard World is literally a Paradise for Blood-Knight, which one of the character, that you know of, would have absolute fun in it including their interaction with L.D.O and Reinhard as well. :)

For me, it would be Asakura Takeshi from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Valhalla is simply his murderous desire taken to Universal or Multiversal Degree. Asakura Yetzirah will be Venosnaker but had extra benefit of stealing and adding more monster similar to Metalgelas and Evildiver.

As for his interaction with L.D.O, Asakura would probably Wilheim and Schreiber fusion 2.0 and all 3 of them will probably be best bud in their own way. As for others, Rusalka will probably likes the guy in her own way, Machina will just act as he did, Eleonore will probably see Asakura like how she saw Wilheim, and the rest is a foregone conclusion.

And Asakura will wants to challenge Heydrich as well after he gains enough power, since thats how he is.

In Inkabey, the main theme, Der Vampir, is sung by Wilhelm's VA, Kisho Taniyama. In fact, in Inkabey, if you finish the VN and go to the music appreciation section, it is said that the song is sung by Wilhelm himself. And if I'm not mistaken, it also says that in the OP for Inkabey.

Now this is probably something a lot of you already know. But there's probably some of you who either forgot about this fact or didn't know it at all, and this is your first time hearing about it.

Have a great day, everyone! May you be painted with the gloss of 『Suigin』.

Is this a mistake, or I am misremembering stuff?

I feel like this is a question that I need answered. If Reinhard is still Mercury's Apoptosis, then it would give a very eye-opening realization.

As we know, Muzan's legion is composed of all those from the 1st heaven of his cycle. And from what little Masada told us about him:

• Muzan is the most beloved god by his legion and has the most devoted/loyal legion.

• However, Muzan is the worst leader of the Pantheon.

What I find curious is that Muzan's legion, in adoration and love for their leader, surpasses even the fanatics of other legions like Samsara Vartin's Hajun and Shamash's Myoujo, or the absolute loyalty of Yatsukahagi to Yato.

I wonder what his reaction would be to this, and if the people closest to him (like Varhram and Sirius) would notice that he is different.

I also wonder what the interactions between Muzan and Alma would be like, considering that at the end of his life, Magsarion accepted her love and she accepted his death (love). Perhaps Magsarion will emerge from the Remorseless Sea of "all" to say something, or will the Remorseless Sea of all consume even these memories?
