The root of evil is not hate, but laziness.

And the ultimate expression of that evil is poor gay romantic options. 
But yeah, Iâd just finished a major scene with Phil, and had the whole horrific date-thing still looming over me, so I wasnât really feeling in the mood.
Iâm thinking of going back through the whole thing once Iâve finished the final chapter, and while it would be mainly to make sure there are no plot holes or inconsistent characters caused by my changing ideas, Iâll possibly be adding in extra things, here and there.

Ha ha! And here I thought Kay was bothersome.
Yes, Kay needs to have a stern wake up call.
Kind of a shame we canât corrupt Kay, always the optimist, always the idealist, always with the âwe are better than themâ, always the bastion of goodness and righteousness, always have to be the ally of justice, why wonât she break under the pressure? Indomitable will? What is she? A shonen manga MC?!
I wonderâŚwhat would happen if her brother and mother were to âsuddenlyâ turned up dead ? Will that be enough to break her?

Shounen manga heroes never break! They just power up!

Isnât the main feature of the darkness route that it subverts most shonun expectations?
Iâm pretty sure I can find some. I know a lot break at some point but fix themselves at the very least.
Ajin demi human! It started as a shounen but then the artist took over and broke everyone.
Was amazed with that show.
After seeing how similar Kei was to my Daemon, I even changed his super name to Ajin as a way to honor the show.
Are youâŚare you up to date with the manga? Because Iâve heard various people being either confused or dissapointed with theâŚcharacter developmentâŚ
And i wouldnât really call Ajin a classical Shounen either, not even following the latest turns in âcharacterizationâ.
But I agree with this:
@ParrotWatcher you gave us this feature now use it to let us descend to darkness and terror if we want so (and with high Darkness I guess you just can assume that)âŚIf Sammy can die Kay can be broken, thatâs only fair (have to keep it fair with MCâs best friends).

[/quote]Barely anyone has definitely changed, and itâs mostly small. Though we got characterization for a lot of them.
It started as an official shounen but then the Artist took over the authorâs job and made everything dark, which is why I joked that they broke. The anime started dark.
If only every villain was as likable as Satou.
I was mostly keeping up with the manga, and only watched the first ep or so and a clip from nine, due to them changing Satouâs 9/11 reenactment to dropping a building on them.
Iâll probably watch it later this week.
What was his old super name?
I always had a problem with games which force me to do things (or encourage in the form of bonus power) cough cough Heroes Rise cough cough consistent personality choices, since my mcâs personalities usually amount to âwhatever they feel will help them the most at the momentâ, which is why I donât go with triple digit darkness as my canon playthrough.

Okay, now Iâm pretty sure we are at different points of the manga. Very sure even. Or we have very different standards about topics like consistent characterizationâŚ
Iâm at ch 50. Everyone to me has either just showed that they werenât complete jerks in the first place or got slightly nicer (with one exception who got a lot nicer), to me. Or they stayed the same.
Interesting, even when I disagree. But I think if we want to continue our talk about it we may should move it to the Anime/Manga Thread or pm, if thatâs okay for you?
I only saw the anime.
I actually preferred the change.
Sure, crashing an airplane into a building was bold but, itâs been done. That fact makes it less impressive.
What hasnât been done? Destroying a building by dropping another building on it, while riding the whole thing down just because you can.
Hey reached end of game and it said to write down darkness=39
B-but thatâs not what happened to my MC! Wait, does that means that my MC is not one of the heroes of this story? I-is he the villain?! Will we finally gets to fight Kay and her foolish ideal?
In all honesty though, there doesnât seems to be that much of a change between a light sided run and a dark one (I always gets a darkness score of 35 to 47, so maybe itâs just not high enough), which is kind of weird (stuff Iâve noticed : What your TOT3M says, what happens to that fire guy, what happens to Sammy and stuff you can do, but no major story altering event), though, the extra bit of dialogue between a fallen MC and Kay during their âdateâ is a nice touch.

Canât speak for sure about your MCs, but my evil!MC certainly isâŚand empathic but high darkness level MC is probably too, even if they themself would disagree (self-awareness is not their strenght).
I donât know, can you really be the villain if what youâre doing is (intentionally or unintentionally) trying to save the world, or at least the city?
