Manga/Anime: Tengoku Daimakyou, Heavenly Delusion (English title)
Literal translation: Heaven’s Great Demonic Realm
I feel like a fact like this is supposed to be pointed out by a fan theorist whereas an author doing it just means it should have been explained better in-universe.
As the author says, it's a detail you don't need to notice. If you spot it, great, it adds a little depth to the scene, if you don't, you're not missing anything that will change your perception of the outcome of the scene.
A lot of media, especially visual media like this, rewards more detailed examination.
As opposed to the netflix approach of "tell the audience what's up 50 times because they aren't really paying attention and that's the audience we want to pander to".
Personally I have a lot more love for media that respects its audience enough to not spoon feed everything and I especially love seeing things you'd only catch if you know the context well but isn't zoomed in on to make sure everyone catches it, but just there to either catch or not. It's like the cinematic equivalent of walking away from an explosion without looking at it.
A lot of times, in a lot of design(art, architecture, instruments, etc.) you don’t actually need to have the reasoning shoved in your face for the depth to be added to the scene. Depth of design can still be felt by the onlooker/user without knowing the rational.
The author saying it themselves sounds absolutely dickish to be honest, like "heyy check out this smart detail I added that probably none of you noticed!"
It's very vain.
Use it as a what?
"A series of details you don't need to notice, starting from volume 12 of Heavenly Delusion. In the scene where Kiruko confronts Saion, she doesn't trust him, so she's not sitting on a cushion. To prevent her feet from getting caught when she jumps back, to use as a shield in a pinch, or to throw it at. She has the cushion in her left hand, checks her gun, and her belt is high so she can grab her belongings quickly. That's the kind of guy she is (?)."
translated to english by my phone so uhh idk.
Strange that yours changed the pronouns. In the original, there are no pronouns (or other gender markers) at all actually, so I'm guessing the translation software is guessing based on the character's name.
This is especially interesting because (Tengoku Daimakyou spoiler) : >!this character is kind of a boy and also kind of a girl so you could use one set of pronouns or another based on how far into the story you are. !<
Probably a weapon, projectile, or shield would be my best guess
@grok is this true?
But how do you use something as a show more?
Wait, you're "The Author"? I thought you died, man!
That profile pic is the icing on the cake
