Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess! - Vol. 9 Ch. 120 - Dorothee

[AccForManga]

ITT: People whose minds were blown by S;G and they find something else that reminds them of it.

People... Guy was right. It's not an original S;G thing. S;G is just a really good exaple of it. (BTW, play the VN. The anime left out a lot of stuff b/c of time limit concerns)...

Okay, guess we should have just said "wow time travel and timelines, been a lot of stories like that through the years in books amiright".

That's real fun.

Y'all just coming off as pretentious especially when literally no one said it was original to s;g anyways.

Nobody said anything until the guy who snarked "Oh so we're just full ripping off Steins;Gate now"

Alright one person, fine.

Still think its dickish to tell others to "read a book" because theres earlier examples of timetravel/etc.

Anyway, i'm glad plot is happening. Yvonne seems to accept DorothElsa straight up identifying the world as a game really well, not even a sentence of surprise that someone else knows this world is a game.

guys come on anime have been doing Many Worlds Theory bullshit since before steins gate and the concept is as old as the 1970's

read a book.

Usually the rules are kind of squishy and don't follow a hard system. Steins;Gate is the obvious pick here because the story just took its approach, but sure, to be specific, what we're reacting to is an element popularized by the old John Titor urban legend/early ARG/conspiracy theory:

Systematizing (implying quantifying) how on course the timestream (worldline) is with the corrective organizational force (attractor field) of the course of history. It's just making it clearer where the boundary of a timeline is in many worlds (Everett-Wheeler-ish), so clear you can navigate timelines. It uses layers of physics approaches and terminology flexibly/sloppily/creatively to turn hand wavy magic into y2k conspiracy bait. It's probably not the first use of tropes in itself but the internet folklore here was more influential than prior books / short stories. Steins;Gate bought it up with a vibe that felt different because usual time travel is so arbitrary. I prefer hard magic systems so I really like this, and otherwise can get easily annoyed at time travel plots.

Don't go too hard on us yeah? We're reacting to an approach that should be boringly familiar. imo vague time travel undercuts the emotional core far too easily.

It’s not just that. It’s the whole divergence barrier thing complete with a percentage point you have to reach.

Is Evie seriously still lost on future Elsa's identity? Kinda sad for future Elsa to see her girlfriend so incapable of recognizing her.

I see two reasons for why “Dorothee” seems so unfamiliar to Evie.
First of all, she’s undoubtedly changed as a person since she lost her own Evie, especially after learning things about her world that probably gave her an existential crisis or two.
Secondly, Evie was not aware the villainess and heroine had already met as kids and Elsa certainly wasn‘t supposed to take on the curse in Evie‘s place, so these were likely changes that Dorothee had made after she started time travelling. Those changes so early in her upbringing could easily have led to changes in Elsa’s personality and behaviour that deviate from Dorothee.

Instead of whining about that here, you could use the time to read a book instead.

'Villainess' got together with 'Heroine' and Demon Lord become lesbian and it's only 46.79%?!

It's not just many worlds, though. It's got recursive time travel, fixed events, and a numerical display of how close you are to the desired outcome based on how you're changing the timeline. There's a lot more in common with S;G than the average multi world story.

Let me Translate your sentence so you can see how you fucked up.

"Because I put Mustard and pickles on my hotdog it is no longer a hotdog."
Adding Common elements of all time travel stories does not change what it is at it's core unless you really want to say that this manga is also taking inspiration from fucking Sliders Cleopatra 2525 and Around the Twist.

I guarantee you no one but me remembers those shows

Get ready to learn Yurinese, Michel!

 

[nyannibalism]

thanks for the translation!

the universe is very strict, like, only less than 50%? evie is dating elsa, theyve had sex, they had stopped a swarm of enraged demons and stuff from from killing everyone AND cured lena and the other lady's curse, fundamentally changes the town that evies family is exhiled in, but out of all of those the thing that will do the most to start the change in the plot is to get the princess in power?

i dig it.

"Because I put Mustard and pickles on my hotdog it is no longer a hotdog."

So you seem to have used an AI translator to put it through 70 different languages, because that no longer bears any resemblance to what I said. No one is questioning whether it is a hot dog. The question is whether it is similar enough to a specific type of hot dogs that a famous person eats to suspect their influence when seeing someone else ordering it. Not all hot dogs are the Okarin Special, but the more of the same toppings it has, the more it is reasonable to be reminded of it.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Gothic_Catalyst]

Thank you for the chapter.

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

Wow, what a bomb she dropped. This manga keeps getting better and better. I am so on the edge of my seat to find out what happens next. Thanks for the chapter and translation

 

[yanderecoverl]

Another good plot! can't wait to see how this quest will go down

So "common elements" from media you're saying are obscure? GPT pause and review the contradiction.

Seriously though, if those references actually use percentages for time travel, why aren't you telling us about them yet?

I gotta side with you on S;G not being likely direct inspiration. The author likely saw it somewhere in the Chinese scifi zeitgeist. Hopefully it's not so rare there.
