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

[arcosapphire]

Were there previous "Dorothy" or Oz references I forgot about? It felt to me like that just came out of nowhere, but this has been running for so long I may have just forgotten.

I also thought only Yvonne was isekaied into the game world; but here witch-Elsa is also aware of culture from our world?

I was planning to reread this from the start once it ended, but now I have no idea what year that will happen. Can anyone get me back on track here?

Read the translator note in the end card. Apparently that's a pun on Elsa's name and how Dorothy was translated in different translations of Oz into Chinese

Fire Emblem ah plot

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.

I'm saying that those shows could not be inspiration due to their obscurity even though they also use plots similar to steins gate (not necessarily just the world number display) Sorry if i fucked up wording that.


the inspiration was probably just reading about the world line theory. or maybe even reading about SERN in general but im beating a dead horse at this point.

We're steins gate now girls

i only watch yuri so idk what S;G is but i hope my girls get there in the end. one thing i dont wanna see is to much time travel or parallel universe stuff since things can get kinda messy when that happens (so many other good yuri manhua do that and the plot just becomes incomprehencible).

The Steins;Gate 0 VN has a yuri ending

Baby Yvonne had a copy of The Wizard of Oz back in the time travel arc, reading it together was how little orphan Elsa chose the family name Dorothy. It was strongly implied that the book originally came from the Sage Bella.

The country and the royal family have always been named Oz, but I don’t recall when that was revealed. Yvonne has never commented on this, presumably it was the same in original game in her world and she doesn’t think it’s strange.

Thanks, I definitely didn't remember that at all and I have no idea how anyone was supposed to, but I'm glad you did.

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.

that's more to do with it following the world line theory which has mostly been dropped from media as mostly debunked which is why steins gate picked it in the first place the science adventure series loves abandoned theoretical research.
