personally idk why people are upset koishi has a knife like i feel like it’s reasonable that she’d be strapped with one for fun

tbh im not the #1 koishi expert here but if the argument against it is because “kkhta/yandere koishi isn’t canon”
Ok, and?

That's a silly reason for people to upset about especially since her Last Word in the fighting games Urban Legend in Limbo and Antinomy of Common Flowers she uses a knife

outstanding evidence, look i've got nothing to prove for "someone" who thinks "ok and" is unironically funny

Let me break down my argument in a different manner, because it seems it’s being misinterpreted from my main point.

My argument is that Koishi wielding a knife is perfectly fine for her character because it seems natural and in-character that she could have one on her at any point in time.

I present the counterargument to my idea as the notion that Koishi wouldn’t wield one because it would depict her as something akin to a yandere or like her depiction in KKHTA—in other words, a fanon interpretation. As an aside, this notion is entirely my own—I may not have fully grasped the reasons why other people dislike her interpretation with a knife, but from what I’ve seen so far this is the current notion I’m getting.

My response to this is that her having a knife doesn’t have to depict her as a yandere or whatever “fanon” Koishi is. When I said “Ok, and?” my intent was to state that those notions were unimportant and that canon Koish can have a knife just because she could, and would. I do see how this can be seen as a rude dismissal of the counterargument so I hope this explanation is sufficient enough.

And when I talk about needing evidence for a counterclaim, I meant interacting with and countering my ideas and arguments with your own, not nitpicking on the surface-level words I say.

not nitpicking on the surface-level words I say.

Those surface-level words are the only things you have said and nobody here aside from you has even mentioned KKHTA where did you pull that out of your ass? Maybe bring up something worthwhile like other people have such as Koishi having to think about something rather than "Koishi has a knife because its fun" which is just so shallow.

Bruh.

Idk who the mangaka was writing but that isn't koishi

maybe the mangaka was writing flandre. people seems to conflate the two as analogs for some reason, which apparently means that koishi needs to be equally as unhinged as the scarlet destroyer.

Yeah... the writer for this story is actually ZUN so... guess you'll just have to get used to this version of Koishi, because as of now it's the canon one.

If the rest of this series becomes the SA crew saving the day that would be a-ok with me.

Seriously though, nobody would say "Koishi having a knife isn't canon" if they have the slightest idea of what they talk about. We know she does. Gelato just invented fake argument scenarios to get mad at.
