@banjomarx—
obviously you dont want to do anything other than just try and push your argument in face of conventional storytelling, common sense, and literally everyone else on the planet.... so ima let you do that...
Except, course, you then try to make a counter-argument after all, because the whole business of claiming that I'm just trying to push my argument is a device for you to dismiss it when the weakness of your counter-argument is noted.
if you ever feel like actually looking at it logically you'll realize that the spirit knows that the thing he needs to know isnt something that he can be told, for example it could be something like "your friends are EVIL and BAD GUYS" and thats not something you can expect people to believe.
Except that
absolutely nothing that might fit that description holds.
Let's take your example of unrecognized enemies. The Great Spirits are in alliance with the chibis, so if they or the chibis are his enemies they wouldn't be doing anything avoidable that could provoke him to recognize them as enemies. It is only his love interest who would be particularly resistant to recognizing that one or more of the women around her were evil, and Zero's figuring as much out wouldn't somehow be more helpful that his being told. The love interest is plainly not going to be evil; that wrecks the romantic comedy. And then there's …
nobody else with whom he has much of any association.
You're just winging it, and doing so badly, because you hadn't thought about the
obvious question.
Also the spirit isnt really at war i dont think, not in the way that you are thinking. for a spirit, this kind of thing is a temporary issue, a short term problem.
You don't know what sort of conflict I imagine. I expressed a
principle, referring to generals though no generals have appeared in the story, and to soldiers though the significant protagonists and antagonists so far have not been literal soldiers. The principle holds for things that are not wars. However, the chibis are threatened with something rather dire, and the SLA is attempting to forceably overthrow the existing political order; this conflict is essentially either a civil war or an invasion.
As you get older you start to realize that things will largely take care of themselves with minor guidance here and there in this kind of thing.
You don't
know what kind of thing this conflict is. When you find-out, you're either going to be silent or give the equivalent of a shrug.
Anyway i know you're going to ping me with some childish-semi insulting response in a few min;
You introduced insult into the discussion.
dont bother. I'm not gonna bother reading it since you apparently dont care about what anyone else has to say tbh
If that were all that were to it, then it wouldn't have been any point in your posting your reply. In any case, I don't argue with people like you in the hope of getting them to admit error or even in the hope of changing their minds; that would be like administering medicine to the dead. I'm really writing to whomever else is reading.
