Don't worry about asking spoiler-y questions, I'll just navigate to non-spoiler-y answers. Dorohedoro looks good — I'll add it to my watch list. I'm currently watching Eizouken, Darwin's Game & the later half of Boku No Hero Academia's fourth season but I want to check out ID:INVADED too... there's lot of good shows this season. ^^;
Viewing post in Release XXXIII // Chapters 81 & 82 comments
Eizouken already is like... Dang! 2020 had to start out strong in at least one way! Like, it's something I've wanted in an anime for ages - anyway, I have no idea if the anime adaptation of Dorohedoro is good, but it's a very interesting story; sometimes super violent and just plain weird, mind! But in a way that's incredibly compelling. And I kind of wish there were at least a few more hours in the day... ;_;
But since you mentioned, here's my one main question; all prior competitions mentioned so far as to only have had one winner, right? Detective or Criminal.
The secondary question kind of related to that is one that might be outside of the scope of the game so far, so...
Outside of the limited realm of crime-afficianadoes, the competitions aren't widespread in the public knowledge in-world, right? They're available, people are aware of them, but they'd be more famous for a weird event or turn of circumstance than the victories, losses, or even the prize money themselves.
Sort of 'oh, it's those publicity contests that one rich security scion puts together'. If even that?
Feel free to re-direct or answer vaguely. I may even be barking up the wrong tree as it were, but I'm gonna try to think my hardest as we near the end!
edited to note hadn't even heard of darwin's game looks absolutely my jam. hopefully there's more breaks in work during march! :o thanks for the recs!
Yes that is correct — here is a handy chart:
*Winner of contest in bold. These aren't spoilers, all of this information is in the game :)| CANADA | RUSSIA | UK | FRANCE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larika Downs (Haney) - Detective | Kane - Detective | Lewis - Detective | ? - Detective |
| Joane - Criminal | Indigo Ibrahimova - Criminal | King - Criminal | Jaime - Criminal |
In terms of public awareness, there is very little outside of detective circles. It's a lot like a Pokémon card tournament or something — a niche thing that nobody's really paying attention to. The contest is not televised or broadcast. In the Third Stage, there was a lot of public interest in the Invisible Man murders, and several news articles about the contest, but the story died down once the killer was caught.
Thank you so much - I thought that might be the case, but... I try to consider myself an unreliable reader, and assume I'm either missing something, or potentially stumbling towards answers through sheer luck. Either way, I don't like the idea of accidentally spoiling stuff for other readers, even if it's entirely by mistake. If Mellie is as Watson to 795, and Nell is to Mellie as Mellie is to 795, I'm Nell divided by eight.
Also Indigo's middle name/patronymic is somehow even cooler than I'd thought possible. I want to play through a few times before settling on my prediction, but I'll try to post it before the lull.
