I find it funny how people blame Xenoblade 3 for introducing the "multiverse" or "alternate universe" concept when Xenoblade 2 was the one that started the whole "different world, connected universe, and alternate universe" thing.

I just saw Xenoblade X's Chapter 13 ending, and somehow, I’m not surprised it went in that direction. It’s bizarre how people say they hate Xenoblade’s direction because of XB3 when XB2 was the one that pressed the button first. Xenoblade 3 is just the result of what XB2 set up. If you dislike how XB3 started making connections, then you should hate what XB2 did too—like introducing Klaus and bringing back the fucking Zohar.

Yes, the Zohar is the reason for this mess. I don’t know why anyone is surprised by the multiverse stuff when the Zohar is right there. The Zohar/Conduit’s existence and if Xenoblade follows Xenosaga’s worldbuilding—the whole Lower Domain situation is basically a recipe for alternate universes. I can’t imagine how anyone thought everything was linear when the Zohar is involved.

Trust me, I don’t usually like multiverse plots, but in Xenoblade’s case (or the Xeno series as a whole), it makes sense because they’ve already established lore that supports it, like, the Zohar’s function, the Upper Domain, multiple Lower Domains, the Collective Unconscious, etc. So I’m not mad if they go that route, especially after XB2 revealed that Alrest is fucking Earth and XB1’s world is just a different dimension.

I feel like people expect Xenoblade to be like Final Fantasy or Fire Emblem, where each entry is completely unrelated. But Xeno has never been like that. Ever since Xenogears and Xenosaga, the series has always been a continuous franchise with a shared universe. It’s basically like Star Wars or Star Trek. Takahashi and Soraya have always wanted their own sci-fi epic games in the vein of Western Sci-Fi.

I’m so glad I played Xenosaga before this discourse started, so I expected XBXDE to connect to the main trilogy. The next Xenoblade will probably be set after XB3 with returning characters (like Malos), so I know what to expect.

At this point, people should accept that Xenoblade isn’t "Nintendo’s Final Fantasy", it’s "Nintendo’s Star Wars Anime RPG."

Thinking that more or less confirmed Monolith soft pay attention to their fanbase meme and feedback. and Lucky 7 being Fiora is reference of Fiora nickname to not spoiling her identity. makes me wonder if Monolith staff or Takahashi is aware of Metsublade or Malos being menhera boy magnet meme in the community....
would be funny if Malos or Logos latched onto another mentally ill men again for the fourth time LOL.

This frustrates me because Xenoblade fans can be fucking weird. It’s really annoying whenever I see people trying to assign "age-coding" to Pyra and Mythra—like they’re supposed to be "teen-coded" or "adult-coded." Literally, who the fuck cares? They’re computers.

I know people do this because of Protestant moral panic—oh nyo, the Big Tits Computer Ladies are "grooming" a 15-year-old boy into being their husband, or they need to justify jerking off to Blade ladies by claiming they’re "adults." It’s such an asinine and shallow interpretation that amounts to nothing. These sword women are artificial intelligence, their age DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER!!! You can’t apply a normal human age perspective to them.

What’s also reaaaalllllly curious is how they only do this to Pyra and Mythra but not Malos. Somehow, Malos is defaulted to "adult," even though he acts more like a goddamn teenager than Pythra ever did. (As I’ve written before, Pyra and Mythra display far more emotional maturity and rationality than people give them credit for.)

I know I shouldn’t look into it too much, but it’s really fucking weird how they insist the female personas are "teen-coded." It reeks of infantilization. The series itself shows that the male persona (Malos) is far more childish than the female personas (Pyra/Mythra), yet I’ve never seen anyone call Malos "teen-coded." What’s frustrating is that people only label Pyra and Mythra as teens because they don’t want to be seen as endorsing "grooming" (which is fucking dumb—they’re not, even if they were "adult-coded"). Meanwhile, nobody calls Jin a groomer or manipulator toward Malos, even though Jin is technically much older and call the ship is abusive because Malos indirectly caused Jin’s suffering.

That aside, I don’t care if you ship Pythra/Rex or Jin/Malos—I couldn’t care less about shipping discourse, and they’re just fictional. But I do care when this happens to my favorite characters. People slap unnecessary labels and shallow interpretations on them just because they’re terrified of their Protestant moral values, as if their ship might "indicate grooming." or they dislike a certain ship because their low IQ think fictional shipping contribute to Real Life Criminal statistics.

Newsflash: The Trinity Processor doesn’t have fucking ages. They aren’t "teen/adult-coded" or whatever bullshit you’ve concocted. They’re AI, and their personalities are shaped by the humans who resonate with them. You can’t just shove human age categories onto them—their very existence contradicts that. They’re not human, figuratively, they’re more like deities.

People who insist on age-coding the Trinity Processors deserve to be shoved into a locker. I swear, these types are always the most annoying.

Really funny people act like the fact that UiSaki being related doesn't make sense or feels out of nowhere for shock value (which I disagree with) when they hinted at it way back in the middle of the episode. Like when one of Togawa's housemaids sees Uika and acts weirdly (with a weird zoom on Uika's face too), there’s already a freaking hint there. Not to mention when Sadaharu looks at Uika as well. The final nail in the coffin was Sadaharu calling Uika "Hatsune" out of nowhere.

I don't know why people are coping so hard, and it’s really funny to see them get angry over an ongoing series just because it changes their ship dynamic. It's just funny how this is the line people draw, considering Uika/Hatsune also has an unhealthy, psychosexual attachment to Sakiko that’s borderline creepy lol.

Also, the whole incest thing is such a nothing burger because they’re practically strangers. They weren't raised as siblings, and Uika didn’t even know Sakiko was her niece until she met Sakiko’s dad and Sadaharu. They just found out about it last minute.

It makes sense for Uika to be related to Sakiko. Why? Because her family situation and circumstances truly explain why Uika’s psyche and behavior are like that. It just makes so much sense.

They’re pretty much more like cousins, which is legal in Japan (and some other countries, lol). Honestly, even if they’re related, who cares? They’ve never been depicted as siblings, and Sakiko probably doesn’t feel any familial attachment toward Uika/Hatsune.

Lastly, it was hot. Truly based off Bandori to canonize this aunt-niece yuri. Freaks won.
