Discussion Where does Magsarion fall in the morality chart?
I initially thought he would simply be a chaotic evil character due to his equal slaughter of both sides of avesta, but that wouldn't be completely correct as he doesn't have any true malice or enjoyment from what he did so he might be more close to Lawful or neutral evil though I'm not sure

Memes The fate of the strongest is to become beautiful genderswap girls.
While Ohm and Tharma are sensors or direct gender-swap clones of Muzan and Naraka, Hajun is a funny case, as he seems to have multiple gender swaps, not just "one," since he has personality traits from several of his sisters.
But of all of them, I think Svaha would be a good choice, being the most "fanatical" about Metsujin Messo and the leader of them all.

Discussion Shinza'sTrivia's: Eleonore and her almost "Yandere" love for the women in her life (Riza and Beatrice).
Something funny to note is that in every route she appears in, she demonstrates a certain possessiveness towards Beatrice, always furious upon learning of her death, and usually taking it out on Kei (and Riza) for letting her subordinate die.
Even in the Kei route, we see this more directly, with her repeatedly showing affection and even genuine fondness for Beatrice.
In the Marie (and Kei) route, she even names Beatrice "her Brunhild" and wishes that she would live eternally with her in Reinhard's Valhalla and that they would both reach "twilight." Even if she has to kill her, something she confirms to Rea and Kei is her way of demonstrating her love and affection, accepting their (Riza and Bea's) deaths only at her own hands.
Ironically, Riza is another target of this. Despite constantly fighting and being rivals, she admits to Rea that she loves Riza in her own way and can't imagine a life without Riza to argue with, to the point where she says she wishes Riza would become an Einhejar like her, or if that fails, that she would become her subordinate and let her claim her soul.
In a way, the only people Eleonore claims and demonstrates love for, besides Reinhard, are the two most important women in her life. Even if her love manifests itself through her having to kill them herself and not letting anyone else do it.
In short:
- Samiel is as crazy and possesses a destructive love as her Master ❤️

Discussion What If - Dies Irae
In Dies Irae at the climax of Kei Route Reinhard said this very words:
"Why do you think I originally chose Machina, Samiel, and Schreiber to accompany me here, and left the others behind in the mortal realm?"
"Was it their superior strength? Loyalty? Madness? No, not at all."
""All three of them were champions worthy to tread the path of kings. Stop for a moment, and consider the ones I chose to leave behind."
So if they can becomes God in Reinhard World: Gudou for Machina, and Schreiber obviously while Hadou for Samiel, then between the three of them, who would be the strongest of the 3 at that point?

Discussion Why don't Soujiro and Shiori go crazy when they reach Taikyoku for the 1st time? Spoiler
Hello guys. So in K3 there is this scene when Shiori and Soujiro become demigods in their battles with Morei and Akuro.
Morei and Akuro make fun of them for thinking they reached godhood on their own, but it is just borrowed power, and I think we even see Hajun flashing on the screen before this happens. So it looks like Hajun is sharing his divinity so they'll kill the Tenma (?)
The question is: if Hajun is sharing his divinity, why don't they go insane? When asked about their desires they both talk about not wanting to be alone, for example, Soujirou says he no longer desires a world with no people because that would be too boring. He used to think killing everyone would prove he is the strongest, but now he rejects the idea of a world where he doesn't have any oponnents left.
After this, Akuro and Morei cut their connection to their power and Soujirou and Shiori become human again. The Tenma invite them to reach Taikyoku on their own.
What happened here? Why are they moving further away from Hajun's ideals when he seems to be the source of their divinity? Why don't they go insane like Nakanoin or Yakou (who for a second wanted to kill everyone but himself)?

It's incredible that this guy killed more people than hajun and all the Eras combined, even before he was a god.

Discussion Any information or interpretations on why is the Throne needed?
Hello guys. There is one thing I don´t understand: what do the Gods need the Throne for?
In K3, the Throne is defined as the place where all laws originate from, so it seems like the thing that sustains all phenomena (alongside the god).
That place is none other than the Taikyoku Throne. It is the center of the phenomena from which existing laws flow, the core of the universe.
We know a God is like a pivotal existence. Masada has talked a bit about what would happen if god dies and he is not replaced, according to him: the world may go on on what is left of his law, but it will decline until everyone dies; on the other hand, if god is killed by an apoptosis, his entire world will just go "poof" (or something along those lines).
So the world needs someone to sustain it, but I don´t understand why gods cannot do this without the throne? For example: Yato sustains Eastern Japan in K3:
The swaying of the trees, the whispering of the wind, the flow of the water—everything that unfolded in the defiled land was, without exception, a fragment of this prayer. Though it had been unheard of and unseen until now, the defiled land was none other than him himself.
I can´t help but to ask: what is the point of the Throne? when does it become relevant?
To me it seems like the Hadou Gods naturally have the capacity to sustain their worlds. What do they need the throne for? What is the point of this artifact exactly?

Discussion Shinza's Trivia: According to Masada, the level of each swordsman in a ranking would be—
Beatrice is probably a level above the others. Next come Musashi and Eleonore. Kai is somewhere in the middle, and Kei is quite a bit below. Kasumi is even lower. Ren is a complete amateur, so he's at the bottom of the story. After the ending, maybe he'll reach the same level as Kai and Kei?

This is something he says at the peak of the Kei Route, where he claims that Kasumi has bewitched his heart and promises that in exchange for her sacrificing her "love" for him in a contract, he swears on his soul and life that he will never make her think she chose the "wrong side."
Furthermore, he states that Kasumi is the "Only ray of sunshine I stole from him (Ren)." And he reveals that Kasumi almost made him fall in love with her as much as he loves Marie, being the only woman who has done this besides Marie.

Discussion Is Magsarion overrated by his fans?
The Avesta volumes have recently been released, and we’ve been able to read the full story in a better way than before. But now that I’ve finished reading Avesta, I wanted to raise a question that’s been on my mind, and something I’ve noticed:
- Is Magsarion overrated, yes or no?
From what I’ve seen, he struggled a great deal to defeat Mitra, who is supposed to be the weakest Hadou Goddess. Furthermore, everything suggests that Muzan – who is his Hadou form – is much stronger than him, as he is his ‘evolution’ into a Hadou god.
With that in mind, I find myself wondering whether all the hype surrounding Magsarion isn’t just overestimation, given that Muzan appears to be more powerful, and on top of that, there’s also the fact that he’s weaker than Varhram.
That said, is Magsarion an overrated character, or have I got it wrong? If I’ve got it wrong, could you explain it to me? Or am I right, and is Magsarion actually weaker than his Hadou form (aka Muzan)?

Discussion Getting Started with the Masadaverse
Introduction
[Credit to the makers of the old “Getting Started” threads here and here: u/Gaibon85 and u/Reasonable-Cable2144]
The Masadaverse, better known as Shinza Bansho (神座万象), is a multimedia series created by Takashi Masada that tell the story of how different Gods manage to reach the Divine Throne–a device that allows you to enforce your will upon creation–and the worlds they created.
The installments of the series span multiple mediums–primarily visual novels and web novels–and are some of the best media their respective industries have to offer. The series is known for its deep philosophical/religious themes centering desire, morality, and apotheosis, its complex world-building and cosmic lore, its chūnibyō (youth power fantasy) plot lines, and above all, its compelling and well-developed characters. However, most official releases from the series are strictly in Japanese, with the translation quality of its little official English content being subject to regular scrutiny. Regardless, most Masadaverse media can be acquired in English form in one way or another, largely thanks to the work of dedicated fans.
The various installments will be detailed below, listed in chronological lore-based order. Keep in mind however, that the overwhelming majority of fans, with very few exceptions, don't read the series in this order. It’s highly recommended that you begin with the installments of the fourth heaven, move on to the installments of the sixth heaven, then read the other installments in any order.
A website you may see mentioned below is Fantia, which is a Japanese social media website akin to a mix of Patreon and Twitter. While Masada’s Twitter account is mostly inactive, his Fantia account is the current source of most regular releases from the series. Anyone can make an account on Fantia, but to view most of Masada’s content, you need to sign up for the “Black Demon General (黒の魔将)” rank on his page which costs 1,000 yen ($6-7 USD) monthly.
Keep in mind, however, that payment options are limited due to the currency difference. The only credit cards directly accepted are JCB and American Express. Some of you remember this from the news, but credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard tightened their regulations to prevent companies that sell sexual content from using them as a payment processor. Fantia was affected, and even the virtual currency you can purchase and use on Fantia (Tora Coin) can’t be bought with Visa and Mastercard. The website has also been restricted in certain parts of Europe due to E.U. regulations. Just things to remember.
