Horikoshi drops a ton of random lore about My Hero Academia from the ULTRA AGE Book that just released today!

I'll translate some of the lore in this thread!

One of the lore bits: As a teacher, Deku teaches the subjects of History and Hero History! #MHAUltraAge Question: How does the armor that Deku received from Class A function?

-It tries to mimic various OFA abilities, for example, it has cable extensions like that functions like his ability Black Whip. It also serves as a prototype where he can try to combine various abilities

The NieR Automata 5th Anniversary Fan Festival 12022 event was amazing! I went to the Day 1 show, and here's my thread of topics they covered, song list, and a short summary of the various drama readings by the voice actors and actresses! 🧵 #NieRAutomata NieR Fanfest event was separated into three segments:
-dev talk with Yoko Taro, Yosuke Saito, Takahisa Taura (Platinum Games Dev), and Ito Saki (Nier Replicant 1.22 Director)
-seiyuu talk and light-hearted drama reading
-concert + original story for NieR Automata AND Replicant

Okay so..there's even more oddness to the NieR Automata Church video. I noticed earlier but decided to translate subs based on the canon Replicant dialogue.

Church video:
本当の声は誰に間う

1.22 Japanese dialogue:
本当の声は誰に問う

There's a big difference between 間う & 問う The word 間う is almost never used. I had to Google this to see its true meaning, and it's apparently another way to write 窺う, which means to spy, to examine closely.

It looks like a typo where the dialogue should have said 問う (to ask).

FFXIV 6.2 NEW TEASER ART DROPPED WITH THEMIS, ERICHTHONIOS, AND LAHABREA, LET'S GOOOOO! 😱😱😱 Who's the guy on the bottom? That's not Hesperos, right?

There is a very weird coincidence going on regarding that "sadfutago" user's NieR Automata church video posts on reddit and the time codes in relation to the NieR Automata 5th Anniversary event ticket lottery announcement...

here's a short thread about this conspiracy theory lol So originally back in June 28th when the event was first announced, fans living in Japan could apply for the lottery to get a chance to win a ticket to the event.

The announcement for the lottery should have been July 26th at 3pm.

Horikoshi's comment on the MHA Vol. 6 light novel:

"I can't believe this is the 6th light novel! I'd love to one day be the mangaka to Yoshi-sensei's stories about the everyday lives of characters in MHA.

💪MY HERO ACADEMIA WORLD HEROES MISSION MOVIE SUMMARY THREAD💪

#WHMspoilers

I watched the Boku No Hero Academia WORLD HEROES MISSION movie on opening day, and here's my summary translation.

I give the movie a 7/10. Not as good as the previous movies, but still a lot of fun! The movie starts off with Humarize committing an act of terror and bombing a bunch of people to remove their quirks, but this also causes their quirks to explode, killing a ton of civilians. This cuts to everyone already at their internships around the world. #WHMspoilers

FF7R Producer Kitase and Co-Director Hamaguchi talked a bit about Part 2 during the CEDEC conference! Here's the excerpt's translation.

Kitase mentions for Part 2, they want to deliver something that will live up to everyone's expectations but also throw them off, in a good way. It took me a while to translate Kitase's quote because I was having trouble finding the right words to translate 「いい意味で裏切る」(literally "a betrayal in a good way"). I interpreted it as surprising the audience by going beyond their expectations but to "throw them off."
