[ More about the Shroud brothers missing from LitB with Baymax debate here and here. ]

Yeeeah, this “jumping to conclusion” thing is a quirk of the English-speaking fandom space and it unfortunately isn’t going away anytime soon. Fans have often assumed quality and intentions when the content hasn’t even been put out yet (most notably with GloMasq during its initial release).

I haven’t had the chance to play LitB with Baymax myself yet (been busy!) so I had a friend grab these screencaps and explain the situation to me. Basically, Idia and Ortho aren’t in this event because, like I had predicted in my initial posts, it would resolve the conflicts way too easily.

As I understand it, there is a robot battle in the shady alleyways and streets; the boys lie and enter Grim as a robot. Could you imagine what would happen if they entered Ortho, who is equipped with a DEATH LASER??? It’d be so over for the other competitors.

“But the books change the clothes they’re in!”, “Nightmare 2 proves the book can assign Ortho a non-lethal Gear!” True, true. But let’s look at example 2, which rules out ALL Ignihyde students.

It gets to a point in the story where the group has to manufacture a robot strong enough to defeat the reigning robo-champ, as it is it blocking their route home. The plan is to engineer parts to upgrade Baymax into a fighter. Rook explicitly points out that it would be useful if they had an Ignihyde student, as they excel in technomantic engineering.

In other words, Idia and Ortho may have been intentionally excluded from this event roster because otherwise they would be solving the primary conflict of this event way too quickly. (We’re only at the halfway point of the event.)

zhsnvwjwjwkd I don’t know how many times the Twst fandom has to go through another case of the fans negatively overreacting based on the smallest scraps of information before we learn our lesson and wisen up 😔

P.S. I was also sent this screencap out of context (Baymax is saying “Diagnosis: puberty.”) 😭 Wtf is happening in this event…

folks, I think it's been 10 years of loving ryuji sakamoto. thank you for sharing the love and sticking with me 🥰✨💛
