Gambling is a real addiction and gacha games are just one example of it that flies under the radar! Yes, it can be a serious detriment to your relationships, finances, and mental health when you struggle with restraining yourself with gacha games. Addiction can happen to anybody and there's no shame in needing help recovering! If you're going to gamble, give yourself a reasonable budget and stick to it! Remember that if you don't get the unit you want the first time around, it'll come back eventually and you can save up instead!

I'm not s professional, take my translations of Japanese with a Grain of salt

Don't sleep with your prosthetics on/in, don't sleep with your glasses on/contacts in, don't sleep with your binder on/chest bound(except when instructed by a medical professional such as following surgery,) just be sure to remove any medical aids and body modifiers and such! This is both for your body's sake and for the sake of those things--you don't wanna get hurt and you don't want them getting damaged either.

Stats for when shirtless eyes open prosthetic exposed haru isn't enough for you I guess

Character Card: Void Cleaver (「無明を断つ刃」 "Avidyā Cleaving Blade" ('Avidyā' is the buddhist concept of ignorance or misconceptions of metaphysical reality. I considered trying to translate it to something like 'Spirit-Blindness' but that doesn't really cover its meaning so. . . .)) Skill: Centerline Slash (「胴斬り」 "Deadly Torso Slash" ("horizontal cut across the torso (sword technique)" the characters used mean "torso" and "kill" so I went with that) Fully Awakened Skill: Swallow Counter (「燕返し」 "Quickly Reversed Cut" ('swallow counter' is the name of a judo throw written/pronounced the same way.))

Next episode is "S2 E5: Waves Of Love Act I" (「Ｗａｖｅｓ　ｏｆ Ｌｏｖｅ(前編)」 "Waves Of Love (Part One)")!? They stopped making the preview images available before it's time--but assuming it's anything like last season's and assuming they'll have a different cast. . .I probably couldn't tell you anything with just the preview image anyway lol DIONYSIA MEMBERS IN WAVES OF LOVE PERHAPS??? also ANOTHER TWO PARTER!!! Since last time we only had those near the end of the season maybe we'll be going towards the Gala again? We are skipping like two months from last episode. . . .

Uuuh that's all I've got for you besides the stats tho! And my yapping!

Gacha is gambling! Banners rerun! Consider the actual value to you--both in terms of the gameplay and the temporary "ownership"--of having the cards. Are you actually going to boost their stats with your limited resources? Are you going to pay diamonds to use the icon for the unit? Are you going to try and use the outfit on the home screen(I haven't written a guide for this yet but if you have an android and you can access your game files there's a workaround for this that doesn't require owning the card)? Do you get anything out of successfully pulling the unit that you wouldn't get from saving the PNG? With those answers in mind, consider the actual worthiness of pulling for the unit, especially if you'll have to pay for diamonds to do so! If you do choose to gamble, gamble responsibly. Set limits for yourself and stick to them!

Yada yada a preschooler could do better at Japanese than I could. Also there were like specific jargon terms in this one so it ended up taking longer than I expected despite that I pre-wrote everything I could!!

It's fine to ask for help, but it's important to try and help yourself first. That doesn't just mean following the instructions you've been given but looking for available information and double checking it with the information that you have before giving up and asking. Obviously sometimes you'll miss things and that's fine too. We all have bad days--including the people you may need to ask for help.

Anyway stats and I'll see you in like 20 hours!
