This should be Supplementary as the Renegade was the main part of this episode.

Isn't Zero Point in the arctic? Or possibly Antarctic. Either way just getting troops there would be a long an arduous process. Maintaining even a small presence for a matter of days would be a logistical nightmare.
On the other hand carving out a crater via long-range missile bombardment, nuclear or otherwise, would be relatively simple.

Also... what the heck's with Paul's selective acceptation of how reincarnation works? He had no problem with the Hawks reincarnating through the ages and getting back together each time, but now when it its Usagi and Mamoru suddenly he's all "is that you or just the memories of dead people".

Different circumstances. The Hawks have reincarnated and remarried several times. Clearly it works for them. Usagi and Mamoru are first time reincarnations. How much of 'them' is preserved and how much baggage is carried over is unknown.

Might also be that Paul is conscious of their ages and just wants them to slow down and think before they get in too deep.

 

[Mr Zoat]

Ooof, that's a flub. So... Mamoru's an orphan. Car accident when he was six(birthday at that), killed his parents and gave him retrograde amnesia from anything before the accident. Doesn't even remember what his original name was.

So.... yeah. Worrying about his parents isn't actually something Mamoru has to do(Makoto to, though in her case it was a plane accident).

Ah, I'll change it then. We he adopted, or did he grow up in an orphanage?

'males and females'? The sentence feels a little awkward to me.

Click to shrink...

They have the categories male and female.

Nooo! But actually, was it ever mentioned what he reserved? I don't think he got a chance to explain before everything happened.

A place in a restaurant. Fortunately, they'll probably accept 'we were dragged into a parallel universe' as an excuse.

I would think that it's because the hawks get together before recovering their past life memories.

Click to shrink...

Because he's studied the mechanism for the Hawks, and as Sockmonkey says, they were already together.

Sandro can handle anything left there.

Click to shrink...

Sandro would rather permanently give up his right arm than go back to Ashan. He's staying on Phobos.

That part's complicated. And irrelevant here, especially after they super-nuked that Hell.

Click to shrink...

Just a chunk of it. Hell is very big.

So close.

He's exaggerating, but it's amazing what you can achieve with unlimited resources and political unity.

If there is any military in the world that has the logistics to put a significant chunk of the army in Antarctica, it would be the US Military. Their logistics capacity is quite literally unmatched in the world.

And in response to a magical demonic attack that consumed a fair chunk of the planet, there aint anyone who is going to be against giving the military infinite money to do something about it.

 

[NightmareWarden]

Angelica wasn't very sociable. Her knowledge from many, many years as Blaze didn't really come up in this adventure.

I figured some sort of angelic technique (or a recalibrated demonic spell) would have been helpful for this Earth. Now that her own ego and demonic urges aren't urging her towards bad choices, I figured we might see a bit of Constantine or Golden Boy in her role as a party member. Getting back to "leaving a lasting impact on one of these worlds," she could leave some sort of blessed object on at least one world. Magic for an emergency, with enough juice in it to contact Angelica through the Bleed between universes. Maybe a cross to pray at or one specific Bible.

Oh well. Maybe she's become motivated to keep researching WHY this happened once she returns to her Earth.

Apparently, in the live action version he was fostered. Unless it's explicitly stated as being different in the other versions, assume that he's talking about his foster family and doesn't see the point in explaining the whole situation.

Man, he's really just doing everything possible to fuck over the Sailor Moon universe, isn't he.

Random question Zoat, have you ever played dishonored or the sequels? Cause looking at it from an outside perspective, Delilah Copperspoon isn't really an evil person outside of her hatred for the actual royal family... by normal imperial standards anyway. She took the throne from her niece, and if she was advised to rule better she might have ended up better than the protagonist/empress, who honestly didn't like her job much but really wanted her father back.

You may need to kill a duke or two but generally speaking it occurred to me that, "right to rule" aside Delilah isn't really worse than Emily at the start of the game, and how an OL would deal with that.

I tend to think that if you're going to overthrow a non-tyrannous queen, you better be able to do the job a lot better than them by yourself. Any advisors you rope in, you could have just recommended to them. Or just become their leading advisor and take as much work as they'll give you, becoming the eminence grise.
