In the .hack//G.U. novels, Tomonari [Kuhn's PC] mentions that he and Mai had continued dating after high school by email and gradually drifted apart as their interests diverged before breaking up. Mai went on to volunteer abroad in places like South Asia and Africa, while Tomonari remained directionless and living in Kanazawa. The breakup had a lasting effect on Tomonari, who years afterward, still regrets messing up his only "real relationship".

not sure if that was Endora or my own keyboard slip but I blame her
Avatar
Shaiapouf 21-Apr-22 11:59 PM
the basic plot of the .hack OVAs is that Kuhn's player gets put in a coma which Mai very narrowly avoids due to having a good ear and realizing something was wrong (essentially she naturally has the skill for detecting danger that Atoli has through her epitaph) and she ends up teaming up with another girl and a older guy who used to code for CC corp and they investigate what caused Kuhn to fall into a coma

you can kinda see why CC corp bought into it. Sorta.

"remember that time the whole game was an AIDA server, and then it wasn't? I'm the one who's fixed it" -Sakaki, probably
Avatar
Shaiapouf 22-Apr-22 12:07 AM
because it sounds like a lot of very complicated business diplomacy
00:07
as we log in we get a scene again. It looks like CC corp is getting fed up with Sakaki now too

I do kinda wonder what happens exactly if Anteres wins here. Like, this tournament exists purely to torture Haseo but if he loses he's just gonna continue hanging around
00:13
so I guess Sakaki is just stuck like...doing the rest of the tournament kinda dourly
Avatar
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni" 22-Apr-22 12:13 AM
so what would actually happen if Haseo lost in round 1

it's baffling that they were just fine locking Yata's player out of his accounts but can't bring themselves to revoke Sakaki's permissions and IP ban him
