YM778.TV Chapter 39: Thread 4: The EX-Rank Phenomenon
212: Anonymous Explorer
No one else can match going into the lower floors, so it\'s understandable.
213: Anonymous Explorer
We only need this guy as a dungeon streamer now.
214: Anonymous Explorer
But there are people who watch dungeon streams just to see the girls, you know!?
215: Anonymous Explorer
In reality, he\'s left most dungeon streamers in the dust.
216: Anonymous Explorer
First, he collabs with the famous streamer Asagao in the lower floors.
Second, he streams solo from the deep floors.
No other streamer can keep up, LOL.
217: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞216
The low-tier streamers are probably sulking on social media now.
218: Anonymous Explorer
When a famous person appears, they just sulk about it, anyway.
219: Anonymous Explorer
Really…
220: Anonymous Explorer
Why did they think they could beat an EX-rank?
221: Anonymous Explorer
The deep floors were more of a hell than I imagined.
222: Anonymous Explorer
For streamers, numbers are everything.
They\'re sulking because a newcomer overtook them in the rankings.
223: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞221
After seeing that, of course everyone would be satisfied with just the safe middle or lower floors.
224: Anonymous Explorer
The middle floors are safe?
225: Anonymous Explorer
Your sense of danger is totally messed up.
226: Anonymous Explorer
EX-rank is what\'s messed up.
227: Anonymous Explorer
I was admiring the beautiful lake, and then suddenly it turned into a volcanic area—made me laugh.
228: Anonymous Explorer
The environmental changes are so drastic, you\'ll catch a cold.
229: Anonymous Explorer
You might actually catch one, so stop it.
230: Anonymous Explorer
The temperature difference must be insane.
231: Anonymous Explorer
The temperature difference between Kisaragi-kun and the viewers is also insane.
232: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞231
Isn\'t that just because Kisaragi-kun is weird?
233: Anonymous Explorer
If he\'s hanging out in the deep floors all the time...
234: Anonymous Explorer
No wonder he\'s lost his mind.
235: Anonymous Explorer
Your mind would definitely break.
236: Anonymous Explorer
Do you think this will make more people want to become explorers?
At least, I\'ve given up.
237: Anonymous Explorer
I think I\'ll just stick to the upper floors.
238: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞237
You probably don\'t even have an explorer license.
239: Anonymous Explorer
If the deep floors of Shibuya Dungeon are like that, what about the others?
240: Anonymous Explorer
Shibuya Dungeon hasn\'t even been fully conquered yet.
241: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞238
Are you picking a fight?
242: Anonymous Explorer
But the volcanic turtle that appeared in the stream looked incredibly strong.
243: Anonymous Explorer
He called it a rare monster.
244: Anonymous Explorer
It seems like there aren\'t many monsters of that level, though.
245: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞241
Oh? Are you getting mad because he told the truth?＾＾
246: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞245
Die.

Don\'t start a fight here.
248: Anonymous Explorer
I\'ll ban you.
249: Anonymous Explorer
I wonder how much a deep-floor magic stone would sell for.
250: Anonymous Explorer
I wouldn\'t want to go to a place like that even for a billion yen.
251: Anonymous Explorer
Exactly.
252: Anonymous Explorer
Being an explorer isn\'t a job for humans.
253: Anonymous Explorer
True that.
254: Anonymous Explorer
The middle floors aren\'t so bad, though.
255: Anonymous Explorer
There are probably only a handful of people in the world who can explore the deep floors.
256: Anonymous Explorer
Even overseas, there are hardly any lower-floor streams.
257: Anonymous Explorer
Kisaragi-kun was also talking about deep floors overseas.
258: Anonymous Explorer
WDAO is a secretive organization, but I guess they\'re doing their job.
259: Anonymous Explorer
Well, dungeons are full of state secrets.
260: Anonymous Explorer
True that.
261: Anonymous Explorer
I want him to stream from overseas dungeons too.
262: Anonymous Explorer
But I really want him to conquer Shibuya Dungeon first.
263: Anonymous Explorer
Was that a shikigami he used to defeat the volcanic turtle?
264: Anonymous Explorer
If he conquers Shibuya Dungeon, he\'ll get the Order of Cultural Merit.
265: Anonymous Explorer
The Order of Cultural Merit is just for boosting government approval ratings.
266: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞263
It was a shikigami.
267: Anonymous Explorer
What\'s the point of getting the Order of Cultural Merit?
268: Anonymous Explorer
Shikigami can talk like that?
269: Anonymous Explorer
Since he creates them himself, it\'s basically like playing with dolls.
270: Anonymous Explorer
Who knows?
271: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞263
He mentioned "Kijin" and "Byakko," so it\'s probably the Twelve Heavenly Generals.
272: Anonymous Explorer
What\'s that?
273: Anonymous Explorer
Isn\'t that an Onmyoji thing?
274: Anonymous Explorer
Like the shikigami Abe no Seimei controlled?
275: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞272
In simple terms, it\'s an upgraded shikigami—basically a group of gods.
276: Anonymous Explorer
Did he really summon gods?
277: Anonymous Explorer
Are there even gods?
278: Anonymous Explorer
With dungeons around, does that even surprise you anymore?
279: Anonymous Explorer
A lot of people seem confused, but Onmyoji were more like fortune-tellers than mages.
They were popular in the Heian period and were basically called Onmyoji.
The Twelve Heavenly Generals come from a type of divination called "Rikujin Shin-ka," which divides directions into 12 and assigns important gods or divine beasts to each direction.
Also, the Twelve Heavenly Generals and the Twelve Divine Generals are different.
The Twelve Heavenly Generals are from Rikujin Shin-ka, originating in China, while the Twelve Divine Generals are from Buddhism, originating in India.

So helpful.
283: Anonymous Explorer
So, what does that mean?
284: Anonymous Explorer
(Confused Cat meme)
285: Anonymous Explorer
Kijin is the leader of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, so it\'s probably the strongest one.
286: Anonymous Explorer
I don\'t really get it.
287: Anonymous Explorer
I just know that Kisaragi-kun is amazing.
288: Anonymous Explorer
Yeah, this is definitely EX-level stuff.
289: Anonymous Explorer
Some might recognize Kijin as Tianyi Shen.
290: Anonymous Explorer
Is that really true?
291: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞289
I have no idea what that is.
292: Anonymous Explorer
Stop dropping complicated terms suddenly.
293: Anonymous Explorer
Kisaragi-kun—
Commands gods—
Strong.
294: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞293
This.
295: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞293
So clear and simple.
296: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞293
Finally, a summary even we short-attention-span people can understand.
297: Anonymous Explorer
Is it really that helpful?
298: Anonymous Explorer
You guys don\'t understand anything, do you?
299: Anonymous Explorer
Lol.
300: Anonymous Explorer
Just knowing he\'s "strong" is enough.
301: Anonymous Explorer
Yep, that\'s good enough.
302: Anonymous Explorer
Man, this thread is full of idiots.
303: Anonymous Explorer
Why not just summon a bunch of yokai and have a Hyakki Yagyo instead of using the Twelve Heavenly Generals?
304: Anonymous Explorer
Kisaragi Tsukasa = Leader of Hyakki Yagyo theory.
305: Anonymous Explorer
I\'m against this new theory.
306: Anonymous Explorer
Was there even a theory before this…?
307: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞304
You\'re banned from the academic community.
308: Anonymous Explorer
He was exploring the deep floors of Shibuya Dungeon, so what\'s next?
309: Anonymous Explorer
Obviously, going beyond the 65th floor.
310: Anonymous Explorer
Another trip through hell, huh?
311: Anonymous Explorer
Just watching is fine by me.

When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Good morning, Nietzsche.
314: Anonymous Explorer
Calling a historical figure "Good morning" is hilarious.
315: Anonymous Explorer
That\'s gotta be blasphemy, right?
316: Anonymous Explorer
In this case, "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster" is more relevant.
317: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞316
He\'s already a monster, so it\'s fine.
318: Anonymous Explorer
It\'s really not fine, though…
319: Anonymous Explorer
Nietzsche was talking about mental stuff, though.

Don\'t mess around with Beyond Good and Evil.

Just staring at it, huh.

＞＞321
Double take, huh?
324: Anonymous Explorer
Kisaragi-kun said he might start streaming requests from the Explorer Association too, lol. [Image]
325: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞324
That\'s not funny, though?
326: Anonymous Explorer
What…?
327: Anonymous Explorer
Is there anything he won\'t stream?
328: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞324
So he\'s gonna show us not just deep floors but also dungeon anomalies?
329: Anonymous Explorer
He\'s basically the PR for the Explorer Association at this point.
330: Anonymous Explorer
Soon he\'ll start posting etiquette guides or something.
331: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞330
I\'d actually want to see that.
332: Anonymous Explorer
"When summoning shikigami, please be mindful of your surroundings."
333: Anonymous Explorer
＞＞332
That only applies to you, lol.
334: Anonymous Explorer
Stop teaching useless etiquette, lol.
335: Anonymous Explorer
I wonder if he\'ll collab with other dungeon streamers.
336: Anonymous Explorer
But there are so few middle-floor streamers.
337: Anonymous Explorer
They\'d just drag him down, lol.
338: Anonymous Explorer
Forget that, just show more of the deep floors.
339: Anonymous Explorer
He should team up with Kamishiro Rion in an American dungeon!
340: Anonymous Explorer
America would be destroyed.
341: Anonymous Explorer
Go to Antarctica.
342: Anonymous Explorer
There\'s this idea that it\'s okay to destroy the Antarctica Dungeon.
343: Anonymous Explorer
But the Antarctic Treaty says it\'s off-limits.
344: Anonymous Explorer
Getting to Antarctica alone is already a huge challenge.
345: Anonymous Explorer
Is this guy even thinking?
346: Anonymous Explorer
Probably not.
347: Anonymous Explorer
I don\'t think he really thinks much at all.
348: Anonymous Explorer
He probably just started streaming because he was bored.
349: Anonymous Explorer
He said it\'s because it\'s trendy.
350: Anonymous Explorer
Such a bandwagoner, lol.
351: Anonymous Explorer
Bandwagoner (EX).

He might be a bandwagoner with streaming, but he\'s not with dungeons.

Lol.

EX-rankers are all weirdos.
355: Anonymous Explorer
Of course.

He said himself that you have to be crazy to be a dungeon explorer.
357: Anonymous Explorer
Stop saying unnecessary things.
358: Anonymous Explorer
That only applies to those going beyond the lower floors.
359: Anonymous Explorer
The upper floors are like a part-time job.

There\'s no real danger involved.

I wish he\'d come down to Okinawa where I am. I want to be in the stream.
